Forward Guidance

The Company expects net sales of $1.275 to $1.325 billion (24% to 29% y/y); Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 14.6% at the midpoint of our revenue range; Adjusted Net Income of $98.6 million to $103.8 million, based on a blended tax rate of 25%; and 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.

Positive Outlook

  • Net sales of $1.275 to $1.325 billion (24% to 29% y/y)
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 14.6% at the midpoint of our revenue range.
  • Adjusted Net Income of $98.6 million to $103.8 million, based on a blended tax rate of 25%
  • 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
