The Company noted that its second-quarter revenue was impacted by approximately $3.0 million of delayed shipments in its steel-related systems business due to supply chain challenges resulting from implementing a new ERP system. Production at this facility is increasing, and these orders are in backlog with shipments expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Our financial results were also affected by the delayed shipments and unfavorable product mix. We continued our strategic investments to support our growth initiatives while maintaining a disciplined focus on operational execution.
