Net sales during 2018 decreased 4.4% to $7,495,000 from $7,840,000 in the prior year.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in all product lines and geographies, as we saw general softness in our primary markets.

International markets provided approximately 11% of our 2018 revenue from shipments into 27 countries.

"In 2018 we celebrated our 50th anniversary of providing industry leading machine monitoring sensors and hazard monitoring systems," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president.  "While this is an impressive milestone, we are even more encouraged about the years to come as we continue to enhance our product portfolio and pursue exciting new markets."

A full analysis of results for the year ended December 31, 2018 is available in the Company's Form 10-K, 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.
