Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Jimmy Choo revenues rose 10.5% as growth spanned regions, channels and categories.
Marketing campaigns and events boosted engagement, VIC sales and the global consumer database.
Accessories and casual footwear added growth avenues, while operating margin expanded 480 basis points.
Jimmy Choo continues to gain momentum for Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) , with the luxury brand delivering strong performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Revenues increased 10.5% year over year to $179 million. Constant-currency revenues increased 9.3%, reflecting solid underlying demand.
Growth was broad-based across regions, channels and categories. Americas revenues climbed 26.1% to $58 million from $46 million, while EMEA revenues increased 5.1% to $82 million from $78 million. Asia revenues rose 2.6% to $39 million from $38 million. Direct retail sales increased low double digits sequentially across all regions, while wholesale revenues grew low double digits. North American department stores posted double-digit point-of-sale growth.
Marketing initiatives are strengthening brand desirability and consumer engagement. The Natural Reflection campaign showcased new hero products, while regional ambassadors and influencers expanded Jimmy Choo’s global reach. A global influencer trip generated nearly 50 million impressions, while curated events for top clients drove a 40% increase in very important client ("VIC") sales. These efforts contributed to a 7% increase in the global consumer database.
Product innovation is providing additional growth avenues. Accessories sales increased double digits, led by the Bon Bon and Cinch franchises, while newer groups such as Bar and Curve broadened the brand’s reach. Footwear also performed well across dress and casual categories. Management views casual footwear as a long-term growth opportunity to increase purchase frequency among existing consumers and attract new customers.
Stronger sales are translating into improved profitability. Jimmy Choo’s operating income increased to $13 million from $4 million, while operating margin expanded 480 basis points to 7.3%, primarily due to expense leverage on higher revenues. Capri expects Jimmy Choo revenues of approximately $635 million and a low-single-digit operating margin in fiscal 2027. Longer term, management targets $800 million in revenues and operating margins in the low-double-digit range, underscoring its confidence in the brand’s growth potential.
