For the first six months of 2023, net sales decreased 11.0% to $4,182,000 from $4,699,000 for the first six months of the prior year. Furthermore, gross margin for the 2023 six-month period was 50.0%, down from 54.8% in the corresponding six months in 2022, primarily due increased material costs across all product lines.
"During the second quarter, we experienced decreased sales of both our wired and wireless product lines as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to reduced demand and delayed orders related to postponed facility modernization projects," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "Several of our customers, particularly in agricultural applications, rescheduled capital expenditures to better align with their business levels."
