AMITYVILLE, N.Y., May 5, 2014 -- 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, for over 30 years, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Highlights:
 
●
Net sales for the third quarter were $17.2 million, an increase of 1% over last year’s third quarter. Net sales for the nine months were $52.9 million, up 7% from $49.6 million for the comparable period last year.
 
●
Recurring revenue for the third quarter and nine months increased 95% and 94% respectively and grew sequentially by 11%.
 
●
Gross margin improved 370 basis points to 30.8% for the quarter as compared to 27.1% for the same period last year, due to a more favorable sales mix. Gross margin for the nine months improved 210 basis points to 29.2% as compared to 27.1% for the comparable period a year ago.
 
●
Adjusted EBITDA (*see table attached) for the third quarter increased 81% to $1.3 million compared to $733,000 last year and was up 87% for the nine months to $3.0 million compared to $1.6 million in the comparable year ago period.
 
●
Net Income for the third quarter increased 486% to $650,000 compared to $111,000 last year and was up $1.3 million to $1.1 million for the nine month period.
 
●
Debt, net of cash, has been reduced by $26.1 million from $35.9 million to $9.8 million since acquiring Marks in August of 2008, with $3.4 million of this reduction occurring during the first nine months of this fiscal year. As a result of the lower debt levels and lower interest rates, net interest expense for the nine months decreased by $148,000 or 38% to $239,000 as compared to $387,000 for the comparable period last year.
 
●
Earnings per Share (Diluted) rose 300% to $0.03 from $0.01 for the third quarter. Diluted EPS for the nine months was $0.06 compared to $(0.01) for the nine months last year, a swing of $0.07 per share.
 
Richard Soloway, NAPCO’s Chairman and President, stated, “In the quarter we saw a healthy increase in our gross margins, Adjusted EBITDA, and net income.  This was due in large part to a more favorable sales mix, with greater contributions from recurring StarLink and i-Bridge revenue as well as access control and locking products, which carry the highest margins of our product portfolio. While our top line growth was negatively impacted by harsh winter weather, which we estimate cost us roughly $1.5 million in revenues in the quarter, we believe this positive sales mix trend should continue to benefit our results going forward. As the severe weather abates and we move into our seasonally strongest quarter, our fiscal fourth quarter, we should see a return to top-line growth. Our multi-pronged effort to accelerate our revenue growth, focused on high-profile markets such as school security and the ‘Connected Home’, are picking up steam. Interest from dealers, including unprecedented levels of inquiries at major trade shows, is on the upswing and suggests to us that we are on the right path. We expect that our exceptional products, technology, and commitment to new growth-related initiatives will result in the higher levels of profitability, cash flow, and value for our shareholders.”
 
Mr. Soloway continued, “Our rollout of Project LocDown™, our school security initiative, delivered significant new business in the growing education vertical. The program provides training and certification of security integrators, leveraging proven subject matter expertise and thought leadership to help these integrators systematically and professionally evaluate school’s security programs. Then, these certified experts can recommend and sell solutions, notably from NAPCO’s Marks, Alarm Lock and Continental Access Control Divisions, to address any vulnerabilities. Sales of Starlink™ 3G/4G Radios have continued to increase due in part to a market need to replace an estimated two million 2G radios over the next few years as service providers begin to ‘sunset the older service. NAPCO’s Starlink Radio Service is one of the building blocks of recurring, subscription-based income that we have positioned NAPCO to take advantage of for growth. More and more households are eliminating their land lines and relying solely on their cellular phone service. This requires an alternate solution such as NAPCO’s Starlink Radio Service for communicating with the monitoring company.”
 
 
 
 
 
“Another key recurring revenue source for the Company, is iBridge™ Connected Home Services,” continued Mr. Soloway. “Consumer interest in controlling their security systems, thermostats, lighting, video cameras and entry locks, via smart phones and tablets, as part of a ‘Connected Home’ continues to accelerate, and we are seeing sales of NAPCO’s professional iBridge Connected Home product line grow with this demand. We launched the iBridge Connected Home Dealer Program at ISC West, North America’s largest security industry trade show. This program will target the thousands of independent security dealers in the U.S. interested in marketing the iBridge Connected Home Brand and receiving connected home automation-specific training, marketing and sales support needed to take advantage of this burgeoning product category.”
 
Financial Results
 
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased 1% to $17.3 million, as compared to $17.2 million for the same period one year ago.

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 increased 7% to $52.9 million, as compared to $49.6 million for the same period one year ago.
