"We remain focused on executing both in terms of growing the top-line, as well as keeping our costs in check. Our nine-month or year-to-date sales were up 34.5% over last year and our SG&A remains flat compared to last year’s same period, a testament to our attention to supply chain management and excellent customer value proposition."
