“So let's start with the gross profit here. We're pleased with the gross profit performance on a year-to-date basis. And as we look at that year-to-date performance, I think it's indicative of the comments Noel just made.”
“First, gross profit margin was down year-over-year in the quarter versus Q3. But I would point out Q3 of last year was the highest gross profit margin we've had since 2020.”
“So Peter, we mentioned that we did all four quarters above 60% and we're up 70 basis points in the fourth quarter. So we're happy with the margin expansion. And as we look ahead, there are several items that I think will help us as we go to drive that margin expansion.”
“So gross profit, we're very pleased with the gross profit margin here in third quarter. And candidly, it was better than our expectations, up 270 basis points year-on-year and improved sequentially.”
“We are very pleased with our margin performance in Q1, which improved by 310 basis points compared to last year and also saw sequential growth. There was a slight benefit from Argentina, but the overall underlying margin improvement was quite strong.”
