Revenue and gross profit were at record levels for the first quarter, reflecting an increase in shipments to our largest customers as a result of strong demand amid the reopening of the U.S. economy, as well as an improved mix of products sold.
"We continue to advance our plans to increase capacity and secure additional space to meet our customers' needs," Choi said. "We anticipate our momentum to continue well into fiscal 2022. All of our existing factories in Jordan are fully booked through January 2022, with orders from existing top global brand-name customers alone. These customers already are placing orders that are expected to fully book the newest facility we acquired through January 2022 as well. As a result, we have increased our fiscal 2022 revenue outlook to reflect our robust momentum and expanded capacity."

Gilbert Lee, chief financial officer, said, "Results for our fiscal 2022 first quarter reflected the recovery in the U.S. economy from pandemic-related effects. Order momentum is continuing into fiscal 2022, as expected, and more reflective of typical customer patterns. Our order mix for pre-bookings in the September and December quarters is heavily weighted to global brand-name outerwear products, which carry higher average selling prices and favorable gross margins.
"Our updated outlook for fiscal 2022 reflects our expectation for continued strong customer demand and increased capacity for the year. However, it is important to note that potential risks from the Delta variant of COVID-19 could constrain our ability to add workers needed to run operations at full capacity."
