Forward guidance

Heading into 2020 we remain focused on what we can control, which will include investing both organically and through acquisitions into our downstream and specialty platforms, and being balanced in our approach to capital allocation, including maintaining a competitive dividend and ongoing opportunistic share repurchases. The economic headwinds remain as we enter the year making earnings growth more of a challenge. However, with our strengthened balance sheet and strong downstream platforms for further growth, I see far more opportunities than challenges before us as we pursue multiple opportunities to create further shareholder value.

Tailwinds

  • Investing organically and through acquisitions into downstream and specialty platforms.
  • Maintaining a competitive dividend.
  • Ongoing opportunistic share repurchases.
  • Strengthened balance sheet.
  • Strong downstream platforms for further growth.

Headwinds

  • Economic headwinds remain.
  • Earnings growth more of a challenge.
