Guidance

Strong performance in 2022

is expected to continue and improve in 2023

The continued advancement of our three strategic growth priorities coupled with favourable tailwinds (including the waning impact of the pandemic, the gradual increase in OEM deliveries, and inflation) are fueling strong performance in 2022, which is expected to continue and improve in 2023.

Augmenting our strong, sustainable organic growth this year are net revenues (totaling ~$25 million) that we do not expect to generate in future years. There was ~$17 of such revenue in the third quarter, $8 million in the second quarter, none in the first quarter, and we do not expect any in the fourth quarter. Our 2022 "organic" results exclude this $25 million.
