Forward guidance
The Company is currently on track for a strong finish to the year.
Tailwinds
- Strategy and its focus on the customer, which is delivering results across customer growth.
- Quality improvement.
- Sales performance optimization.
- Private label product expansion.
- Exceptional e-commerce centric platform and differentiated go to market strategy.
Headwinds
- General economic conditions, such as customer inventory levels, interest rates, borrowing ability and economic conditions in the manufacturing industry generally will continue to impact our business.
- The temporary closing of many businesses, and reduced business activity, during the Coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the general economy, and decreased customer purchasing volume, generally, which negatively affected our business and may do so in future quarters until general business activity reaches pre-pandemic levels.
- The imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, as well as retaliatory trade measures, have caused us to raise the prices on certain of our products and seek alternate sources of supply, which could negatively impact our sales or disrupt our operations in the future.
- Increases in freight and shipping costs have from time to time impacted our margins to the extent the increases could not be passed along to customers in a timely manner and may impact our margins again in the future, and factors affecting the shipping and distribution of products imported to the United States by us or our domestic vendors, such as global availability of shipping containers and fuel costs can impact our results as well.
- Our reliance on common carrier delivery services for shipping inventoried merchandise to customers.
