Here's How Lands' End (LE) is Poised Ahead of Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Lands' End, Inc. (LE - Free Report) is likely to witness an increase in the top line when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 numbers on Mar 16, before the market opens. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $573.9 million, suggesting an improvement of 6.6% from the prior-year fiscal quarter’s reported figure.
However, the bottom line is expected to decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is currently pegged at 33 cents, indicating a plunge of 45% from the year-ago fiscal period’s tally. The consensus estimate has been stable over the past 30 days.
This clothing, accessories, footwear and home products’ retailer has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 35%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Lands' End’s fourth-quarter results might benefit from its global e-commerce business and brand strength. We note that improved product assortment and compelling digital marketing strategies have been driving the e-commerce business for a while. Also, enhanced data analytics capabilities and an improved inventory management are positives.
Additionally, LE’s outfitters business is performing well on gains from an impressive school uniform business. Lands' End is also seeing sturdy consumer demand across many of its key categories, including outerwear and swimwear. All these factors are most likely to have driven LE’s sales performance during the quarter under review. On its last earnings call, management had projected fourth-quarter net revenues of $560-$575 million, implying an increase of 4-7% from the prior-year quarter’s reading.
However, we cannot ignore the ongoing supply-chain issues and labor constraints. These include higher shipping costs, continued shipping delays and manufacturing interruptions, primarily in Vietnam. On its last earnings call, management had anticipated shipping costs to accelerate in the fiscal fourth quarter. These along with any deleverage in selling and administrative expenses might have hurt Lands' End’s profitability in the quarter under review.
Lands’ End envisioned earnings per share of 27-36 cents and an adjusted EBITDA of $31-$35 million for the fiscal fourth quarter. This guidance assumes an incremental $15 million supply-chain expenses for the quarter to be reported.
