Forward guidance

The Corporation expects consolidated revenue to grow in the mid-20 percent range compared to the prior-year quarter. Profit growth is expected to accelerate after the third quarter as recent price actions become effective and temporary cost actions taken during the pandemic are anniversaried.

Tailwinds

  • Strong consolidated growth: Revenue to grow in the mid-20 percent range compared to the prior-year quarter.
  • Residential Building Products revenue: Growth rates in the mid-to-high 20 percent range compared to the prior-year quarter.
  • Workplace Furnishings revenue: Growth rate in the low-to-mid-20 percent range on a year-over-year basis.
  • Strong second quarter order trends
  • Continued momentum with office re-entry activity

Headwinds

  • Headwinds from labor availability and supply chain constraints.
  • Cost challenges related to inflationary pressures.
  • Increased growth investments.
  • Return of costs associated with temporary actions taken in the prior year.
  • Impact of strong volume growth to be mostly offset by cost challenges
