Why it matters
The sales figures reflected uneven demand, with strong International Contract and Global Retail trends offsetting softer North America Contract activity. Despite the sales decline, the company saw its gross margin rise 320 basis points year over year to 41.7%, driven by pricing realization.
MillerKnoll is addressing underperformance while being listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
