Consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2021

Consolidated revenue for the fiscal year 2021, ending on March 31, 2021, totaled €8.7M, an increase of 40% compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase resulted mainly from the increase of 66% in revenue from manufacturing activities combined with a reduction of engineering revenues by 14%, in line with the group's strategy.

Revenue from manufacturing activities in fiscal year 2021 amounted to €7.0M (versus €4.2M in the previous fiscal year), and were sustained by the increasing demand for Tronics' high-performance MEMS inertial sensors and BioMEMS, the latter being manufactured in the US subsidiary. Engineering activities generated €1.7M (versus €2.0M for the previous fiscal year).

Over the 2021 fiscal year, operating costs increased by only 4% compared to the previous fiscal year, reflecting the efforts on both production sites to increase volumes with a controlled cost structure.

The operating income of the fiscal year as of March 31, 2021, came to minus €6.3M (there were no non-current elements in the period under review), and the Group share of the consolidated net income was minus €5.6M.

 

BALANCE-SHEET STRUCTURE

As of March 31, 2021, the equity of Tronics stood at minus €25.3M, including the losses generated by the Group at both production sites during the fiscal year.

The gross debt of Tronics (mainly due to the loans contracted with its parent company) reached €46.7M. Cash amounts to €3.7M.

On the financial level, Tronics benefits from the financial support of the TDK Group in order to adapt its cash flow to the investment needs and to the sustaining of its two production sites.

 

PERSPECTIVES

For the current fiscal year, Tronics is aiming to continue its momentum in the growth of manufacturing revenues initiated in Crolles. To do so, the Group will rely on the ramp-up of the existing product portfolio and new products expected to launch within this fiscal term, which will enable the company to increase the sales of innovative MEMS products for inertial and industrial applications with high added value.

Furthermore, the Group expects a ramp-up of the BioMEMS foundry activity of its US subsidiary.

Tronics aims to capitalize on the existing distribution agreements in order to grow its worldwide customer base for its high-performance MEMS inertial sensors, while relying on the technology and sales synergies within the Group to develop its activities in the MEMS field.
