The company announced that net sales for the quarter increased 4% to a third quarter record $26.2 million as compared to $25.1 million for the same quarter last year. Net sales for the nine months increased 7% to $78.4 million as compared to $73.3 million for the same period last year.

Recurring service revenue for the nine months increased 39% to $17.4 million as compared to $12.5 million for the same period last year. Recurring service revenue now has a prospective annual run rate of $25.4 million based on March 2020 recurring revenues.

Net income for the quarter increased 16% to a third quarter record of $3.6 million from $3.1 million a year ago.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "We are encouraged by our Q3 record sales and profit performance, despite our having to navigate through the headwinds created by COVID-19. Importantly, since over 80% of our sales are conducted in the commercial security sector and thousands of our dealers are deemed an "essential service" during the pandemic, this provided our company with some level of insulation to the fallout the economy is experiencing. Also, a large majority of our recurring service, subscription-based income stream is comprised of non-discretionary, commercial fire and intrusion alarm communication, largely mandated by local code and laws. Going forward, Napco should be well positioned for growth, as we manage the challenges wrought by COVID-19.

In addition to its successes in the security and fire markets, NAPCO plays a role in the vital health care vertical market through its Alarm Lock, Marks and Continental Access Control Divisions. Alarm Lock access control locks and Marks exit devices, push/pull locks, with anti-microbial finishes are installed in thousands of hospitals across the U.S. Alarm Lock markets the DL-2700, which is a technologically advanced lock, with all of the advanced features of the most sophisticated access control systems, all encased in a portable, easily-installed lock. At the end of March, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers was outfitting a temporary field hospital in the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago and we are honoured that they selected our DL-2700 locks to provide access control at that location."

Mr. Soloway concluded, "We are now in our fiscal fourth quarter and with shelter in place directives continually changing, we will continue to carefully monitor and fine-tune the best ways to service our customers during a time that our business, like countless others, will likely encounter market challenges that can neither be fully anticipated nor quantified., As we make progress against COVID-19 and look forward to the resurgence of our economy, we believe we are well-positioned in the non-discretionary, commercial, high gross margin sector, of the security industry, to weather the storm. We believe our continued strong levels of recurring service growth and accompanying expansion of our profitability should continue into the future. We will continue our focused commitment to identifying new, large growth opportunities to continue to add incremental recurring service revenue sales and income to Napco."
