The Corte Madera, California-based firm cut down its sales forecast due to the continued weakness in its core business post the fourth quarter market volatility, the negative trends in the high end housing market, and its continued efforts to edit unprofitable and non-strategic businesses.
For FY19, the adjusted revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.585 to $2.635 billion and adjusted EPS is targeted to be in the range of $8.41 to $9.08.
