Zumiez (ZUMZ) Lined Up for Q3 Earnings: What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ - Free Report) is likely to post a decrease in the bottom line from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure when it announces third-quarter fiscal 2021 earnings on Dec 2, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at $1.07, suggesting a decline of about 8% from the year-ago period’s tally.
A glimpse of this Lynnwood, WA-based player’s performance shows that the same delivered a significant positive earnings surprise in the trailing four quarters, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly revenues is pegged at $288.4 million, indicating an increase of 6.4% from the prior-year period’s reported figure.
Key Factors to Note
Zumiez’s customer-centric business model, differentiated product assortments and improved omnichannel solutions are likely to have favorably impacted its top-line performance in the fiscal third quarter. ZUMZ seems well-poised to capitalize on the trends in the apparel space on the back of its one-channel concept and advanced in-store fulfillment capabilities.
ZUMZ’s strategy to optimize its store base, including expansion in the underpenetrated markets looks appealing. These strengths coupled with its efforts to meet robust demand for the distinct merchandise offering might have contributed to its performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Zumiez’s men’s, accessories and footwear categories are performing well.
On its last earnings call, management had projected results to surpass the fiscal 2020 sales levels during the second half of fiscal 2021. It had also stated that the fiscal third quarter is off to a strong start owing to a more normalized back-to-school shopping season. Evidently, total sales for the 37 days ended Sep 6, 2021 climbed 23.2% from the same-period level ended Sep 7, 2020. Also, total net sales rose 6.7% from the same-period reading in fiscal 2019. Total comparable sales for the 37-day period grew 10.5% year over year and 5.4% from the number achieved in the comparable period of fiscal 2019.
On the flip side, Zumiez has been witnessing higher SG&A costs for a while now. Deleveraged store wages, higher annual incentive compensation, decline in governmental subsidies, elevated marketing events and other related spending might have been deterrents. Also, the pandemic-related uncertainties cannot be ruled out.
