NVE Corporation Reports First Quarter Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 20% to $8.83 million from $7.34 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to a 23% increase in product sales partially offset by a 50% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 6% to $4.40 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to $4.14 million, or $0.86 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 31, 2023, to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2023.
“We are pleased to report strong revenue growth for the quarter compared to the prior year,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
