Trio-Tech Reports Third Quarter Results and Announces Initial Contract for Its Dynamic HTOL Electric Vehicle Power Module Test System

Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2023, and announced its initial contract for its Dynamic HTOL Electric Vehicle Power Module Test System

Third Quarter Results

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter declined 12% to $9,842,000, compared to $11,138,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. Testing services revenue increased 29% to $5,697,000 from $4,417,000 a year ago, while manufacturing revenue decreased 4% to $2,963,000, from $3,097,000 and distribution revenue declined 67% to $1,179,000 compared to $3,620,000 in the same quarter last year.

Overall gross margin was $2,458,000 compared to $2,474,000 a year ago, and improved to 25% of revenue compared to 22% last year. The increase in gross margin reflects improved operations at testing services segment, partially offset by lower gross margin in the manufacturing and distribution segments.

Total operating expenses declined to $2,495,000 from $2,604,000 in the same quarter last year, leading to $57,000 in operating income versus an operating loss of $34,000 a year earlier.

The net loss attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7,000, or $0.00 per share after non-cash stock compensation expenses of $283,000. This compares to a net loss of $167,000, or $0.04 per share, which included non-cash stock compensation expenses of $433,000, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Trio-Tech Launches Dynamic HTOL Test System for Electric Vehicles

S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, "Continued strength in our testing services business and effective control over operating costs enabled Trio-Tech to deliver improved third quarter gross margin and generate free cash flow despite the decrease in revenue in a very challenging environment in our industry.

“We are encouraged by improving demand trends for electronic products in automotive applications. A key reason for our optimism is the development and launch, in the current fiscal year, of our new Dynamic High Temperature Operating Life Test (HTOL) System for Silicon Carbide (SiC) / Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power Modules used in the electric vehicle market. Designed to comply with AQG 324 automotive guidelines, Trio-Tech’s Dynamic HTOL System won an initial $1,000,000 order from a lead customer with which we are working closely to achieve their test requirements and validation of our systems. We expect to deliver these systems within the next two quarters and are also actively engaging several new potential customers for similar applications. In light of the strong global growth projections for the GaN & SiC power semiconductor market, we believe this new test system has the potential to significantly contribute to Trio-Tech’s long-term growth and profitability.”

Nine Months Results

For the first nine months of fiscal 2023, revenue increased 6% to $34,171,000 compared to $32,231,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, reflecting a 27% increase in testing services revenue to $17,709,000 from $13,983,000, a 14% increase in manufacturing revenue to $11,592,000 from $10,187,000 and a 40% decline in distribution revenue to $4,855,000 from $8,038,000 in the same period last year.

Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased to $9,415,000, or 28% of revenue, from $8,543,000, or 27% of revenue, for the same period last year.

Operating expenses increased to $7,316,000 compared to $7,047,000, but declined to 21% of revenue, compared to 22% of revenue in the same period of fiscal 2022.

Net income attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $1,382,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $1,605,000, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2023 was $30,476,000, or $7.48 per outstanding share, compared to $28,002,000, or $6.88 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2022. There were approximately 4,076,680 common shares outstanding at March 31,2023.
