The company's gross margin is being partially offset by an "adverse channel mix," indicating that the higher costs of the growing e-commerce channel are pressuring profitability. This creates a need for supply chain and logistics optimization solutions to improve fulfillment efficiency and reduce costs.
Filing excerpt
