SAN DIEGO, Aug. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LRAD Corporation (Nasdaq:LRAD), the world's leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 Financial Highlights
"Increased product offerings, additional business development staff and support, and continued expansion of international markets offset domestic defense budget reductions, and led to nine-month revenue that exceeded revenue for the full fiscal year 2013," commented Tom Brown, President and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "Our fiscal third quarter, in particular, was positively impacted by sales of our border security solution, the LRAD 2000X, which saw a $4.0 million shipment to a Middle Eastern country to assist in their border and perimeter security program."
Select Operating and Business Highlights
"Our fourth quarter is off to a good start and we anticipate that we will end the year achieving one of our strongest financial performances in the Company's history from both a top and bottom line standpoint," Brown concluded.
