Positive Outlook

  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the narrowed range of $865 million to $885 million.
  • Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.10 to $1.14.

Challenges Ahead

  • This update reflects a 3.4% headwind to revenue after the effect of foreign currency due primarily to the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar vs. the Euro, Swedish Krona and in particular the British Pound in the second half of this year.
  • The adjusted revenues and adjusted EBITDA take into account the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
