TreeHouse Foods (THS) to Post Q3 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (THS - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2023 earnings on Nov 6, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TreeHouse Foods’ quarterly bottom line has increased by a penny in the past 30 days to 48 cents per share. This shows an improvement from earnings of 18 cents per share reported in the year-earlier quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $954.5 million for the quarter under review, suggesting year-over-year growth of 9.1%. The manufacturer and distributor of private-label packaged foods and beverages has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 31.4%, on average. TreeHouse Foods delivered an earnings surprise of 5% in the last reported quarter.
Key Factors to Consider
TreeHouse Foods is expected to have benefited from solid demand for its snacking, beverages and grocery product categories in the third quarter. Encouraged by the robust demand for private-label products, management has been focused on fulfilling customer orders with enhanced services across most categories. The supply chain normalization is likely to have improved order deliveries, augmenting its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company has always been focused on expanding its product offerings through buyouts. The acquisition of the Farmer Brothers Company's Northlake, TX, coffee facility and Direct Ship coffee business, along with the addition of a seasoned pretzel capability to its portfolio, are anticipated to have positively impacted the company’s top-line performance. Also, its effective pricing strategies and a strong emphasis on cost-saving initiatives are likely to have boosted margins in the quarter under review.
On its last reported quarter's earnings call, TreeHouse Foods projected third-quarter revenues to be in the range of $950-$970 million, implying 10% year-over-year growth at the mid-point. The growth is likely to have been driven by volume/mix, including the volume from the coffee business acquisition. The company expects adjusted EBITDA of $81-$89 million for the quarter, suggesting 11% year-over-year growth at the mid-point.
On the flip side, the company has been bearing the brunt of rising costs and expenses associated with labor and investments in manufacturing facilities. In the first two quarters of 2023, the company’s cost of sales increased by 5.8% on a year-over-year basis. Any deleverage in operating expenses might have hurt the company’s margins and profitability in the quarter under review.
