BEAVERTON, Ore., July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), creator of the Digimarc Platform for digital identification and detection, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Second quarter 2020 financial resultsRevenue for the second quarter of 2020 increased five percent to $6.5 million compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of growth in service revenue from Government and Retail customers.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 decreased two percent to $11.9 million compared to $12.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The primary contributors to the decrease in operating expenses were lower travel, consulting and marketing costs.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2020 decreased eight percent to $7.5 million compared to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, due to higher revenue and lower operating expenses.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 decreased six percent to $7.5 million or $(0.62) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $7.9 million or $(0.68) per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago.

At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $30.5 million compared to $36.8 million at December 31, 2019. The change in cash and investments during the second quarter was nominal due to the proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program loan, higher revenues and lower expenses.
