Guidance from management

Management reaffirmed their 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA outlook of $90 million to $100 million, indicating confidence in the business's growth trajectory and operational efficiency improvements.

What management said

No, I think that's exactly right. I think that in terms of what we have locked in for '26, I think there's some potential upside to that, but it's largely contracted and pulling through the system as we expect. '27, there's the best sales pipeline that we've had. So, I expect to continue to be able to grow through the year, and we'll see that in our '27 numbers.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the variability in the timing of volume ramp-ups and the potential impact of high gas prices on consumer behavior. There were questions about how these factors might influence future guidance and sales performance.
