Management Comments
Lance Arnett, chief executive officer, commented, “Notwithstanding favorable demand from our customers, our third quarter sales reflect the effect of supply chain challenges that impacted our ability to timely deliver products. Meanwhile, our profitability was impacted by inflationary cost pressures for certain materials and higher shipping-related costs, among other factors. Although we expect these challenges to persist for some time, we are optimistic that our fourth quarter sales will show healthy growth year-over-year. The Company also anticipates an improvement in fourth quarter gross margin versus the third quarter.”
