Forward guidance

The Company is reaffirming its full year 2023 outlook, expecting net sales between $290 million and $310 million and positive Free Cash Flow.

Tailwinds

  • Net sales of approximately $290 million to $310 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA that is modestly positive for the full year.
  • Free Cash Flow that is positive for the full year.
  • Improved year-over-year Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit margin.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $7 million to $9 million.

Headwinds

  • The Company now expects results to be toward the low end of the net sales range.
  • The market in which we operate has been substantially adversely impacted by industry conditions, including oversupply and decreasing prices of the products the Company's end customers sell.
  • If industry conditions worsen or are sustained for a lengthy period, we could be forced to take additional impairment charges and/or inventory and accounts receivable reserves, which could be substantial, and, ultimately, we may face liquidity challenges.
  • The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation, financial condition and/or cash flows.
  • Interruptions in the Company's supply chain, whether due to COVID-19 or otherwise could adversely impact expected sales growth and operations.
