Headwinds

- EBITDA margin in the mid-teens.
- Anticipates a slow recovery for large commercial aerospace applications driven by longer than expected recertification of the 737 MAX, slower recovery in domestic and international air travel and destocking in the supply chain.
- Value added revenue for commercial aerospace applications to be down approximately 30%-35% from its record 2019 results.
- It could be two to four years before large commercial aerospace demand returns to levels similar to 2019.
