WHEAT RIDGE, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol testing devices, has announced financial results for the 2019 fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
2019 Financial Highlights
Lifeloc Technologies posted annual net revenue of $8.752 million resulting in 2019 after tax net income of $626 thousand, or $0.26 per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $8.438 million for 2018, with net income of $217 thousand, or $0.09 per diluted share. The 2019 results include a one-time gain of $225 thousand from a licensing settlement. Without this one-time gain, pretax net income would have been $462 thousand. Without this one-time gain, revenue for 2019 grew 4% over the prior year. Our balance sheet grew stronger as well, with a growth in cash of $398 thousand and debt reduction of $43 thousand.
In 2019 Lifeloc released its second generation, patent protected EasyCal® calibration station. This new model is now capable of calibrating the entire line of Lifeloc professional breath alcohol testers. New features of our automated calibration station include RFID (radio frequency identification) registration of calibration gas standards. These features further automate the calibration process and increase the separation between Lifeloc and its competitors.
Also in 2019, Lifeloc began the targeted release of our new platform breath alcohol testers, the LX9 and LT7. The LX9 adds new modes of communication while both the LX9 and LT7 have wide temperature use ranges and are readily configurable for custom usages. Both the LX9 and LT7 models were added to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s conforming product list in November 2019. Both models are receiving positive customer reviews.
The release of these new products represents the completion of multiyear research and development investments to offer leading technology to our industry. With these projects winding down, our R&D decreased to 12% of revenue in 2019. However, we expect R&D spending to increase in 2020 as we invest for the significant growth opportunities of alcohol monitoring and drug detection. In the first quarter of 2020, we expect to release the redesigned Real-Time Alcohol Detection and Reporting (R.A.D.A.R.®) device. We also plan to deploy additional resources toward the development of our rapid drug detection system based on the SpinDx™ technology. It is anticipated that our rapid drug detection system will include a rapid, quantitative marijuana breathalyzer. This remains our most critical goal, but there is still substantial work to be done.
“Our new product releases contributed to the growth experienced in 2019 and are expected to continue to drive growth in 2020. We proceed toward our strategic objectives, which are to gain market share with superior products, add value to our breath alcohol testers via automation and monitoring capability, and ultimately leverage the ease-of-use of our breath testers to develop drug testing devices,” commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. “Looking forward, we see the Coronavirus COVID-19 as a significant risk and disruption for early 2020, both for the supply chain and customer demand. We have taken steps intended to keep our workers safe and to secure the necessary raw materials to keep production running. We hope the broader adoption of the new LX platform as well as the release of the redesigned R.A.D.A.R devices will outweigh the short-term demand disruption during this early 2020 challenge.”
