Trio-Tech Second Quarter Operating Income

Increases 63% on a 13% Gain in Revenue

 

 

Van Nuys, CA – February 10, 2023 – Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023.

 

Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Results

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, revenue increased 13% to $12,390,000, compared to $10,922,000 for the same quarter last year, driven by a 43% increase in revenue in the Company’s manufacturing segment.

Reflecting the growth in revenue and an increase in gross margin for the second quarter to 27% of revenue compared to 26% of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, operating income surged 63% to $1,069,000 compared to $656,000 last year.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $507,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $855,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Net income for this year’s second quarter was affected by a non-cash currency exchange loss of $349,000 associated with a weakening of the US dollar against the Singapore dollar during the quarter. This compares to an exchange loss of $38,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2022 increased to $29,973,000, or $7.35 per outstanding share, compared to $28,002,000, or $6.88 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2022. There were approximately 4,076,680 and 4,071,680 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

CEO Comments

S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, “We are pleased by growth in revenue and operating income that we delivered for the first half of the new fiscal year. Looking ahead, despite the potential impact of semiconductor industry capacity adjustments on our business in the second half, we remain optimistic that we will achieve our goals for long-term growth and profitability as we remain focused on improving operating efficiency, controlling expenses, and working closely with current and prospective customers to expand our business opportunities.”

 

Fiscal 2022 First Half Results

For the first six months of fiscal 2023, revenue increased 15% to $24,329,000 compared to $21,093,000 for the same period last year.
