Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "Our focus in marketing innovative security products aimed at strong growth markets, which provide NAPCO with high gross margin and recurring service revenue (RSR) growth, continues to drive our Company to record profitability and sales levels. This past Q2 marked our 22nd consecutive quarter of year over year sales growth and as importantly, saw our net income increase by 25% to deliver record second quarter profitability. We will continue to prioritize our resources on driving these opportunity areas.

As a leader in the wireless cellular alarm and IoT communicator category, our StarLink® line of solutions continues to build market share providing us with a 40% year-over-year ("YOY") increase in subscription-based, recurring service revenue for this past quarter. With the addition of our new AT&T LTE StarLink® line of universal fire, intrusion alarm and IoT communicators, this gives the StarLink product line the ability to communicate on both the vast Verizon LTE and AT&T LTE networks. StarLink provides security dealers with one of the broadest LTE service coverage areas in the Wireless Cellular Alarm Communicator Category. Also, capitalizing on the recent need for millions of landline-connected fire alarm control panels to upgrade to wireless, cellular or cellular/IP based communications technology, StarLink Fire® communicators, with their unique Panel-Powered Technology®, continue to generate sales growth.

Our award-winning StarLink Connect® IoT solution, which gives dealers the ability to add Smart Home services to millions of existing alarm installations across the country, is also experiencing sales and RSR growth and beginning to build good market share. This RSR-generating, subscription-based service offers consumers the ability to use an app to remotely operate their security systems, lighting, locks, thermostats, and video cameras, from any smart device. StarLink Connect also offers our dealers the opportunity to increase the recurring monthly income stream from their customers, by trading them up from regular alarm system monitoring to Smart Home services, adding value to their account base.

FireLink®, an innovative all-in-one, 8-32 zone fire alarm control panel with a built-in cellular LTE, StarLink-powered alarm communicator is also generating YOY sales and RSR growth. FireLink comes pre-configured and pre-activated saving considerable installation time and money for the dealer to replace an aging landline-connected fire panel and importantly, our model insures that every FireLink control panel sold will automatically generate RSR as well as hardware sales to our Company."

Mr. Soloway added, "Future plans will focus on continuing to accelerate RSR growth, with our Company leveraging its StarLink cellular communication technology into additional product categories. As an example, Q2 saw the beginning of our rollout, of NAPCO's new iSecure Cellular Security Alarm and Smart Home product line. Since iSecure utilizes the same subscription-based, wireless cellular technology as StarLink, it is part of our Company's recurring service revenue growth strategy. This summer we expect to be launching a line of cloud-based, wireless electronic locks and enterprise access control, utilizing StarLink Cellular Communicator technology. This will provide us with an innovative, incremental subscription and cloud based income stream from the large access control and locking market segments, providing valuable new services to end-user customers.

NAPCO continues to perform a vital role in protecting colleges, universities and K-12 schools, across the country, with its broad, integrated line of security products, which uniquely offer specialized education vertical product solutions. Our commercial Divisions: Alarm Lock Access Control Locks, Marks Architectural Hardware and Continental Enterprise-Class Access Control, continued to show a significant increase in market presence in the Education market vertical. With a strong array of integrated, school venue designed security solutions, along with the administering of the highly successful SAVI or School Access-control Vulnerability Index and auditing system, NAPCO continues to lead the way in elevating security levels at our nation's schools. NAPCO dealers and integrators are trained in systematically evaluating any school facility's security level and then addressing any deficiency with school-specific security solutions. This approach and portfolio of product solutions is also increasingly being used in any public venues, in addition to educational facilities, concerned with addressing the growing threat of violent active-shooter events."  

Mr. Soloway concluded, "We will continue our commitment to driving strong levels of high recurring service revenue growth and gross margin expansion. We are encouraged by our ongoing performance . Our future strategy and resources will continue to be devoted to launching new product entrants in high growth and profitability markets, which should continue to propel NAPCO's future sales growth for the balance of Fiscal 2020 and beyond."
