Q & A Highlights

Q: Have you seen the worst of the attrition of customers and sales force due to high-priced products, and how should we think about revenue cadence for the rest of the year? A: Joseph Capper, CEO: We believe we've seen the worst of it, with significant activity in the second half of Q2. We've worked to limit damage and rebuild affected areas. The worst is likely behind us, but high-priced product sales continue. We hope for government action soon. We've adjusted guidance to mid- to high single digits, assuming a similar sales run rate as now.
