Dynatronics Announces Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results

COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah, May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynatronics Corporation (NASDAQ: DYNT) today announced financial and operating results for its fiscal 2016 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2016.

Net sales for the quarter were $7.4 million, a 10.7 percent increase compared to $6.7 million in the same period of the prior year. Gross profit for the quarter increased 13.4 percent representing 33.6 percent of sales, compared to 32.8 percent of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, reflecting a greater proportion of sales of proprietary therapeutic products which carry higher-than-average margins.  In addition, improved rates negotiated with freight carriers helped increase gross margin as a percentage of sales. 

"Our growth initiatives implemented last fall continue to drive significant organic growth," commented Kelvyn H. Cullimore Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "Our sales team again delivered double-digit growth in sales of our top-selling SolarisPlus product line. In addition, we saw an increase in large orders related to custom wood products for sports teams as well as more new clinic openings and expansions which helped boost sales in the quarter."

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, were $22.3 million, a 5.0 percent increase compared to $21.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Gross margin for the nine-month period improved to 34.4 percent, compared to 34.1 percent for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015. 

"We are focused on growing sales both domestically and internationally and are implementing a plan to strategically and tactically expand our distribution across North America and into international territories," said Jeff Gephart, Sr. VP of Sales.  "To that end, we are planning to bolster our sales management team with key new hires and are pursuing regulatory approvals in selected foreign countries such as China and Mexico."   

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $451,000, compared to $208,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $531,000, compared to $208,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $757,000, compared to $301,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $998,000 compared to $301,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Net loss applicable to common shareholders recognizes the accrued dividends on preferred stock during the current quarter and nine-month periods, which totaled approximately $80,500 and $242,000, respectively and was payable in common stock.

"Our increased loss for the quarter over last quarter in spite of higher sales and gross profit is a reflection of the implementation of our organic growth strategy plans as well as our M&A strategy which is focused on acquiring businesses that simultaneously fit our criteria and enhance our product offering," added Cullimore.
