Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $27.7 million, as compared to $32.6 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 14.9%. On a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) our net sales decreased $4.2 million, or 12.9%, and unfavorable foreign exchange caused a $0.7 million decrease in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2023.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 77.1% for three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 78.5% for the same period in 2023, some of the increase in costs were related to increased freight costs related to back ordered items and running some sales promotions on products thereby reducing our margin.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, commissions as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.0% from 38.9% for the same period in 2023.
