Read MoreHide Full Article
The Procter & Gamble Company (PG - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Apr 21, before the opening bell. The company is expected to deliver sales and earnings declines in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.32 per share, indicating a 0.8% decrease from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has been unchanged in the past 30 days. For fiscal third-quarter revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $19.32 billion, suggesting a 0.3% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
We expect the company’s fiscal third-quarter total revenues to decline 2.8% year over year to $18,824.6 million and the bottom line to fall 1% to $1.32 per share.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 0.6%. It has delivered a bottom-line beat of 1.05%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Procter & Gamble Company (The) Price and EPS Surprise
Procter & Gamble has been experiencing higher freight, commodity and input material costs, which have been affecting its performance. The company’s gross margin for the fiscal third quarter is likely to have been under pressure, due to the continued impacts of commodity and input material cost inflation, higher freight costs, a negative product mix, other impacts and increased product and packaging investments. Currency movements are expected to have negatively impacted all-in sales growth and earnings per share in the to-be-reported quarter.
On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, Procter & Gamble predicted higher commodity and freight costs to persist throughout fiscal 2023. Our estimate indicates a 3.3% year-over-year decline in gross profit for the fiscal third quarter with the gross margin contracting 20 bps.
Currency headwinds are likely to have hurt the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Rising input costs are expected to have weighed on the fiscal third-quarter performance. Our estimate indicates a 4.2% impact from currency headwinds in the fiscal third quarter.
Procter & Gamble has been gaining from improved productivity and persistent demand for cleaning products. The company’s third-quarter fiscal 2023 results are expected to reflect the benefits of continued strength in brands and appropriate strategies, which have been aiding organic sales growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for organic sales growth is pegged at 1.3%.
The company has been focused on productivity and cost-saving plans, which have helped its margins. PG has been witnessing cost savings and efficiency improvements across all facets of its business, driven by the productivity program. Its continued business investments and efforts to offset macro cost headwinds and achieve balanced top- and bottom-line growth underscore its productivity efforts. Gains from productivity savings and pricing are expected to have aided margins and the bottom line in the fiscal third quarter.
Moreover, the company is likely to have witnessed SG&A expense leverage, owing to savings from overhead and marketing expenses and cost leverage gains due to higher sales and real estate. Our estimate indicates a 100 bps decline in SG&A expense for the fiscal third quarter.
