Outlook and guidance
Prior FY guidance remained on track; priorities include growth, margin improvement, cost discipline and deleveraging despite higher volatility.
Automation revenue target remains $60M for 2026, with adjusted EBITDA break-even expected in 2026 and a positive contribution in 2027.
Q4 is typically the strongest sales quarter; management expected a seasonal revenue step-up and a decent peak season.
Automation and cold chain are expected to drive much of 2027 growth; cold-chain capacity is on track to come online early in 2027, with meaningful contribution from Q2 onward.
Net leverage target is 2.5x–3.0x within 24 months; cash was expected to improve in Q4 through seasonality and working-capital release.
