Net sales during 2016 decreased 7.2% to $7,087,000 from $7,636,000 in the prior year. The decrease occurred primarily in the second half of the year due to softening in many industrial markets that impacted all of our product lines. Furthermore, during the third and fourth quarters of 2016, the value of large strategic orders decreased relative to the comparable period in the prior year as customers shifted their focus to immediate needs and deferred larger capital purchases. International markets provided over 10% of our 2016 revenue from shipments into over 40 countries.
"While 2016 was certainly a challenging year due to the many economic pressures and uncertainties experienced by our customers, we remain encouraged that we are very well positioned to capture available opportunities as our markets stabilize," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "Furthermore, we are excited that our HazardPROTM wireless hazard monitoring system continues to gain momentum and acceptance in the markets we serve."
