For the three months ended January 31, 2023, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $956.7 million, $426.5 million, and $293.7 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $89.3 million, or 10.3%; an increase in gross profit of $23.2 million, or 5.7%; and an increase in net income of $6.3 million, or 2.2%, respectively, from the same period last year.

For the six months ended January 31, 2023, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $1,850.1 million, $796.0 million, and $539.5 million, respectively.
