NVE Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC)  announced today financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 91% to $12.8 million from $6.72 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase was due to a 95% increase in product sales and a 10% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 116% to $8.23 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to $3.82 million, or $0.79 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

For fiscal 2023, total revenue increased 42% to $38.3 million, compared to $27 million in the prior year. The increase was due to a 44% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 6% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the year increased 56% from the prior year to a record $22.7 million, or $4.70 per diluted share, from $14.5 million, or $3.00 per share, for fiscal 2022.

The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable May 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

“We are pleased to report record revenue and earnings for the quarter and fiscal year,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
