Forward guidance
Assuming no meaningful improvement in workplace mobility and no significant supply chain cost inflation from current levels, the Company anticipates net sales to increase 8-10% versus last year, modest gross margin contraction, Adjusted EBITDA to increase slightly greater than the net sales growth rate, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to increase greater than the Adjusted EBITDA growth rate in fiscal 2022.
Tailwinds
- Net sales to increase 8-10% versus last year.
- Included in the sales outlook is about a 1 percentage point headwind related to the European business exit that was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Modest gross margin contraction as supply chain cost inflation should largely be offset by the price increase that went into effect in September and cost savings initiatives.
- Full-year fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to increase slightly greater than the net sales growth rate.
- Adjusted Diluted EPS to increase greater than the Adjusted EBITDA growth rate.
