Trio-Tech Reports First Quarter Net Income

of $0.21 Per Share As Revenue Increased 17%

 

Van Nuys, CA -- November 10, 2022 – Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

 

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 17% to $11,939,000 compared to $10,171,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, highlighted by a 38% increase in testing services revenue.

 

Overall gross margin increased 14%, but declined to 30% of revenue compared to 31% of revenue in the same quarter last year, primarily related to lower margin product mix at testing services and manufacturing operations.

 

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $882,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to net income of $917,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the first quarter last year.

 

Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2022 decreased to $27,818,000, or $6.82 per outstanding share, compared to $28,002,000, or $6.88 per outstanding share at June 30, 2022. There were approximately 4,077,000 and 4,072,000 common shares outstanding at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

 

CEO Comments

S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, “Remarkable revenue growth in our testing services business was the key to another successful quarter for our company, and our manufacturing segment delivered modest revenue growth as well. With encouraging backlog and a strong balance sheet, including cash and short-term deposits of $12,257,000, or about $3.00 per outstanding share, we remain cautiously optimistic about Trio-Tech’s financial performance for fiscal 2023.”
