Due to the continuing level of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to predict the trajectory and sustainability of the demand recovery, the Company is not reinstating full-year 2020 core revenue or Adjusted EBITDA guidance at this time. The Company continues to expect total capital expenditures of approximately $70 million for the full year. Based on the significant rebound of the business from the second-quarter low, the Company expects that higher net working capital investment to support increased demand, as well as certain non-cash deferred tax impacts, will result in Free Cash Flow Conversion greater than 80% of Adjusted Net Income.
