Healthcare, PMG and Semiconductor Wafer Fab Revenues Grow Versus Q3 FY20; Higher ALTA750™ Tube Sales

Q3 and FY21 Highlights

  • Net sales of $45.2 million were up 18.3% from last year's third quarter and up 6.6% over the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Sales increased for Healthcare, PMG and Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Equipment products in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Gross margin improved to 34.9% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus 33.1% of net sales in the prior year's third quarter due to a favorable product mix.
  • Operating expenses increased $2.8 million to $15.5 million compared to the prior year's third quarter. This increase included a one-time cost of $1.6 million for a legal settlement with Varex Imaging Corporation. Richardson did not admit liability, but wanted to move forward selling its ALTA750™ tubes and avoid further legal expenses. Employee incentive expense also increased due to the substantially improved performance and legal fees increased by $0.3 million.
  • Operating income was $0.3 million and Non-GAAP operating income* was $1.9 million compared to an operating income of $11,000 in last year's third quarter.
  • Earnings per common share (diluted) was $0.02 and Non-GAAP earnings per common share (diluted)* was $0.14 for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Cash and investments were $47.4 million as of February 27, 2021 versus $46.0 million on November 28, 2020 and $43.9 million on February 29, 2020.

LAFOX, Ill., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. RELL today reported financial results for its third quarter ended February 27, 2021. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share quarterly cash dividend. 

Third Quarter Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 18.3% to $45.2 million compared to net sales of $38.2 million in the prior year's third quarter primarily due to higher net sales for Richardson Healthcare and PMT, partially offset by lower net sales for Canvys. Richardson Electronics is an "essential business" and continued operating its manufacturing and distribution businesses on a global basis throughout the COVID-19 pandemic under strict safety guidelines. Richardson Healthcare sales increased $0.9 million or 41.7% primarily due to an increase in demand for the ALTA750™ Tubes, reflecting the highest quantity sold in any quarter. In addition, pre-owned CT scanner sales increased in Latin America. PMT sales increased $6.2 million or 21.6% from last year's third quarter because of higher sales of semiconductor wafer fab equipment specialty products as well as power conversion and RF and microwave components. Power grid tube sales continued to be negatively impacted by the pandemic, however sales of certain product lines increased from the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Canvys sales decreased by $0.1 million or 1.7% due to temporary decreased customer demand in Europe related to COVID-19, partially offset by an increase in North American sales. No customers were lost.

Gross margin improved to 34.9% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 33.1% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. PMT margin increased to 34.9% from 32.8% due to a favorable product mix. Canvys margin as a percent of net sales increased to 35.2% from 32.8% also because of its product mix. Healthcare margin as a percent of net sales was 33.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 38.3% in the prior year's third quarter primarily due to a smaller percentage of replacement parts sales.

Operating expenses were $15.5 million and Non-GAAP operating expenses* were $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $12.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in Non-GAAP operating expenses resulted from higher employee compensation expense and legal fees, partially offset by lower travel expenses. Throughout the pandemic, the Company decided to support its employees through regular merit increases and incentive plans, and by avoiding layoffs or furloughs.

As a result, the Company reported an operating income of $0.3 million and Non-GAAP operating income* of $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to an operating income of $11,000 in the prior year's third quarter. Other expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, including interest income and foreign exchange, was less than $0.1 million, compared to other income of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

The income tax provision of $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 reflected a provision for foreign income taxes, which was lower than the prior year's third quarter, and the offset of a U.S. tax provision against the valuation allowance. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.2 million and Non-GAAP net income was $1.8 million* compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Earnings per common share (diluted) was $0.02 and Non-GAAP earnings per common share (diluted)* was $0.14 in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

"We are pleased with the double digit sales growth in Healthcare, PMG and semiconductor wafer fab equipment products, particularly considering the current global business environment and ongoing impact of COVID-19," said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. "The Richardson team deserves a lot of credit for delivering our best quarter since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 after adjusting for the one-time settlement cost," he concluded.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY – NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 27, 2021

  • Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 were $126.5 million, an increase of 6.7%, compared to net sales of $118.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

  • Gross margin increased to $42.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to $38.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased to 33.6% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to 32.3% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, primarily because of a favorable product mix in PMT and Canvys, as well as improved manufacturing efficiencies for PMT.
  • Operating expenses increased to $41.9 million and Non-GAAP operating expenses* to $40.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to $38.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

  • Operating income was $0.6 million and Non-GAAP operating income* was $2.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

  • The income tax provision of $0.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 reflected a provision for foreign income taxes, which was lower than in the prior year's first nine months, and the offset of a U.S. tax benefit against the valuation allowance.
  • Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $0.2 million and Non-GAAP net income* was $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included throughout this press release, the Company has provided information regarding "Non-GAAP net income," "Non-GAAP operating income," "Non-GAAP earnings per common share (diluted)" and "Non-GAAP operating expenses" (each, a Non-GAAP financial measure). These Non-GAAP financial measures exclude a one-time cost in connection with a legal settlement from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that the disclosure of these Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the Non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures in assessing the Company's financial performance by excluding a special item that is not indicative of the Company's core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company's continuing operating activities. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating performance. The Non-GAAP financial measures presented herein, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
