HARDI’s monthly TRENDS report shows average sales growth by HARDI distributor members declined by 1.9% in May 2019. The average annualized sales growth for the 12 months through May 2019 is 9.8%.
“Given the challenges this month, I think a sales dip of only 2% is quite an achievement,” HARDI Market Research & Benchmarking Analyst Brian Loftus said. “Most regions had very difficult sales comparisons vs. May 2018 that was much warmer than normal in many regions, and there was excessive precipitation this May across the Central and Southwest regions.”
