Factors Likely to Decide PVH Corp's (PVH) Fate in Q1 Earnings

Read MoreHide Full Article

PVH Corporation (PVH - Free Report) is expected to register year-over-year top and bottom-line declines when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2022 results  on Jun 1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.58 per share, suggesting decline of 17.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings has been unchanged in the past 30 days. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues is pinned at $2.1 billion, indicating decline of 0.03% from the prior-year reported number.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 43.4%. Its bottom line surpassed estimates by 83.8%, on average, over the trailing four quarters.

Factors to Note

PVH Corp has been gaining from brand strength, particularly Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger driven by robust consumer demand. Some other notable efforts, including Calvin Klein’s spring collection launch and all-together campaign, global Tommy Jeans AAPE by A Bathing Ape collaboration as well as partnership with the online game platform Roblox, are likely to have acted as upsides. These, along with continued momentum in the international unit, are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the fiscal first quarter.

PVH has been witnessing momentum in the digital business as customers shifted to online purchases. A solid online show, investments in omni-channel capabilities, improved inventory and better customer engagement bodes well. The company’s initiatives to expand its direct-to-consumer digital business and strengthen its network with third-party digital partners are expected to have contributed to digital sales growth in the fiscal first quarter.

However, PVH Corp has been witnessing uncertainty stemming from the war in Ukraine and other macroeconomic challenges, including inflation and continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply-chain disruptions, including transportation shortages, labor shortages and port congestion are likely to have led to production and delivery delays across stores and online. Also, continued sluggishness in the North America unit remains concerning.

On its last earnings call, management expected first-quarter fiscal 2022 revenues to remain flat year over year (up 4% on a cc basis). This compares unfavorably with 55% growth (up 46% on a cc basis) reported in the prior year. The outlook also includes a 5% reduction each for the exit of the Heritage Brands Retail business along with a 1% reduction stemming from temporary store closures and the halt of commercial activities in Russia and Belarus, as well as lower wholesale shipments to Ukraine. The bottom line was envisioned to be $1.55-$1.60 per share, whereas it reported $1.92 on a non-GAAP basis in the year-ago quarter.
