Red Robin (RRGB) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (RRGB - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on May 26, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 80.7%.
The Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal first-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 68 cents per share, indicating a deterioration of 126.7% from a loss of 30 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $379.2 million. The projection suggests an increase of 16.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the quarter to be reported.
Factors at Play
Red Robin's fiscal first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from pent-up demand, solid off-premise sales, Donatos expansion and new product offerings (Cheesy Bacon Fondue Burger and Scorpion Gourmet Burger). This and the easing of restrictions and improved dine-in sales are likely to have boosted the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
Increased focus on the digital platform is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the fiscal first quarter. During the previous quarter, the company made solid progress in its digital space regarding a new loyalty platform, two new mobile apps (in iOS and Android platforms) and a new website. The company initiated enhancements in communication capabilities (through segmentation and personalized messaging based upon purchase history) covering Red Robin Royalty. Also, it announced the integration of the mobile apps with its newly-enhanced Royalty platform. Given the emphasis on tailored messaging (in a cost-effective manner) and solid customer engagement, the initiatives are likely to have boosted higher-order conversion and increased guest frequency in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, coronavirus-induced labor shortages and supply chain challenges are likely to have dented the company’s performance in the fiscal first quarter. Also, rising consumer inflation levels are likely to have affected margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
