ADDvantage Technologies Announces Results
for the Fiscal First Quarter of 2016
- - -

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, February 9, 2016 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its financial results for the three month period ended December 31, 2015.
 
“We continued to experience a general weakness related to equipment sales in the Cable TV and Telco segments, which negatively impacted our revenues during the fiscal first quarter of 2016.  Despite the lower sales in the quarter, we continued to manage all of our expenses in order to maintain a positive net income for the quarter,” said David Humphrey, President and CEO of ADDvantage Technologies. “We are encouraged by recent signs of improvement in the Telco industry and remain optimistic that sales opportunities will materialize in the near term. Furthermore, we are working diligently to explore all opportunities to expand in the Cable TV segment, both in products and services offered to our customers. In addition, we recently acquired a business based in Tennessee that provides cable television equipment repairs as well as sales of equipment. This new location will allow us to further support our Cable Television customers in the Ohio Valley and Central Atlantic regions of the U.S.”
 
“While we are not pleased with this quarter’s results, we are confident that our dedicated sales team and strong balance sheet position enables us to adapt to changing market dynamics, so we can benefit from opportunities in the market. We also continue to work with an investment bank to identify strategic acquisition targets that could further establish our presence in the broader telecommunications industry,” concluded Mr. Humphrey.

Consolidated sales decreased 24% to $8.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared with $10.8 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in sales resulted from a $1.8 million and $0.7 million decrease in sales in the Cable TV segment and Telco segment, respectively, compared to the prior year.

Consolidated operating, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 13%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, from $3.1 million for the same period last year.  This decrease was due to $0.5 million in Telco segment expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in Cable TV segment expenses.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2015, was $24 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period of 2014.

Consolidated EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2015, was $0.4 million compared with $1.1 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014.

Cash and cash equivalents were $6.7 million as of December 31, 2015, compared with $6.1 million as of September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, inventory was $23.0 million, compared with $23.6 million as of September 30, 2015.

The information in this announcement may include forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements.  These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from these statements.  A complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties is contained in the Company’s reports and documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Management believes providing EBITDA in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s ongoing continuing operations and prospects for the future and it is a metric used by the financial community as a method of measuring our financial performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses.  Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance.  EBITDA, as calculated in the table below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  In additions, EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
