Company expects HFC prices to remain firm during the core selling season

Result Drivers
SALES VOLUME GROWTH - Revenue increase was primarily driven by 20% higher sales volume, helped by unseasonably warm temperatures in the western U.S.
PRODUCT MIX - Gross margin declined mainly due to a less favorable mix of refrigerants sold, with fewer higher-margin HFO refrigerants compared to the prior year
ERP IMPLEMENTATION COSTS - Higher SG&A expenses were mainly related to optimizing the new ERP system and strategic initiatives
