Read MoreHide Full Article
Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL - Free Report) , a designer, marketer and distributor of lifestyle products, released first-quarter fiscal 2018 results, wherein adjusted earnings of $1.11 came substantially ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 96 cents, and climbed 4.7% from $1.06 earned in the year-ago quarter.
Ralph Lauren Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Estimate Revision: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2018 has declined by 2 cents in the last 30 days. However, Ralph Lauren’s performance over the trailing four quarters, excluding the quarter under review, remains encouraging with an average beat of 14.2%.
Revenues: Ralph Lauren’s net revenues dropped 13% to $1,347.1 million, which also fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,349 million. On a currency neutral basis, revenues fell 12%. Revenue decline was attributable to the exit of brand, lower shipments and promotional activity and soft consumer demand.

Foreign currency is estimated to hurt revenue growth by nearly 40 basis points in the second quarter. Further, the company adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which is likely to have an impact on its effective tax rate, among other things.
