AMITYVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NSSC), one of the world's leading solutions providers and manufacturers of high tech electronic intrusion security, Internet of Things (IoT) connected home, video and fire systems, as well as enterprise-class access control and door locking products, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
Financial Highlights:
- Net sales for the fiscal year were a record $87.4 million, up 6% from the same period last year. Net sales for the fourth quarter were $25.7 million, up 7% from the same quarter last year.
- Recurring revenue for the fiscal year increased 65% and now has an annual run rate of $9.7 million based on June 2017 recurring revenue.
- Income before taxes for fiscal 2017 increased 2.5% to $6.3 million from $6.1 million a year ago.
- Earnings per share (diluted) for the fiscal year was $0.30, as compared to $0.31 for the same period a year ago. Earnings per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter was $0.17, as compared to $0.18 last year.
- Debt, net of cash was reduced to zero as of June 30, 2017.
Richard Soloway, President and CEO, commented, "Our investments in NAPCO's new product entries continue to solidify the Company's position for optimal future sales growth. The senior management team, who own approximately 38% of the Company's outstanding equity, have interests that are aligned with that of our shareholders, i.e., driving sales, increasing profits and generating a return on equity. I was very pleased that we were able to grow our fourth quarter sales by 7% to a record breaking $25.7 million, building on 2016's record breaking fourth quarter sales of $24.1 million. Our growing sales momentum demonstrates that increased investments in R&D, selling and marketing expenses are having a positive impact on our revenue, while still maintaining the fiscal discipline required to reduce our debt, net of cash, to zero. We believe the elevated engineering and marketing expenditure levels in fiscal 2017 will not increase significantly in fiscal 2018, which should greatly enhance our profitability as our fiscal 2017 investments generate higher sales in fiscal 2018 and beyond."
Mr. Soloway continued "We are pleased that our new product development and marketing endeavors have resulted in us growing market penetration in the burgeoning wireless cellular communicator market category, with our StarLink® Series of Universal Alarm Communicators, both for intrusion and fire product entries. The successful entry into this market segment has enabled us to generate considerable subscription-based, recurring revenue at an annualized run rate of $9.7 million, based on June's recurring revenues.
In an effort to further expand our market presence in the cellular communicator space, as well as strongly position us in the Connected Home Services business, this past year saw the major launch of StarLink Connect®. This RMR-generating, award-winning, breakthrough product enables alarm dealers to easily upgrade existing regular alarm system installations to provide consumers with a host of IoT, Smart Home services, such as remotely operating their security systems, lighting, locks, thermostats, and video cameras, from any smart device. With a market potential for tens of millions of legacy security systems to be transformed into connected home systems, StarLink Connect also provides dealers and NAPCO with a powerful incremental RMR growth opportunity.
Launched late in fiscal 2017, the StarLink Dual Path-Fire Communicator is required in municipalities such as Los Angeles, New York City and across the country, where local fire codes require both a cellular and IP communication path of alarm signals. StarLink Fire® communicators are increasingly used in commercial applications such as hotels, office, multi-tenant residential and hospital buildings and as copper landlines disappear, millions of fire alarm control panels across the U.S. will need to be upgraded to a wireless, cellular or cellular/IP based communication technology, to protect the integrity of critical fire alarm signals getting through to central stations. With the launch of StarLink Dual Path-Fire, NAPCO now markets the most extensive and feature-rich line of commercial intrusion and fire communicators in the industry."
Mr. Soloway added "Fiscal Year 2017 also included our Continental Division's launch of our new CA4K® Access Control Software Platform. This launch debuted our new Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) business model, which will enable us to generate RMR from providing access control services through our integrator dealer network to end-user customers. Targeted toward medium to large end-user organizations, this solution packages all components of access control management and administration into a service, saving companies considerable expense on IT infrastructure and dedicated Human Resources/ Security personnel.
This past year, our Company continued to play a leadership role in augmenting school safety and security preparedness by training dealers, integrators and school personnel on NAPCO's proprietary School Access-control Vulnerability Index, or SAVI, audit system. SAVI quantitatively measures a school's security level in the form of an index and takes an active approach in making security dealers and end-user school officials aware on how to significantly reduce or prevent a mass security breach. Sales have increased for our school security products, primarily for our integrated, advanced wireless locking and access control solutions, marketed by our Alarm Lock, Marks and Continental Divisions and also our high-technology alarm and communication systems, from our NAPCO Division. We take great pride in taking a leadership position in protecting colleges, universities and K-12 schools, across our country, with our advanced, integrated line of education-focused security solutions."
Mr. Soloway concluded "As a result of our considerable investment in engineering development and subsequent marketing launches in new product categories, NAPCO has greatly expanded its market potential and opportunity for future growth. We now look forward to reaping the benefits of that investment and accelerating our growth in sales and profitability. Fiscal Year 2017 was a good year to build our base for growth and we look forward to the future with the confidence that we are well-positioned for exceptional performance in Fiscal Year 2018."
