Anthony, thank you for a solid start to our meeting. Today, I’m excited to share some fantastic news about our company’s performance. Starting out the conversation with our Return on Sales (ROS) ration and then moving onto Market Share.
For 2024 was 1.3%. In 2025, this ratio made a significant leap to 7.2%, increasing close to 18%. The increase in ROS is a positive situation, indicating that we have improved our efficiency, employed a better pricing strategy, and increased sales volume.
These improvements have helped our company generate more profit per dollar of sales, resulting in improved profitability, better corporate financial health, and enhanced investor confidence.

Our company products have a presence in all five market segments and are competitively positioned against the customer buying criteria. Our mission is to provide customers with high-quality products at an affordable price so we carefully plan research and development activities to stay ahead of the competition.
After reviewing market share levels across the industry, we will now review our company’s standing within the various segments. The graph shows our market share rate in 2024 as well as 2025. As we review the graph, you will notice that all five of our products had an increase in market share year over year.

We will continue researching competitors’ strategies regarding their product movement as well as ensure we are meeting customer requirements. In addition, our company plans to invest further into promotion and sales departments to ensure our customers cannot only access our products but are very aware of them as well.

ASSET TURNOVER RATIO
‹#›
As we all know, an increase in the asset turnover ratio is a positive sign indicating the company has improved efficiency in generating revenue from our assets. This year, we were pleased to see that our Asset Turnover Ratio increased by 18%, making us a market leader among our competitors.
This increase is a result of our management team's hard work in better utilizing our assets and increasing efficiency within operations. Specific actions taken included increasing automation capabilities for several products. As a result, our labor and material costs were reduced, product lines became more efficient, and our employees were able to redirect their time and attention where it was needed. This solution generated more revenue per dollar of assets in 2025 than in 2024, contributing to increased profitability.
Going forward, we will continue to focus on customer buying criteria and monitor our competitors' strategies to sustain and further increase our asset turnover ratio. Improving our asset turnover ratio will allow us to invest in new initiatives to drive further success and increase shareholder value.

On the other side of that list, we want to improve our social media presence, increase customer awareness/accessibility by 2.5%, as well as ensure development costs stay under budget. The employees will have the opportunity to benefit from the additional training that was budgeted for this year and we encourage them to invest in themselves. We will have a few company-wide activities where employees can let loose and play games (or relax and watch others play). From our experience, these are a few ways we as a management team can boost morale and relationships without exceeding budgeted spend.
Manoj will now wrap up the meeting with the Summary/conclusion slide. Manoj, the stage is yours.
