Pro-Dex (NASDAQ: PDEX) Q3 revenue up 15% as EPS climbs to $1.20
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Pro-Dex, Inc. reported higher sales and earnings for its fiscal third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2026. Third-quarter net sales rose 15% to $19.9 million from $17.4 million, driven mainly by higher shipments of its largest customer’s next generation orthopedic handpiece, partly offset by lower repair revenue. Gross profit increased to $6.1 million, but gross margin slipped to 31% from 33% on a less favorable product mix. Operating expenses climbed 41% to $3.0 million, reflecting the Advanced Precision Machining acquisition and higher personnel costs, reducing operating income to $3.1 million from $3.6 million.
Third-quarter net income rose to $3.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, from $3.3 million, or $0.98, boosted by a $2.3 million realized gain on contingent value rights tied to Monogram Technologies. For the nine months, net sales increased 16% to $57.1 million, and net income grew to $10.8 million, or $3.27 per diluted share, aided by a $9.1 million realized gain partly offset by reversal of $3.2 million in prior unrealized gains. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $10.0 million and shareholders’ equity to $45.2 million as of March 31, 2026.
Positive
- Revenue and earnings growth: Net sales rose 15% in the quarter to $19.9 million and 16% year-to-date to $57.1 million, while diluted EPS increased to $1.20 for the quarter and $3.27 for nine months.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Strong top-line growth and higher EPS, but margins compress and gains rely on investments.
Pro-Dex delivered solid revenue expansion, with net sales up 15% in the quarter to $19.9M and 16% year-to-date to $57.1M. Growth is concentrated in shipments of its largest customer’s next generation orthopedic handpiece and higher CMF driver and battery sales, highlighting customer and product concentration.
Profitability is mixed. Gross margin fell from 33% to 31% for the quarter and to 30% for nine months, reflecting unfavorable product mix. Operating expenses rose 41% in the quarter to $3.0M, driven by the Advanced Precision Machining acquisition and higher personnel costs, which pressured operating income slightly despite higher sales.
Net income increased meaningfully, to $3.9M for the quarter and $10.8M for nine months, but this includes sizable realized gains of $2.3M and $9.1M from Monogram Technologies-related investments, with a $3.2M reversal of prior unrealized gains. Cash rose sharply to $10.0M as of March 31, 2026, while notes payable also increased, suggesting a stronger balance sheet with more leverage. Subsequent filings may provide additional insight into how the APM acquisition and product mix trends affect longer-term margins.

For Immediate Release
PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2026 THIRD QUARTER
AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS
IRVINE, CA, April 30, 2026 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company also filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2026
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $2.5 million, or 15%, to $19.9 million from $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in shipments in the amount of $4.7 million of our largest customer’s next generation orthopedic handpiece offset by a decrease in repair revenue of $2.4 million similarly generated from our largest customer. We also recognized $345,000 more NRE and prototype revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $335,000, or 6%, to $6.1 million from $5.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. Gross margin decreased by 2 percentage points to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 33% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to an unfavorable product mix.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased $881,000, or 41%, to $3.0 million compared to $2.2 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter, reflecting increases in selling, general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher expenses related to the acquisition of Advanced Precision Machining, LLC (“APM”) as well as increased personnel related expenses and includes approximately $200,000 in non-recurring legal and consulting fees related to the APM acquisition offset by lower research and development expenditures.
Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, decreased $546,000, or 15%, to $3.1 million compared to $3.6 million for the prior fiscal year’s corresponding quarter. The decrease is attributable to higher general and administrative expenses related to increased personnel costs, professional fees incurred related to our APM acquisition (which are non-recurring), as well as the inclusion of APM’s separate and continuing general and administrative expenses.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $3.9 million or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2025. The net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, includes a realized gain in the amount of $2.3 million from the payment of non-tradeable contingent value rights we hold in Monogram Technologies, Inc., related to its previous acquisition by Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $8.0 million, or 16%, to $57.1 million from $49.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, due primarily to an increase of $16.6 million in shipments of the next generation handpiece we sell to our largest customer offset by a decrease of $5.2 million of their legacy handpiece and $5.5 million in decreased repair revenue from their legacy handpiece. We also shipped $2.1 million more of our CMF drivers and batteries to various distributors during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
| 1 |
Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $1.2 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2025 due to increased sales. Our gross margin decreased by 3 percentage points to 30% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 33% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, mostly as a result of a less favorable product mix.
Operating expenses (which include selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $1.1 million, or 17%, to $7.8 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior fiscal year’s corresponding period. The increase is related to increased selling, general and administrative expenses mostly due to higher personnel-related expenses offset by a decrease in research and development costs.
Operating income for nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $117,000, or 1%, to $9.5 million compared to $9.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income is attributable to higher sales and gross profit offset by the higher operating expenses described above.
Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, was $10.8 million or $3.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.8 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, includes a $9.1 million realized gain offset by the reversal of $3.2 million in unrealized gains related to our investment in Monogram Technologies, Inc. which was acquired by Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. during our second fiscal quarter.
CEO Comments

We are well positioned for sustained success for the remainder of this fiscal year and beyond.”
