Financial report summary
?Management Discussion
- Our company is comprised of two reporting segments: North America and Rest of World. Our Rest of World segment is primarily comprised of China, Europe and India. Both segments manufacture and market comprehensive lines of residential and commercial gas, heat pump and electric water heaters, boilers, tanks, and water treatment products. Both segments primarily manufacture and market in their respective region of the world.
- Our supply chain has been relatively stable. However, we continue to monitor potential disruptions and increase our safety stock of key components when we believe it is warranted. We remain in close contact with our suppliers and logistics providers to resolve supply chain constraints as they arise.
- We continue to seek acquisitions that enable geographic growth, expand our core business, and establish adjacencies. In the first quarter of 2024, we acquired Impact Water Products, a California-based water treatment company. The acquisition supports our growth strategy by expanding the West Coast presence of our water treatment business. We also continue to look for opportunities to add to our existing product portfolio in high growth regions demonstrated by our previous introductions of kitchen products in China. We also recently introduced our internally designed and manufactured gas tankless water heaters in North America. In addition, we are expanding our commercial water heater capacity in preparation for the new efficiency rule for commercial water heaters that the Department of Energy (DOE) has adopted that will take effect in 2026.
