Although the Company has released its earnings prior to the filing of its annual Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are able to do this because we are a non-accelerated filer and as a result have more time to do so at fiscal year-end. During our quarterly reporting periods we anticipate that our earnings releases will continue to be released at the same time as our Form 10-Q's are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate filing our Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2020.
Guidance
Pro-Dex typically provides neither sales nor earnings guidance, and while the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect our financial results in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we cannot predict the longer-term impact of the pandemic on our business. Additionally, as described above, we released two new products in the second half of fiscal 2020 and while we expect to have future orders for these new products, often the launch or initial quantities are such that our customer can comfortably fill its distribution network and follow on orders may not occur for many months. As a result, fiscal 2020 sales of these products may not be indicative of what sales of these products may be in the future.
CEO Comments
"We are very pleased with our fourth quarter and fiscal year results, and the shipment of the thoracic driver and newly developed next-generation CMF driver. These two product releases occurred in quick succession and demonstrate the culmination of long periods of research and development as well as verification and validation. The timing of these product releases led to a record quarter. While we do not expect every quarter to have two launches and meet such record levels, we still plan to build our business year over year. Pro-Dex's priorities, in response to COVID-19, remain the health and safety of our employees, our communities, customers, and suppliers," said the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer Richard L. ("Rick") Van Kirk. "While we cannot predict the total impact caused by the pandemic, we remain committed to our strategy to continue to provide a safe workplace for our employees, excellent service to our existing customers, and new product introductions to continue to grow our business."
