Michael Kors Holdings Limited Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results

First Quarter Total Revenue Increased 43.4%; Comparable Store Sales Increased 24.2%

First Quarter Reported Diluted EPS Increased 49.2% to $0.91

Hong Kong — August 4, 2014 — Michael Kors Holdings Limited (NYSE:KORS) (the “Company”), a global luxury lifestyle brand, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 28, 2014.

John D. Idol, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our Fiscal 2015 first quarter earnings results demonstrate the strong momentum in our brand across North America, Europe and Asia. Our success in establishing Michael Kors as a global luxury lifestyle brand is grounded in Michael’s vision for design and the aspirational jet-set luxury experience we offer our customers. Our unique position within the global luxury market combined with our compelling diversified product assortment provides tremendous growth opportunity across the North American and International markets. As we look ahead, we will continue to make strategic investments in our business that will support our long term growth objectives and drive value for our shareholders.”

For the first quarter ended June 28, 2014:

• Total revenue increased 43.4% to $919.2 million from $640.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

• Retail net sales increased 47.5% to $480.2 million driven by a 24.2% increase in comparable store sales and 115 net new store openings since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Wholesale net sales increased 40.0% to $406.8 million and licensing revenue increased 30.5% to $32.1 million.

• Gross profit increased 43.9% to $571.6 million, and as a percentage of total revenue increased to 62.2% compared to 62.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

• Income from operations was $276.8 million, or 30.1% as a percentage of total revenue, as compared to $197.6 million, or 30.8% as a percentage of total revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

• Net income was $187.7 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, based on 207.2 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $125.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, based on 204.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

• At June 28, 2014, the Company operated 443 retail stores, including concessions, compared to 328 retail stores, including concessions, at the end of the same prior-year period. The Company had 162 additional retail stores, including concessions, operated through licensing partners. Including licensed locations, there were 605 Michael Kors stores worldwide at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Mr. Idol continued, “We saw continued strength across our retail, wholesale, and licensing segments, as well as in both the North American and International markets during the first quarter. In North America, revenue increased 30%, with comparable store sales growth of 18.7%. In addition, the 30% growth in our North American wholesale segment reflects ongoing momentum in our brand as well as the continued benefit from our shop-in-shop conversions. In Europe, we were extremely pleased with our revenue growth of 128%, which was driven by a comparable store sales increase of 54.2%, as well as strength in our wholesale business. Lastly, revenue in Japan increased 89%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 48.8%. We remain extremely excited about our future growth potential as we continue to solidify Michael Kors’ position as a leading global luxury lifestyle brand.”

Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company expects total revenue to be in the range of $950 million to $960 million. This assumes a comparable store sales increase in the high teens. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.85 to $0.87 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. This assumes 208.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 32.5%.

For fiscal 2015, the Company now expects total revenue to be in the range of $4.25 billion to $4.35 billion. This assumes a comparable store sales increase in the high teens. Diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $4.00 to $4.05 for fiscal 2015. This assumes 208.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 32.5%.
