Forward Guidance

Despite near-term challenges, which are expected to continue into the new calendar year, our resilient team and business model are expected to again deliver solid levels of free cash flow as we progress through choppy market conditions. We expect to continue to invest in our business such that when longer-term rates retreat or become the new normal, we are positioned well to capitalize on the likely subsequent improvement in construction activity.
