The Company will be issuing a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on March 22, 2024 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2024. This represents a 25% increase over the previous dividend of $0.08 paid on December 22, 2023.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "The second quarter of fiscal 2024 was the strongest quarter in our Company’s history. Revenue was $47.5 million, which was the highest quarterly sales we ever achieved and was the thirteenth consecutive quarter of record sales for a quarterly reporting period. Our net income of $12.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $15.1 million were also quarterly record-breakers. Equipment revenue improved, growing 6% for the quarter, with gross margins on such sales sequentially increasing to 29% from 28% last quarter. Recurring service revenues, which increased 25%, was also a major contributor to the year-over-year overall sales and earnings growth. Gross margin for recurring service revenues was once again strong, at 90% and when combined with gross margin on equipment revenues of 29%, the total gross margins for Q2 amounted to 53%, which compared to 34% for last year's Q2. We were particularly pleased to see the growth in equipment revenues, which was primarily attributable to the continued strength of locking revenue in addition to the improvement of intrusion sales.

We were also pleased with the increase in the recurring revenues annual run rate, which increased to $76.5 million based on January 2024 recurring revenues, compared to an annual run rate of $72.5 million based on October 2023 recurring revenues.


Net income of $12.6 million, besides being a Q2 record breaker, represents 27% of our net sales. Adjusted EBITDA* of $15.1 million,  also a Q2 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 18% to $79 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 six months ended December 31, 2023 was also strong, amounting to $18.7 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, growing approximately 10% compared to last year and approximately 18% compared to Q1. And locking sales once again represented 61% of hardware sales in Q2. 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. We anticipate that Prima will 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 Q2 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 Q2 improved over Q1, increasing by approximately 63%. While such sales were still 13% below the radio sales for Q2 last year, when the impending 3G Verizon sunset was rapidly approaching, the increase over last quarter was significant. 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 halfway through fiscal 2024 and while we have already generated net income of $23.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $28.0 million and our Adjusted EBITDA margin is now 31%, there is more work to be done.  While we are encouraged with the improved gross margin for hardware sales of 29%, we believe this could improve further as the fiscal year progresses. 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 March 22, 2024. This represents a 25% increase over the previously paid dividend on December 22, 2023 of $0.08. As always, we will strive to accomplish our goal of continued financial strength, product innovation, technical superiority, and strong profitability, for the rest of fiscal 2024 and beyond".

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP measures are included in this press release, including non-GAAP operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share (diluted). 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. Non-GAAP operating income does not include amortization of intangibles or stock-based compensation expense.

By excluding these charges our non-GAAP results provide information to management and investors that is useful in assessing NAPCO's core operating performance and in comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, do not have a standardized meaning. 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.
