Factors to Note Ahead of Latham’s Quarterly Results
Latham’s top line is expected to have been hurt by the ongoing macroeconomic risks and soft industry conditions resulting in a decline in sales volume. Product lines, including in-ground swimming pools, liners and covers are expected to have witnessed the primary sales decline. Moreover, headwinds from lower sales price are also likely to have added to the downtrend.
Although benefits from strategic growth initiatives and the acquisition of Coverstar Central are likely to have been encouraging for the prospects, the headwinds mentioned above are expected to have overshadowed the positives to a great extent.
On the other hand, the bottom line of SWIM is expected to have gained year over year on the back of its previously announced restructuring programs, the impact of production efficiencies resulting from lean manufacturing and value engineering programs, cost control initiatives and lower raw material costs.
The company has been tackling the challenging industry conditions with the help of strategic efforts meant to improve its cost structure, driving productivity gains and reducing working capital needs.
