Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond.

Item 2.02 Form 8-K dated August 6, 2024 Exhibit 99.1 Second Quarter 2024 Highlights, page 1 1. You discuss the change in adjusted EBITDA margin in this section and in "Second Quarter 2024 Financial Performance Highlights" below without a discussion of the change in its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income as a percentage of net sales. Please revise your disclosure to disclose the change in net income as a percentage of net sales with equal or greater prominence. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K and Question 102.10(a) of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. October 15, 2024 Page 2 Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to their GAAP Equivalents, page 4 2. You present a subtotal for adjusted net income in the reconciliation to adjusted EBITDA. Please remove the subtotal, weighted average diluted common shares, and diluted adjusted net income per share from the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA. Please present a separate reconciliation from GAAP net income to adjusted net income in accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Financial Data, page 4 3. Your presentation of adjusted SG&A as a % of sales appears to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Please present a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure as required in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. 4. It appears that you present a reconciliation from adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net income, both are non-GAAP financial measures. Please revise your disclosure to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income, in accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S- K. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
