Richard D. Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “As we expected, the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was hard fought, with our team navigating a challenging operating environment. Global macro headwinds have persisted, and the consumer is pulling back. The markets we serve are experiencing demand softening, and our customers are changing production schedules and delivery date requirements. Sales in Q2 declined compared to the same period last year, with manufacturing output in the quarter being reduced to meet the lower demand. Margins, on the other hand, remained stable, thanks in part to proactive measures taken to align our cost structure with slowing sales. We expect industry-wide pressures for the remainder of fiscal 2024, and we have updated our guidance for sales and operating income for the full year to reflect these trends.”
Mr. Phillips continued, “Based on what we know today, it seems likely the macro environment will remain challenging for some time. Despite this near-term choppiness, we did not change our guidance for capital expenditures in fiscal 2024 as we continue to invest in long-term growth opportunities. With a strong funnel of new business supported by favorable industry megatrends, we’re deploying a balanced capital allocation strategy focused on organic growth, global expansion, and long-lasting customer relationships.”
The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $39.9 million and borrowings outstanding on credit facilities of $321.8 million, including $235.0 million classified as long term, and $65.8 million of borrowing capacity available. Cash flow used from operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $30.7 million and capital expenditures were $13.2 million.
