Lifeloc Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

WHEAT RIDGE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2023 / Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK:LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.165 million resulting in a quarterly net loss of $(54) thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.161 million and quarterly net loss of ($145) thousand, or ($0.06) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022. Revenue change for the quarter was flat, increasing just $4 thousand versus the first quarter last year. Sales were moderately constrained by supply shortages in both quarters. Gross margin in the first quarter improved to 43.2% versus 39.0% last year, due primarily to price increases and lower depreciation.

Increased research and development investment for SpinDx, combined with increased sales and marketing expense, somewhat offset by lower general and administrative expenses, contributed to the net loss in this quarter. Supply chain delays added some costs, and component inflation added more. The company implemented price increases last year in response to rising costs, with additional increases planned and some already implemented for 2023.

Our product line-up is strong. The new platforms LX9 and LT7 have features and performance that have driven penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as wider temperature ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages. We expect that most L-series sales will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than displacing FC sales. The L-series devices are meeting the requirements of the most modern registration standards, such as SAI's (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors. Our FC-series devices remain favored in many law enforcement and international organizations. The workplace Phoenix® 6.0 BT and EV30 models have been gaining market share. And our Easycal® automated calibration station builds important protection around our brand with the only automated calibration available for portable breath alcohol testers.

We believe our most important goal and best opportunity remains the convergence of the global need for rapid detection of drugs of abuse with Lifeloc's proven capability to build easy-to-use portable testing equipment. We are focusing our research and development efforts on leveraging the SpinDx™ technology platform, sometimes referred to as "Lab on a Disk," to develop a series of devices and tests that can be used at roadside and in emergency rooms, forensic labs and workplace testing to get a rapid and quantitative measure for a panel of drugs of abuse, beginning with a device that allows for detection of delta-9-THC (the major intoxicating component of the cannabis plant) from a test subject's saliva. Testing has commenced to validate the SpinDx technology against the definitive standard liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) measurement utilizing human samples. The LCMS data are validating the SpinDx test results on real-world human saliva tests at a limit of detection of approximately 10 ng/ml. With our research and development work, we continue to improve our technology's robustness and convenience of operation. Following the release of our SpinDx saliva testing system, which is expected this year and is projected to result in commercialization in 2024, we expect to accelerate development on combining our LX9 breathalyzer with the THC SpinDx detection unit, to produce our roadside marijuana breathalyzer system.

"Our first quarter sales were held back by continued supply constraints. We expect to be nearing the end of these constraints with quoted lead times for components now shortening. We expect much of our backlog to be fulfilled in the second quarter," commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. "We rely on growing sales of our current products to fund our biggest opportunity, pushing the SpinDx product platform across the finish line to commercialization. We anticipate that our research and development expenses will continue to rise in this final push. With the U.S. Department of Transportation recently issuing their rule change allowing oral fluid drug testing, the timing of SpinDx coming to market as an oral fluid tester becomes more urgent and valuable."
