Van Nuys, CA – February 11, 2021 -- Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021.
 
Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, revenue decreased 9% to $8,201,000 compared to revenue of $8,962,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Manufacturing revenue increased 17% to $3,569,000 compared to $3,045,000 a year earlier. Semiconductor testing services revenue decreased 8% to $3,560,000 compared to $3,887,000 last year. Distribution revenue decreased 47% to $1,065,000 compared to $2,014,000 for the comparable quarter last year.
Higher margins in manufacturing and distribution increased overall gross margin to 23% of revenue, or $1,870,000, for the second quarter fiscal 2021 compared to 21% of revenue, or $1,905,000, for the same quarter last year.
Operating expenses decreased 8% to $1,907,000, or 23% of revenue, compared to $2,078,000, or 23% of revenue, for last year’s second quarter. The loss from operations for this year’s second quarter was $37,000, compared to a loss from operations a year earlier of $173,000.
Other income for the second quarter was $143,000, which included government assistance to Singapore and Malaysia operations totaling $101,000 to mitigate the adverse business impact of the pandemic. In the same quarter last year, other income was $40,000.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $235,000, or $0.06 per diluted share. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 of $426,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, benefitted from a one-time gain of $1,172,000 related to the sale of assets held for sale.
Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2020 was $26,548,000, or $7.15 per outstanding share, compared to $25,146,000, or $6.84 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2020. There were approximately 3,710,555 Trio-Tech International common shares outstanding at December 31, 2020.
 
CEO Comments
S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "We delivered better gross margins and lower expenses in the second quarter, contributing to a sharp improvement in our operating performance compared to the same quarter last year. We also delivered a sequential improvement in top and bottom-line results compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as our order rate trended higher, which is another encouraging sign. Despite our reassuring strong balance sheet and successful control of operating expenses, we continue to be cautious about our business, as the economic effects of the Covid pandemic continue."
