TAPESTRY, INC.
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)



1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Tapestry, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading New York-based house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands. Tapestry owns the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands. The Company’s primary product offerings, manufactured by third-party suppliers, include women’s and men’s bags, small leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear including outerwear, watches, weekend and travel accessories, scarves, eyewear, fragrance, jewelry and other lifestyle products.
The Coach segment includes global sales of Coach products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet and concession shop-in-shops, and sales to wholesale customers and through independent third party distributors.
The Kate Spade segment includes global sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers, through concession shop-in-shops and through independent third party distributors.
The Stuart Weitzman segment includes global sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products primarily through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers and through numerous independent third party distributors.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
Interim Financial Statements
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2019 ("fiscal 2019") and other filings filed with the SEC.
The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended September 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on June 27, 2020 ("fiscal 2020"). 
During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and Australia and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. The results of operations of each acquired entity have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the respective date of each acquisition.
Fiscal Periods
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2020 will be a 52-week period. Fiscal 2019 ended on June 29, 2019 and was also a 52-week period. The first quarter of fiscal 2020 ended on September 28, 2019 and the first quarter of fiscal 2019 ended on September 29, 2018, both of which were 13-week periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for the realizability of inventory; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes (including the impacts of tax legislation) and related uncertain tax positions; accounting for business combinations; the valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related expected forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring; and reserves for litigation and other contingencies, amongst others.
Share Repurchases
The Company accounts for share repurchases by allocating the repurchase price to common stock and retained earnings. As a result, all repurchased shares are authorized but unissued shares. Under Maryland law, the Company's state of incorporation, there are no treasury shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade

TAPESTRY, INC.
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)




date. Purchases of the Company's common stock were executed through open market purchases, including through a purchase agreement under Rule 10b5-1. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation. Beginning in fiscal 2020, the Company presented the impact of foreign currency gains and losses within Other expense (income) within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accordingly, foreign currency gains and losses that were reported within Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in fiscal 2019 are now reflected within Other expense (income).
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02") and related ASUs. This ASU requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases other than short-term leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients intended to ease transition whereby the Company need not reassess as of the adoption date (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to combine non-lease components and lease components for real estate leases. The Company applied the provisions of ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements" ("ASU 2018-11"), allowing it to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.
The effects of the adoption on selected line items within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:

(1)  
Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In conjunction with this recognition, the Company reclassified amounts to lease right-of-use assets including: prepaid rent from prepaid expenses; key money and lease right intangibles from current and long-term other assets; deferred rent, lease incentives, unfavorable lease right liability and other accrued rent from current and long-term other liabilities. In addition, upon adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized initial ROU asset balances of $2.13 billion on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(2)  
Upon adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities of $2.32 billion on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which were recorded with Current and Long-term lease liabilities.
(3)  
Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative adjustment of $63.7 million, net of tax, decreasing the opening balance of Retained earnings, related to right-of-use asset impairment charges for certain of the Company’s stores where it was previously determined that the carrying value of assets was not recoverable. This adjustment was partially offset by ($14.8) million, net of tax, of increases to retained earnings to recognize deferred gains resulting from real estate transactions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)" ("ASU 2018-13"), which is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value disclosures. The ASU removes or modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value information, as well as adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, however, does not expect a material impact resulting from this guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" ("ASU 2018-15"), which is intended to clarify the accounting for implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements which are deemed to be a service contract rather than a software license. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-15 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires companies to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The requirement of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
4. REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from sales of the products of its brands through retail and wholesale channels, including the Internet. The Company also generates revenue from royalties related to licensing its trademarks, as well as sales in ancillary channels. In all cases, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised products or services to the customer, which may be at a point in time or over time. Control is transferred when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, including estimation of sale terms that may create variability in the consideration. Revenue subject to variability is constrained to an amount which will not result in a significant reversal in future periods when the contingency that creates variability is resolved.
The Company recognizes revenue in its retail stores, including concession shop-in-shops, at the point-of-sale when the customer obtains physical possession of the products. Internet revenue from sales of products ordered through the Company's e-commerce sites is recognized upon delivery and receipt of the shipment by its customers and includes shipping and handling charges paid by customers. Retail and Internet revenues are recorded net of estimated returns, which are estimated by developing an expected value based on historical experience. Payment is due at the point of sale.
Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until redeemed by the customer, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company also uses historical information to estimate the amount of gift card balances that will never be redeemed

7

TAPESTRY, INC.
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)




and recognizes that amount as revenue over time in proportion to actual customer redemptions if the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction as unclaimed property.
The Company recognizes revenue within the wholesale channel at the time title passes and risk of loss is transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment of products but may occur upon receipt of the shipment by the customer in certain cases. Payment is generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimates for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration provided to the customer. Discounts are based on contract terms with the customer, while cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration may be based on contract terms or negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Returns and markdowns generally require approval from the Company and are estimated based on historical trends, current season results and inventory positions at the wholesale locations, current market and economic conditions as well as, in select cases, contractual terms. The Company's historical estimates of these variable amounts have not differed materially from actual results.
The Company recognizes licensing revenue over time during the contract period in which licensees are granted access to the Company's trademarks. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty and may include a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Revenue for contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amounts is recognized ratably over the license year and any excess sales-based royalties are recognized as earned once the minimum royalty threshold is achieved. Payments from the customer are generally due quarterly in an amount based on the licensee's sales of goods bearing the licensed trademarks during the period, which may differ from the amount of revenue recorded during the period thereby generating a contract asset or liability. Contract assets and liabilities and contract costs related to the licensing arrangements are immaterial as the licensing business represents approximately 1% of total net sales in the three months ended September 28, 2019.
The Company has elected a practical expedient not to disclose the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the period related to contracts with an original duration of one year or less or variable consideration related to sales-based royalty arrangements. There are no other contracts with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than future minimum royalties as discussed above, which are not material.
Other practical expedients elected by the Company include (i) assuming no significant financing component exists for any contract with a duration of one year or less, (ii) accounting for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity within SG&A expense regardless of the timing of the shipment in relation to the transfer of control and (iii) excluding sales and value added tax from the transaction price.

(3) 
Other sales primarily represents sales in Europe, the Middle East and royalties related to licensing.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue results from cash payments received or receivable from customers prior to the transfer of the promised goods or services, and is primarily related to unredeemed gift cards, net of breakage which has been recognized. Additional deferred revenue may result from sales-based royalty payments received or receivable which exceed the revenue recognized during the contractual period. The balance of such amounts as of September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019 was $31.6 million and $27.5 million, respectively, which were primarily recorded within Accrued liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within a year. For the three months ended September 28, 2019, net sales of $4.5 million were recognized from amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of June 29, 2019. For the three months ended September 29, 2018, net sales of $3.0 million were recognized from amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of June 30, 2018.

6. ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal 2019 Acquisitions
Distributor Acquisitions
During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and Australia and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore.
The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisitions was $47.8 million, $44.0 million of which was cash consideration and the remaining is related to non-cash consideration. Of the $44.0 million of cash consideration, $43.5 million was paid during fiscal 2019 and the remaining will be paid in the future. Of the total purchase consideration of $47.8 million, $21.8 million of net assets were recorded at their fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as non-tax deductible goodwill in the amount of $26.0 million, of which $13.3 million was assigned to the Stuart Weitzman segment and $12.7 million was assigned to the Kate Spade segment.
The purchase price allocation for these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is completed or substantially complete, however may be subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period for the respective acquisitions. The pro forma results are not presented for these acquisitions as they are immaterial.

9. LEASES
The Company leases retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, distribution centers, storage space, machinery, equipment and certain other items under operating leases. The Company's leases have initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 years and may have renewal or early termination options ranging from 1 to 10 years. These leases may also include rent escalation clauses or lease incentives in the form of construction allowances and rent reduction. In determining the lease term used in the lease ROU asset and lease liability calculations, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal or termination options that may exist. When deemed reasonably certain, the renewal and termination options are included in the determination of the lease term and calculation of the lease ROU asset and lease liability. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments, variable rent payments primarily based on performance (i.e., percentage-of-sales-based payments), or a combination thereof, directly related to its ROU asset. The Company is also often required, by the lease, to pay for certain other costs including real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance fees, and/or certain other costs, which may be fixed or variable, depending upon the terms of the respective lease agreement. To the extent these payments are fixed, the Company has included them in calculating the lease ROU assets and lease liabilities.
The Company calculates lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as the present value of fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term beginning at the commencement date. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the implicit rate to determine the present value of lease payments. As the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term, currency, country, Company specific risk premium and adjustments for collateral.
For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases and impaired operating leases, the ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less ("short-term lease"), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over such term, and are not recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Variable lease cost for both operating and finance leases, if any, is recognized as incurred.
The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to a sublease of a portion the Company's leased headquarters space. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.
ROU assets, along with any other related long-lived assets, are periodically evaluated for impairment.

Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and any other potentially dilutive instruments, only in the periods in which such effects are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share. In addition, the Company has outstanding restricted stock unit awards that are issuable only upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition modifiers) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, there were 12.9 million and 5.3 million, respectively, of additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

During the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, the Company recognized interest expense related to its debt of $16.8 million and $16.8 million, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper back-up). Letters of credit and swing line loans may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as described below. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 28, 2019.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid.
On October 24, 2019, the Company refinanced and replaced its existing $900.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with a new $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"). The New Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of October 24, 2024 and redefines certain terms within the existing Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. Refer to Note 17, "Subsequent Event", for further information.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Due to their short-term maturity, management believes that their carrying value approximates fair value.
(2) 
Short-term investments are recorded at fair value, which approximates their carrying value, and are primarily based upon quoted vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.
(3) 
The fair value of these hedges is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.
Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt instruments.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities 
The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering market participant assumptions.

TAPESTRY, INC.
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)




When the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment, the assessment is performed for the related asset group that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of the cash flows of other assets. This determination requires a significant amount of judgment, and is dependent on the Company's overall operating strategy. The Company historically grouped select flagship locations with other stores located within the geographic area surrounding the flagship store as the Company believed the assets of the related group benefited from the Company's investments in the flagship location. Beginning in fiscal 2020, the Company began to (i) evaluate select flagship store closures across all brands, (ii) be more selective about new store openings as it focuses on store productivity and (iii) invest more significantly in growing its digital business and capabilities. Following this shift in strategy, during the quarter ended September 28, 2019, the Company determined for these certain flagship locations that the individual store represents the lowest level of independent identifiable cash flows.
As a result, the Company identified impairment indicators at certain flagship store locations and recorded lease ROU assets and property and equipment asset impairment charges. The fair value of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements. Inputs to these fair value measurements included estimates of the amounts and the timing of the stores' net future discounted cash flows based on historical experience, current trends and market conditions. The Company recorded $39.8 million of impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to reduce the carrying amount of certain store assets within property and equipment, net to their fair values of $10.1 million as of September 28, 2019. The Company recorded $35.8 million of impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to reduce the carrying amount of certain operating lease right-of-use assets to their fair values of $119.3 million as of September 28, 2019.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms "the Company," "Tapestry," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Tapestry, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries. References to "Coach," "Stuart Weitzman," "Kate Spade" or "kate spade new york" refer only to the referenced brand.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Tapestry is a leading New York-based house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands. Tapestry is powered by optimism, innovation and inclusivity. Our brands are approachable and inviting and create joy every day for people around the world. Defined by quality, craftsmanship and creativity, our house of brands gives global audiences the opportunity for exploration and self-expression. Tapestry is comprised of the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands, all of which have been part of the American landscape for over 25 years.
The Company has three reportable segments:
Coach - Includes global sales of Coach products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet and concession shop-in-shops, and sales to wholesale customers and through independent third party distributors.
Kate Spade - Includes global sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers, through concession shop-in-shops and through independent third party distributors.
Stuart Weitzman - Includes global sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products primarily to customers through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers and through numerous independent third party distributors.
Each of our brands is unique and independent, while sharing a commitment to innovation and authenticity defined by distinctive products and differentiated customer experiences across channels and geographies. Our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel, geographic area or brand.
Fiscal 2020 Strategic Initiatives
The company continues to focus on execution in fiscal 2020. Specifically, in fiscal 2020, the Company intends to:
Ignite brand growth driven by innovation
Drive global growth, with a focus on maximizing opportunities with the Chinese consumer
Invest in our digital and data analytic capabilities
Harness the benefit of the multi-brand structure
Recent Developments
ERP Implementation
During fiscal 2018, the Company implemented a global consolidation system which provides a common platform for financial reporting, a point-of-sale system for Coach in North America as well as a human resource information system for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance and accounting systems for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance, accounting, supply chain and human resource information systems for Kate Spade. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company deployed the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman. With this deployment, the ERP Implementation is now substantially completed.
Stuart Weitzman Production Challenges
During fiscal 2018, Stuart Weitzman results were negatively impacted by supply chain operational challenges including production delays, as the brand was not prepared for the level of complexity and new development as it transitioned to a new creative vision. The trailing impacts of these operational challenges continued to negatively impact Stuart Weitzman results in fiscal 2019 and in fiscal 2020, including a reduction in wholesale demand at Stuart Weitzman. The Company continues to address these challenges through investment in talent, operational process improvements, and a focus on the fashion sensibility of the core design aesthetic.

24


Integration
During fiscal 2019, the Company acquired certain distributors for the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands. The operating results of the respective entities have been consolidated in the Company's operating results commencing on the date of each acquisition. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company incurred charges related to the integration of the businesses. These charges are primarily associated with organization-related costs, professional fees, one-time write-off of inventory and limited life purchase accounting adjustments. The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $10-15 million in pre-tax charges, of which the majority are expected to be cash charges, for the remainder of fiscal 2020.
Refer to Note 5, "Integration," Note 6, "Acquisitions," and the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.
Change in Chief Executive Officer
On September 4, 2019, the Company announced that Victor Luis departed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of September 3, 2019. On September 4, 2019, the Company named Jide Zeitlin, Chairman of the Board of Directors, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with Mr. Luis’s departure, the Company and Mr. Luis entered into a separation and mutual release agreement.
Impairment
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $75.6 million of impairment charges related to store assets, including the lease assets recorded in connection with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. Refer to Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements," and Note 16, "Segment Information," for further information.
Current Trends and Outlook
The environment in which we operate is subject to a number of different factors driving global consumer spending. Consumer preferences, macroeconomic conditions, foreign currency fluctuations and geopolitical events continue to impact overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items, with inconsistent patterns across channels and geographies.
Global consumer retail traffic trends remain under pressure. This, along with other factors, has led to a more promotional environment in the fragmented retail industry due to increased competition and a desire to offset traffic declines with increased levels of conversion. Further declines in traffic could result in impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value.
Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, observed that global expansion has declined significantly in the last year and remains weak. These organizations expect continued softening of the growth rates in the United States and China, and also observed challenging economic growth across markets around the globe recently. Furthermore, there are factors noted that may further pressure the economic growth levels currently anticipated. As a result, the current global outlook remains uncertain. It is still too early to understand what kind of sustained impact these trends or changes in trade agreements and tax legislations will have on consumer discretionary spending.
Risk of volatility or a worsening of the macroeconomic environment remains, including currency devaluation, due to political uncertainty and potential changes to international trade agreements. During the first quarter of 2020, Hong Kong has been the subject of worsening political unrest, as demonstrated through ongoing public demonstrations and protests, which has impacted and is expected to continue to impact our business. Furthermore, during fiscal 2019 and continuing into fiscal 2020, the Trump Administration and China have both imposed new tariffs on the importation of certain product categories into the respective country. We expect these changes to have a modest impact on gross margin in fiscal 2020. Continued increases in trade tensions could impact the Company's ability to grow its business with the Chinese consumer globally.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company noted volatility in the spending patterns of certain North American customers, believed to be resellers, in advance of changes in Chinese e-commerce laws effective January 1, 2019. The volatility experienced during this period may continue in the near-term. The Company also observed an acceleration in local customer demand in mainland China which has helped to partially offset this trend.
Additional macroeconomic impacts include but are not limited to the United Kingdom ("U.K.") voting to leave the European Union ("E.U."), commonly known as "Brexit." On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty formally starting a 2 year negotiation period with the E.U., which has since been extended. In March 2018, the U.K. and E.U. announced an agreement in principle to transitional provisions under which E.U. law would remain in force in the U.K. until December 2020. This transitional period is subject to the successful conclusion of a final withdrawal agreement between the parties and its ratification by U.K. parliament. The E.U. have agreed to grant a further extension to delay the date of Brexit until January 31, 2020. In the absence of a withdrawal agreement, a "hard" Brexit will occur, resulting in increased legal and regulatory complexities and divergent laws between the U.K. and the E.U.

25


We will continue to monitor these trends and evaluate and adjust our operating strategies and cost management opportunities to mitigate the related impact on our results of operations, while remaining focused on the long-term growth of our business and protecting the value of our brands.
For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019.

Tapestry, Inc. Summary – First Quarter of Fiscal 2020
Currency Fluctuation Effects
The change in net sales and gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 has been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects.

29



Net Sales
Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 1.7% or $23.3 million to $1.36 billion. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, net sales decreased by 1.4% or $19.8 million. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, the net sales decrease was driven by Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, partially offset by an increase in Coach.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 2.2% or $20.6 million to $914.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $935.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 67.3% as compared to 67.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $4.1 million and $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, as discussed in the "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" herein, gross profit decreased 1.8% or $17.1 million to $918.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and gross margin decreased 20 basis points 67.6% from 67.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in gross profit was driven by a decrease in Kate Spade of $13.6 million and Coach of $4.0 million, partially offset by an increase in Stuart Weitzman of $0.5 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company includes inbound product-related transportation costs from our service providers within Cost of sales. The Company, similar to some companies, includes certain transportation-related costs due to our distribution network in SG&A expenses rather than in Cost of sales; for this reason, our gross margins may not be comparable to that of entities that include all costs related to their distribution network in Cost of sales.
SG&A expenses increased 11.6% or $90.1 million to $862.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $772.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 63.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 56.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $110.8 million and $22.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 0.3% or $2.2 million to $752.1 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 55.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 54.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was primarily due to increases in Kate Spade of $13.8 million and Stuart Weitzman of $4.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in Coach of $8.3 million and Corporate expenses of $7.6 million.
Corporate expenses, which are included within SG&A expenses discussed above but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased 21.5% or $21.6 million to $121.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $99.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $37.2 million and $8.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses decreased 8.3% or $7.6 million to $84.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $91.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by the reversal of an accrual related to estimated contingent acquisition payments and lower compensation expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased 68.2% or $110.7 million to $51.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $162.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Operating margin was 3.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 11.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $114.9 million and $23.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, operating income decreased 10.3% or $19.3 million to $166.5 million from $185.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin decreased 110 basis points to 12.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 13.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by decreases within Kate Spade of $27.4 million and Stuart Weitzman of $3.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate expenses of $7.6 million and increases within Coach of $4.3 million.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased 6.1% or $0.8 million to $12.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $13.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense increased $8.1 million to $12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $4.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in other expense is related to an increase in foreign exchange loss.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 24.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 15.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, the effective tax rate was 19.6% in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to 15.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to excess tax shortfall related to the vesting of equity compensation awards during the period, partially offset by the geographic mix of earnings.

30



Net Income
Net income decreased $102.3 million to $20.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $122.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income decreased 19.6% or $27.7 million to $113.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $141.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower operating income and higher other expense.
Net Income per Share
Net income per diluted share decreased to $0.07 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $0.42 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income per diluted share decreased 17.8% or $0.08 to $0.40 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $0.48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower net income, partially offset by lower shares outstanding due to share repurchases.
Segment Performance - First Quarter of Fiscal 2020
The following tables summarize results of operations by reportable segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. All percentages shown in the tables below and the discussion that follows have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

Coach Net Sales increased 0.5% or $5.2 million to $965.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 0.8% or $8.1 million. Comparable store sales increased by $9.9 million or approximately 1% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, including a benefit of approximately 1% driven by an increase in global e-commerce. The increase in comparable store sales was primarily led by increases in Other Asia, including Japan, mainland China and Europe, primarily driven by conversion. Comparable store sales were negatively impacted by approximately 100 basis points due to Hong Kong protests. Non-comparable store sales increased $3.9 million primarily due to increases in Greater China and North America, partially offset by declines in Other Asia. These increases were partially offset by declines of $5.3 million in wholesale sales.
Coach Gross Profit decreased 0.3% or $2.1 million to $677.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $679.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 70.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 70.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP adjustments of $0.1 million and $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, gross profit decreased 0.6% or $4.0 million to $677.7 million from $681.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and gross margin decreased 80 basis points to 70.2% from 71.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currency in both periods, gross margin decreased 30 basis points.
Coach SG&A Expenses increased 7.5% or $33.5 million to $478.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $444.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 49.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 46.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $41.8 million first quarter of fiscal 2020, SG&A expenses decreased 1.9% or $8.3 million to $436.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased, to 45.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 46.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease of $8.3 million was primarily due to timing of store-related and marketing expenses.
Coach Operating Income decreased 15.2% or $35.6 million to $199.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of 20.7%, as compared to $235.1 million and 24.5%, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Coach operating income increased 1.8% or $4.3 million to $241.4 million from $237.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin was 25.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 24.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in operating income was primarily due to lower SG&A expenses partially offset by lower gross profit.

Kate Spade Net Sales decreased 6.1% or $19.9 million to $305.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 6.3% or $20.4 million. Comparable store sales decreased by $40.8 million or approximately 16% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, including a negative impact of approximately 2% in global e-commerce. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in traffic in North America. This was partially offset by an increase in non-comparable store sales of $15.5 million primarily related to new store openings and the direct ownership of the businesses in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.
Kate Spade Gross Profit decreased 7.8% or $16.2 million to $191.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $207.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 62.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 63.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP adjustments of $1.2 million and $(1.4) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, gross profit decreased 6.6% or $13.6 million to $192.7 million from $206.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 63.1% from 63.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Kate Spade SG&A Expenses increased 21.9% or $35.7 million to $198.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $163.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 65.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 50.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $25.3 million and $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 8.7% or $13.8 million to $173.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased, to 56.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 49.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase of $13.8 million was due to new store openings and increased marketing expenses.
Kate Spade Operating Income decreased $51.9 million to an operating loss of $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of (2.4)%, as compared to an operating income of $44.7 million and operating margin of 13.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Kate Spade operating income decreased 58.7% or $27.4 million to $19.3 million from $46.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin was 6.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 14.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in operating income was due to higher SG&A expenses and lower gross profit.

Stuart Weitzman Net Sales decreased 9.0% or $8.6 million to $86.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 7.9% or $7.5 million. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in wholesale sales of $19.5 million primarily due a decline in wholesale demand attributable to trailing impacts of the supply chain operational challenges. This is partially offset by an increase of $12.0 million in the retail business, primarily attributable to new store openings in Greater China and the direct ownership of the business in Australia.

32



Stuart Weitzman Gross Profit decreased 4.8% or $2.3 million to $45.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $47.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin increased 230 basis points to 52.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 50.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Stuart Weitzman gross profit increased 1.0% or $0.5 million to $48.2 million from $47.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and gross margin increased 550 basis points to 55.7% from 50.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross margin increased 420 basis points primarily due to favorable channel mix.
Stuart Weitzman SG&A Expenses decreased 1.2% or $0.7 million to $64.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $65.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 74.8% during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 68.8% during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $6.5 million and $11.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 7.8% or $4.3 million to $58.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $53.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 67.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from 56.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase of $4.3 million was primarily due to new store openings in Greater China and direct ownership of the business in Australia, partially offset by a reduction in wholesale selling expenses and headquarters compensation.
Stuart Weitzman Operating Loss increased 8.6% or $1.6 million to $19.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of (22.2)%, as compared to an operating loss of $17.7 million and operating margin of (18.6)% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Stuart Weitzman operating loss increased 59.6% or $3.8 million to $10.0 million from an operating loss of $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin was (11.5)% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to (6.6)% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was due to higher SG&A expenses partially offset by a higher gross profit.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The reported gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, provision for income taxes, net income and earnings per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 reflect certain items, including the impact of the ERP Implementation, Organization-related and Integration and Acquisition costs in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 and Impairment charges in fiscal 2020. As a supplement to the Company's reported results, these metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the impact of these items, along with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Comparable store sales reflects sales performance at stores that have been open for at least 12 months, and includes sales from the Internet. The Company excludes new stores, including newly acquired locations, from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operation. The Company excludes closed stores from the calculation. Comparable store sales have not been adjusted for store expansions.
These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s internal management reporting excluded these items. In addition, the human resources committee of the Company’s Board uses these non-GAAP measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.
The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues and profit. Accordingly, certain material increases and decreases in operating results for the Company and its segments have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects. These effects occur from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars and comparing to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency revenue results by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year period's currency conversion rate.
We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, we believe presenting certain increases and decreases in constant currency provides a framework for assessing the performance of the Company's business outside the United States and helps investors and analysts understand the effect of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations. We believe excluding these items assists investors and others in developing expectations of future performance.
By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
For a detailed discussion on these non-GAAP measures, see Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $447.1 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 as compared to a decrease of $338.7 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, as discussed below.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $24.8 million due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $92.6 million and higher non-cash adjustments of $34.5 million, partially offset by lower net income of $102.3 million.
The $92.6 million increase in changes in operating asset and liability balances was primarily driven by the following:
Other assets were a use of cash of $17.9 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $81.7 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, primarily related to the timing of tax payments.
Accrued liabilities were a use of cash of $14.1 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 as compared to a use of cash of $65.7 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by the timing of payments related to share repurchases.
Inventories were a use of cash of $116.7 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $150.7 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by lower in-transit inventory and decreased inventory purchases for Kate Spade.
Accounts payable was a source of cash of $37.1 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 as compared to a source of cash of $23.4 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by the timing of inventory payments for Coach and decreased inventory purchases for Kate Spade.
Accounts receivable were a use of cash of $38.1 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 compared to a source of cash of $25.5 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by timing of wholesale shipments.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 was $73.6 million as compared to a use of cash of $223.0 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, resulting in a $149.4 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities.
The $73.6 million use of cash in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 is primarily due to capital expenditures of $71.9 million.
The $223.0 million use of cash in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019 is primarily due net cash used for purchases, maturities and sales of investments of $152.1 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019 and capital expenditures of $55.2 million.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $377.4 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 as compared to a use of cash of $94.3 million in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019, resulting in a net decrease in cash of $283.1 million.
The $377.4 million of cash used in the first three months ended of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to repurchases of common stock of 267.0 million and dividend payments of $96.8 million.

35



The $94.3 million use of cash in the first three months ended of fiscal 2019 was primarily due to dividend payments of $97.2 million.

(1) 
As of September 28, 2019, approximately 62% of our cash and short-term investments were held outside the United States. The Company will likely repatriate some portion of available foreign cash in the foreseeable future, and has recorded deferred taxes on certain earnings of non-US subsidiaries that are deemed likely to be repatriated.
(2) 
In May 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank 47 market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 28, 2019. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," and Note 17, "Subsequent Event," for further information on our existing debt instruments.
(3) In March 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Furthermore, in June 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505% of par (the "2022 Senior Notes"), and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2027 at 99.858% of par (the "2027 Senior Notes"). Furthermore, the indentures for the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes contain certain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) merge, or consolidate or transfer, sell or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of September 28, 2019, no known events of default have occurred. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.
We believe that our Revolving Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentrations in any one financial institution. As of September 28, 2019, there were 13 financial institutions participating in the Revolving Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a combined maximum commitment percentage in excess of 13%.
On October 24, 2019, the Company refinanced and replaced its existing $900.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with a new $900.0 million revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"). The New Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of October 24, 2024 and redefines certain terms within the existing Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. As a result of the amendment, there were 12 financial institutions participating in the New Revolving Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a combined maximum commitment percentage in excess of 14%. We have no reason to believe at this time that the participating institutions in the New Revolving Credit Facility will be unable to fulfill their obligations to

36



provide financing in accordance with the terms in the event we elect to draw funds in the foreseeable future. Refer to Note 17, "Subsequent Event," for further information.
We have the ability to draw on our credit facilities or access other sources of financing options available to us in the credit and capital markets for, among other things, acquisition or integration-related costs, our restructuring initiatives, settlement of a material contingency, or a material adverse business or macroeconomic development, as well as for other general corporate business purposes.
Management believes that cash flows from operations, access to the credit and capital markets and our credit lines, on-hand cash and cash equivalents and our investments provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for fiscal 2020, including our plans for further investment in our brands, while returning capital to shareholders through our dividend and share repurchase programs. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources. The Company expects total fiscal 2020 capital expenditures to be approximately $300 million.
Seasonality
The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we build inventory for the holiday selling season. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as we generate higher net sales and operating income, especially during the holiday months of November and December. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales, operating income and operating cash flows for the three months ended September 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of that expected for the full fiscal 2020. However, fluctuations in net sales, operating income and operating cash flows of the Company in any fiscal quarter may be affected by the timing of wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales, including adverse weather conditions or other macroeconomic events.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2019 10-K. Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts.
For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our fiscal 2019 10-K. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we adopted new lease accounting guidance which resulted in certain changes to our accounting policies. Refer to Note 9, "Leases," for additional information about our accounting policies and estimates. As of September 28, 2019, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies other than the changes mentioned above.
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill as well as brand intangibles at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determined that there was no impairment in fiscal 2019. In all fiscal years, the fair values of our Coach brand reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. The fair values of the Kate Spade brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand as of the fiscal 2019 testing date exceeded their respective carrying values by approximately 21% and 61%, respectively. Furthermore, the fair values of the Stuart Weitzman brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand exceeded their respective carrying values by approximately 11% and 62%, respectively. As of September 28, 2019, the carrying values of Stuart Weitzman goodwill and indefinite-lived brand are $211.6 million and $267.0 million, respectively. The Company has concluded that all the intangible assets are not impaired as of September 28, 2019. Several factors could impact the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands' ability to achieve expected future cash flows, including the management of the supply chain operational challenges at Stuart Weitzman, reception of new collections in all channels, the success of international expansion strategies including the consolidation or integration of certain distributor relationships, the optimization of the store fleet productivity, the impact of promotional activity in department stores, the simplification of certain corporate overhead structures and other initiatives aimed at expanding higher performing categories of the business. Given the relatively small excess of fair value over carrying value as noted above, if profitability trends decline during fiscal 2020 from those that are expected, it is possible that an interim test, or our annual impairment test, could result in an impairment of these assets.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with the Company's risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The quantitative disclosures in the following discussion are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our foreign currency exchange risk is limited. The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its operating subsidiaries’ transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To mitigate such risk, certain subsidiaries enter into forward currency contracts. As of September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019, forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $450.0 million and $398.4 million, respectively, were outstanding. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to the derivative instruments will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into derivative contracts with carefully selected financial institutions. The Company also reviews the creditworthiness of our counterparties on a regular basis. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to any undue concentration of counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts as of September 28, 2019.
The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans and payables. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi and the British Pound Sterling. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019 the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans were $150.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019 was $4.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019 was $6.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A sensitivity analysis of the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the fair values of our derivative contracts was performed to assess the risk of loss.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its New Revolving Credit Facility entered into under the credit agreement dated October 24, 2019, the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes") and investments. The Company was also exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility, which was terminated on October 24, 2019.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to (i) debt outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility entered into on October 24, 2019. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as set forth in the credit agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the Senior Notes. At September 28, 2019, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $627 million, $402 million and $610 million, respectively. At June 29, 2019, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $630 million, $399 million and $606 million, respectively. These fair values are based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate payable on the 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement furnished with the SEC on June 7, 2017), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the respective Senior Notes of such series.
The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which defines our investment principles including credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 28, 2019.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02. As such, the Company implemented new controls and modifications to existing accounting processes related to lease accounting. These changes include the upgrade to a new lease accounting system and introduction of processes to evaluate and account for lease contracts under the new accounting standard.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed the first phase of its ERP implementation, SAP’s S4/HANA, migrating the global finance functions for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. The finance and supply chain functions were implemented for Kate Spade during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, with the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. As a result of the implementations to date, there were certain changes to processes and procedures, which resulted in changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The implementation of SAP’s S4/HANA is expected to strengthen the financial controls by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across the organization. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the internal controls over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. Other than the ERP system implementation and adoption of the new lease accounting standard noted above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Tapestry's intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the Company’s control, and litigation with present or former employees.
As part of Tapestry Inc.’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Company files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Tapestry may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Tapestry’s intellectual properties.
Although the Company’s litigation as a defendant is routine and incidental to the conduct of Tapestry’s business, as well as for any business of its size, such litigation can result in large monetary awards, such as when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages.
The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material effect on the Company's business or condensed consolidated financial statements.
Tapestry has not entered into any transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. Accordingly, we have not been required to pay a penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.
