IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2017 / PRO-DEX, INC. PDEX today announced financial results for its fiscal 2018 first quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained approximately flat and totaled $5.2 million, an increase of $33,000, or 1%, from $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $436,000, or 31%, to $1.9 million, compared to $1.4 million for the year-ago period, primarily due to efficiencies in our manufacturing and assembly operations as well as savings created by in-sourcing previously out-sourced manufactured parts. As a result, gross margin has improved by 8 percentage points to 36% during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 28% 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, 2017 decreased 12% to $1.0 million from $1.1 million in the prior year's corresponding quarter, reflecting primarily the prior year impairment of intangible assets of $113,000 relating to the Huber Precision business acquisition.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $628,000, or $.15 per share, compared to $286,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, or $0.07 per share.

CEO Comments

Richard L. ("Rick") Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our strong earnings growth this quarter, despite relatively flat sales. We plan to continue to focus on our core medical device products and expect to invest more in research and development during the balance of fiscal 2018, especially since we plan to release our Pro-Dex branded thoracic driver later this fiscal year."
