Forward guidance

The company expects earnings for 2023 to be in the range of $16.03 to $17.03 per diluted share, including an estimated $0.03 favorable impact from ASU 2016-09.

Tailwinds

  • Increasing demand for non-discretionary maintenance products.
  • Expansion of the installed base of pools.
  • Continued renovation activity.
  • Extensive sales center network will enable solid results.
  • Consumer preferences for smart pool products and our expanded ability to efficiently serve the DIY market will be a focus as we expect inflation to moderate in 2023.

Headwinds

  • New pool construction levels are challenged against the higher comparison we saw over the last two years.
  • Uncertainty presented by short-term market concerns.
