IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2018 / PRO-DEX, INC. PDEX today announced financial results for its fiscal 2019 first quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $1.8 million, or 34%, to $6.9 million from $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is driven by increased sales to our largest customer.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $867,000, or 47%, to $2.7 million, compared to $1.9 million for the year-ago period, primarily due to continued efficiencies in our manufacturing and assembly operations as we continue to invest in new machinery, as well as our ability to better absorb our fixed operating costs in light of higher sales. As a result, gross margin has improved by 3 percentage points to 39% during the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 36% 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, 2018 remained relatively flat, increasing $13,000 from the corresponding year-ago period.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $1.3 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $628,000, or $0.15 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

CEO Comments

Richard L. (''Rick'') Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, ''We are pleased with our first quarter results which include record breaking sales and pre-tax income. We continue to focus on meeting the needs of our existing medical device customers and we are well on the path to release a private-labeled thoracic driver to one of our significant customers later this fiscal year. During the first quarter, we changed our banking relationship for all of our treasury needs and borrowed $5 million on a seven-year term loan at an annual interest rate of 5.53%, as well as establishing a $2 million revolving loan, which we have not drawn against. The capital infusion provided by the debt was strategically executed at this juncture to facilitate better terms and to provide us with flexibility to quickly respond to business opportunities that may arise.''
