Quarterly Revenue and Earnings Growth
Revenue for Q3 FY2026 increased 23% year-over-year. Net income rose 11% to $3.38 million ($0.70 per diluted share) from $3.05 million ($0.63). Product sales increased 16% and contract R&D revenue surged 335% in the quarter. Key profitability metrics remained strong: operating margin 60%, pretax margin 68%, and net margin 54%.
Sustained Cash Generation and Expense Control
Cash flow from operations was $12.2 million for the first 9 months. Total operating expenses decreased 12% year-over-year (R&D down 9%, SG&A down 19%). Working capital improvements included accounts receivable decreasing $1.1 million and inventories down $177,000 in the 9-month period.
Manufacturing Capacity Expansion Nearing Service
Completed installation and calibration of a new equipment cluster; fixed asset purchases were $2.18 million for the first 9 months (including $1.05 million in the December quarter). New equipment increases capacity and wafer-level chip scale packaging capability, with deposition control to within 1 atomic layer and expected to be placed into service by March 31.
New Product Innovations and R&D Momentum
Announced a new wafer-level chip scale sensor (0.65 mm², ~1/3 size of conventionally packaged version) enabling significant miniaturization and sensitivity benefits. Company reports a continuous flow of new products targeting high-value markets (medical devices, EV/autonomous vehicles, advanced robotics, AIoT).
Customer Traction and Channel Momentum
Executed a 2-year supplier extension with Abbott through Dec 31, 2027 that includes price increases for 2026 and 2027. Distributor sales have picked up (signaling inventory drawdown at distributors and improved end-user demand), and recent trade show activity generated qualified leads.
Expected Tax Credits and Cash Tax Reduction
Company expects a full-year tax rate of 16%–17% in FY2026 due to anticipated advanced manufacturing investment tax credits of $700,000–$1,000,000. Accelerated deductions of previously unamortized R&D expenses are expected to reduce cash taxes for the fiscal year by approximately $1.1 million.
