Fourth consecutive quarter of positive book-to-bill (2:1) and sets record order level
Net Loss Attributable to Kopin was
"The third quarter of 2023 was marked by positive momentum with follow-on orders and strong customer engagement and satisfaction," said Michael Murray, Kopin's Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance and outlook were supported by our fourth consecutive quarter of positive book to bill with a ratio of approximately two to one. During the third quarter, we achieved a new record level for orders received within the year since the divesture of the HBT business ten years ago.

“We continue to take a disciplined approach to cost controls which has led to strategically reducing research & development (“R&D”) and certain selling, general and administration expenses. The benefit of our cost controls efforts has significantly improved our bottom line and we were close to achieving our cash breakeven goal for the quarter, excluding the impact of non-cash stock compensation expense and legal costs from ongoing litigation.
Mr. Murray concluded: "Looking forward, we remain ahead of our goals on our strategic initiatives, which are the bedrock for significant and sustainable revenue and profitable growth. We have significantly increased our 2024 order cover with higher prices on several key programs and believe there are opportunities for additional follow-on orders within the quarter. As a result of our strong order book, we anticipate production will significantly increase in 2024. To ensure we execute on this anticipated production ramp we are taking steps to improve production flow for long term profitability, which may impact fourth quarter of 2023’s revenues. As we stated in January, our goal for 2023 was to position Kopin for long-term growth by driving new customer design activities that fuel our future product pipeline and growth. We believe Kopin is well positioned to deliver exciting new technologies, revenues, and long-term sustainable growth.”
