The company experienced significant increases in the Cost of Sales in Q1 due to increased freight rates and fuel costs, as well as ingredients and other input costs. The company’s operating expenses have also been adversely impacted due to increases in distribution expenses, including increased fuel, freight, and warehousing costs.
