"Following a strong start to the year, which is seasonally strong for retail liquidation markets, we believe that LSI will continue to benefit from positive momentum and growth, particularly in Commercial.

Overall our thesis remains intact - positive secular tailwinds are driving more online liquidations and new customer relationships."
