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.
