“We had an excellent quarter. The employees at Espey continue to work very hard in a difficult and frustrating business environment.

Material lead times and inflation became worse and continue to provide significant headwinds to the business as we move forward. We will continue to manage our way through this environment and will work with our customers and suppliers to improve the long term financial performance of the Company.”
