Things To Note
Prestige Consumer is encountering hurdles related to escalated cost inflation. Rising cost inflation has been hurting the company’s gross margin performance. In addition, Prestige Consumer is battling challenges related to the supply chain. The persistence of these aspects might be a concern for the quarter to be reported. Management expects earnings per share (EPS) between $1.03 and $1.05 in the to-be-reported quarter.
In its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects fiscal first-quarter revenues in the range of $267-$270 million. The projection reflects an unfavorable year-over-year comparison related to retailer reorder timing in some COVID-impacted categories. That said, brand-building efforts and pricing actions have been acting as upsides. Also, the company’s multi-year e-commerce investments have been yielding favorably.
