Positive Outlook

  • Full year operating EBITDA is expected to be about $3.125 billion.
  • Full year adjusted EPS is expected to be about $3.90 per share.
  • Full year net sales are now expected to be about $12.365 billion.
  • Fourth quarter guidance reflects continued momentum including sales and earnings growth assumptions for both E&I and W&P.

Challenges Ahead

  • Fourth quarter guidance assumes normal seasonal declines in electronics and construction markets.
  • The company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain future events.
  • These events include, among others, the impact of portfolio changes, including asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; contingent liabilities related to litigation, environmental and indemnifications matters; impairments and discrete tax items.
  • These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.
  • Adverse changes in worldwide economic, political, regulatory, international trade, geopolitical, capital markets and other external conditions.
