Forward Guidance
The Corporation expects second half organic revenue to grow at a rate in the low single-digits for Workplace Furnishings. In Residential Building Products, the Corporation expects year-over-year revenue declines to moderate in the second half due to lower prior-year comparisons, moving past the normalization of trade inventory in the remodel/retrofit channel, and improved trends in new construction.
Positive Outlook
- Continued year-over-year profit and margin improvement in Workplace Furnishings.
- The addition of Kimball International will strengthen our business.
- It better positions us to lead in the evolving workplace environment and provides new opportunities for profit growth.
- The intermediate- to long-term fundamentals of the housing market are strong as the market remains undersupplied.
- Demographic trends will continue to support demand.
Challenges Ahead
- The Corporation expects third quarter 2023 non-GAAP EPS to be modestly below third quarter 2022 levels primarily due to lower volume in Residential Building Products
- Normalization of variable compensation
- The Corporation expects Residential Building Products revenue to decline at a year-over-year rate in the high teens during the second half of 2023 with the fourth quarter declining at a slower rate than the third quarter.
