NVE Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results


EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq:NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 25% to $7.30 million from $5.82 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to a 38% increase in product sales partially offset by an 88% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 32% to $3.23 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $2.44 million, or $0.50 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, total revenue increased 1% to $13.5 million from $13.3 million for the first six months of the prior year. The increase was due to an 8% increase in product sales partially offset by a 73% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income was $5.80 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to $5.82 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the first half of fiscal 2013.

"We are pleased to report record product sales and record gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the quarter," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
