ADDvantage Technologies Announces Financial Results for the
Fiscal Third Quarter of 2014
- - -

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, August 12, 2014 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 46% to $9.3 million compared with $6.4 million for the same period ended June 30, 2013.  The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to sales from the Telco segment as a result of the Nave Communications acquisition.  Net sales for the Cable TV segment increased slightly to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $6.4 million for the same period last year.  The increase in Cable TV sales was due primarily to new equipment sales of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in refurbished equipment sales of $0.1 million.  Net sales for the Telco segment were $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and zero for the same period last year as a result of the acquisition of Nave Communications.  Net sales for the Telco segment consisted of $2.4 million of refurbished equipment sales and $0.4 million of recycling revenue.

Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 105%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.4 million for the same period last year.  This increase was primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in Cable TV segment expenses, and $1.4 million in Telco segment expenses as a result of the Nave Communications acquisition.

Net income from continuing operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net income from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period of 2013. Discontinued operations included the operations of Adams Global Communications prior to the sale on January 31, 2014.  The loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.1 million was due to the Company selling the Adams Global Communications facility on June 30, 2014.  The Company sold the facility for $1.5 million with net settlement proceeds of $1.4 million received on July 1, 2014.

EBITDA for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.7 million compared with $0.5 million for the same period in 2013.

Total net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 increased 13% to $23.8 million compared with $21.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net sales is attributable to $3.9 million in net sales from the Telco segment as a result of the Nave Communications acquisition, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in net sales from the Cable TV segment.

Net sales for the Cable TV segment decreased to $19.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $21.0 million for the same period last year due primarily to a decrease in refurbished equipment sales of $0.9 million, while new equipment sales decreased $0.1 million.  The decrease in equipment sales was due primarily to the continued decrease in plant expansions and bandwidth upgrades in the cable television industry and the absence of equipment sales as a result of Hurricane Sandy, partially offset by supplying a major MSO equipment for certain projects.
 
 

 
Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 65%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.3 million for the same period last year.  This increase was primarily due to a 0.4 million increase in Cable TV segment expenses, and $2.4 million in Telco segment expenses as a result of the Nave Communications acquisition.

Net income from continuing operations for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 was $40 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with a net income from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the same period of 2013. The decrease is primarily the result of acquisition-related expenses of $0.6 million in the Telco segment associated with the acquisition of Nave Communications and decreased operating income of $1.1 million from the Cable TV segment.

Discontinued operations included the operations of Adams Global Communications prior to the sale on January 31, 2014. The loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.6 million consisted of a pretax loss of $0.9 million from the sale of the net assets of Adams Global Communications for $2 million in cash and a pretax loss of $0.1 million from the sale of the Adams Global Communications facility for $1.5 million.

EBITDA for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.7 million compared with $2.2 million for the same period in 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents were $4.0 million as of June 30, 2014, compared with $8.5 million as of September 30, 2013.  The net settlement proceeds of $1.4 million from the sale of the Adams Global Communications facility was not in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014, as the proceeds were not received until July 1, 2014.  As of June 30, 2014, we had inventory of $23.7 million compared with $18.0 million as of September 30, 2013.  The increase in inventory was due primarily to the acquisition of Nave Communications and new inventory purchases with certain manufacturer incentives.

David Humphrey, President and CEO, commented, “During the quarter, we continued to benefit from our diversified growth strategy following the acquisition of Nave Communications, which has been a major contributor to our increase of net sales and gross profit. This new Telco segment has allowed us to scale the business, growing net sales by 46% to $9.3 million, while also creating exciting new opportunities. Since acquiring Nave in February 2014, we have reported an immediate return on investment and expect to further increase sales in the fourth quarter, consisting of refurbished equipment sales and a steady stream of recurring recycling revenue.

“We have also reported a slight growth in net sales from our existing cable equipment business, which is a reflection of our continued efforts to restructure our sales team to align us with our business objectives on the cable equipment side. Looking forward, we expect the Telco segment to increase both in net sales and EBITDA in the fourth quarter due in part to the transition of the business as a result of the acquisition,” concluded Mr. Humphrey
