Napco Security Technologies Reports Strong Q4 Results with Tariff Refund Impact
Napco Security Technologies (NASDAQ:NSSC) reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $55.8 million, a 10% year-over-year increase. GAAP net income rose by 52.7% to $17.8 million with diluted EPS at $0.50 compared to $0.33 in the prior year. The company's gross margin reached 61.3%, but this included a one-time benefit of approximately 600 basis points from tariff refunds, which added about $0.09 per share to earnings. Napco’s recurring service revenue grew by 12.9% to $25.3 million and represented roughly 45% of total quarterly revenue with a gross margin above 90%. The company also reported an estimated prospective run rate for recurring services at around $103 million based on July results, indicating strong predictability in this segment. However, the equipment business saw a more modest improvement. Equipment gross margin was approximately 37.4%, but Napco noted that it benefited from tariff refunds and lower inventory-reserve adjustments. Future challenges may include rising technical-service costs and pressure on electronic-component pricing.
