Here's How Levi Strauss (LEVI) Looks Just Ahead of Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI - Free Report) is likely to register top-line and bottom-line declines when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on Jan 25 after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been stable over the past 30 days at 31 cents and suggests a decrease of 24.4% from the year-earlier quarter’s tally. The consensus estimate for quarterly revenues stands at $1,582 million, which indicates a dip of 6.4% from the year-ago quarter’s level.
For fiscal 2022, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has been stable over the past 30 days at $1.46 and suggests a marginal drop from the $1.47 earned last fiscal. The consensus estimate for quarterly revenues stands at $6.16 billion, which indicates an improvement of about 6.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
A glimpse of the company’s performance over the trailing four quarters reveals that it has delivered an earnings surprise of 11.6%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the consensus mark by 8.1%.
Key Factors to Note
Levi Strauss’ fourth-quarter results were hurt by the challenging operating backdrop, including supply-chain bottlenecks, inflationary pressures and a promotional landscape. Additionally, unfavorable currency fluctuations and stiff competition remain concerns. Deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses, including increased distribution expenses and strategic investments in IT and direct-to-consumer business, along with the aforesaid headwinds might have weighed on the company’s profitability during the quarter under review.
However, Levi Strauss’ omnichannel initiatives and brand strength appear encouraging. The company has been strengthening its omni capabilities including Buy Online, Pick-up in Store, line-queuing, same-day delivery, mobile checkout and return capabilities including contactless returns. LEVI has been elevating brands, investing in digital tools and capabilities and pacing up efforts to diversify across geographies, product categories and distribution channels.
