Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Financial Results and non-GAAP Reconciliation

The Company's results are reported in this press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release.

Overview of Capri Holdings Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Total revenue of $1.26 billion decreased 11.6% compared to last year. On a constant currency basis, total revenue decreased 11.4%. Total company retail sales declined low-double-digits while wholesale revenue decreased low-teens.
Gross profit was $812 million and gross margin was 64.4%, compared to $928 million and 65.0% in the prior year. Gross profit margin declined 60 basis points primarily due to lower full price sell-throughs.
Loss from operations was $590 million and operating margin was (46.8)%, compared to income from operations of $122 million and operating margin of 8.5% in the prior year. The loss was driven by a non-cash impairment charge of $675 million. Adjusted income from operations was $76 million and adjusted operating margin was 6.0%, compared to $172 million and 12.1% in the prior year. The decline in operating margin primarily reflects expense deleverage on lower revenue.
Net loss was $547 million, or $(4.61) per share, compared to net income of $105 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the prior year. The loss was driven by a non-cash impairment charge of $602 million, or $5.08 per share. Adjusted net income was $54 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $142 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Net inventory as of December 28, 2024 was $892 million, a 13% decrease compared to the prior year.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was an inflow of $309 million, while free cash flow was an inflow of $278 million.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $356 million, and total borrowings outstanding were $1.48 billion, resulting in net debt of $1.12 billion as of December 28, 2024 versus $1.60 billion last year.
Capri Holdings' leverage ratio as calculated under the terms of the Company's credit facility was 2.77x as of December 28, 2024.
As previously announced, on February 4, 2025, Capri Holdings entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit agreement which replaces the Company's existing $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and adds a new term loan of $700 million which was used to repay in full the Company's $450 million delayed draw term loan which would have otherwise become due in November 2025, and, together with borrowings under the revolver, to repay in full the €450 million Versace term loan which would have otherwise become due in December 2025. The maturity date under the Company's revolving credit facility and new term loan is July 2027.

Versace operating loss was $21 million and operating margin was (10.9)%, compared to operating loss of $14 million and operating margin of (6.2)% in the prior year. The decline in operating margin rate was primarily due to expense deleverage on lower revenue.

Retail sales were in-line with prior year while wholesale revenue decreased mid-teens. Revenue in the Americas declined 10%, while revenue in EMEA increased 9% and revenue in Asia decreased 17%.

Jimmy Choo operating loss was $6 million and operating margin was (3.8)%, compared to operating income of $4 million and operating margin of 2.4% in the prior year. The decline in operating margin rate was primarily due to expense deleverage on lower revenue.

Retail sales decreased low-teens while wholesale revenue declined high-single-digits. Revenue in the Americas decreased 10%, while revenue in EMEA declined 13% and revenue in Asia decreased 27%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Constant currency effects are non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitate comparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currency impacts by translating the current year's reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year's foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constant currency performance measures discussed below should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain costs associated with impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, ERP implementation costs, Capri transformation costs and costs related to the previously terminated merger agreement with Tapestry, Inc. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and in order to represent the manner in which the Company conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding these items helps its management and investors compare operating performance based on its ongoing operations. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures to be useful supplemental measures in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any amounts presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
