“Our second quarter results delivered revenue growth over last year, better-than-expected cash flow generation and strong adjusted gross profit margins," said Rob Saltiel, president and CEO. "We expanded our revenue backlog in the quarter, aided by gains in our International segment and our DIET sector.
“We are anticipating lower annual growth in 2023 for our U.S. segment than previously forecast due primarily to a slower ramp-up in our gas utilities sector sales during the current construction season," he added. "Although the long-term growth fundamentals of this sector remain intact, several key gas utilities customers are currently focused on reducing their product inventory levels over the next few quarters due to more certainty in the supply chain and associated lead times. As a result, we expect full-year revenues to increase in the upper single-digit percentage range, compared to 2022 levels, an adjustment to our prior guidance."
