RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2022 NET INCOME OF $2.9 MILLION AND DECLARES QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND

 

Seventh Consecutive Quarter of Sequential Revenue Growth; All Business Units Grow Versus Third Quarter FY21

Third Quarter Highlights

 

Net sales of $55.3 million were up 22.3% from last year’s third quarter.

 

Sales increased for PMT, Canvys and Healthcare in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

Backlog increased to $175.6 million in the third quarter versus $146.9 million at the end of the second quarter and $98.7 million at the end of the third quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Gross margin was 31.8% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus 34.9% of net sales in the prior year’s third quarter primarily due to product mix and higher global freight costs.

 

Operating expenses decreased $1.6 million to $13.9 million compared to the prior year’s third quarter. This decrease was due to the non-recurrence of a $1.6 million legal settlement in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

Operating income was $3.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to an operating income of $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

Earnings per common share (diluted) were $0.21 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $0.02 per common share (diluted) in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

Cash and investments were $39.1 million as of February 26, 2022 versus $39.7 million on November 27, 2021.

 

LaFox, IL, APRIL 6, 2022: Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended February 26, 2022. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share quarterly cash dividend.

 

“In our third quarter of fiscal 2022, we produced our seventh consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth,” said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. “With continued growth in our backlog in all three business units, and new customers expressing interest in our growing range of engineered solutions, we remain confident that in spite of the challenging economic environment, fiscal year 2022 will finish with strong sales and improved profitability.”

 


 

Third Quarter Results

 

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 22.3% to $55.3 million compared to net sales of $45.2 million in the prior year’s third quarter due to higher net sales across all three business units. PMT sales increased $8.8 million or 25.0% from last year’s third quarter. Demand within PMT was driven by strong growth from new Power and Microwave Technology partners for various applications including Power Management and 5G infrastructure, as well as increasing shipments of our patented ULTRA3000. In addition, sales for several electron tube product lines, including semiconductor wafer fabrication, increased from the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Canvys sales increased by $1.1 million or 15.0% due to strong customer demand in North America and Europe. Richardson Healthcare sales increased $0.2 million or 7.4% primarily due to an increase in parts sales and an increase in demand for the ALTA750TM Tubes.

 

Gross margin was 31.8% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 34.9% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. PMT margin decreased to 32.2% from 34.9% primarily due to product mix. Canvys margin as a percent of net sales decreased to 32.2% from 35.2% because of higher global freight costs. Healthcare gross margin was 25.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 33.0% in the prior year’s third quarter due to an increase in component scrap expense and rising freight costs.

 

Operating expenses were $13.9 million compared to $15.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from the non-recurrence of a $1.6 million legal settlement in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition, lower legal fees were offset by higher employee compensation expenses.

 

The Company reported operating income of $3.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to an operating income of $0.3 million in the prior year’s third quarter. Other expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, including interest income and foreign exchange, were $0.1 million, compared to other expenses of less than $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

The income tax provision of $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 reflected a provision for foreign income taxes and the offset of a U.S. tax provision against the valuation allowance. In addition, state income taxes for Illinois increased due to the suspension of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) until the end of fiscal 2023. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $2.9 million compared to net income of $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Earnings per common share (diluted) were $0.21 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $0.02 per common share (diluted) in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

Cash and investments at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $39.1 million compared to $39.7 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and $47.4 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company continues to invest in inventory and working capital to support its growth initiatives as well as, $0.6 million during the quarter on capital expenditures primarily related to its Healthcare and manufacturing businesses as well as its IT System, versus $0.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

 

FINANCIAL SUMMARY – NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 26, 2022

 

 

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were $163.0 million, an increase of 28.9%, compared to net sales of $126.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

Gross profit increased to $51.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared to $42.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased to 31.6% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared to 33.6% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, primarily because of product mix in PMT and higher global freight costs in Canvys, partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies for Healthcare.

 

Operating expenses decreased to $40.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared to $41.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from the non-recurrence of a $1.6 million legal settlement in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and lower legal fees, partially offset by higher employee compensation expenses.

 

Operating income during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $11.0 million, compared to an operating income of $0.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.

The income tax provision of $1.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 reflected a provision for foreign income taxes and the offset of a U.S. tax provision against the valuation allowance. In addition, state income taxes for Illinois increased due to the suspension of NOLs until the end of fiscal 2023.

 

Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $9.6 million, versus a net loss of $0.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
