Item 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company,” “Pro-Dex,” “we,” “our,” “us”) specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic, thoracic, and craniomaxillofacial (“CMF”) markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting technology and proprietary sealing solutions that appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. Additionally, we provide engineering, quality and regulatory consulting services to our customers. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries; however, these motors comprise a de minimis portion of our business. Beginning in fiscal 2026, we began selling precision machined parts and assemblies for the aerospace and defense industries through our newly acquired subsidiary, Advanced Precision Machining, LLC (“APM”).

We were incorporated in Colorado in 1994. In August 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued growth of our business. This subsidiary has no separate operations.

In February 2026, we acquired APM, a manufacturer located in Costa Mesa, California. APM manufactures several of our machined sub-assemblies and also manufactures parts and assemblies for the aerospace and defense industries. In addition, it serves as a Prime Contractor for the U.S. Government and therefore maintains registrations under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) as well as a Joint Certification Program (“JCP”) certification. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, PDEX Franklin and APM and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Our principal headquarters are located at 2361 McGaw Avenue, Irvine, California 92614 and our phone number is 949-769-3200. Our corporate Internet address iswww.pro-dex.com. Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports, and certain other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Discounts & Other(253)—(1,299)(2%)
Total Sales77,548100%66,593100%

Our medical device products utilize proprietary designs, are developed by us primarily under exclusive development and supply agreements and are currently machined in our Irvine, California facility, and assembled in our Tustin, California facility, as are our rotary air motors. Our medical device products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers and our air motors are sold to a wide range of distributors and end users. We also manufacture and sell precision machined parts and assemblies for the aerospace and defense industries through our newly acquired subsidiary APM.

In fiscal 2026, our top three customers accounted for 92% of our sales compared to 94% in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2026, we had one customer, included in both medical device and repairs revenue above, that accounted for 78% of sales with our next largest customer accounting for 8% of sales. This compares to fiscal 2025, when these same two customers accounted for 75% and 12%, respectively, of our total sales. In many cases, including our largest customers, disclosure of customer names is prohibited by confidentiality agreements with such entities. We have no plans to discontinue the sales relationships with our existing significant customers, nor does management have any knowledge that any existing significant customer intends to terminate its relationship with us.

Our business today is almost entirely driven by sales of our medical devices. Many of our significant customers place purchase orders for specific products that were developed under various development and/or supply agreements. Our customers may request that we design and manufacture a custom surgical device or they may hire us as a contract manufacturer to manufacture a product of their own design. In either case, we have extensive experience with autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers. We continue to focus a significant percentage of our time and resources on providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, our largest customer executed an amendment to our existing supply agreement such that we shall continue to supply their surgical handpieces to them through calendar 2028. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we completed the acquisition of APM, one of our significant suppliers, to help meet the increased demand as a result of this contract extension. Our acquisition of APM provides us with a second machine shop located in Costa Mesa, California that not only provides machined assemblies to service our largest customer but also provides machining to other customers primarily in the defense and aerospace industries.

Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers and/or acquisitions of other businesses. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting software has been very well received in the CMF and thoracic markets.

The majority of the raw materials and components used to manufacture our products are purchased and are available from several sources, including through our own in-house machining capabilities. Portescap, Fischer Connectors, and Tadiran Batteries are examples of key suppliers. We have no exclusive arrangements with any of our suppliers, but in several instances only one supplier is used for certain high-value components. In most of such instances, secondary suppliers have been identified, although it is likely that any transition to a new or different supplier would result in a delay in the supply chain. We consider our relationships with our suppliers and manufacturers to be good, however, beginning in fiscal 2025, some of our suppliers began passing along tariff charges and we have passed these tariffs on to some of our customers. We do not intend to terminate any such relationship at this time, nor does management have knowledge that any supplier or manufacturer intends to terminate its relationship with us.

Our commitment to product design, manufacturing, and quality systems are supported by our compliance with several regulatory agency requirements and standards. We hold a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Establishment Registration and a State of California Device Manufacturing License (Department of Public Health Food and Drug Branch) with respect to our Irvine and Tustin, California facilities. In addition, both facilities produce products that are certified to ISO 13485:2016, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC – Annex II. APM produces products that are certified to AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015.

At June 30, 2026, we had a backlog of $32.9 million compared with a backlog of $50.4 million at June 30, 2025. Our backlog represents firm purchase orders received and acknowledged from our customers and does not include all revenue expected to be generated from existing customer contracts. Substantially all of our backlog at June 30, 2026, as well as certain purchase orders received subsequent to June 30, 2026, are expected to be delivered during fiscal 2027. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, variability in our new order bookings due to, among other reasons, the launch of new products, the timing of customer orders based on end-user demand, and customer inventory levels. We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Segments

We have only one operating segment as our business is currently operated. We have reached this conclusion because our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) allocates resources, assesses performance, and manages our business as one segment. Additionally, 98% of our business in fiscal 2026 relates to designing, manufacturing, and repairing medical devices. We primarily design, sell, and repair handheld medical devices and accessories. We provide medical devices, NRE and proto-type services, as well as repairs to all our customers. The CEO utilizes consolidated operating income to analyze our business operations.

Competition

The markets for products in the industries served by our customers are intensely competitive, and we face significant competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, product development, and marketing resources, than us.

We compete in all of our markets with other major medical device companies. As a provider of outsourced services, we also compete with our customers’ own internal development and manufacturing groups. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us, our customers’ internal development and manufacturing departments, or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products targeting the same customers.

Research and Development

We conduct research and development activities to both maintain and improve our market position. Our research and development efforts involve the design and manufacture of products that perform specific applications for our existing and prospective customers. Our research and development activities are focused on:

·expanding our knowledge base in the medical device industry to solidify our products with current customers and expand our customer base;
·advancing applicable technologies;
·introducing new products; and
·enhancing our existing product lines.

In certain instances, we may share research and development costs with our customers by billing for non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services often provided for under development portions of certain contracts. Revenue recognized for NRE services represented 2% and 1% of our revenue, respectively, during fiscal 2026 and 2025.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred research and development expenses amounting to $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which costs exclude labor and related expenses of approximately $82,000 and $73,000 in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, that were reimbursed by our customers through billings for NRE services.

Human Capital Management

Our employees are among our most critical assets. The success and growth of our business depends on our ability to attract, reward, retain and develop talent in all levels of our organization, including, but not limited to, machine operators, assembly technicians, engineers, and management.

In order to attract and retain highly qualified employees, we offer the following:

·Competitive, reasonable, and equitable compensation programs;
·Comprehensive and highly competitive health and welfare benefits to promote our employees’ physical health, as well as a 401(k) plan to support our employees’ financial health;
·An Employee Stock Purchase Plan and equity compensation to provide financial value, align employee’s interests with those of our shareholders, and incentivize retention;
·Flexible paid vacation and sick time, as well as paid volunteer time; and
·Education/tuition reimbursement and referral programs.

Our employee turnover for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 21% and 16%, respectively. We consider the turnover rate a valuable metric to measure the effectiveness of our programs and to assist in developing new programs.

Employees

At June 30, 2026 we had 206 employees, five of whom were part time, and all but four were working at our facilities in California. At June 30, 2025 we had 181 employees, two of whom were part time, and all were working at one or both of our facilities in Irvine, California and Tustin, California. None of our employees are a party to any collective bargaining agreements with us. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Government Regulations

The manufacture and distribution of medical devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by various agencies, including the FDA, and state medical boards. The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and advisories that affect our businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every effort to maintain full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate the ongoing risk that one or more of our activities or devices may at some point be determined to be non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could range from an administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business. Furthermore, even if we are subsequently determined to have fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, the costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.

The FDA designates all medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II, or III) based on the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device (with Class I requiring the lowest level of control and Class III requiring the greatest level of control). The surgical instrumentation we manufacture is generally classified into Class I. The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of products that do not comply with federal regulations and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes. Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our products and processes have been the subject of routine governmental reviews and investigations.

The total cost of providing health care services has been and will continue to be subject to review by governmental agencies and legislative bodies in the major world markets, including the United States, which are faced with significant pressure to lower health care costs. Downward pressure on health care costs could result in reduced pricing or demand for our products.

APM operates a manufacturing facility located in Costa Mesa, California and manufactures precision machined components and assemblies for the medical, aerospace and defense industries, including parts and assemblies for aerospace and defense systems. In addition, APM serves as a Prime Contractor for the U.S. Government and, as such, maintains registrations under ITAR and a JCP certification. The regulatory requirements may include U.S. export control and sanctions regimes, including ITAR and the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), as well as other laws and regulations that apply to the performance of U.S. government contracts. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.

We believe that our business is conducted in a manner consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other agency regulations governing disposition of industrial waste materials.

While we believe that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the outcome of any investigation or review which may be undertaken in the future with respect to our products or processes.

Management believes that each of our facilities has manufacturing systems and processes that are based on established Quality Management System standards. In addition, we believe that both our Irvine, California and Tustin, California facilities are compliant with applicable Good Manufacturing Practices promulgated by the FDA and are compliant with applicable ISO standards set forth by the International Organization for Standardization. We similarly believe that our Costa Mesa, California facility is compliant with applicable ISO standards set forth by the International Organization for Standardization.

Patents, Trademarks, and Licensing Agreements

We hold US and foreign patents relating to our handheld medical devices and torque-limiting screwdrivers. Our patents have varying expiration dates. The near-term expiration of the patents, if any, is not expected to cause any change in our revenue-generating operations as changing the legal manufacturer of medical devices is a significant undertaking and we believe the expiration of a patent would offer minimal inducement to make such a change.

We have no reason to believe that our activities infringe upon the intellectual property of any third party. With respect to our own patents, we have no reason to believe that our patents are invalid, and we believe that at least some of our patents cover certain aspects of our products. Although we are currently unaware of any reason that would cause us to assert or defend a claim of patent infringement, any such assertion or defense could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations due to the costs involved.

We have certain federally registered trademarks relating to our products, including Pro-Dex®, along with a number of other common law trademarks.

We have not entered into any franchising agreements. We have not granted, nor do we hold any, third-party licenses having terms under which we earn revenue or incur expense in material amounts.
