IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 10, 2018 / PRO-DEX, INC. PDEX today announced financial results for its fiscal 2018 third quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2018

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $1.1 million, or 17%, to $5.5 million from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to the completion in the prior year of an engineering project for a new product for one of our medical device customers allowing us to record approximately $750,000 in non-recurring engineering service revenue coupled with the shipment of the initial product order of both batteries and handpieces in the amount of approximately $600,000. We had no similar product development launches in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $486,000, or 20%, to $2.0 million from $2.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. The decrease in gross profit is reflective of the decline in revenue discussed above.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased $230,000, or 20%, to 1.3 million from 1.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to $227,000 in expenses associated with our ongoing internal development of a Pro-Dex branded thoracic driver utilizing our adaptive torque-limiting technology. We commenced development of this driver in March, 2017 and the corresponding expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was less than $10,000.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 decreased by $223,000 to $480,000, compared to $703,000 in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2017. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $480,000, or $0.11 per share, compared to $888,000, or $0.22 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2017.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $129,000, or 1%, to $16.2 million from $16.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to increases in medical device product revenues to three significant distributors, offset by sales of our most recently launched CMF driver during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 discussed above.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 increased $358,000 or 7% compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The gross profit increase is due to reduced lower margin non-recurring engineering services as well as management of our fixed manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 increased 13% to $3.7 million from $3.3 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period, reflecting primarily increased research and development costs as we focus development efforts on a Pro-Dex branded thoracic driver described above.

Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.5 million, compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017. The decrease reflects the tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 due to the release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.5 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to $4.4 million, or $1.07 per share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2017.

CEO Comments

Richard L. ("Rick") Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our third quarter and year-to-date results, which align with our expectations and internal plan, as well as the progress we are making on our internally developed thoracic driver, which will be available for sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We continue to reinvest and focus our growth on our core medical device product and service revenue."
