PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2022 THIRD QUARTER

AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS

IRVINE, CA, May 5, 2022 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.


Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $2.5 million, or 21%, to $9.3 million from $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due primarily to decreased sales of $2.8 million of our thoracic driver, which is as expected after a significant launch and fulfillment of our customer’s distribution network. While we expect future sales of this product, the revenue may not follow a consistent trajectory.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $1.5 million, or 35%, to $2.9 million from $4.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The gross profit decrease is related in part to procurement of long-lead time components for many of our printed circuit board assemblies at higher prices given the world-wide shortages of these parts. These components were necessary to support customer requirements. As an example, a component normally costing $5 each was available at only $70 each due to these shortages. Total non-standard component costs were approximately $340,000 for the third quarter. While this remains an issue, we are hopeful that the most challenging cost issues are behind us.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, decreased $683,000, or 27%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021 mostly due to reduced spending on internal product development projects as our engineering team focused more on billable customer projects.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $462,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2021. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, included $919,000 of combined realized and unrealized gains on our investment portfolio, while the quarter ended March 31, 2022, included unrealized losses of $275,000.

Nine Months Ended March31, 2022

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, increased $832,000, or 3%, to $29.4 million from $28.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, due to increased billable non-recurring engineering projects and despite the above mentioned component challenges.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, decreased $767,000, or 7%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. The gross profit decline for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, is similarly due to the supply chain issues mentioned above.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, decreased 12% to $5.7 million from $6.5 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period, mostly due to reduced spending on internal product development projects and reduced selling expenses offset by increased general and administrative expenses due to non-cash stock based compensation expense.

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.5 million, or $0.65, per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2021. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, included $2.2 million of combined realized and unrealized gains on our investment portfolio, while the nine months ended March 31, 2022, included unrealized losses of $427,000.


CEO Comments

“As disclosed in our second quarter earnings release, we knew that we were facing supply chain challenges related to component shortages and we are pleased that while this quarter did not set any records, we were able to meet our customers’ expectations and report profitable results during this challenging period,” said the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer Richard L. (“Rick”) Van Kirk. “While we are still sourcing parts that have proven difficult and costly to obtain, we have successfully navigated these sourcing challenges. We are looking forward to a good fourth quarter and we are tracking toward record sales for the fiscal year from a revenue perspective as we have a healthy backlog and have secured the components we need. We also have absorbed much of the additional component costs in our third quarter. We remain optimistic going forward as we have a healthy pipeline and the additional capacity our new building provides.
