Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
The combination of weak electronics markets, economic stress in Europe and record U.S. dollar strength will drive a greater than typical sequential decline in the fourth quarter. The company updated its financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA in a range of $525 million to $530 million to reflect increased translational foreign exchange headwinds and lowered macro-economic growth assumptions. The Company also now expects full-year 2022 adjusted EPS of $1.40 to $1.42 and free cash flow of approximately $250 million.
