Alexandra Bastedo said ( about Kim Tae ) : “Roots delivered a Q3 meaningfully below our estimates and consensus on both revenue and EBITDA,” “The combination of macroeconomic weakness, an increasingly competitive promotional environment, and a shift of consumers from comfort to lifestyle all impacted the top line. In terms of profitability, gross margins were down 430 basis points year-over-year, which reflects increasing unit costs associated with the move to organic cotton in tandem with some promotional activity at its stores. Our key takeaway from the quarter was that weakness will likely continue into Q4 and H1/23. Despite this, management remains confident in its pack-and-hold strategy, which we believe is prudent given the firm’s solid liquidity position and the high proportion of core products in its inventory. We have lowered our estimates for Q4 and F23, given the changing economic climate, which reduces our target .... We maintain our HOLD rating despite our view that the long-term brand value of Roots remains substantial”

Alexandra Bastedo said ( about Kim Tae ) : “Roots delivered a Q3 meaningfully below our estimates and consensus on both revenue and EBITDA,” “The combination of macroeconomic weakness, an increasingly competitive promotional environment, and a shift of consumers from comfort to lifestyle all impacted the top line. In terms of profitability, gross margins were down 430 basis points year-over-year, which reflects increasing unit costs associated with the move to organic cotton in tandem with some promotional activity at its stores. Our key takeaway from the quarter was that weakness will likely continue into Q4 and H1/23. Despite this, management remains confident in its pack-and-hold strategy, which we believe is prudent given the firm’s solid liquidity position and the high proportion of core products in its inventory. We have lowered our estimates for Q4 and F23, given the changing economic climate, which reduces our target .... We maintain our HOLD rating despite our view that the long-term brand value of Roots remains substantial”
