Trio-Tech Third Quarter Net Income Increased to $0.04 Per Share Versus $0.02
Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021.
Third Quarter Results
Revenue from the sale of Trio-Tech’s proprietary semiconductor testing and manufacturing equipment increased 24% to $3,130,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $2,519,000 for the same quarter last year, driven by higher orders from a number of customers at the Company’s Singapore facility. Third quarter revenue from semiconductor testing services decreased 6% to $3,504,000 from $3,741,000 for the same quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in demand from major customers. Revenue from the distribution of semiconductor manufacturing and testing equipment decreased 34% to $1,467,000 from $2,225,000 for the third quarter last year, reflecting generally lower customer demand. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 5% to $8,112,000 compared to $8,501,000 for the same quarter last year.
Despite the decline in overall revenue, an improved product mix helped to increase the overall gross margin to $2,060,000, or 25% of revenue, compared to $1,786,000, or 21% of revenue, for the same quarter last year.
General and administrative expenses increased 10% to $1,923,000 from $1,754,000 in the same quarter last year, primarily related to a higher stock compensation recorded, due to the increased volatility in our share price.
The loss from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $65,000, compared to $367,000 for the same quarter last year.
Other income of $273,000 for this year’s third quarter included $107,000 in governmental grants to offset the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other income of $440,000 for last year’s third quarter included similar grants of $263,000.
Net income attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $178,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $70,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
CEO Comments
S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "While the COVID-19 pandemic was primarily responsible for a very difficult first half of fiscal 2021 for Trio-Tech, and continued to affect our performance in the third quarter, the improvement in orders and gross margin in our manufacturing segment is an encouraging sign for the future. We are maintaining tight control over operating costs throughout the Company, but operating profitability will be largely dependent upon improvements in business conditions, which continue to remain uncertain. As we are monitoring the situation closely, we remain prepared to take further actions as required by local governments, or which we deem necessary, in the best interests of our employees, customers and stockholders."
Nine Months Results
For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, overall revenue decreased 15% to $23,154,000 compared to $27,286,000 for the same period last year. Manufacturing revenue increased 4% to $9,324,000 from $8,881,000, while testing services revenue declined 17% to $10,018,000 from $12,018,000. Distribution revenue decreased 40% to $3,790,000 compared to $6,338,000 for the same period of fiscal 2020.
Overall gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 decreased 8% to $5,448,000 from $5,943,000 last year, but increased as a percentage of revenue to 24% from 22% for the same period of fiscal 2020.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, general and administrative expenses decreased $74,000 to $5,245,000 from $5,319,000 for the same period of fiscal 2020, primarily due to the decrease in staff benefit cost related expenses as part of our cost-saving measures.
Selling expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 decreased $191,000 to $356,000, as compared to $547,000 in the same period of fiscal 2020, primarily due to the decline in traveling expenses incurred as a result of worldwide travel restrictions amid the pandemic.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, other income decreased to $531,000 from $1,576,000 for the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a non-recurring gain on the sale of assets of $1,172,000 in the same period last year.
Net income attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $405,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $769,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2021 was $26,921,000, or $6.88 per outstanding share, compared to $25,146,000, or $6.84 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2020. There were approximately 3,913,055 common shares outstanding at March 31, 2021.
