Net sales for the 2020 first quarter decreased 4.2% to $1,923,000 from $2,008,000 in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is partially due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the quarter progressed, sales became less predictable as many of our customers were increasingly impacted by the outbreak.
"As the COVID-19 situation developed during the quarter, we were named an essential supplier by many of our customers, particularly in various agricultural and food supply industries," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "Now more than ever, our customers are looking for Electro-Sensors to deliver critical sales and service as they strive to keep the nation's food supply healthy, safe, and operating efficiently."
A full analysis of results for the period ended March 31, 2020 is available in the Company's Form 10-Q, which is available on the Company's website at www.electro-sensors.com or through the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar database at www.sec.gov.
