Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Results

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2023 / PRO-DEX, INC. (NASDAQ:PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 first quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased $851,000, or 8%, to $11.9 million from $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is driven primarily by $1.8 million in increased repairs of the surgical handpiece we sell to our largest customer offset primarily by a decrease of $0.7 million in sales of our NRE & proto-type offerings.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased $702,000, or 24%, compared to the year-ago period. Gross margin increased by 4 percentage points to 31% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 27% during the corresponding year-ago period, due primarily to the prior year cost of sales including approximately $450,000 in repair costs to upgrade the handpiece we sell our largest customer at no additional costs. We had no similar expenses in the current fiscal year.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, decreased $181,000 from the corresponding year-ago period. The decrease resulted from decreased research and development expenses as we have fewer expenses related to internal development projects in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $615,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Our net loss includes non-operating expense of $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, consisting primarily of unrealized losses on investments of $2.6 million. Most of the unrealized loss on investments relates to our Warrant to purchase common stock of Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (NasdaqCM: MGRM), which had a $2.5 million reduction in estimated fair value for the first quarter ended September 30, 2023, but still has an estimated fair value of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.

CEO Comments

Richard L. ("Rick") Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our first quarter results and excited to share that sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2023, includes approximately $1.1 million related to the launch of a new product in our Thoracic driver product line." Mr. Van Kirk concluded, "We are confident that with our assembly and repairs operations fully transitioned to the Franklin facility we are poised for continued long-term growth."
