NAPCO Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Results


AMITYVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSSC), one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-tech electronic security devices that are fueling the Company's fast-growing recurring service revenues, as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

 Financial Highlights:

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "Our fourth quarter results reflect the challenging business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the strength of our business model. Our recurring service revenues have remained strong with a 35% growth for the fourth quarter despite these challenges. Gross margins for recurring service revenues also continued to be very strong, increasing to 83% for the quarter and 82% for the year. During the quarter we executed in three key areas: (a) driving sales growth in recurring revenue while increasing gross margins, (b) continuing to invest in exciting new technologies that will expand our recurring revenues into all segments of the Company and help keep people safe in difficult times where burglaries and homicides are on the rise across the nation and (c) continuing to tightly manage our costs. Equipment sales for the fourth quarter for both commercial and residential applications were impacted as alarm and locking dealers faced restrictions on building and home access. However, recent feedback from our distributors indicates increased sell-thru of our product to our dealers. Home sales in many non-urban areas are also increasing. The Company views both of these as positive signs.

We were very pleased with the recurring revenue growth, especially from fire radios, which helped fuel the increase in recurring gross margins this past quarter.  We continue to see the retirement of POTS or copper telephone land lines which presents an opportunity for installers to upgrade older fire systems, and for new projects to include cellular or other system technologies. The government no longer requires that POTS lines be maintained and we are seeing a shift of the millions of fire alarms in the market transitioning to cellular communications.  Another opportunity for the Company is the upgrade and replacement of current cellular alarm reporting systems to meet the deadline for 3G and CDMA cellular sunset cutoffs over the next 18 months.

Our iSecure all-inclusive cellular alarm system, which was introduced at the end of December, continues to show promise. This new small business or residential security & connected home system offers the security dealer the lowest upfront equipment cost in the industry, easy installation, fast programming from a smart-phone or tablet, and a quick return on investment. Despite its low cost, iSecure offers all of the "bells and whistles" of an expensive component alarm system such as touch-screens, connected home devices and services, doorbell and video cameras, wireless carbon monoxide, smoke and glass break detectors, and extra keypads, key fobs and panics. This feature-rich system offers up to 80 intrusion and fire zones and can accommodate up to 96 users. While we are in the early stages of iSecure, the initial reaction to this product offering has been very favorable. Every iSecure is sold with a built-in Starlink radio, which gives the Company an opportunity to obtain recurring revenue when the alarm professional activates these radios on our network.

School security remains a focus for the Company. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities, are moving forward on school security projects as the summer months, with the absence of students, remains the ideal time for security upgrades. As a result, we have seen significant quoting activities for schools in certain geographic parts of the country. There are over 100,000 K-12 schools and over 10,000 colleges and universities with less than 10% of these institutions having adequate protection from an active shooter or intruder.  With a full suite of products and solutions, NAPCO is uniquely positioned to meet the security needs of schools, as well as houses of worship and other places where people congregate.

In the upcoming fiscal year, the Company expects to introduce Air Access®, our new cellular access control (cloud- hosted) product line. Easy to install and operate, this cloud-based access locking system utilizes easy-to-connect cellular communication and does not have to be connected to the customer's IT system. The benefits to the end user include no required investments in IT personnel or hardware, no need for onsite data base, backups or software updates and it can be managed from any device.  This is designed to generate recurring monthly revenue for locking dealers and, for the first time, generate recurring monthly revenue for the Company from its locking and access control divisions.

Mr. Soloway concluded, "Our focused commitment continues to be identifying new, large growth opportunities that will add incremental recurring service revenue sales and profitability to the Company while we continue to manage our costs and optimize our working capital. Our focus on these new areas provided a significant buffer to the COVID-19 impact on the Company's equipment sales. Before the COVID-19 pandemic began to significantly impact our country in March, NAPCO had achieved 23 consecutive quarters of year-over-year record sales. COVID-19 broke that streak. However, I am confident we will emerge well-positioned for the economic recovery to come and will soon start another record sales streak."
