Why it matters
The pricing model change was designed to remove inventory-related constraints, as the previous structure allowed channel partners to carry inventory valued above the expected post-rebate net price. Chairman, CEO and President Pierre Brondeau stated that the company's underlying third-quarter performance was also below expectations.
