PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2022 THIRD QUARTER
AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS
IRVINE, CA, May 5, 2022 -
PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company also
filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $2.5 million, or 21%, to $9.3 million from $11.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2021, due primarily to decreased sales of $2.8 million of our thoracic driver, which is
as expected after a significant launch and fulfillment of our customer's distribution network. While we expect future sales of this
product, the revenue may not follow a consistent trajectory.
Gross profit for the three months
ended March 31, 2022, decreased $1.5 million, or 35%, to $2.9 million from $4.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The gross
profit decrease is related in part to procurement of long-lead time components for many of our printed circuit board assemblies at higher
prices given the world-wide shortages of these parts. These components were necessary to support customer requirements. As an example,
a component normally costing $5 each was available at only $70 each due to these shortages. Total non-standard component costs were approximately
$340,000 for the third quarter. While this remains an issue, we are hopeful that the most challenging cost issues are behind us.
Operating expenses (which include
selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, decreased $683,000,
or 27%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021 mostly due to reduced spending on internal product development projects as our engineering
team focused more on billable customer projects.
Net income for the quarter ended
March 31, 2022, was $462,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the corresponding
quarter in fiscal 2021. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, included $919,000 of combined realized and unrealized gains on
our investment portfolio, while the quarter ended March 31, 2022, included unrealized losses of $275,000.
Nine Months Ended March
Net sales for the nine months ended
March 31, 2022, increased $832,000, or 3%, to $29.4 million from $28.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, due to increased
billable non-recurring engineering projects and despite the above mentioned component challenges.
Gross profit for the nine months
ended March 31, 2022, decreased $767,000, or 7%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. The gross profit decline for the nine months
ended March 31, 2022, is similarly due to the supply chain issues mentioned above.
Operating expenses (which include
selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, decreased 12% to
$5.7 million from $6.5 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period, mostly due to reduced spending on internal product
development projects and reduced selling expenses offset by increased general and administrative expenses due to non-cash stock based
compensation expense.
Net income for the nine months ended
March 31, 2022 was $2.5 million, or $0.65, per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for the corresponding
period in fiscal 2021. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, included $2.2 million of combined realized and unrealized
gains on our investment portfolio, while the nine months ended March 31, 2022, included unrealized losses of $427,000.
"As disclosed in our second
quarter earnings release, we knew that we were facing supply chain challenges related to component shortages and we are pleased that while
this quarter did not set any records, we were able to meet our customers' expectations and report profitable results during this
challenging period," said the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer Richard L. ("Rick") Van Kirk. "While
we are still sourcing parts that have proven difficult and costly to obtain, we have successfully navigated these sourcing challenges.
We are looking forward to a good fourth quarter and we are tracking toward record sales for the fiscal year from a revenue perspective
as we have a healthy backlog and have secured the components we need. We also have absorbed much of the additional component costs in
our third quarter. We remain optimistic going forward as we have a healthy pipeline and the additional capacity our new building provides.
