Lorberbaum 表示：「我們所有的業務都在調整策略以適應更具挑戰性的環境。我們在為短期和長期增長進行投資的同時，也在對成本進行管理。我們的收益超出預期，公司業務保持著更高的定價和更強勁的產品組合，全球其他地區地板業務分部的表現優於其他分部。商用渠道業務表現持續強於住宅業務，房屋改建項目被推遲，新房建設受到按揭利率上升的影響。我們的資產負債表依然穩健，本季度產生的自由現金流量達 1.29 億美元。」 為提高銷售額，我們在新產品創新方面做了戰略性投資，強化了商品展銷以及客戶貿易匯展活動。我們將透過提高生產力、簡化流程和控制管理費用來繼續降低整個企業的成本。我們的客戶對他們的存貨承諾仍表現保守，我們在較低的利用率水平下經營，致使未吸收的間接管理費用變為更高的成本。對於北美地板業務和全球其他地區地板業務，我們的重組舉措正在按計劃實施，應該會改善我們的業務業績。 我們將我們的資本投資限制在那些能夠產生顯著銷售額、利潤和流程改進的項目上。我們正在擴大我們曾受限品類的生產，這些品類在經濟好轉時具有最大增長潛力，包括豪華膠地板 (LVT)、高級層壓板、石英檯面、瓷板和隔熱產品。我們在巴西和墨西哥完成了兩項瓷類業務收購，其 2022 年的總銷售額約為 4.25 億美元，幾乎使我們現有的市場份額翻倍。我們正在制定增加銷售額的策略，並將開始整合業務以降低成本、提高效率和優化...
