Industry Landscape
Current report
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. announced a new universal baseline tariff of 10%, (which includes imports from the Dominican Republic where we manufacture most of our products) plus significant additional country-specific tariffs for select trading partners, on all U.S. imports. The reciprocal country-specific tariffs were subsequently paused for 90 days on most countries. The uncertainty around the long-term tariff rates that could be applied to our importation of products into the U.S. presents significant challenges to our operations and supply chain and could impact future result. We cannot predict what additional actions might be considered or implemented by the U.S. or its trade partners, particularly in the current geopolitical environment. We anticipate that the imposition of the baseline 10% tariff will increase the cost of our products and could impact product margins. The uncertainty could also cause disturbances in ocean shipping capacity that could affect our ability to secure ocean freight containers for our products, and create inflationary effects on our costs, in addition to the direct impact of tariffs. We are closely monitoring the evolving tariff landscape and
Current report
attempting to mitigate these impacts, including using pricing adjustments, sourcing strategies and other cost-mitigation measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate the impacts of such tariffs or that the imposition of tariffs, and the resulting economic impact on the U.S. market and consumer, will not be material to our financial results.
Current report
We primarily source our manufacturing materials from Asia, including Taiwan, India and China, with additional sourcing from other producers throughout the world. There have been significant enacted and proposed reciprocal tariffs on certain of these countries. At this time, the overall impact on our business related to tariffs remains uncertain and depends on multiple factors, including the duration and potential expansion of current tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope, or enforcement, reciprocal measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects, changes to consumer purchasing behavior, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges.
Current report
Net sales in fiscal 2025 decreased by $7,199,000 to $181,621,000 as compared to $188,820,000 in fiscal 2024.
Current report
The overall decrease in net equipment sales was attributable to the reduction of sales of approximately $6.4 million to one of the Company’s larger distributors, which purchases both our intrusion and locking products. In addition, the reduction in door locking device sales was primarily attributable to reduced purchases by three of the Company’s locking customers of approximately $9.4 million.
Current report
The decrease in equipment revenue was a result of these larger distributors extended destocking strategies throughout the year, in addition to the timing of large project work for our door-locking business and to a lesser extent general softness in demand due to customer uncertainty related to global tariff policies. In fiscal 2024 our door-locking revenue was positively impacted by a large commercial real estate project. The timing of project work is difficult to predict from period to period due to numerous factors.
Current report
Net service revenues for fiscal 2025 increased $10,581,000 to $86,330,000 as compared to $75,749,000 in fiscal 2024. The increase in net service revenues was due to an increase in the number of our cellular communication devices put into service and activated.
Current report
The decrease in Gross profit margins on equipment sales was primarily a result of overall lower equipment sales levels which results in less absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs in addition to the impact of tariff costs in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 as a result of distributors pulling forward orders before our announced price increase went into effect.
Current report
Research and Development expenses increased by $1,818,000 in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to increases of $1,750,000 in personnel-related expenses mainly from merit increases and the hiring of additional engineering staff. The head count of engineering staff increased by 11% from 72 at the end of Fiscal 2024 to 80 at the end of Fiscal 2025.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 increased by $5,017,000 as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to increases of $3,451,000 in personnel-related expenses mainly from merit increases and the hiring of additional personnel in the finance and information technology departments, $500,000 in insurance, $370,000 in advertising, $313,000 in legal and professional fees, offset by decreases in $130,000 in Director fees and $500,000 in transactions costs associated with the Company’s Form S-3 filing during fiscal 2024.
