ADDvantage Technologies Announces Financial Results for the
Fiscal First Quarter of 2012
- - -
Total revenue of $9.0 million and net income of $0.04 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, February 14, 2012 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three month period ended December 31, 2011.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $9.0 million compared to $9.2 million for the same period last year. Sales of new equipment were $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  New equipment sales were negatively impacted by several factors including the continued economic downturn in the cable television industry as multiple system operator (“MSO”) customers continue to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures and the negative impact of the Cisco reseller agreement entered in December 2010.  Net refurbished equipment sales were $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in net refurbished equipment sales was primarily driven by our acquisition of the net operating assets of Adams Global Communications in May 2011, which increased our first quarter revenue by $1.1 million. Service revenue was $1.2 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to $0.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Ken Chymiak, President and CEO, commented, “Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was relatively flat year-over-year, as we continue to face a weak cable equipment market and an uncertain economy.  However, we maintained our gross margins at approximately 30%, generated positive cash flow from operations of $1.8 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2012, and continued to pay down our long-term debt.  As a result, we increased our cash and cash equivalents to $12.3 million as of December 31, 2011 compared to $10.9 million as of September 30, 2011. We believe that our relatively strong financial position gives us major competitive advantages in the current market and allows us to continue to seek strategic growth opportunities and other ways that we could bring value to our shareholders.

“The core message for our customers, employees and investors as we enter 2012 is that ADDvantage Technologies is making every effort to confront its current challenges with a focus on strategic adaptation and a common-sense vision. We continue to consider changes to our business in order to return to a position of long-term growth,” concluded Mr. Chymiak.
