Anticipating a decrease of approximately 1.5% to 2% for organic net sales. Net sales guidance includes an estimated full-year 2024 headwind of approximately $1.0 million based on current foreign currency exchange rates, compared to previous guidance of a headwind of approximately $5.0 million.

Full-year 2024 capital spending guidance is unchanged and is expected to be $375 million."
