Filing receipts

“The decline of adjusted EBITDA margin and Core adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to dilution from the EWM acquisition as well as higher freight and material costs due to oil price increases related to the war in Iran.”

“The decline of Core adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to dilution from the EWM acquisition as well as higher freight and material costs due to oil price increases from the war in Iran.”

“Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Russia decreased by $8.5 million largely due to relocating the Russia manufacturing plant from an owned property to a leased property and expenses associated with this relocation project as well as shifting of product mix from higher to lower margin products in response to shifts in demand and decreases in customer pricing while material costs continue to increase.”
