GUIDANCE FOR FULL-YEAR AND FIRST QUARTER 2024

The company introduces 2024 sales guidance of up 8 to 10 percent, which represents a range of a 3 to 5 percent increase in organic sales versus the prior year. The company expects full-year 2024 EPS on a GAAP basis of $2.73 to $2.83 and $3.17 to $3.27 on an adjusted basis, which both include an approximate $0.11 negative impact due to changes in global tax standards.

In addition, the company estimates reported sales for the first quarter of 2024 to be in the range of up 16 to 18 percent, which represents a 2 to 4 percent increase on an organic basis. The company estimates first quarter 2024 EPS on a GAAP basis of $0.61 to $0.63 and adjusted EPS of $0.72 to $0.74, which both include an approximate $0.03 negative impact due to changes in global tax standards.
