ADDvantage Technologies (AEY) Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010

BROKEN ARROW, OK–(Marketwire – May 11, 2010) – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2010.

Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $12.1 million compared to $10.1 million in the same period a year ago, an increase of 19%. The overall increase was due primarily to a $1.6 million increase in sales of new and refurbished equipment consisting mostly of headend equipment needed by customers to add channels to their cable systems or upgrade their equipment in order to provide HD programming on their cable system. However, the Company’s large and small MSO customers continued to delay significant plant expansions and bandwidth upgrades as part of their continued efforts to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures. Refurbished equipment sales were also impacted by a $0.4 million increase in sales of converter boxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last year. Service revenue also increased to $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year, as the Company continued to promote and expand this line of business.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to $0.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the same period last year.

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, revenue decreased slightly to $22.3 million from $22.9 million, for the same period last year.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six month period was $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, as compared to $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2009.

Ken Chymiak, President and CEO, commented, “Our sales strengthened through the second quarter, and we look forward to increasing this momentum over the remainder of the fiscal year. We are well positioned to benefit as our customers increase their capital expenditures as the economy improves. The increase in equipment sales along with the cost reduction measures implemented over the past year resulted in an increase in net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.4 million to $1.1 million this quarter. We have reduced inventory by $0.5 million since December 31, 2009, and by $1.7 million since September 30, 2009. We also reported $3.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2010.”

“Our company became a master stocking distributor for the full range of Fujitsu Frontech North America, Inc. AVC encoders, decoders and accessories as well as a member of the Fujitsu global channel partner program servicing the United States. This relationship with Fujitsu not only provides us with another supplier partner, but it also should enlarge our customer base as the Fujitsu products primarily are marketed to the broadcast industry,” concluded Mr. Chymiak.
