CEO Philip Krim’s remarks
Commenting on the financial update, CEO Philip Krim said:
“The extended constraints and inflationary pressures in raw materials, freight and labor across our supply chain significantly hampered our ability to meet the full extent of the record level of demand. We are taking aggressive measures to offset these challenges, including further diversifying and expanding our supplier base, leveraging our growing scale to negotiate preferential rates and implementing price increases. The overall industry environment remains strong, and with manufacturing capacity anticipated to ramp up later this year, we expect to fulfil the growing demand and enable us to improve gross profit margin in 2022.”
