"I am proud to lead a great team and company with a clear focus on creating value for our customers, employees, and shareholders," said Coleman. "Our previously issued guidance remains on track and provides us with a strong foundation upon which to build from here. We are excited about our long term strategic plan and believe our market opportunity will continue to grow."
