“We are pleased with the progress of our Dorel Juvenile segment as they delivered double-digit revenue growth and an impressive turnaround in earnings. We are clearly seeing our products winning and delivering market share gains in an industry that was down versus the prior year. Dorel Home revenues continued to grow, improving sequentially with positive indicators at brick-and-mortar. Given the challenges for consumer products companies overall, our two segments are navigating positively, though we recognize the need for further improvement. There is far less retailer inventory and our own inventory levels are at their lowest in two years. The vast majority of all the high-cost inventory from last year has been sold, contributing to improving margins throughout 2023,” stated Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz.
