Forward guidance
The Company raised its 2024 full year guidance to incorporate the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products LLC (“Ameron”), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, which closed on April 9, 2024. The increased guidance also reflects better than expected first quarter results.
Tailwinds
- Increased full year 2024 consolidated revenues to a range of $2.58 billion to $2.78 billion, from the prior guidance range of $2.46 billion to $2.72 billion.
- Increased full year 2024 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $410 million to $440 million, from the prior guidance range of $380 million to $420 million.
- The recent Ameron acquisition is an excellent strategic fit for Arcosa, expanding our product offerings in traffic and telecom structures and establishing our foothold in the attractive concrete and steel lighting pole market.
- Normalizing for 2023's land sale gain, we anticipate Adjusted EBITDA growth of 23% and margin improvement of 90 basis points at the mid-point of our guidance range.
- We generated strong operating cash flow of $81 million in the first quarter, up 195% from last year, which helped fund significant investment in organic growth projects.
