In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 42.9% and 1.7%, respectively.
CLAR’s earnings missed expectations in three of the trailing four quarters and met on the remaining occasion, the negative average surprise being 18.4%.
The Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2023 earnings per share has decreased to 8 cents from 9 cents over the past 30 days. This suggests a 60% year-over-year decline from the reported figure of earnings of 20 cents per share.
The consensus mark for total sales is pegged at $84.5 million, suggesting an 18.9% decline from the year-ago quarter’s value of $104.2 million.
Factors to Note
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the top line of Clarus is expected to have declined year over year due to soft contributions from its Precision Sport and Outdoor segments. The reduced sales trend is likely to have been impacted by lingering weakness at key North American retail accounts, and the European and international markets, along with challenging market conditions. Also, foreign exchange risks are concerns, given the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen against the Australian dollar.
For the to-be-reported quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales in the Outdoor and Precision Sport segments is pegged at $51 million and $12.9 million, suggesting a year-over-year decline of 7.3% and 57.4%, respectively.
Nonetheless, an increase in sales in the Adventure segment is likely to have offset the negative impacts of the other two segments to some extent in the fourth quarter. The consensus mark for sales of this segment is pegged at $20.6 million, suggesting 11.4% year-over-year growth.
Meanwhile, the company’s bottom line is likely to have been affected in the to-be-reported quarter due to increased operating expenses and costs related to e-commerce initiatives in the Outdoor segment.
