Forward guidance

Total Revenue is expected to be flat to down low-single-digits in constant currency for the full-year 2023. Adjusted operating income margin continues to be in the expected range of 5.5% to 6.0% for full-year 2023, due to the successful implementation of ongoing cost efficiency programs and a focus on generating profitable revenue. We also expect free cash flow for full-year 2023 to be at least $600 million.

Tailwinds

  • Momentum in demand for products and services in the Americas, particularly for faster-growing Digital Services.
  • Adjusted operating income margin continues to be in the expected range of 5.5% to 6.0% for full-year 2023, due to the successful implementation of ongoing cost efficiency programs
  • Focus on generating profitable revenue.
  • Free cash flow for full-year 2023 to be at least $600 million.
  • Successful implementation of ongoing cost efficiency programs.

Headwinds

  • Mild softening of demand in European markets, reflecting weaker macroeconomic conditions.
  • Revenue is expected to come in at the lower end of the expected range.
  • The Company expects a difficult equipment sales revenue comparison in the fourth quarter 2023 due to the significant prior year reduction in backlog.
  • The headwinds affecting post sale revenue in third quarter 2023 are expected to persist in fourth quarter 2023.
  • Decline in revenue for the third quarter 2023 reflects declines in certain cyclical, low margin post-sale revenue categories
