Tailwinds

  • Expect full-year Adjusted EBITDA to increase 15% at the mid-point of our range.

Headwinds

  • Previous guidance included full year revenues of approximately $245 million to $255 million from the storage tanks business.
  • Previous guidance included full year Adjusted EBITDA of $52 million to $55 million from the storage tanks business.
  • Wet weather and limitations on cement availability delayed projects and constrained volumes.
