The company reported revenue of $289 million, up 1%, year over year and its sixth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. However, net income was way down to $2 million, compared to $8 million in Q3 2021. The company cited supply chain disruptions, shortages in materials and labor, and increased labor, material, and distribution costs for the decline in earnings.
