Menderes Akdag, President and CEO, commented: "During the March quarter, due to COVID-19, demand has been strong for the ecommerce channel, with consumers shifting their purchases to online, which has positively impacted our sales. We were more efficient with our advertising in the fourth quarter, and we will continue to focus on optimizing our marketing plan in fiscal 2021. As an essential business, we have been open during our normal business hours without any material disruptions in our operations. We are dedicated to making every effort to ensure pets get the medications they need in these challenging times. We have also taken extra precautions to ensure the health and safety of our employees. Also, so far, we have not seen any material disruptions in our supply chain. But, as it is a fluid situation, we are monitoring and managing it closely. In fiscal 2021, we will continue to be price competitive and will increase advertising to acquire new customers, promote brand awareness, and reinforce brand loyalty."
