Management to Host Conference Call Today at 11AM ET

AMITYVILLE, N.Y.--()--NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ:NSSC), one of the world’s leading suppliers of high performance electronic security equipment for over 30 years, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Highlights:

Net sales for the first quarter increased 6% to $16,203,000, from $15,327,000 for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA* for the first quarter increased $283,000 or 240% to $401,000 as compared to $118,000 for the same period a year ago (see table attached).

Net income for the first quarter increased $967,000 or 85% to ($167,000) or ($0.01) per share as compared to ($1,134,000) or ($0.06) per share for the same period a year ago. Per share results are based on 19,096,000 fully diluted weighted average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Cash generated by operating activities was approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.2 million for the same period a year ago.

Debt, net of cash, has been reduced by $16.0 million from $35.9 million to $19.9 million since acquiring Marks USA in August of 2008, $0.9 million of which occurred in the first quarter.

Gross Profit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $4,156,000, an increase of 21% compared to $3,423,000 for same period a year ago.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 4% to $4,298,000 as compared to $4,140,000 for the same quarter a year ago.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $575,000 to $(142,000) as compared to $(717,000) for the same quarter a year ago.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, stated, “Our first quarter saw the positive trends from fiscal 2011 continue, including increases in sales, gross profit and net income as compared to the first quarter a year ago. Historically, our quarters get stronger as the fiscal year progresses. We continue to work on reducing our debt levels, as well as interest expense, which decreased by $290,000 in the first quarter as compared to the same three months last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months was due primarily to tradeshow expenses that occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2011. In the prior fiscal year, these tradeshow expenses occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2010.”

“The initiatives that the Company began implementing in fiscal 2010 have resulted in increased sales levels, higher operating efficiencies and improved profitability. In addition, we received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception to the debut of our Fusion™ integrated commercial platform, at last week’s International Security Conference Trade Show. This innovative concept in security fuses intrusion, fire, access control and wireless locking systems all into a singular, easily installed, programmed and monitored industrial platform. Our integrators and dealers will be able to work with the most cost-effective, labor-saving and complete commercial product option available on the market today.”

“Also, the demand for our new, cost-effective, Starlink™ Wireless GSM Communicator has been nothing less than stellar. With the accelerating decline in the use of traditional phone lines, this product will enable our dealers to provide a reliable communication path for alarm signals, as well as remotely trouble-shoot and program their customers’ alarm systems. Additionally, this will provide an incremental recurring income stream to both NAPCO and our dealers.”

Mr. Soloway added, “Our other powerful entry into the recurring revenue generating sector, unveiled at ISC East, is our new iBridge™ Remote Services product. This product gives homeowners the ability to monitor and control their alarm system, video cameras, thermostat and lighting from any smart phone or computer, from anywhere, at anytime. An additional iBridge option includes a wireless, 7-inch touch-screen control center, for in-home operation of those systems.”

“Marks USA also introduced its new Locdown™ battery powered, wirelessly controlled line of locks at ISC East. This product enables schools, college campuses and other public facilities to cost-effectively retrofit their existing locking hardware with remote controlled versions. These locks can then be instantaneously locked down in the event of an emergency, at the master controller level or by the use of individual, hand-held key fobs.”

Mr. Soloway concluded, “With these exciting new products and our restructured and streamlined operations I see our Company as optimally aligned to continue these positive trends and to further take advantage of our position as a technological leader in the security industry as economic conditions improve.”
