As disclosed on March 2, 2023, the Company discovered a cybersecurity ransomware attack at its Newark, NY and Virginia Beach, VA locations on January 25, 2023. The attack impacted our ability to process orders, ship products, provide services to customers and effectively manage our sales and operating planning process over a several week period at our Newark, NY location and an even longer period at our Virginia Beach, VA location. While production and shipping have been resumed in both locations, considerable time during the first quarter was devoted to data restoration, systems recovery, systems security augmentation and regulatory reporting of the attack. Management continues to work on its cybersecurity insurance claim covering the cost of engaging external cybersecurity experts and the business interruption impact. The Company’s deductible for its cyber-insurance policy of $0.1 million is included in our first quarter results. No ransom was paid.
