For Immediate Release
PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2017 SECOND
QUARTER
AND SIX-MONTH RESULTS
IRVINE, CA, February 9, 2017 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 second quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Sale of OMS Division
As recently disclosed in a Form 8-K and related press release, we sold our Oregon Micro Systems (“OMS”) division to the division’s long-time general manager on January 27, 2017. The gain on the sale of approximately $0.3 million will be recorded during our third quarter of fiscal 2017. As required by the accounting guidance, we have prepared the second quarter financial statements with the OMS division reflected as a discontinued operation, which impacts all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements below.
Quarter Ended December 31, 2016
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2016 decreased $632,000, or 12%, to $4.6 million from $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, due to continued declining sales of our legacy dental products as well as reduced repair revenue.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2016 decreased $114,000, or 8%, to $1.3 million from $1.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2015. Although the gross profit declined during the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, the gross margin percentage increased by 1 percentage point to 28% from 27%. The increase in margin is reflective of cost-cutting measures that were implemented during the quarter.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased $103,000 or 11%, to $1.0 million compared to the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter, reflecting primarily increased legal expenses in support of ongoing litigation related to our former investment in real property located in Ramsey, Minnesota as described more fully in our Form 10-Q.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased by $2.7 million to $3.1 million, compared to $481,000 in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2016. This increase reflects our income tax benefit of $2.9 million due to the release of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets because we have reassessed our valuation allowance and believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient levels of future profitability to realize substantially all of our deferred tax assets. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $3.2 million, or $0.78 per share, compared to $391,000, or $0.09 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2016.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2015
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased $705,000, or 8%, to $9.7 million from $9.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, due primarily to increases in medical device product revenues offset by reduced repair revenue and legacy dental product sales. We expect our repair revenue for the balance of fiscal 2017 to be lower than the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year because many of our products are relatively new and more repairs are covered under warranty than in the previous periods.
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased $0.4 million, or 17% compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. The gross profit increase is due to increased net sales of 8% as well as improved margins due to our investment in machinery and equipment.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased 14% to $2.2 million from $1.9 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period, reflecting primarily increased general and administrative expenses mostly related to our ongoing litigation related to our former investment in real property located in Ramsey, Minnesota as well as increased research and development costs relating to internal projects.
Income from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $3.4 million, compared to $408,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 2016. This increase also reflects the tax benefit recorded in the second quarter due to the release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $3.5 million or $0.85 per share, compared to $265,000, or $0.07 per share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2016.
CEO Comments
Richard L. (“Rick”) Van Kirk, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date results and we are pleased to have announced the sale of our OMS division. The capital infusion will be used for certain internal R&D efforts that we expect will further enhance our line of surgical drivers. We look forward to continuing our momentum this fiscal year.”
