Breaking it down by brand, Michael Kors – the group’s biggest label – reported revenue of 881 million dollars, up 11 percent on last year, while revenue at Versace jumped 45 percent to 282 million dollars, and revenue at Jimmy Choo was up 12 percent to 137 million dollars.

“We are pleased with our second-quarter results with revenue, gross margin, operating margin and earnings per share all exceeding our expectations,” said Capri CEO and chair John D.

Capri raised its full-year guidance on the stronger-than-expected results. It now expects revenue of approximately 5.4 billion dollars compared to its previous estimate of 5.3 billion dollars.

And it now expects diluted earnings per share of around 5.30 dollars compared to the 4.50 dollars previously anticipated.

“We remain confident in the strength of our luxury houses and are pleased to be raising revenue and earnings guidance for the year,” Idol said.

“Our new outlook reflects both stronger revenue performance as well as greater than anticipated gross margin expansion driven by the execution of our strategic initiatives.”
