Our results of operations for our international subsidiaries are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of the applicable subsidiaries are translated from the local currency into United States dollar during financial statement consolidation. If the United States dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could impact our consolidated results of operations. In addition, we have had in the past, and may again in the future have, intercompany notes amongst certain of our non-United States subsidiaries, which may be denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular reporting entity. As a result of using a currency other than the functional currency of the related subsidiary, results of these operations may be adversely affected during times of significant fluctuation between the functional currency of that subsidiary and the denomination currency of the note. We continuously monitor our foreign currency exposure and hedge a portion of our foreign subsidiaries’ foreign currency-denominated inventory purchases to minimize the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.see in full comparisonHowever,As of March 28, 2026, we have $3.5 billion of hedges outstanding to hedge our net investment in Swiss Franc denominated subsidiaries with contract maturity dates between March 2027 and May 2045, and $2.364 billion of fixed-to-fixed cross-currency hedges outstanding related to our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries with contract maturity dates between December 2027 and July 2031. We cannot fully anticipate all of our foreign currency exposures and cannot ensure that these hedges will fully offset the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and no hedging strategy can completely insulate us from foreign currency exchange risk. Certain of these net investment hedge contracts are supported by credit support annexes which provide for collateral exchange if the fair value of a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold, with the earliest effective date being June 2030. Adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates could result in significant collateral posting requirements in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity, reduce cash available for operations and capital allocation, or require us to obtain additional financing on unfavorable terms. In addition, market disruptions, regulatory or accounting changes, counterparty defaults, or early termination events could increase the cost of maintaining or replacing these hedges or limit their effectiveness, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We also use forward foreign exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between different currencies. We are exposed to risks related to foreign currency exchange rate movements on our net investments in foreign operations due to the volatility in the exchange rates between different functional currencies.ARefer10%toappreciationItemor7A.devaluation-of“QuantitativetheandUnitedQualitativeStatesDisclosuresdollaraboutcomparedMarket Risk” for additional information related to thelevelimpact of foreign currency exchangeratesrateforchangescurrenciesandunderourcontractforeignascurrencyofhedgingMarch 29, 2025, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $365 million in the fair value of these contracts.instruments.

The accessories, footwear and apparel industries are heavily influenced by general macroeconomic cycles that affect consumer spending and a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could havematerially aadversely materialaffect adversedemand effect onfor our business,products, resultspricing of operationsdynamics and financialour condition.ability to manage inventory levels and margins.
Global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide, particularly for luxury goods, have adversely affected our business and may continue to do so. Inflation, higher fuel and energy costs, rising commodity prices for leather, textiles and other raw materials used in our products, tariffs imposed on imported goods, disruptions to global shipping routes, including the Red Sea corridor, resulting from the conflicts in the Middle East, and reduced consumer confidence have increased our cost of goods sold and may reduce demand for our products. Because our products are produced outside of the United States, these conditions affect both our supply chain costs and our ability to maintain gross margins. Prolonged or worsening macroeconomic conditions could disproportionately affect demand for our products, particularly where consumers are price sensitive. In addition, when disposable income is lower we may experience lower store traffic or have to increase our promotional activity.
Other factors that could depress consumer spending and negatively impact our business include extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, pandemics or other public health crisis (including prior events such as COVID-19), high levels of unemployment, fluctuating foreign currency rates and increased taxation. Reduced consumer confidence and adversely impacted consumer spending patterns in any of the regions in which we operate could materially adversely affect demand for our products, pricing dynamics and our ability to manage inventory levels and margins.
Global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide have impacted, and are likely to continue to impact, our business and the accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall. Inflation, rising interest rates, higher fuel and energy costs and commodity prices, reductions in net worth based on market declines and uncertainty, home prices, credit availability and consumer debt levels, political instability due to war or other geopolitical factors and other macroeconomic pressures and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment have created a challenging retail environment. Purchases of discretionary luxury items, such as the accessories, footwear and apparel that we sell, tend to decline when disposable income is lower or when there are recessions, inflationary pressures or other economic uncertainty. Other factors that could depress consumer spending include extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, pandemics (like COVID-19), high levels of unemployment, fluctuating foreign currency rates and increased taxation. Reduced consumer confidence and adversely impacted consumer spending patterns in any of the regions in which we operate could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
•establishing and maintaining acceptable relationships with retailour customers;
Competition, along with other factors such as consolidation, changes in consumer spending patterns and a highly promotional retail selling environment, could also result in significant pricing pressure. These factors may cause us to reduce our sales prices to our wholesale customers and retail consumers, which could cause our gross margins to decline if we are unable to appropriately manage inventory levels and/or otherwise offset price reductions with comparable reductions in our operating costs. If our sales prices decline and we fail to sufficiently reduce our product costs or operating expenses, our profitability may decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We operate on a global basis, with approximately 49%47% of our total revenue from operations outside of the United States during Fiscal 2025.2026. AsOur ainternational result,operations weexpose are subjectus to the risks ofrelated doing business internationally, includingto:
•geopolitical events or other political or civil unrest, including protests and other civil disruption;
•unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, including prior events such as COVID-19 and any variants thereof;
•economic instability and unsettled regional and global conflicts (such as the current war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict), which may negatively affect consumer spending by foreign tourists and local consumers in the various regions where we operate;
•laws,regulatory regulationsdevelopments and policies of the United States or foreign governments (including sanctions and retaliatory actions by the United States, European Union and others);
•natural disasters or other extreme weather events, including those attributed to climate change; and
•acts of terrorism, military actions or other conditions over which we have no control.control; and
•foreign consumer behavior and demand dynamics, including changing economic and consumer conditions and shifts in domestic spending priorities, which could adversely affect demand for discretionary products in certain markets.
In addition, we pursue selective international expansion in a number of countries around the world and through a number of channels. If our international expansion plans are unsuccessful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There are also some countries where we do not yet have significant operating experience, and in most of these countriescountries, we face established competitors with significantly more operating experience in those locations.
Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products, and the imposition or threat of imposition of new or additional duties, tariffs or trade restrictions or supply chain diligence requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
There are risks inherent to importing our products. Virtually all of our imported products are subject to duties which may impact the cost of such products. In Apriladdition, 2025, the U.S. Government announced tariffs on imports from select countries. The majorityall of the Company'sour products sold in the U.S. are imported from foreign countries in which these tariffs were announced, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, where the primary manufacturers of Michael Kors products are located.located, Inand addition,are retaliatorytherefore tariffssubject to changes in U.S. and international trade policies. Trade actions, including tariffs, safeguard measures, quotas, or other import restrictions, may be implementedimposed, bymodified, countrieschallenged, or replaced from time to time under various legal authorities, and the scope, duration, and applicability of such measures can be unpredictable. Refunds or relief from tariffs or duties, where available, are subject to administrative review, timing delays, and changes in interpretation or enforcement, and there can be no assurance that such amounts will be recovered, or recovered in a timely manner, which could adversely affect operating income and cash flows. Countries where our manufacturersproducts are locatedmanufactured and/or countriessold may implement retaliatory measures or impose additional restrictions in response to whichchanges in U.S. trade policy. While we ship our products may impose safeguard quotasseek to limitmitigate the quantityimpact of productstrade thatmeasures maythrough besourcing imported. Where we can, we rely onstrategies, free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives inwhere orderavailable, to maximize efficiencies relating to product importation. Increasedincreased tariffs or other trade restrictions against countries where our products are manufactured, and/or anyuncertainty tariffsregarding ortheir other trade restrictions implemented by these countries in retaliation,application, could limit our ability to manufacture products in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed and we may not be able to find alternative sourcing options in a timely manner or at all. InSuch addition,measures suchmay tariffsalso or other trade restrictions could require us to incur significant costs or causeforce us to increase theprices, priceabsorb chargedhigher tocosts, consumersor foradjust oursourcing products,arrangements, eitherany of which could materially impactadversely affect our revenuerevenue, and profitability. Our ability to navigate any uncertainty, changes or expansion in tariffs or other trade restrictions could have a material negative impact on our business,profitability, results of operations andor financial condition.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's February 2026 decision which held that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were unlawful, we are entitled to a refund of approximately $65 million in IEEPA tariffs previously paid to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As of March 28, 2026, we intended to recover all the IEEPA Tariffs previously paid and has recorded an IEEPA Tariff refund receivable of $65 million. We have refund claims with CBP and expect to recover the full amount, though actual timing and amounts are subject to completion of CBP's refund process and involve inherent risks, including delays in government processing, administrative offsets, appeals of court orders directing refunds, or changes in law or policy affecting the refund process. In addition, in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, and these actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and administration of trade measures, including the timing and recoverability of tariff refunds or relief where applicable, has in the past contributed to, and may in the future continue to contribute to, variability in costs and cash flows.
We are also subject to risks related to compliance with existing and evolving laws, regulations and enforcement actions related to forced labor, human rights, and supply chain transparency. Compliance with such requirements often requires extensive due diligence, documentation and traceability across multiple tiers of our supply chain, including suppliers over whom we have limited visibility or control. CBP has intensified enforcement of import laws including with respect to withhold release orders and seizures or detainments of shipments where it believes that goods may have been produced, wholly or in part, with forced labor or other prohibited labor practices. The failure by us or our suppliers to meet applicable requirements could result in shipment delays, detentions, exclusions or seizures, supply chain disruptions, increased costs, loss of inventory, potential penalties or reputational harm, any of which could materially affect product availability, revenue or margins or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We are also subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including related to CBP withhold release orders and detainments. If CBP detains shipments of our goods pursuant to a withhold release order they may not release our goods immediately or at all which could materially impact our U.S. business or result in potential violations of customs and trade laws.

E-commerce represents approximately 21% of our net revenues and has been our fastest growing business over the last several years. The success of our e-commerce business depends, in part, on third-parties and factors over which we have limited control, including changing consumer preferences and buying trends relating to e-commerce usage, both domestically and abroad, and promotional or other advertising initiatives employed by our wholesale customers or other third-parties on their e-commerce sites. Any failure on our part, or on the part of our third-party digital partners, to provide attractive, reliable, secure, efficient and user-friendly e-commerce platforms could negatively impact our consumers’ shopping experience, resulting in reduced website traffic, reduced conversion, diminished loyalty to our brands and lost sales. In addition, if there is a change in consumer behavior such that customers shift to utilizing e-commerce more than, or even instead of, traditional brick-and-mortar stores, and we or our wholesale partners are unable to attract consumers who previously made in-store purchases to our digital commerce channels, our financial and operating results may be negatively affected.
In addition, we must keep current with competitive technology trends, including the use of new or improved technology and services, creative user interfaces and other e-commerce marketing tools such as paid search and mobile applications, among others. Since e-commerce growth is critical to our overall growth strategy, we plan to accelerate our e-commerce and omni-channel development and we have completed a re-platforming of our brands’ e-commerce sites to expand our global capabilities. Implementing new or improved digital systems, services or technologies, such as new or improved e-commerce platforms, may increase our costs, cause delays in or hinder our ability to continually deliver a reliable or seamless digital experience for our customers, or cause us not to succeed in increasing sales or attracting consumers. Our failure to successfully respond to these risks and uncertainties might adversely affect the sales in our e-commerce business, as well as damage our reputation and brands.

Reduced travel resulting from economic conditions (including a recession or inflationary pressures), fuel shortages, increased fuel prices,prices (related to the conflicts in the Middle East), travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, disease pandemics (including prior events such as COVID-19), epidemics and other health-related concerns, war, terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of war or terrorist attacks, or unsettled regional and global conflicts (such as the current war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East) could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly if such events impact our customers’ desire to travel to our retail stores.
Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition and a highly promotional environment, fragmentation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products,products and changes in consumer spending patterns. If we misjudge the market for our products or demand for our products is impacted by external factors, we may be faced with significant excess inventories of some products and missed opportunities for other products. In addition, inaccurate demand forecasting or delayed reaction to trend changes may extend inventory holding periods and negatively affect cash flows and gross margins. We have in the past been, and may in the future be, forced to rely on markdowns, promotional sales, donations or other write-offs to dispose of excess, slow-moving inventory, which may negatively impact our gross margin, overall profitability and efficacy of our brands. In addition, increases in our costs, such as raw materials, labor or freight, could negatively impact our gross margin, and we may not be able to offset such cost increases through pricing measures or other means.

It is also possible that our conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other intangible assets could change in future periods if, for example, (i) our businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in future years vary from current assumptions, (iii) business conditions or strategies change from our current assumptions, (iv) discount rates change, (v) market multiples change or (vi) the identification of our reporting units change, among other factors. Such changes could result in future impairment charges of goodwill or other intangible assets and such amounts could be significant, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
We do not own any of our retail store facilities, but instead lease all of our stores under operating leases. Our leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual base rent and some require the payment of additional percentage rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Certain of our European stores also require initial investments in the form of key money to secure prime locations, which may be paid to landlords or existing lessees. Generally, our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay all of the costs of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases or withhold payments at our option, and payments under these operating leases account for a significant portion of our operating costs. For example, as of March 29,28, 2025,2026, we were party to operating leases associated with our retail stores that we operate directly throughout the globe, as well as other global corporate facilities, requiring future minimum lease payments aggregating to $1.4$949 billionmillion through Fiscal 20302031 and approximately $501$318 million thereafter through Fiscal 2044. Our substantial operating lease obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Lastly, increased scrutiny by federal regulators (such as the FTC) and state attorney generals focused on the retail industry may lead to increased privacy and cybersecurity costs such as organizational changes, deploying additional personnel, acquiring and implementing enhanced privacy and security technologies on e-commerce sites, mandatory employee training for those handling customer and employee personal data,data and engaging third-party experts and consultants, and the unauthorized use of proprietary information may lead to lost revenues.
The increasing use of AI by us and our third-party partners may present operational, legal, regulatory and reputational risks, including those related to data quality, intellectual property, transparency and complying with evolving laws and standards. If we are unable to effectively adopt and integrate AI technologies into our operations, supply chain, and consumer-facing platforms at the pace of our competitors, our competitive position, operating efficiency, and ability to meet evolving consumer expectations could be adversely affected. The rapid pace of AI development may also require significant investment, and there can be no assurance that our AI initiatives will achieve the intended benefits or keep pace with industry adoption.
We are undergoing a multi-year Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) implementation. The implementation of the ERP will require a significant investment in human and financial resources. Implementing new systems also carries substantial risk, including failure to operate as designed, failure to properly integrate with other systems, potential loss of data or information, cost overruns, implementation delays and disruption of operations. Third-party vendors are also relied upon to design, program, maintain and service our ERP implementation program. Any failures of these vendors to properly deliver their services could similarly have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, any disruptions or malfunctions affecting our ERP implementation plan could cause critical information upon which we rely to be delayed, defective, corrupted, inadequate, inaccessible or lost or otherwise cause delays or disruptions to our operations, and we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace impacted systems.
Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants, shareholders, customers, employees and regulators have increasingly focused on ESG or “sustainability” practices of companies. We have a publicly announced global strategy to achieve significant, measurable goals across a range of important environmental and social sustainability issues, including, renewable energy, responsible material sourcing, water use and chemical management and waste reduction. We have also set science-based targets around greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions. We rely on our supply chain partners to meet certain of our targets, including our scope 3 GHG emissions reduction goals; however, our supply chain is complex and almost entirely comprised of parties not within our control. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG targets, practices or the speed of adoption or that we may not be successful in achieving our goals on the timelines set or at all, which could negatively impact our brands, our reputation, and customer and employee retention. In addition, we are susceptible to risks associated with changing stakeholder attitudes regarding environmental, social and political issues and consumer perceptions of our position on these issues. Discrepancies between disclosed ESG targets or progress and actual outcomes may expose us to securities litigation, regulatory enforcement or consumer protection claims.
In addition, many jurisdictions in which we and our suppliers operate have begun enacting new ESG and climate legislation and regulations. Such proposed and/or enacted regulations include expanded disclosure requirements regarding GHG emissions and other climate-related information, including disclosure of climate-related risks and independent auditors providing some level of attestation to the accuracy of such disclosures. Evolving product safety, environmental, and chemical‑regulation requirements, including restrictions on certain chemicals may require changes to materials, suppliers, testing procedures or product assortments and could increase costs or limit availability of certain products. In addition, environmental and product‑lifecycle regulations, including extended producer responsibility regimes for packaging and other materials, may impose additional fees, reporting, take‑back, or recycling obligations that could increase compliance costs and operational complexity. Our ability to comply with any such new ESG and/or climate laws and regulations may lead to increased costs and operational complexity and/or we may be required to divert costs and resources in order to comply with ESG frameworks, and legal, legislative and regulatory requirements. Any failure on our part to comply with such ESG-related regulations could lead to adverse consumer actions and/or investment decisions by investors, as well as expose us to government enforcement action and/or private litigation.
Our business, including our retail, distribution and manufacturing operations, is susceptible to the physical and transitional risks associated with climate change and other environmental impacts that could negatively affect our business and operations. For example, the acute and chronic physical risks of climate change, such as increased severity of extreme weather events, changes in weather and precipitation patterns and/or rising temperatures and sea levels may (i) cause potential disruptions to our retail stores, distribution centers and corporate facilities or those facilities of our wholesale customers, licensees or suppliers, (ii) adversely impact global supply chains, including the availability and cost of raw materials, (iii) negatively affect the ability of our manufacturers to fulfill our orders timely and/or to our specifications, (iv) cause shipping disruptions and/or (v) lead to higher freight costs. An increase in extreme weather conditions could also result in more frequent damage and/or closures of our stores and distribution centers (or facilities of our wholesale customers, licensees or suppliers), adversely impact retail traffic, consumers’ disposable income levels or spending habits on discretionary items, or otherwise disrupt business operations in the communities in which we or our partners operate, any of which could result in lost sales or higher costs. In addition, concern over climate change may result in policy/legal-, technology-, market- and/or reputation-related transition risks. For example, increased climate-related disclosures, increased exposure to litigation resulting from new or additional legal requirements, mandates on our products and services,services and substitution of existing products with lower emission options may result in increased operational and administrative compliance costs. Changing customer behavior, increased costs of raw materials, shifts in customer preferences, increased stakeholder concern and stigmatization of the fashion industry are also climate-related transition risks that could negatively impact us.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law by the Biden Administration, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income ("CAMT") and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The CAMT was effective beginning Fiscal 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, however, we will continue to monitor for any potential impact as additional guidance becomes available.impact. With respect to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases, this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act was effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states reached an agreement to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s ("OECD") reform of international taxation known as Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") Rules, which broadly mirrors certain provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act by imposing a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. GloBE has became effective during Fiscal 2025. Based upon our analysis, the Pillar Two initiatives are not projected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements at this time. We continue to monitor developments and their impact on our tax provision in accordance with where we earn our income globally.
On January 10, 2025, the United States Treasury and the IRS issued final regulations that address several long-standing issues related to dual consolidated losses and introduce new rules for disregarded payment losses. The changes related to disregarded payment losses could impact how we utilize certain deductions and losses to offset its U.S. income as part of our global financing activities, beginning in Fiscal 2027. We will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.
We have significant deferred tax assets consisting primarily of net operating losses, reserves and interest expense accruals that are not currently deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the three year cumulative loss at a consolidated level, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for the vast majority of its deferred tax assets in Fiscal 2025. We intend to generate sufficient future income and plan to implement tax planning strategies to utilize these deferred tax assets which may lead to the reversal of all or part of the valuation allowance and a reduction of future income tax expense. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income or achieve the desired results of our tax planning strategies, we may not be able to realize the full benefit of our deferred tax assets which may have an adverse impact to our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
We require our independent manufacturing contractors to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance, as well as our Supplier Code of Conduct and other compliance policies under our Factory Social and Environmental Compliance Program. Our staff and the third-parties we retain for such purposes periodically visit and monitor the operations of our independent manufacturing contractors to determine compliance. However, we generally do not control these manufacturing contractors or suppliers or their labor, environmental or other business practices. The violation of labor, environmental or other laws by an independent manufacturer or supplier, or divergence of an independent manufacturer’s or supplier’s labor practices from those generally accepted as ethical or appropriate or that violate our Supplier Code of Conduct, could interrupt or otherwise disrupt the shipment of our products, harm our trademarks or damage our reputation. Further, we could be prohibited from importing goods by governmental authorities. The occurrence of any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our VERSACE,MICHAEL KORS and JIMMY CHOO and MICHAEL KORS trademarks, as well as other material trademarks, copyrights and design and patent rights related to the production, marketing and distribution of our products, are important to our success and our competitive position. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights in the Americas, EMEA, Asia and elsewhere in the world in both online and offline channels. Our brands enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and the generally higher pricing of our products creates additional incentive for counterfeiters to infringe on our brands. We work with customs authorities, law enforcement, legal representatives and brand specialists globally in an effort to prevent the sale of counterfeit products, but we cannot guarantee the extent to which our efforts to prevent counterfeiting of our brands and other intellectual property infringement will be successful. Such counterfeiting and other intellectual property infringement could dilute our brands and otherwise harm our reputation and business.
We are subject to shareholdersecurities class action litigation relatingwhich tocould theresult terminatedin Merger.significant costs and liability.
We and certain of our present and former officers have been named as defendants in putative securities class action litigation alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with statements regarding the previously proposed merger (the “Merger”) with Tapestry, Inc. (“Tapestry”) and the FTC’s action to enjoin the Merger.
On March 31, 2026, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the amended complaint without prejudice. On April 30, 2026, plaintiff's filed the First Amended Complaint. This litigation remains pending. Defending this litigation, even if ultimately resolved in our favor, is costly and time‑consuming and may divert management’s attention and resources from our business operations. An adverse outcome could result in substantial monetary damages, which may not be fully covered by available insurance. We cannot predict the outcome or timing of this matter or its ultimate impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
On December 23, 2024 and January 28, 2025, two purported shareholders of Capri filed putative class action complaints in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Capri, Tapestry and certain of their officers (including John D. Idol, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas J. Edwards, Jr., our Chief Financial and Chief Operating Officer) alleging violations of the federal securities laws based on certain statements by defendants concerning the previously proposed Merger and the FTC’s action to enjoin the Merger. The Court appointed the lead plaintiff on March 7, 2025, and on May 15, 2025 the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Federal Securities Law Complaint”). The Amended Federal Securities Law Complaint seeks to bring federal securities claims on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased Capri stock and sold Capri puts between August 10, 2023 and October 24, 2024. We may incur substantial costs defending the Amended Federal Securities Law Complaint, and we cannot provide assurance regarding the outcome of this Amended Federal Securities Law Complaint. An unfavorable judgment or ruling could result in substantial liability. We may also be subject to additional demands or filed actions. Our potential liability to shareholders for federal securities claims or other matters related to the previously terminated Merger may be covered in part by our insurance policies, but we may not always have adequate insurance to defend all claims.
Although we have reduced our level of indebtedness, our access to and cost of borrowing, as well as our ability to service or refinance debt, could still be adversely affected by market conditions and other factors.
We utilize indebtedness as part of our capital structure and may incur additional indebtedness in the future. While we have reduced our outstanding debt levels, our ability to service existing debt, refinance indebtedness or obtain additional financing on favorable terms depends on a number of factors, including our operating performance, cash flows, credit ratings and general economic and market conditions. A portion of our indebtedness is scheduled to mature in July 2027 and our ability to repay, refinance or extend such obligations depends on our financial results, available liquidity, and access to the credit and capital markets. If we are unable to refinance or otherwise address these maturities on acceptable terms, our financial condition, results or operation or financial flexibility could be adversely affected.
Our access to the credit and capital markets and the cost of any future borrowings may be adversely affected by deterioration in market conditions, changes in interest rates, tightening of credit markets or a downgrade of our credit ratings or outlook. Any such developments could limit our financial flexibility, increase borrowing or hedging costs, or restrict our ability to fund capital expenditures, pursue strategic initiatives, or respond to business opportunities, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial condition and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or engage in additional transactions.
As of March 29, 2025, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.5 billion. Our total borrowings as of March 29, 2025 primarily relate to our revolving credit facility of $755 million. Our ability to make payments on and refinance our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash from our operations. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Our substantial level of indebtedness could have negative consequences to our business and we cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make payments on our debt, fund other liquidity needs, make necessary capital expenditures or pursue certain business opportunities. Our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing and negatively impact our ability to enter into new financing arrangements in the future.
In addition, our ability to access credit and capital markets in the future as a source of funding, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, is dependent upon market conditions and our credit rating and outlook. If our credit rating is downgraded in the future, it could result in reduced access to the credit and capital markets, more restrictive covenants in future financial documents and higher interest costs and potentially increased lease or hedging costs.
Pursuant to our amended and restated credit agreement, dated February 4, 2025 (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), the obligations under the 2025 Credit Facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries that are borrowers and guarantors, excluding real property and other customary exceptions, and substantially all of the registered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The terms of our indebtedness also contain affirmative and negative covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may restrict our ability to engage in future business opportunities or pursue our strategies. The Company’s 2025 Credit Facilities requires us to maintain a quarterly maximum permitted net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. The 2025 Credit Facilities also contain certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to:
The 2025 Credit Facilities also contain certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to:
As part of our hedging activities, we enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments, including cross-currency swaps to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and foreign currencies, with various financial institutions. In addition, we have significant amounts of cash, cash equivalents and other investments on deposit or in accounts with banks or other financial institutions in the United States and abroad. We also rely on borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, under which we had $794$1.182 millionbillion of borrowing capacity as of March 29,28, 2025.2026. We rely on that borrowing capacity to fund our operations. As a result, we are exposed to the risk of default by, or failure of, counterparty financial institutions to meet their contractual obligations to us. This risk may be heightened during economic downturns and periods of uncertainty in the financial markets. If one of our counterparties were to become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, our ability to borrow funds or recover losses incurred as a result of a default or our assets that are deposited or held in accounts with such counterparty may be limited by the counterparty’s liquidity or the applicable laws governing the insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. In the event of default or failure of one or more of our counterparties, we could incur significant losses or our financial liquidity could be adversely impacted, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

On April 8, 2025, our Board of Directors made the decision to sell Versace to Prada, and a definitive agreement was entered into on April 10, 2025. Accordingly, we determined that the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria were met and we classified the results of operations and cash flows of our Versace business as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. On December 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our Versace business. The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations only relates to our continuing operations. Refer to Note 4 - “Discontinued Operations” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tapestry
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. The Merger Agreement provided that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry would acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri, with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry.
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressure, geopolitical instability due to war or other geopolitical factors (such as the conflicts in the Middle East) and broader macroeconomic uncertainty and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business in Fiscal 2026, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the luxury accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. Given the discretionary nature of our products, fluctuations in consumer confidence and disposable income, as well as elevated inflation impacts our business performance.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our results of operations were impacted by volatility in manufacturing and sourcing costs during Fiscal 2026, primarily driven by changes in raw material prices, labor costs and fuel and freight expenses (including increases in such costs due to the conflicts in the Middle East). In addition, because all of our products sold in the United States are manufactured outside the U.S., changes in trade policies, tariffs and import regulations affected product costs and operating income. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were unlawful. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, and these actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and administration of trade measures, including the timing and recoverability of tariff refunds or relief where applicable, also contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, variability in costs and cash flows. We continue to seek to mitigate the impact of trade measures through sourcing strategies, free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives, where available, but the extent to which we will be able to offset through such mitigation efforts is difficult to predict.
Foreign currency fluctuation and foreign currency hedging instruments. Our consolidated results were impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and the functional currency of our non-United States subsidiaries, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. Currency volatility impacted our Fiscal 2026 reported results and contributed, or are expected to contribute, to variability of results in prior and future periods. We also utilize derivative instruments, including cross-currency hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure associated with our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which can help mitigate, but does not eliminate, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, and the effectiveness of our hedging strategies may vary based on market conditions and the timing and magnitude of currency movements.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Our results of operations have been impacted, and may continue to be impacted, by disruptions in global shipping, distribution and supply chain operations. During recent periods, port congestion and closures, capacity constraints across ocean, trucking and distribution networks, and disruptions to certain international shipping routes contributed to increased logistics and production costs, affected the timing of inventory receipts and created pressure on gross margin.
Impairment losses. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, we identified impairment indicators due to the termination of the Merger Agreement, the decline in our share price, continued softening of consumer demand for fashion luxury goods globally and the continuing decline in operating results during the third quarter impacting all three of our brands. As we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain reporting units and/or brands were below their carrying amounts, we performed an interim impairment test during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. As a result of our impairment assessment, we recorded $671 million of impairment charges related to our Versace and Jimmy Choo goodwill and intangible assets. It is possible that our conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other intangible assets could change in future periods. Such changes could result in future impairment charges of goodwill or other intangible assets and such amounts could be significant. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “We may incur significant goodwill and/or intangible asset impairment charges with respect to one or more of our brands which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.”
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business in Fiscal 2025, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the luxury accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. Inflation, rising interest rates, higher fuel and energy costs and commodity prices, reductions in net worth based on stock market declines and uncertainty, home prices, credit availability and consumer debt levels, political instability due to war or other geopolitical factors, including the presidential change in the U.S., and other macroeconomic pressures and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment along with tariffs and foreign currency fluctuations have created a challenging retail environment, which is expected to continue in the near term. There continues to be uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to the above-mentioned items. Our revenue and earnings in future periods may be subject to significant material change as a result of these and other macroeconomic factors. Purchases of discretionary luxury items, such as the accessories, footwear and apparel that we produce tend to decline when disposable income is lower or when there are recessions, inflationary pressures or other economic uncertainty which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. This volatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time, as well as manufacturing labor costs which are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. Virtually all of our products are subject to duties which may impact the cost of our products. In April 2025, the U.S. Government announced tariffs on imports from select countries. The majority of the Company's products sold in the U.S. are imported from countries in which these tariffs were announced, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, where the primary manufacturers of Michael Kors products are located. Increased tariffs or other trade restrictions against countries where our products are manufactured, and/or any tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by these countries in retaliation, could materially impact our revenue and profitability. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible and diversifying the countries where we produce, and we are continuing to explore ways to mitigate our potential exposure to risks associated with new or increased duties, tariffs, or other import controls or restrictions but we may not be able to mitigate the risk fully or at all. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products, and the imposition or threat of imposition of new or additional duties, tariffs or trade restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition."
Luxury goods trends and demand for our accessories and related merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, global consumer spending, macroeconomic factors, overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, material reductions in revenues across our brands and regions driven by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods as well as Versace and Michael Kors’ brand repositioning efforts. If demand for global fashion luxury goods continues to soften and/or if we do not correctly gauge consumer needs and fashion trends and respond appropriately, our future results of operations may be materially impacted.
Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and those of our non-United States subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the United States dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-United States subsidiaries in the future, when translated to the United States dollar.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Any disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures, could have a negative impact on our results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods” and “Our business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities, including disruptions or delays in manufacturing or shipments” for additional discussion.
Implementing and updating information technology systems. During Fiscal 2024, we began implementing a new state of the art e-commerce platform across certain of our brands which was completed in Fiscal 2025. While the new platform is designed to improve the user experience and enhance consumer engagement, the transition created unanticipated challenges which have negatively impacted our results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “A material delay or disruption in our information technology systems or e-commerce websites or our failure or inability to upgrade our information technology systems precisely and efficiently could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition” for additional discussion.

In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information technology systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including transactionTapestry related transaction income (costsexpense), impairment charges and restructuring and other expense. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance.

The following table presents our global network of retail stores by brand:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 3 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed below and include revenue recognition, inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, derivativesassets and income taxes.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. We recognize retail store revenue when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at our owned stores, including concessions. Revenue from sales through our e-commerce sites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to our wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for retail, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and current customer returns. The amounts reserved for retail sales returns were $18$14 million, $18$16 million and $22$15 million at March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025,2025 and March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023,2024, respectively. Net sales for wholesale equals gross sales, reduced by provisions for estimated future returns based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks,chargebacks and certain cooperative selling expenses. Total sales reserves for wholesale were $63$49 million, $61$43 million and $73$44 million at March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025,2025 and March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023,2024, respectively. These estimates are based on such factors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Our historical estimates of these costs were not materially different from actual results.
Our inventory costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus dutiesduties, tariffs and freight to bring the goods to the Company’s warehouses, as well as shipments to stores. The combined total of raw materials and work in process recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as of bothMarch 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 was $20 million and March$17 30,million, 2024 was $45 million.respectively. We continuously evaluate the composition of our inventory and make adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of our inventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand and market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and inventory counts. Our inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of these adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
During Fiscal 2025,2026, Fiscal 20242025 and Fiscal 2023,2024, we recorded impairment charges of $136$40 million, $88$61 million and $36$32 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets of our retail store locations. Please referRefer to Note 89 - “Property and Equipment, Net” and Note 1415 of- “Fair Value Measurements” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The brand intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitionsacquisition of Versace and Jimmy Choo were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as the Versace brand and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill, the Versace brandgoodwill and the Jimmy Choo brand areis assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.
When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of our brand intangible assets, the fair value of the Versace and the Jimmy Choo brandsbrand is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the “relief from royalty” method, assuming that a third-party would be willing to pay a royalty in lieu of ownership for this intangible asset. This approach is dependent on many factors, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the brand intangible assets is less than its carrying amount.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, we identified impairment indicators due to the reduction of our share price following the termination of the Merger Agreement, continued softening of consumer demand for fashion luxury goods globally and the continuing decline in operating results during the third quarter impacting all three of our brands. As a result of these factors, we concluded that impairment indicators existed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, resulting in an interim impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets. We performed a goodwill impairment analysis for the Versace and Jimmy Choo reporting units, using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of each brands’ reporting units. We also performed an impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived customer relationship intangible assets using an income approach to estimate their fair values.
Based on the results of these assessments, we determined there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting unit goodwill as the fair value exceeded the related carrying value. However, we concluded that the fair value of the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit goodwill and Retail and Wholesale brand indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their related carrying amounts and we recorded impairment. These impairment charges were primarily related to a decline in revenue driven by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $66 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit that has a remaining balance of $27 million. The Jimmy Choo Retail reporting unit’s goodwill balance was fully impaired during Fiscal 2024. We also recorded impairment charges of $15 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets that have remaining balances of $151 million and $53 million, respectively.
Further, based on the results of these assessments, we determined that there was no impairment for the Versace Licensing reporting unit goodwill as the fair value exceeded the related carrying value. However, the fair value of the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting units goodwill and Retail and Wholesale brand indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their related carrying amounts. These impairment charges were primarily related to a decline in revenue driven by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods as well as strategic initiatives previously put in place at Versace that did not perform as expected. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $364 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting units goodwill that have remaining balances of $101 million and $23 million, respectively. We also recorded impairment charges of $216 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets that have remaining balances of $365 million and $88 million, respectively.
Lastly,During basedthe fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, we performed our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis. Based on a qualitative impairment assessment of the Michael Kors reporting units, we concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors reporting units exceededwas itsless than their carrying valuevalues and, therefore, werewas not impaired. TheWe elected to perform quantitative impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) incomeanalyses for the periodJimmy endedChoo Marchreporting 29,units 2025.using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair values of the reporting units. We also elected to perform a quantitative impairment analysis for the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets.
Based on the results of these assessments, we determined there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo Wholesale and Licensing reporting unit’s goodwill as the fair value was higher than the related carrying value. The Jimmy Choo Retail reporting unit’s goodwill balance was fully impaired during Fiscal 2024. Further, we concluded there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit’s brand intangible asset as the fair value was higher than the related carrying value. There was also no impairment for the Jimmy Choo Retail brand intangible asset as the fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 6% which has a remaining net carrying value of $155 million.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, we performed our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment for our Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reporting units using a qualitative assessment. In performing this assessment, we identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events and circumstances that affected the fair values and/or carrying amounts of its reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as our actual and expected financial performance. Additionally, we also considered the results of our most recent quantitative goodwill impairment test which was performed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025 as noted above. Based on the results of our qualitative impairment assessment, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reporting units exceeded their carrying values and, therefore, were not impaired.
In Fiscal 2025, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $66 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit and $15 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets. In Fiscal 2024, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $192 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units,units and $70 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets and $227 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets. In Fiscal 2023, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $82 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units and $24 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statementstatements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal years ended March 30,29, 20242025 and AprilMarch 1,30, 2023,2024, respectively. SeeRefer to Note 910 - “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” to the accompanying financial statements for information relating to the annual impairment analysis performed during Fiscal 2025,2026, Fiscal 20242025 and Fiscal 2023.2024.
Share-based Compensation
We grant share-based awards to certain of our employees and directors. The closing market price at the grant date is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. These values are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements. Compensation expense for performance-based RSUs is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period when attainment of the performance goals is deemed probable, which involves judgment as to achievement of certain performance metrics. The grant date fair value of share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use subjective assumptions.
We use our own historical experience in determining the expected holding period and volatility of our time-based share option awards. Determining the grant date fair value of share options requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate and forfeitures. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, the fair value of future awards and resulting share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have estimated in the past.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. We, in our normal course of business, enter into transactions with foreign suppliers and seek to minimize risks related to these transactions. We employ these contracts to hedge our cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of our derivative instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.
We designate certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including a description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third-party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized within cost of goods sold. We use regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency loss in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. We classify cash flows relating to our forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchases of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item within cash flows from operating activities.
We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.
We also use cross currency swap agreements to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between different currencies. We have elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, and have designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest (income) expense, net, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold or liquidated.
We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure.
As of March 30, 2024, we had $2.5 billion of hedges outstanding to hedge our net investment in Swiss Franc (“CHF”) denominated subsidiaries, of which we will exchange semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in CHF. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, we entered into additional fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $450 million, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in CHF.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, we terminated multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $325 million related to our net investment in CHF denominated subsidiaries which resulted in us receiving an immaterial amount of cash. Subsequently, we entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $325 million related to our net investment in CHF denominated subsidiaries, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in CHF.

As of March 29, 2025, we had $3.5 billion of hedges outstanding to hedge our net investment in CHF denominated subsidiaries. These contracts have maturity dates between July 2025 and October 2030 and are designated as net investment hedges.
As of March 30, 2024, we had $1.35 billion of cross-currency hedges outstanding related to our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries, of which $1 billion was related to float-to-float cross-currency hedges and $350 million was related to fixed-to-fixed cross currency hedges. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, we entered into additional fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $534 million, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, we entered into additional fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $500 million, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, we terminated our float-to-float cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1 billion, which resulted in us receiving $42 million of cash. These were subsequently replaced by fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1 billion related to our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, we terminated our fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.384 billion, which resulted in the receipt of $42 million of cash. These were subsequently replaced by fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.364 billion related to our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries, of which we will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro. As of March 29, 2025, we had $2.364 billion of fixed-to-fixed cross-currency hedges outstanding related to our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries. These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and July 2031 and have been designated as net investment hedges.

Refer to Note 43 - "“Discontinued Operations"” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tapestry
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tapestry, a Maryland corporation, and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. The Merger Agreement provided that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry would acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri, with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry.
The Merger had been approved by the boards of directors of Capri and Tapestry and by the shareholders of Capri. Completion of the Merger was subject to, among other customary conditions, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Company received regulatory approval from all countries except for the United States. In connection with Tapestry’s proposed acquisition of Capri, on April 22, 2024, the U.S. FTC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Tapestry and the Company seeking to block the Merger, claiming that the Merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Merger constituted unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined. The preliminary injunction hearing concluded in September 2024, and on October 24, 2024, the District Court granted the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Merger pending the completion of the FTC's in-house administrative proceeding. On October 28, 2024, Tapestry and Capri jointly filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”).
On November 13, 2024, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into a termination agreement pursuant to which they agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. In connection with the termination, consistent with the Merger Agreement, Tapestry agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $45 million in cash for certain expenses on November 14, 2024. The parties to the Merger Agreement also agreed to release each other and their related parties from any and all liability, claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liens, obligations, accounts, debts, demands, agreements, promises, liabilities, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees) in connection with, arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. On November 15, 2024, Capri and Tapestry stipulated to the dismissal of the appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 4, 2024, the FTC’s in-house administrative proceeding was dismissed without prejudice.
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions, including inflation,inflationary politicalpressure, geopolitical instability due to war or other geopolitical factors (such as the conflicts in the Middle East) and otherbroader macroeconomic uncertainty and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business induring the first ninethree months of Fiscal 2026,2027, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the luxury accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. PurchasesGiven the discretionary nature of discretionaryour luxuryproducts, items,fluctuations suchin consumer confidence and disposable income, as thewell accessories,as footwearelevated andinflation, apparel that we produce, tend to decline when disposable income is lower or when there are inflationary pressures or other economic uncertainty which could negatively affectimpact our financialbusiness condition and results of operations.performance.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our results of operations were impacted by volatility in manufacturing and sourcing costs during the first three months of Fiscal 2027, primarily driven by changes in raw material prices, labor costs and fuel and freight expenses (including increases in such costs due to the conflicts in the Middle East). In addition, because all of our products sold in the United States are manufactured outside the U.S., changes in trade policies, tariffs and import regulations affected product costs and operating income. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were unlawful. We are entitled to a refund of approximately $65 million in IEEPA tariffs previously paid to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Accordingly, as we intend to recover all the IEEPA tariffs previously paid we recorded an IEEPA tariff refund receivable of $65 million in the prior fiscal year of which we have received $49 million as of July 31, 2026. We still expect to recover the full amount, though actual timing and amounts are subject to completion of the CBP’s refund process and involve inherent risks, including delays in government processing, administrative offsets, appeals of court orders directing refunds, or changes in law or policy affecting the refund process.
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs of 10% pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 effective for 150 days, which commenced on February 24, 2026 and subsequently expired on July 24, 2026. On July 23, 2026, the United States Trade Representative took action under Section 301 imposing tariffs on 60 economies for forced-labor enforcement failures, at country-specific rates of 10% or 12.5%, effective on July 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, and these actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and administration of trade measures, including the timing and recoverability of tariff refunds or relief where applicable, also contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, variability in costs and cash flows. We continue to seek to mitigate the impact of trade measures through sourcing strategies, free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives, where available, but the extent to which we will be able to offset through such mitigation efforts is difficult to predict.
Foreign currency fluctuation and foreign currency hedging instruments. Our consolidated results were impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and the functional currency of our non-United States subsidiaries, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. Currency volatility impacted our first quarter Fiscal 2027 reported results and contributed, or are expected to contribute, to variability of results in prior and future periods. We also utilize derivative instruments, including cross-currency hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure associated with our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which can help mitigate, but does not eliminate, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, and the effectiveness of our hedging strategies may vary based on market conditions and the timing and magnitude of currency movements.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Our results of operations have been impacted, and may continue to be impacted, by disruptions in global shipping, distribution and supply chain operations. During recent periods, port congestion and closures, capacity constraints across ocean, trucking and distribution networks, and disruptions to certain international shipping routes contributed to increased logistics and production costs, affected the timing of inventory receipts and created pressure on gross margin.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products primarily driven by commodity prices, as well as manufacturing labor costs. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. In April 2025, the U.S. Government announced tariffs on imports from select countries. The majority of the Company's products sold in the U.S. are imported from countries in which these tariffs were announced, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, where the primary manufacturers of Michael Kors products are located. Increased tariffs or other trade restrictions against countries where our products are manufactured, and/or any tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by these countries in retaliation, could materially impact our revenue and profitability.
Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and those of our non-United States subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the United States dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-United States subsidiaries in the future, when translated to the United States dollar.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including at U.S. ports and in the Red Sea, as well as port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures, have in the past impacted our business, and continued disruptions or delays could negatively impact our results of operations in the future.
We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, and through our e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo tradename in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including fragrances and eyewear.
In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information technology systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costsexpenses and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including Tapestry related transaction income (costs), impairment charges and restructuring and other (expense) income.expense. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance.
The following table presents our total revenue and income from continuing operations by segment for the three and nine months ended DecemberJune 27, 20252026 and DecemberJune 28, 20242025 (in millions):
(1)Impairment of assets during the nine months ended December 27, 2025 primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Michael Kors store locations. Impairment of assets during the nine months ended December 28, 2024 includes $83 million and $18 million of impairment charges related to the Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reportable segments, respectively.
Seasonality
We experience certain effects of seasonality with respect to our business. We generally experience greater sales during our third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 32 - "“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies are disclosed, in full, in the MD&Amanagement’s discussion and analysis section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29,28, 2025.2026. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since March 29,28, 2025.2026.
