Leslie’s reports Q2 EPS (14c), consensus (11c)

Reports Q2 revenue $212.84M, consensus $223.22M. Comparable sales decreased 13.5%. Mike Egeck, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the second quarter, the industry and Leslie’s experienced comparable sales headwinds related to the normalization of the seasonal purchasing cycle to pre-pandemic patterns, as well as adverse weather in key markets. Our non-comparable sales partially offset these headwinds enabling us to deliver a first half performance within the range of expectations in our full year guidance. Underscoring these results was the strong execution of our diversified growth initiatives by our teams which helped to drive continued market share gains and position us well to deliver against our objectives as we head into the all-important pool season."
