Pro-Dex, Inc. Announces Fiscal Second Quarter and Six Month Results
Revenues Up 6% and Operating Profit Up 165% For Comparative Six-Month Periods
Company Announces New Credit Facility with Union Bank
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PRO-DEX, INC. (Nasdaq: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010.
Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 increased 8% to $6.2 million from $5.7 million for the corresponding quarter in 2009, resulting primarily from growth in sales of the Company's medical device products to its largest customer, and from growth in sales of dental products. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, sales increased 6% to $12.0 million from $11.3 million for the corresponding period in 2009, resulting from growth in sales of the Company's medical device and motion control products.
Operating income was $571,000 for the quarter, a 333% improvement from $132,000 in the corresponding 2009 period. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, operating income improved 165% to $977,000 from $369,000 for the corresponding six-month period in 2009.
Net income for the 2010 quarter was $401,000, or $0.12 per fully-diluted share, which represents a 31% decrease from net income of $580,000, or $0.18 per fully-diluted share, in the corresponding 2009 quarter which included recognition of deferred tax credits of $499,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net income was $743,000, a decrease of 3% from net income of $763,000 for the corresponding period in 2009 which included recognition of deferred tax credits of $494,000. The 2009 deferred tax credits were attributable to income tax benefits recognized in 2009 resulting from utilization of net operating loss carryovers.
Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 grew to $2.4 million, a 39% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $2.0 million, a 35% gross profit margin, for the year-ago period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales during this three-month period was due to a change in mix toward sales of medical device products with relatively higher margins, and to cost reductions. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, gross profit was $4.6 million, a 38% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit and margin of $3.9 million and 34%, respectively, for the corresponding six-month period in 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales during this six-month period was due to a change in mix toward sales of medical device and motion control products at relatively higher margins, and to cost reductions.
Mark Murphy, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with the results for the first half of fiscal 2011. Sales for both quarters in this period increased sequentially and year-over-year. This performance, combined with improved gross margins and control over operating expenses resulted in income from operations at significantly higher levels than in the corresponding periods of last year."
Bank Credit Facility
On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement with Union Bank that replaced its previously existing Wells Fargo Bank credit facility. The Union Bank facility consists of (a) a revolving credit line of up to $1.5 million based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories, (b) a non-revolving credit line of up to $350,000 for the acquisition of equipment, which will convert to a 3-year term loan in one year, unless sooner converted based on amounts borrowed under the line, and (c) a 3 1/2-year term loan that replaced the previously existing term loan with Wells Fargo Bank.
Mr. Murphy remarked, "Our new relationship with Union Bank gives us expanded credit capacity and is an important step in pursuit of our strategic objectives."
