ADDvantage Technologies Announces Financial Results for the
Fiscal Second Quarter of 2012
- - -
Total revenue of $9.2 million and adjusted net income of $0.04 per diluted share
- - -
Paid $9.4 million of debt and $0.8 million to terminate associated interest rate swap agreement

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, May 8, 2012 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 slightly increased to $9.2 million compared to $8.9 million for the same period last year. Sales of new equipment were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  New equipment sales continued to be negatively impacted by several factors including the continued economic downturn in the cable television industry as multiple system operator (“MSO”) customers continue to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures, partially offset by revenue from Adams Global Communications, which was acquired in May 2011.  Net refurbished equipment sales were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in net refurbished equipment sales was primarily driven by our acquisition of Adams Global Communications.  Service revenue was $1.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year.

In March, the Company paid off the outstanding amount owed of $9.4 million under one of its term loans.  In connection with paying off this loan, the Company also terminated the associated interest rate swap agreement for $0.8 million.  The termination payment was recorded as a one-time charge to interest expense.  In paying off the debt, it is anticipated that the Company will have reduced interest expense of approximately $1.3 million over the remaining term of the debt.  In addition, the Company will have cash flow savings of approximately $0.5 million per quarter from lower debt service payments.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period last year.  Removing the impact of the termination payment in March 2012, adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, revenue increased to $18.2 million from $18.1 million, for the same period last year.  Net income for the six month period was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2011.  Removing the impact of the termination payment in March 2012, adjusted net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

“Total sales for the quarter increased slightly compared to the same period last year, which was mostly driven by strong sales of refurbished equipment attributable to Adams Global Communications, which we acquired in May 2011.  We are continuing to look for strategic growth opportunities within our core business or that will give us access to new markets,” stated David Humphrey, newly appointed President and CEO of ADDvantage Technologies. “I’m excited to join the ADDvantage team at such an important time in its history.  With its positive cash flow, strong deleveraged balance sheet and access to our $7.0 million line of credit, we have a lot of flexibility in developing a strategy that will put us back on the path towards long-term growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures and are not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss and income/loss per diluted share.  Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were calculated by excluding the one-time payment to terminate the interest rate swap agreement and the related tax effect of that payment.  Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were presented to supplement our GAAP consolidated financial statements to allow a better comparison of results in the current period as compared to the prior year and to provide a more meaningful insight to the Company’s on-going operating performance after exclusion of these items.  Reconciliations of net income (loss) to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this release.

The information in this announcement may include forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements.  These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from these statements.  A complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties is contained in the Company’s reports and documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
