Michael Kors cuts revenue forecast
Leathergoods brand Michael Kors reported revenue of $987.9 million in the first quarter of the 2016/2017 financial year, a 0.2% increase on the same period last year. Net income dropped 16% to $174.4 million.

Despite sales exceeding predictions John Idol, chairman and CEO of Michael Kors, was cautious due to a 7.4% decrease in comparable-store sales. He added that a “decrease in tourism in certain major cities” was affecting in-store sales.

The brand predicted revenue would be flat for the year though to March 2017 and said that it expected Q2 revenue to come in at between $1.07 billion and $1.09 billion.

“The Michael Kors brand remains strong, and we have multiple long-term growth opportunities across our product categories and regions,” Mr Idol said.
