SAN DIEGO, CA – February 4, 2014 - LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world’s leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Fiscal First Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
“We were extremely pleased to start fiscal 2014 with 28% revenue growth,” commented Tom Brown, President and CEO of LRAD Corporation. “Orders from domestic and international oil platforms and vessels combined with international public safety orders to drive strong sales during the quarter. We continue to see strong growth for our products in international markets which has offset the continued domestic defense budget reductions. As a result, we are focusing additional resources in these markets.”
Select Operating and Business Highlights
“Our products continue to gain acceptance throughout the world across a growing number of markets, particularly public safety, oil and gas, bird mitigation, perimeter/border security and mass notification. We are pursuing a number of opportunities in the mass notification market, which will take some time to develop, but we are well positioned with the right product offering. We are anticipating strong growth in this product line over the next 12-18 months. Fiscal 2014 is off to a good start. Demand for our product is increasing and we anticipate continued growth this year in spite of global economic weakness and reduced domestic defense spending,” concluded Mr. Brown.
