Business Wire
Volcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:VLCM) today provided preliminary results for
the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. The
company also provided an update to its financial outlook for the
full year of 2008. Based on preliminary estimates, for the fourth
quarter of 2007, Volcom currently anticipates reporting total
revenues in the range of $67 million to $68 million and expects
earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.29 to $0.30.
Previously, the company stated it expected total revenues to be
between $70 million and $73 million and earnings to be between
$0.30 and $0.32 per diluted share. The revised estimate primarily
reflects lower than expected revenues in the core domestic
distribution channels in the fourth quarter, and lower gross
margin, each generally attributable to the weaker than anticipated
retail environment. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Volcom reported
revenue of $56.6 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.31.
Given these preliminary fourth quarter estimates, Volcom now
expects full year 2007 revenues to grow approximately 30% to
between $266 million and $267 million, compared with $205.3 million
in 2006. Earnings per diluted share are expected to increase
between 15% and 16% from 2006 to be between $1.36 and $1.37, versus
$1.18 per diluted share as reported in 2006. Previously the company
estimated annual revenue to be between $270 million and $273
million, and earnings per diluted share of $1.37 to $1.39. In an
effort to provide some insight into the company�s financial outlook
for 2008, in November 2007 Volcom said it believed that overall
consolidated revenue and earnings growth of 20% was achievable. In
further reviewing its growth plans amid the current challenging
economic backdrop, the company is revising this outlook. For 2008,
Volcom now anticipates that total revenue growth of approximately
18% and that earnings growth of approximately 10% are achievable.
This preliminary 2008 outlook assumes pressure on domestic gross
margin as well as expenses related to the company�s growth
initiatives. This preliminary outlook does not include any
financial contribution from the acquisition of Electric Visual
Evolution, which also was announced today. Volcom expects that
Electric revenue will increase by approximately 20% and be earnings
neutral to Volcom in 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
Electric posted annual revenues of approximately $23.5 million.
Volcom intends to provide additional details regarding its
financial guidance for 2008 and the company�s various growth
drivers during its next earnings conference call in February.
Volcom senior management will discuss these preliminary results and
updated outlook during its presentation today, January 16, 2008, at
the 10th Annual ICR XChange Conference at 3:55 p.m. PST at the St.
Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California. The
