“Against this backdrop of global cost pressures, we still expect to deliver healthy growth in adjusted EBITDA up 9% to 11% year over year.”

In context

“tax rate to be approximately 23% to 24%. Let me provide you with more color on our planning assumptions for fiscal 2022. Our raised top-line guidance largely reflects our outperformance in Q2 relative to our expectations. Looking to the second half, we remain mindful of the industry wide container imbalance and the continued elevation in costs as a result. As Tarang mentioned, we're proud of how our team has navigated these logistics to date. However, it remains a dynamic environment and we believe it's prudent to continue to plan for supply chain constraints and elevated costs to impact us into the second half. As a result, even on the higher net sales growth outlook, we are holding our adjusted EBITDA expectations between $66.5 million to $68 million in line with last quarters outlook. Against this backdrop of global cost pressures, we still expect to deliver healthy growth in adjusted EBITDA up 9% to 11% year over year. We remain focused on what we can control. As we've discussed previously, we're taking action to mitigate the impact of some of these costs on our financial performance, including through cost savings initiatives, and a sharper focus on key areas of our non-marketing SG&A spend. From a cadence standpoint, we expect top-line growth to be stronger in Q3 than in Q4. As a reminder, in Q4, we will be lapping a 24% net sales growth quarter, which was helped in part by stimulus related spending, and pipeline sales associated with the launch of Keys Soulcare. As discussed in August, while we expect top-line growth to continue in Q3, we expect Nielsen track channel data to likely show some periods of share losses, given volatility in the base, and the lack of our annual holiday program.
