HB Fuller president and CEO Celeste Mastin said: “We delivered double-digit growth in organic revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS in FY22, driven by market share gains, appropriately strong pricing actions, and improved execution.

“At the same time, we recognise that we did not finish the year as strong as we had expected.

“During the fourth quarter, we experienced a more pronounced and accelerated slowdown in demand for Construction Adhesives than we anticipated, which was driven by customer inventory de-stocking actions prior to the end of the calendar year.

“Additionally, we experienced unexpected softness in China due to more dramatic Covid-related lockdowns and on a global basis, greater than expected headwinds from foreign currency translation.

“As we look to the year ahead, we expect global economic conditions to remain slow and we are prepared to control expenses, expand margins by continuing to innovate for our customers and benefitting from scale with our suppliers, and grow cash flow in such an environment.”
