Forward guidance
The company lowered the top end of its guidance ranges to account for the lower first quarter volumes and anticipated impact on pre-season demand, but the Solutions segment remains on track to show continued margin improvement in 2023 versus a year ago.
Tailwinds
- Net Sales are expected to be between $620 million and $650 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is predicted to range from $85 million to $100 million.
- Adjusted Earnings Per Share are expected to be in the range of $1.55 per share to $2.00 per share.
- The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 24% to 25.
- The outlook assumes relatively stable economic conditions, slightly improving supply of chassis and components, and that Company’s core markets will experience average snowfall levels in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Headwinds
- Lack of snow in core East Coast markets caused the company to lower the top end of its guidance ranges.
- Lower first quarter volumes.
- Anticipated impact on pre-season demand.
- The company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items.
- These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.
