Hanesbrands Q3 Earnings on the Horizon: Key Insights for Investors
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hanesbrands (HBI - Free Report) is likely to register year-over-year bottom-line growth when it reports third-quarter 2024 earnings on Nov. 7, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has declined a penny in the past 30 days to 11 cents per share, suggesting an increase of 10% from the prior-year reported figure.
The consensus estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $928.3 million, indicating a drop of 38.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
HBI has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.2%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings surprise of 50%.
Hanesbrands has been grappling with a challenging macroeconomic consumer landscape. Inflation, market uncertainties and a tough consumer demand landscape have been impediments. At its last earnings call, Hanesbrands stated that it expects the macro consumer landscape to remain difficult across its categories while anticipating improvements in year-over-year sales trends as it moves through 2024.
For the third quarter of 2024, net sales from continuing operations are expected to be $920-$950 billion, including anticipated headwinds of almost $17 million from the U.S. Hosiery divestiture and a currency headwind of nearly $4 million. The midpoint of the guidance suggests a nearly 3% year-over-year decline on a reported basis and an approximately 1% decline on an organic basis at cc.
On the flip side, Hanesbrands’ foundational financial model has consistently been robust, characterized by healthy margins and steady cash generation. HBI has been seeing benefits from brand building, data analytics, inventory management and SKU discipline. The company has also undergone a strategic transformation by divesting its Global Champion business and exiting the U.S. outlet store business.
By exiting lower-margin businesses, the company has simplified its operations, positioning itself for more consistent growth and higher profit margins while boosting its cash generation capabilities. These upsides, along with a global consumer-centric approach, are likely to have contributed to the upcoming results.
