Challenges Ahead
- The 2023 forecasted amounts exclude the impact of future items, if applicable, that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as pre-tax unrealized gains/losses resulting from changes in the market value of shares of certain equity securities.
- Our projected interest expense during 2023 is estimated to increase by approximately $71 million, or 56%, over the interest expense incurred during 2022.
- The increase is due primarily to increases in our projected average cost of borrowings, and aggregate average borrowings outstanding, pursuant to our revolving credit and tranche A term loan facilities.
