Dynasil Corporation of America Reports Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results
Revenue increases $2.9 million year over year; Net Income rises $690,000
NEWTON, Mass., Dec. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynasil Corporation of America (NASDAQ: DYSL), a developer and manufacturer of optics and photonics products, optical detection and analysis technology and components for the homeland security, medical and industrial markets, today announced net income of $0.3 million and $0.04 per common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
"I'm happy to report increases in both revenue and net income for 2016 over the prior year," said CEO Peter Sulick. "Overall, revenue increased $3 million or 7% to $43.4 million in 2016. Our Optics segment revenue increased 9% year over year and operating income increased 82% over 2015. These increases are largely attributable to the previously announced three-year crystal component supply agreement at our U.K. subsidiary. Additionally, despite continued softness in funding of research across multiple federal agencies, our Contract Research segment revenue increased 5% year over year and operating income increased 11% over 2015."
Certain key metrics by segment for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are presented below:

"Over the last three years, as the result of changes in Federal government funding policies and budget cutbacks for research across Federal agencies, our Contract Research segment's revenue has generally stabilized at just under $20 million. We view this as very good news in an industry experiencing significant contractions," continued Mr. Sulick. "This is largely the result of our efforts to refocus this business to several key research areas, reflective of our core expertise in materials science. RMD's research focus is now more concentrated on important areas of radiation detection and related fields with fewer but larger and more collaborative projects. These changes have been driven by the needs and expressed interests of our government and commercial research clients."
"Xcede Technologies, Inc., our majority-owned subsidiary, raised $0.8 million of convertible notes in fiscal year 2016 from external investors, including certain officers and directors of the Company, to fund on-going development of its exciting tissue sealant technology," added Mr. Sulick. "And as we recently announced, in November 2016, Cook Biotech Inc. committed to manage the Xcede Patch first-in-human clinical study on behalf of Xcede in exchange for secured loan considerations of up to $1.5 million. In addition, Dynasil committed to invest $1.2 million of cash into Xcede over the next 18 months in the form of preferred stock. Contemporaneously, with the closing of these transactions, all $5.1 million in the existing convertible notes and accrued interest were converted into preferred stock of Xcede at a 20% discount to the price per share of the investments the Company has committed to make in Xcede in accordance with the provisions of the notes. This funding places Xcede on a development track to complete first-in-human trials within the next 18 months, with the possibility to launch a commercial product within the E.U. shortly thereafter."
Dynasil earned net income of $0.3 million in 2016 compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in 2015. Net income (loss) included net losses of approximately $2.1 million and $1.7 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, associated with research and start-up costs of Xcede Technologies, Inc. ("Xcede"). Because Dynasil has voting control of Xcede via its common stock ownership, it is required to be included in our consolidated net income for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2016, Dynasil owned 83% of Xcede's common stock, but as of December 1, 2016, approximately 59% of Xcede's outstanding equity was owned by Dynasil as a result of the conversion of the outstanding notes described above.
