Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

September 15, 2016 4:05 PM EDT

IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/15/16 -- Pro-Dex, Inc. (NASDAQ: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and full-year ended June 30, 2016.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.2 million, or 29%, to $5.3 million from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to increased medical device sales, especially in the orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial ("CMF") surgical segments. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $311,000, or 27%, to $1.4 million from $1.1 million for the same period in 2015. Contributing to this increase was the increase in sales volume, described above.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 17% to $1.2 million from $1.1 million in the prior year's corresponding quarter, reflecting primarily our increase in research and development costs as we have increased our personnel in support of our increased medical device products and ongoing engineering development projects.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased by $116,000 to $189,000, compared to $73,000 in the corresponding quarter in 2015. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $189,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $73,000, or $0.02 per share, for the corresponding quarter in 2015.

Year Ended June 30, 2016

Net sales for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased $6.8 million, or 51%, to $20.1 million from $13.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to increases in medical device revenues. Specifically, our largest customer accounted for an increase of $4.5 million in revenue during the current fiscal year. Additionally, sales relating to two CMF surgical drivers which we developed to the unique specifications of our customers contributed to an increase in sales of $3.6 million. Offsetting these increases, sales to our former largest customer in the medical device segment decreased by approximately $3.0 million from $6.6 million to $3.6 million..

Gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.7 million, or 46%, to $5.4 million compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2015.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased 6% to $4.8 million from $4.6 million in the prior fiscal year, reflecting primarily the $245,000 impairment charge we recorded related to our Fineline Molds division as a result of our annual impairment test.

Income from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $822,000, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $402,000 for fiscal 2015. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $822,000, or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $365,000, or $0.09 per share, for fiscal 2015.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company provided $446,000 of cash in operating activities, compared to the use of $775,000 of cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2015. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to our return to profitability and is offset by reduced trade related payables which had accumulated at June 30, 2015, due to inventory purchases in anticipation of new product releases. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we also liquidated our investment in the Riverside property and related notes receivable and collected $2.0 million as a result of that liquidation and recorded a gain related to the liquidation in the amount of $340,000.

In June 2016, we received a contractual commitment from our largest customer to deliver 1,800 surgical handpieces in both calendar 2017 and 2018. This purchase commitment is valued at approximately $24 million and we expect to see increased sales and margins in the second half of fiscal 2017 as a result of beginning delivery on this order. During the first half of fiscal 2017, we will be delivering 500 handpieces to this same customer at a reduced sales price, which will consequently reduce margins.

CEO Comments

Richard L ("Rick") Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year operating results as we return to consistent profitability. We are also encouraged by the sales commitment from our largest customer, which will provide our production facility with a consistent base level of operations. We will also continue to focus efforts on completion of another product development project and continue to meet the needs of our growing customer base in the area of engineering and manufacturing expertise for handheld surgical devices for orthopedic, neurological and other applications. We anticipate another profitable year in fiscal 2017."
