Ollie's Bargain's (OLLI) Q2 Earnings in Focus: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (OLLI - Free Report) is likely to register a decrease in the top line when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2021 numbers on Aug 26, after the market closes. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $436.7 million, indicating a decline of 17.5% from the prior-year quarter.
The bottom line of this extreme value retailer of brand name merchandise is expected to decline year over year. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 57 cents over the past 30 days. The figure suggests decline from earnings of $1.04 per share reported in the year-ago period.
The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 16.7%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Harrisburg, PA-based company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 21.2%.
Key Factors to Note
Ollie's Bargain second-quarter performance is likely to have witnessed tough year-over-year comparisons in sales, as COVID-19 benefits are lapped. Again, ongoing supply chain pressure, higher transportation expenses and labor costs might have impacted the margins. The company has been witnessing deleverage in SG&A expense for quite some time now due to increase in number of stores and variable selling expense.
Nonetheless, the company’s operating model of “buying cheap and selling cheap”, cost-containment efforts, focus on store productivity and expansion of customer reward program — Ollie's Army should have provided some cushion. It has been making an effort to create an alignment between value driven merchandise and customer demand.
