Forward guidance

The company provided an updated full-year outlook for fiscal year 2022, reflecting continued growth in net sales from both existing and new customers, driven by inflation and unit volume growth. The outlook for net income and EPS now includes an estimated $85 million pre-tax gain on sale of assets related to the sale and subsequent leaseback of a distribution center. The outlook for adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA is unchanged, reflecting potential ongoing operating environment volatility and our commitment to service our customers regardless of the environment.
