Dynasil Corporation of America Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results

Operating Income for the Quarter increases 300%

NEWTON, Mass., Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynasil Corporation of America DYSL, a developer and manufacturer of optics and photonics products, optical detection and analysis technology and components for the homeland security, medical and industrial markets, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2015 third quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Dynasil reported net income for the quarter of $0.4 million or $0.02 per share compared with breakeven income or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  Optics segment revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased to $5.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 9% compared to the same quarter in 2014.  Contract Research segment revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $4.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 15% compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

"Our Optometrics, Hilger and EMF subsidiaries all continued to experience solid revenue growth," said Dynasil Chairman and CEO Peter Sulick, "and I anticipate continued growth in the Optics segment in the fourth quarter.  Growth for both Optometrics and Hilger are the result of large customer contracts while EMF's growth includes the DichroTec business, acquired in June, 2014.  Our strategy of selective acquisitions complementary with our existing business, leveraging our contract research business for commercial opportunities and organic revenue growth across our optics businesses is reflected in our improved quarter."

"Our Contract Research segment revenues have been steady for the first three quarters of fiscal 2015 after a contraction that began in last year's second quarter in response to government fiscal constraint on R & D," continued Mr. Sulick.  "We have continued to prudently manage our costs and our backlog which stands at $35 million as of June 30, 2015.  While forecasting is particularly difficult given the government funding constraints and uncertainty in future awards, I am optimistic that Contract Research segment revenues will increase modestly in the fourth quarter.  You should also take note of our right sizing this business as circumstances dictate.  The business is being managed by an experienced group of scientific and business professionals."

"Overall, both our operating segments reported increased operating profits for the quarter compared to the prior year.  However, we also consolidate the results of our 90% owned joint venture, Xcede, and while it continues to make progress with its tissue sealant technology, Xcede continues to incur approximately $250,000 of Research and Development expense each quarter which is included in our results.  I believe the Xcede business, which continues to be funded by outside angel investors and certain members of Dynasil's executive team and board of directors, represents a significant opportunity for Dynasil.  On August 7, we converted the provisional patents filed last year on the improved Xcede patch, which were presented at our annual meeting to full utility patents.  This filing is a major step toward protecting Xcede's intellectual property as we continue down the path to potential commercialization.  We remain very committed to the realization of value for this technology as one of the most exciting opportunities within Dynasil."
