NVE Corporation Reports First Quarter Results


EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq:NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 13% to $8.21 million from $7.24 million in the prior-year quarter. The revenue increase was due to a 13% increase in product sales and a 14% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 11% to $3.44 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $3.10 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.

"We are pleased to report strong earnings for the quarter, driven by record product sales and total revenue," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
