PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2017 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 

IRVINE, CA, November 10, 2016 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 first quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $5.4 million, an increase of 32% from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in revenue is due to expansion of our medical device customer base and is primarily driven by the production ramp of our largest customer’s unique surgical hand piece designed to be used for orthopedic surgical applications. Revenue from this product totaled $2.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $550,000, or 52%, to $1.6 million, compared to $1.1 million for the year-ago period, primarily due to the increase in sales, allowing us to better absorb our overhead costs, as well as a decrease in product costs as we have gained efficiencies in our manufacturing and assembly operations. As a result, gross margin has improved by 4 percentage points to 30% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 26% during the corresponding year-ago period.

 

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 12% to $1.3 million from $1.2 in the prior year’s corresponding quarter, reflecting primarily the impairment of intangible assets of $113,000 relating to the Huber Precision business acquisition.

 

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $286,000 or $.07 per share compared to a net loss of $125,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, or $0.03 per share.

 

CEO Comments

 

Richard L. (“Rick”) Van Kirk, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the increase in our net sales this quarter, the improvement of our product margins, and our continued profitability for four successive quarters. We continue to focus on cost-reductions related to our newest medical device products and have invested in manufacturing equipment to increase our operational efficiency.”
