Cash Provided by Operating Activities for the quarter increased 78% to $6.6 million as compared to $3.7 million last year. Cash Provided by Operating Activities for the fiscal year increased 123% to $23.0 million as compared to $10.3 million last year.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "NAPCO delivered an outstanding, record-setting performance in Q4 as we generated the highest sales and net income, for a Q4 and a full fiscal year, in our Company’s history. Our recurring service revenues have remained very strong, achieving 43% growth for the fourth quarter as compared to the same period a year ago and have a prospective annual run rate of $40.1 million based on July 2021 recurring revenues. Gross margin for recurring service revenue continues to get stronger, increasing to 87% for the quarter, which compared to 83% for the same period last year. The robust growth in recurring service revenue and the associated gross margin as well as sales of the Starlink radios (which generate the recurring service revenues) continues to be primarily attributable to our commercial intrusion and fire alarm business, which was not significantly affected by COVID-19 as commercial buildings must be kept secure. Additionally, the commercial fire alarm business is a "mandated, non-discretionary business" which means, in order to receive a certificate of occupancy for a building, a fire alarm system is mandatory and must always function in compliance with fire codes. Because of the essential nature and high profitability of this sector, the commercial fire alarm business continues to be one of the key areas on which we focus our resources.

The strong performance of our 4th quarter and fiscal year was accomplished despite a continuation of the challenging global logistics and supply chain environments. NAPCO remains focused on aggressively managing these logistical challenges to ensure that we remain well positioned to meet the needs of our customers. Our balance sheet continues to be very strong, with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities increasing to $40.2 million at June 30, 2021, and cash from operating activities for the fiscal year increasing 123% to $23.0 million. In addition, we continued our efforts to effectively and strategically reduce inventory levels and finished the fiscal year with a $9.3 million reduction in inventory.


With school security a paramount concern to many municipalities, our fully integrated technologies for the school security market continues to remain a top priority especially given the healthy margins those products generate. During, the COVID-19 pandemic we have experienced postponements of planned security upgrades but did not suffer a significant number of cancellations. With schools starting to re- open, we expect to see an uptick in activity in this sector.

School security products typically generate strong gross margins and the delay of these projects impacted our gross margins throughout fiscal 2021. The increase in sales of our Starlink radios (the hardware), which generate lower gross margins, also impacted our gross margins throughout fiscal 2021, but also lead to the very profitable recurring service revenue. With the aforementioned strong radio sales combined with delays in school security projects, what we saw in the 4th quarter as well as the full fiscal year, was a shift in product mix, with recurring revenue now representing 30% of total revenue as compared to 24% last year and door locking devices representing 38% of total revenue as compared to 45% last year. While this product mix shift, as well as the lower overhead absorption rate resulting from the previously mentioned reduction of inventories, resulted in lower hardware margins, the overall gross margin in Q4 increased to 43% vs. 35% last year and for the full fiscal year increased to 44% vs. 43% last year.

Fiscal 2021 saw the introduction of Air Access®, our new cellular, cloud-hosted access control product line. These products will allow access control integrators and locking professionals to build a recurring revenue business for themselves just like our burglar and fire alarm dealers do. While still in the very early stages, we expect this product line to provide the Company the opportunity to generate recurring service revenue from each of our divisions: alarms & connectivity, locking and access control."

Mr. Soloway concluded, "Our record-setting revenue and profitability in Q4 and fiscal 2021, along with continued strong recurring revenue margins, gives us tremendous momentum as we head into fiscal 2022. I am proud of how the NAPCO team responded to the challenges brought on by COVID-19 and of our resiliency and ability to execute even during difficult and uncertain times. We are excited for the future prospects for growth as our Company continues its efforts to expand our recurring revenue product offerings into all of our product lines. We remain focused on generating strong revenue growth as well as increased profitability. As we look to fiscal 2022 and beyond, NAPCO is well positioned for long-term growth and profitability expansion."
