In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 105% and 2%, respectively.
The company reported better-than-expected earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on the remaining one occasion, the average surprise being 29.9%.
What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2024 earnings per share has increased to 12 cents from 10 cents over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates an increase of 71.4% from the earnings of 7 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter.
For net sales, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $284.5 million. The metric suggests a decline of 3.8% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let’s take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors to Note
The first-quarter fiscal 2024 net sales of Interface are likely to have declined year over year due to soft contributions from its reportable segments including Americas or AMS (58% of total net sales in 2023), and Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia or EAAA (42% of total net sales in 2023). The downtrend is primarily attributable to softness in the retail sector, driven mostly by project deferrals and uncertain macroeconomic conditions.
The company expects its first-quarter net sales between $280 million and $290 million, down from $295.8 million reported in the year-ago quarter.
Nonetheless, demand strength in education and corporate offices is likely to have partially offset the aforementioned headwinds to some extent in the quarter. Also, the company’s marketing and sales initiatives along with investments in product development are likely to have been additional benefits.
Meanwhile, Interface’s bottom line for the quarter is expected to have benefited year over year thanks to strong execution from its selling organization to hold price, favorable product mix and raw material input cost deflation. Also, efficient capital allocation strategies are likely to have bode well during the quarter.
The company expects to achieve an adjusted gross margin of 36% in the first quarter, which is up from 33.3% reported in the year-ago quarter.
