Ross Stores misses by $0.03, misses on revs, comps -7%; guides Q2 EPS below consensus; guides FY23 EPS below consensus

• Reports Q1 (Apr) earnings of $0.97 per share, $0.03 worse than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of $1.00; revenues fell 4.1% year/year to $4.33 bln vs the $4.54 bln S&P Capital IQ Consensus.
  • Comparable store sales declined -7%.
  • "We are disappointed with our lower-than-expected first quarter results. Following a stronger-than-planned start early in the period, sales underperformed over the balance of the quarter. We knew fiscal 2022 would be a difficult year to predict, especially the first half when we were facing last year's record levels of government stimulus and significant customer pent-up demand as COVID restrictions eased. The external environment has also proven extremely challenging as the Russia-Ukraine conflict has exacerbated inflationary pressures on the consumer not seen in 40 years."
  • Q1 operating margin of 10.8% was down from 14.2% in 2021, reflecting the deleveraging effect from the same store sales decline combined with ongoing headwinds from higher freight and wage costs that began rising in the second half of 2021.
• Co issues downside guidance for Q2 (Jul), sees EPS of $0.99-1.07 vs. $1.31 S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Co guides to Q2 same store comp decline of -6% to -4%.
• Co issues downside guidance for FY23, sees EPS of $4.34-4.58 vs. $5.00 S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Co reaffirms full year same store comp decline of -4% to -2%.

Ross Stores beats by $0.03, beats on revs; comps +5%; guides OctQ EPS in-line; guides JanQ EPS below consensus 

• Reports Q2 (Jul) earnings of $1.04 per share, $0.03 better than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of $1.01 and above prior guidance of $0.95-0.99; revenues rose 8.9% year/year to $3.74 bln vs the $3.66 bln S&P Capital IQ Consensus.
  • Same store comps were +5% vs prior guidance of +1-2%.
  • Though better than expected, co says operating margin of 13.8% was down from last year as higher merchandise margin and leverage on occupancy and buying costs were more than offset by a combination of unfavorable timing of packaway-related expenses, higher freight costs, and this year's wage investments.
• Co issues in-line guidance for Q3 (Oct), sees EPS of $0.84-0.88 vs. $0.88 S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Co reaffirms Q3 comps guidance of +1-2%.
