Cracker Barrel (CBRL) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Sep 21. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1,410%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.42. In the year-ago quarter, the company had reported an adjusted loss of 85 cents per share. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $791.2 million, suggesting growth of 59.8% from the prior-year quarter.
Factors to Note
Cracker Barrel’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from focus on off-premise initiatives, such as curbside delivery, third-party delivery and family meal baskets. In third-quarter fiscal 2021, its comparable store off-premise sales soared 144% compared with third-quarter 2019 levels. Stimulus spending, pent-up demand and continued vaccinations might have favored the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported. Cracker Barrel has been focusing on rejuvenating its menu, which is crucial to its growth potential.
The company has initiated a new food management program that comprises back of the house process improvements, additional focus on food reporting and analytics, and a new food auditing process. On the utility front, the company has undertaken the implementation of LED lighting, which is being installed on the exterior of its stores. These factors may get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Restaurant revenues is pegged at $651 million, indicating an improvement of 64.8% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for retail revenues stands at $144 million, suggesting growth of 53.2% from the prior-year reported figure.
