From a cash flow perspective, inventory levels as of March 31, 2025 increased 3% from year end 2024 in support of our overall sales growth.

These constraints have largely abated and we are gradually reversing some of these previous interventions. We are beginning to see the impacts of these recent inventory management efforts and will continue to work to optimize inventory levels.
