“Over the last two years, we radically transformed our company, with a sharpened focus on the consumer and commitment to brand building, delivering standout results,” Joanne Crevoiserat, CEO of Tapestry, said in a statement. “From this strong foundation, we have tremendous runway and are poised to drive continued growth across each of our iconic brands.”
Crevoiserat added that given the ever-changing environment, Tapestry is ready to “move at the speed of the consumer” with agility and intention. “We are confident in our ability to fuel sustainable top and bottom-line gains and generate significant cash flow, creating meaningful value for all our stakeholders in the years to come,” the CEO added.
Among the new goals includes new financial targets for the years ahead. The company now expects to achieve revenue of $8 billion by fiscal year 2025, reflecting a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% to 7%.
Of this growth, Coach is expected to see revenue growth at a mid-single-digit three-year CAGR to $5.7 billion, while maintaining an operating margin of 30%. At Kate Spade, revenue growth is expected at a high-single digit three-year CAGR to $1.9 billion, while expanding operating margin to mid-teens. The brand remains on track to achieve $2 billion in revenue and high-teens operating margin, the company said. And, at Stuart Weitzman revenue growth is expected at a low-double digit three-year CAGR to $450 million while expanding operating margin to high-single-digits.
Scott Roe, CFO and COO of Tapestry, added in a statement that the company has “powerful brands that participate in attractive and durable categories” with a business model that is both “proven and profitable.”
Roe also mentioned that Tapestry has a plan to return $3 billion to shareholders through fiscal year 2025, supported by its strong free cash flow. “Together, we believe this will drive significant total shareholder returns over our planning horizon,” Roe added.
These targets incorporate the company’s previously announced fiscal 2023 outlook, which was provided with its fourth quarter earnings results in mid-August.
Tapestry Inc. ended the fiscal year last month with record revenues fueled by gains across its portfolio, with each brand delivering double-digit sales increases.
