Results for the 3Q of fiscal 2022 were characteristic for this period where seasonal demand is historically strong, which was unexpected given current inflationary pressures. Attention paid to overhead expenses helped maintain margin levels as cost of goods increased. Inventory levels remain high and it will be crucial to level them out before year end in order for Goodfellow to reach its objectives.
