AMITYVILLE, N.Y., May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: 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 third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Highlights:

  • Net sales for the third quarter of $17.9 million, up 4% from the same quarter last year. Net sales for the first nine months of $54.8 million, up 4% from the same period last year.
  • Sales of the Company's door-locking products increased 10% in the third quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago. Sales of these products increased 5% in the nine months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period a year ago.
  • Alarm Division recurring revenue for the third quarter increased 46% and grew sequentially by 6%. Growth for the nine months was up 58% as compared to the same period last year.
  • Income before taxes for the quarter decreased by 39% to $421,000 as compared to $686,000 last year. Income before taxes for the nine months increased by 33% to $1,656,000 as compared to $1,244,000 last year.
  • Earnings per share (diluted) for the third quarter decreased by 33% to $0.02 as compared to $0.03 for the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share (diluted) for the nine months increased by 33% to $0.08 as compared to $0.06 for the same quarter a year ago.
  • During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 NAPCO repurchased 398,717 shares of its common stock pursuant to a repurchase plan, which provides for repurchasing up to one million shares of the Company's common stock.
  • Debt, net of cash, has been reduced by $27.0 million from $35.9 million to $8.9 million since acquiring Marks in August of 2008.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, said, "Despite one of the most severe winters on record for the Northeast, which is our largest geographic market, NAPCO turned in solid revenue growth of 4% and an increase in recurring revenue from our Alarm Division of 46%. Our investments in the introduction and marketing of a number of new and exciting products with recurring revenue streams are paying off. As those products become a larger part of our revenue mix, our business model will become increasingly more resilient to external forces such as poor weather. Furthermore, our gross margins, which have improved to more than 30% for the first nine months of the year, will continue to expand, driving our earnings and creating value for shareholders."

Mr. Soloway added, "During the third quarter, we successfully launched our CDMA version of the Starlink™ alarm communicator, featuring Verizon service. This effort will considerably expand our footprint and fuel substantial future growth in the lucrative subscription-based alarm communication category as dealers continue the process of replacing obsolete 2G radios. In June, NAPCO will take another step in growing our service revenue business when we launch an impressive, full line of commercial fire alarm communicators, also under the StarLink brand name. This entry will firmly place us in the burgeoning fire alarm communicator category as the traditional phone line communication of fire alarms is replaced with more advanced and reliable CDMA signaling."

Mr. Soloway continued, "We continue to drive sales growth in the education vertical, driven by our innovative suite of LockDown™ access control locking solutions. From the cost-effective LocDown intruder lock, by Marks, which enables a teacher to lock their classroom door safely from inside the classroom and out of harm's way, to Alarm Lock's Networx™ wireless  locking systems, which can lock-down an entire campus in seconds, we are playing a significant role in protecting our schools in the event of an active-shooter incident.

"Another rapidly growing vertical that is generating considerable increases in door-locking volume is the health care market. Our Marks LifeSaver™ locking line provides unique, effective anti-ligature protection for behavioral institutions, veteran's hospitals, interrogation rooms and holding cells. The innovative design of this product helps institutions prevent patients from harming themselves."

Mr. Soloway stated, "As the Connected Home category continues to grow, traditional residential alarm dealers are expanding their offerings beyond the installation of security alarms. The iBridge™ Connected Home Dealer Program targets those dealers who want to take advantage of this connected home revolution, and provides installation companies with home automation focused technical and sales training, customized sales materials, web-page content, internet advertising and consumer leads. We experienced a 27% increase in the number of iBridge Connected Home dealers during the quarter."

Mr. Soloway concluded: "Looking ahead, as we enter our fourth fiscal quarter, which has historically been our strongest in terms of revenues and net income, we are committed to leveraging our substantial earnings power and the ability to execute our strategy of rolling out new, recurring revenue products that reduce seasonality in our business and drive a higher margin revenue mix.. The typically higher sales volumes in the fourth quarter generate increased profitability, covering fixed costs that remain constant throughout the year. We expect this trend to continue and are looking forward to significant growth in both revenues and profitability as we head into the end of this fiscal year."
