“The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes, which negatively impacted gross margin by approximately $45 million, and higher Canadian resource taxes of approximately $10 million.”
“This result was primarily driven by higher raw material and input costs, as well as reduced sales volumes, driven largely by increased sulfur prices and supply constraints in the current period as discussed above in the three-month discussion and reduced sales volumes, reflecting product availability constraints and continued affordability challenges.”
