EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Compared to the immediately-prior quarter ended March 31, 2016, product sales increased 12% sequentially, total revenue increased 10%, and net income increased 20%.
Compared to prior-year quarter ended June 30, 2015, total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 19% to $6.71 million from $8.32 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to a 24% decrease in product sales, partially offset by a 46% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 18% to $3.13 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $3.80 million, or $0.78 per share, for the prior-year quarter.
The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable August 31, 2016 to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2016.
“We are pleased to report our second consecutive sequential quarterly increases in product sales, total revenue, and net income,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
