• Second-quarter results exceeded expectations, with revenue of $809 million down 5.5% year over year but operating income up 55% and EPS improving to $0.42 from a $0.03 loss; gross margin expanded 230 basis points to 63.3% on stronger full-price sell-through and lower tariffs.
• Michael Kors showed improving momentum as new products such as the Hamilton Soft handbag, Jennings loafer, and Piper Flex ballet flat generated strong full-price demand; management expects sequential improvement in Q3 and a return to revenue growth in Q4.
• Jimmy Choo delivered a second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, with Q2 revenue rising 11.5% to $146 million, supported by strength in accessories and footwear; the company continues to expect the brand to return to profitability in fiscal 2027.
• The recovery remains exposed to execution risks, including Michael Kors inventory delays that reduced Q2 revenue by roughly $50 million, continued weakness in Asia, foreign-currency headwinds, and potentially higher tariffs in the second half.
