In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate and rose 6.6% year over year. Net sales beat the consensus estimate by 0.5% but decreased 1.7% from the year-ago level.
MHK’s earnings surpassed expectations in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 6.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mohawk’s earnings per share (EPS) has increased to $1.88 from $1.86 over the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a decrease of 4.1% from the year-ago level.
The consensus estimate for net sales is pegged at $2.57 billion, indicating a 1.8% decrease from the year-earlier level.
Factors That May Influence Mohawk’s Quarterly Results
Mohawk’s top line is expected to have declined year over year due to the ongoing residential market softness due to elevated mortgage rates and other macroeconomic challenges. Furthermore, weaknesses in the remodeling projects are likely to have negatively impacted the growth trend to some extent. The company’s commercial channel and the innovative product offering approach, which have been faring well, are expected to have been overshadowed by the aforementioned headwinds. Rising natural gas prices, unfavorable FX translation, and a slightly lower volume growth rate assumption in the Flooring North America segment, given the high current mortgage rate backdrop, are expected to have weighed on Mohawk’s fourth-quarter performance as well.
Our model expects fourth-quarter net sales in the Global Ceramic (which accounted for 38.9% of third-quarter net sales), Flooring North America (35.8%) and Flooring Rest of World (25.3%) segments to decline 1.8%, 0.6% and 4.7% to $975.6 million, $906.9 million and $673.3 million year over year, respectively.
Meanwhile, the bottom line of MHK is expected to have dropped in the to-be-reported quarter, given revenue pressure, FX and natural gas inflation year over year. Even though market pressure on pricing, mix and foreign exchange are headwinds, Mohawk’s efforts toward cost containment and realizing benefits through restructuring actions are likely to have more than offset the same.
The company expects adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.77-$1.87 (excluding restructuring and other charges).
We expect the adjusted gross margin to remain almost on par year over year at 24.7%. The adjusted operating margin is expected to decrease to 6.1% from 6.7% reported a year ago.
