NVE Corporation Reports First Quarter Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—July 19, 2017—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 13% to $7.61 million from $6.71 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to an 18% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 15% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 5% to $3.30 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $3.13 million, or $0.65 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable August 31, 2017 to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2017.

“We are pleased to report solid growth in total revenue and net income for the quarter, driven by an 18% increase in product sales,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.

NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology, commonly known as MRAM.

Statements used in this press release that relate to future plans, events, financial results or performance are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, such factors as risks related to our reliance on several large customers for a significant percentage of revenue, uncertainties related to the economic environments in the industries we serve, uncertainties related to future contract research and development revenue, uncertainties related to future stock repurchases and dividend payments, as well as the risk factors listed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and other reports filed with the SEC.
