IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --PRO-DEX, INC. (Nasdaq: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 increased 3% to $5.8 million compared to $5.6 million for the corresponding quarter in fiscal year 2009, resulting from growth across a broad base of customers for medical and motion control products whose orders had been negatively impacted by the relatively slower economic climate in 2009. Operating income was $405,000 for the quarter, a 71% improvement from $237,000 in the corresponding 2009 period.
Net income for the 2010 quarter was $342,000, or $0.10 per fully-diluted share, which represents an 87% increase from net income of $183,000, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share, in the corresponding 2009 quarter.
Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 grew to $2.2 million, a 37% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $1.9 million, a 33% gross profit margin, for the year-ago period. These increases resulted from a larger percentage of the Company's sales consisting of its more profitable medical and motion control products.
Mark Murphy, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Fiscal 2011 has gotten off to a good start as we continued to perform well in all key areas. Sales increased both in sequential quarters and year-over-year, we maintained our gross margins at the improved levels achieved last year, and we held our operating expenses in check, all resulting in income from operations, before write-downs of intangible assets, for the sixth consecutive quarter."
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Pro-Dex generated an additional $381,000 of cash from operations, and had a cash balance at the end of the quarter of $2.5 million.
