Risks management discussed

  • Operational: Higher freight costs and product mix shift drove the full-year gross margin decline. Source
  • Financial: Operating cash flow was partly offset by the timing of inventory purchase payments. Source
  • Operational: A 2024 system outage shifted about $10.2 million of sales between quarters, affecting year-over-year comparisons. Source
