(RTTNews) - Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (SPB), a consumer products company, said it will reaffirm its fiscal 2018 financial outlook during its presentation today at the Raymond James 39th Annual Institutional Investors Conference.

The company will reiterate its outlook for fiscal 2018 consolidated net income of $432 million to $452 million, while net income from continuing operations is forecast in a range of $312 million to $324 million.

Spectrum Brands continues to expect fiscal 2018 reported net sales from continuing operations to increase above category rates for most categories, including the anticipated modest positive impact from foreign exchange based on current rates.

The company also continues to expect fiscal 2018 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations between $657 million and $674 million, including the negative impact of $15 million to $20 million from facility consolidations and inflation headwinds, compared to $639 million in fiscal 2017.
