Optical Cable Corporation (NASDAQ:OCC) Q1 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Neil Wilkin: I guess we have. We began to see improvements in our skilled labor recruiting during the latter half of fiscal year 2022. And then with those hires that also took a little while for them to complete their training. While there are still some challenges, we have continued to see improvements.

Aaron Palash: Great. Last question, how are your customers reacting to long lead times?

Neil Wilkin: Well, as I think people know, this has been an industry issue. Like others, our lead times have been unusually longer for quite a while. However, we have been lowering our lead times as we are able. We’re proud of the fact that we’re known for our customer service. And currently, we believe our customers are finding our lead times attractive and certainly more attractive than they were more recently with longer lead times.

Aaron Palash: Great. That was the final question.

Neil Wilkin: Okay. Thank you, Aaron. Appreciate that. I would like to thank everyone for listening to our first quarter fiscal year 2023 conference call today. As always, we appreciate your time and interest in Optical Cable Corporation. Thank you. You may have a nice day.

Operator: That concludes today’s teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
