Total Revenue of $13.3 Million and Net Income of $0.14 per diluted share

 

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, August 10, 2010 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010.

 

Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 was $13.3 million compared to $9.1 million in the same period a year ago, an increase of 45%.  Sales of new equipment increased $3.4 million, or 57%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Net refurbished equipment sales increased 39%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.8 million same period last year.  Service revenue remained flat at $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

 

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 113% to $1.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to $0.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, revenue increased to $35.6 million from $32.1 million, for the same period last year.

 

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 was $3.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to $2.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

 

Ken Chymiak, President and CEO, commented, “We reported strong third quarter results, which were driven by a $4.1 million increase in sales of new and refurbished equipment.  This increase is primarily attributable to our customers’ demand for headend equipment needed to add channels to their cable systems or upgrade their equipment to provide HD programming, an overall equipment supply shortage in the market, which we were able to meet utilizing our On Hand On Demand business model, and an increase in sales to international customers, either directly or indirectly via our alliance partners.  Equipment sales also benefited from our new master distribution agreement with Fujitsu Frontech, which started generating sales in the third quarter. While these are positive trends, our large and small multiple system operators (“MSO”) customers in the U.S. continued to delay significant plant expansions and bandwidth upgrades as part of their continued efforts to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures.

 

“As we look ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic regarding consumer trends and will continue to focus on tapping into new or developing markets through our reseller and distribution partnerships, while managing our inventory and costs,” concluded Mr. Chymiak.
