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 17 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and for the three and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and October 1,December 31, 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 and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and October 1,December 31, 2022 are based on 13-week and 26-week39-week periods, respectively. The Company’s Fiscal Year 2024 is a 52-week period ending March 30, 2024.
2. Merger Agreement

3. 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023 are credit card receivables of $29$33 million and $22 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.
A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):

The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory, net, recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $46 million and $47 million as of both SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023.2023, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.
The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including a description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 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 (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchasefor purchases 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
10


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 adjustments (“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, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.
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 (gain) 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 SeptemberOctober 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.amounts. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through October 2027.December 2028. 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.

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):

4. 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 pattern 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, was $15 million and $14 million as of SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Loyalty Program. The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors North America 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.

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 $10$11 million and $8 million as of SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The Company had credit losses of $1 million and $2$3 million for the three and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, andrespectively.

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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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
18


entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility.

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.

Senior Notes
On October 20, 2017, Michael Kors (USA), Inc. (the “Issuer”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, completed its offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount senior notes due November 1, 2024 (the “Senior Notes”), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated October 20, 2017, among the Issuer, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”).

The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by the Company and its existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee or are borrowers under the 2022 Credit Facility (subject to certain exceptions, including subsidiaries organized in China). The Senior Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a “make-whole” amount calculated at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.
The Indenture contains covenants, including those that limit the Company’s ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In the event of a “Change of Control Triggering Event,” as defined in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
20


aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes being repurchased plus any unpaid interest. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions, as per the Indenture.
As of both SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the carrying value of the Senior Notes was $449 million, net of issuance costs and unamortized discount of $1 million, which were recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.sheets, respectively.
Versace Facilities
During Fiscal 2022, the Company's subsidiary, Versace, entered into an agreement with Banco BPM Banking Group debt (“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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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.
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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023 was $14$11 million and $4 million, respectively, and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

12. 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.

21


At SeptemberDecember 30, 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 prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities of the Company.Company and based on the maturity date of each individual hedge contract to classify as either short-term or long-term assets or liabilities. See Note 13 for further detail.
All contracts are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as shown in the following table (in millions):

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,facilities, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. See Note 10 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):

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.

13. 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. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company modified these fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.5 billion to utilize additional CHF capacity and further hedge its investment in 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%. The increase in CHF.interest received from the CHF notional amounts will be offset by interest expense related to the financing component of this modification. 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
22


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.
23


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 agreement with an aggregate notional amount of €150 million to hedge its net investment in British Pound (“GBP”) denominated subsidiaries (the “GBP/EUR Net Investment Hedges”). As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 $25$26 million and $40$66 million during the three and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded interest income of $11$4 million and $28$32 million during the three and sixnine months ended October 1,December 31, 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, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 (gain) 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 lossgain of $7$2 million and a foreign currency gain of $21$23 million during the three and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, respectively.

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 designated as fair value hedges and associated with cross-currency intercompany loans are recognized within foreign currency (gain) 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’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 was 11.3%. This rate differs from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 25% primarily due to the favorable impact of global financing activities and the release of valuation allowance on Korean deferred tax assets during the nine months ended December 30, 2023
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended October 1,December 31, 2022 was 13.5%1.3% and 12.9%9.2%, respectively.

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 and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023.
17. Segment Information
The Company operates its business through three operating segments — Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors, which are based on its business activities and organization. The reportable segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are revenue and operating income for each segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies.
The Company’s three reportable segments are as follows:
Versace — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Versace luxury ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Versace trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Versace branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.
Jimmy Choo — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury footwear, handbags and small leather goods and accessories through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through its e-commerce sites, as well as through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of fragrances and eyewear.
Michael Kors — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which the Company sells Michael Kors products, as well as licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia. The Company also sells Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops, and to its geographic licensees. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear.
29


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 mergerMerger related costs, impairment charges, the impact of the war in Ukraine, restructuring and other expense (income) 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.

18. Subsequent Events
On February 7, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Global Optimization Plan in order to streamline the Company’s operating model, maximize efficiency and support long-term profitable growth. As part of the Global Optimization Plan, the Company anticipates global headcount reductions and the closure of approximately 100 of its retail stores over the next 18 months. The Company also expects to record estimated one-time restructuring charges of approximately $30 million to $40 million, of which approximately $30 million to $35 million will be cash charges related to organizational efficiency initiatives, which consist primarily of severance and employee-related costs. The Company anticipates that up to $5 million of the restructuring charges will be related to lease termination and other store closure costs. Approximately $25 million to $30 million in pre-tax restructuring charges will be recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

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 secondthird quarter of Fiscal 2024, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the premium 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 COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in varying degrees of business disruption for our industry, including us, since it began at the end of fiscalFiscal 2020. Our 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. Government restrictions have since been lifted in the Greater China region. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact during the first nine months of Fiscal 2024 and is not expected to have a significant impact for the remainder of the fiscal year. We continue to monitor the latest developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and potential impacts on our business, operating results and outlook.
Luxury goods trends and demand for 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.years. 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.
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
3233


reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.
Implementing and updating information technology systems. During Fiscal 2024, we began implementing a new state of the art e-commerce platform across our brands which is expected to continue through Fiscal 2025. While the new platform is designed to improve the user experience and enhance consumer engagement, the transition created unanticipated challenges which have negatively impacted our results of operations. The continued implementation of this platform may also negatively impact our future results of operations. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors” — “A material delay or disruption in our information technology systems or e-commerce websites or our failure or inability to upgrade our information technology systems precisely and efficiently could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 for additional discussion.

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 3 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.

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 $90$139 million on capital expenditures during the sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 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. From Fiscal 2024 through Fiscal 2026, we expect expenditures of 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.

As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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.

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, net investment hedges, and fair value hedges to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. 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, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $236$270 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between September 2024 and June 2028.
As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $106$110 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2028 and August 2030.
As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $30$33 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and April 2027.
As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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
5051


payments on GBP notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0% in Euro. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately £93£94 million (approximately $113$120 million) in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between November 2024 and November 2027.
As of SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $33$35 million in the fair value of these contracts. These contracts have maturity dates between May 2027 and February 2051. In addition, certain other contracts are supported by a credit support annex (“CSA”) which provides for collateral exchange with the earliest effective date being September 2027. If the outstanding position of a contract exceeds a certain threshold governed by the aforementioned CSA’s, either party is required to post cash collateral.
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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately £83 million (approximately $101$106 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 10 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 2023, we had $1.143 billion$874 million borrowings outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility, $475$496 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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 SeptemberDecember 30, 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Ordinary Course Litigation. We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Merger-Related Litigation. In connection with the Merger Agreement, a number of complaints have been filed in federal and state court as individual actions, which we refer to collectively as the “Complaints”. The Complaints allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by Capri on September 8, 2023 in connection with the Merger Agreement (the “Preliminary Proxy”) or the definitive proxy statement filed by Capri on September 20, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy,” and together with the Preliminary Proxy, the “Merger Proxy”), as applicable, misrepresents and/or omits certain purportedly material information. The Complaints also assert violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against Capri and the Board of Directors. The Complaints seek, among other things: (i) an injunction enjoining the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated; (iii) direction that defendants account for all damages suffered as a result of any wrongdoing; (iv) costs of the action, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ and expert fees and expenses; and (v) other relief the court may deem just and proper. In addition to the Complaints, purported shareholders of Capri have sent demand letters (which we refer to as the “Demands,” and together with the Complaints, the “Matters”) alleging similar deficiencies regarding the disclosures made in the Merger Proxy. However, in order to avoid the risk that the Matters delay or otherwise adversely affect the Merger, and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Capri provided supplemental disclosures to the Merger Proxy in Capri's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 17, 2023. Capri management believes that the Matters are without merit. Capri cannot provide assurance regarding the outcomes of the Matters and may be subject to additional demands or filed actions. If additional similar complaints or demands are filed or sent, absent new or significantly different allegations, Capri will not necessarily disclose such additional filings or demands.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item IA. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2023 as supplemented by the risk factors included in Part I, Item IA. Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2023.

Accordingly, we did not repurchase any of our ordinary shares during the three months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2023 pursuant to the Existing Share Repurchase Plan, and we do not expect to repurchase any of our ordinary shares in connection with the Existing Share Repurchase Plan prior to the Merger or earlier termination of the Merger Agreement, except withhold to cover, which these shares relate to.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

(a) On February 7, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Global Optimization Plan in order to streamline the Company’s operating model, maximize efficiency and support long-term profitable growth. As part of the Global Optimization Plan, the Company anticipates global headcount reductions and the closure of approximately 100 of its retail stores over the next 18 months. In Fiscal 2025, it is expected that this initiative will generate net cost savings of approximately $80 million to $90 million. The Company also expects to record estimated one-time restructuring charges of approximately $30 million to $40 million, of which approximately $30 million to $35 million will be cash charges related to organizational efficiency initiatives, which consist primarily of severance and employee-related costs. The Company anticipates that up to $5 million of the restructuring charges will be related to lease termination and other store closure costs. Approximately $25 million to $30 million in pre-tax restructuring charges will be recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

These estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur costs not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the Global Optimization Plan.

The exact amounts or range of amounts and timing of the Global Optimization Plan charges and future cash expenditures associated therewith are undeterminable at this time. The Company will either disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, or disclose in another periodic filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the amount of any material charges relating to the Global Optimization Plan by major type of cost once such amounts or range of amounts are determinable.

This disclosure is intended to satisfy the requirements of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K.
(c) During the quarterly period ended December 30, 2023, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
