Tapestry has reported its third quarter results for 2023, achieving net sales of US$1.51 billion, up by 5% year-on-year, reports ILM.

Revenue was reportedly up by 9% year-on-year when excluding a 370 basis point headwind from currency due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.

The company’s gross profit for the period was US$1.1 billion, while its gross margin was 72.8%, against a gross profit of US$1.01 billion and margin of 69.9% in the same period of 2022.

Net income for the third quarter totalled US$187 million, compared with a result of US$123 million in first quarter of last year.

Looking forward, the company is expecting revenue for the full 2023 fiscal year approaching US$6.7 billion.
