Positive Outlook

  • Positive Residential sell-through growth
  • Positive demand indicators from customer surveys and digital metrics
  • Customer sentiment is higher than this time last year.
  • Customers appear to be more optimistic for a normal building season in 2024.
  • Channel inventories continue to be conservatively positioned through our fiscal first quarter.

Challenges Ahead

  • Remain cautiously optimistic ahead of the traditional building season, which kicks off late spring.
  • Fiscal year 2024 planning assumptions now assume a flattish repair & remodel market.
  • Uncertainty regarding reconciling items such as the costs of acquisitions
  • Reconciling items that impact Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have not occurred, are outside of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.
  • Material changes to these reconciling items could have a significant effect on our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance and future GAAP results.
