Petusky commented:
“We are currently expecting 6.0-6.5% total annual revenue growth for the next few years. We concede that it is very possible that the company may ultimately exceed this modeling, but believe that our expectations are defensible based on recent history and provide a reasonable baseline as we look out through 2020. If the company were to execute well against some of its current growth initiatives, our modeling will likely prove conservative.”
