Factors to Know Ahead of Ollie's Bargain (OLLI) Q1 Earnings

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. OLLI is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2023 numbers on Jun 7 before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $450.9 million, indicating an increase of 10.9% from the prior-year quarter.

The bottom line of this extreme-value retailer of brand-name merchandise is anticipated to have more than doubled year over year. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 49 cents over the past 30 days.

The company has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 17.9%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Harrisburg, PA-based company’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5%.

Key Factors to Consider

Ollie's Bargain’s business operating model of “buying cheap and selling cheap,” cost-containment efforts, focus on store productivity and the expansion of the customer loyalty program, Ollie's Army, are likely to have contributed to the top-line performance.

The company’s focus on value-driven merchandise assortments positioned it well to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace and effectively meet consumer demand. Ollie's Army continued to be a major sales driver, with membership increasing continuously.

While the aforementioned factors raise optimism about the outcome, margins still remain an area to watch. Any deleverage in SG&A expenses due to higher selling expenses associated with new store unit growth, as well as investments in wages and higher utility costs, may have a direct bearing on margins.
