Based on the productivity enhancements that we have implemented and improved supply chain conditions, our gross profit as a percentage of sales improved for the three months ended March 31, 2025, despite net sales and earnings being lower for the period.

We will continue to monitor our backlog and order entry levels, and believe we are well-positioned to seize opportunities during the remainder of 2025.
