Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Apr. 01, 2023

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 April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, the fair value 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 of the Company. The fair values of net investment hedges and fair value hedges 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 14 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 April 1, 2023, using:						Fair value at April 2, 2022, using:
	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

The Company’s long-term debt obligations are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and based on other debt instruments with similar characteristics. Borrowings under revolving credit agreements, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. See Note 11 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):


	April 1, 2023				April 2, 2022
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Revolving Credit Facilities	$	874	$	874	$	175	$	175
Versace Term Loan	$	487	$	481	$	—	$	—
Senior Notes due 2024	$	449	$	435	$	448	$	451
2018 Term Loan	$	—	$	—	$	495	$	490

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. See Note 2 for additional information.

The following table details the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s assets that have been impaired (in millions):


	Carrying Value Prior to Impairment		Fair Value		Impairment Charge (1)
Fiscal 2023:
Goodwill	$	681	$	599	$	82
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets	100		67		33
Brands	224		200		24
Property and Equipment	4		1		3
Total	$	1,009	$	867	$	142

Fiscal 2022:
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets	$	209	$	133	$	76


Property and Equipment	12		5		7
Total	$	221	$	138	$	83

Fiscal 2021:
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets	$	326	$	191	$	135
Goodwill	319		225		94
Brands	407		338		69
Property and Equipment	30		7		23
Total	$	1,082	$	761	$	321

(1)Includes $10 million and $5 million of impairment charges that were recorded within restructuring and other charges related to the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively.

There were no impairment charges related to goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in Fiscal 2022.
