PVH Q1 Earnings on the Horizon: Here's What Lies Ahead for the Stock
Read MoreHide Full Article
PVH Corporation (PVH - Free Report) is likely to post a year-over-year decline in its top and bottom lines when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on June 4, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $1.9 billion, indicating a drop of 0.8% from the prior-year number.
Although the consensus estimate for earnings has moved up a penny to $2.23 per share, the metric indicates a decline of about 9% year over year.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.5%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 16.4%, on average. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)
Factors Likely to Impact PVH’s Q1 Earnings
PVH Corp’s first-quarter fiscal 2025 results are likely to reflect the impacts of a challenging operating backdrop. Higher raw material costs and currency headwinds are likely to have been concerning. Increased investments in direct-to-consumer and international businesses are likely to have added to extra costs and hurt profitability. Elevated freight costs, due to disruptions in key sourcing locations, further add to the margin pressures.
In addition, the company has been witnessing sluggishness in its Heritage Brands segment for quite some time now, owing to the decline in the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business. The wholesale channel remains under pressure, owing to a decline in sales of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business and PVH Corp.’s ongoing efforts to reduce sales in Europe. Aforesaid limitations are likely to have hurt PVH’s sales and earnings performance during the to-be-reported quarter.
On its last earnings call, management had anticipated revenues to be flat to down 2% (flat to down 1% in constant currency) year over year for the fiscal first quarter. It had forecast the gross margin to contract roughly 250 basis points, due to higher freight costs and incremental discounts owing to the Calvin Klein product delays. PVH had then envisioned first-quarter operating margin to be 8-8.5%, down 150-200 basis points year over year. Interest expenses are anticipated to increase to $20 million compared with $18 million in the first quarter of 2024.
PVH Corp. had projected earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis, in the range of $2.10-$2.25 for the impending quarter, lower than the $2.45 reported in the year-ago quarter. This view included an unfavorable currency impact of five cents a share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Calvin Klein and Heritage Brands Wholesale sales is currently pegged at $876 million and $43.2 million, respectively, indicating a year-over-year drop of 1.2% and 16.9%.
While these factors raise concerns about the outcome, PVH Corp.’s PVH+ Plan appears encouraging. The plan mainly aims at accelerating growth by boosting its core strengths and connecting its key brands with the consumers. PVH aims to deliver top-tier products as it focuses on driving growth in its key categories. PVH plans to expand in global markets where its iconic brands already connect strongly with consumers. Gains from these efforts are likely to have provided some cushion to the quarterly performance.
