  • Gross profit margin contracted to 18.6% from 21.1%, impacted by tariffs, higher raw material costs, and integration of acquired inventory.

  • Adjusted EBITDA declined 29.3% to $15.2 million, with margin falling to 6.1% due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
