IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2019 / PRO-DEX, INC. (NASDAQ: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2019 second quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2018

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased $839,000, or 15%, to $6.4 million from $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, due to increased sales of our medical device products to our largest customer.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased $532,000, or 31%, to $2.2 million from $1.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2018, due to the increase in sales described above and our ability to better absorb and maintain the level of our fixed manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 decreased $311,000, or 23%, to $1.1 million compared to the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter, due to the prior year impairment of our Fineline goodwill and intangible assets in the amount of $229,000.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $1.2 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $345,000, or $0.08 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2018.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2018

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased $2.6 million, or 24%, to $13.3 million from $10.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, due primarily to increases in medical device product revenues. We are continuing to focus both our research and development efforts and our business development efforts on our medical device product offerings and sales related to other ancillary products have decreased.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased $1.4 million, or 39%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. The gross profit increase is due to increased net sales of 24%, as well as improved margins due to better absorption of our fixed manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2018 decreased 13% to $2.1 million from $2.4 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period, reflecting primarily the prior year goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge as described above.

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was $2.5 million, or $0.59 per share, compared to $973,000, or $0.23 per share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2018.

("Rick") Van Kirk, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date results and to share our current product development plans as detailed below."

Finally," concluded Mr. Van Kirk, "we are pleased to announce that on February 4, 2019, the customer with whom we entered into a development contract in early fiscal 2019, executed a material procurement authorization in the amount of $3.4 million to support production orders for the private-labeled thoracic driver and related accessories, which we expect to ship in calendar 2019."
