Financial Statement Analysis
Horizontal Analysis
After analyzing and interpreting the financial statements of Michael Kors, a comparative
horizontal analysis was conducted with the balance sheet and income statement using the current
year (2014) and comparing it with last year (2013).
The horizontal analysis shows that in 2014 the cash and cash equivalent increase by
$482,634 and showed a growth of 102%. In 2014, accounts receivables was $314,055 compared
to 2013 figures of $206,454 with an increase of $107,601 and a 52% growth. The increase in
accounts receivables is due to the increase in sales. In the past the company had assigned a
portion of its trade receivables to factors in the United States and Europe. In the agreement,
factors assumed the credit risk and in 2014 the company assumed responsibility for a large
portion of previously factored accounts receivable balances (2014 Annual Report, 2014).
Inventory increased to $426,938 compared to 2013 figures of $266,894 which shows an
increase of $160,044 and a 60% increase. In the operating activities there was a rise in cash
outflow in inventory, because the growth in sales required the company to increase their
inventory.
Property and equipment increased to $350,678 in 2014 compared to 2013 figures of
$242,113. The increase of $108,565 and 45% increase. The company is expanding current
locations and adding new stores, which explain the increase to purchase more furniture,
equipment, computers, to allow the stores to expand successfully.
The increase in accounts payables in 2014 was $131,953 compared to 2013 figures of
$82,977. The increase was $48,976 and an increase of 59%; since the company sales have
MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 7
grown, the company must manufacture more products to keep up with the demands and need to
purchase more inventory and equipment.
The growth in cash and cash equivalent correlates with the increase in total revenue. In
the current year the total revenue was $3,310,843, in the previous year total revenue was
$2,181,732, and there was an increase of $1,129,111 and a 52% growth. The increase was the
result of an increase in retail store sales, wholesale sales, and increase in licensing revenue.
Operating expenses have also increased from $676,552 in 2013 to $1,007,899 in 2014,
which shows an increase of $331,347 or 49% increase, this which can be expected since the
company has had an increase in expenses of rent, salaries, distribution, and an increase in
advertising expenses due to increase sales.
In the previous year the gross profit was $1,306,566 which is 62% of sales. Gross profit
has increased by $709,504 and a 54% growth in one year. The increase in profit margin on the
retail and wholesale sector resulted from a better product sales mix. The company also achieved
an advantage by ensuring a purchase cost to selling price relationship in 2014, which lead to a
reduction in cost on certain inventory items that resulted in an increase in gross profit.
The net income also shows a trend of growth. The net income grew from $397,602 in
2013, to $661,485 in 2014 with an increase of $263,883 or 66% growth. In the current year the

Statement of Cash Flows
Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
In 2014, cash provided by operating activities increased by $275,443 to $631,779, as compared
to $356,336 in 2013. Cash inflow increased due to the increase in net income which increased by
$263,883. Accounts receivables increased by $25,067 to $105,648, as compared to $80,648 in
2013 which indicates that less cash was collected. Sales increased in 2014, which caused the
accounts receivables balances to rise. The increase in cash outflow on inventory occurred due to
the increase on inventory requirements driven by increased sales in 2014. The increase in
accounts payable was due to the increase of inventory purchase. The increase in cash outflows on
inventory was related to the increase in sales in 2014 (2014 Annual Report, 2014).
Cash Usedin Investing Activities:
In 2014, cash used in investing activities increased by $76,421 to $215,520, compared to
$139,099 in 2013. The increase is a result of capital expenditures increase of $63,417 which was
used to renovate and building out new retail stores, upgrade distribution systems, and other
improvements were made to the infrastructure. Additionally, $28,822 of intangible assets that
consisted of trademarks, Lease rights and goodwill was also purchased in 2014 (2014 Annual
Report, 2014).
Cash Provided by Financing Activities:
In 2014, cash provided by financing activities decreased by $79,503 to $71,058, compared to
$150,561 in 2013. The decrease can be due to the repayments of a revolving credit facility in
2013 (2014 Annual Report, 2014).

Ratios
The 2014 current ratios of Industrial Averages’ Apparel and Accessories, Michael Kors,
and Coach Inc., one can notice the huge difference that Michael Kors placed higher in
comparison to both Coach, Inc. and Industrial Average. The Industrial Average held a 3.1 in
2013 and a 4.2 in 2014 and, while Coach, Inc. possessed a 2.87 in 2013 and a decrease to 2.28 in
2014. According to Aquino & Chabbott (2009), Coach, Inc. invested in Reed Krakoff, design
brand established by Reed Krakoff. He is also “the creative force behind Coach.” The article also
mentions that the majority of the Reed Krakoff’s Coach, Inc. funds the majority of this firm.
Knowing this information, Coach, Inc.’s current ratio is more understandable. With a 6.02 in
2013 and a 5.76 in 2014 as a current ratio, Michael Kors has over five times the amount of cash
to the current assets than they have current liabilities. Due to this transaction analysis, Michael
Kors is not using their funds as adequately as Coach, Inc. is. Between 2013 and 2014, Michael
Kors increased their cash and cash equivalents account from $472,511,000 to $955,145,000
(Michael Kors, 2014). Instead of keeping all of that money in their assets account, they can
invest in other companies.
Compared to both the Industrial Averages’ and Coach, Inc.’s, Michael Kors had a lower
total asset turnover ratio in 2013, with 1.19, and increased to become the highest of the three,
with 1.81. In 2013, Coach, Inc. had a total asset turnover ratio of 1.53, however by 2014, the
ratio decreased to 1.34. Simultaneously, the Industrial Average also decreased their total asset
turnover ratio from 1.8 in 2013 to 1.5 in 2014. As of 2013, Michael Kors’ 2014 Annual Report
states that they started contracts to handle the use of global currency. This affected both the cost
of sales and operating expenses, which are both a part of net sales.
MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 17
From the calculations completed using the numbers in the Michael Kors balance sheet,
there was no change between 2013 and 2014 in relation to debt-to-equity. With a .23, Michael
Kors had a lower ratio than the Industry Averages, and Coach, Inc. in both 2013 and 2014. The
Industry Average is .39 in 2013 and decreased to .25 in 2014. Additionally, Coach, Inc. had .47
ratio in 2013 and increased to .51. With Michael Kors’ low ratio as to the others, the creditors of
the company contribute 23 cents of assets for each dollar of assets contributed by the
shareholders, therefore they have a greater opportunity to expand the business.
From 2013 to 2014, the Michael Kors’ profit margin did not change dramatically.
Starting at .19 in 2013 and continuing in 2014 with a .21, both of these ratios surpassed the
Industrial Averages’, of .03 and .08, respectively, meaning that they are both above average in
the apparel and apparel accessories industry. With Coach, Inc. at .2 in 2013, Michael Kors’ profit
margin was a bit lower, however as the Michael Kors' company ratio increased in 2014, Coach,
Inc., decreased to .16. Michael Kors’ profit margin increased due to a decrease in income tax,
which caused an increase in net income. According to Michael Kors’ 2014 Annual Report, when
customers take action in operational chargebacks, this also has an effect on net sales and profit
margin.
The share performance graph illustrated on the 2014 Michael Kors Annual Report
demonstrates the huge difference between the company and “peer groups” and other markets
(2014 Annual Report, 2014). Michael Kors is the highest out of all the comparisons due to the
reestablishment of the total quantity of all dividends. Due to this explanation, Michael Kors had
a return on stockholders’ equity ratio of 278.69 in 2013. Since then, the same ratio continued to
increase with nearly twice the amount to 463.65. As for the industrial averages, their ratio was
much lower compared to Michael Kors’ with a .11 in 2013 presented and a .15 in 2014. In
MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 18
addition, with a 47 in 2013 and a decrease to 32.35 in 2014, Coach, Inc.’s ratio is between the
industrial averages’ and Michael Kors’.
Over the past few years, Michael Kors increased their earnings per share from 1.96 to
3.26 due to their increase in demand for accessories, like heels and handbags (Sharf, 2013). Their
price-earnings ratio was too high before at 40.1 in 2013 compared to Coach Inc.’s, 3.73.
However, due to Michael Kors’ earnings per share change, their price-earnings ratio decreased to
24.11. In 2014, Coach, Inc.’s still remained at a low number with a 3.1 as their price-earnings
ratio.

MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 21
Recommendation, Summary, and Conclusion
Michael Kors financial statements analysis indicates that the company’s competitive
strengths are that as a company they have consistently shown growth in the past two years. They
have built strong relationships with wholesalers which allowed the company to access more of
their current customers and new customers. They have also been successful in building brand
awareness globally; their sales have doubled in just one year. Brand awareness has also helped
the company in the licensing segment, revenue increased by 61% from 2013 to 2014.
The company had a high current ratio which indicates the company is capable of paying
their current liabilities. The high current ratio could also indicate that the company is investing
too much in current assets. They might not be working as efficient, because current assets
generate low returns on investments. If the company invested in current investments and Long-
term investments, the company could generate a higher return on their investments.
A weakness that the company may face is that Michael Kors sells high priced luxury
clothing and accessories. Therefore if customers’ demands change there could be a drop in sales.
If the customers’ demands drop or there is a downturn in the economy it could affect the
consumers spending habits, which would generate less cash for operating activities. The
company also has many competitors in the apparel industry that compete with Michael Kors. The
company will need to produce quality products at a comparable price as other competitors.
Investing in Michael Kors stock, would be the company shows consistent growth. The
only concerns is that Michael Kors in not investing in Long-Term investments which is not
generating as high of a return as it could be. The balance sheet indicates that the company’s
retained earnings have increase, but shareholders have not received dividends.

In 2014, accounts receivables was $314,055 compared to 2013 figures of $206,454 with an increase of $107,601 and a 52% growth. The increase in accounts receivables is due to the increase in sales. In the past the company had assigned a portion of its trade receivables to factors in the United States and Europe. In the agreement, factors assumed the credit risk and in 2014 the company assumed responsibility for a large portion of previously factored accounts receivable balances (2014 Annual Report, 2014). Inventory increased to $426,938 compared to 2013 figures of $266,894 which shows an increase of $160,044 and a 60% increase.

Operating expenses have also increased from $676,552 in 2013 to $1,007,899 in 2014, which shows an increase of $331,347 or 49% increase, this which can be expected since the company has had an increase in expenses of rent, salaries, distribution, and an increase in advertising expenses due to increase sales. In the previous year the gross profit was $1,306,566 which is 62% of sales. Gross profit has increased by $709,504 and a 54% growth in one year. The increase in profit margin on the retail and wholesale sector resulted from a better product sales mix.

  • 15. MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 15 Statement of Cash Flows Cash Provided by Operating Activities: In 2014, cash provided by operating activities increased by $275,443 to $631,779, as compared to $356,336 in 2013. Cash inflow increased due to the increase in net income which increased by $263,883. Accounts receivables increased by $25,067 to $105,648, as compared to $80,648 in 2013 which indicates that less cash was collected. Sales increased in 2014, which caused the accounts receivables balances to rise. The increase in cash outflow on inventory occurred due to the increase on inventory requirements driven by increased sales in 2014. The increase in accounts payable was due to the increase of inventory purchase. The increase in cash outflows on inventory was related to the increase in sales in 2014 (2014 Annual Report, 2014). Cash Usedin Investing Activities: In 2014, cash used in investing activities increased by $76,421 to $215,520, compared to $139,099 in 2013. The increase is a result of capital expenditures increase of $63,417 which was used to renovate and building out new retail stores, upgrade distribution systems, and other improvements were made to the infrastructure. Additionally, $28,822 of intangible assets that consisted of trademarks, Lease rights and goodwill was also purchased in 2014 (2014 Annual Report, 2014). Cash Provided by Financing Activities: In 2014, cash provided by financing activities decreased by $79,503 to $71,058, compared to $150,561 in 2013. The decrease can be due to the repayments of a revolving credit facility in 2013 (2014 Annual Report, 2014).
  • 16. MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 16 Ratios The 2014 current ratios of Industrial Averages’ Apparel and Accessories, Michael Kors, and Coach Inc., one can notice the huge difference that Michael Kors placed higher in comparison to both Coach, Inc. and Industrial Average. The Industrial Average held a 3.1 in 2013 and a 4.2 in 2014 and, while Coach, Inc. possessed a 2.87 in 2013 and a decrease to 2.28 in 2014. According to Aquino & Chabbott (2009), Coach, Inc. invested in Reed Krakoff, design brand established by Reed Krakoff. He is also “the creative force behind Coach.” The article also mentions that the majority of the Reed Krakoff’s Coach, Inc. funds the majority of this firm. Knowing this information, Coach, Inc.’s current ratio is more understandable. With a 6.02 in 2013 and a 5.76 in 2014 as a current ratio, Michael Kors has over five times the amount of cash to the current assets than they have current liabilities. Due to this transaction analysis, Michael Kors is not using their funds as adequately as Coach, Inc. is. Between 2013 and 2014, Michael Kors increased their cash and cash equivalents account from $472,511,000 to $955,145,000 (Michael Kors, 2014). Instead of keeping all of that money in their assets account, they can invest in other companies. Compared to both the Industrial Averages’ and Coach, Inc.’s, Michael Kors had a lower total asset turnover ratio in 2013, with 1.19, and increased to become the highest of the three, with 1.81. In 2013, Coach, Inc. had a total asset turnover ratio of 1.53, however by 2014, the ratio decreased to 1.34. Simultaneously, the Industrial Average also decreased their total asset turnover ratio from 1.8 in 2013 to 1.5 in 2014. As of 2013, Michael Kors’ 2014 Annual Report states that they started contracts to handle the use of global currency. This affected both the cost of sales and operating expenses, which are both a part of net sales.
  • 17. MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 17 From the calculations completed using the numbers in the Michael Kors balance sheet, there was no change between 2013 and 2014 in relation to debt-to-equity. With a .23, Michael Kors had a lower ratio than the Industry Averages, and Coach, Inc. in both 2013 and 2014. The Industry Average is .39 in 2013 and decreased to .25 in 2014. Additionally, Coach, Inc. had .47 ratio in 2013 and increased to .51. With Michael Kors’ low ratio as to the others, the creditors of the company contribute 23 cents of assets for each dollar of assets contributed by the shareholders, therefore they have a greater opportunity to expand the business. From 2013 to 2014, the Michael Kors’ profit margin did not change dramatically. Starting at .19 in 2013 and continuing in 2014 with a .21, both of these ratios surpassed the Industrial Averages’, of .03 and .08, respectively, meaning that they are both above average in the apparel and apparel accessories industry. With Coach, Inc. at .2 in 2013, Michael Kors’ profit margin was a bit lower, however as the Michael Kors' company ratio increased in 2014, Coach, Inc., decreased to .16. Michael Kors’ profit margin increased due to a decrease in income tax, which caused an increase in net income. According to Michael Kors’ 2014 Annual Report, when customers take action in operational chargebacks, this also has an effect on net sales and profit margin. The share performance graph illustrated on the 2014 Michael Kors Annual Report demonstrates the huge difference between the company and “peer groups” and other markets (2014 Annual Report, 2014). Michael Kors is the highest out of all the comparisons due to the reestablishment of the total quantity of all dividends. Due to this explanation, Michael Kors had a return on stockholders’ equity ratio of 278.69 in 2013. Since then, the same ratio continued to increase with nearly twice the amount to 463.65. As for the industrial averages, their ratio was much lower compared to Michael Kors’ with a .11 in 2013 presented and a .15 in 2014. In
  • 18. MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 18 addition, with a 47 in 2013 and a decrease to 32.35 in 2014, Coach, Inc.’s ratio is between the industrial averages’ and Michael Kors’. Over the past few years, Michael Kors increased their earnings per share from 1.96 to 3.26 due to their increase in demand for accessories, like heels and handbags (Sharf, 2013). Their price-earnings ratio was too high before at 40.1 in 2013 compared to Coach Inc.’s, 3.73. However, due to Michael Kors’ earnings per share change, their price-earnings ratio decreased to 24.11. In 2014, Coach, Inc.’s still remained at a low number with a 3.1 as their price-earnings ratio.

  • 21. MICHAEL KORS ANNUAL REPORT ANALYSIS 21 Recommendation, Summary, and Conclusion Michael Kors financial statements analysis indicates that the company’s competitive strengths are that as a company they have consistently shown growth in the past two years. They have built strong relationships with wholesalers which allowed the company to access more of their current customers and new customers. They have also been successful in building brand awareness globally; their sales have doubled in just one year. Brand awareness has also helped the company in the licensing segment, revenue increased by 61% from 2013 to 2014. The company had a high current ratio which indicates the company is capable of paying their current liabilities. The high current ratio could also indicate that the company is investing too much in current assets. They might not be working as efficient, because current assets generate low returns on investments. If the company invested in current investments and Long- term investments, the company could generate a higher return on their investments. A weakness that the company may face is that Michael Kors sells high priced luxury clothing and accessories. Therefore if customers’ demands change there could be a drop in sales. If the customers’ demands drop or there is a downturn in the economy it could affect the consumers spending habits, which would generate less cash for operating activities. The company also has many competitors in the apparel industry that compete with Michael Kors. The company will need to produce quality products at a comparable price as other competitors. Investing in Michael Kors stock, would be the company shows consistent growth. The only concerns is that Michael Kors in not investing in Long-Term investments which is not generating as high of a return as it could be. The balance sheet indicates that the company’s retained earnings have increase, but shareholders have not received dividends.
