EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq:NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased 17% to $6.18 million from $7.46 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a 15% decrease in product sales. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased 24% to $2.57 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $3.38 million, or $0.69 per share, for the prior-year quarter.
"We are reporting strong earnings for the quarter and record gross margin as a percentage of revenue, despite revenue decreases," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
