Results Highlights:
- Fourth quarter total revenue of $ 10.5 million, an increase of 22% over prior quarter and 1% over the same period last year; 2017 fiscal year revenue of $ 37.2 million.
- Fourth quarter net income of $ 0.1 million compared to net loss of $ (3.0) million in the same period last year.
- Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $ 2.1 million, or 20% of revenue.

"The fourth quarter of 2017 marked Intermolecular's first GAAP profitable quarter in five years, driven by a 22% increase in revenue and a 10% decrease in operating expense as compared to the prior quarter," said company president and CEO, Chris Kramer. "From an operational standpoint, we added three new programs during the fourth quarter and we also formed an important strategic alliance with the Shanghai Industrial Technology Research Institute (SITRI), which we believe will drive future revenue opportunities for Intermolecular in the second half of 2018 and beyond."

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $ 10.5 million, up 22% compared to $ 8.6 million in the third quarter of 2017, and up 1% compared to $ 10.5 million in the same period a year ago.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $ 0.1 million, or $ 0.00 per share, compared to net loss of $ (1.8) million, or $ (0.04) per share, in the third quarter of 2017 and net loss of $ (3.0) million, or $ (0.06) per share, in the same period a year ago.

Full Year Fiscal 2017 Results

Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2017 was $ 37.2 million, down 21% compared to $ 47.3 million in 2016. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the strategic transition of the company's business model in 2017 from a royalty and services model to a services-based program model.

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 are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects" and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond Intermolecular's control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: 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.
