Consolidated revenue for the fiscal year 2020 totalled €6.2M, a decrease of 6% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year (April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019).
The Group's manufacturing activities recorded revenue of €4.2M, an increase of 14% over the previous fiscal year. This development is in line with the company's strategy to continuously enhance its production activities, which now account for 68% of Tronics' overall revenue. This momentum was sustained by the increasing demand for Tronics' high-performance MEMS inertial sensors and BioMEMS, the latter being manufactured in the US subsidiary.
Engineering activities, dedicated to the development and the industrialization of future custom MEMS products at Group level, accounted for €2.0M in the fiscal year 2020 (versus €2.9M in the fiscal year 2019).
Revenue of the American subsidiary was up, reaching USD 0.9M versus USD 0.6M over the previous fiscal year, thus confirming the gradual recovery of the production unit in Dallas. The American subsidiary now accounts for 13% of total Group's revenue.
Tronics expects to announce significant losses for the period ending on March 31, 2020, given the continued investments in the development of new products and the expenses in sustaining both production units, in compliance with the pursued strategy.
INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19
Tronics has been impacted in March 2020 by the Covid-19 epidemics. As the health of our employees is our top priority, facility in Crolles shut down for 14 days in order to reorganize its activities and ensure minimal contacts between employees on site. Impact on March 2020 result is estimated around 0.3M€ additional loss.
Activity in Crolles has restarted on April 2, 2020 at a slower pace given the increased health protection measures on site in order to protect the employees. The fixed costs will be adapted accordingly, notably through short time labour. Impacts for the upcoming 2021 fiscal year are still under evaluation.
