Record bookings of 46,900 units were achieved, but shipments rose only 12.9% due to component shortages and freight cost inflation totaling $11.0 million. Operating profit declined to $5.9 million from $8.7 million year-over-year. A favorable $6.3 million tax ruling in Brazil was noted, counterbalanced by the absence of past government subsidies.
