Forward guidance

The Company currently estimates that its adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2022 will be in the range of $3.80 to $4.00, a 15 percent increase at the midpoint of the range over record adjusted net income per diluted share for the full year of 2021 of $3.40.

Tailwinds

  • Segment income in the Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment in 2022 is expected to increase significantly over the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of a full year from the acquisitions of Gateway and Unicep.
  • A less volatile resin market as compared to the significant unfavorable impact in the prior year from the lagged pass through of increasing resin costs throughout 2021.
  • More efficient operating performance.
  • The continued recovery in the beauty and fragrance markets.
  • A return to more normal volume levels for hygiene and cleaning products as compared to the negative impact in 2021 from inventory management throughout the supply chain for these products.

Headwinds

  • Free cash flow in 2022 will be negatively impacted by an anticipated significant increase in working capital principally related to unprecedented metal inflation in 2022.
  • Increased growth investment opportunities with core customers.
  • Higher cash taxes.
  • Lower unit volumes in Metal Container segment.
  • Higher interest expense in 2022 primarily due to higher weighted average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisitions completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and higher weighted average interest rates.
