Reports preliminary Q3 revenue approximately $500M, consensus $564.8M. “While we continue to make progress against the key pillars of our transformation initiatives, our business has faced significant challenges in our third quarter. The extremely wet and unseasonably cooler temperatures across our top geographies disrupted peak pool season,” said Jason McDonell, Leslie’s (LESL) chief executive officer. “The unfavorable weather trends impacted traffic as many customers delayed pool openings. In addition, through detailed consumer work over the past few months, we believe that we have identified additional opportunities that we look forward to discussing on our upcoming conference call.”
