BROS’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 41.6%.
Trend in the Estimate Revision of BROS
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at 16 cents, indicating a rise of 14.3% from 14 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $447.3 million. The metric suggests a rise of 25.9% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let us take a look at how things might have shaped up in the quarter to be reported.
Factors Likely to Shape BROS’ Quarterly Results
Dutch Bros’ first-quarter performance is likely to have been supported by same-shop sales growth, continued customer demand and ongoing expansion initiatives. The company guided to system same-shop sales growth of approximately 4% to 6% in the first quarter, supported by strong January trends.
Unit expansion is expected to have contributed to revenue growth in the first quarter. Dutch Bros expects to open approximately 30 system shops in the quarter, adding to its overall unit base. These openings are expected to contribute to incremental revenues during the period.
The scale of Dutch Rewards and continued adoption of Order Ahead are expected to have supported transactions in the first quarter. Additionally, the ongoing rollout of the food program is likely to have contributed to first-quarter sales.
However, elevated input costs are likely to have pressured profitability in the first quarter. The company expects approximately 200 basis points of cost of goods sold pressure in the quarter, primarily due to higher coffee costs. In addition, costs associated with the food program rollout and higher occupancy-related expenses are expected to have weighed on margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
