Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 84.8%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by increased sales in the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment and improved margins in the Hospitality segment.

SG&A costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased to $4.9 million as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
