Trio-Tech International TRT today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Third Quarter Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased 4% to $8,501,000 compared to $8,838,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Manufacturing revenue decreased 19% to $2,519,000 compared to $3,097,000 last year, as customers' uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have delayed certain orders. Testing services revenue decreased 6% to $3,741,000 from $3,989,000 for the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting the Malaysian government's effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by restricting the transportation of workers. Distribution revenue increased 29% to $2,225,000 from $1,727,000 for the third quarter last year.
Reflecting lower revenue and unusually high labor costs in China due to the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, gross margin decreased to $1,786,000, or 21% of revenue, for this year's third quarter from $2,174,000, or 25% of revenue, for the third quarter a year ago.
Operating expenses increased 5% to $2,153,000 from $2,051,000 for the third quarter last year, primarily due to a one-time impairment charge of $139,000 on obsolete testing services equipment.
The loss from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $367,000. This compares to an operating profit of $123,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Net income attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $70,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $683,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Net income for the third quarter of 2020 benefitted from $263,000 in other income, which included financial assistance received from local governments in Singapore and China to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
CEO Comments
S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented new operating procedures to enhance the safety of our employees and customers. Our Singapore and Malaysia operations have been classified as part of the global supply chain, but both are subject to social distancing requirements and manpower restriction that affect productivity and revenue. No one knows how long today's stringent safety measures will last. Accordingly, we continue to closely monitor developments everywhere we operate, and will take additional precautionary steps if necessary to protect the interests of all Trio-Tech stakeholders and to protect the safety of our employees."
Nine Months Results
For the first nine months of fiscal 2020 ended March 31, 2020, revenue decreased 5% to $27,286,000 compared to $28,573,000 for the same period last year. Manufacturing revenue declined 12% to $8,881,000 from $10,086,000, while testing services revenue declined 6% to $12,018,000 from $12,819,000. Distribution revenue increased 13% to $6,338,000 compared to $5,587,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Overall gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased 9% to $5,943,000, or 22% of revenue, from $6,533,000, or 23% of revenue, for the same period of fiscal 2019.
Operating expenses increased 3% to $6,261,000 from $6,060,000 for last year's first nine months, primarily the result of the impairment charge mentioned above. The operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $318,000, compared to an operating profit of $473,000 for the same period last year.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2020, other income increased to $1,576,000 from $655,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2019. This increase was mainly due to a non-recurring gain on the sale of assets of $1,172,000 compared to $685,000 for the same period last year, coupled with the government grants mentioned above.
Net income attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $769,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $1,096,000, or $0.29 per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2020 was $24,867,000, or $6.77 per outstanding share, compared to $24,861,000, or $6.77 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2019. There were approximately 3,673,055 common shares outstanding at March 31, 2020.
