For the three‐month period ended December 31, 2020, revenues increased by $9.1 million to $54.2 million, from higher volumes shipped across all market segments. Gross profit for the fourth quarter increased to $6.6 million, from $3.5 million in the same period in 2019, as a result of increased sales volumes, operating leverage from increased volumes, and cost management.
