Forward guidance
Astec is confident in the long-term value our Simplify, Focus and Grow strategy will create for Astec stakeholders.
Tailwinds
- Customer demand for Astec products continues to drive increased backlog, which grew year-over-year and sequentially.
- Net sales were driven by net volume, pricing and mix that generated increases primarily in domestic equipment and parts sales.
- Resilience of our customers and employees.
- Strong balance sheet.
- Multi-year tailwind provided by the long-term federal highway bill.
Headwinds
- Inconsistent vendor deliveries negatively affected manufacturing efficiencies.
- Operating margin decreased due to lower gross profit margin (manufacturing inefficiencies due to supply chain disruptions).
- Operating margin decreased due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
- The effective tax rate for the quarter was higher compared to the same quarter in 2021 primarily due to net discrete tax benefits in the prior year that did not reoccur partially offset by the tax effect of lower pre-tax earnings.
- Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $56.8 million as we carried additional working capital to satisfy growth in customer demand for our products.
