Capri Holdings, the luxury fashion group behind Michael Kors, Versace, and Jimmy Choo, recently announced its second-quarter results. Despite facing some challenges, the group continues to thrive on the popularity of sneakers, logos, and accessories in the market.
During the conference call, Group chairman and CEO John D. Idol provided valuable insights into the performance of each brand. Michael Kors saw a return to comparable sales growth driven by its Signature products. Versace, on the other hand, faced challenges due to the Hong Kong protests and negative publicity in China but showed promise with e-commerce expansion and growth in accessories and footwear. Jimmy Choo experienced success in active footwear and accessories, indicating a positive trajectory for the brand.
Although Capri Holdings reported a 7.8% decrease in adjusted net income, the total revenue for the quarter increased by 15.1% to $1.44 billion. Versace exceeded revenue expectations, with significant growth in the Americas and EMEA regions offsetting declines in Asia. The digital presence of Versace received a boost through strategic marketing efforts.
Jimmy Choo also showed promising revenue growth, with a focus on active footwear and expanding accessories. Despite facing challenges in certain markets, the brand remains optimistic about its growth potential. Meanwhile, Michael Kors witnessed a slight decline in revenue but maintained positive comps, especially in the accessories category.
Looking ahead, Capri Holdings remains positive about the future, with all three brands showing growth potential in different categories. The group’s resilience and focus on innovation and marketing strategies position them well for continued success in the luxury fashion market.
