Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15(d) - 15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) as of April 2, 2022. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of April 2, 2022.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 (f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance (A) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (B) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2022. In making this assessment, it used 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, management has determined that, as of April 2, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2022, as well as the consolidated financial statements, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended April 2, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently undertaking a major, multi-year ERP implementation to upgrade our information technology platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over multiple years. We have launched the Michael Kors Finance functionality on the ERP system in North America in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.

Table of Contents
As a result of this multi-year implementation, we expect certain changes to our processes and procedures, which in turn, could result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. While we expect this implementation to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal control over financial reporting as processes and procedures in the affected areas evolve. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” — “A material delay or disruption in our information technology systems or e-commerce websites or our failure or inability to upgrade our information technology systems precisely and efficiently could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. ”
Item 9B. Other Information
As previously announced, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a retail store optimization program (the “Capri Retail Store Optimization Program”) to improve the profitability of its retail store fleet. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company completed its plan to close certain retail stores as a part of Capri Retail Store Optimization Program. The Company closed a total of 167 of its retail stores, with 66 and 101 stores having closed during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively. Net restructuring charges recorded in connection with the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program was $14 million, of which $9 million and $5 million was recorded during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Capri Holdings Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capri Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 2, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended April 2, 2022, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated June 1, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Description of the Matter At April 2, 2022, the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of brand names, totaled $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. Auditing the Company’s annual impairment assessments was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the reporting units for goodwill and the fair value of indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets. In particular, the fair value estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions, such as changes in the discount rate, revenue growth rate, margin and royalty rates, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions.
67
Table of Contents
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the valuation methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends and evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business environment would affect the significant assumptions. For example, we compared the royalty rates used in estimating the fair value of certain indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets to current industry licensing agreements. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We also involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the significant assumptions and methodologies used by the Company in developing the fair value estimates. In addition, we tested management’s reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.
Impairment of Retail Store Long-Lived assets
Description of the Matter As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets, which primarily include property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets at retail stores, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended April 2, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $83 million related to the long-lived assets.
Auditing the Company’s impairment assessment of retail store long-lived assets was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the future cash flows used to assess recoverability of each retail store long-lived asset group (undiscounted) and determining the fair value (discounted). The significant assumptions used include estimated future cash flows directly related to the future operation of the stores (including sales and expense growth rates) and the discount rate used to determine fair value. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of certain operating lease right-of-use assets include the current market rent and discount rate for the remaining lease term of the related stores. These assumptions are subjective in nature and are affected by expectations about future
market or economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the retail store long-lived assets impairment process, including, determining the undiscounted future cash flows of the stores and the fair value of the long-lived assets (including those related to operating leases) for the stores that were deemed to be impaired. We also tested controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
Our testing of the Company’s impairment measurement included, among other procedures, evaluating the significant assumptions and operating data used to calculate the estimated future cash flows and to determine the fair value of the store long lived asset groups. For a sample of retail stores, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used by the Company in its analyses and we compared the significant assumptions used to determine the forecasted cash flows to historical results of the retail stores, current industry and economic trends and inquired of the Company’s executives to understand the business initiatives supporting the assumptions in the future cash flows. We involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the fair value of certain operating lease right-of-use assets, which included assessing the estimated market rental rates of these leases by comparing them to rental rates for comparable leases and evaluating the applied discount rate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Capri Holdings Limited
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Capri Holdings Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Capri Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (“the Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) , shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 2, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated June 1, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CAPRI HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 13, 2002 as Michael Kors Holdings Limited and changed its name to Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) on December 31, 2018. 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, apparel and footwear 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 19 for additional information.
The 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 Company consolidates the results of its Versace business on a one-month lag, as consistent with prior periods.
The Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year, and the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to that 52-week or 53-week period. The fiscal years ending on March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 (“Fiscal 2021” and “Fiscal 2020”, respectively) contain 52 weeks, whereas the fiscal year ending April 2, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”) contain 53 weeks. The Company’s Fiscal 2023 is a 52-week period ending April 1, 2023.
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.
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 collectability 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 recognizes retail store revenues when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at Company owned stores, including concessions, net of estimated returns. Revenue from sales through the Company’s e-commerce sites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to the Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for retail revenue, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and future customer return expectations. Sales taxes collected from retail customers are presented on a net basis and, as such, are excluded from revenue. To arrive at net sales for wholesale revenue, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns, based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns,

allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates are based on such factors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and current market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.
The following table details the activity and balances of the Company’s sales reserves for the fiscal years ended April 2, 2022, March 27, 2021, and March 28, 2020 (in millions):

Fiscal Year Ended March 28, 2020 127 497 ( 458 ) 166
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing the Company’s trademarks at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of the Company’s tradenames to sell its branded products in specific geographic regions.
Loyalty Program
The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors United States customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is expected to be recognized within the next 12 months. See Note 3 for additional information.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed when the advertisement is first exhibited and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Advertising and marketing expense was $ 329 million, $ 137 million and $ 201 million in Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively.
Cooperative advertising expense, which represents the Company’s participation in advertising expenses of its wholesale customers, is reflected as a reduction to revenue. Expenses related to cooperative advertising for Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, were $ 4 million, $ 3 million and $ 7 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Freight-in expenses are recorded as part of cost of goods sold, along with product costs and other costs to acquire inventory. The costs of preparing products for sale, including warehousing expenses, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the costs of shipping products to the Company’s e-commerce customers. Shipping and handling costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were $ 236 million, $ 160 million and $ 157 million for Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total revenue.
COVID-19 Related Government Assistance and Subsidies
During Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded $ 10 million and $ 37 million, respectively, related to government assistance and subsidies. There was no government assistance or subsidies recorded in Fiscal 2020. These amounts mostly relate to rent support and payroll expense and were recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses.

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 April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 are credit card receivables of $ 18 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 April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:
Fiscal Years Ended

Cash and cash equivalents $ 169 $ 232
Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets 3 2
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows $ 172 $ 234
Inventories
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 recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 were $ 31 million and $ 28 million, respectively. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties and freight to bring the goods to the Company’s warehouses, as well as shipments to stores. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory and makes adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of the Company’s inventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand and other market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and physical inventory counts. The Company’s inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of these adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
Store Pre-opening Costs
Costs associated with the opening of new retail stores and start up activities, are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization (carrying value). Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected remaining useful lives of the related assets. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five to seven years , computer hardware and software are depreciated over three to five years . The Company’s share of the cost of constructing in-store shop displays within its wholesale customers’ floor-space (“shop-in-shops”), which is paid directly to third-party suppliers, is capitalized as property and equipment and is generally amortized over a useful life of three to five years . Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term, including highly probable renewal periods. The Company includes all depreciation and amortization expense as a component of total operating expenses, as the underlying long-lived assets are not directly or indirectly related to bringing the Company’s products to their existing location and condition. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the year incurred.
The Company capitalizes, in property and equipment, direct costs incurred during the application development stage and the implementation stage for developing, purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for its internal use. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally five years , except for ERP systems which has an estimated useful life of ten years . All costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, including project scoping and identification and testing of alternatives, are expensed as incurred.
76
Table of Contents
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of trademarks and customer relationships which are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company’s customer relationships are amortized over five to eighteen years . Reacquired rights recorded in connection with the acquisition of Michael Kors (HK) Limited and Subsidiaries (“MKHKL”) are amortized through March 31, 2041, the original expiration date of the Michael Kors license agreement in the Greater China region. The trademark for the Michael Kors brand is amortized over twenty years .
Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates all long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, the Company groups long-lived assets at the lowest level of identifiable cash flow. Leasehold improvements are typically amortized over the term of the store lease, including reasonably assured renewals and the shop-in-shops are amortized over a useful life of three to five years . The Company’s impairment testing is based on its best estimate of the future operating cash flows. If the sum of our estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment charge, which is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair values determined by management require significant judgment and include certain assumptions regarding future sales and expense growth rates, discount rates and estimates of real estate market fair values. As such, these estimates may differ from actual results and are affected by future market and economic conditions.
During Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 83 million, $ 158 million and $ 357 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets of our retail store locations. Please refer to Note 7 and Note 13 for additional information.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company records intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The brand intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as the Versace brand and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill, for the Versace brand and the Jimmy Choo brand are assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.
The Company may assess its goodwill and its brand intangible assets for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses various factors, including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of its businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed to determine if impairment is required. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets initially rather than using a qualitative approach.
The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company uses industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management and, in certain instances, it engages independent third-party valuation specialists. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches, when applicable. The Company believes the blended use of both models, when applicable, compensates for the inherent risk associated with either model if used on a stand-alone basis, and this combination is indicative of the factors a market participant would consider when performing a similar valuation. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. These valuations are affected by certain estimates, including future revenue growth rates, future operating expense growth rates, gross margins and discount rates. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and goodwill may be impaired.
77
Table of Contents
When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of our brand intangible assets, the fair value of the Versace and the Jimmy Choo brands is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the “relief from royalty” method, assuming that a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in lieu of ownership for this intangible asset. This approach is dependent on many factors, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the brand intangible assets is less than its carrying amount.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis for each brand. Based on qualitative impairment assessment of the Michael Kors reporting units, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors reporting units exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, was not impaired. The Company elected to perform quantitative impairment analyses for the Versace and Jimmy Choo reporting units, using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair values of reporting units. The Company also elected to perform an impairment analysis for the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets using an income approach to estimate the fair values. Based on the results of these assessments, the Company concluded that the fair values of the Jimmy Choo and Versace reporting units and the brand intangible assets exceeded the related carrying amounts and no impairment was required.
In Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 94 million related to the Jimmy Choo retail and Jimmy Choo licensing reporting units and $ 69 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets. The Company recorded impairment charges of $ 171 million related to the Jimmy Choo retail and Jimmy Choo licensing reporting units and $ 180 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets during Fiscal 2020. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal years ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020. See Note 8 for information relating to the Company’s annual impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020.
It is possible that the Company’s conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other indefinite intangible assets could change in future periods if, for example, (i) the Company’s businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in future years vary from current assumptions, (iii) business conditions or strategies change from our current assumptions, (iv) discount rates change, (v) market multiples change or (vi) the identification of the Company’s reporting units change, among other factors. Such changes could result in a future impairment charge of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Insurance
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs, including a wholly-owned captive insurance entity, to provide for the potential liabilities for certain risks, including workers’ compensation and employee-related health care benefits. The Company also maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit its exposure arising from claims. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the discounted cost for self-insured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions, historical loss experience, actual payroll and other data. Although the Company believes that it can reasonably estimate losses related to these claims, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company also maintains other types of customary business insurance policies, including general liability, directors and officers, marine transport and inventory and business interruption insurance. Insurance recoveries represent gain contingencies and are recorded upon actual settlement with the insurance carrier.
Share-based Compensation
The Company grants share-based awards to certain employees and directors of the Company. The grant date fair value of share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses its own historical experience in determining the expected holding period and volatility of its time-based share option awards. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the zero-coupon United States (“U.S.”) Treasury Strips yield curve based on the grant’s estimated holding period. Determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility, expected term and risk-free rate. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions, the fair value of future awards and the resulting share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what the Company has estimated in the past.
The closing market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares, time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. These fair values are recognized as
78

expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial statements of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) for Capri and its United States based subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates over the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded separately in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency income and losses resulting from the re-measuring of transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity are included in foreign currency (gain) loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward 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 forward currency 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 (loss). The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between its United States dollar and these 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 expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.

Table of Contents
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company terminated all of its net investment hedges related to its Euro-denominated subsidiaries. The early termination of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $ 296 million in cash during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020. During Fiscal 2021, the Company resumed its normal hedging program and entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated and Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and these currencies. As of April 2, 2022, 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 United States dollar and these currencies.
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 expense 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 (loss).
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities provide for temporary differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company periodically assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and provides valuation allowances, as deemed necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. The Company’s management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings within various taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if the Company’s estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.
The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The tax positions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments for those positions. The Company records interest expense and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.
Leases
On March 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. The Company adopted the new standard recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.
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 ten 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 January 2026. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its restructuring initiatives, as defined in Note 10. 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.

Table of Contents
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, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. 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 location 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 or material restrictions or covenants.
Debt Issuance Costs and Unamortized Discounts
The Company defers debt issuance costs directly associated with acquiring third party financing. These debt issuance costs and any discounts on issued debt are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, as interest expense over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing fees associated with the Company’s Revolving Credit Facilities are primarily recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing fees and unamortized discounts associated with the Company’s other borrowings are primarily recorded as an offset to long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for additional information.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company’s basic net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and 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 in 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.

Diluted net loss per share attributable to Capri for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 excluded all potentially dilutive securities because there was a net loss attributable to Capri for the period and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company has an ownership interest in the Michael Kors Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries of 75 %, an ownership interest in the Jimmy Choo EMEA joint venture JC Gulf Trading LLC of 49 %, an ownership interest in the Jimmy Choo Macau joint venture J. Choo (Macau) Co. Limited of 70 % and a 50 % ownership interest in J. Choo Russia J.V. Limited and its subsidiary.
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 businesses 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 pronouncements discussed below, have 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 April 2, 2022, 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 collectability 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 brands.
The Company has chosen to apply the practical expedient allowing it not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations that have an expected duration of 12 months or less.
Retail
The Company generates sales through directly operated stores and e-commerce throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (Asia and Oceania). Retail revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at Company owned stores, including concessions. For e-commerce transactions, control is transferred and revenue is recognized when products are delivered to the customer, net of estimated returns. To arrive at net sales for retail, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns.
Sales tax collected from retail customers are presented on a net basis and, as such, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to customers are included in net sales, with the related costs recorded in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs that are not billed to customers are accounted for as fulfillment costs.
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 Company anticipates that substantially all of its outstanding gift cards will be redeemed within the next 12 months. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage,” was $ 13 million and $ 12 million as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Loyalty Program . The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors United States customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed.
Wholesale
The Company’s products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Company also has arrangements where its products are sold to geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and South America. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales
83
Table of Contents
returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, when merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to the Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for wholesale, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates are developed based on historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and market conditions, and are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Unfulfilled, non-cancelable purchase orders for products from wholesale customers (including the Company’s geographic licensees) are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 months.
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 product licensing arrangements, the Company allows third parties to manufacture and sell luxury goods, including watches and jewelry, fragrances, eyewear and home furnishings, using the Company’s trademarks. 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. Advertising contributions are received to support the Company’s branded advertising and marketing campaigns and are viewed as part of a single performance obligation with the right to access the Company’s trademarks. Royalty revenue generated from licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, may be subject to contractual minimum levels, as defined in the contract. Such minimums are generally fixed annually, based on the previous year’s sales. Licensing revenue is based on reported current period sales of licensed products at rates that are specified in the license agreements for contracts that are expected to exceed the related guaranteed minimums. If the Company expects the minimum guaranteed amounts to exceed amounts calculated based on actual sales, the guaranteed minimums are recognized ratably over the contractual year to which they relate. Generally, the Company’s guaranteed minimum royalty amounts due from licensees relate to contractual periods that do not exceed 12 months, however, some of our guaranteed minimums for Versace are multi-year based. As of April 2, 2022, 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
Fiscal 2023 $ 29
Fiscal 2024 26
Fiscal 2025 23
Fiscal 2026 23
Fiscal 2027 22
Fiscal 2028 and thereafter 48
Total $ 171
Sales Returns
For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company recognizes revenue for the consideration to which it expects to be entitled and a refund liability for the amount it expects to refund to its customers within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The refund liability is estimated based on management’s review of historical and current customer returns for its retail and wholesale customers, estimated future returns, adjusted for non-resalable products. The Company also considers its product strategies, as well as the financial condition of its customers, store closings by wholesale customers, changes in the retail environment and other macroeconomic factors. The Company recognizes an asset with a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales for the right to recover the products from its retail and wholesale customers. The refund liability recorded as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 was $ 52 million and $ 46 million, respectively, and the related asset for the right to recover returned product as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021 was $ 15 million and $ 14 million, respectively.
Contract Balances
The Company’s contract liabilities are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets depending on the short- or long-term nature of the payments to be recognized. The
84
Table of Contents
Company’s contract liabilities primarily consist of gift card liabilities, advanced payments from product licensees and loyalty program liabilities. Total contract liabilities were $ 30 million and $ 18 million as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively. During Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, the Company recognized $ 10 million and $ 9 million in revenue, respectively, relating to contract liabilities that existed at March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 , respectively. There were no material contract assets recorded as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021.
There were no changes in historical variable consideration estimates that were materially different from actual results.

(1) As of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, $ 83 million and $ 81 million, respectively, of trade receivables were insured.
Receivables are presented net of allowances for discounts, markdowns, operational chargebacks and credit losses. Discounts are based on open invoices where trade discounts have been extended to customers. Markdowns are based on wholesale customers’ sales performance, seasonal negotiations with customers, historical deduction trends and an evaluation of current market conditions. Operational chargebacks are based on deductions taken by customers, net of expected recoveries. Such provisions, and related recoveries, are reflected in revenues.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses is determined through analysis of periodic aging of receivables and assessments of 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 $ 10 million and $ 25 million as of April 2, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, including the impact related to COVID-19. The Company had credit loss of $ 7 million, $( 3 ) million and $ 29 million, respectively, for Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020.
6. Concentration of Credit Risk, Major Customers and Suppliers
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and receivables. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors its concentration of deposits with various financial institutions in order to avoid any undue exposure. The Company mitigates its risk by depositing cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions. The Company also mitigates its credit risk by obtaining insurance coverage for a portion of its receivables (see Note 5). No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues during Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2020.
The Company contracts for the purchase of finished goods principally with independent third-party contractors, whereby the contractor is generally responsible for all manufacturing processes. Although the Company does not have any long-term agreements with any of its manufacturing contractors, the Company believes it has mutually satisfactory relationships with them. The Company allocates product manufacturing among agents and contractors based on their capabilities, the availability of production capacity, quality, pricing and delivery. The inability of certain contractors to provide needed services on a timely basis could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. For Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, one contractor accounted for approximately 17 %, 18 % and 20 %, respectively, of the Company’s total finished goods purchases, based on dollar volume.
The Company also has relationships with various agents who source finished goods with numerous contractors on behalf of its Michael Kors brand. For Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, one agent sourced approximately 24 %, 26 % and 26 %, respectively, of Michael Kors finished goods, based on unit volume.

The Company’s goodwill and the Versace and Jimmy Choo brands are not subject to amortization but are evaluated for impairment annually in the last quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever impairment indicators exist. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis. The Company performed its goodwill impairment assessment for its Michael Kors reporting units using a qualitative assessment. Based on the results of the Company’s qualitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors’ reporting units exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, were not impaired.
The Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo reporting units, using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of each brands’ reporting units. The Company also elected to perform an impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible assets using an income approach to estimate the fair values. Based on the results of these assessments, the Company determined there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo and Versace reporting units or brand intangible assets, as the fair values of the reporting units and the brand intangible assets exceeded the related carrying amounts.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company’s credit facility (the “2018 Credit Facility”) provides for a $ 1 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in United States dollars. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $ 75 million and swing loans of up to $ 75 million. The 2018 Credit Facility also provides for a $ 1.6 billion term loan facility (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”). The 2018 Term Loan Facility is divided into two tranches, with the second tranche maturing in December 2023, which requires a quarterly payment of $ 24 million. As of March 27, 2021, the Company has fully paid off the first tranche of the 2018 Term Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, for loans denominated in United States dollars, an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of: (a) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (b) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate and zero, plus 50 basis points, and (c) the greater of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for

statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”) and zero, plus 100 basis points, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings;
Borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (a) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings; or (b) the greater of Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt ratings.
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its third amended and restated 2018 Credit Facility, dated as of November 15, 2018, with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “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 1.0 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.
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-United States 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-United States dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after that date.
The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 0.10 % to 0.25 % per annum, based on the Company’s public debt ratings, applied to the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2018 Term Loan Facility provides for a commitment fee equal to 0.10 % to 0.25 % per annum, based on the Company’s public debt ratings, applied to the undrawn amount of the 2018 Term Loan Facility, from January 6, 2019 until the term loans are fully drawn or the commitments under the 2018 Term Loan Facility terminate or expire. Loans under the 2018 Credit Facility may be repaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than the customary breakage costs with respect to loans bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate.
As per the reinstatement election date of May 27, 2021, the Company will be required to comply with the quarterly maximum net leverage ratio test of 4.00 to 1.00. Such leverage ratio is calculated based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease liabilities presented on our consolidated balance sheets to Consolidated EBITDAR (as defined below) for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense and other non-cash charges, subject to certain additions and deductions. The 2018 Credit Facility also includes covenants that limit additional indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments and cash dividends that are customary for financings of this type. As of April 2, 2022 and the date these financial statements were issued, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.

13. 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.
96
Table of Contents
At April 2, 2022 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 of 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 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):

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):

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.

14. 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. Due to an other-than-insignificant financing element for certain of these modifications, $ 31 million of net interest cash receipts during Fiscal 2022 related to these contracts were classified as financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
During the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $ 1.5 billion and $ 2.475 billion, respectively. The modification of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $ 59 million and $ 130 million in cash during the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, respectively. These amounts are classified within investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of April 2, 2022, 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 United States dollar and these currencies. Under the term of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0 % to 3.565 % 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 March 2024 and February 2051. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges. Certain of these contracts are supported by a credit support annex (“CSA”) which provides for collateral exchange with the earliest effective date being May 2024. If the outstanding position of a contract exceeds a certain threshold governed by the aforementioned CSA’s, either party is required to post cash collateral.
When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Accordingly, the Company recorded interest income of $ 63 million, $ 16 million and $ 71 million, respectively, during Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020.
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 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 converted the one-month Adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 0.237 % through the date of termination.
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 (loss).
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 Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of interest expense related to this agreement.

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 (loss). 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 net 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 (loss).

15. 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.
During Fiscal 2022, the Company purchased 11,014,541 shares with a fair value of $ 650 million through open market transactions. During Fiscal 2021, the Company did not purchase any shares through open market transactions. As of April 2, 2022, the remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program was $ 500 million. 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.

Table of Contents
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 Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, the Company withheld 203,863 shares and 48,528 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $ 11 million and $ 1 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

16. 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 which includes one stock option plan adopted in Fiscal 2008 (as amended and restated, the “2008 Plan”), and an Omnibus Incentive Plan adopted in the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012 and amended and restated with shareholder approval in May 2015 and again in June 2020 (the “Incentive Plan”). The 2008 Plan only provided for grants of share options and was authorized to issue up to 23,980,823 ordinary shares. As of April 2, 2022, 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 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to 18,846,000 ordinary shares. At April 2, 2022, there were 4,062,239 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 grant

There were no options granted during Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2020.
Restricted Awards
The Company grants RSUs at the fair market value on the grant date. The expense related to RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period, net of expected forfeitures.
The Company grants two types of RSUs: time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Time-based RSUs generally vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant for our independent directors, or in equal increments on each of the third or fourth anniversaries of the date of grant (unless the employee is retirement-eligible). Performance-based RSUs generally vest in full on the second or third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the employee’s continued employment during the vesting period and only if certain pre-established cumulative performance targets are met. Expense related to performance-based RSUs is recognized ratably over the performance period, net of forfeitures, based on the probability of attainment of the related performance targets. The potential number of shares that may be earned ranges from 0 %, if the minimum level of performance is not attained, to 150 %, if the level of performance is at or above the predetermined maximum achievement level.

The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of the provision for income taxes. Interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 was $ 28 million, $ 15 million and $ 11 million, respectively.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlement of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company anticipates that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will be reduced by $ 52 million during the next 12 months, primarily due to the anticipated settlement of tax examinations as well as statute of limitation expirations. However, the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain and changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes and timing of such events could cause the Company’s current estimate to change materially in the future.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign, state and local jurisdictions. Most examinations have been completed by tax authorities or the statute of limitations has expired for United States federal, foreign, state and local income tax returns filed by the Company for years through Fiscal 2016.
Prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), the Company’s undistributed foreign earnings were considered permanently reinvested and, as such, United States federal and state income taxes were not previously recorded on these earnings. As a result of the Tax Act, substantially all of the Company’s earnings in foreign subsidiaries generated prior to the enactment of the Tax Act were deemed to have been repatriated. It remains the Company’s intent to either reinvest indefinitely substantially all of its foreign earnings outside of the United States or repatriate them tax neutrally. However, if future earnings are repatriated, the potential exists that the Company may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, including any applicable foreign withholding tax and income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.
Cares Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carrybacks, modifications to net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates in the interpretation of the law and in the calculation of the provision for income taxes. However, additional guidance may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the Department of the Treasury or other governing body that may significantly differ from our interpretation of the law, which may

result in a material effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations, or financial conditions.
18. Retirement Plans
The Company maintains defined contribution retirement plans for its employees, who generally become eligible to participate after three months of service. Features of these plans allow participants to contribute a percentage of their compensation, up to statutory limits depending upon the country in which the employee resides, and provide for mandatory and/or discretionary matching contributions by the Company, which vary by country. During Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021, and Fiscal 2020, the Company recognized expenses of approximately $ 16 million, $ 20 million and $ 12 million, respectively, related to these retirement plans.
19. Segment Information
The Company operates its business through three operating segments — Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors, which are based on its business activities and organization. The reportable segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are revenue and operating income for each segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies.
The Company’s three reportable segments are as follows:
• Versace — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Versace luxury ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Versace trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Versace branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.
• Jimmy Choo — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury footwear, handbags and small leather goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through its e-commerce sites, as well as through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of fragrances and eyewear.
• Michael Kors — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which the Company sells Michael Kors products, as well as licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia. The Company also sells Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops, and to its geographic licensees. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear.
In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to its brands and, therefore, are not allocated to its segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges, impairment costs, COVID-19 related charges, charitable donations and the war in Ukraine. 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

20. Subsequent Events
Release of Collateral Related to the 2018 Credit Facility
On April 2, 2022, the Company’s senior long-term, unsecured debt was upgraded to investment grade by two of the three specified rating agencies for two consecutive full fiscal quarters, meeting the criteria for the release of the collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility.
On April 3, 2022, the Company notified the Administrative Agent under its 2018 Credit Facility that it had met the conditions for the release of the collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility. The collateral, which consists of substantially all of the assets and certain registered intellectual property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, was released effective April 3, 2022. See Note 11 for additional details regarding the Company’s Credit Facility.
Net Investment Hedges
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $ 1 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries and Japanese-Yen denominated subsidiaries. The modification of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $ 59 million in cash during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.
Senior Notes Credit Rating Upgrade
On April 21, 2022, Moody’s Investor Services upgraded the Company’s credit rating to Baa1 from Baa2 in relation to the Company’s senior unsecured notes. As a result, as of May 1, 2022 the Senior Notes now bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.25 % per year, payable semi-annually. See Note 11 for additional details regarding the Company’s Senior Notes.
Share Repurchase Program

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