Chairman, President and CEO Robert B. Barnhill stated, “TESSCO’s performance throughout fiscal 2010 was outstanding. For the year, we delivered record revenues and earnings, stronger-than-ever operations, no short-term borrowings, and the ability to substantially increase our cash dividend. These achievements reflect our company’s teamwork, intense focus and unwavering commitment to delivering value to our customers, manufacturers and shareholders.”

Mr. Barnhill continued, “The convergence of wireless and the Internet is revolutionizing the way people live and work.  New applications and systems are being developed and new opportunities created at an unprecedented rate.  TESSCO is at the forefront of these trends, fully dedicated to engineering and configuring better product and value chain solutions, at lower total costs, to support the construction, operation, and use of mobility and data wireless systems.

“Reflecting TESSCO’s exceptional performance and our positive earnings outlook for fiscal 2011, and considering the three-fold increase in our stock price over the past year, the board has authorized a three-for-two split of the company’s common stock and has approved a 50% increase in the cash dividend (to $0.15 per share on a pre-split basis; or $0.10 per share on a post-split basis).  These actions not only reflect TESSCO’s dedication to maximizing shareholder value but also clearly demonstrate our confidence in TESSCO’s ability to continue leveraging the favorable developments in our sector and deliver innovation and value to our customers.”
