Dave & Buster's (PLAY) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 10, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 10.5%.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 13 cents, compared with a loss of $1.37 in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $256 million, suggesting growth of 60.2% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Dave & Buster's fiscal first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from reopening of stores. Notably, the company’s unique business model, sales-boosting initiatives and continual expansion plans might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results. It is also benefiting from robust digitalization. In November 2020, the company announced the launch of third-party delivery partnership with Door Dash and Uber Eats at 105 of its stores.
Moreover, robust performance of food and beverage, and amusement and other is likely to have driven the company’s performance in the quarter under review.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for food and beverage revenues is likely to witness an improvement of 59.4% year over year to $102 million. Also, Amusement and other revenues are likely to see an increase of 60.4% year over year to $154 million.
However, Dave & Buster’s soft comps trend over the past few quarters remained a concern. In fourth-quarter fiscal 2020, comparable store restaurant sales declined 70% year over year. The decline was primarily due to the pandemic-related operational restrictions.
