LRAD® Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results

 

Mass Notification and International Revenues Drive 15% Growth

 

SAN DIEGO, CA – February 5, 2015 - LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world’s leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs) and advanced mass notification systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, ended December 31, 2014.

 

First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

 

 

Revenues: First quarter 2015 revenues grew by $562,000 or 15% to $4.4 million, compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, driven by continued revenue growth in international markets.

 

 

Net Income: Net Income totaled $506,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, an increase of $374,000, compared to $132,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, reported during the first quarter of 2014.

 

 

Balance Sheet: Cash totaled $20.1 million at December 31, 2014, a decline of $3.8 million from the $23.9 million reported at September 30, 2014, in part due to the investment of $3.1 million in short and long-term marketable securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Working Capital decreased to $25.8 million from $27.7 million over the same period as nearly $2.5 million of marketable securities purchased during the quarter were classified as long-term.

 

“Asian Navy, international public safety, and several follow-on mass notification orders drove 15% revenue growth during what is traditionally our slowest seasonal quarter,” commented Tom Brown, President and CEO of LRAD Corporation.

 

Select Operating and Business Highlights

 

 

Omnidirectional product line revenues have grown to 15% of total revenues and doubled compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company received multiple follow-on orders from cities and towns in Asia during the quarter.

 

 

Shipped the first units of the newly launched LRAD 450XL to the New York National Guard for vehicle applications. The LRAD 450XL uses an enhanced, patent pending technology to provide the output of a unit almost twice its size and weight.

 

 

Shipped the first units of the newly launched LRAD 500RX for Asian Coast Guard installations. The LRAD 500RX can be remotely operated across any IP network, enabling system operators to respond to potential threats from a safe location while creating a completely unmanned security solution.

 

 

Participated in a number of trade shows during the quarter, including the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) in Washington, D.C., International WorkBoat Show & Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA, as well as displaying mass notification products at IAEM-USA 2014 Annual Conference & EMEX in San Antonio, Texas.

 

 

 
 

 

 

“Fiscal 2015 is off to a good start as we continue to make progress in each of our mass notification, public safety, defense, homeland security and wildlife business areas,” Brown continued. “We’re also pursuing large opportunities in the mass notification market and with the United States militaries. While these opportunities are taking time to develop, we believe we are well positioned with the right product offerings and anticipate further progress throughout this year.”
