Management Comments
Chief Executive Officer of VRT, Rob Johnson, remarked that 2021 was a very tough year from multiple perspectives. The first half delivered robust results, but the financial performance was down during the second half due to inflationary headwinds and supply chain challenges. Despite disappointing financial results in 2021, there were some significant achievements last year.
Johnson added that they had learned a hard lesson from their slow production in 2021 and thus performed intellectually by the end of the year with assertive price actions. They hope that these motives will consequently enhance profitability in 2022, with each quarter successively better than the last one. In the future onward, they will set the stage for consistently improving profitability and growth.
