Commenting on the company’s financial results for the first quarter, Dan Strong, chief financial officer of Control4, added: “Demand for our newly announced products has been strong. We ended the quarter with a higher than normal product backlog which impacted our revenue in the first quarter. We expect to increase our revenue growth rate from the first quarter, and to continue to invest in R&D and Sales and Marketing to bolster our new product development capabilities, and to strengthen our dealer network with enhanced channel programs and direct-to-consumer marketing.”
