In addition, we continue to control our overall costs, particularly related to COGS and promotional expenses. Another key highlight is that our Q2 2021 Net Sales results were near historical highs achieved in Q2 2019.”

We will continue to make investments to reposition the Company for recovery and sustained future growth with an eye towards new products, new markets, and potential acquisitions. Given our financial resources, the strength of our brand, and proven track record of management excellence, we remain confident in our ability to achieve our long‐term vision for the Company.”
