Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. said Friday that it expects to
post a rise in sales for fiscal 2023 amid plans to further reduce
inventory levels.
The maker of consumer-products and home-essentials such as
Kwikset locks and Hot Shot bug spray said that, even though it
expects to operate in a difficult macro-economic environment, it
anticipates an up to low-single digit rise in sales for the
financial year ending Sept. 30, 2023.
Regarding its inventory reduction plans, the company said it
expects to reduce it by more than $200 million and to return to
free cash flow generation during fiscal 2023.
Additionally, the company said it expects to win the Justice
Department antitrust lawsuit to block Assa Abloy AB's plans to buy
the company's hardware and home-improvement segment for $4.3
billion in cash.
Spectrum Brands therefore expects to collect $4.3 billion of
cash by no later than June 2023, Chairman and Chief Executive David
Maura said.
