Dynasil Corporation of America Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
- Company Hosts Conference Call at 5:00 p.m. (ET) Today
Watertown, MA, August 14, 2012–Dynasil Corporation of America (NASDAQ: DYSL), a leading developer of sensing, detection and analysis technology for homeland security, medical and industrial applications, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2012 third quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 2.2% to $12.4 million from $12.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Contract Research segment revenue grew to $6.6 million compared with $6.3 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenue from the Company’s Products and Technology segment was $5.9 million, essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2011.
“Our Contract Research business remained strong in the third quarter, as revenue increased 4.4% and we maintained a solid funded project backlog that extends into 2014,” said Peter Sulick, Dynasil’s Chairman and Interim CEO and President. “In addition, we are successfully broadening our Contract Research customer base by targeting new agencies and non-governmental opportunities. Our Products and Technology revenue has remained steady throughout the year as we complete our product refresh activities and continue development of our dual mode detector technology.”
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2012 totaled $5.2 million, or 41.5% of net revenue, compared with $5.1 million, or 42.3% of revenue, for the same period of fiscal 2011.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled $5.2 million versus $4.9 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2011. This does, however, represent a decline of approximately $350,000 from the Company’s SG&A expenses in the second quarter of this year. Over the past 12 months, the Company has been incurring expense to refresh certain of its aging products within our Dynasil Products business, provide incentives to management, expand its intellectual property portfolio and invest in the biomedical initiative in Rochester, MN. The development work on the Dynasil Products refresh is largely complete and these products will be available for sale in 2013. The Company’s intellectual property portfolio has expanded from 40 issued, 3 provisional and 18 pending U.S. Patents as of June 30, 2011 to 43 issued, 25 provisional and 37 pending U.S. Patents as of June 30, 2012. There are a number of exciting activities within the biomedical initiative.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $48,130 or $0.00 per share, compared with net income of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which included approximately $1,045,000 in Research & Experimentation tax credits.
Recent Highlights
| · | $3 Million Financing Agreement:On July 31, 2012, Dynasil completed a $3 million subordinated note financing with Massachusetts Capital Resource Company (MCRC) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement. Proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement were used to repay in full approximately $1.9 million in promissory notes issued in connection with a put right exercised by a former owner of RMD Instruments, LLC, which Dynasil acquired in 2008. The remaining $1.1 million of proceeds will be used for the Company’s working capital.
|
| · | Framework for collaborations with Mayo Clinic: Dynasil signed a technology collaboration agreement with Mayo Clinic, providing the framework under which the organizations intend to advance early-stage innovations to patented products for therapeutic applications. Their first collaborative project focuses on a therapeutic hypothermia core cooling technology designed to protect the brain during cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury. |
“We believe that our biomedical technologies may have significant commercial potential, and our goal is to monetize the most promising opportunities,” Sulick said. “Toward that end, we have filed provisional patents for certain technologies and have begun exploring the possibility of spinning out at least one of these technologies into an independent entity. Our goal would be to maintain a substantial interest in the entity while bringing in complementary expertise to advance the technologies to market.”
