Forward Guidance

The year started off largely in-line with expectations but the company is turning more cautious as consumer confidence has moved lower and industrial activity has slowed in response to the higher rate environment and reduction in credit availability due to banking stress. On a positive note, the input cost environment is more favorable than anticipated when the company started the year, providing some offset to potential top-line pressure in the near term. At the same time the company is pulling back on planned spend until the environment provides more clarity.

Positive Outlook

  • Input cost environment is more favorable than anticipated.
  • Positive impact on gross margins year over year.
  • Sequential improvement from the fourth quarter trough.
  • Focus on productivity and efficiency improvements.
  • Tremendous investments and changes to the business over the past couple of years.

Challenges Ahead

  • Consumer confidence has moved lower.
  • Industrial activity has slowed.
  • Higher rate environment.
  • Reduction in credit availability due to banking stress.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was under pressure from the first quarter of last year.
