Read MoreHide Full Article
Robust earnings history and brand strength have been the cornerstones for success of PVH Corporation (PVH - Free Report) . The company kept the trend alive in the recently reported third-quarter fiscal 2017, where earnings and sales topped estimates backed by solid momentum at its premium Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands.
Driven by the solid third-quarter results, improvement in foreign currency rates and continued strength across its brands, PVH Corp anticipates delivering robust revenues and earnings in fourth-quarter 2017. This favorable view further backed by the strong start to the holiday season and the additional $20 million increase in marketing expenditures to take advantage of the continued momentum across its businesses. Moreover, the company raised guidance for fiscal 2017 on the aforementioned favorable trends.
PVH Expects Strong Q4 on Solid Start to Holiday Season
For fourth-quarter fiscal 2017, the company expects total revenues to jump 11% year over year, while it is anticipated to advance 8% on a constant-currency basis. The company’s revenue growth guidance is in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimated revenue growth rate. While fourth-quarter revenues will be positively impacted by the inclusion of the 53rd week, it will bear the brunt of Mexico deconsolidation, the G-III Apparel licensing, and a shift in the selling period in advance of the Chinese New Year, which will fall in first-quarter fiscal 2018 this year.
Brand-wise, revenues are expected to jump 16% (or 12% on a currency-neutral basis) at Calvin Klein, and 12% (or 7% on a currency-neutral basis) at Tommy Hilfiger, while revenues for Heritage Brands are anticipated to decline nearly 1%.
Adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal fourth-quarter are expected to be $1.42-$1.44, including 2 cents per share positive impact from foreign currency translations. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is pegged at $1.43 per share, which is at the mid-point of the company’s estimated range. On a GAAP basis, the company envisions earnings per share of $1.35-$1.37.
