Tootsie Roll Q1 net sales up 37% to $139.3M; EPS $0.17 vs $0.15
---------------------------------------------------------------

- Net sales $139.3M, up 37% YoY; net earnings $12.0M ($0.17 EPS) vs $10.8M ($0.15 EPS).
- Revenue growth driven by demand recovery from pandemic and timing of sales from Q4 2021 due to supply chain delays.
- Significantly higher input costs (ingredients, packaging, freight) partially offset sales gains; price increases phased in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022 with more in Q2 2022.
- Supply chain challenges: expanded supplier lead times, delivery delays; possible temporary manufacturing line shutdowns in 2022.
- Effective tax rate 24.0%; share repurchases reduced shares outstanding, benefiting EPS.
