First Half Net Income $0.11 Per Diluted Share
Trio-Tech International TRT today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019.
Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, revenue decreased 8% to $9,690,000 compared to revenue of $10,552,000 for the same quarter last year. Manufacturing revenue was $3,352,000, a 16% decline compared to $3,973,000 for the same quarter last year. Semiconductor testing services revenue was $4,393,000, an 11% decline compared to $4,936,000 in the same quarter last year. Distribution revenue was $1,916,000, a 19% increase compared to $1,606,000 for the same quarter last year.
Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $2,258,000, or 23% of revenue, compared to $2,795,000, or 26% of revenue, for the same quarter last year, reflecting lower sales and a less favorable product mix in manufacturing and testing services.
Operating expenses declined 3% to $2,031,000, or 21% of revenue, from $2,097,000, or 20% of revenue, primarily due to reduced selling expenses.
Net income attributable to Trio-Tech common shareholders for the fiscal 2019 second quarter was $348,000, or $0.09 per diluted share. This compares to net income attributable to Trio-Tech common shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 of $673,000, or $0.18 per diluted share.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 benefitted from adjustments related to the finalization of the One-Time Mandatory Repatriation Tax expense of $900,000 which was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Upon finalization of the accounting analysis, Trio-Tech recorded a reversal of $145,000 from provision of income tax to reduce the tax liability related to the one-time transition tax to $755,000. This estimated tax is payable over a period of eight years at no interest and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's working capital position.
CEO Comments
S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "We are glad to report higher profitability for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the year's first quarter and are working diligently to improve the Company's financial performance in the second half of fiscal 2019. Our state-of-the-art products and services, in many cases, are available only from Trio-Tech. Based on customer inquiries and follow-up meetings, we believe Trio-Tech has a competitive advantage in today's complex and increasingly competitive semiconductor manufacturing and testing environment."
