Segment wise, the North American business segment (accounted for 82.4% of third quarter sales) is expected to have declined in the fourth quarter due to lower wholesale channel sales. Direct sales are also likely to have suffered from prevailing macroeconomic pressures. The International business (17.6%) is expected to have been pressurized mainly due to wholesale channel and currency headwinds.
TPX expects North America sales to fall in the high-single digits and International sales are likely to be down in the high teens. Foreign exchange headwinds are anticipated to have reduced sales by $65 million and earnings by $15 million. This apart, launch expenses of $25 million to support the Stearns & Foster products, including $10 million of sales and marketing expenses, is expected to have ailed margins. Advertising investments are likely to have been similar to the third quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for North America sales of $964 million indicates a 9.2% decline from the year-ago period. The consensus mark for the International business sales is pegged at $244 million, suggesting a decrease of 18.1% from the year-ago period.
Channel-wise, the consensus estimate for Direct sales is pegged at $283 million, which indicates a 9% decline from the year-ago period's reported figure. The consensus mark for the Wholesale sales is pegged at $928 million, suggesting a decrease of 11.5% from the year-ago period's reported number.
That said, TPX’s strength in online sales, combined with the acquisitions, bodes well. Furthermore, product superiority, brand strength, manufacturing efficiency and quality, an omni-channel distribution platform, as well as substantial cash flow, are expected to have impacted its performance.
