While year-on-year revenue and earnings growth are important indicators, a closer look at key performance metrics provides a more comprehensive understanding of the company's financial health and future prospects.
Here's how Transcat fared in the latest quarter, compared to analyst estimates and the previous year:
Revenue - Distribution Sales: £18.1 million, exceeding the average estimate of two analysts at £19.6 million. This represents a 10.3% increase compared to the same period last year.
Revenue - Service Revenue: £34.6 million, slightly lower than the average estimate of £34.8 million based on two analysts. However, this segment saw a remarkable year-over-year growth of 29.2%.
Gross Profit - Distribution: £6.1 million, in line with the average estimate of £6.1 million based on two analysts.
Gross Profit - Service: £11.7 million, slightly below the average estimate of £11.8 million based on two analysts.
These figures demonstrate Transcat's strong performance in the service revenue segment, which continues to drive growth for the company. While distribution sales slightly missed expectations, the overall revenue growth and impressive EPS performance signal a positive trajectory for the business.
Transcat's share price has reflected this positive sentiment, rising by 17% in the past month, outperforming the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -0.2% change. The stock currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating potential for performance in line with the broader market in the near term.
