Net sales in the third quarter increased 2.9% to $2,216,000 from $2,154,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first nine months of 2022, net sales increased 6.1% to $6,915,000 from $6,517,000 for the first nine months of the prior year.  The increase in net sales for the quarter was primarily due to increased sales of HazardPRO wireless hazard monitoring systems.  The increase for the nine month-period was primarily a result of increased domestic sales of traditional wired products for industrial automation and agricultural applications.

Gross margin for the 2022 nine-month period was 54.0%, down slightly from 54.8% in the corresponding nine months in 2021, primarily due to an increase in raw material costs across all product lines.

"Our third quarter revenue represents another solid quarter, with revenue growing 2.9% over the comparable prior-year period," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "While the macroeconomic environment has certainly become more challenging in recent quarters, our results demonstrate continued success in providing industry-leading sensors and hazard monitoring systems to customers for a broad range of applications."

A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 2022 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.
