In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a whopping 190.9%. The top line declined, while the bottom line grew on a year-over-year basis.
PTVE’s earnings surpassed expectations in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on the remaining occasion, the average surprise being 127.2%.
How Are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2023 earnings per share has increased to 14 cents from 6 cents over the past 60 days. This suggests a 22.2% year-over-year decline from earnings of 18 cents.
The consensus mark for net revenues is pegged at $1.28 billion, suggesting a decline of 13% from the prior year reported figure of $1.48 billion.
Key Factors to Consider
Pactiv Evergreen's fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strong Foodservice segment performance, beverage merchandising restructuring and product innovations. This and the emphasis on portfolio optimizations by exiting non-core businesses and reallocating resources to core markets are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be reported quarter.
The successful implementation of the Pactiv Evergreen Production System and the optimization of its manufacturing and distribution network are expected to have driven improvements in fourth-quarter margins and free cash flow.
The company anticipates fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be between $825 million and $835 million compared with the prior expectations of $775 million to $800 million. Similarly, free cash flow is anticipated to exceed $250 million.
Lingering impacts from the closure of the North Carolina mill, Canton, (under the Food and Beverage Merchandising segment) are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s performance in the fourth reported quarter.
Higher interest rates and elevated inflation are expected to have negatively influenced customers’ purchasing decisions and order patterns in the to-be reported quarter.
