Read MoreHide Full Article
Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) came up with fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein both the top and bottom lines missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined on a year-over-year basis. Softness in demand for luxury fashion items hurt the company’s performance. While Capri Holdings continued to face challenges in the wholesale channel, the retail channel performed better.
Impressively, Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands continued to resonate well with consumers. Better customer engagement resulted in the addition of 11.6 million new consumers joining the database, marking 14% growth compared to the last year.
Q4 Details
This designer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded apparel and accessories posted adjusted quarterly earnings of 42 cents per share, showcasing a decline from 97 cents in the year-ago period. Also, the metric fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents.
Total revenues of $1,223 million slightly fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,295 million and decreased 8.4% year over year. On a constant-currency basis, total revenues declined 7.9%. The retail sales experienced a mid-single-digit decline owing to soft demand for luxury fashion items. In the wholesale sector, revenues fall by a high-teen percentage primarily due to muted demand in the Americas and EMEA regions.
Adjusted gross profit decreased approximately 11.1% year over year to $767 million. The adjusted gross margin contracted 190 basis points (bps) to 62.7% due to lower full-price sell-throughs.
Adjusted operating expenses declined 7.1% year over year to $689 million. The metric, as a percentage of total revenues, rose by 76 bps to 56.3%.
The company reported adjusted operating income of $78 million, down from $121 million in the prior-year quarter. The adjusted operating margin shrunk 270 bps to 6.4%. This decline can be attributed to factors including soft gross margin and expense deleverage resulting from lower revenues.
