Skechers (SKX) Lined Up for Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (SKX - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth when it reports third-quarter 2023 earnings on Oct 26 after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2,007 million, indicating a rise of 6.9% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for third-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 77 cents, suggesting an increase of about 40% from the year-ago period’s tally. This estimate has remained stable over the past 30 days, underscoring the market's confidence in Skechers' performance.
This designer, developer, marketer and distributor of lifestyle and performance footwear stunned analysts with an earnings surprise of 88.5% in the last reported quarter. SKX has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 39.1%, on average.
On its last earnings call, management guided sales between $1.95 billion and $2 billion and earnings in the band of 70 cents-75 cents a share for the third quarter.
Key Factors to Note
Skechers’ strategic emphasis on expanding the direct-to-consumer business, enhancing the brand's global presence and delivering innovative and high-quality products to consumers stands out as a pivotal driver for its revenues. The company’s focus on expanding the retail network, advancing its omnichannel presence and strengthening distribution capabilities has been instrumental in fortifying its market position and ensuring sustained growth.
We anticipate direct-to-consumer revenues to increase 14.5% in the third quarter. This growth is fueled by expected improvements of 11.7% and 17.1% in the domestic and international direct-to-consumer businesses, respectively.
SKX’s international business remains a significant sales driver. The company's success in diverse regions, such as the Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality products tailored to regional preferences. We expect the international wholesale business to increase 7.9% in the third quarter. This is in sharp contrast with the domestic wholesale business, which is expected to decline 8.1% year over year.
Apart from the aforementioned factors, Skechers' disciplined approach to managing operating expenses is likely to have contributed to the company’s bottom-line performance. Despite higher general and administrative expenses in the last reported quarter, these investments have supported the company's volume-driven growth in the direct-to-consumer segment and international markets. We foresee an operating margin expansion of 150 basis points in the third quarter.
