May 28, 2025 6:26 AM

Capri Holdings Limited ( CPRI ) shares are trading lower on Wednesday after reporting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $4.90 loss, missing the Street view of 14 cents loss.

Adjusted loss from operations totaled $33 million, compared to adjusted operating income of $78 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating margin declined to (3.2)% from 6.4% a year ago.

“While there is uncertainty around the impact of tariffs on the global economic environment, we remain focused on executing against our new strategic initiatives that are designed to return Capri Holdings ( CPRI ) to future growth,” said chief executive officer John D. Idol.

Michael Kors reported revenue of $694 million, reflecting a 15.6% decline on a reported basis and a 14.4% fall on a constant currency basis.

Jimmy Choo generated revenue of $133 million, down 2.9% on a reported basis and 1.5% on a constant currency basis.

“We are confident in our ability to grow Michael Kors to $4 billion in revenue and Jimmy Choo to $800 million over time while restoring operating margin to the double-digit range,” Idol added.

On April 10, Capri Holdings ( CPRI ) said it would sell Versace to Prada for $1.375 billion in cash. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2025. Starting in fiscal 2026, Versace will be reported as a discontinued operation.

“This transaction positions us to invest in our future growth, substantially reduce our debt levels and reinstate a share repurchase program in the future,” Idol said.

The company’s quarterly results include a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $545 million taken against the company’s deferred tax assets, of which $119 million was related to Versace.

The firm projects earnings per share of approximately $0.10 to $0.15 versus the $0.10 estimate.
