Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter and Six-Month Results

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2024 / PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM:PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 second quarter ended December 31, 2023. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2023

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $1.3 million, or 12%, to $12.6 million from $11.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, due primarily to an increase in repair revenue related to the orthopedic surgical handpiece that we sell to our largest customer. As previously disclosed, we began an enhanced repair program in the prior fiscal year to upgrade our customer's handpieces to the most current revision.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $179,000, or 7%, to $2.8 million from $2.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. The improvement in gross margin is primarily because we have seen a reduction in the requirement for us to supply components to our suppliers for our printed circuit board assemblies.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 increased $539,000, or 36%, to $2.0 million compared to $1.5 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter, reflecting in part the reduced number of billable engineering projects in the current fiscal quarter compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year and increased general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher professional fees related to audit and valuation services.

Our operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, decreased $360,000, or 32%, to $777,000 compared to $1.1 million for the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter. Although sales and gross profit have increased, as described above, our operating expenses have increased at a higher rate.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $500,000 or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2023. Our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, contains unrealized losses on our marketable equity investments of $40,000 while our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $2.7 million. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2023

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2023, increased $2.2 million, or 10%, to $24.5 million from $22.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, due primarily to increased repair revenue from the orthopedic surgical handpiece that we sell to our largest customer as well as the launch of our second thoracic driver, offset by decreased non-recurring engineering and proto-type revenue.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2023, increased $882,000, or 16%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023 due to a decline in the requirement for us to source components at elevated prices on behalf of our suppliers in order to meet delivery requirements of our customers, which we believe was a temporary COVID related disruption that impacted our business.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2023, increased $359,000, or 10%, to $3.9 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period. The increase is related to increased research and development costs due to fewer billable projects in the current fiscal year than the prior fiscal year as well as higher general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher professional fees mostly related to audit and valuation services.

Our operating income for six months ended December 31, 2023, increased $523,000, or 25%, to $2.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income is attributable to higher sales and gross profit offset by the higher operating expenses described above.

Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2023, was $115,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $1.08 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2022. Our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2023, contains unrealized losses on our marketable equity investments of $2.6 million and our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2022, contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $3.2 million. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.
