- Geographical Performance: The company's manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic produces over 90% of its products, benefiting from a tax-advantaged location and lower labor costs compared to the U.S.
- Sales Units: The decrease in equipment sales was primarily due to reduced sales of door-locking products and a decrease in sales to one of the company's larger distributors.

The company is also focusing on security solutions for the healthcare industry, which are highly profitable and comply with regulatory standards.
- Operational Strategy: The company is focusing on mandatory systems like fire systems with central station monitoring and IoT-driven connectivity services, as copper landlines are phased out in favor of cellular services.
- Research and Development: NAPCO invests approximately 7% of its revenues in research and development to support the development of new and proprietary technology and products.
- School Security Market: The company is well-positioned to meet the security needs of schools and other public spaces, with a full suite of products and solutions designed to address increased security concerns.
Strategic Initiatives
- Strategic Initiatives: Napco Security Technologies, Inc. has focused on enhancing its product offerings and expanding its market presence through increased research and development activities.

- Future Outlook: Napco anticipates challenges related to the imposition of a new 10% universal baseline tariff on imports, which could impact product margins and supply chain operations. The company is closely monitoring the evolving tariff landscape and is implementing pricing adjustments and sourcing strategies to mitigate potential impacts. Additionally, Napco plans to continue its focus on expanding its recurring service revenue, which increased by 14% in fiscal 2025, as a key growth driver.

- Currency and Tariff Risks: Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and new tariffs, particularly the 10% baseline tariff on imports, could increase costs and impact margins.
