CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
The Company expects full year 2020 revenues of $1.95 billion to $2.1 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 17% at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $275 million to $300 million, up 19% at the midpoint, with approximately 55% of Adjusted EBITDA expected to be generated in the second half of the year, due primarily to the anticipated delivery schedules for our barge and wind tower businesses.
Positive Outlook
- Market conditions across our portfolio remain robust, with a few exceptions.
- Backlog growth.
- Strong inquiry levels.
- Completion of the January 2020 acquisition of Cherry underpin our expectation for double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2020.
- Positive demand for our construction products, barges, and utility structures.
Challenges Ahead
- Headwinds in our rail components business.
- Lower pricing in our wind towers business.
- Approximately $15 million of barge revenues shifted into January 2020, causing fourth quarter revenues to be below the Company's expectations.
- The year-over-year margin decrease primarily resulted from the addition of ACG Materials, which has lower margins than the legacy businesses.
- Softer demand from ACG aggregates plants serving oil and gas markets, and higher than expected production costs at one of the Company's specialty materials plants.
