VICON REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. - August 19, 2016 - Vicon Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT: VII), a global producer of end-to-end security solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The Company recently announced the resignation of its Chief Executive Officer, Eric Fullerton, and the appointment of John M. Badke, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, to serve as its interim CEO. Mr. Badke, who joined the Company in 1992, will also continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Badke said, “The Company has a very experienced global management team and will continue to focus on the launch of its new Valerus Video Management System platform. Revenues for the quarter declined 19% to $9.5 million as we continue to experience weakness in our America’s market segment. However, we were pleased to report a 14% revenue improvement in our EMEA market segment, while at the same time, having completed a significant cost restructuring of this operation. The Company has also substantially resolved its previously reported camera line issues, but believes its market impact may linger for the near term. The cost restructuring plan previously announced by the Company has been effectively implemented, and we expect to report further expense level reductions as a result of these efforts in our fourth quarter ending September 30, 2016. On August 18, 2016, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with its current lender, which increases its $3 million revolving line of credit to $6 million. This facility, which matures on October 2, 2018, will be used for general working capital purposes to support the Company’s near term operating plans.”

“Finally, we continue to close in on our long awaited Valerus product launch and look towards its positive market impact. Designed to deliver the ultimate ease-of-use experience, this new platform will serve as the core foundation for Vicon’s long term technology vision.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased 19% to $9.5 million as compared to $11.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The $2.2 million decrease in the current quarter included a $2.5 million, or 26%, decrease in sales in the Americas market and a $313,000, or 14%, increase in EMEA market sales. The Americas market was negatively impacted by previously reported camera line production issues.  Order intake for the current quarter decreased $2.6 million to $8.9 million as compared to $11.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

Gross profit margins were 40.0% for the third quarters of both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015. Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased $859,000 to $4.6 million compared with $5.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 due to ongoing staffing and other cost reduction initiatives.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $843,000, or $.09 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $800,000, or $.09 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Adjusted non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $572,000, or $.06 per basic and diluted share, as compared to adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $535,000, or $.06 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Please refer to the presentation at the end of the table of operations for a reconciliation of our third quarter GAAP net loss to our adjusted non-GAAP net loss for such periods.

The Company evaluates performance based on net loss and per share results excluding stock compensation expense, the charge off and amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and other non-recurring expenses and gains, which it believes is useful to investors in evaluating ongoing results since they are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature. Reporting these adjusted results is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The following table provides a reconciliation of reported net loss and related per share results to adjusted non-GAAP net loss and related per share results.
