Shares of the retailer, which initially rallied after reporting earnings and revenue for the second quarter that missed expectations, plunged intraday during the company's conference call, which began at 10:00 am ET.
Rupp and Wang reported that the company said sales would increase at a "high-single" digit rate in the second half of the year, down from a 30% gain in the first half.
The company's profit margin goals may also be delayed by a year due to the slower than expected ramp up of Kate Spade's "Saturday" brand.
In the second quarter, Kate Spade earned $0.05 per share, more than the flat quarter expected by analysts, on sales that totaled $265.99 million, more than the $237.83 million that was expected.
The company also said the wind-down of its Juicy Couture brand is "substantially complete," with the company now reporting that segment as discontinued operations.
