SharkNinja got a boost from newly released products in the third quarter, beating a Wall Street estimate on earnings and revenues.
A Yahoo-Finance published analyst consensus estimate called for adjusted diluted earnings per share of 81 cents and revenue of $1 billion.
Third-quarter net sales increased 13.1% to $1.07 billion year over year, while adjusted net sales increased 14.6% to $1.06 billion, the company reported. Operating income was $94.5 million versus $109.1 million in the year-past period, while adjusted operating income was $190.1 million versus $131.9 million.
By category, according to SharkNinja, year over year:
- Cleaning Appliances net sales decreased 10.7% to $449.3 million, as adjusted net sales decreased 9% to $442.5 million, resulting from softness in the North American market for corded and cordless vacuums, partially offset by growth in the carpet extraction sub-category enabled by new product innovation.
- Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased 30.3% to $339.3 million as adjusted net sales increased 31% to $338.1 million, driven by growth in Europe, specifically in the United Kingdom, and a full quarter of sales for a new outdoor grill product that launched in the second half of 2022 continues to perform well across the U.S. and European markets.
- Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased 31.1%, to $211.5 million as adjusted net sales increased by 33.5% to $209.3 million, driven by strong sales of ice cream makers and compact blenders, in the last case fueled by the rollout of new portable blenders.
- Other net sales increased 223.2% to $70.5 million as adjusted net sales increased 209.3% to $67.5 million, primarily fueled by continued strength of haircare products within the beauty category.
