Business Highlights

• Revenue Segments: The increase in revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2025, was largely due to increased sales of products as a result of the expansion of the sales force. The company increased the number of sales personnel by 36 employees, from 399 in Q3 2024 to 435 in Q3 2025, which contributed to the addition of new customers and increased sales to existing customers.
• Geographical Performance: Net sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 11% of revenues for both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025. Sales to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 23% of international sales for the three months ended May 31, 2025, while sales to customers in Asia accounted for approximately 41% of such international sales.
• Sales Units: The company reported an increase in inventory purchases due to growth in sales backorders and restocking authorized lines to meet projected customer demand. This indicates a proactive approach to managing supply chain and inventory levels to support sales growth.
• Future Outlook: The company expects to see increases in accounts receivables and inventory for the remainder of the fiscal year and into the following fiscal year due to budgeted revenue growth. This suggests a positive outlook on future sales and operational expansion.
• Operational Efficiency: Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a legal expense accrual related to a pending class action lawsuit settlement. This reduction in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales indicates improved operational efficiency.
• Market Strategy: The company is focusing on developing better relationships with vendors and customers, which, along with having higher inventory stock readily available, contributed to increased revenues and gross profit.
• Legal and Compliance: The company reached an agreement in principle to settle a class action lawsuit for approximately $7,683,000, which is expected to be paid within the next few months. This settlement is part of the company's efforts to resolve legal matters and focus on core business operations.
