-
First quarter results exceeded expectations, driven by strong recurring revenue and cost controls, despite an 11% sales decline year-over-year.

Q2 results were slightly below expectations due to high interest rates and weak retail sales, leading to a 15% year-over-year sales decline and a revised 2024 outlook.
