Preview: 2QFY24 Expected to Improve Sequentially

Steelcase reports 2QFY24 after market close on Tuesday, September 19, with its earnings conference call on Wednesday, September 20 at 8:30 am ET. We expect 2Q24 EPS of $0.20 (also consensus) on revenue of $827.8 million (consensus of $829 million). Our EPS estimate is a penny lower than last year on lower revenue. Following 1Q24 results, we shaved our 2Q24 revenue estimates by ~$20 million, but with evidence of better execution on gross margin, our earnings estimate ticked down by only $0.01. 1Q24 results beat on strong gross margin. Management averred that orders were moving higher from a low in late FY23. In the 2Q24 report and results, we will be looking for confirmation that the trough in the Commercial/Contract furniture space is in the rearview mirror. We are confident that Steelcase will continue to show improving execution on the margin line. Our estimate calls for a 3.5% GAAP operating margin versus 1% in 1Q and 3.2% a year ago.
