Geekwire obtained an internal email from Expedia announcing the layoffs, which add up to about 12% of its workforce. "We have been pursuing growth in an unhealthy and undisciplined way," the Expedia email said, according to Geekwire. "Today, we are announcing our intent to reduce and eliminate certain projects, activities, teams, and roles to streamline and focus our organization." In its quarterly earnings report earlier this month, Expedia said it expects between $300 million and $500 million in run-rate cost savings across its business this year, though it did not mention layoffs. Expedia shares were hammered Monday, falling 6.5%, but the job cuts do not appear related to coronavirus worries, although last week the online travel site said it expects a $30 million to $40 million impact on adjusted first-quarter EBITDA as a result of the outbreak. EXPE -2.02% Home Depot tops fourth-quarter earnings view and hikes dividend by 10% The Home Depot said fiscal fourth-quarter ending Feb. 2 net income rose 5.8% to $2.48 billion, or $2.28 a share, while sales fell 2.7% to $25.78 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet had forecast earnings of $2.11 a share on sales of $25.76 billion. The world’s largest home-improvement retailer said the extra week of operations in fiscal 2018 added $1.7 billion in sales, as comparable sales rose 5.2%. For fiscal 2020, Home Depot forecasts EPS of $10.45, sales growth between 3.5% and 4%, and comparable sales growth between 3.5% and 4%. Analysts had forecasted 2020 EPS of $10.51. Home Depot hiked its dividend by 10% to $1.50 a share. Tupperware plunges toward record low after profit warning, accounting probe and need for covenant relief Shares of Tupperware Brands Corp. plunged 21% toward a record low in premarket trading Tuesday, after the household and personal care products company warned of a 2019 profit shortfall, said it was conducting an investigation in its financial accounting and that it expected to need "relief" from a leverage ratio covenant. The company said late Monday that it expects 2019 net earnings per share in the range of breakeven to 34 cents, down from $3.11 a year ago, and adjusted EPS of $1.35 to $1.70, which is below the FactSet consensus of $2.79. The company said results were affected by "financial reporting issues" in Fuller Mexico, of which the company has launched an investigation into the accounting for accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The company estimates that the total pre-tax impact for 2019 to be about $50 million to $52 million. Separately, the company said it is forecasting the need for relief from the covenant in its $650 million credit agreement, to avoid potential acceleration of the debt, which would have "a material adverse impact on the company." The company said it has received approvals, pending final documentation, from participating banks. The stock has plunged 35.2% over the past three months through Monday, while the S&P 500 has gained 2.9%.
