NVE Corporation Reports First Quarter Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—July 17, 2019—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 11% to $6.29 million from $7.11 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to a 11% decrease in product sales and a 12% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Product sales decreased to $6.09 million from $6.87 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 9% to $3.61 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $3.95 million, or $0.81 per share, for the prior-year quarter.
The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable August 30, 2019 to shareholders of record as of July 29, 2019.
“We are pleased to report sequential revenue and net income growth, and we launched important new products the past quarter,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
