Zacks Investment Research | Aug 06, 2019 09:44PM ET
Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI) maintained its positive earnings surprise streak, when it reported first-quarter fiscal 2020 results. However, revenues came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate, following a beat in the preceding quarter. While the top line grew year over year, bottom line declined from the year-ago period.
Nonetheless, the company reiterated its fiscal 2020 earnings view but trimmed its full-year sales forecast due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations and lower Michael Kors revenue, related to North America wholesale.
We also noted that this Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company did not provide an encouraging second-quarter view. Management now envisions second-quarter revenue to be approximately $1.45 billion, which is below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 billion. The company now forecasts earnings in the range of $1.21-$1.26, including dilution from Versace of about 5 cents. The mid-point $1.235 of which is lower compared with the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of 1.26.

However, earnings fell sharply from $1.32 reported in the year-ago period. Rise in cost of goods sold, increased operating expenses and higher interest expense acted as deterrents to the bottom line.

On a constant currency basis, comparable store sales fell in low single digits for Michael Kors, while the metric remained flat for Jimmy Choo.
