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

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements as of December 25, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 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 March 27, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2021, 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 nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 are based on 13-week and 39-week periods, respectively. The Company’s Fiscal Year 2022 is a 53-week period ending April 2, 2022.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Seasonality

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

COVID-19 Related Government Assistance and Subsidies

During the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, the Company recorded $2 million and $9 million, respectively, related to government assistance and subsidies. During the three and nine months ended and December 26, 2020, the Company recorded $5 million and $28 million, respectively, related to government assistance and subsidies. These amounts mostly relate to rent support and payroll expense and were primarily recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses.

8

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 December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 are credit card receivables of $44 million and $25 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.

A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):

	December 25, 2021		March 27, 2021
Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents	$	261	$	232
Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets	3		2
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	264	$	234

Inventories, net

Inventories primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process inventory. The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory, net, recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $28 million as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021.

The net realizable value of the Company’s inventory as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 includes the adverse impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item within cash flows from operating activities.

The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.

9

Net Investment Hedges

The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollars and the associated foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, and has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest (income) 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.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of its cash flows resulting from floating interest rates on the Company’s borrowings. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest (income) expense, net, in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company terminated its only interest rate swap. As a result, the Company recognized a $1 million gain within interest (income) expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Leases

The Company leases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual rent and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through December 2025. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its restructuring activities. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.

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

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

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

During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company recorded $13 million and $37 million, respectively, of rent concessions negotiated in connection with the impact of COVID-19 as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. The aforementioned rent concessions were recorded as a reduction to variable lease expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net Income per Share

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

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

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020		December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020

During the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, share equivalents of 208,168 shares and 411,394 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the above calculations due to their anti-dilutive effect. Share equivalents of 4,269,343 shares and 4,540,029 shares have been excluded from the above calculations for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

See Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 for a complete disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Government Assistance Disclosures

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-10, “Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance”, which requires all business entities provide annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. These disclosures include providing the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, the amounts and financial statement line items impacted by these transactions, and the significant terms and conditions of these transactions, including commitments and contingencies related to such transactions. ASU 2021-10 is effective for the Company beginning in its Fiscal 2023 with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-10 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 and will continue to utilize the grant accounting model.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and in January 2021, issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope”. Both of these updates aim to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. These updates provide optional expedients and exceptions, if certain criteria are met, for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendments were effective upon issuance and allow companies to adopt the amendments on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company has not applied this ASU to any contract modifications or new hedging relationships in the current year. As of December 25, 2021, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan Facility of $495 million and the total availability of $1 billion under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility are both indexed to LIBOR. As such, these agreements are likely to be impacted by these ASUs upon adoption.

3. Revenue Recognition

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

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

12

Retail

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

Gift Cards. The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed for merchandise, resulting in a contract liability upon issuance. Revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed or upon “breakage” for the estimated portion of gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed. “Breakage” revenue is calculated under the proportional redemption methodology, which considers the historical patterns of redemption in jurisdictions where the Company is not required to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards as unclaimed property. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage”, of $15 million and $12 million as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, 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 U.S. customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed.

Wholesale

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

Licensing

The Company provides its third-party licensees with the right to access its Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors trademarks under product and geographic licensing arrangements. Under geographic licensing arrangements, third party licensees receive the right to distribute and sell products bearing the Company’s trademarks in retail and/or wholesale channels within certain geographical areas, including Brazil, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South Africa and certain parts of Asia.

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

As of December 25, 2021, contractually guaranteed minimum fees from the Company’s license agreements expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows (in millions):

	Contractually Guaranteed Minimum Fees
Remainder of Fiscal 2022	$	7
Fiscal 2023	29
Fiscal 2024	26
Fiscal 2025	23
Fiscal 2026	23
Fiscal 2027 and thereafter	73
Total	$	181

Sales Returns

The refund liability recorded as of December 25, 2021 was $65 million, and the related asset for the right to recover returned product as of December 25, 2021 was $19 million. The refund liability recorded as of March 27, 2021 was $46 million, and the related asset for the right to recover returned product as of March 27, 2021 was $14 million.

13

Contract Balances

Total contract liabilities were $21 million and $18 million as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, the Company recognized $1 million and $9 million, respectively, in revenue which related to contract liabilities that existed at March 27, 2021. For the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company recognized $2 million and $7 million, respectively, in revenue which related to contract liabilities that existed at March 28, 2020. There were no material contract assets recorded as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021.

There were no changes in historical variable consideration estimates that were materially different from actual results.

(1)As of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, $97 million and $81 million, respectively, of trade receivables were insured.

14

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 collectability 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 $15 million and $25 million as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively, including the impact related to COVID-19. The Company had $3 million of credit losses for the three months ended December 25, 2021 and $2 million for the nine months ended December 25, 2021.

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its third amended and restated credit facility, dated as of November 15, 2018 (as amended, the “2018 Credit Facility”), with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility required it to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00 had been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021.

In addition, the Second Amendment added a new $230 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of June 24, 2021 (the “364 Day Facility”).

The Second Amendment also permitted certain working capital facilities between the Company or any of its subsidiaries with a lender or an affiliate of a lender under the 2018 Credit Facility to be guaranteed under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and certain supply chain financings with, and up to $50 million outstanding principal amount of bilateral letters of credit and bilateral bank guarantees issued by a lender or an affiliate of a lender to be guaranteed and secured under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and collateral documents. The Second Amendment, among other things, also temporarily suspended the quarterly maximum leverage ratio covenant and imposed a minimum liquidity test during the period from June 25, 2020 until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company delivers its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021 and (y) the date on which the Company certifies that its net leverage ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter was no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (the “Applicable Period”).

On May 20, 2021, the Company determined it no longer desired to maintain this additional line of credit and consequently delivered a notice to the administrative agent terminating the 364 Day Facility, and the 364 Day Facility terminated on May 25, 2021. The remainder of the 2018 Credit Facility remains in full force and effect.

18

On May 26, 2021 (the “Election Date”), the Company delivered to the administrative agent the certificate required to terminate the Applicable Period. Effective as of the Election Date, the Company will be required to comply with the quarterly maximum net leverage ratio test of 4.00 to 1.00.

On September 23, 2021, the Company agreed to suspend its rights to borrow in all non-U.S. Dollar (i.e. Pounds Sterling, Euro, Swiss Francs and Japanese Yen) currency LIBOR rate tenors under the 2018 Credit Facility after December 31, 2021 given that non-U.S. Dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after that date.

As of December 25, 2021, and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.

As of December 25, 2021, the Company had $20 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and no borrowings outstanding as of March 27, 2021. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $29 million and $27 million were outstanding as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively. At December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility were $951 million and $973 million, respectively.

As of December 25, 2021, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility was $495 million, which was all recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets due to prepayments made on the Term Loan during Fiscal 2022. As of March 27, 2021, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility was $865 million, of which $97 million was recorded within short-term debt and $768 million was recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets.

During Fiscal 2021, the Company began offering a supplier financing program to certain suppliers as the Company continues to identify opportunities to improve liquidity. This program enables suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations, including the amount due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by a suppliers’ decision to participate in this program. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur to participate in the program and their participation is voluntary. The amount outstanding under this program as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 was $18 million and $17 million, respectively, and was recorded within short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company's subsidiary, Versace, entered into an agreement with Banco BPM Banking Group (“the Bank”) to sell certain tax receivables to the Bank in exchange for cash. As of December 25, 2021, the outstanding balance was $18 million, with $8 million and $10 million recorded within short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

See Note 12 to the Company’s Fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s credit facilities and debt obligations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

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

Please refer to the Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments disclosure within the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 for a detailed disclosure of other commitments and contractual obligations as of March 27, 2021.

11. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

At December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, 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 values of net investment hedges and interest rate swaps are included in other assets, and in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities of the Company. See Note 12 for further detail.

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

	Fair value at December 25, 2021 using:						Fair value at March 27, 2021 using:
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

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

	December 25, 2021				March 27, 2021
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Senior Notes due 2024	$	448	$	473	$	447	$	470
Term Loan	$	495	$	489	$	865	$	866
Revolving Credit Facilities	$	20	$	20	$	—	$	—

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

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

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

21

The Company recorded $10 million and $43 million in impairment charges during the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded $91 million and $113 million in impairment charges during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. The following table details the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s assets that have been impaired during the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended December 25, 2021						Nine Months Ended December 25, 2021
	Carrying Value Prior to Impairment		Fair Value		Impairment Charge (1)		Carrying Value Prior to Impairment		Fair Value		Impairment Charge (1)

Includes $1 million and $3 million of impairment charges that were recorded within restructuring and other charges related to the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

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

Net Investment Hedges

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $2.875 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries (“First Quarter Modifications”).

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.5 billion. The modification of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $59 million in cash during the third quarter of Fiscal 2022. This amount is classified within investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

22

Certain of these contracts are supported by a credit support annex (“CSA”) which provides for collateral exchange with the earliest effective date being November 2023. 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. Due to an other-than-insignificant financing element for certain of First Quarter Modifications, the net interest cash inflows of $31 million during the nine months ended December 25, 2021 related to these contracts are classified as financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of December 25, 2021, the Company had multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $4 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries and $194 million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 4.457% in Euros and 0% to 3.408% in Japanese Yen. Certain of these contracts include mandatory early termination dates between August 2025 and February 2026, while the remaining contracts have maturity dates between May 2024 and February 2051. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.

When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Company recorded interest income of $17 million and $44 million during the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded interest income of $6 million and $8 million during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. This change from prior year is primarily due to the Company having higher average notional amounts outstanding on these hedges during the current period.

Interest Rate Swap

The Company had an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $500 million that would have decreased to $350 million in April 2022. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge designed to mitigate the impact of adverse interest rate fluctuations for a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt equal to the notional amount of the swap. The interest rate swap converted the one-month adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 0.237% through the date of termination.

When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of net interest expense related to this agreement.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company terminated its only interest rate swap. As a result, the Company recognized a $1 million gain within interest (income) expense, net, within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

23

The following table details the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, which are recorded on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 (in millions):

					Fair Values
	Notional Amounts				Assets						Liabilities
	December 25, 2021		March 27, 2021		December 25, 2021			March 27, 2021			December 25, 2021			March 27, 2021
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	124	$	155	$	6	(1)	$	2	(1)	$	—		$	1	(2)
Net investment hedges	4,194		3,194		40		(3)	3		(3)	24		(4)	263		(4)

Total	$	4,341	$	3,862	$	47		$	5		$	24		$	265

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

(2)Recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

(5)Represents undesignated hedges of inventory purchases.

The Company records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, as shown in the previous table. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances for its derivative instruments on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting arrangements, which provide for the right to set-off amounts for similar transactions denominated in the same currencies, the resulting impact as of December 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021 would be as follows (in millions):

	Forward Currency Exchange Contracts				Net Investment Hedges				Interest Rate Swaps
	December 25, 2021		March 27, 2021		December 25, 2021		March 27, 2021		December 25, 2021		March 27, 2021
Assets subject to master netting arrangements	$	7	$	2	$	40	$	3	$	—	$	—
Liabilities subject to master netting arrangements	$	—	$	1	$	24	$	263	$	—	$	1
Derivative assets, net	$	7	$	1	$	25	$	3	$	—	$	—
Derivative liabilities, net	$	—	$	—	$	9	$	263	$	—	$	1

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 foreign currency translation gains and losses (“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 investment is sold or liquidated. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps 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 interest expense within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

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

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020		December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
	Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Losses Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Gains Recognized in OCI		Pre-Tax Losses Recognized in OCI

Designated net investment hedges	$	155	$	(220)	$	327	$	(262)
Designated interest rate swaps	$	1	$	—	$	1	$	(1)

The following tables summarize the pre-tax impact of the gains and losses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income related to the designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	Pre-Tax Gain Reclassified from Accumulated OCI				Location of Gain Recognized
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
Designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	(1)	Cost of goods sold

	Nine Months Ended
	Pre-Tax Loss (Gain) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI				Location of Loss (Gain) Recognized
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
Designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	2	$	(4)	Cost of goods sold

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

Undesignated Hedges

During the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, a $1 million gain was recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a result of the changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, a loss of $2 million was recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a result of the changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

13. Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

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

25

During the nine months ended December 25, 2021, the Company purchased 5,934,244 shares for a total cost of approximately $350 million including commissions, through open market transactions, with 2,712,275 shares purchased for a total cost of $150 million including commissions under the Prior Plan and 3,221,969 shares purchased for a total cost of $200 million including commissions under the Fiscal 2022 Plan. As of December 25, 2021, the remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program was $800 million.

During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company did not purchase any shares through open market transaction as the Company’s share repurchase plan was suspended at that time.

Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading transactions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During the nine month periods ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company withheld 193,322 shares and 48,147 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $10 million and $1 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table details changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of taxes, for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively (in millions):

	Foreign Currency Adjustments (1)		Net (Losses) Gains on Derivatives (2)		Other Comprehensive Income Attributable to Capri
Balance at March 27, 2021	$	57	$	(1)	$	56
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications	148		7		155
Less: amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings	—		(2)		(2)
Other comprehensive income, net of tax	148		9		157
Balance at December 25, 2021	$	205	$	8	$	213
Balance at March 28, 2020	$	72	$	3	$	75
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications	26		(7)		19
Less: amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings	—		3		3
Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax	26		(10)		16
Balance at December 26, 2020	$	98	$	(7)	$	91

(1)Foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 primarily include a $249 million gain, net of taxes of $78 million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges, and a net $102 million translation loss. Foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 primarily include a $198 million translation loss, net of taxes of $64 million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges, which was offset by a net $227 million translation gain.

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

14. Share-Based Compensation

The Company grants equity awards to certain employees and directors of the Company at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation and Talent Committee. The Company has two equity plans, one stock option plan adopted in Fiscal 2008 (as amended and restated, the “2008 Plan”), and the Omnibus Incentive Plan adopted in the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012 and amended and restated with shareholder approval in May 2015, and again in June 2020 (the “Incentive Plan”). The 2008 Plan only provided for grants of share options and was authorized to issue up to 23,980,823 ordinary shares. As of December 25, 2021, there were no shares available to grant equity awards under the 2008 Plan.

The Incentive Plan allows for grants of share options, restricted shares and RSUs, and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to 18,846,000 ordinary shares after amendments in June 2020. At December 25, 2021, there were 3,951,587 ordinary shares available for future grants of equity awards under the Incentive Plan. Option grants issued from the 2008 Plan generally expire ten years from the date of the grant, and those issued under the Incentive Plan generally expire seven years from the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity during the nine months ended December 25, 2021:

	Options	Service-Based RSUs	Performance-Based RSUs
Outstanding/Unvested at March 27, 2021	1,150,260	4,895,517	581,659
Granted	—	1,678,704	—
Exercised/Vested	(283,076)	(1,804,289)	(347,561)
Change due to performance condition	—	—	26,109
Canceled/Forfeited	(381,602)	(275,969)	—
Outstanding/Unvested at December 25, 2021	485,582	4,493,963	260,207

The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 25, 2021 was $51.75. The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 was $16.72.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes compensation expense attributable to share-based compensation for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020		December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
Share-based compensation expense	$	13	$	12	$	69	$	53
Tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense	$	1	$	2	$	12	$	11

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. The estimated value of future forfeitures for equity grants as of December 25, 2021 is approximately $22 million.

See Note 17 in the Company’s Fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Company’s share-based compensation awards.

27

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 was 5.6% and 6.8%, respectively. Such rates differ from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable effect of a net operating loss carryback claim made in the United States as a result of COVID-19 related losses generated in the prior fiscal year and the impact of global financing activities partially offset by the increases in uncertain tax positions during the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021. The tax rate for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 also benefited from recently enacted tax legislation in Italy which allowed the Company to reduce its deferred tax liabilities by allowing a step up of certain intangible assets resulting in lower future cash taxes partially offset by the impact of tax rate changes in the United Kingdom on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities.

The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements. These debt financing arrangements reside between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Hungarian subsidiaries. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized lower effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021.

16. Segment Information

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

The Company’s three reportable segments are as follows:

•Versace — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Versace luxury accessories, ready-to-wear and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), 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.

28

In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to its brands and, therefore, are not allocated to its segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information system expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transition costs related to the Company’s acquisitions), impairment costs and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s CODM plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.

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

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020		December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
Total revenue:
Versace	$	251	$	195	$	773	$	483

Overview

Our Business

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

Our Versace brand has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading international fashion design houses and is synonymous with Italian glamour and style. Founded in 1978 in Milan, Versace is known for its iconic and unmistakable style and unparalleled craftsmanship. Over the past several decades, the House of Versace has grown globally from its roots in haute couture, expanding into the design, manufacturing, distribution and retailing of accessories, ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, watches, jewelry, fragrance and home furnishings businesses. Versace’s design team is led by Donatella Versace, who has been the brand’s artistic director for over 20 years. Versace distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, which includes boutiques in some of the world’s most glamorous cities, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.

31

Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range, enabling it to develop into a leading global luxury accessories brand, whose core product offering is women’s luxury shoes, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, scarves and belts, as well as a growing men’s luxury shoes and accessory business. In addition, certain categories, such as fragrances and eyewear, are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the brand since its inception in 1996. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, as well as innovative products that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.

Our Michael Kors brand was launched 40 years ago by Michael Kors, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear company with a global distribution network that has presence in over 100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized luxury fashion brand in the Americas and Europe with growing brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a jet-set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection luxury line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors accessible luxury line and the Michael Kors Mens line. The Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by select retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering footwear and ready-to-wear, and addresses the significant demand opportunity in accessible luxury goods. We have also been developing our men’s business in recognition of the significant opportunity afforded by the Michael Kors brand’s established fashion authority and the expanding men’s market. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic. See Item 1A — “The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 for additional discussion regarding risks to our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Channel shift, macroeconomic factors, and demand for our accessories and related merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, global consumer spending, macroeconomic factors, overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. Through 2019, the personal luxury goods market grew at a 5% rate over the past 20 years, with more recent growth driven by stronger Chinese demand from both international and local consumers and demographic and socioeconomic shifts resulting in younger consumers purchasing more luxury goods. However, in 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the personal luxury goods market declined 23%. Market studies indicate that the personal luxury goods market is predicted to increase at a 10% compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2025, and is expected to have returned to 2019 levels by the end of 2021 or in 2022. Future growth is expected to be driven by e-commerce, Chinese consumers and younger generations. As the personal luxury goods market continues to evolve, Capri is committed to creating engaging luxury experiences globally. In our view, increased customer engagement and tailoring merchandise to customer shopping and communication preferences are key to growing market share.

We also continue to adjust our retail operating strategy to the changing business environment. Last year, we announced our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program to close approximately 170 of our retail stores throughout Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022, in order to improve the profitability of our retail store fleet. Over this time period, we initially expected to incur approximately $75 million of one-time costs associated with these store closures, however, based on a reassessment, we expect these costs to be approximately $25 million. As of December 25, 2021, we have closed a total of 140 stores and recorded net restructuring charges of $11 million relating to the program since its inception. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing savings as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation associated with the impairment charges being recorded.

Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, and those of our non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the U.S. dollar, particularly 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-U.S. subsidiaries in the future, when translated to U.S. Dollars.

Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. We have been experiencing global logistics challenges, including delays as a result of port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures which are expected to continue for the duration of Fiscal 2022 and into Fiscal 2023. Our freight costs have

32

increased as carrier rates for ocean and air shipments have increased significantly, and the supply chain disruptions have caused us to increase our use of air freight with greater frequency than in the past. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including impacts on our supply chain due to temporary closures of our manufacturing partners and shipping and fulfillment constraints, could have a negative impact on our results of operations. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors” — “We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods and our business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities, including disruptions or delays in manufacturing or shipments” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 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. For example, we have historically received benefits from duty-free imports on certain products from certain countries pursuant to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program. The GSP program expired on December 31, 2020. If the GSP program is not renewed or otherwise made retroactive, we will continue to experience significant additional duties and our gross margin will continue to be negatively impacted. Additionally, we are subject to government import regulations, including U.S. 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 U.S. or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business. In addition, commodity prices and tariffs may have an impact on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible and diversifying the countries where we produce. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.

Segment Information

We operate in three reportable segments, which are as follows:

Versace

We generate revenue through the sale of Versace luxury accessories, ready-to-wear and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), certain parts of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (including Australia), as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.

Jimmy Choo

We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through our e-commerce sites, as well as through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo tradename in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including fragrances and eyewear.

Michael Kors

We generate revenue through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce, through which we sell our products, as well as licensed products bearing our name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia. Our Michael Kors e-commerce business includes e-commerce sites in the U.S., Canada and EMEA and Asia. We also sell Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and EMEA, to specialty stores and travel retail shops in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and to our geographic licensees in certain parts of

33

EMEA, Asia and Brazil. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear, as well as through geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors tradename in connection with the retail and/or wholesale sales of our Michael Kors branded products in specific geographic regions.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information systems expenses, including ERP system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transaction and transition costs related to our acquisitions), impairment costs and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. The following table presents our total revenue and income (loss) from operations by segment for the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 (in millions):

Seasonality

We experience certain effects of seasonality with respect to our business. We generally experience greater sales during our third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during our first fiscal quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies are disclosed, in full, in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since March 27, 2021.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $307 million, or 23.6%, to $1.609 billion for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $1.302 billion for the three months ended December 26, 2020, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $15 million, primarily related to the weakening of the Euro and Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar for the three months ended December 25, 2021. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $322 million, or 24.7%. The increase is attributable to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the adverse impacts related to COVID-19 in the prior fiscal year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $200 million, or 23.6%, to $1.048 billion for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $848 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $10 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 65.1% for the three months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. Our gross profit margin remained flat primarily due to a higher average unit price and lower promotional activity, offset by increases in supply chain costs for the three months ended December 25, 2021, as compared to the three months ended December 26, 2020.

37

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $36 million, or 5.3%, to $717 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $681 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $2 million. Total operating expenses decreased to 44.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 52.3% for the three months ended December 26, 2020. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $118 million, or 21.9%, to $656 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $538 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to increased retail store, e-commerce and corporate costs for the three months ended December 25, 2021.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 40.8% for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 41.3% for the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to leveraging of operating expenses as a result of higher revenue, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 25, 2021, as compared to the three months ended December 26, 2020.

Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $8 million, or 27.6%, to $37 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021 as compared to $29 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to an increase in compensation expense and ERP system implementation expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $5 million, or 9.6%, to $47 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $52 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 2.9% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 4.0% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 primarily due to lower revenues during the prior year due to COVID-19.

Impairment of Assets

For the three months ended December 25, 2021, we did not recognize any asset impairment charges except for the amount recorded within restructuring and other charges (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). For the three months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized asset impairment charges of approximately $90 million, primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets across our brands. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and Other Charges

For the three months ended December 25, 2021, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $14 million, which included $10 million related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program and other costs of $4 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

For the three months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $1 million, which included other costs of $5 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace and closures of certain corporate locations, partially offset by $4 million of gains related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program.

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

38

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $164 million, to $331 million for three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $167 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 20.6% for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 12.8% for the three months ended December 26, 2020. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income (loss) to total operating income.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

For the three months ended December 25, 2021, we recognized $7 million of interest income compared to $10 million of interest expense for the three months ended December 26, 2020. The $17 million improvement in interest (income) expense, net, is primarily due to an increase of interest income from higher average notional amounts outstanding and more favorable interest rates on our net investment hedges in the current year and a decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings outstanding (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Currency Gain

For the three months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $4 million and $13 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $19 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to a benefit of $5 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020. Our effective tax rate was 5.6% and (2.9)% for the three months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily related to increases in uncertain tax positions and release of certain valuation allowances in the prior year which were not recurring, partially offset by the favorable effect of a net operating loss carryback claim made in the United States as a result of COVID-19 related losses. See Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the effective tax rate for the current fiscal year quarter.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

For the three months ended December 25, 2021, we recorded net income of $1 million and for the three months ended December 26, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $1 million, attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures. These amounts represent the share of income (loss) that is not attributable to the Company.

Net Income Attributable to Capri

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $143 million to $322 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, compared to a net income of $179 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $1.299 billion, or 45.4%, to $4.162 billion for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $2.863 billion for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of approximately $71 million, primarily related to the strengthening of the British Pound, Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar for the nine months ended December 25, 2021. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $1.228 billion, or 42.9%. The increase is attributable to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the prior fiscal year, the Company experienced widespread, temporary store closures and a significant decline in store traffic.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $928 million, or 49.9%, to $2.788 billion for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $1.860 billion for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $48 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 200 basis points to 67.0% for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 65.0% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a higher average unit price and lower promotional activity, partially offset by increases in supply chain costs and unfavorable channel mix.

42

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $302 million, or 17.7%, to $2.004 billion for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $1.702 billion for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Our operating expenses included a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $49 million. Total operating expenses decreased to 48.1% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 59.4% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $386 million, or 27.3%, to $1.800 billion for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $1.414 billion for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to increased retail store, e-commerce, corporate costs and marketing expenses for the nine months ended December 25, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 43.2% for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 49.4% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to leveraging of operating expenses as a result of higher revenue.

Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $33 million, or 36.7%, to $123 million for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 as compared to $90 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to an increase in compensation expense and professional fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $14 million, or 8.8%, to $146 million for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $160 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 3.5% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 5.6% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 primarily due to higher revenues for the nine months ended December 25, 2021.

Impairment of Assets

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, we recognized asset impairment charges of $33 million and $110 million, respectively, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Michael Kors store locations. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Restructuring and Other Charges

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $25 million, which included other costs of $19 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace and $6 million related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

For the nine months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $18 million, which included other costs of $17 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace and $1 million related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program.

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

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $626 million, to $784 million for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to $158 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 18.8% for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to 5.5% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021, we recognized $11 million of interest income compared to $39 million of interest expense for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The $50 million improvement in interest (income) expense, net, is primarily due to an increase of interest income from higher average notional amounts outstanding and more favorable interest rates on our net investment hedges in the current year and a decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings outstanding (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $1 million and a net foreign currency gain of $16 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021, we recognized $54 million of income tax expense compared to $20 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Our effective tax rate was 6.8% and 14.4% for the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively. The decrease in our effective rate was primarily due to the favorable effect of a net operating loss carryback claim made in the United States as a result of COVID-19 related losses and a benefit recognized as a result of recently enacted tax legislation in Italy which allowed the Company to reduce its deferred tax liabilities. Specifically, this change allowed the Company to step up certain intangible assets which will result in lower future cash taxes.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

For the nine months ended December 25, 2021, we recorded net income of $1 million and for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $2 million, attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures. These amounts represent the share of income (loss) that is not attributable to the Company.

Net Income Attributable to Capri

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $620 million to a net income of $741 million for the nine months ended December 25, 2021, compared to a net income of $121 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020.

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 $85 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 25, 2021.

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

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	30	$	(363)

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $168 million to $713 million during the nine months ended December 25, 2021, as compared to $545 million for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as a result of an increase in our net income after non-cash adjustments, partially offset by decreases related to changes in our working capital. The decreases related to the changes in our working capital are primarily attributable to an increase in our inventory levels, an increase in income tax receivables and fluctuations in the timing of payments and receipts when compared to the prior year.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $26 million during the nine months ended December 25, 2021, as compared to $97 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, which was primarily attributable to the settlement of certain net investment hedges of $59 million during the nine months ended December 25, 2021.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $663 million during the nine months ended December 25, 2021, as compared to $803 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The decrease of cash used in financing activities of $140 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in net debt repayments of $453 million, partially offset by a $359 million increase in cash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares compared to prior year.

We believe that our 2018 Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. As of December 25, 2021, there were 25 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 2018 Credit Facility.

See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements and Note 12 in our Fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information relating to our credit facilities and debt obligations.

Share Repurchase Program

The following table presents our ordinary share repurchases during the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 (dollars in millions):

	Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
Cost of shares repurchased under share repurchase program	$	350	$	—
Fair value of shares withheld to cover tax obligations for vested restricted share awards	10		1
Total cost of treasury shares repurchased	$	360	$	1
Shares repurchased under share repurchase program	5,934,244		—
Shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations	193,322		48,147
	6,127,566		48,147

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, we reinstated our $500 million share repurchase program, which was previously suspended during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the provisions of the Second Amendment of the 2018 Credit Facility. See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information.

On November 3, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had terminated our existing $500 million share repurchase program (the “Prior Plan”), with $250 million of availability remaining, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Fiscal 2022 Plan”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares within a period of two years from the effective date of the program. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Please refer to the “Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments” disclosure within the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of our Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K for a detailed disclosure of our other contractual obligations and commitments as of March 27, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. Our off-balance sheet commitments relating to our outstanding letters of credit were $35 million at December 25, 2021, including $6 million in letters of credit issued outside of the 2018 Credit Facility. In addition, as of December 25, 2021, bank guarantees of approximately $34 million were supported by our various credit facilities. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in interest rates. In order to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instruments primarily help to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our product costs. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiaries’ local currency relative to the currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward 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 our equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of goods sold or operating expenses, in our

consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward currency exchange contracts were established.

We perform a sensitivity analysis on our forward currency contracts, both designated and not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in U.S. Dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of December 25, 2021, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 25, 2021, would result in a net increase and decrease, respectively, of approximately $14 million in the fair value of these contracts.

Net Investment Hedges

We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to our net investment hedges. As of December 25, 2021, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $4 billion to hedge our net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and $194 million to hedge our net investments in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and this currency. Under the term of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 4.457% in Euros and 0% to 3.408% in Japanese Yen. Based on the net investment hedges outstanding as of December 25, 2021, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 25, 2021, would result in a potential net increase or decrease upon settlement of approximately $511 million in the fair value of this contract. Certain of these contracts include mandatory early termination dates between August 2025 and February 2026, while the remaining contracts have maturity dates between May 2024 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 November 2023. If the outstanding position of a contract exceeds a certain threshold governed by the aforementioned CSA’s, either party is required to post cash collateral.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility, our Credit Facility, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, our Japan Credit Facility and our Versace Credit Facilities. Our 2018 Term Loan Facility carries interest at a rate that is based on LIBOR. Our 2018 Credit Facility carries interest rates that are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, among other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular origination of borrowing), as further described in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Our China Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark lending rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Our Versace Credit Facility carries interest at a rate set by the bank on the date of borrowing that is tied to the European Central Bank. Therefore, our statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At December 25, 2021, we had $20 million borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, $495 million, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and no borrowings

50

outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. At March 27, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, $865 million, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and no borrowings outstanding under our Versace Credit Facility. 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

Our $450 million Senior Notes, due in 2024, bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.500% per year, payable semi-annually. Our Senior Notes interest rate payable may be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substitute rating agency), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes.

On an overall basis, our exposure to market risk has not significantly changed from what we reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The COVID-19 pandemic does 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 March 27, 2021 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 December 25, 2021. 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 December 25, 2021 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

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 25, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

52

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

(1)During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company reinstated its $500 million share repurchase program, which had been previously suspended in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, on November 3, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had terminated the Company’s existing $500 million share repurchase program, which had $250 million of availability remaining at the time, and authorized a new share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares within a period of two years from the effective date of the program. The Company continues to have in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

This Item 5 is being filed solely to update the Item 9B disclosure included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021, in order to provide the amount of any material charges relating to the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program by major type of cost that the Company believes are now determinable.

As previously announced, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program to improve the profitability of its retail store fleet. As part of the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program, the Company intends to close approximately 170 of its retail stores throughout Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. The company initially expected to incur approximately $75 million of one-time costs related to this program, but now expects total one-time costs of approximately

53

$25 million, including lease termination and other store closure costs, the majority of which are expected to result in future cash expenditures.

During the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021, the Company closed 13 and 39 of its retail stores, respectively, which have been incorporated into the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program. Net restructuring charges recorded in connection with the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program during the three and nine months ended December 25, 2021 were $10 million and $6 million, respectively.

The exact amounts and timing of the remaining Capri Retail Optimization Program 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 Capri Retail Optimization Program 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.
