Forward guidance
The company updated its guidance for net sales, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2024.
Tailwinds
- The Company anticipates increased promotional activity during the holiday period across geographies relative to its previous assumption.
- The company expects adjusted SG&A in the range of $167 million to $170 million in fiscal year 2024 compared to its prior assumption of $172 million to $179 million.
- The Company anticipates that adjusted SG&A will be lower than previously expected primarily due to a reduction in fiscal year 2024 non-payroll-related advertising and marketing expenses compared to its previous assumption.
- The Company now expects net interest expense to be approximately $34 million during fiscal year 2024, compared to its previous assumption of $32 million to $34 million.
- The Company now expects an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 19.5% for fiscal year 2024, compared to its previous assumption of 19.5% to 20.5%.
Headwinds
- The Company anticipates weaker performance from its international business resulting from the Company's actions to simplify and further realign its distribution network in an effort to strengthen its international sales operations, as well as the Company's limited approach to international marketing that is expected to lead to softer demand.
- The business is not yet experiencing the level of lift in demand from the deployment of new sales and marketing investments that the Company previously anticipated.
- The Company anticipates adjusted gross profit margin in the range of 70.9% to 71.6% compared to its prior assumption of 72.5% to 73.1% in fiscal year 2024.
- The Company expects that adjusted gross profit margin will be lower than previously anticipated primarily due to greater deleverage from lower sales volumes on its fixed warehousing costs, as well as additional promotional activity expected during the fourth quarter of 2024.
- The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 29.9% to 30.6% for fiscal year 2024, compared to prior assumption of 32.8% to 34.3%.
