“Our first quarter results demonstrate continued progress on our MBX-driven commercial and operational priorities, with a long-term focus on margin expansion and profitable growth,” stated Reddy. “We continue to drive MBX adoption across each of organizational centers of excellence and intend to provide MBX-led, multi-year performance targets at our first-ever Investor Day in late 2023.”
“Today, we are reiterating our full-year 2023 financial guidance,” continued Reddy. “While first quarter operating cash flow was impacted by the timing of capital payments, we continue to anticipate MEC will generate significant year-over-year growth in free cash flow this year, positioning us to reduce net leverage, while investing in new capabilities that further enhance the full suite of integrated solutions we provide our customers. As before, we see the potential to expand our fabrication capabilities to include lightweight materials, such as aluminum, plastics and composites, the combination of which position us to capitalize on demand growth within energy transition markets.”
