PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH RESULTS
Revenues Up 12% and Operating Income Up 171% For Comparative Nine-Month Periods
IRVINE, CA, May 10, 2011—PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $7.6 million, 24% higher than sales of $6.2 million for the corresponding quarter in 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, sales were $19.6 million, 12% higher than sales of $17.5 million for the corresponding period in 2010. These results for both the quarter and the nine-month periods were due primarily to increases in sales of the Company’s medical device products to its two largest customers, with the nine-month period also benefitting from growth in sales of the Company’s motion control products.
Operating income was $1.1 million for the quarter, a 177% improvement from $409,000 for the corresponding 2010 period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, operating income improved 171% to $2.1 million from $778,000 for the corresponding nine-month period in 2010.
Net income for the 2011 quarter was $868,000, or $0.26 per fully-diluted share, which represents a 399% increase from net income of $174,000, or $0.05 per fully-diluted share, for the corresponding 2010 quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net income was $1.6 million, an increase of 72% from net income of $937,000 for the corresponding period in 2010.
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased to $2.9 million, a 38% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $2.3 million, a 37% gross profit margin, for the year-ago period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, gross profit was $7.5 million, a 38% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit and margin of $6.2 million and 35%, respectively, for the corresponding nine-month period in 2010. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales during both periods was due to a change in mix toward sales of medical device and motion control products at relatively higher margins, and to cost reductions.
Mark Murphy, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with the results through the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Sales and profitability for the third quarter continue to be strong, however looking forward, we remain committed to taking the necessary steps to diversify our customer base as these results may not represent the future buying pattern of our largest customer.”
The Company also announced that Mr. Paul Rudzinski has joined the Company as Vice President of Sales. Mr. Rudzinski brings 29 years of sales and sales leadership experience, most of which has been in the medical device space. Mr. Murphy commented “We are delighted to have Paul join us and believe that the combination of his experience, leadership, and industry relationships will connect the substantial capabilities of Pro-Dex with the right customers.”
Commenting on the Company’s cash generation in the third quarter, Mr. Murphy concluded, “During this nine-month period of increased sales which was accompanied by higher levels of accounts receivable and inventory, Pro-Dex nonetheless generated $1.8 million of cash from operations.”
