- As we assess the current operating environment, we believe that there will continue to be macro-economic volatility caused by alleviating supply chain disruptions, inflationary risks and currency fluctuations. Despite the volatile macro-economic environment, we have good momentum in many parts of our business heading into 2023. We expect 2023 organic net sales growth(2) to be in the range of 7.0% to 8.5% and expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share(2) to be in the range of $9.85 to $10.15. Based on the steady progress of our pricing actions, we expect the impact of price to be between 0% and -0.5%. If foreign exchange rates hold near their current levels, we anticipate sales and EPS will be modestly unfavorably impacted as compared to 2022.
