For Immediate Release

PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2024 THIRD QUARTER

AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS

IRVINE,CA, May 2, 2024 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 third quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.


Quarter Ended March 31,2024

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $1.2 million, or 9%, to $14.3 million from $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due primarily to an increase in medical device product revenue of $2.8 million offset by a decrease in non-recurring engineering and repair revenue of $736,000 and $635,000 respectively.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $191,000, or 5%, to $4.0 million from $3.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. While the gross profit increase is consistent with our increase in net sales, its percentage increase is comparatively lower than the percentage increase in net sales in part due to the mix of revenue generated in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, increased slightly, by 2%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023 mostly due to increased research and development costs.

Our operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, increased $148,000, or 7%, to $2.2 million compared to $2.1 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 March 31, 2024, was $655,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2023. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, contains unrealized losses on our marketable equity investments of $1.2 million while our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $242,000. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.

Nine Months EndedMarch 31, 2024

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, increased $3.4 million, or 10%, to $38.8 million from $35.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in sales relates to a $2.3 million increase in repair revenue related to the enhanced repair program we began last fiscal year to refurbish the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer, as well as an increase of $1.9 million in sales of new units to that same customer, and an increase in thoracic driver sales of $1.6 million offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in non-recurring engineering revenue and a decrease of $567,000 in CMF driver sales.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, increased $1.1 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. The gross profit increase is consistent with the increase in revenue for the same period.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, increased 8% to $5.6 million from $5.2 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period, due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and research and development costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Our operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, increased $670,000, or 16%, to $4.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income is attributable to higher sales and gross profit offset by the higher operating expenses described above.

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was $540,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $5.6 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2023. Our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, contains unrealized losses on our marketable equity investments of $3.8 million and our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $3.4 million. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.
