Mohawk Industries beats Q2 profit by cutting back on costs
July 25 (Reuters) -Home flooring manufacturer Mohawk Industries MHK.N reported second-quarter profit above Wall Street estimates on Thursday due to cost-cutting initiatives, sending its shares up 12%.
Mohawk Industries manufactures flooring products for remodeling and new constructions of residential and commercial spaces in the United States and internationally.
High interest rates and persistent inflation have lowered consumer spending in the U.S., squeezing demand for home remodeling and impacting home furnishing manufacturers such as Mohawk.
"Our adjusted earnings per share rose as a result of productivity initiatives and restructuring as well as lower energy and material costs," CEO Jeff Lorberbaum said in a statement.
The Georgia-based company reported an adjusted net income of $3 per share, for the quarter ended June 29, compared to $2.76per share a year earlier.
Analysts, on average, had expected a profit of $2.75per share, according to LSEG data.
Net sales for the quarter stood at $2.8billion, narrowly missing expectations of $2.83billion.
