Forward guidance

The company expects total company net sales growth of about 1% for fiscal year 2024, with adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $4.15 to $4.20. This guidance assumes a continuation of macro factors driving caution, strong demand for underground construction and golf businesses, and weather patterns aligned with historical averages.

Tailwinds

  • Continued strong demand and stable supply for our underground construction, and golf and grounds businesses.
  • Projected strength in infrastructure spending.
  • Golf rounds played show no signs of slowing down.
  • Healthy pace of orders has continued to keep backlog elevated.
  • Expect enduring benefits from investments in innovative product line-up.

Headwinds

  • Continuation of macro factors that have driven increased consumer and channel caution.
  • Remaining adjustments needed to normalize field inventory levels of lawn care products and snow and ice management solutions.
  • Manufacturing inefficiencies as production and inventory levels continue to be adjusted to market conditions.
  • The net impact across all residential mass channel partners related to our new strategic partnership with Lowe's.
  • Heightened level of macro uncertainty will continue to drive near-term caution for lawn care products.
