We have also materially improved gross margin, increasing to 32% in the first half of fiscal 2021 and growing to 35% in Q2 2021. We are accelerating our growth strategy by expanding distribution with leading North America retailers and through our direct-to-consumer and subscription models. We continue to invest in brand awareness and activation at the point of sale, and have reinforced our leadership team to support our future growth.”
