Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $229.5 million, indicating a 23% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
The increase in revenues is likely to have been caused by a rise in fee revenues that represents most of the total revenues. Growth in fee revenues less production costs are likely to have been driven by the company’s robust fee-generating business.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 16 cents per share, indicating an increase of more than 100% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. We expect growth in the bottom line to have been driven by disciplined cost management that improves operating efficiency.
