ADDvantage Technologies Reports Fiscal 2008 Second Quarter Earnings

Quarterly Revenue of $13.9 Million -- Net Income of $0.14 Per Share

BROKEN ARROW, Okla., May 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. , today announced its results for fiscal second quarter 2008.

Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $13.9 million compared to $16.0 million in the same period a year ago, a decrease of 13%, attributable to a decrease in new equipment sales of $2.5 million.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2008 was $1.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the year-earlier period, a decrease of 7%.

For the six months ended March 31, 2008, revenue decreased 7% to $28.6 million from $30.8 million, in the same period a year ago.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six-month period was $2.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, a decrease of 3% from net income of $3.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2007.

Ken Chymiak, ADDvantage Technologies Group President and CEO, commented, "We were pleased with our overall performance for the quarter despite our reduced sales volumes. By focusing on operational efficiencies, we have been able to keep our margins and earnings from decreasing significantly, as new equipment sales have slowed. Equipment sales have declined primarily due to the lack of upgrades being performed by our customers and improvements in the delivery lead times from our manufacturers, which also supply equipment directly to our customers. Although our sales of new products have declined, our repair service has been bolstered, as our customers that are delaying their upgrade projects have an increased need for the repair of older equipment. We anticipate this trend to continue through the remainder of the year. In addition to the strength in our repair service revenue, sales of our refurbished converter boxes remain healthy, both domestically and in Latin America. Sales of converter boxes during the first six months exceeded 2007 volumes by $2.0 million. However, as demand for this product line remains high, we are finding ourselves challenged to maintain an adequate inventory supply of this product line."

Mr. Chymiak continued, "We remain confident in our ability to produce consistent results on a quarterly basis as we continue to address operational efficiencies in this current economic climate of reduced capital expenditures. The diversification in our product offering, coupled with our successful repair business, will continue to benefit the Company. We are extremely satisfied with our operating discipline and will continue to run our business in a manner that we expect will be successful in the current economy. That being said, we are still optimistic about future prospects of increased equipment sales given the necessity for cable operators big and small to increase bandwidth in order to keep up with advancing technology."
