For the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (FY23), Crown expects its adjusted EPS to be between $1.00 and $1.10.
The company expects adjusted EPS of $6.20 to $6.40 for the full year.
Crown chairman, president and CEO Timothy Donahue said: “The operating environment remained challenging in the fourth quarter, as the impacts from inflation and higher interest rates adversely affected the company’s income performance.
“Continued global volume growth across beverage cans coupled with the contractual recovery of raw material and other inflationary costs is expected to meaningfully improve segment income performance in 2023.
“The Transit business is expected to benefit from a much lower cost structure, the result of a significant overhead reduction programme and the non-recurrence of steel cost headwinds that affected 2022 performance.”
