As a result , we ended the quarter with sizable backlogs in both our Uniforms and our Promotional Product segments both with and without including the benefit of PPE .

It has and we believe will continue to yield sustainable organic growth in both our recurring customer base and with new customers across diverse end markets . We are relentless in our determination to excel , bring higher levels of service to our customers and to create greater shareholder value . "
