Net sales in the third quarter increased 22.1% to $2,512,000 from $2,057,000 in the prior-year quarter.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, net sales increased 11.8% to $6,973,000 from $6,239,000 in the comparable prior-year period.
Furthermore, gross margin for the 2024 third quarter was 50.4%, up from 48.6% in the corresponding quarter in 2023.
"Sales during the third quarter increased for both our wired sensor products and our wireless HazardPROTM
products, largely driven by industrial automation and agricultural applications," said David
L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "Furthermore, gross margin improved over the prior-year period as our supply chain continued to stabilize, and we benefited primarily from price adjustments implemented earlier in the year."
