Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Hillenbrand is updating its annual guidance range for fiscal year 2024 and is providing a fiscal Q3 outlook for adjusted earnings per share. These changes reflect reduced volumes stemming from lower than expected orders, unfavorable product mix in MTS, and pricing pressure in MTS, partially offset by approximately $8 million of in-year MTS restructuring benefits, cost actions throughout APS and corporate, and accelerated margin enhancement within the recent acquisitions.

- Approximately $8 million of in-year MTS restructuring benefits
- Cost actions throughout APS and corporate
- Accelerated margin enhancement within the recent acquisitions
Challenges Ahead
- Reduced volumes stemming from lower than expected orders
- Unfavorable product mix in MTS
- Pricing pressure in MTS
- Free cash flow is now expected to be approximately $130 million to $150 million for the year, down from our previous expectation of approximately $230 million.
