Today : Tuesday 14 December 2010

ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY) today announced its results for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was $11.7 million compared to $10.2 million in the same period a year ago, an increase of 15%. Sales of new equipment increased $2.2 million, or 35%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net refurbished equipment sales decreased 26%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.5 million for the same period last year. Service revenue remained substantially unchanged at $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 19% to $0.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, as compared to $0.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2010, revenue increased 12% to $47.3 million, compared to $42.2 million, for the same period last year.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2010 increased 39% to $4.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, as compared to $3.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the twelve months of fiscal 2009.

Ken Chymiak, President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with the increased revenues in fiscal year 2010 as compared to last year, especially in light of the difficult economic environment. Our financial strength has improved due to the increased revenues, reductions in inventory and reductions in our operating expenses. The overall market demand for cable television equipment continues to be flat as a result of the difficult economic environment and the traditional United States cable companies are still under pressure as new housing starts and consumer spending are still down. We continue to manage our business more effectively and reduce inventory levels so they are in line with current and expected levels of customer demand.

"Our business has generated increased sales in certain product categories. This includes greater demand for headend equipment from MSOs as they add channels to their systems and upgrade equipment to provide HD programming; and the expansion into new products as we ramped up sales under the new master distribution agreement with Fujitsu Frontech. We also continued to capitalize on growing demand from customers and cable equipment distributors in Latin America. Though our non-U.S. sales were less than 15% of total sales in fiscal 2010, the demand from Latin America has been a positive trend for our business.

"The overall financial health of our business has strengthened in fiscal 2010 compared to the end of fiscal 2009, as we reduced inventory by $5.8 million to $27.4 million, increased cash reserves to $8.7 million from $0.7 million and reduced debt by $2.0 million to $13.9 million. As we look ahead into fiscal 2011 and beyond, I am cautiously optimistic that the strengthening of the overall market conditions will help drive continued growth. However, we will continue to adjust our business model to be in line with market conditions and changes in our vendor relationships. In addition, we are looking to enter into additional vendor and strategic relationships that could help bolster our customer base in certain sales and distribution channels," concluded Mr. Chymiak.
