Forward guidance

For fiscal 2024, management expects low-single-digit total company net sales growth and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $4.25 to $4.35.

Tailwinds

  • Benefit from the strength of our portfolio.
  • A more stable supply chain.
  • New strategic partnership with Lowe’s.
  • Expect a more reliable supply of components will support increased, flexible production capacity within our existing manufacturing footprint.
  • Expect incremental growth from our expanded mass channel will help offset headwinds from elevated field inventory levels of residential and professional snow and lawn care solutions.

Headwinds

  • Continuation of macro factors that have driven increased consumer and channel caution.
  • Manufacturing inefficiencies as production and inventory levels continue to be adjusted to market conditions.
  • Below-average snowfall activity fiscal year-to-date.
  • Assumes more typical weather patterns for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.
  • Considers the expected incremental impact of an expanded residential segment mass channel.
