Net sales in the 2015 third quarter increased 11.2% to $2,132,000 from $1,917,000 in the prior-year quarter.  The quarterly increase was due to strong performance in the eastern region of the U.S. and a 25% growth in international sales. Operating income increased 30.7% to $294,000 from $225,000.

For the first nine months of 2015, net sales increased 12.8% to $6,065,000 from $5,379,000 for the first nine months of the prior year.  The increase was due to strong international growth, with a 29% increase in sales to Mexico and Canada.  Operating income increased 14.1% to $454,000 from $398,000.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter of double-digit revenue growth and improved operating income as our customers continue to select our legacy monitoring solutions and adopt our new wireless hazard monitoring systems," said Electro-Sensors President David L. Klenk.
