Coast Distribution’s operating income jumps 86 percent

(Nov. 14, 2013) -- "As a result of these efforts, we saw improved gross margin in this year's third quarter, despite a decrease in net sales," said Musbach. "Our slightly lower net sales reflected the effect of poor weather conditions this summer, which dampened RV usage and resulted in a decrease in our sales of air conditioners as compared to the third quarter of last year."
