Reaffirms 2022 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its 2022 financial guidance, which was originally provided on January 11, 2022. As previously mentioned, the Company expects to benefit from a continuation of the robust client demand that it experienced last year and price increases, which is expected to drive low-teens revenue growth in 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share growth in 2022 is expected to be similar to revenue growth, as modest operating margin improvement will be largely offset by less favorable below-the-line items, including a higher tax rate.

The Company’s 2022 guidance for revenue growth, earnings per share, and cash flow is as follows:
