Positive Outlook

  • Net sales are expected to be between $13.7 billion and $14.0 billion for Q3 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be between $270 million and $290 million for Q3 2023.
  • Full-year net sales are still expected to be between $57 billion and $59 billion for fiscal year 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $1.27 billion and $1.35 billion for fiscal year 2023.
  • Company continues to expect to achieve annual net sales of $62 to $64 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $1.5 and $1.7 billion in fiscal 2025.

Challenges Ahead

  • The Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations.
  • These items may include loss on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, certain tax items, and charges associated with non-recurring professional and legal fees associated with acquisitions.
  • PFG's management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income.
  • The impact of these items could be significant, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable.
  • PFG does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook.
