Net sales in the third quarter increased 11.8% to $2,054,000 from $1,837,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first nine months of 2017, net sales increased 8.0% to $6,005,000 from $5,562,000 for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to an increase in the average size of large orders in both our HazardPRO wireless hazard monitoring systems and legacy products.  Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company experienced significant growth in our international markets.

"During our third quarter we once again delivered increases in both revenue and operating income over the comparable period in the prior year.  We are especially pleased that we experienced growth in both our legacy products as well as our HazardPRO wireless hazard monitoring systems," said Electro-Sensors President David L. Klenk.

A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 2017 is available in the Company's Form 10-Q, which is available on the Company's website at www.electro-sensors.com or through the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar database at www.sec.gov.
