ADDvantage Technologies Announces Financial Results
for the Fiscal Fourth Quarter of 2016
- - -
BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, December 13, 2016 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
“The financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter reflects the third consecutive quarter of steady performance from our Cable TV segment, both in top-line revenue and bottom line results, attributable to solid demand across its customer base. While revenue from our Telco segment was below expectations for the fourth quarter, the opportunities for long-term growth within this segment remain significant. As such, we are continuing to make certain changes within our Telco segment, including expanding its sales force and the end-user customer base, which are expected to drive growth in future quarters,” commented David Humphrey, President and CEO of ADDvantage Technologies.
“In October 2016, we completed the acquisition of Triton Datacom, a leading provider of new and refurbished enterprise networking products, including desktop phones, enterprise switches and wireless routers. We believe there are many areas where our businesses are complementary in nature in the telecom sector. Also, the steady demand in the desktop phone segment is an exciting new niche market for us to tap into and expand Triton’s market share,” continued Mr. Humphrey.
“We see an exciting path forward for the Company as we execute upon our strategy to further diversify our operations across new segments of the communications equipment and services market. The investments we have made through strategic acquisitions and partnerships have placed us in a much stronger position for long-term success as we look to drive shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Humphrey.
