INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
reports third quarter sales of $6.2 million, earnings of $0.02 per
cash generation of $1.7 million, and a record high backlog of $13.2
IRVINE, CA, April 29,
2010 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced its financial results for
the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010.
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 25% to $6.2 million compared to $4.6
million for the previous year's third quarter due to better performance in
all three product lines (medical device, motors and industrial motion
control). Net income for the third quarter was $174,000 or $0.02 per
share compared to a net loss of $3,011,000 or $0.31 per share for the previous
year's third quarter.
accurately compare the operating results of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to
the third quarter of fiscal 2010, it is helpful to exclude the effects of
non-recurring and tax items. Excluding the non-recurring $997,000
write-off of goodwill, $45,000 in severance and the $1.96 million reserve for
deferred tax benefits in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the net loss would
have been ($0.04) per share. Comparatively, excluding the
non-recurring items in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, consisting of $250,000
of revenue, $113,000 of severance, and $224,000 of income tax estimate
adjustments, the net income would have been $0.04 per share.
Murphy, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are
pleased to report our fourth consecutive quarter of solid sales, earnings and
cash generation. Over the last 12 months, Pro-Dex has shipped $23.1 million,
earned $0.12 per share, created $2.0 million of EBITDA, and generated $3.5
million in operating cash. These numbers represent significant
improvements over our year-ago performance. Our bookings have been
strong, resulting in a record high backlog of $13.2 million on March 31, 2010,
up from $11.6 million a year earlier."
profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased to $2.3 million, a 37%
gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $1.1 million or 24% gross
profit margin in last year's third quarter. The gross profit increase
was due to increased sales, better fixed cost utilization and a more favorable
margin mix of products. Approximately 3 percentage points of the
margin increase were due to the previously noted non-recurring revenue which had
no cost of goods sold associated with it in the current quarter.
income for the third quarter (excluding the non-recurring charges)
increased from to a loss of $671,000 to a profit of $272,000 due to higher
sales, better margins, and controlled operating expenses.
the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company continued to strengthen its
balance sheet, generating an additional $1,691,000 of operating cash, of which
$549,000 was from the collection of a claim for federal income taxes due to
enhanced NOL carryback rules implemented in 2009. In the first nine
months of fiscal year 2010, the Company generated $2,661,000 in operating cash,
up $1,821,000 from the $840,000 in cash provided in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2009. At March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $3,352,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents
of $504,000 as of March 31, 2009. The Company had net cash
(total cash less debt) of $340,000 at March 31, 2010, a significant improvement
from $3.0 million of net debt at March 31, 2009.
