Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2017 Third Quarter and Nine-Month Results

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2017 / PRO-DEX, INC. PDEX today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 third quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2017

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $1.4 million, or 28%, to $6.6 million from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to the completion 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.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $1.1 million, or 88%, to $2.5 million from $1.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2016. The increase in gross profit is reflective of cost-cutting measures that were implemented during the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 remained flat compared to the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter. The prior year amounts included a $245,000 impairment charge related to the goodwill and long-lived intangibles of the Fineline Molds division. The current quarter of fiscal 2017 did not have any similar impairment charges, but included bonus accruals, which were not accrued for in the prior fiscal year.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 increased by $209,000 to $703,000, compared to $494,000 in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2016. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $888,000, or $0.22 per share, compared to $368,000, or $0.09 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2016.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased $2.1 million, or 15%, to $16.3 million from $14.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to increases in medical device product revenues, including the newly launched CMF driver discussed above, offset by reduced repair revenue and legacy dental product sales.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased $1.6 million, or 43% compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. The gross profit increase is due to increased net sales of 15% as well as improved margins due to our investment in machinery and equipment.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased 8% to $3.3 million from $3.0 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period, reflecting primarily increased general and administrative expenses mostly related to bonus accruals and our ongoing litigation related to our former investment in real property located in Ramsey, Minnesota.

Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $4.1 million, compared to $903,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 2016. This increase also reflects the tax benefit recorded in the second quarter due to the release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $4.4 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to $633,000, or $0.15 per share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2016.

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 as well as having released our newest medical device, which contains our patented adaptive torque-limiting technology. We look forward to continuing our focus on our core medical device product and service revenue. Additionally, we recently invested in a medical device start-up company which, although long-term in nature, is an investment we believe will further enhance our technological capabilities and lead to additional manufacturing opportunities."
