CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its outlook for Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EPS for fiscal year 2024.
Positive Outlook
- Organic Net Sales growth of 0 to 2 percent versus the prior year. The Company expects a positive contribution from price throughout the year, with volumes inflecting positive in the second half of the year.
- Adjusted Operating Income growth of 2 to 4 percent versus the prior year.
- Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion in the range of 50 to 100 basis points versus the prior year, compared to the previous expectation of 25 to 75 basis points versus the prior year.
- Adjusted EPS growth of 1 to 3 percent, or in the range of $3.01 to $3.07.
- The Company expects an effective tax rate on Adjusted EPS to be in the range of 20 to 22 percent.
Challenges Ahead
- The Company expects an unfavorable impact of approximately $45 million within interest expense and other expense/(income) versus the prior year.
- This is primarily driven by foreign currency headwinds and debt refinancing at a higher rate.
- The outlook does not contemplate any potential additional share repurchases in 2024.
- Net sales decreased 1.2 percent versus the year-ago period to $6.4 billion, including a negative 0.6 percentage point impact from foreign currency and a negative 0.1 percentage point impact from divestitures.
- Volume/mix declined 3.2 percentage points versus the prior year period, with declines in the North America and International Developed Markets segments that were primarily driven by elasticity impacts from pricing actions and the reduction of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) benefits in the United States
