PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2025 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
IRVINE, CA, October 31, 2024 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 first quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Quarter Ended September 30, 2024
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $3.0 million, or 25%, to $14.9 million from $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is driven primarily by $1.1 million in increased repairs of the surgical handpiece we sell to our largest customer as well as the shipment of that customer's next generation handpiece to satisfy its limited market release.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $1.5 million, or 41%, compared to the year-ago period. Gross margin increased by 4 percentage points to 35% during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 31% during the corresponding year-ago period, due primarily to a favorable product mix.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, increased $312,000, or 17%, to $2.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding quarter in 2023. The increase relates primarily to increased general and administrative expenses relating to higher personnel costs and higher bonus accruals.
Our operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, increased $1.2 million or 64%, to $3.0 million compared to $1.8 million for the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter. The increase reflects our increased sales and gross profit, as described above.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, increased to $2.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $615,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Our net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $433,000 while our net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, includes unrealized losses on investments of $2.6 million. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the period-to-period 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 have facilitated the initial shipment of the next generation handpiece to our largest customer." Mr. Van Kirk concluded, "We expect to ship production volumes of the new handpiece during the second half of this fiscal year."
