Vista Outdoor (VSTO) to Post Q1 Earnings: What to Expect?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jul 29. In the last-reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 54.6%.
How Are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter earnings per share (“EPS”) is pegged at 89 cents, suggesting growth of 74.5% from 51 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $614.9 million, indicating an improvement of 28.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
Let’s discuss factors that are likely to get reflected in the quarter to be reported.
Factors at Play
Vista Outdoor’s fiscal first-quarter results are likely to have benefited from increased demand in commercial ammunitions and outdoor recreation categories. Contributions from Remington and Hevi-Shot acquisitions, solid demand for shooting sports accessories from first-time firearm buyers, and growing ammo backlog are likely to get reflected in the fiscal first-quarter top line. During the prior-quarter earnings call, the company stated that it expects to generate more than $50 million in sales from the Remington acquisition in fiscal first-quarter 2022. It expects overall sales in the range of $600-$620 million and EPS in the range of 80-90 cents for the fiscal first quarter.
Increased emphasis on R&D, product innovation, digital marketing and e-commerce enhancements are likely to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter revenues from Shooting Sports and Outdoor Products is pegged at $426 million and $189 million, indicating growth of 27.5% and 30.4%, respectively, from the prior- year quarter.
However, supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic, along with an increase in commodity, freight and product costs, are likely to weigh on margins during the fiscal-first quarter.
