Factors to Know Ahead of Spectrum Brands' (SPB) Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (SPB - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Aug 6, before the opening bell. This global consumer products company is likely to have witnessed revenue and earnings growth in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter earnings moved 7% south to $1.59 per share in the past 30 days. However, the consensus mark indicates an improvement of 16.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $1,140 million, indicating growth of 15.8% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 83.3%. It delivered an earnings surprise of 83.1%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Factors to Note
Spectrum Brands has been benefiting from solid demand and new product launches, which are driving growth in all business categories. Positive product mix and better productivity related to the Global Productivity Improvement Program have been key drivers. The Global Productivity Improvement Plan, which aims at improving its operating efficiency and effectiveness, is likely to have contributed to revenues in the fiscal third-quarter results.
In sync with its Global Productivity Improvement Plan, the company’s Global Pet Care business remains on track with exiting non-core assets to focus on core brands. The newly acquired Omega Sea and Armitage Pet Care brands are expected to have favored the segment’s growth in the quarter under review. Management is also on track with its plans to tap into the aquatics and reptile space. Strong e-commerce sales along with a spike in demand for aquatics and reptile kits and equipment act as key growth drivers. In fact, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales in this unit is pegged at $291 million, which implies an increase of 20.2% year over year.
However, it is still reeling under increased advertising and marketing costs and elevated incentive and distribution expenses. Higher freight and raw-material costs along with pandemic-led supply-related disruptions and gross tariff headwinds remain significant concerns.
