NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 13, 2002. The Company is a holding company that owns brands that are leading designers, marketers, distributors and retailers of branded women’s and men’s accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear bearing the Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors tradenames and related trademarks and logos. The Company operates in three reportable segments: Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors. See Note 16 for additional information.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2022 and for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 are unaudited. The Company consolidates the results of its Versace business on a one-month lag, as consistent with prior periods. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 2, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2022, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company utilizes a 52- to 53-week fiscal year and the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to that 52- or 53-week period. The results for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 are based on 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively. The Company’s Fiscal Year 2023 is a 52-week period ending April 1, 2023.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, sales discounts, credit losses, estimates of inventory net realizable value, the valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of deferred taxes, goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment, along with the estimated useful lives assigned to these assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Seasonality

The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during its first fiscal quarter.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 are credit card receivables of $25 million and $18 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.

A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):


	October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022
Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents	$	215	$	169
Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets	4		3
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	219	$	172

Inventories, net

Inventories primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process inventory. The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory, net, recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $39 million and $31 million as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these contracts to hedge the Company’s 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 the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.

The Company designates 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 (loss) 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 (loss) income are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses 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 (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.

The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters 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

The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollars and the associated foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, and has 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 (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense (income), net, in the Company’s

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.

Leases

The Company leases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual rent and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through September 2026. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores from previous restructuring activities. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.

The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the leases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company generally does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of non-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, material restrictions or covenants.

The following table presents the Company’s supplemental cash flow information related to leases (in millions):

Net Income per Share

The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”), were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securities are included in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are included as diluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The components of the calculation of basic net income per ordinary share and diluted net income per ordinary share are as follows (in millions, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021		October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021

Diluted net income per share (1)	$	1.63	$	1.30	$	3.03	$	2.71

(1)Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated using unrounded numbers.

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, share equivalents of 794,933 shares and 726,136 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the above calculations due to their anti-dilutive effect. Share equivalents of 415,331 shares and 513,088 shares have been excluded from the above calculations for the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and in January 2021, issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope”. Both of these updates aim to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. These updates provide optional expedients and exceptions, if certain criteria are met, for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendments were effective upon issuance and allowed companies to adopt the amendments on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.

Supplier Finance Programs

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” which makes a number of changes. The amendments require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company's disclosures.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectibility of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services.

The Company sells its products through three primary channels of distribution: retail, wholesale and licensing. Within the retail and wholesale channels, substantially all of the Company’s revenues consist of sales of products that represent a single performance obligation, where control transfers at a point in time to the customer. For licensing arrangements, royalty and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on access provided to the Company’s trademarks.

Retail

The Company generates sales through directly operated stores and e-commerce sites throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), certain parts of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (Asia and Oceania).

Gift Cards. The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed for merchandise, resulting in a contract liability upon issuance. Revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed or upon “breakage” for the estimated portion of gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed. “Breakage” revenue is calculated under the proportional redemption methodology, which considers the historical patterns of redemption in jurisdictions where the Company is not required to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards as unclaimed property. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage”, of $14 million and $13 million as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively, is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Loyalty Program. The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors United States customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed.

Wholesale

The Company’s products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Company also has arrangements where its products are sold to geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and South America.

Licensing

The Company provides its third-party licensees with the right to access its Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors trademarks under product and geographic licensing arrangements. Under geographic licensing arrangements, third party

licensees receive the right to distribute and sell products bearing the Company’s trademarks in retail and/or wholesale channels within certain geographical areas, including Brazil, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South Africa and certain parts of Asia.

The Company recognizes royalty revenue and advertising contributions based on the percentage of sales made by the licensees. Generally, the Company’s guaranteed minimum royalty amounts due from licensees relate to contractual periods that do not exceed 12 months, however, certain guaranteed minimums for Versace are multi-year based.

As of October 1, 2022, contractually guaranteed minimum fees from the Company’s license agreements expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows (in millions):

Receivables are presented net of allowances for discounts, markdowns, operational chargebacks and credit losses. Discounts are based on open invoices where trade discounts have been extended to customers. Markdowns are based on wholesale customers’ sales performance, seasonal negotiations with customers, historical deduction trends and an evaluation of current market conditions. Operational chargebacks are based on deductions taken by customers, net of expected recoveries. Such provisions, and related recoveries, are reflected in revenues.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses is determined through analysis of periodic aging of receivables and assessments of collectibility based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and the impact of general economic conditions. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Amounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when it is probable the amounts will not be recovered. Allowance for credit losses was $9 million and $10 million as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. The Company had credit losses of $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively.

On July 1, 2022, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Facility”) with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which refinanced its existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company, a Canadian subsidiary of the Company, a Dutch subsidiary of the Company and a Swiss subsidiary of the Company are the borrowers under the 2022 Credit Facility, and the borrowers and certain subsidiaries of the Company provide unsecured guaranties of the 2022 Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility replaced the third amended and restated senior unsecured credit facility, dated as of November 15, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Facility”).

The 2022 Credit Facility provides for a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also includes sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $125 million and swing line loans at the Administrative Agent’s discretion of up to $100 million. The Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the 2022 Credit Facility in the form of increased revolving commitments or one or more tranches of term loans by up to an additional $500 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the following rates:

•For loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, (A) an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of (a) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (b) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate and zero, plus 50 basis points, and (c) the greater of term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 10 basis points and zero, plus 100 basis points, (B) the greater of term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus 10 basis points (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) and zero or (C) the greater of daily simple SOFR plus 10 basis points and zero;

•For loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the greater of Secured Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) and zero;

•For loans denominated in Swiss Francs, the greater of Swiss Average Rate Overnight (“SARON”) and zero;

•For loans denominated in Euro, the greater of Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) for the applicable interest period adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (“Adjusted EURIBOR Rate”) and zero;

•For loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the greater of the rate applicable to Canadian Dollar Canadian banker’s acceptances quoted on Reuters for the applicable interest period adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (“Adjusted CDOR Rate”) and zero; and

•For loans denominated in Japanese Yen, the greater of Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate (“TIBOR”) for the applicable interest period adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (“Adjusted TIBOR Rate”) and zero; in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings and/or net leverage ratio.

The 2022 Credit Facility provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 7.5 basis points to 17.5 basis points per annum, which was 15.0 basis points as of October 1, 2022. The fees are based on the Company’s public debt ratings and/or net leverage ratio, applied to the average daily unused amount of the 2022 Credit Facility.

Loans under the 2022 Credit Facility may be prepaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to loans bearing interest based upon Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted CDOR Rate and the Adjusted TIBOR Rate.

The 2022 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. Such net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of the sum of total indebtedness as of the date of the measurement plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations, minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents not to exceed $200 million, to Consolidated EBITDAR for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus provision for taxes based on income, profits or capital, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense and other non-cash losses, charge and expenses, subject to certain additions and deductions. The 2022 Credit Facility also includes covenants that limit additional indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, restricted payments and affiliate transactions.

The 2022 Credit Facility also contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2022 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and changes of control. If such an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility.

As of October 1, 2022, and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2022 Credit Facility.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $1.126 billion of borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company had $175 million of borrowings outstanding under revolver in the 2018 Credit Facility as of April 2, 2022. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $22 million and $21 million were outstanding as of both October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. At October 1, 2022, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility was $352 million. The amount available for future borrowings under the revolver in the 2018 Credit Facility was $804 million as of April 2, 2022.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company no longer had a term loan facility outstanding. As of April 2, 2022, the carrying value of term loan outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility was $495 million, which was recorded within long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had $7 million and $3 million of deferred financing fees related to Revolving Credit Facilities as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively, and are recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company offers a supplier financing program which enables suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations, including the amount due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by a suppliers’ decision to participate in this program. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur to participate in the program and their participation is voluntary. The amount outstanding under this program as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 was $14 million and $21 million, respectively, and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During Fiscal 2022, the Company's subsidiary, Versace, entered into an agreement with Banco BPM Banking Group (“the Bank”) to sell certain tax receivables to the Bank in exchange for cash. The arrangement was determined to be a financing arrangement as the de-recognition criteria for the receivables was not met at the time of the cash receipt from the Bank. As of October 1, 2022, the outstanding balance was $10 million, with $1 million and $9 million recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively. As of April 2, 2022, the outstanding balance was $18 million, with $8 million and $10 million recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

See Note 11 to the Company’s Fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s credit facilities and debt obligations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such claims cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

Please refer to the Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments disclosure within the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 for a detailed disclosure of other commitments and contractual obligations as of April 2, 2022.

11. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

At October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the fair values of the Company’s derivative contracts were determined using broker quotations, which were calculations derived from observable market information: the applicable currency rates at the balance sheet date and those forward rates particular to the contract at inception. The Company makes no adjustments to these broker obtained quotes or prices, but assesses the credit risk of the counterparty and would adjust the provided valuations for counterparty credit risk when appropriate. The fair values of the forward contracts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities to the Company. The fair value of net investment hedges is included in other assets, and in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities of the Company. See Note 12 for further detail.

All contracts are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as shown in the following table (in millions):


	Fair value at October 1, 2022 using:						Fair value at April 2, 2022 using:
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

The Company’s long-term debt obligations are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and based on other debt instruments with similar characteristics. Borrowings under revolving credit agreements, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. See Note 9 for detailed information related to carrying values of the Company’s outstanding debt. The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt, based on Level 2 measurements (in millions):


	October 1, 2022				April 2, 2022
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Senior Notes due 2024	$	448	$	429	$	448	$	451
Term Loan	$	—	$	—	$	495	$	490
Revolving Credit Facilities	$	1,126	$	1,126	$	175	$	175

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s non-financial assets include goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. Such assets are reported at their carrying values and are not subject to recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets (Versace and Jimmy Choo brands) are assessed for impairment at least annually, while its other long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The Company determines the fair values of these assets based on Level 3 measurements using the Company’s best estimates of the amount and timing of future discounted cash flows, based on historical experience, market conditions, current trends and performance expectations.

The Company recorded $11 million of impairment charges during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022. The Company recorded $33 million of impairment charges during the three and six months ended September 25, 2021. The following table details the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s assets that have been impaired during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and the three and six months ended September 25, 2021 (in millions):


	Three and Six Months Ended October 2, 2022						Three and Six Months Ended September 25, 2021

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of its transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to certain forecasted inventory purchases by using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company only enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-rated counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

Net Investment Hedges

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.094 billion to hedge its net investment, of which $900 million was in Euro denominated subsidiaries and $194 million was in Japanese Yen denominated subsidiaries. The modification of these swaps resulted in the Company receiving $66 million in cash during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.

As of July 2, 2022, the Company had multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $4 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries (the “Euro Net Investment Hedges”) and $194 million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen denominated subsidiaries (the “Japanese Yen Net Investment Hedges”). During the month of July 2022, the Euro Net Investment Hedges with aggregate notional amount of $4 billion outstanding as of July 2, 2022 were terminated resulting in the Company receiving $237 million in cash.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company also entered into, and subsequently terminated, additional Euro Net Investment Hedges with aggregate notional amount of $4 billion. The termination of these contracts resulted in the Company receiving additional $100 million in cash.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company modified certain Japanese Yen Net Investment Hedges with notional amounts of $100 million. The modification of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $6 million in cash during the second quarter of Fiscal 2023. The Company entered into additional Japanese Net Investment Hedges with notional amount of $100 million. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company received $343 million from termination of Euro Net Investment Hedges and modification of Japanese Yen Net Investment Hedges.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had Japanese Yen Net Investment Hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $294 million. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 2.665% in Japanese Yen. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2027 and February 2051 and are designated as net investment hedges. As of October 1, 2022, the Company did not have any notional amounts hedged in relation to its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries.

Certain of these contracts are supported by a credit support annex (“CSA”) which provides for collateral exchange with the earliest effective date being September 2027. If the outstanding position of a contract exceeds a certain threshold governed by the aforementioned CSA’s, either party is required to post cash collateral.

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 expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Company recorded interest income of $11 million and $28 million during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded interest expense of $15 million and $27 million during the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, respectively.

The following table details the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, which are recorded on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 (in millions):


					Fair Value
	Notional Amounts				Assets						Liabilities
	October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022		October 1, 2022			April 2, 2022			October 1, 2022			April 2, 2022

(1)Recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(2)Recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(3)Recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(4)Represents undesignated hedges of inventory purchases.

The Company records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, as shown in the previous table. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances for its derivative instruments on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting arrangements, which provide for the right to set-off amounts for similar transactions denominated in the same currencies, the resulting impact as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 would be as follows (in millions):


	Forward Currency Exchange Contracts				Net Investment Hedges
	October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022		October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022
Assets subject to master netting arrangements	$	10	$	8	$	2	$	44
Liabilities subject to master netting arrangements	$	—	$	—	$	11	$	37
Derivative assets, net	$	10	$	8	$	—	$	42
Derivative liabilities, net	$	—	$	—	$	9	$	35

Currently, the Company’s master netting arrangements do not require cash collateral to be pledged by the Company or its counterparties.

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated as accounting hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings when the items underlying the hedged transactions are recognized into earnings, as a component of cost of goods sold within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The net gain or loss on net investment hedges are reported within CTA as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon discontinuation of the hedge, such amounts remain in CTA until the related investment is sold or liquidated.

The following table summarizes the pre-tax impact of the gains on the Company’s designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021		October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021
	Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI
Designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	5	$	3	$	11	$	2
Designated net investment hedges	$	152	$	89	$	365	$	172

The following tables summarize the pre-tax impact of the gains and losses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income related to the designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 (in millions):

The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for its forward foreign currency exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months, based upon the timing of inventory purchases and turnover.

Undesignated Hedges

During the three months ended October 1, 2022, there was no gain recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, while during the six months ended October 1, 2022, a $2 million gain was recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a result of the changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, the net impact of changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income was immaterial.

13. Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company reinstated its $500 million share repurchase program, which was previously suspended during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the provisions of the Second Amendment of the 2018 Credit Facility. Subsequently, on November 3, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had terminated the Company’s existing $500 million share repurchase program (the “Prior Plan”), which had $250 million of availability remaining at the time, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Fiscal 2022 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares within a period of two years from the effective date of the program.

On June 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had terminated the Fiscal 2022 Plan, with $500 million of availability remaining, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Existing Share Repurchase Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares within a period of two years from the effective date of the program.

During the six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company purchased 13,183,355 shares for a total cost of approximately $650 million, including commissions, under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan. As of October 1, 2022, the remaining availability under the Company’s existing share repurchase program was $350 million.

Subsequent to October 1, 2022, the Company purchased 2,295,845 shares for a total cost of approximately $100 million, including commissions, under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. On November 9, 2022, the Company terminated the Existing Share Repurchase Plan and implemented a new share repurchase plan. See Note 17 for additional information.

During the six months ended September 25, 2021, the Company purchased 2,712,275 shares for a total cost of approximately $150 million, including commission, through open market transactions under the Prior Plan.

The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During the six month periods ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, the Company withheld 273,197 shares and 193,322 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $13 million and $10 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

The following table details changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”), net of taxes, for the six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively (in millions):


	Foreign Currency Adjustments (1)		Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives (2)		Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to Capri
Balance at April 2, 2022	$	184	$	10	$	194
Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications	(232)		10		(222)
Less: amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings	—		7		7
Other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax	(232)		3		(229)
Balance at October 1, 2022	$	(48)	$	13	$	(35)

Balance at March 27, 2021	$	57	$	(1)	$	56
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications	114		2		116
Less: amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings	—		(2)		(2)
Other comprehensive income, net of tax	114		4		118
Balance at September 25, 2021	$	171	$	3	$	174

(1)Foreign currency translation adjustments for the six months ended October 1, 2022 primarily include a net $486 million translation loss partially offset by a $247 million gain, net of taxes of $118 million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges. Foreign currency translation adjustments for the six months ended September 25, 2021 primarily include a $132 million gain, net of taxes of $40 million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges, partially offset by a net $23 million translation loss.

(2)Reclassified amounts primarily relate to the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts for inventory purchases and are recorded within cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. All tax effects were not material for the periods presented.

14. Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants equity awards to certain employees and directors of the Company at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation and Talent Committee. The Company has two equity plans, one stock option plan adopted in Fiscal 2008 (as amended and restated, the “2008 Plan”), and the Omnibus Incentive Plan adopted in the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012 and amended and restated with shareholder approval in May 2015, and again in June 2020 (the “Incentive Plan”). The 2008 Plan only provided for grants of share options and was authorized to issue up to 23,980,823 ordinary shares. As of October 1, 2022, there were no shares available to grant equity awards under the 2008 Plan.

The Incentive Plan allows for grants of share options, restricted shares and RSUs, and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to 22,471,000 ordinary shares after amendments in August 2022. At October 1, 2022, there were 6,434,269 ordinary shares available for future grants of equity awards under the Incentive Plan. Option grants issued from the 2008 Plan generally expire ten years from the date of the grant, and those issued under the Incentive Plan generally expire seven years from the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity during the six months ended October 1, 2022:


	Options	Service-Based RSUs	Performance-Based RSUs
Outstanding/Unvested at April 2, 2022	355,448	3,827,700	210,192
Granted	—	1,460,892	152,921
Exercised/Vested	(120,873)	(1,452,988)	(197,874)

Canceled/Forfeited	(4,900)	(355,943)	—
Outstanding/Unvested at October 1, 2022	229,675	3,479,661	165,239

The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based and performance-based RSUs granted during the six months ended October 1, 2022 was $49.80 and $47.41, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based RSUs granted during the six months ended September 25, 2021 was $51.64.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes compensation expense attributable to share-based compensation for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021		October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021
Share-based compensation expense	$	16	$	20	$	44	$	56
Tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense	$	2	$	4	$	7	$	11

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. The estimated value of future forfeitures for equity grants as of October 1, 2022 is approximately $11 million.

See Note 16 in the Company’s Fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Company’s share-based compensation awards.

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 was 13.5% and 12.9%, respectively. Such rates differ from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the impact of global financing activities.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 25, 2021 was (1.0)% and 7.7%, respectively. Such rates differ from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to a benefit recognized as a result of recently enacted tax legislation in Italy which allowed the Company to reduce its deferred tax liabilities. Specifically, this change allowed the Company to step up certain intangible assets which will result in lower future cash taxes. In addition, the tax rate for each period was further reduced by the favorable impact of global financing activities, partially offset by the increases in uncertain tax positions for the three months ended September 25, 2021. For the six months ended September 25, 2021, the tax rate was also negatively impacted by the tax rate change in the United Kingdom on the Company's net deferred tax liabilities.

The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements. These debt financing arrangements reside between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Hungarian subsidiaries. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized lower effective tax rates for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022.

16. Segment Information

The Company operates its business through three operating segments — Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors, which are based on its business activities and organization. The reportable segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are revenue and operating income for each segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies.

The Company’s three reportable segments are as follows:

•Versace — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Versace luxury ready-to-wear, accessories, and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, 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 that allow third parties to use the Versace trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Versace branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.

•Jimmy Choo — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury footwear, handbags and small leather goods and accessories through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through its 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 trademarks 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 fragrances and eyewear.

•Michael Kors — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which the Company sells Michael Kors products, as well as licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia. The Company also sells Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops, and to its geographic licensees. 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.

In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to its brands and, therefore, are not allocated to its segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information system expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s 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.

The following table presents the key performance information of the Company’s reportable segments (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

17. Subsequent Events

Share Repurchase Plan

Subsequent to October 1, 2022, the Company purchased 2,295,845 shares for a total cost of approximately $100 million, including commissions, under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, bringing the remaining availability under the Company’s existing share repurchase program to $250 million. 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. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

On November 9, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares, providing additional capacity to return cash to shareholders over the longer term. This new two-year program will replace the Company’s existing $1 billion share repurchase program which had $250 million of availability remaining. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included as part of this interim report. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of the Company about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Overview

Our Business

Capri Holdings Limited is a global fashion luxury group, consisting of iconic brands that are industry leaders in design, style and craftsmanship, led by a world-class management team and renowned designers. Our brands cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories including women’s and men’s accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear as well as wearable technology, watches, jewelry, eyewear and a full line of fragrance products. Our goal is to continue to extend the global reach of our brands while ensuring that they maintain their independence and exclusive DNA.

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 accessories, ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, watches, jewelry, fragrance and home furnishings businesses. Versace’s design team is led by Donatella Versace, who has been the brand’s Artistic Director for over 20 years. Versace distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, which includes boutiques in some of the world’s most glamorous 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, enabling it to develop into a leading global luxury accessories brand, whose core product offering is women’s luxury shoes, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, scarves and belts, as well as a men’s luxury shoes and accessory business. In addition, certain categories, such as fragrances 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, as well as innovative products 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, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear 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 with a jet-set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection luxury line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors accessible luxury 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 footwear and ready-to-wear, and addresses the significant demand opportunity in accessible luxury goods. 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.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company's performance during fiscal 2023 was adversely impacted due to lockdowns in certain regions, most notably in Greater China, as a result of an increase in infections due to variants of COVID-19. These lockdowns resulted in store closures and an overall decline in demand in the region. The situation continues to be very volatile and infection rates and government restrictions may continue to persist in Greater China or elsewhere.

Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Our business is affected by global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide. The war in Ukraine that began in February 2022 has created significant economic uncertainty in the region and caused us to stop all shipments to Russia and Ukraine. While our business in Russia and Ukraine represented less than 1% of our total net sales for Fiscal 2022, the war has caused broader macroeconomic implications that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future, including the continued weakening of the Euro against the US dollar, increases in fuel prices, volatility in the financial markets and a decline in consumer spending which may negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations for Fiscal 2023. In addition, inflationary pressures, including increased labor, raw materials, and freight costs are adversely impacting our earnings. 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.

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. Through 2019, the personal luxury goods market grew at a mid-single digit rate over the past 20 years. However, in 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the personal luxury goods market declined 22%. The personal luxury goods market experienced a strong rebound in 2021, with sales exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Market studies forecast the personal luxury goods industry will increase at low-double-digit compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2025. Future growth is expected to be driven by e-commerce, Chinese consumers and younger generations; however, growth may be limited by concerns over inflation and the possibility of a global recession.

Retail Fleet Optimization. We also continue to adjust our retail operating strategy to the changing business environment. We have finalized the planned store closures under the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program as of the end of Fiscal 2022. At the end of Fiscal 2022, we closed a total of 167 stores and recorded total net restructuring charges of $14 million relating to the program. We recorded net restructuring charges of $9 million and $5 million during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively, relating to the plan. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing savings as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation associated with the impairment charges being recorded.

Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar, and those of our non-United States subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Japanese Yen, the Korean Won and the Canadian Dollar, 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 U.S. Dollar.

Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. We have been experiencing global logistics challenges, including delays as a result of port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures which are expected to continue throughout Fiscal 2023. Our freight costs have increased as carrier rates for ocean and air shipments have increased significantly, and the supply chain disruptions have caused us to increase our use of air freight with greater frequency than in the past. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including impacts on our supply chain due to temporary closures of our manufacturing partners and shipping and fulfillment constraints, 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” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 for additional discussion.

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. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. We are also subject to government import regulations, including United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) withhold release orders. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas, the withdrawal from or material modification to trade agreements, and/or if CBP detains shipments of our goods pursuant to a withhold release order could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the United States or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business. In addition, commodity prices and tariffs may have an impact on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible and diversifying the countries where we produce. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.

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 products, including jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, 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 store 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 and 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 systems expenses, including ERP system implementation costs and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. The following table presents our total revenue and income from operations by segment for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 (in millions):

Income from operations as a percent of total revenue	17.8		%	15.0		%	17.4		%	17.7		%

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.

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 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies are disclosed, in full, in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since April 2, 2022.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $112 million, or 8.6%, to $1.412 billion for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $1.300 billion for the three months ended September 25, 2021, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $116 million as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to all major currencies in which we operate for the three months ended October 1, 2022. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $228 million, or 17.5%. The increase is attributable to increased retail and wholesale revenues throughout the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by decreased revenues in Greater China due to COVID-19 related disruptions, for each of our brands.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $67 million, or 7.6%, to $951 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $884 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $83 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 67.4% and 68.0% for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Our gross profit margin decreased primarily due to increased supply chain costs and unfavorable channel mix for the three months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $10 million, or 1.5%, to $699 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $689 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $66 million. Total operating expenses decreased to 49.5% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 53.0% for the three months ended September 25, 2021. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $43 million, or 7.2%, to $642 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $599 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to increased e-commerce costs from higher revenue and higher corporate costs for the three months ended October 1, 2022.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 45.5% for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 46.1% for the three months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to decreased retail store costs as a percentage of revenue due to higher revenue, partially offset by increased e-commerce costs as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021.

Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $10 million, or 22.2%, to $55 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022 as compared to $45 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to an increase in costs related to the ongoing ERP system implementation and Capri transformation projects.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $6 million, or 12.2%, to $43 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $49 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 3.0% for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 3.8% for the three months ended September 25, 2021. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.

Impairment of Assets

During the three months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, we recognized asset impairment charges of $11 million and $33 million, respectively, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Michael Kors store locations. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We recognized restructuring and other charges of $3 million and $8 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The charges are primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments’ results (See Segment Information above for additional information).

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $57 million, to $252 million for three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $195 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 17.8% for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 15.0% for the three months ended September 25, 2021. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.

Interest Expense (Income), net

For the three months ended October 1, 2022, we recognized $5 million of interest expense compared to $5 million of interest income for the three months ended September 25, 2021. The $10 million increase in interest expense (income), net, is primarily due to higher effective interest rates on our outstanding debt, higher average borrowings outstanding and lower interest income from our net investment hedges, partially offset by higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss

For the three months ended October 1, 2022, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $11 million, primarily attributable to a gain related to an undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contract partially offset by losses attributable to intercompany transactions among our subsidiaries. For the three months ended September 25, 2021, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $4 million, primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $35 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to a benefit of $2 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021. Our effective tax rates were 13.5% and (1.0)% for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily related to a benefit recognized during the prior year due to newly enacted tax legislation in Italy, which allowed a step up in certain intangible assets and a reduction of deferred tax liabilities. See Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the effective tax rate for the current fiscal year quarter.

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 Income Attributable to Capri

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $24 million to $224 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $200 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021.

On a constant currency basis, revenue increased $129 million, or 14.6%, primarily due to higher wholesale shipments and increased retail revenue in the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by decreased revenue in Greater China due to the impact of COVID-19 related disruptions.

Income from Operations

For the three months ended October 1, 2022, Michael Kors recorded income from operations of $248 million, compared to $220 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021. Operating margin increased from 25.0% for the three months ended September 25, 2021, to 25.8% for the three months ended October 1, 2022, primarily due to leveraging of operating expenses on higher revenue, partially offset by increased supply chain costs.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $219 million, or 8.6%, to $2.772 billion for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $2.553 billion for the six months ended September 25, 2021, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $199 million, as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to all major currencies in which we operate for the six months ended October 1, 2022. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $418 million, or 16.4%. The increase is attributable to increased retail and wholesale revenues throughout the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by decreased revenues in Greater China due to COVID-19 related disruptions for each of our brands.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $112 million, or 6.4%, to $1.852 billion for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $1.740 billion for the six months ended September 25, 2021, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $141 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 66.8% for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 68.2% for the six months ended September 25, 2021. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to increased supply chain costs and unfavorable channel mix for the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the six months ended September 25, 2021.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $82 million, or 6.4%, to $1.369 billion for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $1.287 billion for the six months ended September 25, 2021. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $112 million. Total operating expenses decreased to 49.4% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 50.4% for the six months ended September 25, 2021. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $120 million, or 10.5%, to $1.264 billion for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $1.144 billion for the six months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to increased e-commerce costs on higher revenue, higher retail store and corporate costs and increased marketing investments for the six months ended October 1, 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 45.6% for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 44.8% for the six months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to increased e-commerce costs partially offset by leveraging retail store costs as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to the six months ended September 25, 2021.

Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $29 million, or 33.7%, to $115 million for the six months ended October 1, 2022 as compared to $86 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to an increase in costs related to the ongoing ERP system implementation and Capri transformation projects.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $11 million, or 11.1%, to $88 million for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $99 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 3.2% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 3.9% for the six months ended September 25, 2021. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.

Impairment of Assets

For the six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, we recognized asset impairment charges of $11 million and $33 million, respectively, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Michael Kors store locations. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We recognized restructuring and other charges of $6 million and $11 million for the six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. These charges are primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments’ results (see Segment Information above for additional information).

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $30 million, to $483 million for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $453 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 17.4% for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to 17.7% for the six months ended September 25, 2021. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.

Interest Expense (Income), net

For the six months ended October 1, 2022, we recognized $1 million of interest expense compared to $4 million of interest income for the six months ended September 25, 2021. The $5 million increase in interest expense (income), net, is primarily due to higher effective interest rates on our outstanding debt and higher average borrowings outstanding, partially

offset by higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents (see Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss

For the six months ended October 1, 2022, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $7 million, primarily attributable to a gain related to an undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contract partially offset by losses attributable to intercompany transactions among our subsidiaries. For the six months ended September 25, 2021, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $5 million, primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the six months ended October 1, 2022, we recognized $63 million of income tax expense compared to $35 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021. Our effective tax rate was 12.9% and 7.7% for the six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The increase in our effective rate was primarily due to a net benefit recognized in the prior year due to newly enacted tax legislation in Italy, partially offset by the impact of the tax rate change in the United Kingdom during the prior year.

Net Income Attributable to Capri

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $6 million to $425 million for the six months ended October 1, 2022, compared to $419 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from 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 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 growth plans, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued systems development, e-commerce and marketing initiatives. We spent $86 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended October 1, 2022.

The following table sets forth key indicators of our liquidity and capital resources (in millions):

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	47	$	3

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $357 million to $39 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to $396 million for the six months ended September 25, 2021, as a result of a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments and decreases related to changes in our working capital. The decreases related to the changes in our working capital are primarily attributable to fluctuations in the timing of payments and receipts when compared to the prior year.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $323 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $48 million during the six months ended September 25, 2021. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities were primarily attributable to the settlement of certain net investment hedges of $409 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022 partially offset by higher capital expenditures of $38 million compared to prior year.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $209 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to $342 million during the six months ended September 25, 2021. The decrease of cash used in financing activities of $133 million was primarily attributable to an increase in net debt borrowing of $653 million, partially offset by a $503 million increase in cash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares compared to prior year.

(1)The financial covenant in our 2022 Credit Facility requires us to comply with the quarterly maximum net leverage ratio test of 4.00 to 1.0. As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our agreements then in effect governing our debt. See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

(2)As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, all amounts are recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

(3)As of October 1, 2022, we no longer had a Term Loan Facility under our 2022 Credit Facility as it was fully repaid. As of April 2, 2022, all amounts are recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

(4)The balance as of October 1, 2022 consists of $14 million related to our supplier financing program recorded within short-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets, $10 million related to the sale of certain Versace tax receivables, with $1 million and $9 million, respectively, recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets and $2 million of other loans recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The balance as of April 2, 2022 consists of $21 million related to our supplier finance program recorded within short-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets, $18 million related to the sale of certain Versace tax receivables, with $8 million and $10 million, respectively, recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets and $3 million of other loans recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

(5)The balance as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 represents the total availability of the credit facility, which excludes bank guarantees.

We believe that our 2022 Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. As of October 1, 2022, 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 2022 Credit Facility.

See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements and Note 11 in our Fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information relating to our credit facilities and debt obligations.

Share Repurchase Program

The following table presents our ordinary share repurchases during the six months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021 (dollars in millions):


	Six Months Ended
	October 1, 2022		September 25, 2021
Cost of shares repurchased under share repurchase program	$	650	$	150
Fair value of shares withheld to cover tax obligations for vested restricted share awards	13		10
Total cost of ordinary shares repurchased	$	663	$	160

Shares repurchased under share repurchase program	13,183,355		2,712,275
Shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations	273,197		193,322
	13,456,552		2,905,597

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, we reinstated our $500 million share repurchase program, which was previously suspended during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the provisions of the Second Amendment of the 2018 Credit Facility.

Subsequently, on November 3, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had terminated our existing $500 million share repurchase program (the “Prior Plan”), with $250 million of availability remaining, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Fiscal 2022 Plan”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares within a period of two years from the effective date of the program.

On June 1, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors had terminated our Fiscal 2022 Plan, with $500 million of availability remaining, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Existing Share Repurchase Plan”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares within period of two years from the effective date of the program. 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. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Subsequent to October 1, 2022, we purchased 2,295,845 shares for a total cost of approximately $100 million, including commissions, under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. On November 9, 2022, we terminated the Existing Share Repurchase Plan and implemented a new share repurchase plan. See Note 17 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Please refer to the “Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments” disclosure within the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K for a detailed disclosure of our other contractual obligations and commitments as of April 2, 2022.

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. Our off-balance sheet commitments relating to our outstanding letters of credit were $34 million at October 1, 2022, including $12 million in letters of credit issued outside of the 2022 Credit Facility. In addition, as of October 1, 2022, bank guarantees of approximately $32 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for recently issued accounting standards, which may have an impact on our financial statements and/or disclosures upon adoption.

ITEM 3. 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. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instruments primarily helps manage our exposure to foreign denominated purchase commitments and better control product costs. 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 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 (loss) income and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive 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, both designated and not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in the U.S. Dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of October 1, 2022, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of October 1, 2022, would result in a net increase and decrease, respectively, of approximately $6 million in the fair value of these contracts.

Net Investment Hedges

We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to our net investment hedges. As of October 1, 2022, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $294 million to hedge our net investments in Japanese Yen denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen. As of October 1, 2022, the Company did not have any notional amounts hedged in relation to its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries. Under the term of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 2.665% in Japanese Yen. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of October 1, 2022, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of October 1, 2022, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $35 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2027 and February 2051. In addition, certain other contracts are supported by a credit support annex (“CSA”) which provides for collateral exchange with the earliest effective date being September 2027. If the outstanding position of a contract exceeds a certain threshold governed by the aforementioned CSA’s, either party is required to post cash collateral.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, our Japan Credit Facility and our Versace Credit Facilities. Our 2022 Credit Facility 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 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 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 Versace Credit Facility carries interest at a rate set by the bank on the date of borrowing that is tied to the European Central Bank. Therefore, our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At October 1, 2022, we had $1,126 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility and no borrowings outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. At April 2, 2022, we had $175 million borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility, $495 million, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018

Term Loan Facility and no borrowings outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under our revolving credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rates would cause an increase to the interest expense relative to any outstanding balance at that date.

Credit Risk

As of October 1, 2022, our $450 million Senior Notes, due in 2024, bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.250% per year, payable semi-annually. Our Senior Notes interest rate payable may be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substitute rating agency), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes.

On an overall basis, our exposure to market risk has not significantly changed from what we reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures do present new and emerging uncertainty to the financial markets. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 for additional information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of October 1, 2022. This evaluation was performed based on 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, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 1, 2022 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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 October 1, 2022 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.

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” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 for additional information.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
