Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for PVH (PVH - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 10.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is PVH due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
PVH Corp Q2 Earnings & Revenues Surpass Estimates
PVH Corp posted solid second-quarter fiscal 2023 results. The bottom and top lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results gained from the strong execution of the PVH+ Plan and the continued momentum in its core brands — Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. The company witnessed double-digit revenue growth in its direct-to-consumer business in stores and online.
Q2 Highlights
PVH Corp reported adjusted earnings of $1.98 per share, down 4.8% from the year-ago quarter's $1.94. However, the bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.75.
In the fiscal second quarter, revenues rose 4% year over year (up 2% on a constant-currency or cc basis) to $2,207 million and surpassed the consensus mark of $2,186 million. This is mainly driven by the solid performance in its international businesses, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, continued growth in Europe and the North America direct-to-consumer business.
Direct-to-consumer revenues grew 11% year over year in the quarter, whereas Wholesale revenues fell 3% year over year. Revenues in the digital channel declined roughly 10% in the quarter under review.
The company's gross profit amounted to $1,272.3 million, up 4.3% year over year, surpassing our estimate of $1,267.2 million. The gross margin contracted 40 bps to 57.6% due to price increases, lower freight costs, and a favorable shift in regional and channel mix, which more than offset elevated inventory costs stemming from adverse currency.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.8% year over year to $1,099.5 million but lagged our estimate of $1,107.9.
The company’s adjusted earnings before interest and taxes totaled $182 million compared with $211 million in the prior-year quarter. Notably, our estimate was pegged at $253.2 million. This is mainly due to higher inventory costs and increased investments to support the company’s strategic initiatives. The metric also included $5 million of favorable foreign currency impacts.
