Forward Guidance
The company anticipates continued savings in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019, with potential offsets from implementation and execution costs. They also foresee a prolonged economic downturn may cause a deterioration of future cash collections but they believe their cost savings, reduced non-client facing capital expenditures and working capital improvements could mitigate a potential decline in our cash flows over the near-term.
Positive Outlook
- Savings in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in 2019 could total approximately $65 million to $70 million pretax after adjusting for pro forma full-quarter costs related to acquisitions.
- Cost savings could mitigate a potential decline in cash flows over the near-term.
- Reduced non-client facing capital expenditures could mitigate a potential decline in cash flows over the near-term.
- Working capital improvements could mitigate a potential decline in cash flows over the near-term.
- The company has more than $1.6 billion of available liquidity.
Challenges Ahead
- Offsetting possible future savings would be additional implementation and execution costs, which we estimate could total approximately $5 million to $10 million pretax.
