Business Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2017
James Pritchett, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "Our positive third quarter results indicate strengthening demand across our business. Revenue increased from our general security business and the CohuHD operating segment, despite revenue from Wal-Mart, historically the largest customer of the Company, continuing to be down on a year-over-year basis. We continue to diversify our business across vertical markets, securing new wins with our customized solutions, superior customer service and feature-rich software platforms." Mr. Pritchett went on to say, "Our acquisition strategy is working, resulting in a higher quality of earnings as we lessen the customer concentration we have had in the past. We enter the fourth quarter with confidence having received commitments on several large retail projects, a record backlog at CohuHD and the launch of our new RISE dual-head thermal vision camera." The Company's outside independent auditors completed their analysis of the Company's financial condition. The Independent Auditor's Review Report, including financial statements and applicable footnote disclosures, is available on our website at www.costartechnologies.com.
