The Company's share of income from ASA was $967 and $3,672 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2019, and $1,695 and $5,146 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018. The decrease in ASA’s operating and net income for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of the impact of tariffs, an increase in warranty costs, as well as due to certain product recall expenses incurred in the current year that were not present in the prior year.
