EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVE Corporation (Nasdaq:NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2010.
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 20% to $7.81 million from $6.51 million in the prior-year quarter. The revenue increase was due to a 24% increase in product sales and a 5% increase in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 19% to $3.21 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $2.69 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.
For the first six months of fiscal 2011, total revenue increased 13% to $15.1 million from $13.3 million for the first six months of the prior year. The increase was due to an 18% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 7% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2011 was $6.31 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $5.63 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the first half of fiscal 2010.
"We are pleased to report strong product sales and earnings growth for the quarter," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.
