Menderes Akdag, CEO and President, commented: “The market was much more competitive during the quarter, and as a result we gave additional discounts to our customers to stimulate sales, which had a negative effect on our gross margins. We will continue to be aggressive with pricing and promotions, and increase advertising to address this more competitive online market.”
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on February 15, 2019, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 4, 2019. The Company intends to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends; however the declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors each quarter following its review of the Company’s financial performance.
This morning at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time, Mr. Akdag will host a conference call to review the quarter’s financial results.
