Factors to Note Regarding SiteOne’s Q3 Performance

SiteOne Landscape has been active on the acquisition front as it continues to broaden its market reach and boost its portfolio of landscape supplies and services. The company has completed six acquisitions so far this year. Of this, two were completed in the first half, three in the third quarter and one in October.  

We expect these acquisitions, along with sustained momentum in the maintenance end market, to have supported SITE’s third-quarter revenue growth. However, this strength is likely to have been partially offset by flat pricing and weak demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets amid the ongoing economic uncertainty.

Gross margin is anticipated to have improved on higher sales volumes and the company’s ongoing cost-reduction initiatives. Additionally, SiteOne Landscape has been successfully lowering SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales. The operating leverage improvement reflects its actions to increase efficiency and better align operating costs with the current market demand.

Overall, a combination of higher revenues and lower costs is expected to have driven an improvement in SiteOne Landscape’s third-quarter earnings.

SITE Stock’s Price Performance

SiteOne Landscape shares have lost 5.1% so far this year against the industry’s 1.7% growth.
