Richard Soloway, Chairman and President said, "This past quarter's performance reflected exceptional synergies across the Company's Divisions and operational efforts. From the investments we've made in driving our recurring revenue generating and high-margin product lines, to efficient improvements in our overall gross margin, these have all come together to deliver a nice increase in both sales and profit."

 

Mr. Soloway continued: "Our integrated access control and wireless locking solution, marketed by our Continental and Alarm Lock Divisions, continues to drive exceptional sales growth in the higher education vertical. Q2 was no exception, as we saw a large sale and installation of our integrated access control solution sold to a major Midwestern college. This product solution has been a success because by combining traditional campus-wide access control, with more cost-effective wireless locking access points, colleges and universities save thousands of dollars in installation and hardware costs, while increasing a school's security level."

 

"The innovative, new ArchiTech Networx™ Designer Wireless Access Control Platform was launched this quarter. This product combines the capabilities of advanced, large-scale access control with high-end, architecturally aesthetic wireless locking hardware. The product targets the multi-tenant building and luxury office space markets where customers demand high-security access control with an institutional look. Our inaugural sale occurred in December at a 400 unit apartment building in New Jersey."

 

Mr. Soloway added: "Generating substantial subscription-based, recurring monthly revenue for our Company, sales of Starlink™ 3G/4G Radios continue to build nicely, with an increase of 53% for the quarter. Alarm dealers are in the process of replacing older 2G radios, as service providers continue to decommission these networks in favor of newer 3G/4G service. The NAPCO Intrusion Division will be expanding its market share and presence, in the lucrative alarm communicator category, by launching a CDMA mobile protocol version of its Starlink radio, featuring Verizon service."

 

Mr. Soloway continued: "The Connected Home boom continues to change the way people interact with their home systems, of all kinds, and the iBridge™ Connected Home Dealer Program targets traditional alarm dealers who want to take advantage of this growing revolution. The first mass, security and connected home automation dealer program of its kind, the program provides installation companies with home automation focused sales and technical training, customized sales materials, web-page content, internet advertising and consumer leads. Impressive sales growth is being driven on our iBridge Connected Home product line as we sign up more and more dealers onto the program."

 

 
 

 

Mr. Soloway concluded: "We continue to demonstrate our substantial earnings power and the ability to execute our strategy of rolling out new, recurring revenue products that reduce seasonality in our business and drive a higher margin revenue mix. Our excellent second quarter performance is indicative of NAPCO's operating leverage and gives us confidence as we move into the seasonally strong second half of the year."
