Dynasil Corporation of America Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results
NEWTON, Mass., Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynasil Corporation of America (NASDAQ: DYSL), a developer and manufacturer of optics and photonics products, optical detection and analysis technology and components for the homeland security, medical and industrial markets, today announced it is continuing its efforts to improve gross profit margin in the Company's operating segments.
"Our third quarter was particularly difficult across our core research and optics businesses," said Peter Sulick, Dynasil CEO. "While we have maintained operating profitability and margins, the combination of the loss in revenue from two large OEM customers, one a UK customer and the other a domestic customer, and a substantial delay in funding our approved government projects all hit us during the same quarter. The results of these revenue disruptions were a reduction of $1.0 million in Optics revenue for the quarter and a $0.6 million reduction in contract research revenue. Fortunately, all of this was timing-related and not due to any longer term systemic issues. Indications are that both large commercial customers are returning to prior order levels during the fourth quarter.
"We anticipate RMD returning to a normal operating posture during the fourth quarter. On the positive side, most delayed projects have now been funded and RMD had an excellent year for project awards," continued Mr. Sulick. "Consequently, as of today, RMD's project backlog and funded project levels are at one of the highest points in the past five years. This unusual swing was unanticipated and disruptive, but the situation at RMD is normalizing.
"One bright spot continues to be the RMD commercial revenue which should end the year at approximately three times the prior year level of $600,000. RMD's CLYC dual mode scintillator is getting considerable market traction, particularly within the personalized radiation detector (PRD) market. We anticipate this business to continue to grow into 2018. In addition, RMD has a product pipeline which we anticipate coming on line serially over the next eighteen months, resulting in continued growth in RMD commercial revenue."
Certain key metrics by segment for the current quarter and the same period last year are presented below:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 | ||||
Optics | Contract | Biomedical | Total | |
Revenue | $ 5,780,000 | $ 4,626,000 | $ - | $ 10,406,000 |
Gross profit | 2,012,000 | 1,915,000 | - | 3,927,000 |
GM % | 35% | 41% | - | 38% |
Operating expenses | 1,604,000 | 1,601,000 | 396,000 | 3,601,000 |
Operating income (loss) | $ 408,000 | $ 314,000 | $ (396,000) | $ 326,000 |
Dynasil's net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders was approximately ($0.2) million or ($0.01) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Earnings attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $2.6 million or $0.15 per common share, largely as the result of a U.S. income tax benefit resulting from the deconsolidation for tax purposes of Xcede Technologies, Inc., the Company's tissue sealant technology development joint venture. Because of the previously discussed Xcede Technologies' transactions in November 2016, Dynasil's ownership percentage in Xcede decreased to less than 80% and Dynasil will no longer include Xcede in its consolidated federal tax return, which resulted in an income tax benefit in the amount of $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017.
