Q: Can you provide insights into the expected revenue acceleration in the fourth quarter despite the challenging environment? A: Robert DeMartini, CEO: Post-Labor Day, the business has been soft, but we are entering the Black Friday promotion period, which is competitive across all channels. We expect a pickup in sales during November and December, supported by our promotional strategies.
Q: How should we think about cash flow over the next few quarters, especially with the Utah restructuring costs? A: Todd Vogensen, CFO: We have shown progress in managing inventory and accounts payable, which should provide cash sources. We ended Q3 with $23 million in cash and expect to maintain positive operating cash flow into Q4.
Q: What gives you confidence in achieving profitability next year, given the current market conditions? A: Robert DeMartini, CEO: We are confident due to our progress in gross margin improvements. We have not assumed any volume-driven tailwinds and are focusing on cost efficiencies and restructuring benefits to drive profitability.
Q: Can you elaborate on the operational manufacturing consolidation and any potential disruptions? A: Robert DeMartini, CEO: The consolidation is more than halfway through, with minimal disruptions. We are balancing customer needs with manufacturing in the West and expect to open a distribution center in Salt Lake City by January.
Q: How are you managing the restructuring savings, and what is the expected impact on EBITDA and cash flow for 2025? A: Todd Vogensen, CFO: Most savings will flow in 2025, with benefits in both cost of sales and operating expenses. We expect to be EBITDA and cash flow positive in Q4 2024, with full benefits realized next year.
