Things to Consider Ahead of THS’ Upcoming Results
TreeHouse Foods' private label products have consistently gained market share over the past two decades, and with grocery retailers making strategic investments in private brands, the company stands to benefit significantly. The elevated price gaps between national and private brands support continued growth in the private label sector.
The company has been benefiting from successful execution in categories such as cookies, refrigerated dough, pretzels and pickles, along with strategic investments and an expanding net sales pipeline. This strong market positioning is expected to have driven volumes and profits in the quarter under review. The company expects volume contributions from recent acquisitions in the coffee and pretzel sectors undertaken in the first half of the year.
TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
However, THS has been battling supply-chain headwinds for a while now. In the second quarter of 2024, operations and supply-chain-related challenges served as a headwind of $3 million due to increased labor costs and the broth facility restoration effect. High operating expenses and the inflated cost of inputs like cocoa are also a concern.
Nonetheless, the company has been committed to implementing the TreeHouse Management Operating System and other supply-chain initiatives aimed at enhancing execution, margin performance and enriching ties with customers. TreeHouse Foods expects gross cost savings of nearly $50 million in the latter half of the year and anticipates margin expansion in the second half of 2024. This bodes well for the quarter to be reported.
