Columbia Sportswear (COLM) to Post Q3 Earnings: Things to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Columbia Sportswear Company (COLM - Free Report) is likely to register top and bottom-line growth from the respective year-ago quarter’s readings when it reports third-quarter 2022 earnings on Oct 27. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at nearly $966 million, indicating an increase of about 20% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been unchanged in the past 30 days at $1.67 per share, indicating a 9.9% increase from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter. This designer, marketer and distributor of outdoor, active and everyday lifestyle apparel, footwear and accessories has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 61.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, COLM’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 175%.
Things to Consider
Columbia Sportswear is committed to enhancing its global direct-to-consumer (DTC) business through accelerated investments. COLM’s DTC e-commerce business has been robust for a while now. In addition, it is benefiting from a solid performance across its brands. Management remains committed to undertaking brand-enhancing and unique marketing initiatives to strengthen COLM’s position. Continuation of these factors is most likely to boost results during the quarter under review.
On its second-quarter earnings call, management had projected net sales growth of around 20% for the third quarter, mainly backed by the sale of its fall 2022 order book and a modest direct-to-consumer (DTC) advancement. It anticipated net sales growth of 9-12% for the second half of 2022. Management had envisioned earnings per share in the range of $3.85-$4.25 for the second half. An EPS of $3.91 was reported in the same period last year.
Increased promotional activity to rationalize the inventory and supply-chain hurdles remains a concern. Columbia Sportswear has been seeing higher SG&A costs for a while now.
