FIRST GLANCE AT THIS YEAR’S CE Pro
100 might lead an outsider to think custom
installation is no longer a cottage industry
of entrepreneurs. For the most part, that
conclusion would be wrong, even though some very
large companies are now in the business of installing
home automation and home theater systems.
When the CE Pro 100 was introduced 14 years
ago, the largest company on the list did $5 million in
installation revenues. My how things have changed!
In 2011, there are 35 companies on the list with
more than $5 million. The confluence of large retailers and security companies mixed with traditional
A/V installation companies has changed the profile
of the CE Pro 100 dramatically since back in 1999.
This year, the average company is $14 million. Of
course, if you subtract out the top three companies,
the average falls to $5.5 million, but that’s still quite
a leap from years ago. (The highest previous average
revenue figure for the CE Pro 100 was $7.4 million
2007 at the height of the housing boom.)
This year, the list is led by mammoth Best Buy,
which has a CE Pro estimated installation revenue from
its Geek Squad, Magnolia Home Theater and Audio
Visions divisions of a remarkable $680 million. That
does not include Geek Squad computer repair, but is
just multi-subsystem installations … from hang-andbang flat-panels jobs to large integrated systems.

Predictions for 2012: Optimism abounds for the coming
year. Only two companies anticipate a worse 2012 than 2011.
Another 10 are expecting a “flat” year in terms of revenue, while
another four declined to speculate. That means 84 companies in
the group are bullish on 2012. Identical to last year, the average
revenue increase predicted by those integrators is 15 percent for
next year.
Buying Groups: For the first time, the CE Pro 100 identifies
the A/V buying groups to which the companies belong. There
are 21 members of the Home Technology Specialists of America, 20 members of BrandSource’s Home Entertainment Source,
three members of the PRO Group and one member of Specialty
Electronics Nationwide.
CE Pro 100 Brand Usage Data Coming in June
Watch for the detailed analysis of the products used by
members of the CE Pro 100 in the June issue of CE Pro.
Among the questions answered will be:
Which brands are being used more often and which are
being used less?
What level of influence does the Apple iPad have on
interface usage?
Which nascent product disciplines being tracked — like
gaming, CCTV, home healthcare and remote managed
services — are gaining traction and which are not?
www.cepro.com
Companies Verify Their Data
Ever since CE Pro started asking for verification of the financial
data 10 years ago, we have been waiting for this year. For 2011,
every company in the final CE Pro 100 either submitted their
data, had it verified by an outside accountant, or was verified via
manufacturers (excluding the estimates for public companies
Best Buy and ADT). The verification is optional. Companies were
required to sign a statement (for faxed or mailed entries) that
says, “the information provided is accurate and truthful.” That
statement also appears at the bottom of electronic submissions.
Similar to previous years, CE Pro has selected gross revenue
in multisystem residential installations as the determining factor
for the ranking. Keep your eyes peeled for the June issue of CE
Pro that will include a brand analysis by the CE Pro 100. The list
allows you to gauge your own company’s performance against
others. It may even provide you with a valuable tool to use with
investors or bankers when trying to describe the scope of the
custom installation business.
The CE Pro list is obtained in several ways:
A qualification form appeared in the January, February and
March 2012 issues of CE Pro.
An online form was posted on www.cepro.com for three
months, inviting entries. The website will also maintain a list
of the 2011 CE Pro 100 for the next 12 months.
A blast email was sent out to the installing companies that
subscribe to CE Pro.
Special emails and phone calls were made to a handful of
firms that appeared in previous CE Pro 100 listing.
The list is ranked by the volume of billed, not booked, business from residential systems that incorporate at least three of
the following subsystems:
Audio (sources, speakers, processors or multiroom
distribution components)
HVAC control/energy management systems
Lighting controls
Security systems (alarms, integrated fire, access control
or CCTV)
Structured wiring
Telecommunications
Video (sources, monitors, projectors, screens DBS or
multiroom distribution components, gaming)
Whole-house automation/integration
Networking (PC/broadband routers, modems, WAPs, etc.)
Window covering controls
Other (central vacuum, surge protection, irrigation control,
spa controls, acoustical panels, seating, furniture, etc.)
As always there are several large companies that chose not
to participate in this year’s listing. Many higher-end custom
companies do not want to be compared with high-volume companies on any list. Is your company missing from the list? If so,
email CE Pro at [email protected], or please email any other
comments about the CE Pro 100.
