Third Quarter Financial Overview
Napco's third-quarter results showed a 10.8% year-over-year drop in net sales, totaling $43.96 million. While the company managed to surpass earnings-per-share expectations-reporting $0.36 per share versus a $0.29 forecast-overall revenue missed Wall Street estimates, and net income declined by over 23% compared to the previous year. The company attributed the sales shortfall primarily to inventory reductions by key distributors, a factor that has become central to the ongoing lawsuit.
Background of the Securities Class Action
The class action, filed as Patel v. Napco Security Technologies, Inc., et al., alleges that Napco's leadership misled investors about its ability to accurately predict hardware demand and sustain ambitious margin targets for fiscal 2026. The complaint claims that despite public assurances of strong hardware division growth and effective forecasting, Napco failed to disclose vulnerabilities in its distribution network and the risks associated with relying on a limited number of major distributors.
The situation escalated after the company's February 3, 2025, earnings report, which revealed a 25% decrease in equipment sales and prompted Napco to withdraw its 45% EBITDA margin target for fiscal 2026. These disclosures led to a dramatic 26% decline in Napco's share price in a single trading session, erasing nearly $10 per share in value.
Allegations and Share Price Impact
Plaintiffs allege that Napco's optimistic statements about its sales pipeline and margin outlook were misleading, given the company's inability to accurately forecast demand and the impact of distributor inventory adjustments. The lawsuit contends that these omissions artificially inflated Napco's stock price during the class period, causing substantial losses when the true financial picture emerged.
