Trio-Tech
Reports Second Quarter
Net
Income of $0.11 Per Diluted Share
First Half Net Income of $0.19 Per Diluted Share
Van Nuys, CA – February 13, 2020
-- Trio-Tech International (NYSE
MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 2020.
Fiscal
2020 Second Quarter Results
For the
three months ended December 31, 2019, net income increased 23% to
$426,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $348,000, or
$0.09 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Net
income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 included a $1,172,000
gain on the sale of assets held for sale. There were no
corresponding gains in the same period last year.
Revenue
for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 8% to $8,962,000
compared to revenue of $9,690,000 for the same quarter last year.
Manufacturing revenue was $3,045,000, a 9% decrease compared to
$3,352,000 a year earlier. Semiconductor testing services revenue
decreased 12% to $3,887,000 compared to $4,393,000 last year.
Distribution revenue increased 5% to $2,014,000 compared to
$1,916,000 for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2019.
Gross
margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1,905,000, or 21%
of revenue. This compares to gross margin of $2,258,000, or 23% of
revenue, for the same quarter last year, reflecting lower
manufacturing and testing services sales.
Operating expenses
increased 3% to $2,078,000, or 23% of revenue, for this
year’s second quarter compared to $2,031,000, or 21% of
revenue, last year. Operating expenses increased primarily due to a
doubtful debt provision in the Singapore manufacturing
segment.
CEO
Comments
S.W.
Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "While we are pleased to report an
increase in net income for the second quarter and first half of
fiscal 2020 primarily driven by asset sales, our operating results
continued to be affected by trade disputes as well as customer
requests for delayed deliveries. As always, we are focused on
delivering unparalleled customer service and the highest quality
products to our customers as we strive to improve Trio-Tech’s
operating performance.”
Fiscal
2020 First Half Results
For the
six months ended December 31, 2019, net income increased 69% to
$699,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, which included the $1,172,000
gain on the sale of assets held for sale. This compares to net
income of $413,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the six months
ended December 31, 2018.

following factors, among others, could cause actual results to

technologies and volatility in the semiconductor industry, which
could affect demand for the Company's products and services; the
impact of competition; problems with technology; product
development schedules; delivery schedules; changes in military or
commercial testing specifications which could affect the market for
the Company's products and services; difficulties in profitably
integrating acquired businesses, if any, into the Company; risks
associated with conducting business internationally and especially

restrictions, local laws and restrictions and possible social,
political and economic instability; changes in U.S. and global
financial and equity markets, including market disruptions and
significant interest rate fluctuations; the trade tension between
U.S. and China; public health issues related to the 2019-Novel
