Management's Comments on Operating Environment and Future Outlook - Management expressed confidence in the company's ability to continue improving profitability despite lower sales volumes, attributing this to cost reduction actions and operational improvements [14][47]. - The outlook for 2024 includes expectations for net sales in the range of $485 million to $505 million, with a reaffirmation of free cash flow and new business win outlooks [21][70]. - Management noted that the company is experiencing steady end-market demand, despite some observed weakness in North American industrial markets [47].

Question: Can you provide updates on the medical efforts in the Connect and Protect segment? - Management mentioned that they have been selective in pursuing growth opportunities in medical markets due to capital intensity concerns [50][69]. Question: What is the anticipated capital investment needed to achieve the $10 million EBITDA improvement? - Management stated that minimal capital investment would be required to reach break-even, but some capital would be needed for equipment modifications [133][135]. Question: What is the current status of the interest expense costs? - The interest expense for Q1 was reported at $5.4 million, with a majority attributed to a term loan at a rate of 14.3% [101][102].
