Oops! Wrong on Unified Brands 1Q/15 Number

Sometimes we make mistakes. When we do, we fix them. Our estimate of Unified Brands first quarter 2015 revenue was incorrect. This affects not only the Unified numbers, but also our overall numbers for the publicly reporting equipment and supplies companies.

Unified grew revenues an estimated 4% in the first quarter vs. first quarter 2014. As a result, combined sales for the six equipment-oriented companies we follow grew 2.8% in the first quarter and the combined revenues of the nine publicly reporting companies rose 2.5%.

We regret the error.
