TASER International Inc. Reports Record First Quarter =
Earnings; Company Achieves 96 Percent Revenue Growth and $0.05 EPS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Apr 22, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TASER(R) =
International Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR) (Nasdaq: TASRW), a provider of =
advanced less-lethal weapons for use in the law enforcement, private =
security and personal defense markets, Monday reported record first =
quarter results.=20
The company reported revenue of $2.4 million for the quarter =
ended March 31, 2002, a 96 percent increase over revenue of $1.2 million =
reported in the first quarter of 2001. The company also reported net =
income of $130,000 or $0.05 per basic share and $0.03 per diluted share, =
for the first quarter of 2002, compared with a net income of $38,000, or =
$0.03 per basic share, in the same period last year.=20
Basic per share calculations for the March 31, 2002 quarter =
are based on approximately 2.8 million weighted average shares =
outstanding, compared with 1.5 million shares in the first quarter of =
2001.=20
The increase in net income is a result of the higher =
ADVANCED TASER unit sales to the law enforcement market, which continues =
to show robust growth quarter to quarter, and increased AIR TASER sales =
to the consumer retailers during the first quarter. Included in these =
figures were an initial order from another major U.S. airline and =
follow-on orders from the Los Angeles Police Department.=20
Gross margin increased to $1.3 million in the first quarter =
of 2002, or 55.7 percent of revenues, compared with $609,000 or 50.5 =
percent of revenues, for the same period in 2001. The increase in gross =
margin is attributed to the higher level of ADVANCED TASER and AIR TASER =
product sales and reduced manufacturing expenses.=20
Commenting on the first quarter results, Rick Smith, chief =
executive officer said, "We are excited that our first quarter =
performance not only showed significant growth over last year, but =
revenues exceeded our guidance by 9 percent ($2.4 million actual vs. =
$2.2 million guidance) and earnings exceeded guidance by 150 percent =
($0.05 per share actual vs. $0.02 guidance).=20
"We continue to see steady growth in the law enforcement =
sector of our market, with 195 new departments adding our products to =
their less-lethal arsenal. This trend includes increased follow-on =
orders from departments currently deploying our weapon system.=20
"We are also focused on obtaining further airline sales. A =
major international carrier became the sixth airline to purchase =
ADVANCED TASERS to protect their aircraft. We received their purchase =
order in early April, and expect to ship this product by the end of the =
month.=20
"Additionally, during our first quarter, we executed a sale =
of our ADVANCED TASER products to another major U.S. commercial airline. =
This is the fourth U.S. carrier to commit to our products, with many =
others evaluating deployment following the FAA approval for their use =
onboard aircraft."=20
"During the first quarter 2002, we also launched our =
introduction into the consumer retail market. Although we probably will =
not see substantial results from this campaign until later this year, we =
are developing the marketing materials and training programs for the =
retail distributors across the United States.=20
"These programs are adding additional overhead costs to our =
sales and marketing department, as originally forecasted, and impacting =
our net profit figures for 2002. However, this investment in our sales =
program is instrumental to initiate this product into the forefront of =
homeland defense in the coming years," said Smith.=20
