Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced
financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2019.
Third Quarter Results
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended March 31,
2019 was $683,000, or $0.19 per diluted share. This compares to a
net loss of $739,000, or $0.20 per share, for the third quarter of
fiscal 2018.
Net income for the fiscal 2019 third quarter benefitted from
$739,000 in other income, which included a gain of $685,000 on the
sale of assets previously held for sale. In comparison, other
income contributed a gain of $47,000 for last year’s third quarter.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 also was affected
by a one-time, non-cash income tax expense of $900,000 related to
the 2017 United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which requires a
mandatory one-time repatriation of certain earnings and profits of
the Company’s foreign subsidiaries previously deferred from U.S.
taxation. In the recent second quarter of fiscal 2019, there was a
reversal of $145,000 as this tax was finalized to $755,000.
Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 12% to
$8,838,000 from $10,104,000 for the same quarter last fiscal year.
Manufacturing revenue decreased 1% to $3,097,000 compared to
$3,124,000 in the third quarter of last fiscal year. Testing
services revenue declined 19% to $3,989,000 from $4,913,000 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to reduced demand from
a major customer during the quarter. Distribution revenue decreased
15% to $1,727,000 from $2,033,000 for the third quarter of last
fiscal year.
Reflecting the decrease in revenue, gross margin declined by 3%,
to $2,174,000 from $2,232,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018,
but improved as a percentage of revenue to 25% compared to 22% of
revenue for the third quarter of last fiscal year, due to
aggressive cost saving efforts at the Company’s Malaysia and China
operations.
Income from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was
$123,000 compared to $234,000 for the third quarter of fiscal
2018.
CEO Comments
S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "We delivered substantial net
income and improved gross margin as a percentage of revenue despite
lower sales for this year’s third quarter compared to the third
quarter last year. Our fiscal third quarter results are typically
affected by a slowdown in business activity partially related to
the Chinese New Year and festivities. We are working to increase
revenue and strive for better performance in the current
quarter."
Nine Months Results
For the first nine months of fiscal 2019 ended March 31, 2019,
revenue decreased 10% to $28,573,000 compared to $31,601,000 for
the same period last year. Manufacturing revenue declined 15% to
$10,086,000 from $11,862,000, and testing services revenue declined
11% to $12,819,000 from $14,454,000 in the same period last year.
Revenue for both business segments was affected by reduced demand
from a major customer. Distribution revenue increased 8% in the
first nine months of this fiscal year to $5,587,000 from $5,175,000
in the same period in the last fiscal year.
Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased
16% to $6,533,000, or 23% of revenue, to $7,787,000, or 25% of
revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
Net income for first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $1,096,000,
or $0.29 per diluted share. This compares to net income of
$509,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period last
year.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2019 was $24,567,000, or $6.69
per outstanding share, compared to $23,501,000, or $6.61 per
outstanding share, at June 30, 2018. There were approximately
3,673,055 common shares outstanding at March 31, 2019.
