Richard Soloway, Chairman and CEO, commented, "The third quarter of fiscal 2024 was the strongest quarter in our Company's history. Revenue was $49.3 million, which was the highest quarterly sales we ever achieved and was the fourteenth consecutive quarter of record sales for a quarterly reporting period. Our net income of $13.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $15.6 million were also quarterly record-breakers. Equipment revenue grew at 5% for the quarter, with gross margins on such sales sequentially remaining consistent at 29% each of the last two quarters. Recurring service revenues, which increased 29%, was a major contributor to the year-over-year overall sales and earnings growth and represents 40% of total revenue. Gross margin for recurring service revenues was the highest in our history, at 92% and when combined with gross margin on equipment revenues of 29%, the total gross margins for Q3 amounted to 54%, which compared to 49% for last year's Q3.

We were also pleased with the increase in the recurring revenues annual run rate, which increased to $81 million based on April 2024 recurring revenues, compared to an annual run rate of $76.5 million based on January 2024 recurring revenues.

Net income of $13.2 million, besides being a Q3 record breaker, represents 27% of our net sales. Adjusted EBITDA* of $15.6 million,  also a Q3 record, represents an Adjusted EBITDA* margin of 32%.

Our balance sheet continues to get stronger, with cash and cash equivalents, other investments and marketable securities increasing 31% to $87.5 million as compared to $66.7 million at June 30, 2023, We have no debt and the net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 was also strong, amounting to $31.0 million.

Our Alarm Lock and Marks locking hardware lines continue to see growth in school and classroom security, healthcare, and retail loss-prevention, as well as in multi-dwelling commercial and residential applications. Locking sales in Q3 grew approximately 16% compared to last year and approximately 10% compared to Q2 and represents 66% of hardware sales. We continue to remain focused on further penetrating each of these markets.

We recently announced the introduction of Prima by NAPCO, a new All-in-One Panel for security, fire, video and connected home. Our goal is for Prima to address an important mass segment of the security market, including residential and small business systems. With built-in Wi-Fi/cellular radio communications, customer alert notifications, and video and smart home subscription options for each -installed system, the security dealer, as well as the Company, can add more recurring-revenue generating accounts.

NAPCO's record-breaking results for Q3 of fiscal year 2024, was primarily the result of the continued growth and profitability from recurring revenues as well as the strong sales from our Alarm Lock and Marks locking product lines. Radio sales in Q3 improved over Q2, increasing by approximately 2%. We expect radio sales to continue to be a key contributor to our hardware sales and continue to lead to the continued growth of our highly profitable recurring revenues."

Mr. Soloway concluded, "We are nine months through fiscal 2024 and while we have already generated net income of $36.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA* of $43.5 million and our Adjusted EBITDA* margin is now 31%, there is more work to be done.  While we continue to be  encouraged with the gross margin for hardware sales of 29%, we believe this could improve further in Q4 and beyond . Our strong net income and Adjusted EBITDA* margins indicate the financial strength of our business. As such, we are pleased to continue our dividend program and we will be paying another dividend of $0.10 per share on June 24, 2024. As always, we will strive to accomplish our goal of continued financial strength, product innovation, technical superiority, and strong profitability, for the balance of fiscal 2024 and beyond".

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, non-cash stock-based expense, non-recurring legal expense, other non-recurring income and depreciation and amortization expense.

Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. The presentation of this information is not meant to be a substitute for the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures set forth above.
