Financial Outlook. Approximately $200&nbsp;million of the refund will be applied to pay 2023 estimated taxes and the Company is expecting a cash refund of approximately $700&nbsp;million in Q1 2024. This cash benefit is expected to be offset in the
outer years by other cash and tax impacts such that the cumulative benefit is mid $600&nbsp;million through 2027. Notwithstanding this expected benefit, the Company is not planning to change its Financial Outlook at this time, as it continues to
expect to be in the various forecast ranges previously disclosed resulting in part due to expected trends in EBITDA, capital expenditures and working capital. In aggregate, the Company is expecting a net free cash flow benefit in the near term from
the anticipated tax refund and a net free cash flow reduction in the outer years. While the cumulative free cash flow impact through 2027 remains within the cumulative range previously disclosed, cumulative free cash flow is currently expected to be
toward the low end of the range. </P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
