Factors to Note

Capri Holdings has long been gaining from the robust performance of all three luxury brands. The company has been on track to maximize the potential of the Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands through expanded products and categories. Notably, the Versace brand expanded its license deal with EuroItalia for an additional period of 15 years.

The company has also been emphasizing on boosting its accessories business, including leather goods and handbags. This, along with cost-containment efforts, increased focus on the e-commerce platform and accretive buyouts, bodes well.

Its e-commerce business has been witnessing a sturdy performance, driven by omni-channel capabilities and increased consumer engagement. The company has been investing significantly in digital analytics, expanding capabilities and upgrading the e-commerce platform.

On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, management anticipated fiscal second-quarter revenues of $300 million from Versace, $140 million from Jimmy Choo, and $960 million from Michael Kors, indicating year-over-year increases of 7%, 3% and 9%, respectively, on a reported basis.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues at Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands is pegged at $301 million, $142 million and $957 million, indicating increases of 6.7%, 3.6% and 8.6%, respectively.

However, Capri Holdings has been grappling with supply-chain bottlenecks and higher transportation costs, as well as the war in Ukraine. Lower revenues from China, owing to the pandemic-related restrictions, are likely to have been a drag.

On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, the company predicted revenues in Mainland China to be down 20% year-over-year for the fiscal second quarter.

Also, increased marketing and supply-chain costs have been weighing on margins. The company, in its last earnings report, expected an operating margin of 17% for the fiscal second quarter, suggesting a decline from 18.5% reported in the year-ago period.
