Forward Guidance
The Company is increasing its 2022 full-year net sales and diluted earnings per share outlook from the previous indications that were communicated last quarter, and is providing updated key assumptions for the year.
Positive Outlook
- Revised net sales growth is primarily due to favorable pricing to offset continued broad-based inflation
- Capital expenditures continue to be in the range of $110.0 - $120.0 million to support strategic growth and Industry 4.0 advanced manufacturing initiatives
- Record backlog of $2.0 billion
- Broad-based market strength for infrastructure products and solutions
- Favorable agricultural market fundamentals and continued heightened concerns over food security
Challenges Ahead
- Now expecting a full-year tax rate of ~27.5% due to the geographic mix of earnings
- Now expecting a ~2.0% unfavorable foreign currency translation impact on net sales vs. prior year
- Inflation
- Supply chain volatility
- Geopolitical risks
