Skechers (SKX) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (SKX - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth from the respective year-ago reported figure when it reports second-quarter 2023 earnings on Jul 27 after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $1,904 million, indicating a rise of 2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is 52 cents, suggesting a decrease of about 10.3% from the year-ago period’s tally. We note that the consensus mark has increased a penny over the past 30 days.
This designer, developer, marketer and distributor of lifestyle and performance footwear delivered an earnings surprise of 67.2% in the last reported quarter. SKX has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 18.8%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Skechers has been enhancing its digital capabilities, including augmenting its website features and mobile applications. Strong wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses continue aiding SKX’s overall performance. Also, efforts and innovation related to comfort technology footwear have been yielding results. Our consensus estimate for the direct-to-consumer unit is pegged at $762.8 million, showing growth of 4.9% year over year for the quarter under review.
Skechers’ emphasis on a new line of products, store-remodeling projects, prudent inventory management and momentum in direct-to-consumer business are likely to have contributed to the company’s top-line performance in the quarter under review. SKX’s international business remains a significant sales driver. Management continues to expand SKX’s global reach in the footwear market through distribution networks, subsidiaries and joint ventures. Our consensus estimate for the wholesale’s international business is pegged at $722.2 million, showing growth of 16.6% year over year for the second quarter.
All the aforesaid factors are quite likely to have benefited Skechers’ performance during the quarter under review. On its last earnings call, management projected sales to be between $1.85 billion and $1.90 billion for the second quarter.
While the aforementioned factors raise optimism about the stock, the inflationary pressures cannot be ignored. Any deleverage in operating expenses is likely to have been an added deterrent. These weaknesses are expected to have weighed on the company’s bottom line during the quarter under review. Management had earlier envisioned earnings per share of 40-50 cents for the quarter under review.
