Positive Outlook

- APM Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be broadly flat sequentially due to the favorable contribution from Performance Solutions sales and cost reduction efforts across the business.
- Overall unrestricted cash in the fourth quarter is anticipated to remain generally in line with the third quarter, generating a positive operating cash flow.
Challenges Ahead
- TSS anticipates a sequential low-teens Net Sales decline driven by refrigerant seasonality.
- TSS Adjusted EBITDA is expected to decrease in the low-20% range sequentially due to refrigerant seasonality.
- TT expects a mid- to high-single digit sequential Net Sales decline, with seasonality driving lower volumes, as well as impacts from mix of regional sales.
