Wolverine (WWW) Queued Up for Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (WWW - Free Report) is expected to report an increase in its top line from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure when it releases first-quarter 2022 results on May 11, before market open. The consensus estimate of $605.1 million for quarterly revenues suggests growth of 18.5% from the prior-year quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly earnings has been stable in the past 30 days at 39 cents, indicating a decline of 2.5% from 40 cents earned in the year-earlier quarter. In the trailing four quarters, this Rockford, MI-based player delivered an earnings surprise of 18.3%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Wolverine’s commitment toward product innovation and investments in own stores and digitization to directly reach customers are likely to have favorably impacted its first-quarter 2022 performance. Also, demand for its brands and robust direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales might have contributed to results. WWW has also been leveraging higher digital marketing investments for a while to boost traffic and is deepening its focus on better merchandising to optimize conversion.
Wolverine has also been strengthening its DTC business so far. Speed-to-market initiatives, deployment of digital product development tool, expansion of e-commerce platforms and a frequent introduction of products are steadily contributing to its performance. All the aforesaid factors coupled with the expansion in international business are most likely to have favored WWW’s top-line performance during the quarter under review.
On its last earnings call, management had projected revenues between $595 million and $610 million for the first quarter, suggesting growth of 16.5-19.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Its forecasts of first-quarter adjusted earnings came in the band of 37-40 cents a share and the adjusted operating margin at 8%.
On the flip side, higher adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses are likely to have persisted in the fourth quarter. Also, steep air-freight and logistics costs due to COVID-related supply-chain constraints might have remained a headwind.
