What to Expect From Bed Bath & Beyond's (BBBY) Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is slated to release third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jan 6. The leading specialty retailer is expected to deliver sales and earnings declines in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings is pegged at 2 cents per share, suggesting a 75% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has moved down by a penny in the past 30 days.
The consensus estimate for fiscal third-quarter sales is pegged at $1.97 billion, indicating a 24.8% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 35.5%. However, the bottom line beat estimates by 92.5%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Bed Bath & Beyond has been witnessing challenges related to the ongoing supply-chain disruptions, cost inflation and a drop in store traffic due to the rising COVID-19 Delta cases. It has also been facing delays in bringing items to stores. Industry-wide concerns, including port congestions and elevated transportation costs, are expected to have further dampened the quarterly performance.
On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management anticipated the headwinds to persist through part of the holiday season, thus, crushing hopes of a swift economic recovery. This is likely to have led to drab sales and earnings in the to-be-reported quarter.
Bed Bath & Beyond has been witnessing rising freight costs, owing to the industry-wide supply-chain constraints. On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management expected higher freight costs to continue throughout fiscal 2021 and increase sequentially in the fiscal third quarter. This is anticipated to have affected the company’s profitability in the fiscal third quarter.
For the fiscal third quarter, management predicted an adjusted gross margin of 34-35%, reflecting the adverse impacts of the global supply-chain challenges. Adjusted EBITDA was expected to be $80-$85 million for the fiscal third quarter.
However, the company has been progressing well with the transformation plan, including store fleet optimization efforts and store remodeling programs. Its digital momentum and store rationalization efforts have been keeping it in good stride. The company has been on track with its planned rollout of Owned Brands as part of its three-year transformation plan. Gains from the efforts are expected to have partly aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
