Factors Likely to Influence LEVI’s Q4 Results
Levi Strauss’ quarterly performance is likely to have benefited from omnichannel initiatives and brand strength, including jeanswear. The company has been strengthening its omni capabilities including Buy Online, Pick-up in Store, line-queuing, same-day delivery, mobile checkout and return capabilities, including contactless returns.
LEVI has been focused on elevating brands, investing in digital tools and capabilities and pacing up efforts to diversify across geographies, product categories and distribution channels. As part of its ongoing global productivity effort, Project Fuel, the company is on track to transition from a mainly owned-and-operated distribution and logistics network in the United States and Europe to a balanced owned and third-party logistics provider. Such strengths, along with its solid direct-to-consumer business, are likely to have bolstered the quarterly performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $936 million for Americas, $427 million for Europe and $262 million for Asia, indicating respective increases of 5.4%, 12.7%, and flat year over year.
However, a challenging operating backdrop, including supply-chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and foreign currency translations, is likely to have been a concern. These headwinds, coupled with deleveraged selling, general and administrative costs, are expected to have somewhat weighed on the company’s profitability.
