Positive Outlook

  • Total revenues are expected to be between $700 million and $750 million for Q3 2021.
  • Adjusted pretax income is expected to be between $35 million and $45 million for Q3 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $80 million and $90 million for Q3 2021.
  • Total revenues are expected to be between $2.65 billion and $2.80 billion for fiscal year 2021.
  • Adjusted pretax income is expected to be between $150 million and $170 million for fiscal year 2021.

Challenges Ahead

  • Financial guidance for both the third quarter and full year for fiscal 2021 assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions.
  • Financial guidance excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $132.59 at April 30, 2021.
  • Every $4 increase or decrease in common stock price from the end of the second quarter, results in an approximate $1 million increase or decrease, respectively, of phantom stock expense.
  • The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts.
  • These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
