Operator

Good day. My name is Ian, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the H&R Block Fiscal 2018 earnings call. All…

H&R Block, Inc.

Consumer Discretionary -  Diversified Consumer Services | June 12th AMC

H&R Block, Inc. will release their FQ4 ‘18 earnings report today after the close. Estimize consensus and wall street both anticipate an EPS of $5.26, a 40% YoY growth. We expect a revenue of $2.329B – a 0% YoY growth – while Wall Street expects $2.328B in revenue.

H&R Block provides tax preparation as well as business and payroll consulting services. This will be HRB’s strongest quarter of the year because it covers tax season. Trump said that his tax reform would put H&R Block out of business, but the company saw a 2.6% increase tax returns prepared this year. Additionally, HRB has revamped its online offerings in order to better compete with Intuit’s TurboTax.

Urban Outfitters (URBN): About a month ago, Urban Outfitters reported preliminary sales results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2017. In the three months ending January 31, net sales increased 2% from a year earlier to $1.03 billion. Comparable retail sales, including booming direct to consumer channels, came in flat largely on lower retailer comparable sales. Wholesale segments decreased 1% during the period but ended the year 1% higher than fiscal 2016. Nonetheless, analyst at Estimize expect profitability to drop by 6% with estimate activity steadily declining over the past 3 months.

Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS): Shares tumbled nearly 12% in the past 3 months despite beating analysts expectations for 2 consecutive quarters and management raising full year fiscal 2016 guidance. The past two reports exceeded both Wall Street and the more bullish estimates at Estimize by a significant margin on efforts to expand online capabilities and drive traffic through strategic marketing initiatives. Dick’s also intends to leverage the intellectual property of Sports Authority it purchased last year to improve sales and open new stores. It recently announced the grand opening of five new stores  across the United States, one of which occupies a former Sports Authority location.

H&R Block (HRB): HRB delivered negative earnings growth in 4 of the past 5 quarters resulting in weak price movement immediately following each report. Shares have dropped about 26% in the past 12 months in response to the string of weak reports with the upcoming report expected to be more of the same. Analysts at Estimize forecast a 26% decline on the bottom line combined with a 5% drop on the top. HRB faces a slew of litigation fees in connection with its operating activities that could push margins further below consensus estimates. Weak underlying fundamentals and unimpressive initiatives will continue to stress performance

Lululemon (LULU): Investors have begun to write off the athleisure trends that lifted Lululemon for so many years. The stock has taken a beating in response to this perceived weakness in the space. Shares are down 14% in the past 6 months and historically drop 2% immediately following an earnings report. Analysts at Estimize expect the slowdown to continue with forecasted comparisons of a 25% increase on the bottom line and 13% on the top for tomorrow's report. Lululemon’s new focus centered around geographic expansion and a heavier emphasis on its new men’s category should help negate some of the expected losses. But given LULU’s high price points and reluctance to discount in this challenging retail environment, a near term turnaround seems highly unlikely.

Costco (COST): Costco is one of the few retailers that still announces financials on a monthly basis, leaving quarterly reports less of a mystery. The biggest number typically released during these reports is membership growth. Investors were pleasantly surprised last quarter after memberships surpassed their tepid expectations. It was believed that Costco would lose members after switching its house credit card to Visa from Amex. As for financial performance, revenue for the fiscal first quarter came in 3% higher from a year earlier at $27.47 billion. Comparable store sales were steady at 1% and about 2% excluding impacts from gasoline prices and foreign exchange rates. These results are relatively in line with the past 3 quarters

H&R Block (HRB): HRB delivered negative growth in 3 of the past 4 quarters resulting in weak price movement immediately following each report. Shares have dropped about 33.5% this year in response to the string of weak reports with the upcoming expected to be more of the same.. Analysts at Estimize are forecasting a 32% decline on the bottom line combined with a 2% drop on the top. HRB faces a slew of litigation fees in connection with its operating activities that could push margins further below consensus estimates. Weak underlying fundamentals and unimpressive initiatives will continue to stress performance

United Natural Foods (UNFI): UNFI continues to see increasing demand for its wholesale offerings of organic and natural food products. This group of products has the largest upside given consumers newfound eating habits. Productivity initiatives and improved operation efficiency helped UNFI reach this point where it can now make acquisitions to bolster its position in target markets. Unfortunately as more companies begin to offer healthy products, a price war will ensue that could undercut profits and revenue growth.
