Forward guidance
The Company maintained its 2021 full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $270 million to $290 million. The guidance range incorporates Southwest Rock’s expected results from the date of acquisition. Full year 2021 Transportation Products Adjusted EBITDA guidance revised to approximately $25 million from prior guidance range of $35 to $40 million due to lower production expectations for our barge business as high steel prices continued to escalate in the second quarter suppressing new order activity and profitability on the orders received.
Tailwinds
- 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance keeps us on a path to meet or exceed 2020’s strong results.
- Key growth businesses, Construction Products and Engineered Structures, remain positioned well for the future.
- Acquisition of Southwest Rock is expected to contribute to future results.
- Order activity for utility and traffic structures was strong.
- Improving fundamentals in the North American railcar market.
