Janet Carr, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “The weakness in consumer demand that we saw toward the end of Q2 continued into Q3, with retail traffic slowing and some caution among our commercial customers. However, our continued financial discipline allowed us to respond to these conditions to deliver positive operating profit and cash. We continued to improve warehouse handling and freight-in and duty costs, helping to reduce cost of sales and boost gross margin, and with slowing retail traffic, we reduced operating expenses in retail labor and corporate expenses.”
