A SPECIAL STATEMENT
The loosening of inventory restrictions in May of Q2 generated a favourable sales push which brought the Company back to monthly profitability. This positive momentum carried over into Q3 with profitable results. Margin levels continued on a positive trend and are approaching profitable historic norms.
Q3 is characterized by the detailed planning of our warehouse sales in August and their successful execution. The Company was able to attain the elusive $50M in sales target for August while continuing in its push to grow market share and retain customer loyalty.
Operationally Goodfellow took control of its pressure treating assets and began its own production once again on June 1st, 2017 as planned. ERP obstacles and challenges have widely been addressed and resolved and the Company is moving forward with efficiency initiatives.
Goodfellow is continuing in its focused strategy to steadily increase margin levels while simultaneously addressing elements of obsolete inventory. Inventory levels have been right sized in order to give Goodfellow the opportunity to capitalize on asset opportunities.
Q4 will bring many seasonal inventory and transitional challenges. Nonetheless Goodfellow now has a profitable framework moving forward. The Company is committed to improving its customer experience on an ongoing basis.
