Forward Guidance
The company expects the trends evident in the first half of the year to continue for the remainder of 2023, with a strong backlog and continued positive pricing contribution. However, a more cautious longer-term outlook is noted due to softening order activity and potential impacts from drought and declining farm income.
Positive Outlook
- Continued positive pricing contribution is anticipated in the coming quarters.
- Better supply chain performance is expected to continue.
- Slowing inflation is anticipated.
- Sequential improvement of operational performance is expected to continue.
- Governmental customer outlook remains positive.
Challenges Ahead
- Softer order activity was experienced in Vegetation Management.
- Dealer concerns over rising inventories and higher interest rates.
- Drought in many areas of North America and Europe is expected to adversely impact sales.
- U.S. net farm income is forecast to decline this year.
- Weakening U.S. housing market and rising biomass feedstock input costs could pressure margins for wood pellet producers.
