AMITYVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (NSSC), one of the world's leading solutions providers and manufacturers of high-technology electronic intrusion security, connected home, video and fire systems, as well as enterprise-class access control and door locking products, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Highlights:
| · | Net sales for the first quarter were $17.3 million, up 1% from the same quarter last year. Last year’s sales included a large custom access control system order for a major university. |
| | |
| · | Sales of the Company's door-locking products, including LocDown™ products, grew 4% in the first quarter as compared to the same period a year ago, representing the ninth consecutive quarter of growth of these products. |
| | |
| · | Alarm Division recurring revenue for the first quarter increased 82% and grew sequentially by 13%. |
| | |
| · | Gross margin improved 110 basis points to 30.3% for the quarter as compared to 29.2% for the same period last year. |
| | |
| · | Income before taxes for the first quarter increased by 42% to $196,000 as compared to $138,000 last year. |
| | |
| · | Earnings per share (diluted) for the first quarter remained constant at $0.01 as compared to the same quarter a year ago. |
| | |
| · | Debt, net of cash, has been reduced by $28.2 million from $35.9 million to $7.7 million since acquiring Marks in August of 2008, with $1.6 million of this reduction occurring in the first three months of this fiscal year. The net debt of $7.7 million is the lowest level in eight years. |
Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, said, “Our focus on selling higher margin products with recurring revenue streams helped us deliver solid results to our bottom line during the seasonally slow fiscal first quarter. Our improved gross margin during what has historically been our weakest sales quarter highlights the operating leverage in our business and underscores our earnings potential as we move into seasonally stronger quarters. This is particularly encouraging in light of the strong interest we are seeing for our integrated locking and access control solutions, which provide end-user customers with some of the most cost-effective, advanced security systems on the market. During the quarter, our Continental division signed a contract with a large Midwestern university to provide its campus with an integrated access-locking solution as part of the first phase of a campus-wide project. The fact that prominent educational institutions with large physical infrastructures continue to turn to NAPCO to make their students, faculty and administrators safer is a testament to the traction we are gaining in this fast-growing segment of the security market.”
Mr. Soloway added: “In addition, other new product lines with recurring revenue streams continue to perform well. Activations of our Starlink™ 3G/4G Communicators grew 41% sequentially this past quarter as alarm dealers replace 2G radios ahead of that network shutting down in 2017. Our dealer network is also responding positively to the launch of the iBridge Connected Home Dealer Program, which allows consumers to control their security systems, video, cameras, thermostats, entry locks and lighting remotely using a smartphone, PC or tablet.”
Mr. Soloway concluded: “The momentum we’re building across the Company should enable us to accelerate sales growth throughout the year as new products gain awareness among our large distribution and dealer network and we enter seasonally stronger quarters for our core products. We continue to remain keenly focused on building shareholder value and strengthening our balance sheet by steadily reducing debt and buying back our shares. ”
Financial Results
Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 1% to $17.3 million, as compared to $17.2 million for the same period one year ago.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $5.0 million, or 28.9% of sales, as compared to $4.8 million, or 27.8% of sales, for the same period in 2014. The increase was due primarily to additional sales staff and advertising expenditures to support ongoing product introductions.
