Mr. Bartolacci further stated: “As we enter fiscal 2019, we see both opportunities and challenges. Order rates for fulfillment systems in our Industrial Technologies segment and for engineered solutions in our SGK Brand Solutions segment remain solid. In addition, recent new brand account wins and the acquisition of Frost should contribute to our results. However, commodity cost increases will offset some of these benefits. In addition, we expect higher income tax expense in fiscal 2019 as tax benefits discreet to fiscal 2018 will not repeat. As a result, based on our current projections, we expect to achieve growth in adjusted EBITDA in the mid-to-high single digit percentage range over fiscal 2018 and growth in non-GAAP earnings per share in the mid-single digit percentage range over fiscal 2018.”
