Read MoreHide Full Article

Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) is likely to register year-over-year increase in its top line when it releases first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Aug 9, before the market opens. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1,290 million, indicating growth of 2.9% from the prior-year reported figure.

The bottom line of this global fashion luxury group is anticipated to decline year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share has declined by a penny over the past 30 days to $1.34. The figure suggests a decline of 5.6% from the year-ago period.

Capri Holdings has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 49.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this London-based company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 24.4%.

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. The company has been investing in digital analytics and upgrading the e-commerce platform. E-commerce operations were strong in the last reported quarter.

On its last earnings call, management guided first-quarter revenues to be roughly $1.3 billion. Capri Holdings estimated revenues of approximately $265 million from Versace, $155 million from Jimmy Choo, and $880 million from Michael Kors for the to-be-reported quarter, suggesting an increase of 11%, 9% and 1%, respectively.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues at Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands are pegged at $260 million, $155 million and $875 million, indicating an increase of 8.3%, 9.2% and 0.5%, respectively.

While the aforementioned factors instill optimism regarding the outcome of the results, we cannot ignore the impact of product cost inflation, supply chain bottlenecks and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Moreover, pandemic-related restrictions in China might have impacted the sales in the region. On its last earnings call, management guided approximately 40% decline in revenues from Mainland China in the first quarter.

Lower revenues from China, a high margin region; foreign exchange headwinds; and a substantial increase in supply chain costs are expected to have weighed on first-quarter margins. Capri Holdings had projected first-quarter operating margin to be approximately 16.5%, down from 20.8% reported in the year-ago period. The company projected operating margin in the low double-digit range for Versace, the mid-single-digit range for Jimmy Choo and low to mid 20% range for Michael Kors. Evidently, these might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s bottom line. As a result, management guided first-quarter earnings of approximately $1.35 per share, down from $1.42 reported in the prior-year quarter.
