FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HICKOK INCORPORATED REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

CLEVELAND, OH, NOVEMBER 12, 2018. Hickok Incorporated (OTC Pink: HICKA), a Cleveland-based holding company serving diverse markets, today reported results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, sales were $19.8 million compared with $10.9 million in the same period last year, an increase of 82%. In this same period, the Company recorded operating income of $2.5 million compared with operating income of $1.4 million in the same period last year, an increase of 75%. The Company’s net income in this period was $1.5 million, or $0.48 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $0.6 million, or $0.18 per fully diluted share last year, an increase of 161% in net income. The increases in sales, operating income and net income were primarily a result of the acquisition of CAD Enterprises, Inc. (“CAD”) effective July 1, 2018.

The Company previously announced it sold certain assets comprising its Test and Measurement business segment effective June 1, 2018 to Hickok Waekon, LLC in exchange for shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a one-time loss on the sale of the business segment of $1.2 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, sales were $45.2 million compared with $21.5 million in the same period last year, an increase of 111%. The Company’s operating income in this period was $4.9 million compared with operating income of $3.0 million in the same period last year, an increase of 65%. In this same period, net income after recording the one-time loss on the sale of the business segment was $2.3 million, or $0.71 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.56 per fully diluted share last year. Excluding the $1.2 million one-time loss on the sale of the business segment, adjusted net income in this period was $3.4 million compared with net income of $1.7 million last year, an increase of 98%. The increases in sales, operating income, net income and adjusted net income were primarily a result of the acquisitions of CAD effective July 1, 2018 and Air Enterprises effective June 1, 2017.

The Company previously announced it had changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31, effective October 1, 2017. The change in the Company’s fiscal year has not impacted the Company’s results for the period ended September 30, 2018.

The Company has included adjusted net income because we believe this information is useful for our investors to understand the results of our operations for the quarter in light of the disposition of the Test and Measurement business segment. Adjusted net income should not be regarded as an alternative or replacement to any measurement of performance under GAAP.
