Director of Investor Relations

Thank you. Good morning. I'm Patrick McKillop, Director of Investor Relations for NAPCO Security Technologies. Thank you for joining us today for today's conference call to discuss our financial results for our fiscal third quarter 2022. By now, all of you should have had the opportunity to review the press release discussing the results. If you have not, a copy of the release is available in the investor relations section of our website, www.napcosecurity.com. On the call today is Richard Soloway, President and CEO of NAPCO Security Technologies, and Kevin Buchel, Executive Vice President and CFO. Before we begin, let me take a moment to read the forward-looking statement. This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the growth drivers of the company's business, such as school security products and recurring revenue services, potential market opportunities, the benefits of our recurring revenue products to customers and dealers, our ability to control expenses and costs, and expected annual run rate for SAS recurring monthly revenue. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, such risk factors described in our SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K. Other unknown, unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. We should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in today's press release and this conference call is as of today's date unless otherwise stated, and we undertake no duty to update such information except as required under applicable law. I'll turn the call over to Dick in a moment, but before I do, I just wanted to mention a few things on the IR front. We will be attending the Needham Technology and Media Conference in New York on May the 17th. Also, we'll be attending the 22nd Annual B. Reilly Securities Conference Institutional Investor Conference in LA on May 25th and 26th, and then followed by Stifel's Cross-Sector Insights Conference in Boston on June 7th through the 9th. And finally, on August 10th through 11th, we will be attending the Canaccord Genuity Growth Conference, also in Boston. Investor outreach is crucial, especially for small-cap companies such as NAPCO, and I would like to thank all of those folks that assist us in these conferences and marketing trips. With that out of the way, let me turn the call over to Richard Soloway, President and CEO of NAPCO Security Technologies. Dick, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Patrick. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our conference call. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our results. We are pleased to report a fiscal Q3 2022 record sales of $35.9 million Our results reflect our sixth consecutive quarter of sales growth. Recurring revenue continued to grow at a very strong rate, and the annual run rate is now approximately $50 million based on April 2022 recurring revenues. Our balance sheet remains strong with our cash balances in excess of $47 million, and we have no debt. We continue to focus on capitalizing on key industry trends, which include wireless fire and intrusion alarms, full security solutions, plus enterprise access control systems, and architectural locking products. The management team here at NAPCO continues to focus on key metrics of growth, profits, and returns on equity and controlling costs. These metrics are important for us as well as our shareholders. We continue to execute our business strategy and our interests are aligned with our shareholders as senior management at NAPCO owns approximately 21% of the equity. Before I go into greater detail, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Kevin Bichelle. He will provide an overview of our fiscal third quarter results, and then I'll be back with more on our strategies and outlook. Kevin, the floor is yours.
