Coach Q3 2016 Earnings And Revenue Beats Expectations
Highlights Of The Quarter:
1) Turnaround of Coach’s North American Business
- Same-store sales at the retail stores were unchanged, after a number of quarters of negative comps, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of improvement.
- While store and mall traffic was soft, due to increased internet sales, more was spent per customer versus a year prior.
- Positive comps were seen in the renovated luxury concept retail outlets.
- Low single-digit growth in the North American premium women’s handbag and accessories market.
- Higher premium handbag purchases, as compared to six months ago.
- The above $400 price bracket rose in penetration, forms ~40% of handbag sales, up from ~30% last year.
- Handbag AUR (Average Unit Retail) has risen to over $300 in the quarter, for the first time since FY 2009.
2) Chinese Market And Chinese Tourists Driving International Sales
- Greater China third quarter sales increased 2%.
- This was driven by double-digit growth and positive comps on the Mainland, offset by weakened markets in Hong Kong and Macau due to a slowdown in inbound tourist traffic from the Mainland.
- Annual sales forecast of $600M, reflecting continued softness in Hong Kong and Macau.
- Decline in Chinese tourists to North America and Europe, notably France, affected performance there.
- Growth in Chinese tourist spending in Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia resulted in high growth.
- Japan sales grew by 7% on a constant currency basis, benefiting from increased Chinese tourist traffic and a positive response to the new modern luxury stores.
