Net sales in the second quarter increased 3.7% to $2,217,000 from $2,137,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first six months of 2024, net sales increased 6.7% to $4,461,000 from $4,182,000 in the comparable prior-year period.  Furthermore, gross margin for the 2024 six-month period was 47.7%, down from 50.0% in the corresponding six months in 2023, primarily due to increased material and labor costs across all product lines.

“During the 2024 second quarter, our sales increased 3.7% from the comparable prior-year period, primarily due to increased sales of our HazardPROTM wireless hazard monitoring systems,” said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors’ president.  “Customers continue to value the ease of installation, flexibility, and favorable overall cost of ownership of our HazardPRO systems.”
