I am particularly pleased with our 38% increase in operating margins to 10.2% in the September quarter, up from 7.4% last year and 9.4% in the June quarter, which reflects our ability to leverage sales growth as well as incremental purchasing and operating efficiencies. I am also pleased with our revenue growth of 6% in the September quarter and 10% year-to-date, which reflects strong contributions from our strategic sales initiatives and previously completed acquisitions.”
