Net sales for Q1 totaled $122.4 million compared to the $121.2 million reported for the equivalent quarter twelve months ago, and fell outside the company's prior guidance.
Net income and earnings-per-share both improved under the same comparison: income rose to $6.2 million from $2.2 million, with EPS reaching $0.22 compared to $0.08 for the equivalent periods.
