“Our second quarter results reflect our team’s solid operational performance and diligent cost management amid challenging macroeconomic conditions. While our backlog remains elevated due to continued supply chain constraints, order intake began to trend down. It is clear that ongoing global economic uncertainty is causing our customers to remain cautious when committing to future orders,” said Aaron H. Ravenscroft, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.
“As we enter the second half of the year, inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions will continue to hinder customer confidence. Yet, we remain on track to deliver the low-end of our adjusted EBITDA guidance,” continued Ravenscroft. “Despite the challenging outlook, we are committed to our four breakthrough initiatives which enable our CRANES+50 strategy and position us to capitalize on the eventual crane renaissance. We look forward to showcasing our progress at the upcoming bauma trade show this October,” concluded Ravenscroft.
