* Derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2023.

The Company had 427 sales employees at August 31, 2024, an increase of 33 or 8% from the prior year quarter. The Company’s sales force is divided into sales focus teams (SFT’s). The Company had 111 SFT’s as of August 31, 2024, an increase of 4 from the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT’s in fiscal year 2025. The Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model.

The net income for the fiscal year ended 2024 included extraordinary items of $7.6 million in accrual expense related to an employee class action settlement agreement and an impairment loss of $3.9 million related to the termination of a lease.
