Richard Soloway, Chairman and President, commented, "We were pleased to see our Company reaching record milestones in both sales and profits, for Q4 and fiscal 2018. This performance is a confirmation that our investments in new product development, as well as entering new market segments which provide strong avenues for sales and recurring revenue growth, have positioned NAPCO well for the future. Importantly, fiscal 2018 also saw us keep our R&D and marketing expenditures constant, an objective of ours at the beginning of the year, which resulted in delivering a record $7.6 million in net income.

This past year saw our Company continue to play a leadership role in raising the level of school safety and security preparedness, at K-12 schools, universities and colleges across the U.S. Demand has increased substantially for our integrated line of education-focused security solutions, including our advanced wireless locking and access control solutions, marketed by our Alarm Lock, Marks and Continental Access Control Divisions and also our high-technology alarm and communication systems, from our NAPCO Division. Utilizing NAPCO's proprietary School Access-control Vulnerability Index ("SAVI") audit system, our Company trains dealers, integrators and school personnel on how to quantitatively measure a school's security level. The index highlights deficiencies in the school's preparedness level and creates an action plan so that security dealers and end-user school officials can address the situation."

Mr. Soloway added, "Our StarLink® line of universal fire and intrusion alarm communicators continued to exhibit strong growth this past year, in sales and market share of the Wireless Cellular Alarm Communicator Category. Our Q4 launch of Starlink LTE fire and intrusion alarm communicators, utilizing the most advanced communication technology on the market on the Verizon network, was quite successful. With this launch, StarLink alarm communicators now offers the most extensive and complete line of alarm communication solutions in the industry. This past fiscal year recurring service revenue, propelled by the StarLink line, increased 51%, and now has a prospective annual run rate of $14.7 million based on July 2018.

StarLink Connect®, the IoT cellular communicator, exhibited solid sales growth in fiscal 2018. This RMR-generating product solution, gives alarm dealers the ability to easily upgrade existing, regular alarm system installations into connected, smart home systems. With a smart home system, consumers can remotely operate their security systems, lighting, locks, thermostats, and video cameras, from any smart device. StarLink Connect provides dealers and NAPCO with an incremental RMR growth opportunity and also capitalizes on the market potential for tens of millions of legacy security systems to be transformed into connected home systems.

NAPCO's ArchiTech(TM) Series Networx Locks experienced vibrant sales growth in the past fiscal year. A unique product in the locking category, ArchiTech packages an advanced, wireless access control system in the form factor of an architecturally pleasing designer lock, infinitely customizable in a variety of finishes and hardware options. This product has positioned our Company solidly in the high growth multi-tenant housing vertical market."

Mr. Soloway concluded, "We look forward to building upon the substantial progress that has been made in fiscal 2018. We will continue to make prudent investments in R&D and marketing product solutions which provide NAPCO with sustainable, consistent sales and profit growth, for our Company's future. With solid market positions in high-growth and recurring service revenue categories, we are encouraged by our prospects for continued sales and profit growth for the coming year and beyond."

    * Non-GAAP Information. Certain non-GAAP measures are included in this press release, including EBITDA, non-GAAP operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income
     plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, non-cash stock-based expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-GAAP operating income does not include amortization of
     intangibles or stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our financial performance. By excluding these charges our
     non-GAAP results provide information to management and investors that is useful in assessing NAPCO's core operating performance and in comparing our results of operations on a consistent
     basis from period to period. The presentation of this information is not meant to be a substitute for the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in the above.
