Headwinds

  • Interest and debt expense ranging from $86 million to $88.5 million, an increase from our previous assumption of $83 million to $85 million.
  • The Company's projections are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions about the Company's business, and the industry and the markets in which it operates; there are known and unknown risks and uncertainties associated with these projections.
  • There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the guidance set forth above.
  • Macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical conditions and instability, which may lead to rising inflation and disruption of, or lack of access to, the capital markets, as well as potential volatility in the Company’s share price.
  • Increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates, rising inflation, and other factors
