Foot Locker (FL) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Foot Locker, Inc. (FL - Free Report) is expected to register a decline in its top and bottom line from the last fiscal year’s respective quarterly reported figures when it releases second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Aug 19, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $2,071 million, indicating a drop of 9% from the prior fiscal year’s quarterly reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings currently stands at 83 cents per share, suggesting a decrease of 62.4% from the earlier fiscal year’s quarterly tally. The consensus mark has dipped a couple of cents over the past seven days.
A glance at this athletic shoes and apparel retailer’s performance over the trailing four quarters shows that it delivered an earnings surprise of 43%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Foot Locker has been facing supply-chain disruptions for a while now. Higher supply-chain expenses and deleveraged SG&A costs might have weighed on its margins and bottom-line performance in the to-be-reported quarter. On its last earnings call, management had cited that it expects the fiscal second quarter to be its toughest comparison year over year of the current fiscal year. It further added that stimulus headwinds persisted in the fiscal quarter under review.
However, management is consistently trying to improve performance through operational and financial initiatives. FL has been making efforts for a while to boost digital capabilities and strengthen assortments to aid growth. Foot Locker is progressing well with its FLX membership program and its strategic deals, including partnerships and acquisitions. These tailwinds might have contributed to earnings in the fiscal quarter under review.
