First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 was $9.9 million, down 5.1% compared to fourth quarter 2016 revenue of $10.5 million and down 32% compared to $14.5 million in the same period a year ago. Program revenue was $6.8 million, down 23% compared to $8.8 million in the previous quarter and down 43% from the $12.0 million recorded in the first quarter of 2016. Licensing and royalty revenue was $3.1 million (including a $1.5 million payment in connection with the completion of a CDP), up 91% compared to $1.6 million in the previous quarter and up 23% compared to $2.6 million in the same period a year ago.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $(5.8) million, or $(0.12) per share, compared to a net loss of $(3.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2016, or $(0.06) per share. The GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $(1.7) million, or $(0.03) per share.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $(5.2) million, or $(0.10) per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(2.3) million, or $(0.05) per share, in the prior quarter and $(0.6) million, or $(0.01) per share in the first quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter was $(1.9) million, compared to EBITDA of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016.

In the first quarter, the company implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its cost structure.

As a result, the company expects to generate positive adjusted EBITDA at $10 million revenue per quarter.

Cash and investments increased from $27.8 million at December 31, 2016 to $28.0 million at March 31, 2017.

Our pipeline has deepened with additional opportunities that leverage our core capabilities for materials innovation particularly in the semiconductor ecosystem," said Chris Kramer, President and CEO of Intermolecular."The restructuring that we implemented in March 2017 has enabled IMI to become a leaner and more nimble organization.Our reduced cost structure coupled with our new customer relationships position us well for future growth and profitability."

Intermolecular reports revenue, cost of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures, is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release and the earnings call referencing the press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to, but are not limited to, our ability to productize our workflows with existing and future customers; expectations regarding our future revenue, cash flow and GAAP and non-GAAP net income or loss; financial condition; the ability of our new business model to generate profits and long-term shareholder returns; the extent to which technology developed in collaboration with our customers will continue to remain on the critical path and have significant value for such customers and us as well as the industry as a whole;and anticipated growth in our current markets through expansion of existing customer programs and the entry into other engagements with new customers. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including but not limited to: our ability to execute on our strategy, prove our business model and remain technologically competitive in rapidly evolving industry conditions; commercial acceptance of our HPC platform and methodology as effective R&D tools; our ability to achieve and sustain profitability; the ability of our customers to achieve their announced product roadmaps in a timely manner; the extent to which we are able to successfully extend and expand relationships with existing customers; our ability to manage the growth of our business; the rapid technology changes and volatility of the customers and industries we serve; our potential need for future capital to finance our operations; and other risks described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov, particularly in the sections titled "Risk Factors." All forward-looking statements are based on management's current estimates, projections and assumptions, and we assume no obligation to update them.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. These results should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We believe that our non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations because the non-GAAP measures exclude charges that management considers to be outside of Intermolecular's core operating results. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of revenue, cost of net revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income, earnings per share and net (loss) income per share, viewed in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess financial performance, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods.
