Trio-Tech Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Results

Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 30% to $9,308,000 compared to $7,179,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, driven by a 40% increase in manufacturing revenue, a 36% increase in testing services revenue and a 2% increase in distribution revenue.

Gross margin increased 68% to $2,222,000, or 24% of revenue, compared to $1,323,000, or 18% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Income from operations increased to $359,000 compared to an operating loss of $629,000 in the fourth quarter last year.

The Company recorded a one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $1,580,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 related to the doubtful recovery of a down payment on shop lots in the Singapore Theme Resort Project in Chongqing, China. We elected to take this non-cash impairment charge because of increased uncertainties regarding the project’s viability given the developer's weakening financial condition as well as uncertainties arising from the negative real-estate environment in China, implementation of control measures on real-estate lending and its relevant government policies, together with effects of the ongoing pandemic.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $996,000, or $0.25 per share, compared to net income of $109,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter last year. The one-time, non-cash impairment charge had no effect on the operations of Trio-Tech’s core business.

Backlog rose 45% to $13,503,000 at June 30, 2021, up from $9,340,000 at June 30, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents increased 41% to $5,836,000 at the end of fiscal 2021 compared to $4,150,000 at the close of fiscal 2020. Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2021 was $26,053,000, or $6.66 per outstanding share, compared to $25,146,000, or $6.85 per outstanding share, at June 30, 2020. There were approximately 3,913,055 common shares outstanding at June 30, 2021.

CEO Comments

S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO, said, “Our strong improvements in fourth quarter revenue, gross margin and operating income marked an encouraging conclusion to an otherwise difficult year for Trio-Tech. The one-time, non-cash impairment charge does not affect our cautious optimism as we enter the new fiscal year, although we recognize that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are only now beginning to recede and business conditions remain fragile. We continue to adhere to our long-standing strategy of providing first class products and services while maintaining tight control over operating costs, a strategy that has served us well for more than 60 years.”

Yong noted that the Company has recently received an order confirmation and is negotiating a five-year contract to establish a new facility in China to supply testing and burn-in services for a number of various semiconductor components with applications in computing and automotive electronics. “Only a few miles from our current China operations, this facility demonstrates the confidence and trust Trio-Tech’s customers place in our ability to provide continuing close-in support adjacent to their new testing operations,” he added.

Fiscal 2021 Results

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, overall revenue decreased 6% to $32,462,000 compared to $34,465,000 in fiscal 2020. Manufacturing revenue increased by 13%, which was offset by a 7% and 32% decrease in testing services revenue and distribution revenue respectively, compared to fiscal 2020.

Fiscal 2021, gross margin improved 3%, to 24% of revenue compared to 21% of revenue for fiscal 2020. Gross margin improved, despite the $2,003,000 decline in revenue, due to the Company’s establishment of effective cost control programs for its testing services operations.

The net loss for fiscal 2021 was $591,000, or $0.16 per share, including the $1,580,000 impairment loss related to the Singapore Theme Resort Project in the fourth quarter. Net income for fiscal 2020 was $878,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, which included a gain of $1,172,000 from the sale of real estate and $718,000 in government grants to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.

Trio-Tech also announced that it has restated certain items in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 to correct an error regarding the accounting for stock options. This correction had the effect of decreasing retained earnings by $621,000, increasing general and administrative expenses by $88,000 and additional paid-in-capital by $621,000. As a result, restated net income for fiscal 2020 was $878,000 or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to previously reported net income for fiscal 2020 of $966,000 or $0.26 per diluted share.
