- Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share of $1.80 to $1.90, based on estimated adjusted average diluted shares outstanding of 54.6 million for the full year.
- Gross margin lower sequentially, as we continue to face inflationary freight pressure
Challenges Ahead
- Ongoing trans-ocean freight inflation
- 80 bps of headwind from one-time project spend associated with the consolidation and relocation of our U.S.-based distribution center
- Implementation of our new ERP system
- SG&A as percent of net sales to increase sequentially, reflecting one-time project spend on our distribution center relocation, and ERP implementation
- Lower gross margin and higher SG&A as a percent of sales, which are expected to reduce adjusted EBITDA margin sequentially before recovering in the second half of this year
