Our jet-set luxury accessories and ready to wear are resonating with consumers worldwide and we are excited by our prospects for future growth.”

For the fourth quarter ended March 30, 2013:

  • Total revenue increased 57.1% to $597.2 million from $380.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
  • Retail net sales increased 58.8% to $272.7 million driven by a 36.7% increase in comparable store sales and 67 net new store openings since the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Wholesale net sales increased 59.4% to $304.7 million and licensing revenue increased 15.7% to $19.8 million.
  • Gross profit increased 62.6% to $356.2 million, and as a percentage of total revenue increased to 59.7% compared to 57.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
  • Income from operations was $155.3 million and as a percentage of total revenue was 26.0%. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, income from operations was $78.8 million and included a $2.0 million reimbursement of professional fees associated with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in December 2011. Excluding this credit, operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $76.8 million or 20.2% as a percentage of total revenue.
  • Net income was $101.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, based on 203.8 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $43.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, based on 196.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Excluding the aforementioned credit, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $41.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share.
  • At March 30, 2013, the Company operated 304 retail stores, including concessions, compared to 237 retail stores, including concessions, at the end of the same prior-year period. The Company had 96 additional retail stores, including concessions, operated through licensing partners. Including licensed locations, there were 400 Michael Kors stores worldwide at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Mr. Idol continued, “Our robust fourth quarter results were driven by continued strength across all of our business segments and geographies. North American comparable store sales increased 35%, reflecting the increasing demand for our luxury brand, our exciting product assortment and our exceptional jet-set in-store experience. Sales in our North America wholesale segment increased 57%, reflecting comparable store sales growth as well as the continued conversion to shop-in-shops in department stores. In Europe, sales nearly doubled during the quarter, with continued expansion of brand awareness leading to 63% comparable store sales growth. Finally, in our licensing segment, revenue increased 16%, driven primarily by the ongoing strength in watches and eyewear. Overall, we believe that the Michael Kors luxury brand is ideally positioned within the global luxury lifestyle market and we look forward to continuing to advance on our long-term objectives in fiscal 2014 and beyond.”

For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013:
