“We have a good product lineup that will be launched during the second half of the year, and I think we’re operating with the wind in our sails in terms of product offerings for all of our product lines. And the third thing, we’re raising prices, and price increases are usually reflected in the fourth quarter,” said a manager The company’s chief financial officer, David Zinsner.
