Management forecasts Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA to improve year-over-year but decline sequentially due to seasonal patterns, while noting soft activity in Asia and elevated global raw material costs.
The company executed $3.3 million in share repurchases during the quarter and paid $26.4 million in dividends over the first nine months, maintaining a net debt to trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 2.3x.
