Earnings Poll: Polish retailer Modivo expected to post 10% drop in second-quarter core profit
EARNINGS POLL-Polish retailer Modivo expected to post 10% drop in second-quarter core profit GDANSK, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Polish footwear and fashion retailer Modivo MDVP.WA is expected to report a 10% year-on-year drop in second-quarter adjusted core profit, as weakness in its main online business is seen offsetting strong growth at its HalfPrice chain, a Reuters poll showed on Wednesday.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) are expected to come in at 408 million zlotys ($109.49 million) for the quarter ending July 31, according to the average forecast of analysts from four banks and brokerages, compared with 451 million zlotys a year earlier.
Analysts see revenue growing 8% to 3.09 billion zlotys, driven by a sales jump at the off-price HalfPrice segment. However, sales at the core Modivo.com online platform are expected to fall by 17%.
The following table summarises market forecasts for Modivo in the second quarter:
