Revenue Growth Driven by Volume and Pricing

Gross Margin Compression from Higher Tariffs

Operating Leverage and Profitability

Operating income grew 8.2% to $8.5 million, as gross profit growth outpaced modest increases in operating expenses. Net income rose 5.2% to $6.7 million, and diluted earnings per share increased 6.2% to $0.34. The company continues to benefit from its diversified supplier base and supply chain resilience, which support margin expansion and operating cash flows.

Outlook and Risks

The company expects continued growth driven by trends in food delivery and take-out, which increase demand for packaging and containers. However, risks include raw material availability and pricing, as well as potential deflationary pressures that could affect gross margins. The company's flexible business model and diversified supplier base are designed to mitigate these risks and support sustained performance.
