EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Jan. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq:NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012.
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 6% to $6.53 million from $6.16 million in the prior-year quarter. The revenue increase was due to a 7% increase in product sales. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 27% to $2.90 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $2.29 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, total revenue decreased 6% to $19.8 million from $21.0 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease was due to a 40% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $8.72 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, compared to $8.28 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
"We are pleased to report a 27% increase in net income for the quarter driven by increased product sales and increased gross margin as a percentage of revenue," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
