$Levi Strauss & Co.(LEVI.US)$ said strong demand and price increases will offset the impact of headwinds stemming from the war in Ukraine and its economic impact as it gave in-line guidance for full-year sales and earnings.
The denim maker affirmed previously issued full-year fiscal 2022 guidance for adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.56 with revenue of between $6.4 billion and $6.5 billion. Analysts polled by Capital IQ expected normalized EPS of $1.54 and sales of $6.45 billion.
While we are maintaining our outlook, we expect it will now be comprised of even stronger growth in the Americas, primarily led by the US and continued strength in Asia. The growth will be "offset by reduced growth in Europe due to the unfavorable foreign exchange rate and the reduced revenue expectations in Russia.
-Chief Financial Officer Harmit Singh said on a conference call with analysts
Americas revenue jumped 26% in the fiscal first quarter, while Asia was up 11% and Europe rose 13%. Total revenue in the period ended Feb. 27 was $1.59 billion, up from $1.31 billion a year ago, driven by higher volumes and retail prices. The Capital IQ consensus was for $1.55 billion.
We took select pricing actions last year, as well as early this fiscal year and we believe there remains additional headroom to raise prices in parts of our portfolio through the balance of this year and beyond. Our ability to effectively take price has enabled us to mitigate cost pressures, including inflation in inputs and logistics.
-Chief Executive Charles Bergh said on the call
The full-year outlook includes the impact of supply chain disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation pressures, and the hit from the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the global economy. Together, these factors will probably undermine sales by about $200 million and earnings by roughly $0.15 a share, according to a Capital IQ transcript of the conference call.
Singh said the bottlenecks in the supply chain limited revenue potential by about $60 million, or 5% of sales, in the first quarter. The impact was seen primarily in the US, where the "consumer continues to be strong with demand outpacing supply."
Adjusted earnings per share climbed to $0.46 in the quarter from $0.34 a year earlier, outpacing the $0.42 consensus. A higher contribution of sales from the direct-to-consumer segment, increased product prices, and a higher share of full-price sales helped mitigate the impact of costs, including the growth in air freight expenses, Singh said.
Direct-to-consumer accounted for 39% of Levi Strauss' net revenue in the first quarter compared with 36% in the prior-year period, Singh said.

雖然我們維持著我們的前景,但我們預計,現在將包括美洲更強勁的增長,主要是由美國引領的,以及亞洲的持續強勁。由於不利的匯率和俄羅斯收入預期的降低,歐洲的增長將被減少的增長所抵消。

我們去年和本財年初都采取了精選的定價行動,我們相信,在今年及以後的剩餘時間里,我們投資組合中的部分產品仍有提高價格的額外餘地。我們有效定價的能力使我們能夠緩解成本壓力,包括投入和物流方面的通脹。

全年前景包括與新冠肺炎疫情相關的供應鏈中斷的影響、通脹壓力,以及俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭對全球經濟的打擊。根據Capital IQ的電話會議記錄,這些因素加在一起,可能會使銷售額減少約2億美元,每股收益減少約0.15美元。
