CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
The company is providing financial guidance for the first quarter of 2024 and full year 2024. Guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks.
Positive Outlook
- Siding Net sales year-over-year growth 3% to 5% (Q1 2024)
- Siding Net sales year-over-year growth 8% to 10% (FY 2024)
- Siding Adjusted EBITDA $65 million to $70 million (Q1 2024)
- OSB Adjusted EBITDA $65 million to $75 million (Q1 2024)
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $130 million to $145 million (Q1 2024)
Challenges Ahead
- Reconciliation of Siding Adjusted EBITDA, OSB Adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts.
- Our inability to reconcile these measures results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.
- Sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliation, such as business exit charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted U.S. GAAP measures.
- The Company expects that these adjustments may potentially have a significant impact on future GAAP financial results.
- Capital expenditures related to strategic growth and sustaining maintenance projects are expected to be between $50 million to $60 million and $150 million to $160 million, respectively.
