EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—January 19, 2011—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2010.
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 20% to $7.96 million from $6.62 million in the prior-year quarter.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, total revenue increased 15% to $23.0 million from $20.0 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase was due to a 21% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 6% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $9.69 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, compared to $8.40 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
