Operational Results Summary
Chairman and CEO Christopher D. Bering said "the first quarter of 2022 was a difficult one. Inflation costs in the shipping environment remain elevated though we have seen some normalization in the market which we hope bodes well for the back half of the year. We remain committed to the long-term strategy of creating an efficient and flexible operating structure to scale growth when the business environment returns to further normalcy. We have deliberately and specifically attempted to improve everything in our control to be in the best position possible when that occurs. We are working hard on behalf of all stakeholders in the business to make sure we get through this period of volatility and ready to get back to profitable growth when the environment allows it."
Andrew Bass, Chairman of the Capital Allocation Committee, said that "as we harvest losses, we remain committed to long term profitable growth in order to maximize the value of FirsTime."
