As a percent of sales, gross profit margins were 27.6% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to 29.0% in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 due to a smaller contribution of parts sales to total sales in the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

The Company had operating income of $4,624,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $3,383,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increased operating income was due primarily to higher net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company had net other income of $534,000 compared to $2,235,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
