The Company had 413 sales employees at May 31, 2024, an increase of 33 employees or 8.5%, from the prior year quarter. The Company’s sales force is divided into sales focus teams (SFT’s). The Company had 110 SFT’s as of May 31, 2024, two more than the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT’s in fiscal year 2024. The Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model.
