Capri Holdings (CPRI) Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates, Fall Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) reported a negative earnings surprise in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, following a beat in the preceding. Revenues also came below the consensus mark for the second quarter in row. While the top line sustained year-over-year improvement, bottom line continued to struggle. Nonetheless, the company reiterated its fiscal 2020 revenues and earnings view.
Notably, the top line gained from the addition of Versace and higher revenues from Jimmy Choo. Also, Michael Kors registered positive comparable store sales. However, the bottom-line number was hurt by increased expenses and a tough environment in Hong Kong, and also came below management’s expectations. Again, adjusted operating margin also missed the company’s projection.
Let’s Delve Deep
This designer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded apparel and accessories delivered adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.16 per share that missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.25 as well as management’s projection of $1.21-$1.26. Again, earnings fell sharply from $1.27 reported in the year-ago period. Rise in cost of goods sold and increased operating expenses acted as deterrents to the bottom line.
Total revenues of $1,442 million surged 15.1% from the prior-year period but fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,446.8 million. On a constant currency basis, total revenues were up 16.1%.
Adjusted gross profit increased 14.9% to $879 million, however, adjusted gross margin contracted 10 basis points to 61%. Adjusted operating income declined 7.3% to $202 million, while adjusted operating margin shrunk 340 basis points to 14%. We note that adjusted operating margin came below the company’s forecast of 15%. The company now expects third-quarter fiscal 2020 operating margin to be about 17.5%.
