CEO Tim Sopko attributed this to continuous improvement initiatives and strong execution amid a varying product mix. Although sales fell short of last year’s record-setting levels, Sopko noted that fiscal 2025's nine-month revenue surpassed the company’s second-highest mark set in fiscal 2023, reflecting some underlying strength.
