Outlook and guidance
FY26 constant-currency revenue growth guidance remained 8%–10%; current exchange rates implied a 200–250 bps benefit to reported sales.
FY26 Adjusted EBITDA guidance was reduced from $25M–$35M to $16M–$20M, reflecting faster North American fuel and freight inflation.
FY26 capex guidance remained $20M–$30M; full-year free cash flow was expected to remain negative.
Q4 cash flow was expected to improve sequentially and YoY as CapEx timing, innovation inventory and payables normalize.
