NVE Corporation Reports Third Quarter Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—January 19, 2022—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2021.

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 4% to $6.29 million from $6.53 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to a 7% decrease in product sales partially offset by an 86% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 12% to $3.47 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $3.93 million, or $0.81 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, total revenue increased 31% to $20.3 million from $15.5 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase was due to a 31% increase in product sales and a 17% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income increased 25% to $10.7 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, from $8.56 million, or $1.77 per share, for the nine months of fiscal 2021.

The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $1.00 per share of common stock, payable February 28, 2022 to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2022.

“We are pleased to report solid earnings for the quarter despite supply-chain disruptions that delayed product shipments,” said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D. “We ended the quarter well-positioned with work-in-process product inventories.”
