Atomera Incorporated Provides First Quarter Update

LOS GATOS, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/02/17 — Atomera Incorporated (“Atomera” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and intellectual property licensing company focused on deploying its proprietary technology into the semiconductor industry, today provided a corporate update and announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Entered evaluation phase with one top-tier semiconductor manufacturer and entered into the planning phase with one new prospective customer. Atomera now has four potential customers in the pivotal phase of evaluating MST®.

Atomera–s new R&D infrastructure is starting to show results with eight wafer fabrication and test cycles completed in the last quarter.

“The last few months have been extraordinarily productive for Atomera,” commented Scott Bibaud, President and CEO. “We are now working with 40% of the world–s largest semiconductor manufacturers and have made significant progress with technology advancements that should help us shorten the sales cycle,” added Mr. Bibaud.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.5 million, or ($0.29) per share, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or ($0.28) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2016, and a net loss of $2.5 million, or ($1.54) per share, for the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) in the first quarter of 2017 was a loss of $2.4 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 of $2.1 million, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016.

The Company had $23.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017, compared to $26.7 million as of December 31, 2016.

The total number of shares outstanding was 12,104,737 as of March 31, 2017.

In addition to the unaudited results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, Atomera presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a nonGAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and eliminating the impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stockbased compensation and the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the definitions of similarlytitled measures used by other companies. We believe that this nonGAAP financial measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of its reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is used as part of the Company–s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A table reconciling this measure to the comparable GAAP measure is available in the accompanying financial tables below.

Atomera Incorporated has developed Mears Silicon Technology (“MST®”), which increases performance and power efficiency in semiconductor transistors. MST® can be implemented using equipment already deployed in semiconductor manufacturing facilities and is complementary to other nanoscaling technologies already in the semiconductor industry roadmap.

This press release contains forwardlooking statements concerning Atomera Incorporated, including statements regarding the prospects for the semiconductor industry generally and the ability of our MST® technology to significantly improve semiconductor performance. Those forwardlooking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Among those factors are: (1) the fact that we have not yet commenced revenue producing operations or entered into a definitive agreement with regard to the licensing or commercialization of our MST technology, thus subjecting us to all of the risks inherent in a prerevenue enterprise? (2) risks related to our ability to raise sufficient capital, as and when needed, to pursue the further development, licensing and commercialization of our MST® technology? (3) our ability to protect our proprietary technology, trade secrets and knowhow, and (4) those other risks disclosed in the section “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forwardlooking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur.
