Current report
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 (the second quarter of fiscal 2027)decreased 8% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the second quarter of fiscal 2026). The decrease was due to a 9% decrease in product sales, partially offset by a 25% increase in contract research and development revenue. The decrease in product sales was due to certain customer’s orders rescheduling and a decrease in defense industry product sales. The orders rescheduling was due to a temporary change to a certain customer’s inventory requirements. Defense sales depend on Government procurement cycles and can be highly variable. The increase in contract research and development revenue was due to progress on existing contracts.
Current report
Total operating expenses increased 4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026, due to a 44% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense, partially offset by a 17% decrease in research and development expense. The decrease in research and development expense was due to staffing redeployment. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to larger stock-based compensation expense related to director stock option grants, because of a higher grant-date stock price.
Current report
Our effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes, decreased to 14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 (the second quarter of fiscal 2027), compared to 20% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the second quarter of fiscal 2026). The decrease was primarily due to more favorable tax treatment of Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible** **Income. We currently expect a tax rate of 13% to 15% for the remaining two remaining quarters of fiscal 2027.
Current report
The 4% decrease in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to decreased revenue and increased operating expenses, partially offset by a decreased income tax provision.
