Mr. Spector added, "During 2021 we dealt with some unique issues that pressured our operating margins, including supply chain disruption, inventory availability and a material increase in freight costs from Asia. Although we believe supply chain issues will eventually normalize over the next twelve to eighteen months, recent trends have caused us to actively undertake initiatives to diversify suppliers, explore lower cost logistic alternatives, and broaden our product offerings."

• Fiscal 2021 sales are up 138% over fiscal 2019 pre-Covid sales levels.
