Here's How Zumiez (ZUMZ) is Poised Ahead of Q2 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ - Free Report) is likely to post a decrease in the top and bottom lines from the respective year-ago quarter’s reported figures when it announces second-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on Sep 8, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly sales is pegged at $233 million, indicating a decline of 13.4% from the year-ago quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at 47 cents a share, suggesting a plunge of 53.9% from the year-ago fiscal period. The consensus mark has dipped 3 cents in the past 30 days.
A glimpse of this Lynnwood, WA-based player’s performance shows that it delivered a negative earnings surprise of 24.2% in the trailing four quarters, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Zumiez’s quarterly performance might have been hurt by a challenging operating landscape, including numerous headwinds like supply-chain bottlenecks, inflation, higher logistics costs and a tight labor market. Any deleverage in SG&A costs might have been added deterrents.
On its last earnings call, management had guided second-quarter fiscal 2022 net sales between $232 million and $239 million, which suggests a decline from $268.7 million reported in the year-ago period. It had projected consolidated operating margins in the range of 5-6.5% with earnings per share of 45-55 cents versus 94 cents earned in the year-earlier quarter.
In addition, management had shared updates for May on its last earnings call. Net sales for the four-week period ended May 28, 2022 fell 20.9% year over year and 3.3% from the level during the four-week period ended Jun 1, 2019. From a regional perspective, net sales of the North American business fell 23.5% year over year in the aforementioned period, while the metric at the Other international business dipped 0.3% from last year’s level. All categories were down in total sales from the year-ago period’s level. Men's remained the most negative category, followed by hard goods, accessories, women's and footwear for the four-week period.
On the positive front, we cannot ignore Zumiez’s efforts to mitigate these challenges. The company’s consumer-centric approach, merchandise initiatives and expense management remain encouraging. ZUMZ has been focused on store-expansion and omni-channel efforts.
