Forward guidance

Given signs that broader macroeconomic and recession concerns are negatively impacting demand in key markets, the Corporation is lowering its 2022 outlook. Compared to its previous outlook, the Corporation now expects lower second half profit expansion due to slowing volume growth and the divestiture of Lamex, partially offset by improved price-cost and reduced expenses. Despite the increasingly challenging environment, the Corporation still expects strong revenue and profit growth compared to the prior year.

Tailwinds

  • Pricing benefits are expected to drive third quarter revenue growth rates in the high single-digits to low-teens.
  • Low leverage and continued free cash flow generation are expected to provide ample capacity for continued investment, M&A, dividend payments, and share buyback activity.
  • Pricing benefits, inorganic revenue from acquisitions, and continued benefits from multiple growth initiatives are expected to fuel growth rates in the high teens for 2022 in Residential Building Products.
  • The Corporation expects third quarter earnings to improve sequentially from second quarter 2022 levels and be above prior year results primarily due to favorable price-cost.
  • The Corporation expects strong earnings growth in 2022 while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Headwinds

  • Slower volume growth and the Lamex divestiture are driving the reduction in Workplace Furnishings 2022 revenue.
  • The Corporation now expects lower second half profit expansion due to slowing volume growth and the divestiture of Lamex.
  • Broader macroeconomic and recession concerns are negatively impacting demand in key markets.
  • Earnings seasonality is now expected to be less weighted to the back half than in recent years when approximately 70 percent of total profit was generated during the second half.
  • Segment growth is now expected to be softer in the second half of 2022 in Residential Building Products.
