The Code Alliance National program includes an expanded portfolio of discounts, incentives, technical support, promotions and marketing support, including an assigned strategic channel manager for partners with a substantial revenue commitment and year-over-year growth.
The new ISV program highlights Code’s commitment to all partners in the channel, providing support and incentives previously untapped to these valued partners.

This LMS platform will be a one-stop-shop for learning and training on Code’s products and solutions.

Brady Q1 2022 Results
Brady reported Q1 EPS of 67c versus the consensus estimate of 73c. The company reported Q1 revenue of 321.475M versus the consensus estimate of $313.79M.
“Our investments in sales, marketing, and research and development over the last several years are paying off. These investments, coupled with increased customer demand, and the acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of last year, helped us generate double-digit sales growth this quarter,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, J. Michael Nauman. “Our strong 16.0 percent year-over-year sales growth was driven by our Identification Solutions division which had total sales growth of 25.4 percent this quarter. We remain excited about the three acquisitions completed last year, which are performing at or above our initial expectations. Supply chains for certain components remain tight and we are experiencing inflation in many areas including wages, freight, utilities, and raw materials. Even with these inflationary pressures, our gross profit margin was still an enviable 48.2 percent which was right in line with the gross profit margin experienced in the fourth quarter of last year. We believe that these gross margin challenges are temporary and once our pricing and efficiency initiatives catch up to the cost inflation, our strong sales growth and improved gross profit margins will drive significant bottom-line growth.”
