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 July 1, 2023 and for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 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 1, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2023, 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 months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 are based on 13-week periods. The Company’s Fiscal Year 2024 is a 52-week period ending March 30, 2024.
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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 are credit card receivables of $31 million and $22 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.
7
A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):
| July 1, 2023 | April 1, 2023 | ||||||||||
| Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | |||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 238 | $ | 249 | |||||||
| Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets | 2 | 7 | |||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | 240 | $ | 256 | |||||||
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 $47 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023.
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 income until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized within cost of goods sold. 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 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 cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between different 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 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
8
comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.
Fair Value Hedges
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, the fair value hedge will be recorded at fair value each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, which will offset the related foreign currency impact of the underlying transaction being hedged.
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 August 2027. 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 renewal options 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 options 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):

During the three months ended July 1, 2023, share equivalents of 287,571 shares have been excluded from the above calculations due to their anti-dilutive effect. Share equivalents of 657,340 shares have been excluded from the above calculations for the three months ended July 2, 2022 due to their anti-dilutive effect.
See Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 for a complete disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

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 do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 on a retrospective basis, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis. See Note 9 for the Company’s disclosures relating to this update.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, 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.

(1)As of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, $97 million and $96 million, respectively, of trade receivables were insured.
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 $8 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023. The Company had credit losses of $1 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility
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. See Note 11 to the Company’s Fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Company’s interest rates associated with borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility.
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 July 1, 2023. 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, charges 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
16
entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility.
As of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the Company had $973 million and $874 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $3 million were outstanding as of both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023. At July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility was $524 million and $623 million, respectively. The Company had $6 million of deferred financing fees related to Revolving Credit Facilities for both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, and are recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As of July 1, 2023, and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2022 Credit Facility.
Versace Term Loan
On December 5, 2022, Gianni Versace S.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of Capri Holdings Limited, entered into a credit facility with Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Banco Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., and UniCredit S.p.A., as arrangers and lenders, and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., as agent, which provides a senior unsecured term loan (the “Versace Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of €450 million. The Versace Term Loan is not subject to amortization and matures on December 5, 2025. The Company provides an unsecured guaranty of the Versace Term Loan.
The Versace Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of EURIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus a margin of 1.35%.
The Versace Term Loan may be prepaid without premium or penalty other than customary “breakage” costs. The Versace Term Loan 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, charges and expenses, subject to certain additions and deductions. The Versace Term Loan also includes covenants that limit additional financial indebtedness, liens, acquisitions, loans and guarantees, restricted payments and mergers of GIVI Holding S.r.l., Gianni Versace S.r.l. and their respective subsidiaries.
The Versace Term Loan 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 material financial indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, illegality or repudiation of any loan document under the Versace Term Loan or any failure thereof 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 Versace Term Loan would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, accelerating amounts outstanding under the Versace Term Loan.
As of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the carrying value of the Versace Term Loan was $490 million and $487 million, respectively, net of $1 million of deferred financing fees for both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, which were recorded within long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
As of July 1, 2023, and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Versace Term Loan.
Versace Facilities
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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the outstanding balance was $11 million, with $1 million and $10 million recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
17
Supplier Financing Program
The Company offers a supplier financing program which enables the Company’s inventory 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, which generally do not exceed 90 days, 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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 was $12 million and $4 million, respectively, and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 11 to the Company’s Fiscal 2023 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 1, 2023 for a detailed disclosure of other commitments and contractual obligations as of April 1, 2023.
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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, 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.
18
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 July 1, 2023 using: | Fair value at April 1, 2023 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) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total derivative liabilities | $ | — | $ | 96 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 39 | $ | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||
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 long-term debt, based on Level 2 measurements (in millions):
| July 1, 2023 | April 1, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Revolving Credit Facilities | $ | 973 | $ | 973 | $ | 874 | $ | 874 | |||||||||||||||
| Versace Term Loan | $ | 490 | $ | 486 | $ | 487 | $ | 481 | |||||||||||||||
| Senior Notes due 2024 | $ | 449 | $ | 432 | $ | 449 | $ | 435 | |||||||||||||||
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 no impairment charges during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022.
19
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 currencies 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 2024, the Company entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.5 billion to hedge its net investment in Swiss Franc (“CHF”) denominated subsidiaries. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States Dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in CHF. These contracts have maturity dates between September 2024 and June 2028 and are designated as net investment hedges.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company entered into multiple float-to-float cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.0 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries. The Company will exchange Euro floating rate payments based on EURIBOR for the United States dollar floating rate amounts based on SOFR CME Term over the life of the agreement. The fixed rate component of semi-annual Euro payments range from 1.149% to 1.215%. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2028 and August 2030 and are designated as net investment hedges.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $350 million to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States Dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro. These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and April 2027 and have been designated as net investment hedges.
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company entered into a fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of €150 million to hedge its net investment in British Pound (“GBP”) denominated subsidiaries (the “GBP/EUR Net Investment Hedges”). As of July 1, 2023, the Company had multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of €1.15 billion to hedge its net investment in GBP denominated subsidiaries. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on GBP notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0% in Euro. These contracts have maturity dates between November 2024 and November 2027 and are designated as net investment hedges.
As of July 1, 2023, 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 United States notional amounts 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. 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 $15 million and $17 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges
The Company is exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which will impact earnings on a consolidated basis. To manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company entered into fair value cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure in GBP denominated subsidiaries (the “GBP Fair Value Hedge”) on a Euro denominated intercompany loan. As of July 1, 2023, the total notional values of outstanding fair value cross-currency swaps related to these loans were €1 billion. Under the term of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on GBP notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% in Euro. These contracts have maturity dates between March 2025 and March 2026 and are designated as fair value hedges.
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, the fair value hedge will be recorded at fair value each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, which will offset the earnings impact of the underlying transaction being hedged. Accordingly, the Company recorded a foreign currency gain of $28 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 (in millions):

(1)Recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
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 above 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 and with the same banks, the resulting impact as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 would be as follows (in millions):
| Net Investment Hedges | Fair Value Hedges | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| July 1, 2023 | April 1, 2023 | July 1, 2023 | April 1, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||

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 income and are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive 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 income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon discontinuation of the hedge, such amounts remain in CTA until the related net investment is sold or liquidated. The net gain or loss on cross-currency swap contracts
21
designated as fair value hedges and associated with cross-currency intercompany loans are recognized within foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income generally in the period in which the related balances being hedged are revalued.

The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive 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 July 1, 2023, there was no gain or loss recognized within foreign currency loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as there were no undesignated hedges outstanding. During the three months ended July 2, 2022, a $2 million gain was recognized within foreign currency 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.
13. Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On June 1, 2022, the Company announced its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Fiscal 2023 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company was permitted, from time to time, to 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 November 9, 2022, the Company announced its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “Existing Share Repurchase Plan”) to purchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares, providing additional capacity to return cash to shareholders over the longer term. This new two-year program replaced the Fiscal 2023 Plan. 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.
During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company purchased 2,636,564 shares for a total cost of approximately $100 million, including commissions, through open market transactions under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan. As of July 1, 2023, the remaining availability under the Company’s Existing Share Repurchase Plan was $300 million.
22
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company purchased 6,120,174 shares for a total cost of approximately $300 million including commissions, through open market transactions under the Fiscal 2023 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 three month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, the Company withheld 164,377 shares and 265,311 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $6 million and $12 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The following table details changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of taxes, for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively (in millions):

Foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months ended July 2, 2022 primarily include a $151 million gain, net of taxes of $62 million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges, and a net $253 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 an 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 July 1, 2023, 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 July 1, 2023, there were 4,150,946 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.
23
The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity during the three months ended July 1, 2023:
| Options | Service-Based RSUs | Performance-Based RSUs | |||||||||||||||
Outstanding/Unvested at April 1, 2023 | 229,675 | 3,181,926 | 165,239 | ||||||||||||||

Outstanding/Unvested at July 1, 2023 | 191,967 | 3,431,102 | 368,932 | ||||||||||||||
The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based and performance-based RSUs granted during the three months ended July 1, 2023 was $36.86 and $36.82, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based and performance-based RSUs granted during the three months ended July 2, 2022 was $49.02 and $47.41, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The following table summarizes compensation expense attributable to share-based compensation for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 (in millions):
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
| July 1, 2023 | July 2, 2022 | ||||||||||
| Share-based compensation expense | $ | 30 | $ | 28 | |||||||
| Tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense | $ | 5 | $ | 5 | |||||||
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 awards as of July 1, 2023 is approximately $14 million.
See Note 16 in the Company’s Fiscal 2023 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 months ended July 1, 2023 was 4.0%. This rate differs from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 25% primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance on Korean deferred tax assets during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and the impact of global financing activities.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was 12.1%. Such rates differed from the U.K. federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the impact of global financing activities.
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. and U.K. subsidiaries. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized lower effective tax rates for the three months ended July 1, 2023.
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.
24
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 and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other (income) expense and COVID-19 related expenses. 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.

17. Subsequent Events
On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Tapestry”), and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry (“Merger Sub”).
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry will acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri (the “Merger”), with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry.
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding ordinary share, no par value, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”) (other than (a) Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are owned or held in treasury by the Company or by Tapestry or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and (b) Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by holders who have properly exercised dissenters’ rights in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands) will be converted into the right to receive $57.00 in cash, without interest, subject to any required tax withholding as provided in the Merger Agreement.
The Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that Capri’s shareholders adopt a resolution authorizing the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and approving the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“Shareholder Approval”).
The completion of the Merger is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain customary mutual closing conditions, including (a) the Shareholder Approval having been obtained, (b) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other regulatory approvals, and (c) the absence of any injunction or order by a court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction in U.S. or other specified jurisdictions preventing, enjoining, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain customary materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Tapestry’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the absence of a material adverse effect on Capri’s business prior to the Effective Time as more specifically defined in the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to any financing condition.
Additional information about the Merger Agreement is set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2023.

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
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. Inflation, rising interest rates, higher fuel and energy costs and commodity prices, reductions in net worth based on market declines and uncertainty, home prices, credit availability and consumer debt levels, concerns of a global banking crisis, political instability due to war or other geopolitical factors and other macroeconomic pressures and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment have led to recession fears and created a challenging retail environment, which is expected to continue in the near term. Purchases of discretionary luxury items, such as the accessories, footwear and apparel that we produce, tend to decline when disposable income is lower or when there are recessions, inflationary pressures or other economic uncertainty which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
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.
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, with more recent growth driven by stronger Chinese demand from both international and local consumers and demographic and socioeconomic shifts resulting in younger consumers purchasing more luxury goods. However, in 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the personal luxury goods market declined 23%. Market studies indicate that the personal luxury goods market returned to 2019 levels in 2021, and the market is predicted to increase at a 10% 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, the possibility of a global recession, foreign currency volatility or worsening economic conditions.
29
Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and those of our non-United States subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the United States dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, 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 United States dollar.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Any disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures, could have a negative impact on our results of operations. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors” — “We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods” and “Our business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities, including disruptions or delays in manufacturing or shipments” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 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 rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives in order to maximize efficiencies relating to product importation. 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:

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.

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 income (expense) and COVID-19 related expenses. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance.

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 1, 2023. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since April 1, 2023.

Total Revenue
Total revenue decreased $131 million, or 9.6%, to $1.229 billion for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $1.360 billion for the three months ended July 2, 2022, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $5 million primarily as a result of the strengthening of the United States dollar compared to the Chinese Renminbi and Japanese Yen partially offset by weakening of the United States Dollar against the Euro for the three months ended July 1, 2023. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue decreased $126 million, or 9.3%. primarily attributable to lower revenues in the Americas, partially offset by increased revenues in Greater China for each of our brands.

•Michael Kors revenue decreased $126 million, or 13.8%, to $787 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $913 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $4 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $122 million, or 13.4%, primarily due to lower revenues in the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by increased revenues in Greater China.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $89 million, or 9.9%, to $812 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $901 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 66.1% and 66.3% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. Our gross profit margin decreased primarily related to a return to more normalized promotional levels supported by an improved inventory position versus the prior year offset by lower supply chain costs for the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $62 million, or 9.3%, to $732 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $670 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $3 million. Total operating expenses increased to 59.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to 49.3% for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $67 million, or 10.8%, to $689 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $622 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 56.1% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to 45.7% for the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily due to increased marketing and unallocated corporate expenses and deleveraging of operating expenses on lower revenue for the three months ended July 1, 2023.
Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $11 million, or 18.3%, to $71 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to $60 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily due to an increase in professional fees and information technology costs related to the ongoing Capri transformation projects and ERP system implementation.
Restructuring and Other (Income) Expense
We recognized restructuring and other (income) expense of $(2) million and $3 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The income for the three months ended July 1, 2023 is primarily related to a gain on the sale of a long-lived corporate asset, partially offset by acquisition related Versace equity awards and severance expenses. The expense for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was 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 (income) expense is not evaluated as part of our reportable segments’ results (See Segment Information above for additional information).
35
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations decreased $151 million, to $80 million for three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $231 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 6.5% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to 17.0% for the three months ended July 2, 2022. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.

•Versace recorded income from operations of $3 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $52 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin decreased from 18.9% for the three months ended July 2, 2022, to 1.2% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, primarily due to increased marketing investments, particularly related to the timing of the fall fashion show which occurred in the first quarter of this fiscal year, and deleveraging of operating expenses on lower revenues.
•Jimmy Choo recorded income from operations of $16 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $19 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin decreased from 11.0% for the three months ended July 2, 2022 to 8.7% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, primarily due to higher employee costs and increased marketing investments.
•Michael Kors recorded income from operations of $130 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $222 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin decreased from 24.3% for the three months ended July 2, 2022, to 16.5% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, primarily due to increased marketing investments and deleveraging of operating expenses on lower revenues.
Interest Expense (Income), net
For the three months ended July 1, 2023, we recognized $8 million of interest expense compared to $4 million of interest income for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $12 million increase in interest expense (income), net, is primarily due to higher effective interest rates and higher average borrowings on our outstanding debt, 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 Loss
For the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $21 million and $4 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the remeasurement of intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $28 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Our effective tax rates were 4.0% and 12.1% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. In the current year, the decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily related to the release of a valuation allowance and a decrease in uncertain tax positions due to the settlement of an outstanding audit. See Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the effective tax rate for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
36
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 decreased $153 million to $48 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, compared to $201 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022.
37
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 $50 million on capital expenditures during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
The Capri transformation program represents a multi-year, multi-project initiative extending through Fiscal 2026 intended to improve the operating effectiveness and efficiency of our organization by creating best in class shared platforms across our brands and by expanding our digital capabilities. These initiatives cover multiple aspects of our operations including supply chain, marketing, omni-channel customer experience, e-commerce, data analytics and IT infrastructure. Through Fiscal 2026, we expect expenditures up to $220 million related to these efforts.
The Company is also in progress with a multi-year ERP implementation which includes accounting, finance and wholesale and retail inventory solutions in order to create standardized finance IT applications across our organization. This ERP implementation will continue through Fiscal 2026 and we expect expenditures up to $170 million related to these initiatives.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $97 million to $40 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to $137 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, as a result of a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments and decreases in working capital requirements due to the stabilization of inventory levels compared to prior year.
Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $50 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $30 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The increase in net cash used

in investing activities were primarily attributable to the settlement of net investment hedges of $66 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022 partially offset by higher capital expenditures of $14 million compared to prior year.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to $50 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The decrease of cash used in financing activities of $47 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in net debt borrowings of $158 million, partially offset by a $206 million decrease 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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, 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 July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, all amounts are recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.
(3)On December 5, 2022, Gianni Versace S.r.l., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility, which provides a senior unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of €450 million. As of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, all amounts are recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

(5)The balance as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023 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 July 1, 2023, 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.

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.
42
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 to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our 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 income, and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of goods sold or operating expenses, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as applicable to the transactions for which the forward foreign currency exchange contracts were established.
There were no forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2023 and as a result we were not required to perform a sensitivity analysis.
Net Investment Hedges
We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to our net investment hedges. As of July 1, 2023, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.5 billion to hedge our net investment in CHF denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and CHF. Under the terms of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% in CHF. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of July 1, 2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $240 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between September 2024 and June 2028.
As of July 1, 2023, we have multiple float-to-float cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1 billion to hedge our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Euro. We will exchange Euro floating rate payments based on EURIBOR for the United States dollar floating rate amounts based on SOFR CME Term over the life of the agreement. The fixed rate component of semi-annual Euro payments range from 1.149% to 1.215%. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of July 1, 2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $106 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2028 and August 2030.
As of July 1, 2023, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $350 million to hedge our net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Euro. Under the terms of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% in Euros. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of July 1, 2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $34 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and April 2027.
As of July 1, 2023, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of €1.15 billion to hedge our net investments in GBP denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the Euro and British pound. Under the terms of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on GBP notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% in Euro. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of July 1,
43
2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the British pound compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately £87 million (approximately $111 million) in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between November 2024 and November 2027.
As of July 1, 2023, 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 United States dollar and the Japanese Yen. Under the term of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% to 2.665% in Japanese Yen. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of July 1, 2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the United States dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $37 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.
Fair Value Hedges
We are exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which will impact earnings on a consolidated basis. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these balances, we enter into fair value forward cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure in GBP denominated subsidiaries on a Euro denominated intercompany loan. As of July 1, 2023, the total notional values of outstanding fair value cross-currency swaps related to these loans were €1 billion. Based on the fair value hedges outstanding as of July 1, 2023, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the British pound compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 1, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately £89 million (approximately $113 million) in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between March 2025 and March 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, our Versace Term Loan, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, our Japan Credit Facility and our Uncommitted 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 Versace Term Loan carries interest rates that are tied to EURIBOR. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Our China Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark lending rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Our Uncommitted Versace Credit Facilities 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 July 1, 2023, we had $973 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, $490 million outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, under our Versace Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Versace Credit Facilities. At April 1, 2023, we had $874 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, $487 million, outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, under our Versace Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under all other Credit Facilities. These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under our revolving credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense relative to any outstanding balance at that date.
Credit Risk
As of July 1, 2023, 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. Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures continue to 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 1, 2023 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 July 1, 2023. 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 July 1, 2023 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 July 1, 2023 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 1, 2023 for additional information.
45
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
The following should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2023.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed merger with Tapestry, Inc. could adversely affect our business, financial results and operations.
On August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Tapestry”), and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry (“Merger Sub”).The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry will acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri (the “Merger”), with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers, vendors and employees, which could have a significant negative impact on our future revenues and results of operations, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. In particular, we could potentially lose important personnel as a result of the departure of employees who decide to pursue other opportunities in light of the proposed transaction. In addition, management and financial resources have been diverted and will continue to be diverted towards the completion of the Merger, which could have a negative impact on our future revenues and/or results of operations.
We are also subject to restrictions, without the consent of Tapestry, on the conduct of our business prior to the consummation of the Merger as provided in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, certain restrictions on our ability to make certain capital expenditures, make investments and acquisitions, enter into certain contracts, open store locations, sell, transfer or dispose of our assets and incur indebtedness. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, result in our inability to respond effectively and/or timely to competitive pressures, industry developments and future opportunities, and otherwise have a significant negative impact on our future revenues and/or results of operations.
Failure to complete the proposed Merger could adversely affect our business and the market price of our ordinary shares.
There is no assurance that the closing of the Merger will occur. Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval of the Company’s shareholders, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other regulatory approvals, and certain other conditions. We cannot predict with certainty whether and when any of these conditions will be satisfied. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, a change in the recommendation of the Board or a termination of the Merger Agreement by us to enter into an agreement for a superior proposal, as defined in the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not consummated, and there are no other parties willing and able to acquire us at a price of $57 per share or higher and on other terms acceptable to us, our share price will likely decline as our shares have recently traded at prices based on the proposed per share price for the Merger. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Merger, as well as the direction of management resources towards the Merger, for which we will have received little or no benefit if the closing of the Merger does not occur. A failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community. If the Merger is not consummated, there can be no assurance that any other transaction acceptable to us will be offered or that our business, prospects or results of operations will not be adversely affected. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement by us or Tapestry under specified conditions, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $240 million, and in other circumstances our remedy may be limited to reimbursement of certain expenses or we may not be entitled to receive any reimbursement. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and our stock price.
46
We may be subject to litigation challenging the Merger, and an unfavorable judgment or ruling in any such lawsuits could prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger and/or result in substantial costs.
Lawsuits related to the Merger may be filed against us, Tapestry, and our respective affiliates, directors and officers. If dismissals are not obtained or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of Merger and/or result in substantial costs to us.
