PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2025 SECOND QUARTER

AND SIX-MONTH RESULTS

 

IRVINE, CA, January 30, 2025 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended December 31, 2024. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

 

Quarter Ended December 31, 2024

 

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $4.2 million, or 33%, to $16.8 million from $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the shipment of $3.1 million of our largest customer’s next generation orthopedic handpiece as well as an increase in repair revenue of $1.6 million similarly generated from our largest customer. As previously disclosed, we supported our largest customer’s limited market release quantities of their next generation end effector last fiscal quarter and this quarter we began production shipments. We anticipate that the third and fourth quarters will reflect increases in revenue compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due to the continued production shipments of this next generation handpiece.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $2.3 million, or 81%, to $5.1 million from $2.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. Gross margin increased by 8 percentage points to 30% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 22% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The improvement in gross margin is primarily due to increased sales and favorable product mix.

 

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, increased $355,000, or 18%, to $2.4 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter, reflecting increases in both research and development costs as well as general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher personnel related expenses.

 

Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.9 million, or 247%, to $2.7 million compared to $777,000 for the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter. The increase is attributable to higher sales and improved gross margins.

 

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was $2.0 million or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $500,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2024.

 

Six Months Ended December 31, 2024

 

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $7.2 million, or 29%, to $31.7 million from $24.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, due primarily to $4.7 million in shipments of the newest generation handpiece we sell our largest customer as well as $2.7 million in increased repair revenue from the orthopedic surgical handpiece that we sell to our largest customer.

 

 
 

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $3.8 million, or 58%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024 due to increased sales and favorable product mix. Our gross margin increased by 6 percentage points to 32% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 26% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $666,000, or 17%, to $4.5 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period. The increase is related to increased research and development costs and general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher personnel related expenses.

 

Operating income for six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $3.1 million, or 119%, to $5.7 million compared to $2.6 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 six months ended December 31, 2024, was $4.5 million or $1.33 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $115,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2024, contains unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments of $510,000 and our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2023, contained unrealized losses on our marketable equity investments of $2.6 million. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value, and the valuation can be highly volatile.

(“Rick”) Van Kirk, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are ramping up our staff to meet the commitments of our increased backlog.” Mr. Van Kirk continued, “We are excited about our continued sales growth and looking forward to the challenges ahead.”
