Forward guidance

The Company’s expectations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the full year are as follows:

Tailwinds

  • Sales expected to be $510 million to $530 million
  • Adjusted operating income expected to be at least $55 million
  • Strong operating leverage for the full year
  • Prior year temporary cost controls of approximately $25 million (affected first half only)
  • Adjusted ETR is expected to be 26 - 28 percent

Headwinds

  • Free operating cash flow now expected to be approximately 75 percent of adjusted net income, due primarily to higher working capital from lower-than-expected sales because of COVID-19 shutdowns in China and the broader European effects from the conflict in Ukraine
  • Capital spending now expected to be approximately $105 million
  • Primary working capital now expected to remain around 31 percent of sales by year-end
