Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT) today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total revenue increased 6% to $10,398,000 compared to $9,842,000 for same quarter last year. Manufacturing segment revenue increased 62% to $4,813,000, compared to $2,963,000 for the same quarter last year. Distribution segment revenue increased 51% to $1,783,000, compared to $1,179,000 for the same period last year. Testing Services segment revenue decreased 33% to $3,796,000 from $5,697,000 for the same quarter last year.

Overall gross margin increased 10% to $2,703,000, or 26% of revenue, compared to $2,458,000, or 25% of revenue for the same period last year. The increase in gross margin reflects improved operations in the Manufacturing and Distribution segments, partially offset by lower gross margin in Testing Services.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to $2,644,000, or 25% of revenue, from $2,495,000, or 25% of revenue, in the same quarter last year.

CEO Comments

S.W. Yong, Trio-Tech’s CEO, said, “Higher capital spending by our key customers and increased backlog enabled the Manufacturing segment to achieve a 62% revenue gain in the seasonally weakest quarter of our fiscal year. Increasing demand for electronic components and display products, a market we specifically targeted for growth in the past year, drove a 51% increase in Distribution revenue. We are cautiously optimistic that these favorable trends in revenue and profitability for these two segments of our business will continue throughout this calendar year.

“The performance of our Testing Services segment reflects continued weakness in global semiconductor demand. The cost control measures we have implemented across the Company have enabled Trio-Tech to maintain solid margins despite the decline in revenue in the Testing Services segment. We are confident that our tight manufacturing cost controls, strong cash flow and attention to market developments position Trio-Tech to exploit any near-term opportunities and developments in the semiconductor industry.”
