In the last earnings release, management highlighted that it expects the fiscal first quarter to be impacted by persistent supply chain disruptions and price inflation.
In its last earnings call, management stated that it anticipates a sequential decline in the foodservice platform thanks to persistent labor shortages and non-pass through inflation.
