Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
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 March 29, 2025. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 29, 2025.
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 March 29, 2025. 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 March 29, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2025, 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 March 29, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are currently undertaking a major, multi-year ERP implementation to upgrade our information technology platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over several years. We have launched the finance functionality of the ERP system in certain regions starting in Fiscal 2023 which has continued in Fiscal 2025.
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
Global Optimization Plan
As previously announced during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Global Optimization Plan in order to streamline the Company’s operating model, maximize efficiency and support long-term profitable growth. This Item 9B is being filed solely to update prior disclosures in order to provide the amount of any material charges relating to the Global Optimization Plan by major type of cost that the Company believes are now determinable.
During the three and twelve months ended March 29, 2025, the Company closed 40 and 83, respectively, of its retail stores which have been incorporated into the Global Optimization Plan. Net restructuring expense recorded in connection with the Global Optimization Plan was $ 7 million during both the three and twelve months ended March 29, 2025, respectively, primarily related to severance and store closure costs, partially offset by gains on lease terminations.
The exact amounts or range of amounts and timing of the Global Optimization Plan charges and future cash expenditures associated therewith are undeterminable at this time; however, the Company continues to evaluate its store fleet for further optimization and store closures in addition to the previously announced plan. The Company will either disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K or disclose in another periodic filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the amount of any material charges relating to the Global Optimization Plan by major type of cost once such amounts or range of amounts are determinable.
This disclosure is intended to satisfy the requirements of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
During the quarterly period ended March 29, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

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 March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 29, 2025, 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 March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended March 29, 2025, 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 March 29, 2025, 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 May 28, 2025 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 Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter 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 matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Description of the Matter At March 29, 2025, the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of brand names, totaled $688 million and $657 million, respectively. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. As a result of the Company’s 2025 interim impairment test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $430 million associated with its Versace Wholesale, Versace Retail and Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting units. The Company also recognized an impairment charge of $231 million associated with the Jimmy Choo and Versace indefinite-lived retail and wholesale brand name intangible assets.
Auditing the Company’s impairment assessments described above 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, EBITDA margin and royalty rates, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions.
72
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 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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 March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 29, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated May 28, 2025 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 20 for additional information regarding the Company’s segments.
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 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 (“Fiscal 2025”, “Fiscal 2024” and “Fiscal 2023”, respectively) contain 52 weeks. The Company’s Fiscal 2026 is a 52-week period ending March 28, 2026.
2. Termination of the Merger Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Tapestry”), and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry (“Merger Sub” and, together with Capri and Tapestry, the “Parties”).
The Merger Agreement provided that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry would acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri (the “Merger”), with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. For additional information related to the Merger Agreement, please refer to Capri’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 20, 2023, as well as the supplemental disclosures contained in Capri’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 17, 2023.
The Merger had been approved by the boards of directors of Capri and Tapestry and by the shareholders of Capri. Completion of the Merger was subject to, among other customary conditions, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Company received regulatory approval from all countries except for the United States. In connection with the Merger, on April 22, 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Tapestry and the Company seeking to block the Merger, claiming that the Merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Merger constituted unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined. The preliminary injunction hearing concluded in September 2024, and on October 24, 2024, the District Court granted the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Merger pending the completion of the FTC's in-house administrative proceeding. On October 28, 2024, Tapestry and Capri jointly filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”).
On November 13, 2024, the Parties entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. In connection with the termination, consistent with the Merger Agreement, Tapestry agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $ 45 million in cash for certain expenses on November 14, 2024. This reimbursement was recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Parties also agreed to release each other and their related parties from any and all liability, claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liens, obligations, accounts, debts, demands, agreements, promises, liabilities, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees) in connection with, arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. On November 15, 2024, Capri and Tapestry stipulated to the dismissal of the appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 4, 2024, the FTC’s in-house administrative proceeding was dismissed without prejudice.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, credit losses, estimates of inventory net realizable value, 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 tax collected from retail customers is presented on a net basis and, as such, is 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 factors such 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 March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024, and April 1, 2023 (in millions):

Fiscal Year Ended April 1, 2023 92 400 ( 397 ) 95
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 North America customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. 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 4 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 (loss) income. Advertising and marketing expense was $ 363 million, $ 412 million and $ 374 million in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, 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 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, were $ 8 million, $ 7 million and $ 9 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Inbound freight 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 (loss) income. Outbound freight expenses are recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses and 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 (loss) income were $ 252 million, $ 259 million and $ 270 million for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total revenue.
COVID-19 Related Government Assistance and Subsidies
During Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded $ 6 million related to government assistance and subsidies. This amount mostly relates to rent support and payroll expense and was recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company did no t record any amount related to government assistance and subsidies in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
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 March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 are credit card receivables of $ 23 million and $ 28 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.
A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:

Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process. The combined total of raw materials and work in process recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of both March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 were $ 45 million. 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. The Company’s historical estimates 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 and 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. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as 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.
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of reacquired rights, customer relationships and trademarks 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.
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 the 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 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 136 million, $ 88 million and $ 36 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets of retail store locations. Please refer to Note 8 and Note 14 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, 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 various factors, including but not limited to, 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 the 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, discount rates and market multiples. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and goodwill may be impaired.
When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of 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 third quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company identified impairment indicators due to the reduction of the Company’s share price following the termination of the Merger Agreement, continued softening of consumer demand for fashion luxury goods globally and the continuing decline in operating results during the third quarter impacting all three of the Company’s brands. As a result of these factors, the Company concluded that impairment indicators existed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, resulting in an interim impairment assessment of its goodwill and intangible assets. The Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis for its 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 performed an impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived customer relationship intangible assets using an income approach to estimate their fair values.

Based on the results of these assessments, the Company determined there was no impairment for the Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting unit goodwill as the fair value was significantly higher than the related carrying value. However, the Company concluded that the fair value of the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit goodwill and Retail and Wholesale brand indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their related carrying amounts and the Company recorded impairment. These impairment charges were primarily related to a decline in revenue driven by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods. Accordingly, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 66 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit. The Jimmy Choo Retail reporting unit’s goodwill balance was fully impaired in Fiscal 2024 and the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit had a remaining goodwill balance of $ 27 million. The Company also recorded impairment charges of $ 15 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets that have remaining balances of $ 151 million and $ 53 million, respectively.
Further, based on the results of these assessments, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 364 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting unit’s goodwill. The Versace Retail and Wholesale have remaining balances of $ 101 million and $ 23 million, respectively. The Company also recorded impairment charges of $ 216 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets that have remaining balances of $ 365 million and $ 88 million, respectively.
Lastly, based on a 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 no t impaired. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment for its Michael Kors, Versace and Jimmy Choo reporting units using a qualitative assessment. In performing this assessment, the Company identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events and circumstances that could affect the fair values and/or carrying amounts of its reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as the Company's actual and expected financial performance. Additionally, the Company also considered the results of its most recent quantitative goodwill impairment test which was performed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025 as noted above. 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 Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reporting units exceeded their carrying values and, therefore, were not impaired.
In Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 192 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units, $ 70 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets and $ 227 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets. In Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 82 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units and $ 24 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023. See Note 9 for information relating to the Company’s annual impairment analysis performed during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.
It is possible that the Company’s conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other indefinite-lived 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 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 future impairment charges to goodwill and/or other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Insurance
The Company uses a combination of third-party insurance coverage and self-insurance programs, including a wholly-owned captive insurance entity, to mitigate 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 certain 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.
85
Table of Contents
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 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 share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. These fair values are recognized as 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.
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.
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 loss 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 loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies for certain 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 contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. 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 transaction, the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges are 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, 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 loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit

Table of Contents
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 transactions they are intended to hedge.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company also uses cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between different currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under 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 income (loss) (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest (income) expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold or liquidated.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of its cash flows resulting from floating interest rates on the Company’s borrowings. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest (income) expense, net in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Fair Value Hedges
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, the fair value hedge will be recorded at fair value each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, which will offset the earnings impact of the original transaction being hedged. If the fair value hedge is terminated and the underlying intercompany loans are settled, the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) remaining from the hedge at the time of termination will be reclassified to foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
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 are 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 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
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 fixed rent payments and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the
87
Table of Contents
Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through March 2029. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its restructuring initiatives. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.
The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the leases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, 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 12 for additional information.
Net (Loss) Income per Share
The Company’s basic net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if RSUs or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including share option grants, were converted or exercised 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 2025 and Fiscal 2024 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.
Share equivalents of 457,722 shares for Fiscal 2023 have been excluded from the above calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect.
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 % and an ownership interest in the Jimmy Choo EMEA joint venture, JC Gulf Trading LLC, of 49 %.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Supplier Finance Programs
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” which makes a number of changes. The amendments require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow users of the financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 on a retrospective basis, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which was adopted prospectively by the Company beginning with its Fiscal 2025 annual consolidated financial statements. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the guidance only pertains to financial statement footnote disclosures. See Note 12 for the Company’s disclosures relating to this update.

Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The Company adopted the update on a retrospective basis beginning with its Fiscal 2025 annual consolidated financial statements. See Note 20 for the Company’s disclosures relating to this update.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and, other than the recent pronouncements discussed below, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Interim disclosures are required for periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, and retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Tax Legislation
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law by the Biden Administration, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income ("CAMT") and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The CAMT was effective beginning Fiscal 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, however, the Company will continue to monitor for any potential impact as additional guidance becomes available. With respect to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases, this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act was effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states reached an agreement to implement the OECD’s reform of international taxation known as Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") Rules, which broadly mirrors certain provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act by imposing a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. GloBE has become effective for the Company during Fiscal 2025. Based upon the Company’s analysis, the Pillar Two initiatives are not projected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 10, 2025, the United States Treasury and the IRS issued final regulations that address several long-standing issues related to dual consolidated losses and introduce new rules for disregarded payment losses. The changes related to disregarded payment losses could impact how the Company utilizes certain deductions and losses to offset its U.S. income as part of its global financing activities, beginning in Fiscal 2027. The Company will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.

4. Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and 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 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 sites throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), certain parts of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (Asia and Oceania). 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. 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 a 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 and retail store credits, net of estimated “breakage,” was $ 14 million and $ 15 million as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, 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 North America customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed.
Wholesale
The Company’s products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Company also has arrangements where its products are sold to geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and South America. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales 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
91
Table of Contents
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 the Company’s guaranteed minimums for Versace are multi-year based. As of March 29, 2025, 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 2026 $ 34
Fiscal 2027 31
Fiscal 2028 21

Sales Returns
For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company recognizes revenue for the consideration for 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 both March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $ 48 million and the related asset for the right to recover returned product as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $ 20 million and $ 14 million, respectively.

(1) As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, $ 58 million and $ 102 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 $ 18 million and $ 13 million as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. The Company had credit losses of $ 8 million, $ 6 million and $ 5 million, respectively, for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.
7. Concentration of Credit Risk, Major Customers and Suppliers
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, derivatives 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 monitoring credit limits for its customers and obtaining insurance coverage for a portion of its receivables (see Note 6). The Company is also exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk,

Table of Contents
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.
No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023.
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 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, one contractor accounted for approximately 11 %, 12 % and 15 %, 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 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, one agent sourced approximately 15 %, 14 % and 15 %, respectively, of Michael Kors finished goods, based on dollar volume.

(1) The Company recorded impairment charges of $ 430 million during Fiscal 2025 related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting units and the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had accumulated impairment charges of $ 605 million related to its Jimmy Choo reporting units and $ 364 million related to its Versace reporting units, respectively.
(2) On May 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Calzaturificio Sicla S.r.l. (“Sicla Acquisition”), an Italian shoe manufacturer, for cash consideration of $ 9 million, net of cash acquired. The acquired identifiable assets and liabilities net to a nominal amount, with $ 9 million recognized in goodwill allocated to the Jimmy Choo reportable segment.
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 third quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company identified impairment indicators due to the reduction of the Company’s share price following the termination of the Merger Agreement, continued softening of consumer demand for fashion luxury goods globally and the continuing decline in operating results during the third quarter impacting all three of the Company’s brands. As a result of these factors, the Company concluded that impairment indicators existed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, resulting in an interim impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis for 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 performed an impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived customer relationship intangible assets using an income approach to estimate their fair values.
Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value of the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit goodwill and Retail and Wholesale brand indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their related carrying amounts and recorded impairment charges. The Jimmy Choo Retail reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired during Fiscal 2024 . Additionally, the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting units goodwill and Retail and Wholesale brand indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their related carrying amounts. These impairment charges were primarily related to a decline in revenue driven by softening demand globally for fashion luxury goods as well as strategic initiatives previously put in place at Versace that did not perform as expected.
Accordingly, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 66 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit, $ 15 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets, $ 364 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale reporting units goodwill and $ 216 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.
In total, $ 661 million of impairment was recorded related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets within impairment of assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for Fiscal 2025.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025 the Company also performed an impairment assessment for its definite-lived intangible assets and concluded that the Versace Wholesale reporting unit customer relationship intangible asset did not exceed its related carrying amounts. Accordingly, the Company recorded $ 10 million of impairment related to definite-lived intangible assets within impairment of assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for Fiscal 2025.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived impairment assessment for its Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reporting units using a qualitative assessment. In performing this assessment, the Company identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events and circumstances that affected the fair values and/or carrying amounts of its reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as the Company's actual and expected financial performance. Additionally, the Company considered the results of its most recent quantitative goodwill impairment test which was performed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025 as noted above. 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 Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors reporting units exceeded their carrying values and, therefore, were not impaired.
In Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $ 192 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units, $ 70 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets and $ 227 million related to the Versace Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility
On February 4, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent, which amended and restated the Company’s existing credit agreement, dated as of July 1, 2022 (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of the United States dollar equivalent of $ 2.2 billion (the “2025 Credit Facilities”), under which the Company, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company, a Canadian subsidiary of the Company and a Swiss subsidiary of the Company are borrowers, and which will be guaranteed by the borrowers and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantees”). The 2025 Credit Facilities are comprised of (i) a new $ 700 million senior secured term loan facility comprised of (a) a $ 392 million tranche of terms loans in United States dollars (the “USD Term Loans”), which was fully drawn by Michael Kors (USA), Inc. on the Closing Date, and (b) a tranche of term loans in Euros in an amount equal to the Euro equivalent of $ 320 million, or € 296 million, at the time of closing (the “Euro Term Loans,” and together with the USD Term Loans, the “2025 Term Loans”), which were fully drawn by Michael Kors (Switzerland) GmbH on the Closing Date, and (ii) the existing $ 1.5 billion revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Facility”) as provided under the Existing Credit Agreement, which may be denominated in United States dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs, and which includes sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit up to $ 125 million and swing line loans at the administrative agent’s discretion of up to $ 100 million.
The 2025 Credit Facilities mature on July 1, 2027. The applicable borrower is required to make quarterly principal payments in respect to the 2025 Term Loans on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the last business day of the first full calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, in equal installments equal to 1.25 % of the original principal amount of the applicable 2025 Term Loans on the Closing Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the term loans may not be re-borrowed.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the obligations under the 2025 Credit Facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries that are borrowers and guarantors, excluding real property and other customary exceptions, and substantially all of the registered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. With respect to certain non-ordinary course asset sales, the Company may elect to reinvest the net cash proceeds from such sales in the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to the extent it does not do so, the Company is required to apply such net cash proceeds to prepay the 2025 Term Loans, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions. The 2025 Term Loans are also required to be prepaid with the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness for borrowed money that is not permitted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as well as from certain equity issuances by the Company.
Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility were used on the Closing Date to repay, in part, the $ 450 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loans (the “364 Day Term Loan”) due November 1, 2025 outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility and to pay transaction costs, and may be used to finance working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of

the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2025 Term Loans were borrowed on the Closing Date to repay outstanding indebtedness, including the 364 Day Term Loan, to pay transactions costs and for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. It was a condition to the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that the Company repay all amounts outstanding in respect of the EUR 450 million senior unsecured term loan under the Versace Term Loan dated as of December 5, 2022 among Gianni Versace S.r.l., as borrower, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Banca Nazionale Del Lavoro S.p.A. and UniCredit S.p.A., as arrangers and lenders, and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., as agent, which repayment and termination occurred on February 4, 2025.

14. Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
At March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, 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 value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities of the Company and based on the maturity date of each individual hedge contract. See Note 15 for further detail.

The Company’s debt obligations are recorded on its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values. The fair value of the Company’s 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 facilities, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. See Note 12 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 debt, based on Level 2 measurements (in millions):

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

15. Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies for certain of its transactions.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company entered into multiple EUR/USD forward contracts with total notional amounts of $ 50 million. 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 (loss) income.

Table of Contents
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company terminated its fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $ 2.384 billion, which resulted in the Company receiving $ 42 million of cash. These were subsequently replaced by fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $ 2.364 billion related to its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries, of which the Company will exchange monthly fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amounts for fixed rate payments of 0.0 % in Euro.

These contracts have maturity dates between January 2027 and July 2031 and have been designated as net investment hedges.
When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Accordingly, the Company recorded interest income of $ 117 million, $ 95 million and $ 38 million, respectively, during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of € 800 million. The swaps were designed to mitigate the impact of adverse interest rate fluctuations for a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt. € 500 million of the total interest rate swaps entered into relate to the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility expiring July 2027. The remaining € 300 million of the interest rate swaps entered into relate to the Company’s Versace Term Loan expiring December 2025. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company terminated these interest rate swaps to coincide with the Company’s debt refinancing and paid $ 13 million. As of both March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the Company did not have any interest rate swap agreements outstanding. See Note 12 for further detail on the Company’s debt refinancing.
When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest (income) expense, net, in the same period in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $ 1 million of interest income related to this agreement. As of March 30, 2024, the Company did not have interest income related to interest rate swap agreements as they were entered into during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company is exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which will impact earnings on a consolidated basis. To manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company had previously entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure from Euro denominated intercompany loans on GBP denominated subsidiaries. As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, there were no fair value hedges outstanding.
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, the fair value hedge will be recorded at fair value each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, which will offset the earnings impact of the underlying transaction being hedged. If the fair value hedge is terminated and the underlying intercompany loans are settled, the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) remaining from the hedge at the time of termination will be reclassified to foreign currency loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company settled its Euro denominated intercompany loan and recognized $ 14 million of foreign currency loss within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income from AOCI. The Company recorded a foreign currency gain of $ 28 million in foreign currency loss within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2024 from the GBP Fair Value Hedge which offset translation losses from the underlying transaction.

16. Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On November 9, 2022, the Company announced its Board of Directors approved a two-year share repurchase program to purchase up to $ 1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. However, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the Company was prohibited from repurchasing its ordinary shares other than the acceptance of Company ordinary shares as payment of the exercise price of Company options or for withholding taxes with respect of Company equity awards. Accordingly, the Company did not repurchase any of its ordinary shares during the pendency of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program expired on November 9, 2024.
During Fiscal 2025, and for the reasons set forth above, the Company did not purchase any shares through open market transactions under the share repurchase program. During Fiscal 2024, the Company purchased 2,637,102 shares with a fair value of $ 100 million through open market transactions. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had no remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program as it expired on November 9, 2024.
The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain employees and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company withheld 117,710 shares and 185,133 shares, respectively, with a fair value of $ 4 million and $ 7 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

Reclassifications from AOCI into earnings for Fiscal 2023 primarily include a $ 14 million gain related to the foreign currency exchange contracts for inventory purchases and are recorded within cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
17. 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 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 March 29, 2025, 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 share units (“RSUs”), and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to 22,471,000 ordinary shares after amendments in August 2022. At March 29, 2025, there were 2,716,741 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 date, and those issued under the Incentive Plan generally expire seven years from the grant date.

There were no options granted during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023.
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 the Company’s 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 third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the employee’s continued employment during the vesting period and only if certain pre-established 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 200 %, if the level of performance is at or above the predetermined maximum achievement level.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets applicable to subsidiaries in jurisdictions for which separate income tax returns are filed by assessing both positive and negative available evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recoverable. As a result of the three year cumulative loss at a consolidated level, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance resulting in an increase of $ 516 million of the valuation allowance in Fiscal 2025. In Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 the valuation allowance increased by $ 124 million and decreased by $ 40 million, respectively. In certain jurisdictions, the Company increased the valuation allowance by $ 549 million, $ 135 million and $ 6 million and decreased valuation allowances $ 33 million, $ 11 million and $ 14 million in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. The valuation allowance is evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in full depending on the future expectations of the realization of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional level.
As of March 29, 2025, the Company had non-United States and United States net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1.656 billion, a portion of which will begin to expire in Fiscal 2026.
As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the Company had liabilities related to its uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $ 117 million and $ 188 million, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate, was $ 117 million, $ 173 million and $ 221 million as of March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, are presented below (in millions):

(1) This amount is primarily related to a favorable Italian tax ruling related to stock compensation during Fiscal 2025.
(2) This amount is primarily related to settlements of Italian transfer pricing and Hong Kong corporate income tax audits during Fiscal 2024.
The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of the provision for income taxes. The Company recognized a reduction of $ 13 million and $ 11 million in interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. The Company recognized an increase of $ 14 million in interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for Fiscal 2023.
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 $ 16 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 2019.
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.
19. 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 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023, the Company recognized expenses of approximately $ 18 million, $ 18 million and $ 17 million, respectively, related to these retirement plans.

20. 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”), who is the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 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 the Versace Jeans Couture product line, fragrances, watches, 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 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 technology 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 transaction related income (costs), impairment charges and restructuring and other expense. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s CODM plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.

21. Subsequent Events
On April 10, 2025, the Company and Prada S.p.A. (“Prada”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Prada has agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of the Company which operate the Company’s Versace business for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1.375 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments, including for net indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. As of this date, the Company determined that the pending sale of the Versace business met the criteria for held-for-sale accounting and will be reported as such in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.
The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including (a) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (b) regulatory approvals having been obtained in other specified jurisdictions outside of the United States, (c) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties as of the closing date, subject to materiality qualifications, (d) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Versace business and (e) each party’s performance of its covenants under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects. Prior to the closing, the Company expects to undertake a reorganization of certain of its subsidiaries in order to facilitate the transaction, which is currently anticipated to be structured as an acquisition by Prada of all of the outstanding interests in the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, GIVI Holding S.r.l.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and it contains limited indemnities by the parties for certain matters. Between the time of the entry into the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the transaction, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Versace business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and not to take certain actions with respect to the Versace business without Prada’s prior written consent. At the closing of the transaction, the Company and Prada will enter into a transition services agreement pursuant to which the Company will provide Prada with certain transition services for the period of time and compensation as set forth therein.
The Purchase Agreement also includes customary termination provisions, including the right of either the Company or Prada to terminate the Purchase Agreement if (a) the closing of the transaction has not occurred by January 12, 2026 (subject to an automatic three month extension under certain circumstances), (b) there is an order or law that makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the transaction or (c) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period. The Company and Prada have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the closing of the transaction as promptly as practicable, subject to certain additional provisions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Additional information about the Purchase Agreement is set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2025.
