The company posted quarterly revenue of $646 million, roughly below analysts' expectations of $646.3 million. It earned 48 cents per share, below estimates of 49 cents per share. The company's net income for the quarter was $63 million, compared with $74.5 million last year. Analysts on average expected $67.39 million, according to LSEG data.Shares of the company, which fell nearly 32 per cent in 2023, were down nearly 14 per cent in trading after the bell.
