Precision Optics Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results

GARDNER, Mass., Feb. 13, 2020 /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 second quarter fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Second quarter fiscal 2020 highlights:

  • Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $2.8 million compared to $1.5 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, an increase of 89% driven primarily by Ross Optical operating as a division of Precision Optics. Revenues for both Precision Optics and Ross Optical increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
  • Gross margins for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 of 33% compared to 24% in the same quarter of the prior year driven primarily by Ross Optical operating as a division of Precision Optics.
  • Net loss of $550,825 during the quarter included $274,706 of stock-based compensation.

Precision Optics' CEO, Joseph Forkey, commented, "I am pleased with the strong top line performance during the second quarter which highlighted the continued traction we are achieving in our Precision Optics operations, as well as our recently acquired Ross Optical division, with both reporting growth in revenues on a quarter-over-quarter, and year-over-year basis. We continued to deliver against our three commercial level production projects and momentum continues to build in our product pipeline with two products anticipated to be launched this year. As previously discussed, the investments we continue to make in certain products advancing through their complex engineering phases negatively impacted our gross margins again this quarter.  However, as these new products come to market, we believe they will contribute to a higher level of top line revenue as well as a return to higher blended gross margins."

Dr. Forkey continued, "We also continue to make disciplined investments in the areas of engineering, sales and marketing, and technology advancement. Recently, we announced the appointment of Jon Everett as our new VP of Engineering to increase our product development pipeline and move existing development projects towards commercialization. The joint Precision Optics and Ross Optical sales teams continue to work well together as we take advantage of the anticipated synergies between the operations, including our joint participation at two highly attended west coast industry conferences over the last two weeks. Finally, we are maintaining our leadership position in micro optics and 3D imaging, with a new patent issued recently for single-use devices, and the submission of two additional patent applications last week. I am pleased with the balanced approach we are taking to invest in the future of Precision Optics, while maintaining a focus on achieving consistent positive cash flows."
