Key Terms

recurring monthly revenue (rmr), software-as-a-service (saas), average revenue per user (arpu), nfc, +4 more

8 terms

recurring monthly revenue (rmr) financial

"designed to accelerate dealer adoption, drive high-margin Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR)"

Recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is the predictable income a business expects to receive every month from ongoing sources like subscriptions, service contracts, or maintenance fees. Investors care because it acts like a steady paycheck that smooths out ups and downs in one-time sales—higher RMR means more reliable cash flow, easier forecasting, and often a higher valuation, similar to renting out apartments versus selling houses one by one.

software-as-a-service (saas) financial

"MVP, represents the cornerstone of the Company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) strategy"

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a way of delivering software over the internet where customers pay a subscription to use applications hosted and maintained by a provider, like renting a tool or streaming a service rather than buying and installing it. For investors it matters because subscriptions create predictable, recurring revenue and can scale quickly with low distribution costs, while metrics like customer retention and churn directly affect future cash flow and valuation.

average revenue per user (arpu) financial

"serving as a primary driver for increasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)"

Average revenue per user (ARPU) measures how much money a company earns, on average, from each of its customers or users over a specific period. It helps investors understand how effectively a company is generating income from its customer base, serving as an indicator of its overall revenue performance and potential growth. Higher ARPU generally suggests that a company is successfully providing valuable services or products that customers are willing to pay for.

nfc technical

"including mobile NFC smartphone wallet access"

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets two devices exchange small amounts of data by being very close together — like tapping a phone to a payment terminal or another gadget. Investors care because NFC can enable contactless payments, access control, and simple device pairing, affecting a company’s product appeal, revenue streams, partnership opportunities, and the pace of customer adoption.

single pane of glass technical

"video VMS platforms for unified SPoG (Single Pane of Glass) management"

A single pane of glass is a unified dashboard that brings multiple data sources and tools into one screen so users can view, monitor and act on information without switching between systems. For investors, it matters because it makes a company’s operational and financial signals easier to see and interpret—like a car dashboard showing speed, fuel and warnings at once—helping analysts spot problems or opportunities faster and reducing the chance that important signals are missed.

bluetooth technical

"Locks supporting Bluetooth and Prox/MIFARE credentials"

A wireless communication standard that lets nearby devices exchange data without cables, like an invisible short-range cord linking phones, headphones, sensors and cars. For investors, Bluetooth matters because it shapes how easily products connect, influences consumer demand and user experience, affects sales of chips and accessories, and creates recurring value through ecosystem compatibility and licensing—factors that can drive revenue and competitive position.

pots (plain old telephone service) technical

"Designed to replace aging POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) copper landlines"

A plain old telephone service (POTS) is the traditional analog phone connection that carries voice calls over copper wires, like an old-fashioned landline that only handles basic talking and dialing. Investors care because POTS represents legacy infrastructure and steady but shrinking revenue, often carrying regulatory obligations and maintenance costs; decisions to replace or retire it affect capital spending, service transition risks, and long-term profitability.

5g technical

"StarLink Intrusion models featuring advanced 5G cellular technology"

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that provides faster internet connections, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous networks. It enables quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for devices. For investors, 5G represents a significant upgrade in technology infrastructure that can drive growth in related industries such as smartphones, smart cities, and the Internet of Things.

NAPCO's flagship cloud ecosystem, MVP, represents the cornerstone of the Company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) strategy, expanded recently with new strong component offerings, and now sold in the distribution channel. With these additions, and also consolidating video and security system integration with access control into a single, scalable interface, MVP seamlessly replaces legacy systems with a streamlined, high-margin subscription model, serving as a primary driver for increasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and expanding NAPCO's footprint in enterprise, institutional, and small-business markets.

New Cloud Access Opportunities for Locking Professionals

By adding simple app-based cloud services to installed or new locking hardware, including Trilogy Networx and new Marks Wireless Deadbolt Locks supporting Bluetooth and Prox/MIFARE credentials, locksmiths can effortlessly offer new MVP remote management services, creating recurring revenue streams while expanding hardware sales and establishing themselves as the long-term trusted resource for their customers' ongoing security needs.

MVP Featured in the Exclusive ISC Pro Lounge

NAPCO is the exclusive sponsor of the newly introduced ISC Pro Lounge, a premium show experience that sold out within weeks for several hundred ISC Pro VIPs. In the more than 2,000 sq. ft. lounge, NAPCO will feature video displays highlighting MVP and host two "Ask the Expert" interactive Tech Talks: "Security Industry Challenges" and "Top Tech Trends." NAPCO staff will be on hand to engage guests, answer questions, and distribute exclusive MVP giveaways, further cementing the company's role as a thought leader in the professional security channel.
