2016 Outlook

The company provided the following general framework for 2016, and will issue formal EPS and sales guidance when it announces fourth quarter results on February 1. Sales growth in 2016, excluding possible acquisitions or divestitures, is expected to be in the mid-single digits. Continued strong unit volume growth is anticipated in many of the company's product categories, but will likely be partially offset by commodity-related price deflation. 2016 EBIT margin is expected to be roughly in line with 2015, with the benefit to margin from higher unit volume likely offset by the non-recurrence of the 2015 pricing lag. This framework assumes that commodity prices (primarily steel) will stabilize near current level
