Forward Guidance

The company is updating its full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024. Revenue is expected to be $1,800 million—$1,980 million and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $340 million—$375 million.

Positive Outlook

  • Supply chain improvements.
  • Healthy inventory levels.
  • More normalized backlog levels continue to improve ability to produce and deliver more units in 2024.
  • Focusing on generating positive free cash flow in 2024.
  • Expect to deliver a net leverage ratio that will modestly decrease from current levels by the end of the fiscal year.

Challenges Ahead

  • The ERS segment has continued to experience near-term pressure in demand in the utility market as a result of financing, supply chain, and regulatory factors.
  • Headwinds in utility end markets are driving lower than anticipated OEC on rent in the core ERS segment and will likely continue for the remainder of this year.
  • Customers are choosing to delay purchase decisions influenced by both their expectation of lower interest rates to come and the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election.
  • Lowering consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year.
  • Expect free cash flow to be lower than the previous target of generating more than $100 million.
