Michael Benstock, chief executive officer, commented: "We are
pleased to report an increase of 6.7% in our net sales. Gross
margins for our Uniform and Related Products business continued to
be pressured in the second quarter of 2012, consistent with our
expectations. As we indicated in our first quarter 2012 earnings
release, we ensured that we were in a position to take care of our
customers by investing heavily in our raw material inventories
during the cotton crisis of 2011. As a result, we were able to
provide our products to our customers throughout the period of the
shortages and were able to improve our market share in the process.
However, as we work through the higher priced inventory we had
built up during 2011, our gross margins were negatively impacted
and we expect that they will continue to be pressured into the next
quarter. We continued to see the benefits in this approach as we
increased our market position in the first half of 2012.
"Sales growth to outside customers in our Remote Staffing
Solutions business was at a much slower rate in the current quarter
as we have worked to integrate the accounts we have added over the
last few periods. However, we are well positioned in this market
place and have new accounts set to start in the coming quarter. We
expect to return to solid growth in this market segment as we move
forward.
"Our financial position remains very strong and continues to
provide us with the ability to support our ongoing growth
initiatives."
