Delta Apparel (DLA) Queued for Q1 Earnings: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Delta Apparel, Inc. is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Feb 7, after the market closes. The bottom line of this designer and manufacturer of activewear and lifestyle apparel is expected to decrease year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.07 for first-quarter earnings per share has been revised in the past 30 days to a loss per share of 54 cents from a loss per share of 23 cents. The revised figure compares unfavorably with earnings of 51 cents per share seen in the year-ago period.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues stands at $106 million, indicating a fall of 4.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
This Duluth, GA-based company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 106.6%.
Key Things to Note
Delta Apparel’s quarterly results might reflect the impacts of a tough operating backdrop, including supply-chain headwinds and inflationary pressures. In addition, DLA has been encountering cost-related hurdles for a while now.
In addition, the company has been witnessing certain demand-related headwinds in the mass retail channel. These weaknesses and any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses might have hurt Delta Apparel’s margins in the quarter under review.
On Jan 5, 2023, management announced the preliminary sales results for the quarter under review. It expects total first-quarter net sales of roughly $106 million, backed by a 17% sales increase in the Salt Life Group segment. This includes double-digit growth in its direct-to-consumer retail and e-commerce channels along with strength in its wholesale customer base.
The company also informed that its Delta Group segment saw a 20% increase at DTG2Go versus the year-earlier quarter. Its Global Brands and Retail Direct channels also experienced double-digit sales growth for the quarter under review.

You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Delta Apparel has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and Earnings ESP of 0.00%, making surprise prediction difficult.
