The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Apogee’s earnings per share is pegged at 0.97 cents for the fiscal fourth quarter, suggesting growth of 12.8% from the prior-year quarter's reported figure. The consensus estimate has been unchanged over the past 60 days. The same for revenues is pegged at $342.9 million, indicating a 0.4% year-over-year decline.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Apogee’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the ongoing momentum in the Architectural Glass segment over the past few quarters. The impacts of improved pricing and product mix (reflecting the company’s strategic shift toward more premium products) are likely to get reflected in the segment’s top-line results in the quarter under review. Our model predicts the segment’s revenues to increase 16.7% year over year to $95 million.
The segment is also likely to have registered productivity gains from its Lean program. However, supply-chain challenges and inflation are likely to have impacted the segment’s performance. We expect the segment’s adjusted operating income to fall 25.4% from the prior-year reported figure to $7.1 million.
The Architectural Framing Systems segment is expected to reflect gains from pricing actions, and the benefits of completed restructuring and cost-saving actions. However, inflationary pressures, supply-chain disruptions and labor constraints are expected to have negatively impacted the segment’s performance.
We expect the segment’s quarterly revenues to be $143 million, suggesting a decline of 4% from the year-ago reported figure. Our model predicts Architectural Framing Systems’ adjusted operating income to be $14.3 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 8.4%.
The Architectural Services segment's revenues are pegged at $89 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 10.1%. The segment’s results will likely reflect the impacts of lower volumes from project executions. We predict the segment’s adjusted operating income to come in at $19.6, implying a rise from the prior-year quarter’s actual of $3.7 million.
The Large-Scale Optical segment’s results are likely to reflect lower volumes, partly offset by positive pricing. We predict net sales of $28 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 0.4%. Our model predicts the segment's adjusted operating income to fall 53.8% to $2.7 million.
