NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We develop and sell devices that use spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain disclosures have been omitted as allowed, and the Notes to Financial Statements have been condensed as permitted. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and Notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
Significant accounting policies
A description of our significant accounting policies and estimates is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies.
NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
There were no additions to the new accounting standards not yet adopted as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
We do not expect the adoption of accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date to have a material impact on our financial statements when they are adopted.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each period. Net income per diluted share amounts assume exercise of all stock options. The following tables show the components of diluted shares:
| Quarter Ended June 30, | ||

None of the securities were impaired at acquisition, and subsequent declines in fair value are attributable to interest rate increases. We do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The issuers continue to make timely interest payments on these securities. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did not record any impairment attributable to credit losses.
None of the marketable securities purchased during the period had experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since its origination and were therefore not considered “Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration.”
Unrealized losses on our marketable securities and their tax effects are as follows:

Some of the statements made in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report and in other materials filed or to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well as information included in verbal or written statements made by us constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue, or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.

We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to risks related to our reliance on several large customers for a significant percentage of revenue, our dependence on critical suppliers and packaging vendors, uncertainties related to the economic environments in the industries we serve, uncertainties related to future sales and revenues, risks of credit losses, risks and uncertainties related to future stock repurchases and dividend payments, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report.
Further information regarding our risks and uncertainties is contained in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the first quarter of fiscal 2025) decreased 23% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the first quarter of fiscal 2024). The decrease was due to a 24% decrease in product sales, partially offset by a 28% increase in contract research and development revenue. The decrease in product sales was due to decreased purchases by existing customers. The increase in contract research and development revenue was due to new contracts.
Gross margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 86%, compared to 77% the prior-year quarter. The increase in gross margin percentage was due to a more profitable product mix and a larger portion of direct rather than distributor sales.
Total expenses increased 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due to a 26% increase in research and development expense and a 14% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense, partially offset by a $212,440 decrease in credit loss expense. The increase in research and development expense was due to increased new product development activities. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing activities. The decrease in credit loss expense was due to a favorable change in our estimate of expected credit losses as of June 30, 2024.
Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 13% due to higher yields on securities purchased after June 30, 2023.
Our effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes, decreased to 16% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 24% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was due to changes in the timing and amounts of federal tax credits and deductions.
The 7% decrease in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to decreased revenue, partially offset by increased gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue, increased interest income, and a lower effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash and cash equivalents were $6,005,492 as of June 30, 2024, compared to $10,283,550 as of March 31, 2024. The $4,278,058 decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was due to $4,833,676 of cash used in financing activities and $5,296,774 of net cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $5,852,392 in net cash provided by operating activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities related to product sales and research and development contract revenue was our primary source of working capital for the current and prior-year quarters. Net cash provided by operating activities increased 16% to $5,852,392 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $5,025,302 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Accounts receivable decreased $1,044,815 during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to decreased revenue and the timing of customer payments.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $614,188 primarily due to increased federal income tax liability and changes in the timing of estimated tax payments.

Cash used by investing activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, consisted of $6,580,140 of marketable securities purchases and $916,634 of fixed asset purchases, partially offset by $2,200,000 in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. Fixed asset purchases consisted of a $916,634 down payment on production equipment expected to be delivered in fiscal 2026. We plan to significantly increase fixed asset purchases in fiscal 2025 and 2026 compared to fiscal 2024 to support increases in production capacity and new product development.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, consisted of $4,833,676 of cash dividends paid to shareholders.
In addition to cash dividends to shareholders paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, on July 17, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, or $4,833,676 based on shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, to be paid on August 30, 2024.
We plan to fund dividends through cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. All future dividends will be subject to Board approval and subject to the company’s results of operations, cash and marketable security balances, estimates of future cash requirements, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, dividends may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
