Positive Outlook

  • Believe that there are greater efficiencies to be gained over time through a more disciplined execution.
  • Closed the second quarter with 476.5 million fully diluted shares as compared to our second quarter fully diluted share count in guidance of 478 million.
  • Expect 488 million fully diluted shares at the end of the third and fourth quarters.
  • Net year-over-year dilution will be around 2%.

Challenges Ahead

  • Guiding revenue for our strategic portfolio to $415 to $420 million, down 4% to 6% year-over-year for Q3.
  • Reduction in guidance represents a more cautious approach to the recovery in our Grow Solutions business.
  • Investments in fundamental product enhancements will take some time to manifest in sustainable increased performance.
  • New revenue guidance for our strategic portfolio is $1,680 to $1,690 million compared to $1,760 to $1,800 million previously.
  • Lower expected Adjusted EBITDA is largely due to lower projected revenues, partially offset via incremental cost savings.
