Factors to Note

Consumers’ return to an active social lifestyle has spurred demand for luxury apparel and accessories, and Capri Holdings is likely to have benefited from the same. The company has been deploying resources to expand offerings, upgrade distribution, create seamless omni-channel and digital capabilities, and deepen customer engagement. It has been gaining from selling merchandise at full prices and select price increases.

Capri Holdings’ e-commerce business continues to witness a sturdy performance, thanks to an increasing number of customers shopping online. The company has been investing in digital analytics and upgrading the e-commerce platform. E-commerce operations were strong in the last reported quarter, rising in double digits.

On its last earnings call, management guided fourth-quarter revenues to be roughly $1.4 billion and earnings to be 80 cents a share. Capri Holdings estimated revenues of approximately $310 million from Versace, $140 million from Jimmy Choo, and $950 million from Michael Kors for the to-be-reported quarter. The company projected operating margins of about 15% and 20% for Versace and Michael Kors, respectively, for the fourth quarter. It guided a negative operating margin of 10% for Jimmy Choo.

While the aforementioned factors instill optimism regarding the outcome of the results, we cannot ignore the impact of ongoing supply chain headwinds, product cost inflation, and increased transportation costs.
