Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

First of all, I want to thank you all for joining us today. And I think, I mean, really hopefully what you heard is, we feel good about where we are from our market share perspective. We also feel good about our ability to take out cost as we demonstrated in ’23 and as we are confident for ’24. And we frankly feel good about how we step by step restrengthen our balance sheet and where we are from a broader funding and balance sheet perspective. I think all these elements set us up very well for working through a macro cycle, which we all see that. That’s certainly going to impact the industry negatively in Q1 and probably also to some extent in Q2. But, again, we come from a very strong platform. We know how to work through these cycles, and we have, I think, the right actions in place to particularly also, once you look at the back half of ’24, have a very attractive business.

So, with that in mind, again, I want to remind everybody, February 27th, that’s where you will see a lot more perspective, in particular about our North America business, in particular about our KitchenAid SDA business, which we historically didn’t put a lot of light on or didn’t show you a lot, and we will also talk quite a bit about balance sheet and cash flow development. So, again, February 27th, and looking forward to see you all. Thank you.

Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today’s conference call. You may now disconnect.
