Here's What to Expect From FAT Brands' (FAT) Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
FAT Brands Inc. (FAT - Free Report) is scheduled to report fiscal fourth-quarter 2023 results on Mar 7, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7% and 2.2%, respectively.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.55 per share. In the year-ago quarter, the company had reported a loss of $2.60 per share.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $150 million, suggesting 44.5% growth from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
Factors to Note
FAT Brands' fiscal fourth-quarter top line is likely to have benefited from robust company-owned restaurant revenues, system-wide sales growth and increased franchise fees. This and growth in new restaurant openings across the company’s diversified brand portfolio as well as strategic buyout initiatives are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The emphasis on organic growth strategy and proactive signing of franchise development agreements on the back of a strong brand management platform bodes well. Leveraging the high demand for its brands in the market, FAT Brands expects to open approximately 54 new restaurants in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023.
Meanwhile, the company’s bottom line is likely to have been affected in the to-be-reported quarter by high costs and expenses.
