1.1. Introduction Michael Kors is a rapidly growing global luxury lifestyle brand led by a world-class management team and a renowned, award-winning designer. Since launching his namesake brand over 30 years ago, Michael Kors has featured distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a jet-set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Mr Kors’ vision has taken his company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and apparel company with a presence in over 95 countries.

1.2. Background Michael Kors was born on August 9, 1959, on Long Island, New York. He moved to New York City to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology, but dropped out after two semesters. In 1978, Kors went to work at the French boutique Lothar's, which allowed him to design and merchandise his first fashion collection. The well-received collection generated enough interest that Kors was able to start his own fashion line. Michael Kors Women's Collection launched in May 1981, and was sold in the high-end department stores Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. Kors's simple, elegantly tailored clothing and his charmingly persuasive sales techniques proved to be a winning combination. In 1990, however, Kors; company was forced to reorganize under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After getting back on his feet, Kors launched KORS Michael Kors, a lower-priced line. He also became the creative director of Celine, a French fashion house, in 1997. In the six years he held that position, he continued to expand his own brand, launching menswear, accessory and perfume lines. In 2003, he won the coveted Menswear Designer of the Year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the most prestigious prize in American fashion. Countless celebrities wear his garments, and U.S. first lady Michelle Obama posed in a Michael Kors dress for her first official portrait. With new lines constantly in production and more customers drawn in by his Project Runway appearances, Kors's fashion empire continues to grow.

1.3. Product Categories Just as any high end brand does, Michael Kors has a wide range of products to offer to it’s customers. The brand offers clothing, shoes, bags, accessories and fragrance/beauty products for women. Kors also design for men in these categories, although the selection is much more limited. The ready-to-wear women’s category includes dresses, tops, jeans and pants, shirts and shorts, outwear and swimwear.Perhaps the most popular product of the brand is their wide variety of luxurious bags.


The company is based on two different collections: The ‘Michael Kors’ collection is the luxury segment of the brand and the MICHAEL Michael Kors collection is a more accessible luxury collection. Both collections offer accessories, apparel and footwear. Michael Kors Collection: The items in this collection are made from the highest quality materials such as leather and other exotic skins.

MICHAEL Michael Kors collection: The MICHAEL Michael Kors collection focuses on handbags and accessories, but also includes footwear and womenswear. The accessories include small leather goods (such as clutches and wallets, wristlets and cosmetic cases) as well as women’s footwear and dresses, tops, pants, jeans, skirts, shorts and outerwear. The handbags retail from $200 to $800, the small leather goods are from $45 to $200, the footwear retails from $70 to $500 and the women’s clothing retails from $50 to $500.

2. Financial Analysis Financial analysis is the process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets and other financerelated entities to determine their suitability for investment. Typically, financial analysis is used to analyse whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid, or profitable enough to be invested in. When looking at a specific company, the financial analyst will often focus on the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. In addition, one key area of financial analysis involves extrapolating the company's past performance into an estimate of the company's future performance. One of the most common ways of analysing financial data is to calculate ratios from the data to compare against those of other companies or against the company's own historical


performance. For example, return on assets is a common ratio used to determine how efficient a company is at using its assets and as a measure of profitability. This ratio could be calculated for several similar companies and compared as part of a larger analysis. 2.1 Income Statement An income statement is a financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Financial performance is assessed by giving a summary of how the business incurs its revenues and expenses through both operating and non-operating activities. It also shows the net profit or loss incurred over a specific accounting period, typically over a fiscal quarter or year. Also known as the "profit and loss statement" or "statement of revenue and expense." 2.2 Balance Sheet A balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by shareholders. The balance sheet adheres to the following formula: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity 2.3 Cash Flow A cash flow statement is one of the quarterly financial reports any publicly traded company is required to disclose to the SEC and the public. The document provides aggregate data regarding all cash inflows a company receives from both its on-going operations and external investment sources, as well as all cash outflows that pay for business activities and investments during a given quarter. Accordingly, we will be analysing the financial ratios of Michael Kors from the year 2012 to 2015 and the tool used is Ratio Analysis.

3.8 Price Analysis


3.9 Conclusion After thoroughly analysing the brand, Michael Kors is evidently a successful and well distributed one. With having no debts for the past four years, the brand is rapidly growing and is continuing to rise in sales and profits every day. Michael Kors applied one of the most valuable lessons in life, usually taught in business manuals and motivational books. It saw an opportunity in something that others called a threat. When the crisis hit and everyone started to mind their spending, Kors was ready to make it all work out for the best. Its offer was and is hard to be overlooked, even in times of financial moderation. Average prices at MK range from $40 to $10.000, so it’s not necessary to break the bank in order to fulfill your appetite for luxury items. In recent years, Michael Kors developed quickly and it took many by surprise The popular brand has a story that is almost synonymous with the American dream. Michael Kors is now in the top three fashion brands on Facebook, next to Louis Vuitton and Burberry. Rightfully so, given the fact that it is now a multi-billion dollar business. Making great quality, trendy products affordable, staying in tune with the modern world, being visible, engaging with customers and rewarding them are the key ingredients that have helped Michael Kors reach global success.
