Factors Likely to Shape Orion Energy's (OESX) Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (OESX - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Feb 6, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings of 22 cents per share handily beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 214.3% and revenues outpaced the same by 43.3%. This provider of LED lighting and turnkey energy project solutions (including controls and integrated IoT capabilities) had recorded a year-ago loss of 8 cents per share. Revenues of $48.3 million jumped significantly from $13.2 million a year ago.
Revenues and earnings increased significantly in the fiscal second quarter. Its quarterly revenues more than tripled and net income was recorded at $6.7 million. The upside was mainly due to a $110-million national account contract booked earlier in 2019, which is set to be completed by the end of fiscal 2020 (ending Mar 31).
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings has increased 250% to 7 cents per share over the past seven days. This indicates a significant jump from the year-ago loss of 2 cents per share. The consensus mark for revenues is $27.8 million, suggesting a 70.8% year-over-year improvement.
Orion Energy’s revenues for the fiscal second quarter are like to have benefited from increased products and services for turnkey LED lighting retrofit solutions provided to a major national account customer. The company’s national account segment has been a primary growth driver of business, not only from the existing retail, automotive, public sectors and other ongoing accounts, but also from new customer relationships. Improvement from its energy service company (ESCO) and agency-driven distribution channels are expected to have added to the positives.
Overall, continued successful execution of a large turnkey design-build-install project for LED lighting systems and controls in the national accounts business are likely to have contributed to top-line growth.
Higher revenues and ongoing efforts to optimize service, sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies are expected to have expanded its margins, thereby increasing profitability in the fiscal second quarter.
