In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.7% but declined 18.3% year over year. Net sales missed the consensus estimate by 1.8% and declined 0.7% year over year.
MHK’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 5.1%.
How Are Estimates Placed for Mohawk Stock?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mohawk’s earnings per share (EPS) has remained unchanged at $2.63 over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a decrease of 12.3% from the year-ago level.
The consensus estimate for net sales is pegged at $2.79 billion, indicating a 0.3% decrease from the year-earlier level.
Factors That Might Have Influenced MHK’s Quarterly Results
Mohawk’s top and bottom lines are expected to have declined in the second quarter due to the ongoing macroeconomic and industry headwinds, with ongoing softness in the residential remodeling market caused by elevated interest rates, low housing turnover and a cautious consumer environment. These pressures are expected to have weighed on both sales volumes and pricing power in the to-be-reported quarter.
Our model expects second-quarter net sales in the Global Ceramic, which accounted for 39.3% of first-quarter 2025 net sales, and Flooring Rest of World (26.6%) segments to decline 0.5% and 1.2%, respectively, to $1.1 billion and $718.5 million year over year. Meanwhile, net sales in Flooring North America (34.1%) are expected to increase 0.1% year over year to $959.1 million. The commercial demand trends in the Flooring North America segment are likely to have benefited from accelerated product launches and the ongoing restructuring actions.
Cost inflation remains a critical headwind, particularly in raw materials, labor and energy. Though Mohawk has been actively pursuing pricing actions in select categories and implementing cost reductions, management acknowledged that it will be difficult to fully offset rising costs through pricing alone.
The company expects second-quarter adjusted EPS in the range of $2.52-$2.62, excluding restructuring and other charges. This indicates a decline from the year-ago EPS of $3. We expect the adjusted gross margin to decline 170 bps year over year to 25.4%. The adjusted operating margin is expected to decrease to 7.7% from 9.2% reported a year ago.
Nonetheless, Mohawk is leaning on strategic levers to support performance. Restructuring efforts across business units are expected to yield $100 million in incremental savings in 2025 and $285 million on a run-rate basis by 2026. Also, strategic investments in new products are likely to have aided sales. These innovations, particularly in premium laminate and LVT, are expected to provide long-term pricing and margin benefits.
