HoneywellManagement Discussion
- Traditionally, the Company’s sales are stronger in the second and third quarters and weaker in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, due to the seasonal nature of the back-to-school market.

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $108,585,000 compared with $106,191,000 for the same period in 2018, a 2% increase.
- Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the U.S. segment increased 6%, compared with the same period in 2018. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the U.S. segment increased 2%, compared with the same period in 2018.
