Precision Optics Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results

GARDNER, Mass., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTCQB: PEYE), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments for the medical and defense industries, announced operating results on an unaudited basis for its first quarter fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

First quarter fiscal 2020 highlights:

  • Revenue for the quarter (ended September 30, 2019) was $2.5 million compared to $1.6 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, an increase of 61% driven primarily by Ross Optical operating as a division of Precision Optics.
  • Gross margins of 39% compared to 30% in the same quarter of the prior year, and sequentially improved for the third consecutive quarter.
  • Net loss of $86,000 during the quarter included $122,000 of stock-based compensation and service fees.

Precision Optics' CEO, Joseph Forkey, commented, "The first quarter financial results highlight the positive impact of our evolving capabilities, which now include Ross Optical, resulting in a year-over-year revenue increase of 61% and positive operating cash flow. During the quarter, we continued deliveries of the three products that went into commercial level production last year and we expect our expanding pipeline of Precision Optics-enabled products to allow for ongoing growth. Our business strategy of enabling leading medical device companies around the world to meet the increasing demands of the surgical community, who are requiring more enhanced and smaller imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery, as well as the rapid proliferation of 3D endoscopes for surgical robotic systems, continues to gain traction."

Dr. Forkey continued, "As we look to the remainder of fiscal 2020, we expect growth from the production of currently commercialized products while continuing to advance our pipeline of engineering projects toward commercialization. Further, we look to build upon the improvements we achieved during the first quarter, where overall gross margins were 39% compared to 30% a year ago. We are working to improve gross margins on our base business and are benefitting from the higher margin profile of Ross Optical. Overall, we maintain a disciplined investment strategy in sales and marketing and engineering capabilities to fuel growth while generating positive cash flows."
