Read MoreHide Full Article
Perrigo Company plc (PRGO - Free Report) will report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 9, before market open. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 21.43%.

Perrigo’s earnings performance has been dismal over the trailing four quarters. The company’s earnings missed estimates in three of the last four quarters and beat the same once, delivering an average negative earnings surprise of 15.77%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors at Play
In the second quarter, the performance of Perrigo’s Consumer Self Care Americas (“CSCA”) and Consumer Self Care International (“CSCI”) segments is expected to have been aided by the products added through acquisitions. Significant sales growth of new products is likely to have boosted sales further during the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Currency movements are likely to have hurt sales growth during the second quarter.
During the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of HRA Pharma, a leading global self-cared company. Upon completion of the acquisition, Perrigo raised its financial outlook for 2022. The company expects the EPS to increase by approximately 35 cents for the full year.
Sales of cough/cold products had demonstrated a strong recovery during the last three quarters. The momentum is expected to have continued during the second quarter, boosting the top line.
Perrigo reported higher net price realization for its products during the first quarter. The improving price trend is likely to get reflected in the company’s second-quarter sales, benefiting the top line. This increasing price is likely to partially offset cost headwinds (including the higher cost of goods sold), unfavorable currency movements and loss of sales in Russia and Ukraine, leading to lower operating margins.
Loss of sales due to discontinued products and the exited businesses might have partially offset the gain from the new products.
Investors are likely to ask questions about potential product launches in the second half of 2022 and in 2023 and provide an update on the expected impact of COVID-19 in 2022.
