NVE Corporation

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Jan. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 18% to $7.40 million from $6.29 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to a 22% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 46% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 22% to $4.23 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $3.47 million, or $0.72 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2023, total revenue increased 26% to $25.5 million from $20.3 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase was due to a 27% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 13% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income increased 35% to $14.5 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, from $10.7 million, or $2.21 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable February 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of January 30, 2023.

“We are pleased to report strong revenue and earnings growth for the quarter and nine months,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
