2023 Outlook
Following our solid performance in 2022, we are pleased to reaffirm our 2023 outlook of:
- revenue of at least $7.5 billion;
- non-IFRS operating margin* of between 4.5% and 5.5%; and
- target non-IFRS adjusted EPS* of between $1.95 and $2.05.
Achievement of the midpoint of our 2023 non-IFRS adjusted EPS* range would represent a two-year non-IFRS adjusted EPS* average annual growth rate of 24% for 2022 and 2023(1). Looking beyond 2023, our average annual non-IFRS adjusted EPS* growth objective continues be 10%+ for 2024 and 2025.
Although we have incorporated the anticipated impact of supply chain constraints into the foregoing financial guidance and outlook to the best of our ability, their adverse impact (in terms of duration and severity) cannot be estimated with certainty, and may be materially in excess of our expectations.
