Capri Holdings Limited CPRI is likely to register year-over-year increases in its top and bottom lines when it releases third-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on Feb 2 before the market opens. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1,466 million, indicating growth of 12.6% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of this global fashion luxury group is anticipated to improve year over year. Although the Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share has been stable at $1.67 over the past 30 days, the figure suggests growth from $1.65 reported in the year-ago period.
A glance at this London-based company’s performance in the trailing four quarters shows that it has delivered a significant earnings surprise, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 61.1%.
Factors to Note
Consumers’ return to 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 also been gaining from selling merchandise at full prices and select price increases at Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors.
Capri Holdings’ e-commerce business continues to witness 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 double digits.
On its last earnings call, management guided third-quarter revenues to be roughly $1.46 billion and earnings to be $1.65 per share. Capri Holdings estimated revenues of approximately $235 million from Versace, $145 million from Jimmy Choo, and $1.08 billion from Michael Kors for the to-be-reported quarter. The company projected operating margin in the low-double-digit range for Versace, in the negative mid-single digit range for Jimmy Choo, and in the high 20% range for Michael Kors.
While aforementioned factors instill optimism regarding the outcome of the results, we cannot ignore the impact of ongoing supply chain headwinds and increased transportation costs due to the pandemic.
