VICON REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE
THIRD QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. - August 12, 2015 - Vicon Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT: VII), a global producer of video management systems, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Eric Fullerton, Vicon’s CEO said, “The Company has completed its third combined fiscal quarter since its merger with IQinVision on August 29, 2014. The Company’s financial results for the quarter showed a marked improvement over results for the second quarter and were in line with restructuring plan expectations. Revenues increased 14% over the second quarter ended March 31, 2015 to $11.7 million and the Company anticipates continued growth in its historically strong fourth quarter."
“Revenue improvements came principally from the Americas market segment where we started rebuilding the IQeye camera brand and enhanced our product offerings. Our EMEA market segment held its own for the quarter as we complete our critical restructuring efforts geared toward forming a leaner business unit. The Company has an aggressive product and market development plan for fiscal 2016 that should well position Vicon for long term growth. As previously stated, Vicon management continues to strengthen relationships in its key sales channels, align its product offerings to better serve its markets and focus on growing new market segments.”
Mr. Fullerton concluded, “We are pleased with the Company’s progress for the quarter and plan to close the year with improved operating results and a much stronger market position. I am excited about our positioning and market strategy going into fiscal 2016 and believe we are on track to execute our long term growth vision.”

The Company evaluates performance based on net loss and per share results excluding stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and merger-related expenses, which it believes is useful to investors in evaluating ongoing results since they are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature. Reporting these adjusted results is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The following table provides a reconciliation of reported net loss and related per share results to adjusted non-GAAP net loss and related per share results.
