EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—October 21, 2020—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2020.

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 33% to $4.38 million from $6.50 million for the the prior-year quarter.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 42% to $2.22 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $3.82 million, or $0.79 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 2021, total revenue decreased 30% to $8.97 million from $12.8 million for the first six months of the prior year. The decrease was due to a 31% decrease in product sales and a 14% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income decreased 38% to $4.63 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $7.43 million, or $1.53 per share, for the first half of fiscal 2020.
