Ingersoll Rand (IR) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 23, after market close.
The company’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 19.78%. Its third-quarter 2021 earnings of 57 cents per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 46 cents by 23.91%.

In the past three months, the stock has lost 11.5% compared with the industry’s decline of 11.9%.
Factors at Play
Strength in the aftermarket businesses, coupled with its strong product portfolio, is anticipated to have been beneficial for Ingersoll Rand in the fourth quarter. Solid momentum across the company’s medical and Dosatron units, driven by an improvement in demand across end markets, is likely to have supported its performance. However, its divestment of the Specialty Vehicle Technologies (June 2021) segment might have affected its top-line performance in the to-be-reported quarter on a year-over-year comparable basis.
The company has been experiencing escalating costs and expenses over the past few quarters. In third-quarter 2021, its costs of sales increased 18.8% year over year while its selling and administrative expenses rose 15.6%. Supply-chain challenges, inflation on logistics and direct material costs, as well as impacts of discretionary and one-time costs, might have hurt its margins and profitability in the fourth quarter. However, its pricing actions are likely to have aided it.
Given Ingersoll Rand’s extensive regional presence, its operations are also subject to global economic, political risks and forex woes. A stronger U.S. dollar might have hurt the company's overseas business in the fourth quarter.
However, acquisitions made by IR positively impacted its revenues by 3.6% in third-quarter 2021. The trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter, given the strength across its acquired businesses. The company acquired Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems (February 2021), which strengthened its existing vacuum and blower product offerings. Its Maximus acquisition (August 2021) has enhanced its prospects in rural water treatment and industrial markets. Also, the buyout of Air Dimensions Inc. (October 2021) expanded its pumping solution offerings. For 2021, it anticipates a revenue contribution of $135 million from the buyout/mergers.
The consensus estimate for Ingersoll Rand's fourth-quarter total revenues is currently pegged at $1,414 million, suggesting a decrease of 6.4% from the year-ago reported number.
