Net sales in the third quarter decreased 7.3% to $1,899,000 from $2,049,000 in the prior-year quarter. For the first nine months of 2020, net sales decreased 6.4% to $5,914,000 from $6,317,000 for the first nine months of the prior year. Sales during the quarter continued to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted our ability to travel and visit customers.
“While COVID-19 continues to negatively impact our business, sales of our traditional wire-based products were fairly stable during the quarter,” said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors’ president. “The larger impact was to sales of our HazardPRO wireless systems, which typically require greater engagement with the customer to move the sales process forward.”
A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 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.
