Forward guidance
2024 non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to increase solidly year-over-year primarily driven by continued margin expansion in Workplace Furnishings and accretion from Kimball International.
Tailwinds
- 2024 organic revenue to grow at a low-single-digit rate in both Workplace Furnishings and Residential Building Products.
- KII to add $215 to $225 million of incremental revenue to 2024 and be solidly accretive to earnings.
- Further reduce leverage and improve its already strong balance sheet during 2024 through modest debt reduction and continued EBITDA growth.
- Low leverage and consistent cash flow generation will provide the Corporation with substantial capacity for capital deployment.
- First quarter non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to increase year-over-year, with margin expansion and accretion from Kimball International more than offsetting macro-driven top line pressure.
Headwinds
- For Workplace Furnishings, this outlook assumes demand conditions remain generally in-line with those experienced in the second-half 2023.
- In Residential Building Products, the Corporation expects growth in new construction to be partially offset by continued declines in remodel/retrofit.
- First quarter Workplace Furnishings organic revenue to be down in the low-single digits versus the same quarter of 2023.
- In Residential Building Products, the Corporation expects first quarter revenue to be down in the low- to mid-teens year-over-year.
- This primarily reflects the impact from unwinding the elevated remodel-retrofit backlog in the year-ago period, partially offset by forecasted growth in new construction.
