Forward guidance
As we begin fiscal year 2022, we will continue to focus on developing our value-added businesses and enhancing profitability.
Tailwinds
- Continue to push forward with our two biggest growth opportunities: mineral-based antibiotic alternative feed additives and lightweight cat litter.
- Our animal health products are currently in several trials across the globe.
- Consumer demand for our lightweight cat litter remains strong, and our branded and private label products continue to surpass category growth.
- Our new Cat’s Pride UltraClean and Cat’s Pride Flushable items were recently launched.
- E-commerce retailers have increased their Cat’s Pride product offerings, including some of our newly launched products.
Headwinds
- Our profitability was greatly reduced due to significant cost inflation across all input channels.
- Not only did the price of resin used in our jugs and pails spike, but higher lumber costs for pallets also contributed to the considerable increase in our overall packaging expenses.
- Dramatic increases in freight, natural gas and other material costs also negatively impacted our margins.
- It is clear we did not keep up with the rapid pace of inflation.
- Our supply chain was challenged as a result of trucking and ocean carrier capacity constraints combined with a nationwide labor shortage.
