Forward Guidance

Positive Outlook

Challenges Ahead

  • Anticipates lower-than-expected new government contract opportunities and the timing of government funding and appropriations.
  • Expects higher costs associated with equipment, system components, and labor in 2022 due to the expected persistence of global macro conditions, including inflation and supply chain disruptions.
  • Due to the current macro-economic environment, market volatility, lack of visibility, and broader uncertainty, the Company is not providing any financial guidance beyond 2022.
