REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS REVENUE - Third Quarter Sales Rise 10% and Earnings Increase $870,000 Over Prior Year AMITYVILLE, NEW YORK - MAY 6, 2004 -- NAPCO Security Systems, 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 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2004. All share related items have been adjusted to reflect the previously announced 2-for-1 stock split which was effective as of April 27, 2004. Net sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 2004 were a record $14,742,000, an increase of 10% from $13,406,000 reported for the same quarter a year earlier. The net income for the quarter was $734,000, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($136,000), or $(0.02) per fully diluted share, as restated, for the same year ago period. Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 increased 1% to a record $39,206,000 from $38,990,000 reported for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 was $1,180,000, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($174,000), or ($0.03) per fully diluted share, as restated, for the same period a year earlier. Richard Soloway, Chairman and President stated, "The record third quarter and nine months revenue results this year reflect the increasing market acceptance of NAPCO's diversified lines of advanced security product solutions, as well as the vitality of the security business in today's global climate. As the last major independent manufacturer in the industry, selling through our realigned, nationwide independent distribution channel, we have experienced strength across all of our product sectors and markets. Our higher-margin items, including access control products in particular, produced by Alarm Lock and Continental Instruments, are showing strong growth." - More - Soloway added, "Several economic factors are favorably impacting our results. Housing has been strong throughout the year and is expected to continue to be a significant driver of economic growth over the near to intermediate term. With the heightened awareness "security" occupies in the public's mind, perpetuated by daily news media, residential security is now standard, as opposed to an option in new home construction. Similarly, Homeland Defense continues to be a rising economic force as governments, both state and local, continue to secure funding and devote record spending to security projects. New regulations have seen businesses large and small following suit, stepping up their security requirements. And, these factors all cumulatively combine to increase demand for all Napco security product segments, from burglary and fire alarm systems, to electronic locks and exit alarms, to computerized integrated access control, video and ID systems." "The development of the new security technologies that protect people and property globally has long been a key Napco strength and a factor in the success and strength of the popular NAPCO, Alarm Lock and Continental security brands. Creating innovative products is the lifeblood of a high-tech enterprise and to sustain this effort, we have consistently reinvested 7% to 8% of revenues on R&D annually. As a result, many new products are launched each year such as those recently introduced at the March 2004 International Security Conference ("ISC Trade Show") in Las Vegas, one of the largest security shows in the world. Undoubtedly, NAPCO's emphasis on R&D has been a significant factor in maintaining the company's leadership market position in advanced security products and systems." As of March 31, 2004, NAPCO's balance sheet was strong. Working capital was $27.6 million and the current ratio was 4.4-to-1. The book value, revised for the recent 2-for-1 stock split, was $5.10 per share. Long term debt has been reduced to $10.2 million compared to $16.1 million at the end of last year's third quarter, a decline of $5.9 million. Lower debt and lower rates have reduced the interest expense burden significantly. Inventory is approximately $16.5 million compared to $19.2 million at the end of last year's third quarter. Mr. Soloway concluded, "NAPCO's performance in the third quarter was highly satisfying and we anticipate that our final quarter, historically the best quarter of our fiscal year, will continue to show the impact of increased volume to our bottom line. In summary, we are prepared for significant growth and very optimistic about our future." _________________________________ NAPCO Security Systems, Inc. is one of the world's leading manufacturers of technologically advanced electronic security equipment including burglary and fire alarm systems, access control products and electronic locking devices.
