WD-40 Earnings Review: Q1 Summary

<p><strong>Reiterated Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance</strong></p>
<p>The Company reiterated the following fiscal year guidance on a pro forma basis, excluding the full fiscal year financial impact of the homecare and cleaning business portfolios the Company expects to divest in fiscal year 2025 and the impacts of a favorable non-cash income tax adjustment which the Company will discuss during its first fiscal quarter earnings call:</p>
<ul>
<li>Net sales growth is from the pro-forma 2024 results is projected to be between 6 and 11 percent with net sales between $600 million and $630 million after adjusting for estimated translation impacts of foreign currency.</li>
<li>Gross margin for the full year is expected to be between 54 and 55 percent.</li>
<li>Advertising and promotion investments are projected to be around 6 percent of net sales.</li>
<li>Operating income is projected to be between $95 million and $100 million. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 6 to 12 percent compared to 2024 pro forma results.</li>
<li>The provision for income tax is expected to be around 24 percent.</li>
<li>Diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $5.20 and $5.45 based on an estimated 13.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 9 to 14 percent compared to 2024 pro forma results.</li>
</ul>
<p>"Our first quarter results reflect strong execution and significant progress on our gross margin expansion initiatives," said Sara Hyzer, WD-40 Company's vice president, finance and chief financial officer. "We achieved gross margin of 54.8 percent, up 100 basis points from the prior year quarter, moving us significantly closer to our target of 55 percent. This improvement reflects favorable sales mix, and the benefit of various supply chain initiatives executed across the globe. As we look ahead, we remain confident in achieving our fiscal year 2025 guidance," concluded Hyzer.</p>
<p>This guidance is expressed in good faith and is based on management's current view of anticipated results on a pro forma basis. Unanticipated inflationary headwinds and other unforeseen events may further affect the Company's financial results. Net sales guidance is adjusted for estimated translation impact of foreign currency use weighted average fiscal year 2024 foreign currency exchange rates. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in the divestiture of its assets currently held for sale, its guidance would be positively impacted by approximately $23 million in net sales, approximately $6 million in operating income, and approximately $0.33 in diluted EPS for the full fiscal year.</p>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>
