For Immediate Release
PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2018 SECOND QUARTER
AND SIX-MONTH RESULTS
IRVINE, CA, February 8, 2018 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2018 second quarter ended December 31, 2017. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Quarter Ended December 31, 2017
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased $961,000, or 21%, to $5.6 million from $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, due to increased sales of our medical device products to our top three customers.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased $406,000, or 31%, to $1.7 million from $1.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2017, due to the increase in sales described above as well as cost-cutting measures that were implemented during the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 increased $328,000, or 31%, to $1.3 million compared to the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter, reflecting the impairment of our Fineline goodwill and intangible assets as well as increased research and development expenses as we work to complete a Pro-Dex branded driver for use in thoracic surgical applications, which we expect will be ready for sale and production by the end of this fiscal year.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $2.8 million to $345,000, compared to $3.1 million in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2017. This decrease reflects the income tax benefit of $2.9 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 due to the release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets because we believed at that time that it was more likely than not that we would generate sufficient levels of future profitability to realize substantially all of our deferred tax assets. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $345,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.78 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2017.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2017
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2017 increased $995,000, or 10%, to $10.7 million from $9.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, due primarily to increases in medical device product revenues. We are focusing both our research and development efforts and our business development efforts on our medical device product offerings and sales related to other ancillary products have decreased.
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2017 increased $845,000, or 31%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The gross profit increase is due to increased net sales of 10%, as well as improved margins due to our investment in machinery and equipment.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2017 increased 9% to $2.4 million from $2.2 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period, reflecting primarily increased research and development expenses as described above.
Income from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $973,000, compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017. This decrease also reflects the above-described tax benefit of $2.9 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $973,000, or $0.23 per share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.85 per share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017.
CEO Comments
Richard L. (“Rick”) Van Kirk, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date results and expect our momentum to continue for the balance of the fiscal year. We are also pleased to have been named an OC Top Workplace by the Orange County Register and a fastest growing small public company by the Orange County Business Journal, the second consecutive year we have received that recognition.” Mr. Van Kirk continued, “Finally, in January 2018, our largest customer executed a contract extension for deliveries of their surgical hand piece through calendar 2021, which will provide us with a stable base from which to build our top-line revenue.”
