By GlobalDataCapri’s gross profit for the quarter stood at $767m, a decrease from $867m in the same period of 2023.
The retailer’s gross margin also saw a reduction to 62.7% in Q4 FY24 from 64.9% in Q4 FY24.
The loss from operations for the quarter was substantial, at $543m compared to a $40m loss a year previously.
Capri chairman and chief executive officer John Idol said: “Overall, we were disappointed with our results as performance in the fourth quarter continued to be impacted by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods.
“In our retail channel, sales trends improved sequentially in the Americas and EMEA [Europe, the Middle East and Africa] while trends slowed in Asia. In our wholesale channel, sales remained challenged.”
