Arthur Nadata, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated: "We are pleased to have 12 consecutive quarters of sales growth when compared with the same quarter in the prior year".
"For the quarter, our continued increase in sales, coupled with a reduction in operating expenses as a percentage of sales to 11.8% from 14.6% in the prior year resulted in another quarter of improved operating results".
"This quarter's performance continues to validate our strategy of positioning the company to benefit from the ongoing consolidation of the industry".
"We have opportunistically invested in our sales personnel while at the same time continued to focus our long-term sales efforts on demand creation".
"The growth of our fulfilment business has played a key role in maintaining top-line growth while our investments in demand creation were given time to take effect".
"Those investments are just now beginning to show results and we expect to see the financial contribution from those efforts continue in future quarters".
"Finally, we recognised the importance of the global markets going forward and have opened sales offices throughout the Asia Pacific region to be in a position to benefit from that trend".
"Our recent acquisition of DT Electronics in the UK will further our commitment to global expansion and adding shareholder value".
