Despite the tremendous amount of uncertainty in the market, we remain confident in the underlying health of our business, and our performance reflects the power of our global growth strategies. In addition, our Board has authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million in common stock, supplementing the $8.3 million remaining under the current authorization, as we continue to make disciplined investments with the highest potential return for our shareholders.”
