Read MoreHide Full Article
American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (AOUT - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Thursday after the closing bell. AOUT delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 70.6%. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 68.2%.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2025 revenues is pegged at $56.4 million, indicating a 5.6% gain from the prior-year period's level. Meanwhile, earnings are expected to be 14 cents per share, implying 75% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings has remained stable in the past 60 days.
Factors to Note Ahead of AOUT’s Q3 Results
The company's quarterly results are likely to be aided by its strong focus on product innovation and expanding distribution. AOUT's consistent pipeline of new products, modernized merchandising and cross-category innovation position it as a reliable partner for retailers. This strategy is likely to have driven growth and retail partnerships.
The company’s focus on the three key drivers for its innovation strategy bodes well. First, its evergreen pipeline of breakthrough products not only excites consumers but also addresses retailers' need for traffic-driving solutions, with some of its most revolutionary offerings yet to come. Second, it has modernized and rebranded key labels like BUBBA, Caldwell and BOG, featuring updated logos, sleek packaging and impactful displays that command attention on retail shelves. Third, AOUT positions itself as a cross-category innovation partner, offering retailers a diverse portfolio of high-quality and innovative brands.
Growth across all sales channels, including traditional retail, e-commerce, domestic and international markets, is likely to have aided the company’s top line.
However, on its early September earnings call, management indicated that gross margins for the second half of fiscal 2025 are expected to decline compared with the first two quarters. This anticipated reduction is primarily attributed to higher amortization costs tied to tariff and freight variances from increased inventory purchases in the first half of the year. Additionally, the impact of postponed second-quarter fiscal 2025 promotions, which are expected to take effect later in the year, is likely to have further hurt margins. Consequently, the company anticipates gross margins for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 to be around 45%.
