Grenoble, France and Dallas, TX, USA – November 4, 2021 - Tronics, a TDK Group Company that manufactures custom MEMS products and standard inertial sensors for industrial applications, has announced its revenue for first half of fiscal year 2022 (from April 1 to September 30, 2021). Consolidated revenue increased by 66% compared to the same period of last year.
CONSOLIDATED REVENUE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF FISCAL YEAR 2022
in €k (IFRS) - unaudited | First half of fiscal year 2022 | First half of fiscal year 2021 | Half year variation |
From April 1 to September 30, 2021 | From April 1 to September 30, 2020 | ||
Revenue | 6,385 | 3,851 | +66% |
Manufacturing | 5,061 | 3,113 | +63% |
Engineering | 1,323 | 738 | +79% |
Revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2022 totalled €6.4M, a significant increase compared with the same period of last fiscal year (from April 1 to September 30, 2020), driven by the growth of the manufacturing activities.
The Group's manufacturing activities generated revenue of €5.1M, an increase of +63% compared to the same period of last year. The growth has been supported by production activities in Crolles, France, which increased by +53% over the same period. This momentum has been driven by a growing demand for Tronics' high performance MEMS inertial sensors, and by the activities related to custom MEMS products for industrial applications. Nowadays, manufacturing activities account for 79% of Tronics' revenue, in line with the Company's strategy, which has made this activity its main growth priority.
Engineering activities, dedicated to the development and the industrialization of future customized MEMS products at Group level, accounted for €1.3M in the first half of fiscal year 2022 (versus €0.7M in the first half of fiscal year 2021).
Moreover, over the last six months of fiscal year 2022, revenue of the American subsidiary was up, reaching USD 1.6M versus USD 0.7M over the same period of previous fiscal year, thus confirming the ramp-up of the BioMEMS foundry activity of its US subsidiary. The American subsidiary now accounts for more than 20% of total Group's revenue.
OUTLOOK
Given the increased revenue over the first half of fiscal year 2022, Tronics expects an improvement of its recurring operating income (which was minus €3.2M in the first half of 2021) although it will remain in deficit.
In the second half of the year, Tronics expects to continue its growth momentum in the manufacturing activities in France, still focused on the ramp-up of the existing product portfolio and new product launches, which allow for increased sales of innovative MEMS products for high value-added inertial and industrial applications.
