IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 4, 2021 / PRO-DEX, INC. (NASDAQ:PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2021 second quarter ended December 31, 2020. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2020
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased $304,000, or 4%, to $8.3 million from $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, due primarily to sales of our newest product, a thoracic driver, to an existing customer.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2020, decreased $268,000, or 9%, to $2.6 million from $2.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2020, due to under-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs and warranty accruals. Our under-absorbed fixed manufacturing costs increased during the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due in part to COVID-19 related paid absences in our machine shop, assembly, and quality operations that did not occur in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 2020.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, increased $879,000, or 74%, to $2.1 million compared to $1.2 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding quarter, reflecting our planned investments in research and development, selling, and general and administrative expenses in an effort to release new products and garner new customer relationships.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, was $337,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2020.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2020
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2020, increased $1.6 million, or 11%, to $16.9 million from $15.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, due primarily to sales of our new thoracic driver.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2020, increased $427,000, or 8%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2020 due to the increase in sales described above.

Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2020, increased $1.5 million, or 61% to $4.0 million from $2.5 million in the prior fiscal year's corresponding period, reflecting our planned investments in research and development in an effort to release new products as well as increases in general and administrative expenses, in part due to expenses related to the new facility that we acquired in November, 2020, as we continue its build-out to ready it for our employees.

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was $1.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal 2020.

CEO Comments
Richard L. ("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 our net sales growth." Mr. Van Kirk continued, "We believe this will be a year of transition, as we complete the build-out of our new building and continue to make investments in facilities, personnel, and engineering projects to expand our foundation and allow for continued growth."

The amount spent on projects under development as well as the estimated market launch date and estimated future annual revenue is summarized below (in thousands):
