ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business
Our Company
Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri”) is a global fashion luxury group consisting of iconic brands Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors. Our commitment to glamorous style and craftsmanship is at the heart of each of our luxury brands. We have built our reputation on designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories. Our strength lies in the unique DNA and heritage of each of our brands, the diversity and passion of our people and our dedication to the clients and communities we serve.
Our Brands
Versace
Our Versace brand has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading fashion design houses and is synonymous with Italian glamour and style. Founded in 1978 in Milan, Versace is known for its iconic and unmistakable style and unparalleled craftsmanship. Over the past several decades, the House of Versace has grown globally from its roots in haute couture, expanding into the design, manufacturing, distribution and retailing of ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear, eyewear, watches, jewelry, fragrance and home furnishings. Versace distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, which includes boutiques in some of the world’s most fashionable cities, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
Jimmy Choo
Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range, whose core product offering is women’s luxury shoes, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves and belts, as well as men’s luxury shoes and accessories. In addition, certain categories, including fragrance and eyewear, are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, alongside innovative collections that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
Michael Kors
Our Michael Kors brand was launched over 40 years ago by Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, ready-to-wear and footwear company with a global distribution network that has presence in over 100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized luxury fashion brand in the Americas and Europe with growing brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship that embraces the allure of the jet set lifestyle. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors line and the Michael Kors Mens line. Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by select retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering ready-to-wear and footwear. We have also been developing our men’s business in recognition of the significant opportunity afforded by the Michael Kors brand’s established fashion authority and the expanding men’s market. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.
Our Segments
We operate in three reportable segments as follows:
•Versace - accounted for approximately 18% of our total revenue in Fiscal 2025 and includes worldwide sales of Versace products through 228 retail stores (including concessions) and e-commerce sites, through wholesale doors (including multi-brand stores), as well as through product and geographic licensing arrangements.
•Jimmy Choo - accounted for approximately 14% of our total revenue in Fiscal 2025 and includes worldwide sales of Jimmy Choo products through 219 retail stores (including concessions) and e-commerce sites, through wholesale doors (including multi-brand stores), as well as through product and geographic licensing arrangements.
•Michael Kors - accounted for approximately 68% of our total revenue in Fiscal 2025 and includes worldwide sales of Michael Kors products through 711 retail stores (including concessions) and e-commerce sites, through wholesale doors, as well as through product and geographic licensing arrangements.
In addition to these reportable segments, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to our segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information technology systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system implementation costs and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including costs related to the previously proposed Merger and the pending sale of the Versace business, impairment charges, the impact of the war in Ukraine, restructuring and other expense and COVID-19 related expenses. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. For additional financial information regarding our segments and corporate unallocated expenses, see Note 20 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Industry
We operate in the global personal luxury goods industry. Since 1996, the global personal luxury goods industry has increased at a mid-single-digit compound annual growth rate. In 2024, the personal luxury goods market declined year-over-year for the first time in 15 years (excluding Covid). Personal luxury goods declined 2% to an estimated €363 billion. The decline in revenue was driven by a decline in volumes, with the global personal luxury goods customer base shrinking for the first time in history. At the same time, top customers took further share of the personal luxury goods market. Bain* studies estimate that there were approximately 50 million fewer customers purchasing personal luxury goods over the last two years. Going forward, the market is predicted to increase at a 4-6% compound annual growth rate between 2024 and 2030 to approximately €460-500 billion. Future growth will be driven by both a growing addressable consumer base and growing addressable wealth. As the personal luxury goods market continues to evolve, Capri is committed to designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories, increasing customer engagement initiatives across all three brands and tailoring merchandise to customer shopping and communication preferences as part of our growth strategy.
*Bain - Altagamma Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study, Fall 2024 (November 13, 2024). These studies were prepared by Bain & Company and Altagamma and can be obtained free of charge or at a nominal cost by contacting Bain & Company’s media contacts. While we believe that each of these studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources.
Geographic Information
We generate revenue globally through our three reportable segments, as described above. We sell our Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors products through retail and wholesale channels in three principal geographic markets: the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia (Asia and Oceania). We also have wholesale arrangements pursuant to which we sell products to geographic licensees. In addition, we have licensing agreements through which we license to third-parties the use of our Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brand names and trademarks, certain production rights and sales and/or distribution rights with respect to our brands.

Competitive Strengths
We believe that the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:
Three Powerful Fashion Luxury Brands that Resonate with Consumers. Versace is a heritage Italian luxury fashion house famous for its bold and glamorous aesthetic with a 46-year legacy. Jimmy Choo is a British luxury footwear and accessories brand with an empowered sense of glamour and a playfully daring spirit with a 28-year history. Michael Kors is an iconic American luxury brand known for its easy glamour, timelessness and a jet set lifestyle with a 44-year heritage. Each of our fashion luxury houses is well established with strong consumer affinity demonstrated by the sustained double-digit growth of their respective databases.
Global Fashion Luxury Group Led by a World-Class Management Team and Renowned Designers. We are a global fashion luxury group, consisting of three iconic brands defined by fashion luxury products with a reputation for world-class design and innovation. The design leadership of our Chief Creative Officers is a unique advantage that we possess. Our design teams are supported by our senior management team with extensive experience across a broad range of disciplines in the retail industry, including design, sales, marketing, public relations, merchandising, real estate, supply chain and finance. With an average of 25 years of experience in the retail industry, including at a number of public companies, and an average of 21 years of experience with our brands, our senior management team has strong creative and operational experience and a successful track record.
Until recently, Donatella Versace had been Versace’s Chief Creative Officer, molding Versace’s iconic style. Effective April 1, 2025, Dario Vitale became Chief Creative Officer. The house of Versace has a unique heritage that has spanned decades and has helped shape the history of fashion. Versace is known for its Italian heritage and unapologetic glamour. Versace designs are often worn by the world’s most famous celebrities.
Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the Jimmy Choo brand since its inception in 1996. Jimmy Choo products are glamorous and daring. The Jimmy Choo brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, alongside innovative collections that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo’s products have a strong red carpet presence and are often worn by global celebrities.
The Michael Kors brand was launched over 40 years ago by Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, who is responsible for conceptualizing and directing the design of our Michael Kors brand products. We believe that the Michael Kors brand name has become synonymous with luxurious fashion that is timeless and elegant, expressed through the brand’s sophisticated accessories and ready-to-wear collections. Each of our Michael Kors brand collections exemplifies a glamorous lifestyle and features high quality designs, materials and craftsmanship. Michael Kors has received a number of awards, which recognize the contribution he and his team have made to the fashion industry and our Company. Some of the most widely recognized global trendsetters and celebrities wear our Michael Kors brand collections.
Expertise in the Accessories Category. We have strong group expertise in accessories. The strength of our Michael Kors Collection and our MICHAEL Michael Kors line have allowed us to expand our brand awareness and position Michael Kors as one of the leading global luxury brands in the accessories product categories. Capitalizing on the success of our accessories product category, we continue to further develop the accessories businesses for Jimmy Choo and Versace, bringing our accessories expertise, including our product category knowledge, our merchandising best practices and our substantial group buying power to these brands. We believe that Jimmy Choo’s women’s accessories revenues have the ability to grow and our goal is to increase this category from approximately 20% of revenues in Fiscal 2025 to 30% over time.
Exceptional Retail Store Footprint. Versace operates in three primary retail formats: boutiques, outlet and e-commerce. We operated 228 Versace retail stores as of March 29, 2025 in some of the most fashionable cities and the most sought-after shopping destinations around the world. Versace’s products are distributed worldwide through a global network of highly specialized stores, which average approximately 2,900 gross square feet. In addition, we operate Versace e-commerce sites in the United States, Europe and China (covering 90 countries worldwide).
We operated 219 Jimmy Choo retail stores as of March 29, 2025, in some of the most premier locations worldwide. Jimmy Choo retail stores, comprised of full-price stores and outlets, average approximately 1,500 gross square feet. In addition, we operate Jimmy Choo e-commerce sites in the United States, certain parts of Europe, Japan, China, Australia and Korea.
We operated 711 Michael Kors stores as of March 29, 2025 with four primary retail formats: collection stores, lifestyle stores, outlet stores and e-commerce sites. Michael Kors collection stores are located in some of the world’s most prestigious shopping areas and average approximately 2,700 gross square feet in size. The Michael Kors lifestyle stores are located in some of the world’s most frequented metropolitan shopping locations and leading regional shopping centers, and average approximately 2,700 gross square feet in size. We also extend our reach to additional consumer groups through our outlet stores, which average approximately 4,500 gross square feet in size. In addition, we also operate Michael Kors e-commerce sites in North America, China, Japan, South Korea, certain parts of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Oceania.
World-class Omni and CRM Capabilities. We have omni-channel capabilities from best-in-class digital platforms to state-of-the-art distribution facilities globally, which we leverage across businesses. We will continue to implement omni-channel capabilities throughout our businesses and have begun leveraging our distribution centers globally to serve multiple brands.
Strong Relationships with Premier Department Stores. We partner with leading wholesale customers, such as Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue in North America, as well as Galeries Lafayette, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Printemps and Selfridges in Europe. These relationships enable us to access large numbers of our key consumers in a targeted manner. Our “shop-in-shops” have specially trained staff, as well as customized fixtures, wall casings, decorative items, flooring and provide department store consumers with a more personalized shopping experience than traditional retail department store configurations. We have engaged with our wholesale customers on various initiatives and have continued to enter into supply chain partnerships designed to increase the speed at which our luxury fashion products reach the ultimate consumer. For Michael Kors, we continue to optimize deliveries with the intent to drive more full-price sell-through in the wholesale channel.
Business Strategy
Our goal is to continue to create long-term shareholder value by increasing our revenue and profits and strengthening our global brands. We also believe that sound environmental and social policies are both ethically correct and fiscally responsible. To that end, we are committed to improving the way we work in order to better the world in which we live. We plan to achieve our business strategy by focusing on the following strategic initiatives:
Maximize the Full Potential of our Three Distinct Fashion Luxury Houses. With a portfolio of luxury houses that carry unique heritages, distinctive identities, and loyal customer bases, Capri Holdings is well-positioned to grow revenue and earnings over time. While our strategies are tailored uniquely for each brand, across all of our luxury houses we are focused on building brand desirability through (1) engaging and inspiring new and existing consumers, (2) designing exciting fashion luxury product and (3) delivering exceptional consumer experiences through every touchpoint and channel.
Leverage group expertise and capabilities. We will continue to leverage our group expertise in accessories and footwear to fuel growth across our portfolio of brands, implementing the best practices from our Michael Kors core accessories business to our Versace and Jimmy Choo brands. We will also continue to prioritize the development of our e-commerce platforms and omni-channel capabilities for our brands, leveraging our broad expertise and capabilities in this area. We see a number of opportunities to create long-term operational synergies as we combine our global competencies and footprint. These synergies will be primarily focused on opportunities in our supply chain, information systems, back office support and manufacturing.
Continue to execute on our strategies to grow Jimmy Choo. Our strategies are anchored in our brand promise to unlock a feeling of self-confidence, an innate sense of glamour; be trusted by our community in the moments that matter the most; be leaders in our craft and deliver it with cultural impact and relevance. We plan to grow Jimmy Choo revenue to $800 million over time. To achieve this goal, we plan to reinforce the brand’s glamorous DNA through communications, product and client experience. We plan to engage both new and existing clients through our brand message of igniting joy and empowering achievement. Our product strategy is centered around reinforcing Jimmy Choo’s brand codes including the JC, crystal and pearl. We plan to expand women’s accessories to approximately 30% of the brand’s revenue over time while unlocking further growth in footwear through the continued expansion of our fashion active and casual offerings. Finally, we are committed to delivering exceptional consumer experiences through all touch points and channels including our retail stores, e-commerce and wholesale.
Execute our strategies to return Michael Kors to growth. Our strategies are rooted in our brand promise of delivering standout style for life on the go that gives our consumers the confidence to see the world and make it their own. We plan to grow Michael Kors revenue to $4 billion over time. To achieve this goal, we plan to engage and excite new and existing customers through a modern interpretation of the jet set lifestyle. Our product strategy is centered around creating exciting product with compelling value to drive greater full price sell-throughs and higher Average Unit Retail (AUR). This includes embracing and reinforcing our iconic brand codes in a modern and refined way, a focus on owning hero styles, maintaining a balanced product mix of fashion and core, as well as a balanced pricing architecture. We will lead with accessories while also emphasizing lifestyle categories including footwear, ready-to-wear, men’s and licensing. Additionally, we are committed to delivering exceptional consumer experiences through all touch points and channels including our retail stores, e-commerce and wholesale. Finally, we are focused on increasing Michael Kors retail store sales densities, not only through our product initiatives, but also through our fleet optimization and store renovation programs.
Execute on our corporate social responsibility strategy. We strive to foster a future where both people and the planet are cared for, and we believe that ethical business practices and giving back are critical to our success. Our corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) strategy focuses on four foundational pillars - Our Governance, Our World, Our Community and Our Philanthropy. We continue to take steps to advance our CSR strategy and to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our key sustainability goals, our plans to achieve these goals, and an update on the progress we have made can be found in our annual CSR report located at www.capriholdings.com/CSR.

Advertising and Marketing
Our marketing and advertising programs are designed to build brand awareness for each of our luxury houses as well as highlight our product offerings. We use a 360-degree marketing strategy for each of our brands to deliver a consistent message across each brand’s advertising communications, social media, celebrity dressing, special events and direct marketing activities at a national, regional and local level. Our campaigns are increasingly being executed through digital and social media platforms to drive further engagement with younger consumers.
Our brands introduce their new collections with fashion shows and other fashion events. These fashion events, in addition to celebrity red carpet dressing moments, generate extensive domestic and international media and social media coverage. The Versace and Michael Kors semi-annual runway shows and Jimmy Choo celebrity placements generate extensive media coverage. Jimmy Choo is also the leading brand in editorial coverage for women’s luxury shoes globally.
We believe our renowned brand founders, as well as our high-profile brand ambassadors and well-known social media influencers across our marketing programs help expand brand awareness and drive cultural relevance.
In Fiscal 2025, we recognized approximately $363 million in advertising and marketing expenses globally. We engage in a wide range of integrated marketing programs across various marketing channels, including but not limited to email marketing, print advertising, outdoor advertising, digital marketing, social media, public relations outreach, visual merchandising and partnership marketing, in an effort to engage our existing and potential customer base and ultimately stimulate sales in a consumer-preferred shopping venue.
Our e-commerce businesses provide us with an opportunity to increase the size of our customer database and to communicate with our consumers to increase online and physical store sales, as well as to continue to build global brand awareness for our brands. We are continuously improving the functionalities and features on our e-commerce sites to create innovative ways to keep our brands at the forefront of consumers’ minds by offering a broad selection of products, including accessories, apparel and footwear. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “If we are unable to effectively execute our e-commerce business and provide a reliable digital experience for our customers, our reputation and operating results may be harmed.”
Manufacturing and Sourcing
We generally contract for the purchase of finished goods principally with independent third-party manufacturing contractors, whereby the manufacturing contractor is generally responsible for the entire manufacturing process, including the purchase of piece goods and trim for our Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands. For the Versace brand, some of the piece goods and trim are separately purchased by Versace and provided to the manufacturers, and some are sourced directly by the manufacturers, as further described below.
Versace has a centrally managed production model for the majority of its products, and buys raw materials and components for these products. All raw materials arrive in a central warehouse in Novara, Italy and are distributed to independent third-party manufacturing contractors after the quality control process is complete. The vast majority of Versace’s production is located in Italy. The remaining production occurs elsewhere in Europe and a small portion is produced in Asia or North Africa.
Jimmy Choo products are manufactured by our owned Italian ateliers and shoe manufacturers as well as by independent third-party manufacturing contractors. Most of Jimmy Choo’s products are produced by specialists in Italy, supported by other factories across Europe, with a small portion produced in Asia. Jimmy Choo has a product development facility in Florence. In addition to purchasing finished goods, Jimmy Choo also purchases raw materials for both product development and manufacturing purposes.
Michael Kors contracts for the purchase of finished goods principally with independent third-party manufacturing contractors that are generally responsible for the entire manufacturing process, including the purchase of piece goods and trim. Product manufacturing for the Michael Kors brand is allocated among third-party manufacturing contractors based on their capabilities, the availability of production capacity, pricing and delivery. For certain product categories, Michael Kors also has relationships with various agents who source finished goods with numerous manufacturing contractors on its behalf. This multi-supplier strategy provides specialized skills, scalability, flexibility and speed to market, as well as diversifies risk. In Fiscal 2025, one third-party buying agent sourced approximately 15% of Michael Kors finished goods purchases, based on dollar volume. Michael Kors’ largest manufacturing contractor, who produces its products in Asia and who Michael Kors has worked with for approximately 20 years, accounted for the production of approximately 11% of its finished products, based on dollar volume in Fiscal 2025. Nearly all of our Michael Kors products were produced in Asia in Fiscal 2025.
The manufacturing contractors for our brands operate under the close supervision of our global production team and buying agents located in North America, Europe and Asia. All products are produced according to our specifications. Production staff monitors manufacturing at supplier facilities in order to correct problems prior to shipment of the final product. Quality assurance is focused on as early as possible in the production process, allowing merchandise to be received at the distribution facilities and shipped to customers with minimal interruption. See “Import Restrictions and Other Governmental Regulations” and Item 1A. Risk Factors - “We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods, which poses legal, regulatory, political and economic risks to our business operations.”
We own two luxury footwear manufacturing facilities in Italy to support all of our brands, pursuing manufacturing synergies across brands and securing capacity and improving our expertise in development and delivery. While the fashion design process will remain independently managed by each of our brands, we believe that in-sourcing luxury manufacturing capacity will create synergies and support expansion for our global fashion luxury group.
Distribution
Versace owns a central warehouse in Novara, Italy, managed by a third-party, which acts as a global hub for Versace’s primary operations. Versace also has a leased warehouse near Novara operated by the same third-party, which serves as a distribution point for other Versace lines. From these warehouses, products are shipped to regional warehouses that are operated by third-parties in the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Mainland China and Japan, and supports the Versace retail and e-commerce businesses. E-commerce distribution for the United States market is conducted through a third-party provider in New Jersey. Versace’s wholesale business is mainly serviced from three central warehouses located in Italy and the United States.
Jimmy Choo’s primary distribution facility is our Company-owned and operated distribution facility in the Netherlands. From there, products are shipped to regional warehouses in the United States, Canada, Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and United Arab Emirates, largely supporting the Jimmy Choo retail and e-commerce businesses. Shipments to wholesale customers globally are made from the Netherlands and the United States, with some further local fulfillment. All of the distribution facilities utilized by Jimmy Choo are operated by third-parties and are shared with other unaffiliated businesses with the exception of our distribution facility in the Netherlands. This flexible method reinforces the speed and efficiency of the supply chain and allows the business to deliver Jimmy Choo product and collections to market rapidly and in line with the industry’s fashion calendar.
Michael Kors’ primary distribution facility in the United States is a leased facility in Whittier, California, which is directly operated and services our Michael Kors retail stores, e-commerce site and wholesale operations in the United States. We also engage in omni-channel order fulfillment by filling online orders through our Michael Kors retail stores and through our click-and-collect service offerings. Our primary Michael Kors distribution facility in Europe is our Company-owned and operated distribution facility in the Netherlands, which supports our European operations for our Michael Kors brand, including our European e-commerce sites. We also have a regional Michael Kors distribution center in Canada, which is leased, as well as regional Michael Kors distribution centers in the United States, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, which are operated by third-parties.
Intellectual Property
We own VERSACE, JIMMY CHOO and MICHAEL KORS trademarks, as well as other material trademarks, copyrights, design and patent rights related to the production, marketing and distribution of our products, both in the United States and in other countries in which our products are principally sold. We also have applications pending for a variety of related trademarks, copyrights, designs and patents in various countries throughout the world. As the worldwide usage of our material trademarks, copyrights, designs and patents continue to expand, we continue to strategically apply to register them in
key countries where they are used. We expect that our material intellectual property will remain in full force and effect for as long as we continue to use and renew them.
We aggressively police our intellectual property and pursue infringers both domestically and internationally. In addition, we pursue counterfeiters in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and elsewhere in the world in both online and offline channels, working with a network of customs authorities, law enforcement, legal representatives and brand specialists around the world as well as involvement with industry associations and anti-counterfeiting organizations.
Information Systems
Each of our three brands currently operate using certain legacy systems for finance and accounting, supply chain, inventory control, point-of-sale transactions, store replenishment and other functions. Our long-term strategy includes consolidating certain systems across our brands over time to create operational efficiencies. We are currently undertaking a major, multi-year ERP implementation to upgrade our information technology platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over several years. We have launched the finance functionality of the ERP system in certain regions starting in Fiscal 2023 which has continued in Fiscal 2025. 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.”
Human Capital Management
At Capri, we strive to create workplaces where our employees and the workers across our supply chain thrive. Through our benefits and compensation packages, learning and development programs, focus on community, employee engagement, wellness and safety programs and supply chain empowerment initiatives, we continue to make significant investments in our Capri community.
Governance and Oversight. Our Board of Directors has delegated oversight of matters relating to human capital management, including compensation and leadership and talent development to our Compensation and Talent Committee. Our Compensation and Talent Committee receives regular updates on our talent development strategies and other applicable areas of human capital management.
Employee Profile. At the end of Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately 14,200, 15,100 and 15,500 total employees, respectively. As of March 29, 2025, we had approximately 9,700 full-time employees and approximately 4,500 part-time employees. Approximately 10,200 of our employees were engaged in retail selling and administrative positions and our remaining employees were engaged in other aspects of our business as of March 29, 2025. As of March 29, 2025, we have approximately 3,100 employees covered by collective bargaining agreements in certain European countries. We consider our relations with both our union and non-union employees to be good.
Benefits and Compensation. We maintain comprehensive benefit and compensation packages to attract, retain and recognize our employees. Our health and welfare benefit program is designed to provide a wide range of benefits to meet the health care, financial, work/life and mental well-being needs of eligible employees. Benefits include, among others, medical, dental and vision plans, life insurance, short and long-term disability coverage, retirement plans (with matching contributions where applicable), paid parental leave for all parents, gender reassignment coverage and fertility support benefits in the United States, and a wellness program focused on employees’ physical, emotional, financial and social wellness, including several digital therapeutic programs to assist with physical therapy, behavioral health therapy, anxiety and worry and sleep. We also offer employees paid time off, including time off to volunteer with eligible charitable organizations. Employees are also entitled to discounts on our merchandise.
Learning and Development. We honor our employees through our dedication to development and believe that enabling opportunity means ensuring our teams have the skills they need to build fulfilling careers with us. We promote employee performance with personalized development plans and by providing individualized feedback at regular intervals throughout the year, and all employees participate in a formal performance review process annually. We continue to refresh our learning and development programming by offering targeted skill-building for employees at all stages of their careers. During Fiscal 2025, we continued to offer quality training touchpoints to employees throughout our global organization, including programs around compliance, ethics and integrity, promoting respect in the workplace, global cybersecurity practices, and supply chain transparency. We also have development programs for new people managers and mid-level leaders aimed at enhancing interpersonal skills and leadership capabilities.
Diversity and Inclusion. We foster an inclusive environment where employees, vendors and customers of different backgrounds are respected, valued and celebrated.
Our commitment is supported by three pillars:
Capri Culture - We are creating an inclusive space where our employees are valued, respected and empowered to contribute in a meaningful way.
Capri Talent - Differences in ideas and experiences allow our Company to thrive. We are attracting, advancing and advocating for a workforce that reflects the world around us.
Capri Community - Our responsibility to champion inclusion is not just to those who work with us, but to our industry, the customers we serve and the communities around us.
We have a number of employee resource groups (“ERGs”) to foster community, drive awareness of identity and intersectionality across our workforce and we utilize global listening sessions, regular communications and keynote speakers to further embed inclusion in our workplace. We are committed to recruiting, developing and retaining passionate and skilled talent that reflect the communities we serve. During the fiscal year, we continued to roll out our global training program guides and mentorship programs, which include a reverse mentorship component, across the globe to encourage access, belonging and allyship.
Through The Capri Holdings Foundation for the Advancement of Diversity in Fashion, we are also working collaboratively with educational institutions to create meaningful opportunities in the fashion industry for historically underrepresented communities. We established two additional partnerships in Fiscal 2025 with The New School’s Parsons School of Design and The Heritage Crafts Association. These programs are not just designed to ease students’ financial pressures but are part of a larger effort to help remove systemic roadblocks and increase opportunities within the fashion industry through scholarship support, mentorship and hands-on experiences with current industry professionals.
Employee Engagement. Enhancing our employee experience has always been an integral part of our strategy. We are honored to have received recognitions of our inclusive culture and community throughout the fiscal year, including: certification in 2024 as Best Workplace for Development ™ in the UK by Michael Kors; being named to the Parity.Org 2024 Best Companies for Equal Advancement Opportunity; and being listed in Seramount’s Best Companies for Multicultural Women List.
Workplace Safety. Everyone working on behalf of our Company is entitled to work in a safe environment while maintaining their health and well being. Our commitment to health and safety is founded on a number of guiding principles described in our Occupational Health and Safety Policy, which is published on our corporate website, and is bolstered by weekly safety informational newsletters for our distribution centers, monthly retail safety and security newsletters shared across our brands, and a robust health and safety training curriculum. Throughout the fiscal year, we also conducted health and safety audits, risk assessments and compliance mapping exercises, and continued to offer vital resources to our teams including medical and security assistance services for traveling employees.
Supply Chain Empowerment. Our community extends beyond our direct employees and our corporate social responsibility program drives us toward greater engagement with and support of supply chain workers in the global fashion industry. We are dedicated to conducting our operations throughout the world on principles of ethical business practice and recognition of the dignity of workers. Through our Code of Conduct for Business Partners and supply chain compliance program, we partner with our suppliers on important human rights, health and safety, environmental and compliance issues. In Fiscal 2025, we continued to support RISE: Reimagining Industry to Support Equality, a collaborative initiative to ensure women working in global supply chains experience greater dignity, equality, choice of opportunities and fulfillment of their rights. We also partnered with Empower Co., an organization working to build the first global voluntary market to measurably scale women’s empowerment.
Competition
We face intense competition in the product lines and markets in which we operate from both existing and new competitors. Our products compete with other branded products within their product category. In varying degrees, depending on the product category involved, we compete on the basis of style, price, customer service, quality, brand prestige and recognition, among others. In our wholesale business, we compete with numerous manufacturers, importers and distributors of products like ours for the limited space available for product display. Moreover, the general availability of manufacturing contractors allows new entrants easy access to the markets in which we compete, which may increase the number of our competitors and adversely affect our competitive position and our business. We believe, however, that we have significant competitive advantages because of the recognition of our brands and the acceptance of our brands by consumers. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, both within North America and internationally, and increased competition based on a number of factors could cause our profitability and/or gross margins to decline.”
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, and the lowest sales during our first fiscal quarter.
Import Restrictions and Other Governmental Regulations
Virtually all of our imported products are subject to duties which may impact the costs of such 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. In addition, retaliatory tariffs may be implemented by countries where our manufacturers are located and/or countries to which we ship our products may impose safeguard quotas to limit the quantity of products that may be imported. Where we can, we utilize free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives in order to maximize efficiencies and cost savings relating to product importation. 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.” Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including the United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) withhold release orders. 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. We are also subject to government regulations relating to product labeling, testing and safety. We maintain a global customs and product compliance organization to help manage our import and related regulatory risks and activities.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Our CSR strategy focuses on four foundational pillars:
•Our Governance - We believe responsible business practices start from the top, and we recognize the increasing importance of environmental, social and governance matters to our business and our stakeholders. Our sustainability governance model ensures our Board of Directors, executive team and brands are aligned on the most important sustainability risks and opportunities for Capri.
•Our World - We believe that the success of our Company is directly linked to the sustainability of the world around us. Our brands strive to create the highest quality luxury products with longevity and sustainability in mind. We endeavor to operate responsibly in order to lower our impact on the planet and to promote industry-wide environmental change.
•Our Community - We believe we have a responsibility to those who work with us. Our Company strives to create inclusive workplaces where all of our employees are empowered and respected. We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for our unique Capri community to grow.
•Our Philanthropy - Giving back is embedded in Capri’s culture. We remain steadfast in our commitment to support our philanthropic partners and to drive positive change in the communities where we live and work.
Within each of our four foundational pillars are key CSR focus areas that guide our work in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Board has delegated oversight of ESG activities to the Governance, Nominating and CSR Committee (the “Governance Committee”). On at least an annual basis, our sustainability goals and action plans are presented to the Governance Committee for review and approval, along with CSR progress updates which are generally presented quarterly. The full Board of Directors regularly receives ESG updates from the Governance Committee and reviews our annual CSR reporting. The Board’s Audit Committee also assesses ESG risks as part of its overall enterprise risk management review, and the Board’s Compensation and Talent Committee considers performance against individualized ESG goals in making executive compensation decisions. Our governance model embeds sustainability throughout our business and is supported by several working groups focused on driving social and philanthropic causes, our Company and brand foundations, and ERGs.
We are committed to conducting regular materiality assessments to ensure that we are focusing on the ESG topics of greatest importance to our stakeholders. We carried out our most recent group-wide materiality assessment in 2022, the results of which helped to reinforce our CSR strategy and inform our reporting. We are also undertaking a double materiality assessment to guide the next phase of our CSR journey and prepare us for the evolving ESG regulatory landscape. Beyond our formal materiality assessment process, we periodically collect stakeholder input and feedback to better understand the ESG issues most relevant to our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully read this entire report, including, without limitation, the following risk factors and the section of this annual report entitled “Special Note On Forward-Looking Statements.” Any of the following factors could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently view as immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Risks are listed in the categories where they primarily apply, but other categories may also apply.
Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions
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 have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
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.
Risks Related to Our Industry
We may not be able to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our brands, business, results of operations and financial condition.
The accessories, footwear and apparel industries have historically been subject to rapidly changing fashion trends and consumer preferences. We believe that our success is largely dependent on the images of our brands and our ability to anticipate and respond promptly to changing consumer demands and fashion trends in the design, styling, sustainable production, merchandising and pricing of products. Any misstep in product quality or design, executive leadership, customer services, unfavorable publicity or excessive product discounting could negatively affect the image or our brands with our customers. If we do not correctly gauge consumer needs and fashion trends and respond appropriately, consumers may not purchase our products and our brand names and the images of our brands may be impaired. Even if we react appropriately to changes in fashion trends and consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brands to be outdated or associate our brands with styles that are no longer popular or trend-setting. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our brands, business, results of operations and financial condition.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, both within North America and internationally, and increased competition based on a number of factors could cause our profitability and/or gross margins to decline.
Our brands face intense competition from other accessories, footwear and apparel producers and retailers, including, primarily European and American international luxury brands. In addition, we face competition through third-party distribution channels that sell our merchandise, such as e-commerce, department stores and specialty stores. Competition is based on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:
•anticipating and responding to changing consumer demands in a timely manner;
•establishing and maintaining favorable brand name recognition;
•determining and maintaining product quality;
•retaining key employees;
•maintaining and growing market share;
•developing quality and differentiated products that appeal to consumers;
•establishing and maintaining acceptable relationships with retail customers;
•pricing products appropriately;
•providing appropriate service and support to retailers;
•optimizing retail and supply chain capabilities;
•determining the size and location of retail and department store selling space; and
•protecting intellectual property.
In addition, some of our competitors may be significantly larger and more diversified than us and may have significantly greater financial, technological, manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Their capabilities in these areas may enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the accessories, footwear and apparel industries (including as a result of recent inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors), compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and develop new products more quickly. The general availability of manufacturing contractors and agents also allows new entrants easy access to the markets in which we compete, which may increase the number of our competitors and adversely affect our competitive position and our business. Any increased competition, or our failure to adequately address any of these competitive factors, could result in reduced revenues, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
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.
Risks Related to Our Business
We face risks associated with operating globally.
We operate on a global basis, with approximately 49% of our total revenue from operations outside of the United States during Fiscal 2025. As a result, we are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including:
•political or civil unrest, including protests and other civil disruption;
•unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, including COVID-19 and any variants thereof;
•economic instability and unsettled regional and global conflicts (such as the current war in Ukraine), which may negatively affect consumer spending by foreign tourists and local consumers in the various regions where we operate;
•laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments (including sanctions and retaliatory actions by the United States, European Union and others);
•potential negative consequences from changes in taxation policies;
•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.
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 countries we face established competitors with significantly more operating experience in those locations.
We also sell our products at varying retail price points based on geographic location that yield different gross profit margins and we achieve different operating profit margins, depending on geographic region, due to a variety of factors including product mix, store size, occupancy costs, labor costs and retail pricing. Changes in any one or more of these factors could result in lower revenues, increased costs and negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ in
these countries and, as a result, sales of our product may not be successful, or the gross margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate.
There can be no assurance that any or all of these events will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
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.
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 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. In addition, retaliatory tariffs may be implemented by countries where our manufacturers are located and/or countries to which we ship our products may impose safeguard quotas to limit the quantity of products that may be imported. Where we can, we rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives in order to maximize efficiencies relating to product importation. 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 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. In addition, such tariffs or other trade restrictions could require us to incur significant costs or cause us to increase the price charged to consumers for our products, either of which could materially impact our revenue 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, results of operations and 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.
Our business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities, including disruptions or delays in manufacturing or shipments.
As a company engaged in sourcing on a global scale, we are subject to the risks inherent in such activities, including, but not limited to:
•pandemics, epidemics and health-related concerns, including related to COVID-19 or variants thereof;
•political or labor instability, labor shortages (stemming from labor disputes or otherwise), or increases in costs of labor or production in countries where manufacturing contractors and suppliers are located;
•labor disputes or strikes at the location of the source of our goods and/or at ports of entry;
•disruptions, delays or reductions in shipments, including port delays and congestion, and/or capacity constraints on transportation of goods or at our factories;
•significant increase in freight, shipping and other logistics costs, including as a result of disruptions at ports of entry;
•political or military conflict (such as the current war in Ukraine);
•heightened terrorism security concerns;
•a significant decrease in availability or an increase in the cost of raw materials, including sustainable materials, or other limitations on our ability to use raw materials or goods produced in a country that is a major provider due to political, human rights, labor, environmental or other concerns;
•the migration and development of manufacturing contractors;
•product quality issues;
•imposition of regulations, quotas and safeguards relating to imports and our ability to adjust in a timely manner to changes in trade regulations;
•increases in the costs of fuel (including volatility in the price of oil), travel and transportation (including vessel and freight);
•imposition of duties, taxes and other charges on imports;
•significant fluctuation of the value of the United States dollar against foreign currencies;
•restrictions on transfers of funds out of countries where our foreign licensees are located;
•compliance by our independent manufacturers and suppliers with our Supplier Code of Conduct and other applicable compliance policies;
•compliance with United States laws regarding the identification and reporting on the use of “conflict minerals” sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the Company’s products and the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Bribery Act and other global anti-corruption laws, as applicable; and
•regulation or prohibition of the transaction of business with specific individuals or entities and their affiliates or goods manufactured in certain regions, such as the listing of a person or entity as a SDN (Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons) by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the issuance of withhold release orders, or detentions of product, by CBP.
Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and, as a result, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The departure of key employees or our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on the services and management experience of executive officers who have substantial experience and expertise in our business as well as key employees involved in our design and marketing operations, including our creative officers for each of our brands. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers and other key employees, we may not be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future, which may be disruptive to, or cause uncertainty in, our business and future strategic direction, particularly if we fail to ensure a smooth transition and effective transfer of knowledge. Any such disruption or uncertainty could generate a negative public perception and/or have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our ordinary shares.
Competition for qualified personnel in the fashion industry is intense and turnover in the industry for retail associates is generally high. Competitors may use aggressive tactics to recruit our employees. Our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain employees is influenced by our ability to offer competitive compensation and benefits, employee morale, our reputation, recruitment by other employers, perceived internal opportunities, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and macro unemployment rates. Additionally, our ability to meet our labor needs while also controlling costs is subject to external factors such as unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation and overtime regulations. If we are unable to attract, develop, motivate and retain talented employees with the necessary skills and experience, or if changes to our organizational structure, operating results or business model adversely affect morale, hiring and/or retention, we may not achieve our objectives and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Our inability to execute on our standalone growth strategies or cost reduction measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The long-term growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our strategic initiatives. Our achievement of revenue and profitability growth will depend largely upon our ability to offer trendsetting and innovative products, increase brand engagement and optimize customer experience. We cannot assure you that we can execute successfully any of these actions or deliver growth and profitability for our brands. If we are unable to successfully execute our business strategies, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Achievement of our growth strategy may also require investment in new capabilities, distribution channels and technologies. These investments may result in short-term costs without accompanying near-term revenues and, therefore, may be dilutive to our earnings in the short term. There can be no assurance regarding the timing of or extent to which we will realize the anticipated benefits of these investments and other costs, if at all.
In addition, we previously announced, or may in the future announce, cost reduction measures designed to streamline the Company’s operating model, maximize efficiency and support long-term profitable growth. We may not achieve the desired cost savings from these initiatives which could impact our profitability.
If we are unable to effectively execute our e-commerce business strategy and provide a reliable digital experience for our customers, our reputation and operating results may be harmed.
E-commerce represents approximately 19% 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.
The success of our business also depends on our ability to continue to develop and maintain a reliable digital experience for our customers. We strive to give our customers a seamless omni-channel experience both in stores and through digital technologies, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets and other devices. We also use social media to interact with our customers and enhance their shopping experience. Our inability to develop and continuously improve our digital brand engagement could negatively affect our ability to compete with other brands, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
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 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.
Additionally, the success of our e-commerce business and the satisfaction of our consumers depend on their timely receipt of our products. The efficient flow of our products requires that our company-operated and third-party operated distribution facilities have adequate capacity to support the current level of e-commerce operations as well as any anticipated increased levels that may follow from the growth of our e-commerce business. Transportation shortages, labor shortages and port congestion as well as disruptions in factory production in certain countries where we source our products may delay inventory orders and impact product availability in our channels, including our e-commerce sites, which could result in customer dissatisfaction, and have an adverse effect on our business and harm our reputation.
Our business could suffer as a result of reductions in our wholesale channel and/or consolidations, liquidations, restructurings and other ownership changes by our wholesale partners.
We have experienced and may continue to experience a decline in sales in our wholesale channel. Reductions in the amount of merchandise purchased from us by our wholesale partners or an increase in order cancellations by our wholesale partners could further reduce our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our profitability. In addition, many of our wholesale customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties. These challenges could lead to the need to extend payment terms, larger outstanding accounts receivable balances, delays in collection of accounts receivable, increased expenses associated with collection efforts, increases in excess inventory, increases in credit losses and reduced cash flows.
The retail industry has also experienced a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes over the past several years and a number of wholesale accounts were forced to file bankruptcy or undergo restructurings. We expect that the risk of consolidation, bankruptcy, restructurings or reorganizations by department stores and other retailers will
continue to exist for the foreseeable future. This could result in store closings by our wholesale customers, which would decrease the number of stores carrying our products, while the remaining stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and/or may reduce the retail floor space designated for our brands. In addition, such consolidation, bankruptcy or other changes with respect to our wholesale customers could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of large wholesale customers and decrease our negotiating strength with our wholesale customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, certain of our wholesale customers, particularly those located in the United States, have become highly promotional and have aggressively marked down their merchandise. We expect that such markdowns may continue to be exacerbated because of the current macroeconomic environment. Such promotional activity could negatively impact our business.
Our retail stores are heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to travel and shop and a decline in consumer traffic could have a negative effect on our comparable store sales and store profitability resulting in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Reduced travel resulting from economic conditions (including a recession or inflationary pressures), fuel shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, disease pandemics (including 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) could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly if such events impact our customers’ desire to travel to our retail stores.
In addition, other factors that could impact consumer traffic at our retail stores include: (i) the location of the mall or the location of a particular store within the mall; (ii) the other tenants occupying space at the mall; (iii) vacancies or extended store closures within the mall; (iv) increased competition in areas where the malls are located; (v) the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the malls; and (vi) a shift toward online shopping. A decline in consumer traffic could have a negative effect on our comparable store sales and/or average sales per square foot and store profitability. If our retail stores underperform due to declining consumer traffic or otherwise and our expected future cash flows of the related underlying retail store asset do not exceed such asset’s carrying value, we may incur store impairment charges. A decline in future comparable store sales and/or store profitability or failure to meet market expectations or the occurrence of impairment charges relating to our retail store fleet could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business may be subject to increased costs and a decline in profitability as a result of increasing pressure on margins if we misjudge the demand for our products.
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, 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. 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.
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.
If the carrying value of the reporting units for one or more of our brands exceeds the related fair value, we are required to record impairment charges for the difference, and those impairment charges could be significant. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company 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 the Company’s brands. As a result of the Company’s impairment assessment, the Company recorded $671 million of impairment charges, related to our Jimmy Choo and Versace goodwill and intangible assets during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. It is
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.
Our current and future licensing and joint venture arrangements may not be successful and may make us susceptible to the actions of third-parties over whom we have limited control.
We have entered into a select number of product licensing agreements with companies that produce and sell, under our trademarks, products requiring specialized expertise. We have also entered into a number of select licensing agreements pursuant to which we have granted third-parties certain rights to distribute and sell our products in certain geographical areas and have a limited number of joint ventures. In the future, we may enter into additional licensing and/or joint venture arrangements. Although we take steps to carefully select our partners, such arrangements may not be successful. Our partners may fail to fulfill their obligations under these agreements or have interests that differ from or conflict with our own, such as the timing of new store openings, the pricing of our products and the offering of competitive products. In addition, the risks applicable to the business of our partners may be different than the risks applicable to our business, including risks associated with each such partner’s ability to:
•obtain capital;
•exercise operational and financial control over its business;
•manage its labor relations;
•maintain relationships with suppliers;
•manage its credit and bankruptcy risks; and
•maintain customer relationships.
If a licensee of one of our brands were to experience liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties, we may experience larger outstanding accounts receivable balances, delays in collection of accounts receivable, increased expenses associated with collection efforts, and/or a reduction in royalty or similar revenue. In addition, we may be unable to replace any lost licensing agreements on similar economic terms or at all, or we could be delayed in identifying a replacement licensee, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The geographic areas subject to our licensing and joint venture agreements could also be impacted by geopolitical risks. Any of the foregoing risks, or the inability of any of our partners to successfully market our products or otherwise conduct its business, may result in loss of revenue and competitive harm to our operations in regions or product categories where we have entered into such licensing arrangements.
We rely on our partners to preserve the value of our brands. Although we attempt to protect our brands through, among other things, approval rights over store location and design, product design, production quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion of our stores and products, we may not be able to control the use by our partners of our intellectual property and branding. The misuse of our brand by a licensing or joint venture partner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks associated with leasing retail space subject to long-term and non-cancelable leases. We may be unable to renew leases at the end of their terms. If we close a leased retail space, we remain obligated under the applicable lease.
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, 2025, 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 billion through Fiscal 2030 and approximately $501 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.
In certain cases, as we have done in the past, we may determine that it is no longer economical to operate a retail store subject to a lease or we may seek to generally downsize, consolidate, reposition, relocate or close some of our real estate locations. In such cases, we may be required to negotiate a lease exit with the applicable landlord or remain obligated under the applicable lease for, among other things, payment of the base rent for the balance of the lease term. In some instances, we may be unable to close an underperforming retail store due to continuous operation clauses in our lease agreements. In addition, a significant portion of our leases may expire within a short time frame. As each of our leases expire, we may be unable to negotiate renewals, either on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which could cause us to close retail stores in desirable locations and/or may impact future revenue. Our inability to secure desirable retail space, favorable lease terms or to renew our leases could impact our ability to grow. Likewise, our obligation to continue making lease payments with respect to leases for closed retail spaces could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, due to the volatile economic environment, it may be difficult to determine the fair market value of real estate properties when we are deciding whether to enter into leases or renew expiring leases. This may impact our ability to manage the profitability of our store locations, or cause impairments of our operating lease right-of-use assets if market values decline, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We are dependent on a limited number of distribution facilities. If one or more of our distribution facilities experience operational difficulties or becomes inoperable, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We operate a limited number of distribution facilities. Our ability to meet the needs of our own retail stores and e-commerce sites, as well as our wholesale customers, depends on the proper and uninterrupted operation of these distribution facilities. If any of these distribution facilities were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason, we could suffer a substantial loss of inventory and/or disruptions of deliveries to our customers. In addition, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products during the time it takes to reopen or replace the damaged, inoperable or otherwise inaccessible facility. Any of the foregoing factors could result in decreased sales and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
To support the growth of our business, we also use third-party logistics centers that are responsible for distribution, warehousing and fulfillment services on our behalf. Significant disruptions at these facilities could have a material adverse impact on our business. Because our direct and third-party fulfillment centers include automated and computer-controlled equipment, they are susceptible to risks including power interruptions, hardware and system failures, software viruses, security breaches and other technological and operational disruptions and of which could cause shipping delays or otherwise adversely affect our business.
We are dependent on third-parties to perform certain outsourced functions.
We are increasingly looking for opportunities to cost effectively enhance the capability of business services, which includes outsourcing certain functions. While we believe we conduct appropriate due diligence before entering into agreements with these third-party service providers, the failure of any of these third-parties to provide the expected services, provide them on a timely basis or to provide them at the prices we expect could disrupt or harm our business. Any significant interruption in the operations of these outsource service providers, including as a result of changes in social, political, and economic conditions, and those resulting from military conflicts or other hostilities, that result in the disruptions of business where these outsource providers are located, could also have an adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, we may be unable to provide these services ourselves in the future or implement substitute arrangements on a timely and cost-effective basis on terms favorable to us.
Increases in the cost of raw materials could increase our production costs and cause our operating results and financial condition to suffer.
Our business is subject to volatility of costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products, including inflationary pressure. The costs of raw materials used in our products are affected by, among other things, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. We are not always successful in our efforts to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of raw materials and our business can be materially affected by dramatic movements in prices of raw materials which have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in increased pricing pressures and pressure on our margins. We may not be able to implement price increases that fully mitigate the impact of these higher costs and/or any such price increases could have an adverse impact on consumer demand for our products. Manufacturing labor costs are also subject to volatility based on local and global economic conditions. Increases in the cost of raw materials and/or manufacturing labor costs could increase our production costs and negatively impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.
We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods.
Our products are primarily produced by, and purchased or procured from, independent manufacturing contractors, and in some cases third-party sourcing agents, located mainly in Asia and Europe. A manufacturing contractor’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those items. The failure to make timely deliveries may cause customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We do not have long-term agreements with any of our third-party manufacturing contractors or third-party sourcing agents. As a result, any single manufacturing contractor or sourcing agent could unilaterally terminate its relationship with us at any time. Our inability to promptly replace manufacturing contractors or third-party sourcing agents that terminate their relationships with us or cease to provide high quality products in a timely and cost-efficient manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and impact the cost and availability of our goods.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
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 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. However, 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. 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. A 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of March 29, 2025, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $365 million in the fair value of these contracts.
In addition, because we operate retail stores and concessions in various countries outside of the United States, we are also exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. A substantial weakening of foreign currencies against the United States dollar could require us to raise our retail prices or reduce our profit margins in various locations outside of the United States. In addition, our sales and profitability could be negatively impacted if consumers in those markets were unwilling to purchase our products at increased prices.
Risks Related to Information Technology and Data Security
Privacy breaches and other cybersecurity risks related to our business could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business.
We are dependent on information technology (“IT”) systems and networks for a significant portion of our direct-to-consumer sales, including our e-commerce sites and retail business credit card transaction authorization and processing. We are responsible for storing data relating to our customers and employees and also rely on third-party vendors for the storage, processing and transmission of personal and Company information. Consumers, lawmakers and consumer advocates alike are increasingly concerned over the security of personal information transmitted over the Internet, consumer identity theft and privacy and the retail industry, in particular, has been the target of many recent cyber-attacks. In addition to taking the necessary precautions ourselves, we generally require that third-party service providers implement reasonable security measures to protect our employees’ and customers’ identity and privacy. We do not, however, control these third-party service providers and cannot guarantee the elimination of electronic or physical computer break-ins or security breaches in the future. Cybersecurity breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, security breaches due to employee error or misconduct, attacks by “hackers,” phishing scams, malicious software programs such as viruses and malware, and other breaches outside of our control, could result in unauthorized access or damage to our IT systems and the IT systems of our third-party service providers. Despite our efforts and the efforts of our third-party service providers to secure our and their IT systems, attacks on these systems do occur from time to time. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to IT systems become more varied and sophisticated (as cybercriminals are finding new ways to launch their attacks) and if the occurrence of such security breaches becomes more frequent, we and our third-party service providers may be unable to adequately anticipate these techniques and implement appropriate preventative measures. While we maintain cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for certain risks associated with cybersecurity incidents, there is no assurance that such insurance would cover all or a significant portion of the costs or consequences associated with a cybersecurity incident. A significant breach of customer, employee or Company data could damage our reputation, our relationship with customers and our brands, and could result in lost sales, sizable fines, significant breach-notifications and other costs and lawsuits, as well as adversely affect our results of operations.
Additionally, we may incur increased costs and experience a significant strain on our resources to account for the implementation of additional required security measures and technologies to protect personal data and confidential information or to comply with current and new state, federal and international laws governing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information which are continuously being enacted and proposed, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in the EU and the UK, various consumer privacy and data privacy and protection acts in the United States, including, but not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and similar comprehensive privacy laws of other states, as well as the Personal Information Protection Law in China.
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, and engaging third-party experts and consultants, and the unauthorized use of proprietary information may lead to lost revenues.
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.
We rely extensively on our IT systems to track inventory, manage our supply chain, record and process transactions, manage customer communications, summarize results and manage our business. The failure of our IT systems to operate properly or effectively, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or difficulty in or failure to implement new systems, could adversely affect our business. We also operate a number of e-commerce websites throughout the world. Our IT systems and e-commerce websites may be subject to damage and/or interruption from power outages, computer, network and telecommunications failures, malicious software, such as viruses and malware, attacks by “hackers”, security breaches, usage errors or misconduct by our employees and bad acts by our customers and website visitors which could materially adversely affect our business.
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.
Risks Related to Environmental, Social and Governance Issues
Increased scrutiny from investors and others regarding our corporate social responsibility initiatives, including environmental, social and other matters of significance relating to sustainability, and changing regulatory requirements around ESG could result in additional costs or risks and adversely impact our reputation.
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.
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. 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 is susceptible to the risks associated with climate change and other environmental impacts which could negatively affect our business and operations.
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, 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.
Risks Related to Tax, Legal and Regulatory Matters
Fluctuations in our tax obligations and changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our future effective tax rates and results of operations.
The Company and our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, with the applicable tax rates varying by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate is affected by the proportion of earnings from the various tax jurisdictions. We record tax expense based on our estimates of taxable income and required reserves for uncertain tax positions in multiple tax jurisdictions. At any time, there are multiple tax years that are subject to examinations by various taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may result in a settlement amount that differs from our original estimate. Any proposed or future changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations or interpretations where we operate could have a material adverse effect on our effective tax rates, results of operations and financial condition.
We and our subsidiaries are also engaged in a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s-length terms and that proper transfer pricing documentation is in place, the transfer prices and conditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities which could result in additional tax liabilities.
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. 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.
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 maintain a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets where future realization is uncertain, and our inability to fully utilize those assets in future periods may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
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 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.
If we fail to comply with labor laws or collective bargaining agreements, or if our independent manufacturing contractors fail to use acceptable, ethical business practices, our business and reputation could suffer.
We are subject to labor laws governing relationships with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions and citizenship requirements. We are also subject to collective bargaining agreements with respect to employees in certain European countries. Compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as collective bargaining agreements, may lead to increased costs and operational complexity and may increase our exposure to governmental investigations or litigation.
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 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.
We may be unable to protect our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, and others may allege that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights.
Our VERSACE, 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.
Our trademark and other intellectual property applications may fail to result in registered trademarks or other intellectual property or to provide the scope of coverage sought, and others may seek to invalidate our trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property or block sales of our products as an alleged violation of their trademarks and/or intellectual property rights. In addition, others may assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks, copyrights and/or other intellectual property rights of ours or in trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property that are similar to ours or that we license, and we may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, other intellectual property owners may have prior rights to our trademarks or similar trademarks or intellectual property. Furthermore, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect trademarks, copyrights and/or other intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or the European Union.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in opposition and cancellation proceedings with respect to trademarks or other intellectual property similar to some of our brands. Any litigation or dispute involving the scope or enforceability of our intellectual property rights or any allegation that we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others could be costly and time-consuming and, if determined adversely to us, could result in harm to our competitive position.
We self-insure certain risks and may be impacted by unfavorable claims experience.
We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs, including a wholly-owned captive insurance entity, to provide for the potential liabilities for certain risks including, employee health-care benefits, workers’ compensation, employer liability, general liability, marine transport and inventory, property damage, cyber risk and business interruption. Claims are difficult to predict and may be volatile. Any adverse claims experience could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims in the ordinary course of business which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are a global company and are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims throughout the world in the ordinary course of business. These claims could include commercial, intellectual property, employment, customer and data privacy claims, as well as class action lawsuits. Typically, these claims raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Plaintiffs may seek unspecified damages and/or injunctive or other equitable relief. Our potential liability may be covered in part by our insurance policies, but we may not always have adequate insurance to defend all claims. An unfavorable outcome in any proceeding, lawsuit, dispute or claim may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to shareholder litigation relating to the terminated Merger.
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.
Risks Related to Our Debt
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.
We may be unable to meet financial covenants in our indebtedness agreements which could result in an event of default and restrictive covenants in such agreements may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
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:
•incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
•pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;
•make loans and investments, including acquisitions;
•dispose of assets;
•incur liens;
•enter into transactions with affiliates; and
•consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets
which collectively may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the documents that govern our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. If such an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders under the 2025 Credit Facilities would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2025 Credit Facilities (which may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies) and exercising remedies against collateral. In the event our lenders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not be able to obtain sufficient cash to repay that indebtedness, and if the lenders enforce their security interest in the collateral, the collateral may be sold to recover the related debt.
If one or more of our counterparty financial institutions default on their obligations to us, we may incur significant losses or our financial liquidity could be adversely impacted.
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 million of borrowing capacity as of March 29, 2025. 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.
Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares
Our share price may periodically fluctuate based on forward-looking expectations regarding our financial performance.
Our business and long-range planning process is designed to maximize our long-term growth and profitability and not to achieve an earnings target in any particular fiscal quarter. We believe that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. On a quarterly basis, we provide investors with forward-looking earnings guidance. Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking expectations that have been previously provided by us, or predicted by outside investment analysts, or others, and our share price could be adversely affected. Similarly, any forward-looking guidance that gives effect to the sale of Versace is based on assumptions about future events and conditions which may not materialize as expected. Investors who rely on these outside predictions when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in our share price.
If we are unable to conduct share repurchases at expected levels, our share price could be adversely affected.
Despite having previously had a share repurchase program as a way to return value to its shareholders, the Company has not repurchased any of its ordinary shares since June 2023, and the Company does not currently have in place a share repurchase program. If we are unable to conduct share purchases at expected levels, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected.
Failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and cause a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.
As an SEC registrant, we are required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could have an adverse effect on our business and cause a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.
Rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under United States law, and, accordingly, our shareholders may have fewer protections.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles, the BVI Business Companies Act (Revised Edition 2020) (as amended) (the “BVI Act”) and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands and by the BVI Act. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a United States company.
The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide limited protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have limited or no recourse if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.
Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is limited statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Act dealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents of a British Virgin Islands company and are entitled to have the affairs of the Company conducted in accordance with the BVI Act and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company. As such, if those who control the Company have persistently disregarded the requirements of the BVI Act or the provisions of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, then the courts will likely grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following: (i) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (ii) acts that constitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the Company; (iii) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote; and (iv) acts where the Company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a special or extraordinary majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights afforded to minority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.
It may be difficult to enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in jurisdictions outside the United States.
Under our Memorandum and Articles, we may indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Furthermore, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees and any current or former shareholder will be governed exclusively by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and subject to the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands courts, unless those rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such.
Although there is doubt as to whether United States’ courts would enforce these provisions in an action brought in the United States under United States securities laws, these provisions could make judgments obtained outside of the British Virgin Islands more difficult to enforce against our assets in the British Virgin Islands or jurisdictions that would apply British Virgin Islands law.
British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of one avenue to protect their interests.
British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands’ company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of United States securities law or to impose liabilities, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of the United States securities laws that are penal in nature. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce the non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. This means that even if shareholders were to sue us successfully, they may not be able to recover anything to make up for the losses suffered.
Risks Related to the Divestiture
The pendency of the proposed sale of Versace or the failure to complete the proposed sale could adversely affect our business and the market price of our ordinary shares.
On April 10, 2025, Capri entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Prada S.p.A. whereby Prada has agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of Capri which operate Capri's Versace business. The announcement and pendency of the proposed sale of Versace could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers, vendors and employees, which could have a significant negative impact on our future revenues and results of operations, regardless of whether the sale is completed. In particular, we could potentially lose important personnel as a result of the departure of employees who decide to pursue other opportunities in light of the proposed sale. In addition, management and financial resources have been diverted and will continue to be diverted towards the completion of the sale, which could have a negative impact on our future revenues and/or results of operations.
We are also subject to restrictions, without the consent of Prada, on the conduct of the Versace business prior to the consummation of the sale as provided in the Purchase Agreement. These restrictions could potentially hinder Versace's ability to adapt to changing market conditions or take necessary actions to improve performance, and may otherwise have a significant negative impact on Versace's future revenues and/or results of operations.
There is also no assurance that the closing of the sale of Versace to Prada will occur. Consummation of the sale is subject to various conditions, including (a) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (b) regulatory approvals having been obtained in other specified jurisdictions outside of the United States, (c) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties as of the closing date, subject to materiality qualifications, (d) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Versace business and (e) each party’s performance of its covenants under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects. Prior to the closing, If the sale of Versace is not consummated, and there are no other parties willing and able to acquire Versace on acceptable to terms, our share price will likely decline. We have also incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed sale, as well as the diversion of management resources towards the sale, for which we will have received little or no benefit if the closing does not occur. A failed transaction may also result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Ordinary Course Litigation
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Litigation Related to Terminated Merger
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 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Our Business
Capri Holdings Limited is a global fashion luxury group consisting of iconic brands Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors. Our commitment to glamorous style and craftsmanship is at the heart of each of our luxury brands. We have built our reputation on designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories. Our strength lies in the unique DNA and heritage of each of our brands, the diversity and passion of our people and our dedication to the clients and communities we serve.
Our Versace brand has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading international fashion design houses and is synonymous with Italian glamour and style. Founded in 1978 in Milan, Versace is known for its iconic and unmistakable style and unparalleled craftsmanship. Over the past several decades, the House of Versace has grown globally from its roots in haute couture, expanding into the design, manufacturing, distribution and retailing of ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear, eyewear, watches, jewelry, fragrance and home furnishings. Until recently, Versace’s design team was led by Donatella Versace, who had been the brand’s Artistic Director for almost 30 years. Effective April 1, 2025, Dario Vitale became Versace’s Chief Creative Officer. Versace distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, which includes boutiques in some of the world’s most fashionable cities, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range, whose core product offering is women’s luxury shoes, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves and belts, as well as men’s luxury shoes and accessories. In addition, certain categories, including fragrance and eyewear, are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the brand since its inception in 1996. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, alongside innovative collections that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
Our Michael Kors brand was launched over 40 years ago by Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, ready-to-wear, and footwear company with a global distribution network that has presence in over 100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized luxury fashion brand in the Americas and Europe with growing brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors line and the Michael Kors Mens line. The Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by select retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering ready-to-wear and footwear. We have also been developing our men’s business in recognition of the significant opportunity afforded by the Michael Kors brand’s established fashion authority and the expanding men’s market. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.
Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger 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.
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.
Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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.
Segment Information
We operate in three reportable segments, which are as follows:
Versace
We generate revenue through the sale of Versace luxury accessories, ready-to-wear and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), certain parts of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (Asia and Oceania), as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of the Versace Jeans Couture product line, fragrances, watches, eyewear and home furnishings.
Jimmy Choo
We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through our e-commerce sites, as well as 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. In addition, revenue is generated 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.
Michael Kors
We generate revenue through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce, through which we sell our
products, as well as licensed products bearing our name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia. Our Michael Kors e-commerce business includes e-commerce sites in the United States, Canada, EMEA and Asia. We also sell Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and EMEA, to specialty stores and travel retail shops in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and to our geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and Brazil. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear, as well as through geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors tradename in connection with the retail and/or wholesale sales of our Michael Kors branded products in specific geographic regions.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
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 transaction related income (costs), 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 to the accompanying financial statements, our critical accounting policies are discussed below and include revenue recognition, inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, derivatives and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
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 million, $18 million and $22 million at March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, 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, and certain cooperative selling expenses. Total sales reserves for wholesale were $63 million, $61 million and $73 million at March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, 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.
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing our tradenames at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of our tradenames to sell our branded products in specific geographic regions.
Inventories
Our inventory costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties 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 both March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $45 million. 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.
Long-lived Assets
We evaluate all long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, we group long-lived assets at the lowest level of identifiable cash flow. Our leasehold improvements are typically amortized over the life of the store lease, including reasonably assured renewals and our shop-in-shops are amortized over a useful life of three to five years. Our impairment testing is based on our best estimate of the future operating cash flows. If the sum of our estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge, which is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair values determined by management require significant judgment and include certain assumptions regarding future sales and expense growth rates, discount rates and estimates of real estate market fair values. As such, these estimates may differ from actual results and are affected by future market and economic conditions.
During Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $136 million, $88 million and $36 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets of our retail store locations. Please refer to Note 8 and Note 14 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
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 acquisitions 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 brand and the Jimmy Choo brand are 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.
We may assess our goodwill and our brand indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill and our indefinite-lived intangible assets initially rather than using a qualitative approach.
The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. We use industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management and, in certain instances, we engage independent third-party valuation specialists for assistance. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, we use a combination of the income and market approaches, when applicable. We believe the blended use of both models, when applicable, compensates for the inherent risk associated with either model if used on a stand-alone basis, and this combination is indicative of the factors a market participant would consider when performing a similar valuation. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. These valuations are affected by certain estimates, including future revenue growth rates, future operating expense growth rates, gross margins, discount rates and market multiples. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and goodwill may be impaired.
When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of our brand intangible assets, the fair value of the Versace and the Jimmy Choo brands 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, based on a qualitative impairment assessment of the Michael Kors reporting units, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors reporting units exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, were not impaired. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the period ended March 29, 2025.
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 2024, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $192 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units, $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 statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. See Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements for information relating to the annual impairment analysis performed during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.
It is possible that our conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other indefinite 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 a future impairment charge of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
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
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
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.
Net Investment Hedges
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.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, we entered into additional fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $550 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. 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.
When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest income in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Accordingly, we recorded interest income of $117 million, $95 million and $38 million, respectively, during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.
The net gain or loss on net investment hedges are reported within CTA as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheets. Upon discontinuation of the hedge, such amounts remain in CTA until the related net investment is sold or liquidated.
Interest Rate Swaps
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, we entered into multiple interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of €800 million. The swaps were designed to mitigate the impact of adverse interest rate fluctuations for a portion of our variable rate debt. €500 million of the total interest rate swaps entered into relate to our Senior Revolving Credit Facility expiring July 2027. The remaining €300 million of the interest rate swaps entered into relate to our Versace Term Loan expiring December 2025. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, we terminated our interest rate swaps to coincide with our debt refinancing and paid $13 million. As of both March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements outstanding. See Note 12 for further detail on our debt refinancing.
When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest (income) expense, net, in the same period in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During Fiscal 2025, we recorded $1 million of interest income related to this agreement. As of March 30, 2024, we did not have interest income related to interest rate swap agreements as they were entered into during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Fair Value Hedges
We are exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which will impact earnings on a consolidated basis. To manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk related to these balances, we previously entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge our exposure in GBP denominated subsidiaries on Euro denominated intercompany loans. As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, there were no fair value hedges outstanding.
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, the fair value hedge will be recorded at fair value each period on our consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency loss on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, which will offset the earnings impact of the underlying transaction being hedged. If the fair value hedge is terminated and the underlying intercompany loans are settled, the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) remaining from the hedge at the time of termination will be reclassified to foreign currency loss on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, we settled its Euro denominated intercompany loan and recognized $14 million of foreign currency loss within our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income from AOCI. The Company recorded a foreign currency gain of $28 million in foreign currency loss within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2024 from the GBP Fair Value Hedge which offset translation losses from the underlying transaction.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities and are determined using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or our own estimates and judgments.
Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. We periodically review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and record valuation allowances as deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. This determination involves considerable judgment and our management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within various tax jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if our estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.
We recognize the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on our income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authorities. The effect of an uncertain income tax position will not be taken into account if the position has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Our tax positions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments to those positions. We record interest and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.

Total Revenue
Total revenue decreased $728 million, or 14.1%, to $4.442 billion for Fiscal 2025, compared to $5.170 billion for Fiscal 2024, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $32 million as a result of the strengthening of the United States dollar compared to all major currencies in which we operate. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue decreased $696 million, or 13.5%. The decrease is primarily attributable to an overall slowdown in demand for luxury fashion goods globally, as well as the result of certain strategic initiatives previously put in place at Versace and Michael Kors that did not perform as expected.

Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $513 million, or 15.4%, to $2.826 billion during Fiscal 2025, compared to $3.339 billion for Fiscal 2024, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $17 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased 100 basis points to 63.6% during Fiscal 2025, compared to 64.6% during Fiscal 2024. The 100 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to lower full price sell-throughs and unfavorable geographic revenue mix, partially offset by favorable channel mix of approximately 100 basis points.

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased 30 basis points to 70.0% during Fiscal 2025, compared to 70.3% during Fiscal 2024. The 30 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was attributable to lower full price sell-throughs substantially offset by favorable channel mix compared to the prior year.

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased 200 basis points to 66.9% during Fiscal 2025, compared to 68.9% during Fiscal 2024. The 200 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the unfavorable impact of the Sicla Acquisition on gross margin due to third party sales which typically carry lower manufacturer margins and lower full price sell-throughs compared to the prior year.
•Michael Kors gross profit decreased $343 million, or 15.7%, to $1.846 billion during Fiscal 2025, compared to $2.189 billion for Fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased 100 basis points to 61.2% during Fiscal 2025, compared to 62.2% during Fiscal 2024. The 100 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to lower full price sell-throughs and unfavorable geographic revenue mix partially offset by favorable channel mix of approximately 50 basis points.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $2 million, or 0.1%, to $3.578 billion during Fiscal 2025, compared to $3.580 billion for Fiscal 2024. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $18 million. Total operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 80.5% in Fiscal 2025, compared to 69.2% in Fiscal 2024. The components that comprise total operating expenses are detailed below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $203 million, or 7.3%, to $2.581 billion during Fiscal 2025, compared to $2.784 billion for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower marketing spend, lower retail store costs and decreased unallocated corporate expenses.
As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 58.1% during Fiscal 2025, compared to 53.8% for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to deleveraging of expenses on lower revenues.

•Versace selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $73 million, or 11.3%, to $571 million during Fiscal 2025, compared to $644 million for Fiscal 2024. This decrease was primarily due to lower marketing expense, particularly related to the timing of the fall fashion show, as well as a decrease in store related expenses and personnel expenses from cost savings initiatives compared to the prior year.
•Jimmy Choo selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1 million, or 0.3%, to $393 million during Fiscal 2025, compared to $394 million for Fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower marketing expenses partially offset by increased retail store costs compared to the prior year.
•Michael Kors selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $47 million, or 3.2%, to $1.426 billion during Fiscal 2025, compared to $1.473 billion for Fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel expenses from cost savings initiatives and retail store related costs.
Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, decreased $82 million, or 30.0%, to $191 million for Fiscal 2025,
compared to $273 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees and information technology costs related to certain Capri transformation projects which are now complete.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $5 million, or 2.7%, to $193 million during Fiscal 2025, compared to $188 million for Fiscal 2024. Depreciation and amortization increased to 4.3% as a percentage of total revenue during Fiscal 2025, compared to 3.6% for Fiscal 2024. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to information technology assets associated with Capri transformation projects which are now in service.
Impairment of Assets
During Fiscal 2025, we recognized asset impairment charges of $797 million, primarily related to the impairment of the Versace Retail and Wholesale and Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting units’ goodwill and Versace and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets as well as operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors store locations. During Fiscal 2024, we recognized asset impairment charges of approximately $575 million, primarily related to the impairment of the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units’ goodwill and Versace and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets as well as the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors store locations (see Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Restructuring and Other Expense
During Fiscal 2025, we recognized restructuring and other expense of $7 million, primarily related to severance and store closure costs, partially offset by gains on lease terminations. During Fiscal 2024, we recognized restructuring and other expense of $33 million, primarily relating to severance costs in connection with the Global Optimization Plan and equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace partially offset by a $10 million gain on the sale of a long-lived corporate asset (see Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Loss from Operations
As a result, loss from operations was $752 million during Fiscal 2025, compared to $241 million for Fiscal 2024. Loss from operations as a percentage of total revenue was 16.9% in Fiscal 2025, compared to 4.7% in Fiscal 2024.

•Versace recorded a loss from operations of $54 million for Fiscal 2025, compared to income of $25 million for Fiscal 2024. Operating margin decreased from 2.4% for Fiscal 2024, to an operating loss of 6.6% for Fiscal 2025, primarily due to deleveraging of operating expenses on lower revenues partially offset by lower marketing expenses compared to the prior year as noted above.
•Jimmy Choo recorded a loss from operations of $17 million for Fiscal 2025, compared to income of $3 million for Fiscal 2024. Operating margin decreased from 0.5% for Fiscal 2024, to an operating loss of 2.8% for Fiscal 2025, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the Sicla Acquisition on gross margin due to third party sales which typically carry lower manufacturer margins and increased retail store costs compared to the prior year as noted above.
•Michael Kors recorded income from operations of $341 million for Fiscal 2025, compared to $634 million for Fiscal 2024. Operating margin decreased from 18.0% for Fiscal 2024, to 11.3% for Fiscal 2025, due to lower full price sell-throughs as well as the deleveraging of operating expenses on lower revenues compared to the prior year as noted above.
Other Expense (Income), net
We recognized $8 million of other expense during Fiscal 2025 compared to $1 million of other income during Fiscal 2024. The $8 million of other expense recognized during Fiscal 2025 related to non-income taxes associated with certain legal entity restructuring activities.
Interest (Income) Expense, net
We recognized $37 million of interest income during Fiscal 2025 compared to $6 million of interest expense during Fiscal 2024. The $43 million improvement in interest (income) expense, net, is primarily due to higher interest income earned from our net investment hedges and lower average borrowings and effective interest rates on our outstanding debt (see Note 12 and Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency Loss
During Fiscal 2025, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $4 million primarily attributable to the remeasurement of intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries. During Fiscal 2024, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $37 million primarily attributable to the remeasurement of an intercompany loan associated with restructuring activities to rationalize certain legal entities within our structure and a loss related to the termination of a GBP fair value hedge.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
During Fiscal 2025, we recognized $452 million of an income tax provision on a pre-tax loss of $727 million compared with $54 million of income tax benefit on a pre-tax loss of $283 million for Fiscal 2024. Our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2025 compared to our effective tax rate in Fiscal 2024 is not a meaningful metric due to the increased pre-tax loss for Fiscal 2025. The income tax provision of $452 million was primarily related to the full valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets (see Note 18 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
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 our 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.
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in United States federal, state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Capri
As a result of the above, during Fiscal 2025 our net loss attributable to Capri was $1.182 billion, compared to $229 million for Fiscal 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, along with borrowings available under our credit facilities (see below discussion regarding “Revolving Credit Facilities”) and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund the ongoing cash requirements, including our working capital needs and capital investments in our business, debt repayments, acquisitions, returns of capital, including share repurchases and other corporate activities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities and available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months and beyond, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our store opening and renovation plans, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued IT system development, e-commerce and marketing initiatives. We spent $128 million on capital expenditures during Fiscal 2025 and expect to spend approximately $110 million during Fiscal 2026. The majority of the Fiscal 2025 expenditures related to our retail operations (including e-commerce), enhancements to Information Technology systems and the Capri transformation program.
The Capri transformation program represents a multi-year, multi-project initiative extending through Fiscal 2026 intended to improve the operating effectiveness and efficiency of our organization by creating best in class shared platforms across our brands and by expanding our digital capabilities. These initiatives cover multiple aspects of our operations including supply chain, marketing, omni-channel customer experience, e-commerce, data analytics and IT infrastructure. During Fiscal 2024, some transformation projects were paused and we will re-assess this program, along with related timing, in Fiscal 2026.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $281 million during Fiscal 2025, as compared to $309 million for Fiscal 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments and stabilization of inventory levels, partially offset by timing of payments due to improved management of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable in the current year.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $309 million during Fiscal 2024, as compared to $771 million for Fiscal 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities were primarily attributable to a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments which includes significant transformation costs for projects which are largely complete. In addition, our net cash provided by operating activities benefited from lower inventory levels, partially offset by unfavorable decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash (Used In) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $53 million during Fiscal 2025, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $135 million during Fiscal 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in cash received from the settlement of net investment hedges of $30 million and lower capital expenditures of $61 million due to information technology assets associated with Capri transformation projects which are now in service, partially offset by $9 million of acquisition related payments compared to prior year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $135 million during Fiscal 2024, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $183 million during Fiscal 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities were primarily attributable to the lower settlement of net investment hedges of $355 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures of $37 million compared to prior year.
Cash (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $242 million during Fiscal 2025, as compared to $208 million during Fiscal 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities of $34 million was primarily attributable to higher net debt payments of $116 million and termination payments related to interest rate swaps of $13 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash used to repurchase our ordinary shares of $103 million compared to prior year.
Net cash used in financing activities was $208 million during Fiscal 2024, as compared to $776 million during Fiscal 2023. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $568 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares of $1.257 billion, offset by lower net debt borrowings of $689 million compared to prior year.

As of March 29, 2025, there were 17 financial institutions participating in the facility, with none maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 10%. We have no reason to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Credit Facilities.
See Note 12 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for detailed information relating to our credit facilities and debt obligations.

On November 9, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-year share repurchase program to purchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. However, pursuant to the terms of the previously terminated Merger Agreement, and subject to certain limited exceptions, we were prohibited from repurchasing our ordinary shares other than the acceptance of our ordinary shares as payment of the exercise price of our options or for withholding taxes with respect of our equity awards. Accordingly, we did not repurchase any of our ordinary shares during the pendency of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program expired on November 9, 2024.

(1)Beginning in Fiscal 2026, we expect to be in a net interest income position, therefore, we would not expect to have interest obligations through the above periods.
Operating lease obligations represent equipment leases and the minimum lease rental payments due under non-cancelable operating leases for our real estate locations globally. In addition to the above amounts, we are typically required to pay real estate taxes, contingent rent based on sales volume and other occupancy costs relating to leased properties for our retail stores.
Interest, net represents the estimated net interest income from our net investment hedges and the estimated interest expense associated with our 2025 Credit Facilities based on their current interest rate.
Inventory purchase obligations represent contractual obligations for future purchases of inventory.
Other commitments include non-cancelable contractual obligations related to marketing and advertising agreements, information technology agreements and supply agreements.
The above table excludes current liabilities (other than short-term debt and short-term operating lease liabilities) recorded as of March 29, 2025, as these items will be paid within one year, and non-current liabilities that have no cash outflows associated with them (e.g., deferred taxes).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. In addition to the commitments in the above table, our off-balance sheet commitments relating to our outstanding letters of credit were $24 million at March 29, 2025, including $23 million in letters of credit issued outside of the 2025 Credit Facilities. In addition, as of March 29, 2025, bank guarantees of approximately $46 million were supported by our various credit facilities. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in interest rates. In order to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations, which include entering into foreign currency forward contracts, net investment hedges, fair value hedges and interest rate swaps. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiaries’ local currency relative to the currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that generally mature in 12 months or less and are consistent with the related purchase commitments to manage our exposure to the changes in the value of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability and are derivative contracts to hedge cash flow risks. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, while certain of these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the majority of these contracts at the balance sheet date are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of goods sold or operating expenses, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward foreign currency exchange contracts were established.
We perform a sensitivity analysis on our forward currency contracts to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in the United States dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of March 29, 2025, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of March 29, 2025, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $5 million in the fair value of these contracts.
Net Investment Hedges
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 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. As of March 29, 2025, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $3.5 billion to hedge our net investment in CHF denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and CHF. Under the terms of these contracts, we will exchange the monthly and semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in CHF. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of March 29, 2025, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of March 29, 2025, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $365 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between July 2025 and October 2030.
As of March 29, 2025, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.364 billion to hedge our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Euro. Under the terms of these contracts, we will exchange the monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of March 29, 2025, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of March 29, 2025, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $230 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and July 2031.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, USD Term Loans and EUR Term Loans. Our 2022 Credit Facility and USD Term Loans carries interest rates that are tied to the prime rate and other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular origination of borrowing), as further described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our EUR Term Loans carries interest rates that are tied to EURIBOR. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Our China Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark lending rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Our uncommitted Versace Credit Facilities carry interest at rates set by the banks on the date of borrowing that is tied to the European Central Bank. Therefore, our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At March 29, 2025, we had $755 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, $706 million, outstanding, net of
debt issuance costs, under our 2025 Term Loans and no borrowings outstanding under all other Credit Facilities, as further described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
At March 30, 2024, we had $764 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, $485 million, outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, under our Versace Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under all other Credit Facilities.
These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under our credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense relative to any outstanding balance at that date.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15(d) - 15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 29, 2025. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 29, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 (f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance (A) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (B) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2025. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), the 2013 Framework. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of March 29, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2025, as well as the consolidated financial statements, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 29, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently undertaking a major, multi-year ERP implementation to upgrade our information technology platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over several years. We have launched the finance functionality of the ERP system in certain regions starting in Fiscal 2023 which has continued in Fiscal 2025.
As a result of this multi-year implementation, we expect certain changes to our processes and procedures, which in turn, could result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. While we expect this implementation to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal control over financial reporting as processes and procedures in the affected areas evolve. 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.”

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 9B. Other Information
Global Optimization Plan
As previously announced during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Global Optimization Plan in order to streamline the Company’s operating model, maximize efficiency and support long-term profitable growth. This Item 9B is being filed solely to update prior disclosures in order to provide the amount of any material charges relating to the Global Optimization Plan by major type of cost that the Company believes are now determinable.
During the three and twelve months ended March 29, 2025, the Company closed 40 and 83, respectively, of its retail stores which have been incorporated into the Global Optimization Plan. Net restructuring expense recorded in connection with the Global Optimization Plan was $7 million during both the three and twelve months ended March 29, 2025, respectively, primarily related to severance and store closure costs, partially offset by gains on lease terminations.
The exact amounts or range of amounts and timing of the Global Optimization Plan charges and future cash expenditures associated therewith are undeterminable at this time; however, the Company continues to evaluate its store fleet for further optimization and store closures in addition to the previously announced plan. The Company will either disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K or disclose in another periodic filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the amount of any material charges relating to the Global Optimization Plan by major type of cost once such amounts or range of amounts are determinable.
This disclosure is intended to satisfy the requirements of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
During the quarterly period ended March 29, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
