to seating get a trying sense improvements of for Just the products. mobility of and magnitude the the

business sales that release were year-over-year. million up the press exceedingly could other or the products that's all North in assume were American/HME we indicated feeding some ground You so that than because X.X that? actually than bigger of some - or smaller Should be the the that

Kathy Leneghan

it alone and the seating you So at year-over-year. was mobility North well that so quarter-over-quarter call but in if a take - look was for growth take over I’ll consolidated X.X%, XX% the America/HME growth

Jim Sidoti

basis sales mobility absolute it is up in million so sales seating? about all and X that an was is On X that million

Kathy Leneghan

up The have and of seating, over as $X well and respiratory mobility million, be by would but far that been be would mobility that by would well majority declines. was seating offset

Jim Sidoti

that? over up So of tens you and us in some in the if little the investments give for then are million millions or about sense talk bit seating somewhere million a you X you Can just talking and was increases and $X marketing. mobility when in sales

Matthew Monaghan

X, well out $X it’s reinforce million a or definitely I that think think awareness started spending anything it's under may we I we’ll determine there. to recipe good brand get be to five million to get increase well under $X

to focused we’re see short-term. areas as small in I figure million will back we just looks half and starting I year spend million respiratory the and $X So than we’ll – million in out $X what that probably like don’t think more next it see leading $XX

Jim Sidoti

can that little tell on from bit the then sheet is you where the is? us year inventory a And beginning up the just of balance
