Canadian Tire profit misses on lower products shipment

May 9 (Reuters) - Diversified retailer Canadian Tire Corp Ltd CTCa.TO missed first-quarter profit estimates on Thursday, hurt by lower shipment of products to dealers at its namesake brand.

Revenue at its Canadian Tire's retail unit, its biggest, fell 2.7 percent to C$1.35 billion.

Product shipments fell due to the timing of spring promotional orders and a pullback by dealers of in-store winter inventory to meet consumer demand in the latter half of the quarter, the company said.

However, consolidated same-store sales rose 6.1 percent, helped by strong performance at its Mark's clothing unit and contributions from the acquisition of the Helly Hansen brand.

Net finance costs more than doubled to C$67 million during the quarter, offsetting lower selling and general expenses.

The Toronto-based company, which offers products ranging from automotive parts to sporting goods and also provides financial services, said net income fell 1.7 percent to C$97.4 million ($72.27 million).

On a per share basis, the company earned C$1.12 per share, but missed the average analyst estimate by 26 Canadian cents, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

The company's revenue rose 2.8 percent to C$2.89 billion in the quarter ended March 31.
