Forward Guidance
The Company's 2023 guidance anticipates that it will realize a meaningful improvement in financial performance relative to 2022, with the better financial results driven by various price and cost reduction initiatives across the Company.
Positive Outlook
- Harsco Environmental adjusted EBITDA is projected to be modestly above 2022 results at the mid-point of guidance.
- For the year, higher services pricing, restructuring benefits, site improvement initiatives and new contracts are expected to be partially offset by FX translation impacts, lower commodity prices and a less favorable services mix.
- Clean Earth adjusted EBITDA is expected to significantly increase versus 2022, as a result of higher services pricing as well as cost reduction and operational improvement actions, offsetting the impacts of continued labor-market and supply-chain (disposal) tightness.
- Clean Earth is expected to drive the year-on-year performance growth
- Various price and cost reduction initiatives across the Company.
