Forward Guidance

The Company reaffirms the 2024 full year guidance previously provided.

Positive Outlook

  • Full year Revenue between $725 and $750 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $84 and $89 million
  • Free cash flow between $34 and $38 million
  • The Company’s original Adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2024 anticipated an incremental year over year Gross Profit benefit of $3 million, and SG&A benefit of $12 million due to Project Phoenix initiatives.
  • The company will still realize a $15 million aggregate improvement to Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 attributable to these items.

Challenges Ahead

  • Based upon the Company’s implementation of Project Phoenix, it has validated this cost savings of $15 million in aggregate.
  • This benefit is now revised to be $7 million of Cost of Revenue reduction and $8 million SG&A savings in fiscal 2024.
  • However, this change will have no net impact on the Company’s outlook for fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA.
  • The Company’s gross debt was $199.7 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $190.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and $198.4 million as of March 31, 2024.
  • The increase in gross debt during the period was attributable to the cash flow impacts described above.
