Challenges Ahead

- Also impacting first quarter earnings is the absence of revenue from Trex Commercial, which was sold on December 30,2022.
- Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net sales, gross margin, was 39.6% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to consolidated gross margin of 39.8% and Residential gross margin of 40.9% in the same quarter last year.
- The decrease was primarily the result of lower capacity utilization due to a decrease in production levels.
