Net sales for the 2017 first quarter decreased 3.8% to $1,650,000 from $1,716,000 in the prior-year quarter. The quarterly decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the northwestern and northcentral US regions, as well as a lower number of large orders. The decrease was partially offset by growth in international sales led by increased system and OEM sales in Canada, along with stronger performance in non-agricultural general manufacturing markets.
"Although our 2017 first quarter revenue was slightly below the prior year comparable period, we are encouraged that our large order performance during the quarter increased approximately 20% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president.
A full analysis of results for the period ended March 31, 2017 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.
