Barry Litwin, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Third quarter revenue increased 18.8%, as we benefited from a return to organic revenue growth and the addition of Indoff for the full period. On an organic basis, revenue improved 3.2% driven by volume improvement, which more than offset continued price headwinds. Top line performance was once again led by our e-commerce channel, as recent investments and actions to drive digital transformation and enhance the online shopping experience are delivering returns. Gross margin was 32.8% and primarily reflects the inclusion of Indoff's lower margin profile. During the quarter, we further normalized our inventory position, generated strong cash flow from operations and fully paid off the outstanding balance on the credit facility."
"We are executing against the core pillars of our ACE strategy, committed to delivering an exceptional experience to customers, and focused on operational excellence in every part of the business. The investments we are making in growth and productivity initiatives are designed to strengthen our competitive position. While the environment remains one of caution, our proactive management approach and ability to adjust to market conditions, places us in a position to continue to succeed in the marketplace."
At September 30, 2023, the Company had total working capital of $142.9 million, cash and cash equivalents of $34.3 million, excess availability under its credit facility of approximately $108.9 million. Operating cash flow provided by continuing operations in the quarter was $38.3 million. The Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share to common stock shareholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2023, payable on November 20, 2023.
