Weather can have a short-term impact on the Company&#8217;s sales, as discussed in our Risk Factor referenced above&#59; however, while customer behavior patterns are difficult to conclusively rationalize, we do not believe that weather had a material impact on 2021 sales.  From time to time, weather does impact sales in a given quarter or annual sales for a seasonal business model, and weather and natural disasters can impact our suppliers and at times create supply chain inefficiencies causing additional cost. In summary, weather is amongst many factors which may impact sales and related costs, and when we believe those impacts are significant, individually or in the aggregate with other factors, we disclose them in our MD&#38;A. </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The cost of the Company&#8217;s insurance premiums is directly tied to the cost of insurance in the overall insurance market and the overall risk profile of the Company. The Company&#8217;s total property insurance cost for 2021 was approximately 0.2% of the Company&#8217;s operating expenses, and thus not material.
