Forward guidance

Looking to 2024, the lower naval propulsion volumes we have been expecting from the aircraft carrier ordering cadence gap in 2024 and 2025 will be more than offset by new program growth in Government Operations, expanding opportunities in commercial nuclear power and accelerating growth in nuclear medicine. Accordingly, we forecast mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS growth in 2024, consistent with the strong operational organic growth rates we have seen the past couple years.
