PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2023

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS

IRVINE, CA, October 13, 2023 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full-year ended June 30, 2023. The Company also filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) today.

 

Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

 

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $2.0 million, or 16%, to $10.6 million from $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to decreased medical device sales offset by increased repair revenue. We do not have much visibility into our customers’ distribution networks, but we surmise the decline in medical device sales is due to a buildup of customer inventory. As previously disclosed, we launched an enhanced repair program this fiscal year to upgrade the handpiece we sell our largest customer to its most current generation, which drove the increase in repair revenue. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $82,000, or 2%. Although gross profit decreased, our gross margin increased from 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, to 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to favorable product mix.

 

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, decreased 23% to $1.8 million from $2.3 million in the prior year’s corresponding quarter, due primarily to decreased expenditures of $455,000 in general and administrative expenses due mostly to reduced non-cash compensation related to stock compensation.

 

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, decreased $336,000 to $1.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the corresponding quarter in 2022.

 

Year Ended June 30, 2023

 

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 increased $4.0 million, or 10%, to $46.0 million from $42.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increases in repair revenue as well as NRE and prototype services offset by a decrease in medical device revenue. Specifically, repair revenue increased $6.0 million due to the enhanced repair program that we launched with our largest customer this fiscal year, and NRE and prototype revenue increased $1.7 million due to several billable projects offset by a decrease in medical device revenue of $3.3 million, which we believe is caused by a buildup of customer inventory.

 

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 decreased $0.4 million, or 3%, to $12.7 million compared to $13.1 million for fiscal 2022, due to increased cost of sales.

 

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 decreased 13% to $7.0 million from $8.0 million in the prior fiscal year. Of the total decrease in operating expenses, $875,000 relates to a decrease in general and administrative expenses from fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2023 due to reduced legal and settlement expenses related to employment matters and reduced non-cash compensation expense related to stock compensation.

 

Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, was $7.1 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, compared to $4.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for fiscal 2022. The most significant reason for the $2.5 million increase in net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior fiscal year, is the unrealized gain related to a warrant to purchase up to 5% of the outstanding stock of Monogram Orthopaedics, Inc. (“Monogram”) a start-up medical device company that we invested in during fiscal 2017. The Monogram warrant is the subject of a restatement of our previously issued financial statements described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC today.
