CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in many of places throughout this Annual Report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, business prospects, growth, strategies, expectations regarding industry trends and the size and growth rates of addressable markets, our business plan and growth strategies, including plans for expansion to new markets and new products, expectations for seasonal trends, and the industry in which we operate.

- 5 -

Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report include:


•	our ability to implement our growth strategies;


•	our ability to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, suppliers, wholesalers and distributors;


•	our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;


•	our ability to protect our intellectual property; and


•	the absence of material adverse changes in our industry or the global economy.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.

•	we may not open retail stores or expand e-commerce access on our planned timelines;


•	we may be unable to maintain the strength of our brand or to expand our brand to new products and geographies;

•	our ability to manage our product distribution through our wholesale partners and international distributors;


•	the success of our new store openings;

Although we base the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, we caution you that actual results and developments (including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate) may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. In addition, even if results and developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, those results and developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may prove to be inaccurate. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, particularly in Section 3.D of this Annual Report on Form 20-F titled “Risk Factors”, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks often emerge. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

You should read this Annual Report and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits hereto completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Annual Report, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by applicable laws.

Risks Related to our Business

Our business depends on our strong brand, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand we may be unable to sell our products, which would adversely affect our business.

The Canada Goose name and premium brand image are integral to the growth of our business, and to the implementation of our strategies for expanding our business. We believe that the brand image we have developed has significantly contributed to the success of our business and is critical to maintaining and expanding our customer base. Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make substantial investments in areas such as product design, store openings and operations, marketing, e-commerce, community relations and employee training, and these investments may not be successful.

We anticipate that, as our business continues to expand into new markets and new product categories and as the market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brand may become difficult and expensive. Conversely, as we penetrate these new markets and our brand becomes more widely available, it could potentially detract from the appeal stemming from the scarcity of our brand. Our brand may also be adversely affected if our public image or reputation is tarnished by negative publicity. In addition, ineffective marketing, product diversion to unauthorized distribution channels, product defects, counterfeit products, unfair labour practices, and failure to protect the intellectual property rights in our brand are some of the potential threats to the strength of our brand, and those and other factors could rapidly and severely diminish consumer confidence in us. Maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to be a leader in the premium outerwear industry and to continue to offer a range of high quality

- 8 -

products to our customers, which we may not execute successfully. Any of these factors could harm our sales, profitability or financial condition .

A key element of our growth strategy is expansion of our product offerings into new product categories. We may be unsuccessful in designing products that meet our customers’ expectations for our brand or that are attractive to new customers. If we are unable to anticipate customer preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our products on a timely basis or expand effectively into new product categories, we may lose customers. Our brand is sold in 49 countries as of March 31, 2019 and we sold through 2,227 points of distribution during our Fall / Winter 2018 season. As we expand into new geographic markets, consumers in these new markets may be less compelled by our brand image and may not be willing to pay a higher price to purchase our premium functional products as compared to traditional outerwear. Our operating results would also suffer if our investments and innovations do not anticipate the needs of our customers, are not appropriately timed with market opportunities or are not effectively brought to market.

Because our business is highly concentrated on a single, discretionary product category, premium outerwear, we are vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences that could harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.

Our business is not currently diversified and consists primarily of designing, manufacturing and distributing premium outerwear and accessories. In fiscal 2019, our main product category, down-filled jackets, was made up of over 187 styles and comprised the majority of our sales. Consumer preferences often change rapidly. Therefore, our business is substantially dependent on our ability to attract customers who are willing to pay a premium for our products. Any future shifts in consumer preferences away from retail spending for premium outerwear and accessories would also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition, we believe that continued increases in sales of premium outerwear will largely depend on customers continuing to demand technical superiority from their luxury products. If the number of customers demanding premium outerwear does not continue to increase, or if our customers are not convinced that our premium outerwear is more functional or stylish than other outerwear alternatives, we may not achieve the level of sales necessary to support new growth platforms and our ability to grow our business will be severely impaired.

A downturn in the economy may affect customer purchases of discretionary items, which could materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.

Many factors affect the level of consumer spending for discretionary items such as our premium outerwear and related products. These factors include general economic conditions, interest and tax rates, the availability of consumer credit, disposable consumer income, unemployment and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, such as our premium outerwear, tend to decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower. During our history, we have experienced recessionary periods, but we cannot predict the effect of future recessionary periods on our sales and profitability. A downturn in the economy in markets in which we sell our products may materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.

We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our revenue and profitability.

The market for outerwear is highly fragmented. We compete directly against other wholesalers and direct retailers of premium functional outerwear and luxury apparel. Because of the fragmented nature of the marketplace, we also compete with other apparel sellers, including those who do not

- 9 -

specialize in outerwear. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a broader set of suppliers, greater brand recognition, greater financial resources, more established research and development processes, a longer history of store development, greater marketing resources, more established distribution processes, and other resources than we do.

Our competitors may be able to achieve and maintain brand awareness and market share more quickly and effectively than we can. Many of our competitors have more established and diversified marketing programs, including with respect to promotion of their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and television commercials, and through celebrity endorsements, and have substantial resources to devote to such efforts. Our competitors may also create and maintain brand awareness using traditional forms of advertising more quickly than we can. Our competitors may also be able to increase sales in their new and existing markets faster than we can by emphasizing different distribution channels than we can, such as catalog sales or an extensive retail network, and many of our competitors have substantial resources to devote toward increasing sales in such ways.

If we fail to attract new customers, we may not be able to increase sales.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to attract new customers. In order to expand our customer base, we must appeal to and attract consumers who identify with our products. We have made significant investments in enhancing our brand and attracting new customers. We expect to continue to make significant investments to promote our current products to new customers and new products to current and new customers, including through our e-commerce platforms and retail store presence. Such marketing investments can be expensive and may not result in increased sales. Further, as our brand becomes more widely known, we may not attract new customers as we have in the past. If we are unable to attract new customers, we may not be able to increase our sales.

We have grown rapidly in recent years. If we are unable to manage our operations at our current size or to manage any future growth effectively, the pace of our growth may slow.

We have expanded our operations rapidly since 2013 and have been developing a Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) channel with the launch of our 12 national e-commerce markets since August of 2014, and the opening of our retail stores in Beijing, Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Montreal, Short Hills (New Jersey), New York City, Toronto and Vancouver and a retail store operated by our distribution partner in Tokyo. Driven by this expansion, alongside continued growth in our wholesale channel, total revenue increased to $830.5 million for fiscal 2019 from $403.8 million for fiscal 2017 , at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 43.4% .

If our operations continue to grow, of which there can be no assurance, we will be required to continue to expand our sales and marketing, product development, manufacturing and distribution functions, to upgrade our management information systems and other processes, and to obtain more space for our expanding administrative support and other personnel. Our continued growth could increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees and manufacturing capacity to produce our products, and delays in production and shipments. These difficulties may result in the erosion of our brand image, divert the attention of management and key employees and impact financial and operational results. In addition, in order to continue to expand our DTC channel, we expect to continue to add selling, general & administrative expenses to our operating profile. These costs, which include lease commitments, headcount and capital assets, could result in decreased margins if we are unable to drive commensurate growth.

- 10 -

Our growth strategy involves expansion of our DTC channel, including retail stores and on-line, which may present risks and challenges.

Our business has only recently evolved from one in which we only distributed products on a wholesale basis for resale by others to a multi-channel distribution model, which includes retail and online stores operated by us. Growing our e-commerce platforms and number of retail stores is essential to our growth strategy, as is expanding our product offerings available through these channels. This strategy has and will continue to require significant investment in cross-functional operations and management focus, along with investment in supporting technologies and retail store spaces. If we are unable to provide a convenient and consistent experience for our customers, our ability to compete and our results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if our e-commerce or retail store design does not appeal to our customers, reliably function as designed, or maintain the privacy of customer data, or if we are unable to consistently meet our brand promise to our customers, we may experience a loss of customer confidence or lost sales, or be exposed to fraudulent purchases, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations. Furthermore, with our increasing retail footprint, we are increasingly subject to risks relating to brick and mortar store locations, such as the risk that footfall at our store locations will decline, that we will be unable to secure new leases upon desirable terms, or that higher costs at our retail locations will adversely affect our margins.

We are also subject to different and evolving local laws and regulatory requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we operate retail stores and online stores. In particular, we are subject to different and evolving laws governing the operation and marketing of e-commerce websites, as well as the collection, storage and use of information on consumers interacting with those websites. We may incur additional costs and operational challenges in complying with these laws, and differences in these laws may cause us to operate our businesses differently in different territories. If so, we may incur additional costs and may not fully realize the investment in our international expansion.

Our financial performance is subject to significant seasonality and variability, which could cause the price of our subordinate voting shares to decline.

Our business is affected by a number of factors common to our industry and by other factors specific to our business model, which drive seasonality and variability. Historically, key metrics, including those related to our growth, profitability and financial condition, have fluctuated significantly across fiscal periods. We expect this to continue in the future.

Consumer purchases of down-filled jackets are heavily concentrated in the Fall / Winter season. As a result, the majority of our DTC revenue is recognized in the third and fourth fiscal quarter. Our wholesale revenue is weighted earlier in the second and third fiscal quarters, when most orders are shipped to wholesale partners.

At the consolidated level, our revenue is concentrated in the second and third fiscal quarters, while our operating costs are more evenly distributed throughout the year. In fiscal 2019, these two quarters represented 75.8% of total revenue. We have historically experienced reduced or negative net income in our first and fourth fiscal quarters, where we have significantly less revenue to offset our cost base. We expect our expanding DTC channel to continue increasing as a percentage of total revenue, resulting in a growing proportion of our revenue occurring during the third and fourth fiscal quarters.

Guided by expected demand and wholesale orders, we manufacture on a linear basis throughout the fiscal year, while adding capacity to our manufacturing network, resulting in the buildup of inventory ahead of our peak season. This causes significant fluctuations in our working capital,

- 11 -

cash conversion, and leverage throughout the fiscal year. At certain points in time, in anticipation of future growth, our inventory has also increased at a higher rate than our revenue growth in the same period.

Historical results, especially comparisons across fiscal quarters, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods. In addition to the seasonality of demand for our products, our financial performance is influenced by a number of factors which are difficult to predict and variable in nature. These include input cost volatility, the timing of consumer purchases and wholesale deliveries which very often shift between fiscal quarters, demand forecast accuracy, inventory availability and the evolution of our channel mix, as well as external trends in weather, retail traffic and discretionary consumer spending.

A number of other factors which are difficult to predict could also affect the seasonality or variability of our financial performance. Therefore, you should not rely on the results of a single fiscal quarter as an indication of our annual results or future performance.

Our business may be adversely affected by global climate change trends.

A significant portion of our business is highly dependent on cold-weather seasons and patterns to generate consumer demand for our cold-weather apparel. Consumer demand for our cold-weather and shoulder season products may be negatively affected to the extent global weather patterns trend warmer, reducing typical patterns of cold-weather events or increasing weather volatility, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of March 31, 2019 , we had repaid all borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility (as defined below) and had $165.5 million of unused commitments under our Revolving Facility and $152.4 million of term loans under our Term Loan Facility (as defined below), for total indebtedness of $152.4 million . We also generally experience significant fluctuations in our aggregate indebtedness and working capital over our operating cycle due to the seasonality in our business. Our debt could have important consequences, including:


•	limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements and increasing our cost of borrowing;


•	requiring a portion of our cash flow to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;


•	requiring the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings to be used to prepay our debt as opposed to other purposes;


•	exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest; and


•	limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete.

The credit agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to incur certain liens, make investments and acquisitions, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem our common or preferred shares, or enter into certain other types of contractual arrangements

- 12 -

affecting our subsidiaries or indebtedness. In addition, the restrictive covenants in the credit agreement governing our Revolving Facility require us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if excess availability under our Revolving Facility falls below a specified threshold.

Although the credit agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, those restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with those restrictions could be substantial. We may also seek to amend or refinance one or more of our debt instruments to permit us to finance our growth strategy or improve the terms of our indebtedness.

Our plans to improve and expand our product offerings may not be successful, and implementation of these plans may divert our operational, managerial and administrative resources, which could harm our competitive position and reduce our revenue and profitability.

In addition to our DTC strategy and the expansion of our geographic footprint, we are growing our business by expanding our product offerings outside down-filled jackets, including softshell jackets, windwear, rainwear, knitwear and footwear. The principal risks to our ability to successfully carry out our plans to expand our product offering include:


•	the success of new products and new product lines will depend on market demand and there is a risk that new products and new product lines will not deliver expected results, which could negatively impact our future sales and results of operations;


•	if our expanded product offerings fail to maintain and enhance our distinctive brand identity, our brand image may be diminished and our sales may decrease;


•	implementation of these plans may divert management’s attention from other aspects of our business and place a strain on our management, operational and financial resources, as well as our information systems; and


•	incorporation of novel materials or features into our products may not be accepted by our customers or may be considered inferior to similar products offered by our competitors.

In addition, our ability to successfully carry out our plans to expand our product offerings may be affected by economic and competitive conditions, changes in consumer spending patterns and changes in consumer preferences and styles. These plans could be abandoned, could cost more than anticipated and could divert resources from other areas of our business, any of which could negatively impact our competitive position and reduce our revenue and profitability.

Unexpected obstacles in new markets may limit our expansion opportunities and cause our business and growth to suffer.

Our future growth depends in part on our expansion efforts outside of North America, including in developing markets. We have limited experience with regulatory environments and market practices outside of this region, and we may not be able to penetrate or successfully operate in any new market, as a result of unfamiliar regulation or other unexpected barriers to entry. In connection with our expansion efforts we may encounter obstacles, including cultural and linguistic differences, differences in regulatory environments, economic or governmental instability, labour practices and market practices, difficulties in keeping abreast of market, business and technical developments, and foreign customers’ tastes and preferences. In developing markets, potential challenges include relatively higher risk of political instability, economic volatility, crime, corruption and social unrest. Such challenges may be exacerbated in many cases by uncertainties regarding how local law is applied and enforced, and with respect to judiciary and administrative mechanism.

- 13 -

We may also encounter difficulty expanding into new international markets because of limited brand recognition leading to delayed acceptance of our outerwear by customers in these new international markets. Our failure to develop our business in new international markets or experiencing disappointing growth or inadequate management of risks outside of existing markets could harm our business and results of operations.

We rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers to provide high quality raw materials.

Our products require high quality raw materials, including cotton, polyester, wool, down and coyote fur. The price of raw materials depends on a wide variety of factors largely beyond the control of Canada Goose. A shortage, delay or interruption of supply for any reason could negatively impact our ability to fulfill orders and have an adverse impact on our financial results.

In addition, while our suppliers, in turn, source from a number of sub-suppliers, we rely on a very small number of direct suppliers for certain raw materials. As a result, any disruption to these relationships could have an adverse effect on our business. Events that adversely affect our suppliers could impair our ability to obtain inventory in the quantities and at the quality that we require. Such events include difficulties or problems with our suppliers’ businesses, finances, labour relations, ability to import raw materials, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as natural disasters or other catastrophic occurrences. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our suppliers will continue to provide fabrics and raw materials or provide products that are consistent with our standards.

More generally, if we need to replace an existing supplier, additional supplies or additional manufacturing capacity may not be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, and any new supplier may not meet our strict quality requirements. In the event we are required to find new sources of supply, we may encounter delays in production, inconsistencies in quality and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of our raw materials could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our products and result in lower sales and profitability both in the short and long-term.

We could experience significant disruptions in supply from our current sources.

We generally do not enter into long-term formal written agreements with our suppliers, and typically transact business with our suppliers on an order-by-order basis. There can be no assurance that there will not be a disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, that we would be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with their quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability and labour and other ethical practices. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our products and result in lower revenue and operating income both in the short and long-term.

Our business and results of operations could be harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products.

To ensure adequate inventory supply, we and our wholesale partners forecast inventory needs, which are subject to seasonal and quarterly variations and customer demand. If we fail to accurately forecast wholesale demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product to deliver to our wholesale partners and through our DTC channel. Our ability to forecast accurately has become increasingly important as we have grown our DTC segment. In our wholesale segment, a majority of orders delivered in a given fiscal year are received in the prior fiscal year, enabling

- 14 -

us to manufacture inventory to wholesale demand. For DTC channel sales, we have to manufacture according to our forecasts. If we overestimate the demand for our products, we could face inventory levels in excess of demand, which could result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which would harm our gross margins and our brand management efforts. The impact of an overestimation is expected to increase as a larger portion of our sales comes through our DTC channel, and as we expand our product offerings to include more new styles. If we underestimate the demand for our products, we may not be able to produce products to meet our wholesale partner requirements, and this could result in delays in the shipment of our products and our failure to satisfy demand, as well as damage to our reputation and wholesale partner relationships. In addition, failures to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could harm our profitability and financial condition.

If we are unable to establish and protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, counterfeiters may produce copies of our products and such counterfeit products could damage our brand image.

Given the increased popularity of our brand, we believe there is a high likelihood that counterfeit products or other products infringing on our intellectual property rights will continue to emerge, seeking to benefit from the consumer demand for Canada Goose products. These counterfeit products do not provide the functionality of our products and we believe they are of substantially lower quality, and if customers are not able to differentiate between our products and counterfeit products, this could damage our brand image. In order to protect our brand, we devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and to anti-counterfeiting efforts worldwide. We actively pursue entities involved in the trafficking and sale of counterfeit merchandise through legal action or other appropriate measures. In spite of our efforts, counterfeiting still occurs and, if we are unsuccessful in challenging a third-party’s rights related to trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights, this could adversely affect our future sales, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot guarantee that the actions we have taken to curb counterfeiting and protect our intellectual property will be adequate to protect the brand and prevent counterfeiting in the future or that we will be able to identify and pursue all counterfeiters who may seek to benefit from our brand.

Competitors have and will likely continue to attempt to imitate our products and technology and divert sales. If we are unable to protect or preserve our intellectual property rights, brand image and proprietary rights, our business may be harmed.

As our business has expanded, our competitors have imitated, and will likely continue to imitate, our product designs and branding, which could harm our business and results of operations. Competitors who flood the market with products seeking to imitate our products could divert sales and dilute the value of our brand. We believe our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are extremely important to our success and our competitive position.

However, enforcing rights to our intellectual property may be difficult and costly, and we may not be successful in stopping infringement of our intellectual property rights, particularly in foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market share. Intellectual property rights necessary to protect our products and brand may also be unavailable or limited in certain countries. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our trademark and other intellectual property rights. Continued sales of competing products by our competitors could harm our brand and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Labour-related matters, including labour disputes, may adversely affect our operations.

As of March 31, 2019, less than 23% of our employees are members of labour unions, and additional members of our workforce may become represented by unions in the future. The exposure to unionized labour in our workforce presents an increased risk of strikes and other labour disputes, and our ability to alter labour costs will be subject to collective bargaining, which could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, potential labour disputes at independent factories where our goods are produced, shipping ports, or transportation carriers create risks for our business, particularly if a dispute results in work slowdowns, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak manufacturing, shipping and selling seasons. Any potential labour dispute, either in our own operations or in those of third parties, on whom we rely, could materially affect our costs, decrease our sales, harm our reputation or otherwise negatively affect our sales, profitability or financial condition.

The majority of our workforce is composed of manufacturing employees based in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Québec, a sizeable portion of whom are paid wage rates based on the applicable provincial minimum wage. Many jurisdictions, including certain Canadian provinces, either have increased or plan to increase their minimum wage and other benefits requirements, which may materially increase our manufacturing costs. Minimum wage increases such as the foregoing may not only increase the wages of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to our other hourly or salaried employees who, in recognition of their tenure, performance, responsibilities and other similar considerations, historically received a rate of pay exceeding the applicable minimum wage. Further, if we fail to pay such higher wages, we could suffer increased employee turnover. It is difficult to predict when such increases may take place and any such increase could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We rely significantly on information technology systems for our distribution systems and other critical business functions, and are increasing our reliance on these functions as our DTC channel expands. Any failure, inadequacy, or interruption of those systems could harm our ability to operate our business effectively.

We rely on information systems to effectively manage all aspects of our business, including merchandise planning, manufacturing, allocation, distribution, sales and financial reporting. Our reliance on these systems, and their importance to our business, will increase as we expand our DTC channel and global operations. We rely on a number of third parties to help us effectively manage these systems. If information systems we rely on fail to perform as expected, our business could be disrupted. The failure of us or our vendors to manage and operate our information technology systems as expected could disrupt our business, result in our not providing adequate product, losing sales or market share, and reputational harm, causing our business to suffer. Any such failure or disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our information technology systems and vendors also may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our or their control, including fire, flood, natural disasters, systems failures, network or communications failures, power outages, viruses, security breaches, cyber-attacks and terrorism. We maintain disaster recovery procedures intended to mitigate the risks associated with such events, but there is no guarantee that these procedures will be adequate in any particular circumstance. As a result, such an event could materially disrupt, and have a material adverse effect on, our business.

- 16 -

We partially depend on our wholesale partners to display and present our products to customers in our wholesale segment, and our failure to maintain and further develop our relationships with our wholesale partners could harm our business.

We sell our products in our wholesale segment through knowledgeable local, regional, and national wholesale partners. Our wholesale partners service customers by stocking and displaying our products, and explaining our product attributes. Our relationships with these wholesale partners are important to the authenticity of our brand and the marketing programs we continue to deploy. Our failure to maintain these relationships with our wholesale partners or financial difficulties experienced by these wholesale partners could harm our business.

Our sales depend, in part, on wholesale partners effectively displaying our products, including providing attractive space in their stores, including shop-in-shops, and training their sales personnel to sell our products. If our wholesale partners reduce or terminate those activities, we may experience reduced sales of our products, resulting in lower revenue and gross margins, which would harm our profitability and financial condition.

We also have key relationships with wholesale partners. If we lose any of our key wholesale partners, or if any key wholesale partner reduces their purchases of our existing or new products, or their number of stores or operations or promotes products of our competitors over ours, or suffers financial difficulty or insolvency, our sales would be harmed. The recent decline in the overall retail industry has been challenging for some of our wholesale partners and caused us to negotiate shortened payment terms and reduce credit limits with certain of our wholesale partners. If the overall retail environment continues to decline or if one or more of our wholesale partners is unable or unwilling to meet our payment terms, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

A significant portion of our sales are to wholesale partners, directly and through distributors.

A significant portion of our sales are made to wholesale partners, either directly or indirectly, through distributors, who may decide to emphasize products from our competitors, to redeploy their retail floor space to other product categories, or to take other actions that reduce their purchases of our products. We do not receive long-term purchase commitments from our wholesale partners, and confirmed orders received from our wholesale partners may be difficult to enforce. Factors that could affect our ability to maintain or expand our sales to these wholesale partners include: (a) failure to accurately identify the needs of our customers; (b) lack of customer acceptance of new products or product expansions; (c) unwillingness of our wholesale partners and customers to attribute premium value to our new or existing products or product expansions relative to competing products; (d) failure to obtain shelf space from our wholesale partners; and (e) new, well-received product introductions by competitors.

We cannot assure you that our wholesale partners will continue to carry our products in accordance with current practices or carry any new products that we develop. If these risks occur, they could harm our brand as well as our results of operations and financial condition.

Our marketing programs, e-commerce initiatives and use of customer information are governed by an evolving set of laws and enforcement trends and unfavorable changes in those laws or trends, or our failure to comply with existing or future laws, could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

We collect, process, maintain and use data, including sensitive information on individuals, available to us through online activities and other customer interactions in our business. Our current and future marketing programs may depend on our ability to collect, maintain and use this information, and our ability to do so is subject to evolving and increasingly demanding international, U.S., Canadian, European and other laws and enforcement trends. For example, the European Union

- 17 -

recently adopted a comprehensive General Data Privacy Regulation (the "GDPR"), which became fully effective in May 2018. The GDPR requires companies to satisfy new requirements regarding the handling of personal and sensitive data, including its use, protection and the ability of persons whose data is stored to correct or delete such data about themselves. Failure to comply with GDPR requirements could result in significant penalties. We strive to comply with all applicable laws and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection and customer protection, including those relating to the use of data for marketing purposes. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another, may conflict with other rules, may conflict with our practices or fail to be observed by our employees or business partners. If so, we may suffer damage to our reputation and be subject to proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant amounts to defend our practices, distract our management or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business.

Certain of our marketing practices rely upon e-mail to communicate with consumers on our behalf. We may face risk if our use of e-mail is found to violate the applicable law. We post our privacy policy and practices concerning the use and disclosure of user data on our websites. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy or other privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings which could potentially harm our business. In addition, as data privacy and marketing laws change, we may incur additional costs to ensure we remain in compliance. If applicable data privacy and marketing laws become more restrictive at the international, federal, provincial or state levels, our compliance costs may increase, our ability to effectively engage customers via personalized marketing may decrease, our investment in our e-commerce platform may not be fully realized, our opportunities for growth may be curtailed by our compliance burden and our potential reputational harm or liability for security breaches may increase.

Data security breaches and other cyber security events could result in disruption to our operations or financial losses and could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business.

As with other companies, we are subject to risks associated with data security breaches and other cyber security events. We collect, process, maintain and use personal information relating to our customers and employees, and rely on third parties for the operation of our e-commerce site and for the various social media tools and websites we use as part of our marketing strategy. Any attempted or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding our employees, customers or website visitors could harm our reputation and credibility, reduce our e-commerce sales, impair our ability to attract website visitors, reduce our ability to attract and retain customers and could result in litigation against us or the imposition of significant fines or penalties.

Our on-line activities, including our e-commerce websites, also may be subject to denial of service or other forms of cyber attacks. While we have taken measures we believe reasonable to protect against those types of attacks, those measures may not adequately protect our on-line activities from such attacks. If a denial of service attack or other cyber event were to affect our e-commerce sites or other information technology systems, our business could be disrupted, we may lose sales or valuable data, and our reputation may be adversely affected. Additionally, new and evolving data protection legislation such as the GDPR impose new requirements such as shorter notification timeframes that could increase the risks associated with data security breaches.

We have procedures and technology in place designed to safeguard our customers’ debit and credit cards and our customers’ and employees’ other personal information, and we continue to devote significant resources to network security, backup and disaster recovery, and other security

- 18 -

measures. Nevertheless, these security measures cannot provide absolute security or guarantee that we will be successful in preventing or responding to every such breach or disruption.

Recently, data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting new foreign, federal, provincial and state laws and legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security, as well as increased data protection obligations imposed on merchants by credit card issuers. As a result, we may become subject to more extensive requirements to protect the customer information that we process in connection with the purchase of our products, resulting in increased compliance costs.

A significant portion of our business functions operate out of our headquarters in Toronto. As a result, our business is vulnerable to disruptions due to local weather, economics and other factors.

All of our significant business functions reside at our headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Events such as extreme local weather, natural disasters, transportation strikes, acts of terrorism, significant economic disruptions or unexpected damage to the facility could result in an unexpected disruption to our business as a whole. Although we carry business interruption insurance, if a disruption of this type should occur, our ability to conduct our business could be adversely affected or interrupted entirely and adversely affect our financial and operating results.

Our success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management.

Our success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management, including Dani Reiss, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of our senior management could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and achieve our business goals. We also may be unable to retain existing management, technical, sales and client support personnel that are critical to our success, which could result in harm to our customer and employee relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs.

We have not obtained key man life insurance policies on any members of our senior management team. As a result, we would not be protected against the associated financial loss if we were to lose the services of members of our senior management team.

We rely on payment cards to receive payments, and are subject to payment-related risks.

For our DTC sales, as well as for sales to certain wholesale partners, we accept a variety of payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards and electronic funds transfers. Accordingly, we are, and will continue to be, subject to significant and evolving regulations and compliance requirements relating to payment card processing. This includes laws governing the collection, processing and storage of sensitive consumer information, as well as industry requirements such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”). These laws and obligations may require us to implement enhanced authentication and payment processes that could result in increased costs and liability, and reduce the ease of use of certain payment methods. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time. We rely on independent service providers for payment processing, including credit and debit cards. If these independent service providers become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us or if the cost of using these providers increases, our business could be harmed. We are also subject to payment card association operating rules and agreements, including PCI-DSS, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, or if our data security systems are breached or compromised, we may be liable for losses incurred by card issuing banks or consumers, subject to fines and higher transaction fees, lose our ability

- 19 -

to accept credit or debit card payments from our consumers, or process electronic fund transfers or facilitate other types of payments. Any failure to comply could significantly harm our brand, reputation, business, and results of operations.

If our independent manufacturers or our suppliers fail to use ethical business practices and fail to comply with changing laws and regulations or our applicable guidelines, our brand image could be harmed due to negative publicity.

Our core values, which include developing the highest quality products while operating with integrity, are an important component of our brand image, which makes our reputation sensitive to allegations of unethical or improper business practices, whether real or perceived. We do not control our suppliers and manufacturers or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee their compliance with our guidelines or the law. A lack of compliance could lead to reduced sales or recalls or damage to our brand or cause us to seek alternative suppliers, which could increase our costs and result in delayed delivery of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of our operations.

In addition, many of our products include materials that are heavily regulated in many jurisdictions. Certain jurisdictions in which we sell have various regulations related to manufacturing processes and the chemical content of our products, including their component parts. Monitoring compliance by our manufacturers and suppliers is complicated, and we are reliant on their compliance reporting in order to comply with regulations applicable to our products. This is further complicated by the fact that expectations of ethical business practices continually evolve and may be substantially more demanding than applicable legal requirements. Ethical business practices are also driven in part by legal developments and by diverse groups active in publicizing and organizing public responses to perceived ethical shortcomings. Accordingly, we cannot predict how such regulations or expectations might develop in the future and cannot be certain that our guidelines or current practices would satisfy all parties who are active in monitoring our products or other business practices worldwide.

Our current and future products may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in negative publicity, litigation, product recalls and warranty claims, which could result in decreased revenue and operating margin, and harm to our brand.

There can be no assurance we will be able to detect, prevent, or fix all defects that may affect our products. Failure to detect, prevent, or fix defects, or the occurrence of real or perceived quality, health or safety problems or material defects in our current and future products, could result in a variety of consequences, including a greater number of product returns than expected from customers and our wholesale partners, litigation, product recalls, and credit, warranty or other claims, among others, which could harm our brand, sales, profitability and financial condition. We stand behind every Canada Goose product with a full lifetime warranty against defects. Because of this comprehensive warranty, quality problems could lead to increased warranty costs, and divert the attention of our manufacturing facilities. Such problems could hurt our premium brand image, which is critical to maintaining and expanding our business. Any negative publicity or lawsuits filed against us related to the perceived quality and safety of our products could harm our brand and decrease demand for our products.

Our business could be adversely affected by protestors or activists.

We have been the target of protestors and activists in the past, and may continue to be in the future. Our products include certain animal products, including goose and duck feathers in all of our down-filled parkas and coyote fur on the hoods of some of our parkas, which has drawn the attention of animal welfare activists.

- 20 -

Protestors can disrupt sales at our stores, or use social media or other campaigns to sway public opinion against our products. In addition, such activism could influence laws or regulations applicable to the jurisdictions in which we operate, including laws and regulations related to the use of animal by-products. If any such activists are successful, our sales and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The cost of raw materials could increase our cost of goods sold and cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers include synthetic fabrics and natural products, including cotton, polyester, down and coyote fur. Significant price fluctuations or shortages in the cost of these raw materials may increase our cost of goods sold and cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer. In particular, in our experience, pricing for fur products tends to be unpredictable. If we are unable to secure coyote fur for our jackets at a reasonable price, we may have to alter or discontinue selling some of our designs, or attempt to pass along the cost to our customers, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, increasing costs of labour, freight and energy could increase our and our suppliers’ cost of goods. If our suppliers are affected by increases in their costs of labour, freight and energy, they may attempt to pass these cost increases on to us. If we pay such increases, we may not be able to offset them through increases in our pricing, which could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our results of operations as well as the price of our subordinate voting shares.

The presentation currency for our consolidated financial statements is the Canadian dollar. Because we recognize sales in U.S. dollars, Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Hong Kong dollars and Chinese yuan, if any of these currencies weakens against the Canadian dollar it would have a negative impact on our local operating results upon translation of those results into Canadian dollars for the purposes of financial statement consolidation. Although we engage in short-term hedging transactions for a portion of our foreign currency denominated cash flows to mitigate foreign exchange risks, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Foreign exchange variations have been significant in the past and current foreign exchange rates may not be indicative of future exchange rates.

Our earnings per share are reported in Canadian dollars, and accordingly may be translated into U.S. dollars by analysts or our investors. As a result, the perceived value of an investment in our subordinate voting shares to a U.S. shareholder will fluctuate as the U.S. dollar rises and falls against the Canadian dollar. Our decision to declare a dividend depends on results of operations reported in Canadian dollars. As a result, U.S. and other shareholders seeking U.S. dollar total returns, including increases in the share price and dividends paid, are subject to foreign exchange risk as the U.S. dollar rises and falls against the Canadian dollar.

Political uncertainty and an increase in trade protectionism could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

As a prominent Canadian brand, geopolitical events that involve Canada may have an impact on our business and share price. In addition, our brand and Canadian heritage may be detrimental to the company in the context of geopolitical disputes aimed at Canada or actors or situations with significant actual or perceived connection to Canada. We sell a significant portion of our products to customers outside of Canada and changes, potential changes or uncertainties in regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, and development

- 21 -

and investment in the territories and countries where we operate, could adversely affect our business and consolidated financial statements. Recent events, including the U.S. presidential election and “Brexit” in the U.K., have resulted in substantial regulatory uncertainty regarding international trade and trade policy. For example, in November 2018, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”) (in Canada, known as the Canada-United-States-Mexico Agreement (“CUSMA”), which is intended to succeed the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). USMCA/CUSMA has been signed but not ratified by the legislature of each of the United States, Canada and Mexico. It remains unclear what the U.S., Canadian, or Mexican governments will or will not do with respect to NAFTA, USMCA/CUSMA or other international trade agreements and policies. In addition, in 2018, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain imports from China and other countries, resulting in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. The U.S. and China are currently involved in trade talks, the outcome of which is uncertain. This uncertainty and potential governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the Canadian, U.S. or world economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our business.

Because of our international operations, which we are expanding as our DTC channel expands, we could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws.

We source an increasingly significant portion of our products from outside Canada. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While we take steps to ensure that our distributors, consultant and personnel comply with applicable law, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in preventing our employees or other agents from taking actions in violation of these laws or regulations. Such violations, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may become involved in legal or regulatory proceedings and audits.

Our business requires compliance with many laws and regulations, including labour and employment, sales and other taxes, customs, and consumer protection laws and ordinances that regulate retailers generally and/or govern the importation, promotion and sale of merchandise, and the operation of stores and warehouse facilities. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to lawsuits and other proceedings, and could also lead to damage awards, fines and penalties. We may become involved in a number of legal proceedings and audits, including government and agency investigations, and consumer, employment, tort and other litigation. The outcome of some of these legal proceedings, audits, and other contingencies could require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm our operations or require us to pay substantial amounts of money, harming our financial condition. Additionally, defending against these lawsuits and proceedings may be necessary, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, harming our financial condition. There can be no assurance that any pending or future legal or regulatory proceedings and audits will not harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.

Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including: general business risks, product liability, product recall and damage to third parties, our

- 22 -

infrastructure or properties caused by fires, floods and other natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, human errors and similar events.

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover our liabilities related to such hazards or operational risks. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercially justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim, or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate these weaknesses and maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our reputation.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As the company has experienced significant expansion of operations and revenue growth, we increased the number of personnel in our organization and specifically in our financial reporting team. Despite this progress, in fiscal 2019 we continued to identify control deficiencies in aggregate that constitute a material weakness in two components of internal control as defined by COSO 2013 (Control Activities and Information and Communication). Management determined it did not design and maintain effective controls over the following, each of which was deemed a material weakness in aggregate: (a) the occurrence and accuracy of revenue and the existence of the related accounts receivable, and access controls to customer master data; and (b) the existence and valuation of inventory, including inventory costing and access controls to inventory master data.

While we have taken steps to address these material weaknesses in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, there are a number of additional steps that management plans to take in 2020 and beyond to strengthen the company’s internal controls. In addition, as the company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may take additional measures to address control deficiencies. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable relevant controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. No assurance can be provided at this time that the actions and remediation efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses identified or prevent the incidence of other material weaknesses in the company’s internal control over financial reporting in the future. We do not know the specific time frame needed to fully remediate the material weaknesses identified. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls and continuing to update and maintain our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to implement new processes and modify our existing processes and take significant time to complete. If we fail to enhance our internal control over financial reporting to meet the demands that are placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), we may be unable to report our financial results accurately, which could increase operating costs, trigger an event of default under our Credit Agreement and harm our business,

- 23 -

including our investors’ perception of our business, our share price and our ability to finance our operations.

For a more detailed discussion of our material weaknesses, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” - “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

Failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and cause a decline in our share price.

Reporting obligations as a public company and our anticipated growth have placed and are likely to continue to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as on our personnel. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, we are required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify the effectiveness of our internal controls. Since management was unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if additional material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could harm our business and cause a decline in our share price. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our share price and harm our ability to raise capital. Failure to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis could also jeopardize our continued listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or any other exchange on which our subordinate voting shares may be listed. Delisting of our subordinate voting shares from any exchange would reduce the liquidity of the market for our subordinate voting shares, which would reduce the price of our subordinate voting shares and increase the volatility of our share price.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization are detected. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be materially adversely affected, which could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn could result in a reduction in the trading price of the subordinate voting shares.

Risks Related to Our Subordinate Voting Shares

The dual-class structure contained in our articles has the effect of concentrating voting control and the ability to influence corporate matters with Bain Capital and our President and Chief Executive Officer, who held our shares prior to our initial public offering.

Our multiple voting shares have 10 votes per share and our subordinate voting shares have 1 vote per share. As of March 31, 2019, shareholders who hold multiple voting shares (Bain Capital and our President and Chief Executive Officer (including their respective affiliates)), together hold approximately 90% of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares and therefore have significant influence over our management and affairs and over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions.

- 24 -

In addition, because of the 10-to-1 voting ratio between our multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares, the holders of our multiple voting shares will control a majority of the combined voting power of our voting shares even where the multiple voting shares represent a substantially reduced percentage of our total outstanding shares. The concentrated voting control of holders of our multiple voting shares limits the ability of holders of our subordinate voting shares to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors as well as with respect to decisions regarding amending of our share capital, creating and issuing additional classes of shares, making significant acquisitions, selling significant assets or parts of our business, merging with other companies and undertaking other significant transactions. As a result, holders of multiple voting shares will have the ability to influence or control many matters affecting us and actions may be taken that holders of our subordinate voting shares may not view as beneficial. The market price of our subordinate voting shares could be adversely affected due to the significant influence and voting power of the holders of multiple voting shares. Additionally, the significant voting interest of holders of multiple voting shares may discourage transactions involving a change of control, including transactions in which an investor, as a holder of the subordinate voting shares, might otherwise receive a premium for the subordinate voting shares over the then-current market price, or discourage competing proposals if a going private transaction is proposed by one or more holders of multiple voting shares.

Future transfers by holders of multiple voting shares, other than permitted transfers to such holders’ respective affiliates or direct family members or to other permitted holders, will result in those shares automatically converting to subordinate voting shares, which will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of multiple voting shares who retain their multiple voting shares.

Bain Capital continues to have significant influence over us in the future, including control over decisions that require the approval of shareholders, which could limit shareholders’ ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for a vote.

We are currently controlled by Bain Capital. As of March 31, 2019, Bain Capital beneficially owned approximately 60.5% of our outstanding multiple voting shares, or approximately 54.2% of the combined voting power of our multiple voting and subordinate voting shares outstanding. In addition, our President and Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns approximately 39.5% of our outstanding multiple voting shares, or approximately 35.4% of the combined voting power of our outstanding voting shares. As long as Bain Capital owns or controls at least a majority of our outstanding voting power, it will have the ability to exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, irrespective of how our other shareholders may vote, including the election and removal of directors and the size of our board of directors, any amendment of our certificate of incorporation, notice of articles and articles, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. Even if its ownership falls below 50% of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares, Bain Capital will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. Bain Capital’s multiple voting shares convert automatically to subordinate voting shares at the time that Bain Capital and its affiliates no longer beneficially own at least 15% of the outstanding subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares on a non-diluted basis. Even once Bain Capital’s multiple voting shares convert into subordinate voting shares we may continue to be a controlled company so long as an entity controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer continues to hold multiple voting shares.

Additionally, Bain Capital’s interests may not align with the interests of our other shareholders. Bain Capital is in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Bain Capital may also pursue

- 25 -

acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We are a controlled company within the meaning of the NYSE listing rules and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

We are a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that, within one year of the date of the listing of our subordinate voting shares:


•	we have a board of directors that is composed of a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing rules;


•	we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and


•	we have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders.

As a foreign private issuer we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and therefore there may be less publicly available information about us than if we were a U.S. domestic issuer. For example, we are not subject to the proxy rules in the United States and disclosure with respect to our annual meetings and any special meeting of shareholders will be governed by Canadian requirements. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. Furthermore, as a foreign private issuer, we may take advantage of certain provisions in the NYSE listing rules that allow us to follow Canadian law for certain governance matters.

Our articles, and certain Canadian legislation contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

Certain provisions of our articles, together or separately, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control and limit the price that certain investors may be willing to pay for our subordinate voting shares. For instance, our articles contain provisions that establish certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors at shareholders’ meetings. A non-Canadian must file an application for review with the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act and obtain approval of the Minister prior to acquiring control of a “Canadian business” within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act, where prescribed financial thresholds are exceeded. Furthermore, acquisitions of our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares may be reviewed pursuant to the Competition Act (Canada). This legislation permits the Commissioner of Competition, or Commissioner, to review any acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, including through the acquisition of shares, of control over or of a significant interest in us. Otherwise, there are no limitations either under the laws of Canada or British Columbia, or in our articles on the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares. Any of these provisions may

- 26 -

discourage a potential acquirer from proposing or completing a transaction that may have otherwise presented a premium to our shareholders.

Because we are a corporation incorporated in British Columbia and some of our directors and officers are resident in Canada, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce civil liabilities against us based solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States. Similarly, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to enforce civil liabilities against our directors and officers residing outside of Canada.

We are a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia with our principal place of business in Toronto, Canada. Some of our directors and officers and the auditors or other experts named herein are residents of Canada and all or a substantial portion of our assets and those of such persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors or officers or such auditors who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the Securities Act. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts: (1) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or blue sky laws of any state within the United States or (2) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws.

Similarly, some of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these non-Canadian residents. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these non-Canadian residents judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States, based solely on violations of Canadian securities laws.

Changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations or trade rules may impact our effective tax rate and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in tax laws in any of the multiple jurisdictions in which we operate, or adverse outcomes from tax audits that we may be subject to in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate, could result in an unfavorable change in our effective tax rate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, results of the November 2016 U.S. elections have introduced greater uncertainty with respect to tax and trade policies, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the United States and other countries. Major developments in tax policy or trade relations, such as the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement or the imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported products, could have a material adverse effect on our growth opportunities, business and results of operations.

The legislation recently enacted in the United States commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act comprehensively changes the U.S. federal income tax system. This law and related future legislation, regulations and rulings could adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of us and the U.S. Holders of our subordinate voting shares. The interpretation and application of many provisions of this law are unclear. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors in that regard.

- 27 -

There could be adverse tax consequence for our shareholders in the United States if we are a passive foreign investment company.

Under United States federal income tax laws, if a company is, or for any past period was, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) it could have adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders even if the company is no longer a PFIC. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually based on all the facts and circumstances and thus is subject to change, and the principles and methodology used in determining whether a company is a PFIC are subject to interpretation. We do not believe that we currently are or have been a PFIC, and we do not expect to be a PFIC in the future, but we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC in the future. United States purchasers of our subordinate voting shares are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning United States federal income tax consequences of holding our subordinate voting shares if we are considered to be a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC, U.S. holders would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as ineligibility for any preferred tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations. Whether or not U.S. holders make a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election or mark-to-market election may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our subordinate voting shares and any distributions such U.S. holders may receive. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the application of the PFIC rules to our subordinate voting shares.

Canada Goose Holdings Inc. is a holding company with no operations of its own and, as such, it depends on its subsidiary for cash to fund its operations and expenses, including future dividend payments, if any.

As a holding company, our principal source of cash flow is distributions from our main operating subsidiary, Canada Goose Inc. Therefore, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, in the future will depend on the ability of our subsidiary to generate sufficient cash flow to make upstream cash distributions to us. Our subsidiary is a separate legal entity, and although it is wholly-owned and controlled by us, it has no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. The ability of our subsidiary to distribute cash to us will also be subject to, among other things, restrictions that may be contained in our subsidiary agreements (as entered into from time to time), availability of sufficient funds in such subsidiary and applicable laws and regulatory restrictions. Claims of any creditors of our subsidiary generally will have priority as to the assets of such subsidiary over our claims and claims of our creditors and shareholders. To the extent the ability of our subsidiary to distribute dividends or other payments to us is limited in any way, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, could be harmed.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our subordinate voting shares adversely, the price and trading volume of our subordinate voting shares could decline.

The trading market for our subordinate voting shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who cover us or may cover us in the future change their recommendation regarding our subordinate voting shares adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our subordinate voting shares would likely decline. If any analyst who covers us or may cover us in the future were to cease coverage of our

- 28 -

company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price or trading volume of our subordinate voting shares to decline.

Our constating documents permit us to issue an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares without additional shareholder approval.

Our articles permit us to issue an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares. We anticipate that we will, from time to time, issue additional subordinate voting shares in the future. Subject to the requirements of the NYSE and the TSX, we will not be required to obtain the approval of shareholders for the issuance of additional subordinate voting shares. Although the rules of the TSX generally prohibit us from issuing additional multiple voting shares, there may be certain circumstances where additional multiple voting shares may be issued, including upon receiving shareholder approval. Any further issuances of subordinate voting shares or multiple voting shares will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of their shareholdings. Additionally, any further issuances of multiple voting shares may significantly lessen the combined voting power of our subordinate voting shares due to the 10-to-1 voting ratio between our multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

Founded in a small warehouse in Toronto in 1957, Canada Goose has grown into one of the world’s leading makers of performance luxury apparel. Our products are informed by the rugged demands of the Arctic and inspired by relentless innovation and uncompromised craftsmanship. From the coldest places on Earth to global fashion capitals, people are proud to wear Canada Goose.

We are deeply involved in every stage of our business as a designer, manufacturer, distributor and retailer of outerwear, knitwear and accessories for men, women and children. This vertically integrated business model allows us to directly control the quality of our products while capturing higher margins. As of March 31, 2019, our products are sold through our DTC channel, which has e-commerce operations in 12 countries and 11 retail stores, and our wholesale channel, which is comprised of select wholesale partners in 49 countries.

In December 2013, we partnered with Bain Capital through a sale of a 70% equity interest in our business (the “Acquisition”). In connection with such sale, Canada Goose Holdings Inc. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”) on November 21, 2013. The initial public offering of our subordinate voting shares in the United States and Canada was completed on March 21, 2017.

In November 2018, we acquired the business of Baffin Inc. (“Baffin”), a Canadian designer and manufacturer of performance outdoor and industrial footwear. Field-tested and trusted in extreme cold weather conditions, Baffin products are predominantly sold through distributors and retailers in Canada and the United States. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, Baffin is managed and operated on a stand-alone basis, with distinct products, sales channels, and customers. In the future, we intend to develop a separate Canada Goose footwear offering leveraging Baffin’s expertise, infrastructure and technology.

Our principal office is located at 250 Bowie Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6E 4Y2 and our telephone number is (416) 780-9850.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths are central to the power of our brand and business model:

Authentic brand. For decades, we have helped explorers, scientists, athletes and film crews embrace the elements in some of the harshest environments in the world. Our stories are real and are best told through the unfiltered lens of Goose People, our brand ambassadors. The journeys, achievements and attitudes of these incredible adventurers embody our core belief that greatness is out there and they inspire our customers to chart their own course.

Uncompromised craftsmanship. We develop superior functional products centered around protection from the elements and adaptability for a wide range of uses, climates and environments. Our expertise in matching our technical fabrics with the optimal blends of down enables us to create warmer, lighter and more durable products. The superior quality and performance of our products also extends into freedom of movement, breathability and protection from wind and rain.

Beloved and coveted globally. We believe that Canada Goose is the reference parka in the performance luxury space. On a global basis, consumer research shows that we are consistently amongst the highest in our competitive set for awareness and affinity. In a market which is largely fragmented and regional, the international breadth of our brand equity is a significant point of strength.

Proudly made in Canada. Our Canadian heritage and commitment to local manufacturing are at the heart of our business and brand. While many companies in our industry outsource to offshore manufacturers, we are deeply committed to producing our core down-filled jackets in Canada where we currently estimate that we directly or indirectly employ approximately 20% of the national cut and sew workforce. We believe that our recognized Made-in-Canada leadership is valued by our customers and difficult to replicate.

Flexible supply chain. We directly control the design, innovation, development, engineering and testing of our products, which we believe allows us to achieve greater operating efficiencies and deliver superior product quality. We manage our production through a combination of in-house manufacturing facilities and long-standing relationships with third party sub-contractors. Our flexible supply chain gives us distinct advantages including the ability to scale our operations, adapt to customer demand and achieve higher margins.

Multi-channel distribution. Our distribution strategy allows us to reach customers how and where they want to shop, through two distinct and complementary channels. In our most important markets, our DTC channel allows us to have direct and unfiltered relationships with our customers, while also realizing more favourable margins. In a world that is increasingly digital, our e-commerce platform is strong and dynamic, offering the full breadth of our product offering, available anytime. The response to our retail stores, which we began opening in the Fall of 2016, has also demonstrated that our customers value physical and immersive experiences, such as our cold rooms, in an exceptional service environment. We also recognize that many consumers value shopping in multi-brand environments. Our wholesale channel, which represented 2,227 points of distribution during

- 30 -

the Fall / Winter 2018 season, plays an important role in our business, extending the reach and diversity of our distribution to a level we would never want to replicate on our own. We work closely with our curated network of best-in-class partners and distributors, to ensure the highest standards of customer experience and brand storytelling.

Proven management team. Dani Reiss, our President and Chief Executive Officer since 2001, has led the transformation of Canada Goose from a small Canadian jacket manufacturer to a global luxury brand. Mr. Reiss has played a central role in transitioning the business into a consumer-facing brand, developing our international markets and building a world-class team of senior business leaders. With a deep commitment to disciplined execution, our current management team has established our innovative multi-channel distribution model, rapidly scaled Made-in-Canada manufacturing and successfully evolved our product offering beyond the parka.


B.	Business Overview

Our Growth Strategies

From fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019, we have grown our revenue at a 43.4% CAGR to $830.5 million from $403.8 million . Despite this rapid trajectory, we believe we still benefit from significant growth opportunities.

Pursue global growth. We believe that we have a significant opportunity to grow demand, distribution and penetration, in both existing and new geographic markets.

Strengthen brand affinity. Driving interest from new customers and building deeper connections with those who already know us is central to our market development strategy. While our brand is recognized and coveted globally, we have potential to meaningfully increase awareness, consideration and conversion. Through authentic storytelling and unique experiences, amplified by our digital-first approach, we plan to continue introducing Canada Goose to the world, activating local markets to support our distribution, and encouraging our fans to explore the full breadth of our offering.

Enhance our wholesale network. With a focus on providing a compelling and consistent brand experience, we plan to drive growth with our best-in-class wholesale partners and distributors, while selectively adding new points of distribution. Through a wide range of collaborations in areas such as assortment planning, merchandising, creative content, events and campaigns, we are working closely with our wholesale network to build awareness and affinity for the long term, while driving traffic and full price sell through.

Continue our DTC rollout. Since opening our first e-commerce site in Canada in August of 2014, we have achieved annual DTC revenue of $ 431.3 million in fiscal 2019 , which represents 51.9% of total revenue. Alongside measured growth in our complementary wholesale channel, we intend to continue growing revenue from existing e-commerce operations and retail stores, while further expanding our footprint in our most important markets.

Drive higher penetration globally. While we plan to continue expanding our business in Canada, we have a larger long-term opportunity globally. In recent years, we have had early success developing a wide range of geographies including the United States, the United Kingdom and Greater China. Building on this momentum, we plan to drive further penetration gains in major

- 31 -

international markets where we already enjoy strong demand, through our proven approach to brand building and distribution expansion.

The following table presents our revenue in each of our geographic segments over the past three fiscal years:



In CAD $millions	Fiscal year ended March 31,			'17 - '19
	2017	2018	2019	CAGR
Canada	155.1	228.8	293.3	37.5	%
United States	131.9	184.2	251.1	38.0	%
Rest of World	116.8	178.2	286.1	56.5	%
Total	403.8	591.2	830.5	43.4	%

Canada, which is our most developed market in terms of brand affinity and distribution, was our largest geographic segment by revenue in fiscal 2019. Comparatively, in the United States and our Rest of World segment, which is comprised of key markets in Western Europe and Asia, we estimate that the populations of addressable Canada Goose consumers are much larger. This is also supported by broader luxury outerwear and apparel spending levels in these regions. With penetration at an earlier stage of development in these markets, coupled with larger addressable populations, we believe that we have substantial remaining runway to increase the size of our business globally.

In fiscal 2019, for the first time, the revenue in our Rest of World segment exceeded our revenue in the United States, and nearly matched our revenue in Canada, reflecting good progress in developing major international markets in Western Europe and Greater China.

Enhance and expand our product offering. As a product-led, function-first brand we will continue to evolve and expand our product offering across styles, uses and climates. Giving people new ways to experience Canada Goose builds deeper brand loyalty, drives higher penetration and expands our geographic appeal.

Fall / Winter. While our long-standing styles continue to grow, we are also broadening our jacket offering through innovation and new styles. In fiscal 2019 we successfully introduced over 21 new down-filled jacket styles and 11 colours in our Fall / Winter collection. With outerwear becoming a more prominent part of wardrobes, we intend to continue responding to demand for more choice and variety with new jackets that address a wider range of silhouettes, colors, fits, uses and weather conditions.

Spring. We plan to continue successfully building out our Spring collections in categories such as lightweight down, rainwear, windwear and softshell jackets. While keeping our customers warm, comfortable and protected across three seasons, these extensions also increase our relevance in markets with more temperate climates.

Beyond outerwear. Our strategy is to selectively and carefully respond to customer demand for complementary functional products in adjacent categories. As a product-led, function-first brand, we are focused on going places which stay true to our heritage and where we have the right capabilities to create exceptional products that are undeniably authentic Canada Goose. Outside of outerwear, we currently offer collections of knitwear and accessories, which we intend to

- 32 -

thoughtfully expand in offering and distribution going forward. We are also developing a strategy and internal capabilities for a cold weather footwear offering, which we plan to commercially release in the medium to longer term.

Drive higher margins. As we scale our business, we plan to continue leveraging our brand and business model to drive operational efficiencies and higher margins in the following ways:

Channel mix. As our mix continues to shift towards the DTC channel, we expect to continue to capture incremental gross margin and realize higher operating margins. A jacket sale in our DTC channel provides significantly greater contribution to segment operating income per jacket as compared to a sale of the same product in our wholesale channel.

Price optimization. We believe that we have a significant degree of pricing power with our long-standing styles and we plan to continue optimizing our pricing to capture their full functional value. In addition, we intend to continue offering new styles at higher price points, which is incrementally beneficial to gross margin over the longer term as their volumes and production efficiencies scale.

Manufacturing. We intend to continue expanding in-house domestic jacket production to optimize our manufacturing mix, realize efficiencies and capture incremental gross margin. In fiscal 2019, 47% of total down-filled jacket production was in-house, as compared to 43% in fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2019, we opened a third manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba and a second manufacturing facility in Greater Montreal, Quebéc.

Our Products

Outerwear

Since 1957, Canada Goose has been making purpose-driven products known for unparalleled warmth and functionality to thrive in some of the most extreme conditions in the world.

Over time, our product offering has evolved significantly. We leverage our tactical industrial heritage to inspire, develop and refine functional outerwear for extreme conditions and beyond. Recognizing that our consumers want to bring the functionality of our Arctic parkas into their everyday lives, we have expanded our offering for a wider range of audiences, including urban explorers and discerning luxury consumers. True to our heritage, we partner with Goose People as a source of inspiration and real-world testing. For example, while developing our award-winning HyBridge Lite product, Ray Zahab, extreme adventure athlete, put the jacket to the test while running the Sahara. The Skreslet Parka, co-designed by Laurie Skreslet, the first Canadian to summit Everest, inspired our Altitude line of mountaineering products.

We have also expanded into functional outerwear for shoulder seasons and more temperate climates. Canada Goose’s authentic, adaptable and function-first approach to design delivers true protection from unpredictable weather anywhere. Our collection of raincoats, windwear and lightweight jackets are designed to offer unparalleled performance on their own - and unmatched adaptability when worn as a system.

Knitwear

Canada Goose introduced its first Knitwear Collection in 2017, pairing the natural moisture wicking and temperature regulating properties of premium ultra-fine Merino wool with the function-first focus at the core of all of our products. Our knitwear uses Thermal Mapping™ technology for

- 33 -

maximum comfort by increasing breathability where your body needs it most. This technique combines loose and tight stitches to increase airflow to the parts of the body that generate the most heat or require more insulation.

Accessories

Canada Goose’s accessories are designed to transition seamlessly from weekday commutes to weekend retreats. Our collection of scarves and beanies are made in Italy from premium ultra-fine Merino wool and our gloves are available in reinforced leather that resists abrasion or in heavy duty fleece and down-filled styles for ultimate warmth in colder climates.

Thermal Experience Index ™

From hiking trails to embarking on an urban adventure, or exploring the coldest places on Earth, Canada Goose has developed the Thermal Experience Index (TEI) to help consumers select the right product for them no matter the adventure. The five-point system breaks down each piece into a category, activity and suggested temperature. TEI categorizes warmth from lightweight pieces to parkas made for extreme weather systems; ranging from five degrees Celsius (40 degrees Fahrenheit) to negative 30 degrees Celsius (negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit) and below.

Sourcing and Manufacturing

Uncompromised craftsmanship begins with sourcing the right raw materials. We use premium fabrics and finishings that are built to last. Our blends of down and fabrics enable us to create warmer, lighter and more durable products across seasons and applications. Our products are made with down because it is recognized as one of the world’s best natural insulators.

We are committed to the ethical sourcing and responsible use of animal products. We have comprehensive transparency standards for fur and down which reflect our commitment to the responsible use of these materials. Our suppliers are required to verify that our down comes as a by-product of poultry industry and has not come from force-fed or live-plucked birds and mandates that all fur is sourced in accordance with the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards or Best Management Practices.

As of March 31, 2019, we operate eight manufacturing facilities in Toronto, Winnipeg and Greater Montreal. We also work with 27 Canadian subcontractors and 8 international highly qualified manufacturing partners who offer specialized expertise, which provides us with flexibility to scale our production and effectively offer a broader range of product categories. We directly employed 3,104 Canadian manufacturing employees as of March 31, 2019, as compared to 2,043 manufacturing employees since March 31, 2018, and have been recognized by the Government of Canada for supporting the apparel manufacturing industry in Canada.

Intellectual Property

We own the trademarks used in connection with the marketing, distribution and sale of all of our products in the United States, Canada and in the other countries in which our products are sold. Our major trademarks include the CANADA GOOSE word mark and the ARCTIC PROGRAM & DESIGN trademark (our disc logo consisting of the colour-inverse design of the North Pole and Arctic Ocean). In addition to the registrations in Canada and the United States, our word mark and design are registered in other jurisdictions which cover approximately 60 countries. Furthermore, in certain jurisdictions we register as trademarks certain elements of our products, such as fabric, warmth categorization and style names such as our Snow Mantra parka.

- 34 -

We enforce our trademarks and we have taken several measures to protect our customers from counterfeiting activities. Since 2011, we have sewn a unique hologram, designed exclusively for us, into every jacket and accessory as proof of authenticity. Additionally, our website has a tool for potential online customers to verify the integrity of third party retailers that purport to sell our products. We are also active in enforcing rights on a global basis to our trademarks and taking action against counterfeiters, online and in physical stores.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal in nature. See Item 5.A - “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results” - “Factors Affecting our Performance” - “Seasonality” and Item 3.D - “Risk Factors” - “Risks Related to our Business” for a discussion.

Government Regulation

In Canada and in the other jurisdictions in which we operate, we are subject to labour and employment laws, laws governing advertising, privacy and data security laws, safety regulations and other laws, including consumer protection regulations that apply to retailers and/or the promotion and sale of merchandise and the operation of stores and warehouse facilities. Our products sold outside of Canada are subject to tariffs, treaties and various trade agreements as well as laws affecting the importation of consumer goods. We monitor changes in these laws, regulations, treaties and agreements, and believe that we are in material compliance with applicable laws.

(“us,” “we,” “our,” “Canada Goose” or the “Company”) is dated May 28, 2019 and provides information concerning our financial condition and results of operations for the three months and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 (“fiscal 2019 ”). You should read this MD&A together with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 (“Annual Financial Statements”), and other financial information. Additional information about Canada Goose is available on our website at www.canadagoose.com, on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, and on the EDGAR section of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov, including this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD ‑ LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in many places throughout this MD&A and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, business prospects, growth, strategies, expectations regarding industry trends and the size and growth rates of addressable markets, our business plan and growth strategies, including plans for expansion to new markets and new products, expectations for seasonal trends, and the industry in which we operate.

Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include:


•	our ability to implement our growth strategies;


•	our ability to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, suppliers, wholesalers and distributors;


•	our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;


•	our ability to protect our intellectual property; and


•	the absence of material adverse changes in our industry or the global economy.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report, which include, but are not limited to, the following risks:


•	we may not open retail stores or expand e-commerce access on our planned timelines;


•	we may be unable to maintain the strength of our brand or to expand our brand to new products and geographies;


•	we may be unable to protect or preserve our brand image and proprietary rights;

- 40 -


•	we may not be able to satisfy changing consumer preferences;


•	an economic downturn may affect discretionary consumer spending;


•	we may not be able to compete in our markets effectively;


•	we may not be able to manage our growth effectively;


•	poor performance during our peak season may affect our operating results for the full year;


•	our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial condition;


•	we may be unable to remediate weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting on a timely basis;


•	our ability to maintain relationships with our select number of suppliers;


•	our ability to manage our product distribution through our wholesale partners and international distributors;


•	the success of our new store openings;


•	the success of our expansion into Greater China;


•	the success of our marketing programs;


•	our ability to forecast our inventory needs;


•	our ability to manage our exposure to data security and cyber security events;


•	the risk our business is interrupted because of a disruption at our headquarters; and


•	fluctuations in raw material costs, interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Although we base the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, we caution you that actual results and developments (including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate) may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. In addition, even if results and developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A, those results and developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this MD&A may prove to be inaccurate. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks often emerge. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

You should read this MD&A and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this MD&A, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by applicable laws.

Segments

We report our results in two segments which are aligned with our sales channels: Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”). We measure each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and segment operating income. Through our wholesale segment, we sell to wholesale partners. Our DTC segment includes sales to customers online through our e-commerce sites and through our retail stores in the following regions and locations:



E-commerce markets		Company stores
Austria		Beijing
Belgium		Boston
Canada		Calgary
Greater China		Chicago
France		Hong Kong
Germany		London
Ireland		Montreal
Luxembourg		New York City
Netherlands		Short Hills, NJ
Sweden		Toronto
United Kingdom		Vancouver
United States

Our DTC and wholesale segments represented 51.9% and 48.1% of our total revenue, respectively, in fiscal 2019 . For fiscal 2018 , the DTC and wholesale segments contributed 43.1% and 56.9% of the total revenue, respectively, and for fiscal 2017 , the DTC and wholesale segments contributed 28.5% and 71.5% , respectively. The overall growth in sales along with the increased proportion of sales in the DTC segment is expected to continue as we open more retail stores and expand e-commerce access in future years.

Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us and may pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below.

•

Market Development. Our market development strategy has been a key driver of our recent revenue growth and we plan to continue to execute our global expansion strategy. Across our various markets, we intend to continue increasing brand awareness and activating local markets while building out customer access in our wholesale and DTC channels. We expect that marketing expenses to support these initiatives will continue to grow in proportion to anticipated revenue growth. In executing this strategy, we have expanded our presence in the Greater China market in fiscal 2019.


•	Growth in our DTC Channel. We introduced our DTC channel in fiscal 2015 with the launch of our Canadian e-commerce store and have since established e-commerce sites in the U.S. and in key markets in Europe and Greater China. In fiscal 2019, for the first time, revenue generated through our DTC Channel made up more than half of our total revenue.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we opened our first two retail stores and have since opened nine stores across the globe, including stores in Short Hills, NJ, Hong Kong, Vancouver, Montreal, and Beijing in fiscal 2019. We intend to continue to open a select

- 44 -

number of additional retail locations in major metropolitan centres and premium outdoor and lifestyle destinations where we believe they can operate profitably, and have announced six new retail store locations for fiscal 2020.

Growth in our DTC channel is expected to continue to alter the seasonal concentration of our revenue since customers tend to purchase goods in retail stores and on e-commerce sites at a higher rate in our third and fourth fiscal quarters, compared to the wholesale business, where products are delivered to wholesale partners in the second and third quarters ahead of their peak selling season.

•

New Products . Product design and innovation are a core part of our strategy and we intend to continue investing in the development and introduction of new products. We intend to continue to expand our Fall/Winter and Spring collections of outerwear, knitwear and accessories across styles, uses and climates. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the business of Baffin Inc. (the “Baffin Vendor”), in November, 2018 (the “Baffin acquisition”), we intend to continue to offer Baffin brand footwear through its own sales channels. We are also developing a separate Canada Goose footwear offering leveraging Baffin’s infrastructure, processes, and technology. We launched our knitwear collection in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. As we introduce additional products, we expect that they will supplement the seasonal nature of our business. We expect these products will be accretive to revenue but may carry a lower gross margin per unit relative to our long-standing styles which are produced in significantly higher volumes.

•

Seasonality. We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results and historically have realized a significant portion of our annual wholesale revenue during our second and third fiscal quarters and DTC revenue in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. We generated 75.8% , 74.2% , and 83.5% of our consolidated revenues in the combined second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal 2019 , fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively. In our wholesale channel, we have visibility into expected future revenues, with a majority of orders received before the end of the prior fiscal year, enabling us to plan our manufacturing calendar. That said, seasonal fluctuations in wholesale and distributor customer demand have shifted the delivery timing of customer orders between quarters in the past and similar shifts may affect the quarterly pattern of wholesale revenue in future. Because of seasonal fluctuations in revenue and fixed costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, we typically experience reduced or negative net income and adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ in the first and fourth quarters. As a result of our seasonality, changes that impact gross margin and adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ can have a disproportionate impact on the quarterly results when they are recorded in our off-peak periods.


⁽¹⁾	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for a description of these measures.

Guided by expected demand and wholesale orders, we manufacture on a linear basis throughout the fiscal year, resulting in the buildup of inventory ahead of our peak season. Net working capital requirements typically increase in off-peak periods as inventory builds to support our peak shipping and selling season. We finance these needs through a combination of cash on hand, cash from operations, and borrowings on our U.S. dollar denominated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). Cash flows from operating activities are typically highest in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year due to the peak revenue period for DTC and collection of receivables from wholesale revenue earlier in the year.

- 45 -

•

Developments in international trade. We continue to prepare for the impact on our operations in Europe and the U.K. as a result of the proposed British exit from the European Union (“Brexit”). We do not expect any consequences, positive or negative, emanating from recent trade negotiations in connection with the proposed United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”). The Company is currently benefiting from reduced tariffs on certain of our products imported into Europe under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (“CETA”) which entered into force provisionally on September 21, 2017 and is pending ratification by certain EU countries. We monitor developments in international trade in countries where we operate that could have an impact on our business.

•

Foreign Exchange. We sell a significant portion of our products to customers outside of Canada, which exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal years 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , we generated 58.0% , 53.7% and 52.2% , respectively, of our revenue in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As most of our wholesale revenue is derived from wholesale orders made prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, we have a high degree of visibility into our anticipated future cash flows from wholesale operations. In addition, most of our raw materials are sourced outside of Canada, primarily in U.S. dollars, and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are typically denominated in the currency of the country in which they are incurred. As part of our risk management program, this extended visibility allows us to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage certain of our exposures to exchange rate fluctuations for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to translation and transaction risks associated with foreign currency exchange fluctuations on the principal and interest payable on our Revolving Facility and senior secured term loan facility (“ Term Loan Facility”). On October 18, 2017, we entered into foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange and interest rate risk on the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Foreign Exchange Risk” below.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Wholesale revenue is comprised of sales to third party resellers, which includes distributors and retailers of our products. Wholesale revenue from the sale of goods, net of an estimated provision for sales returns, discounts and allowances, is recognized when the control of the goods has been transferred to the reseller, which, depending on the terms of the agreement with the reseller, occurs when the products have been shipped to the reseller, are picked up from our third-party warehouse or arrive at the reseller’s facilities.

DTC revenue consists of sales through our e-commerce operations and retail stores. Revenue through e-commerce operations and retail stores is recognized upon delivery of the goods to the customer and when collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Gross profit is our revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of manufacturing our products, including raw materials, direct labour and overhead, plus freight, duties and non-refundable taxes incurred in delivering the goods to distribution centres managed by third parties or to our retail stores. It also includes costs incurred in our production, design and merchandise departments, as well as inventory provisions and allowances related to obsolescence and shrinkage. The primary drivers of our cost of sales are the costs of raw materials (which are sourced in both Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars), manufacturing labour rates in the provinces of Canada and the allocation of overhead. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Inventory acquired in connection with the Baffin acquisition was recorded at its fair value, measured as net realizable value, less costs to sell. When the opening inventory is sold, the gross profit that would otherwise have been recognized without the inventory valuation adjustment will reduce the associated gross profit and gross margin.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses consist of selling costs to support our customer relationships and to deliver our products to our wholesale partners, e-commerce customers and retail stores. It also includes our marketing and brand investment activities and the corporate infrastructure required to support our ongoing operations. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in SG&A and comprise the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries, including cash balances, the Term Loan Facility, and a portion of our Revolving Facility, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, gains or losses associated with our term loan hedges, and realized gains on settlement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

- 47 -

Selling costs, other than headcount-related costs, generally correlate to revenue timing and therefore experience similar seasonal trends. As a percentage of sales, we expect these selling costs to continue to change as our business evolves. This change has been and is expected to be primarily driven by the growth of our DTC channel, including the investment required to support e-commerce sites and retail stores. Retail store costs are mostly fixed and are incurred throughout the year. The growth of our DTC channel has been and is expected to be accretive to net income given that the higher gross margin for sales made through our DTC channel captures the full retail value of our products.

General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred in our corporate offices, primarily related to marketing, personnel costs, including salaries, variable incentive compensation, benefits, share-based compensation, technology support and other professional service costs. We have invested considerably in this area to support the growing volume and complexity of our business and anticipate continuing to do so in the future.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. The primary regions that determine the effective tax rate are Canada, the U.S., Switzerland and the U.K.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

The Company has initiated a normal course issuer bid in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company is authorized to make purchases under the normal course issuer bid from May 31, 2019 to May 30, 2020, in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). The board of directors of the Company has authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,600,000 subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 2.70% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares as at May 17, 2019. Purchases will be made by means of open market transactions on both the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as a securities regulatory authority may permit. Under the normal course issuer bid, the Company will be allowed to purchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 131,422 subordinate voting shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume, as calculated per the TSX rules for the six-month period starting on November 1, 2018 and ending on April 30, 2019. Repurchased subordinate voting shares will be cancelled. A copy of the Company's notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Company.

The Company believes that the purchase of its subordinate voting shares under the normal course issuer bid is an appropriate and desirable use of available excess cash.

Over the past 12 months, no subordinate voting shares have been repurchased by the Company under a normal course issuer bid.

Wholesale

Revenue from our wholesale channel was $399.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $336.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase of $63.0m in revenue from our wholesale channel was driven primarily from higher order values from existing wholesale partners. Incremental revenue from Baffin and favourable foreign exchange fluctuations also contributed positively.

DTC

Revenue from our DTC channel was $431.3m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $255.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in revenue of $176.3m from our DTC channel was driven by the incremental revenue from five new retail stores and the launch of the Greater China e-commerce market. This was complemented by strong performances from established e-commerce markets and retail stores.

- 51 -

Revenue increased across all our geographic regions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . This revenue growth is primarily attributable to the increased proportion of sales in the DTC segment and through the incremental revenues generated from retail stores and e-commerce sites that were not open throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Further, there is an increase in the proportion of revenues in Rest of World primarily attributable to the increase in retail stores and e-commerce access internationally.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 increased by $70.1m , or 28.8% , compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Gross profit and gross margin for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $516.8m and 62.2% , respectively, compared to $347.6m and 58.8% , respectively, for fiscal 2018 . The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to revenue growth and favourable changes in channel mix, with a higher proportion of revenue from our DTC channel than in fiscal 2018 , offset by higher direct labour costs. Gross margin improved primarily due to margin expansion in both the wholesale and DTC channels as a result of ongoing cost efficiencies and pricing outweighing the reinvestment in cost inflation and new categories.

Wholesale

Cost of sales in our wholesale channel was $207.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $178.4m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Gross profit was $192.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $157.8m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Wholesale gross margin increased to 48.1% in fiscal 2019 from 46.9% of segment revenue in fiscal 2018. The $34.4m increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to revenue growth. The increase in gross margin primarily reflects the impact of pricing, offset by increases in manufacturing labour costs. To a lesser degree, wholesale gross margin was also impacted by production efficiencies in manufacturing overhead, partially offset by changes in product mix.

DTC

Cost of sales in our DTC channel was $106.7m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $65.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Gross profit was $324.6m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared to $189.8m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . DTC gross margin increased from 74.4% of segment revenue to 75.3% in fiscal 2019 . The increase in DTC channel gross profit was attributable to the continued strong performances of our existing retail stores and e-commerce sites, as well as the incremental gross profit generated from our four retail stores which opened in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and five retail stores which opened in fiscal 2019 . The increase in gross margin reflects pricing and production efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in direct labour manufacturing costs and shift in product mix with a higher proportion of lightweight down jacket sales.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $302.1m compared to $200.1m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase of $102.0m or 51.0% repr esents support for ongoing business growth and new growth opportunities including the expansion into Greater China and the Baffin acquisition. The increase was primarily driven by the expansion of our DTC footprint, increased investment in marketing to build the brand and demand, as well as the start-up costs of our Greater China operations. The business has continued to scale, with investment in headcount in corporate activities as well as information technology-related expenditures to support the growth of the business. We also incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of Baffin and the public offerings of shares by our principal shareholders (the “Secondary Offerings”) completed in June and November 2018 compared with the costs of the Secondary Offering in June 2017.

SG&A expenses in our wholesale channel for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $43.0m compared to $37.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . SG&A expenses in the wholesale segment decreased from 11.1% of segment revenue to 10.8% in fiscal 2019 . The increase of $5.8m or 15.6% in SG&A expenses is a result of an increase in headcount and other fixed costs to support sales and operations of the wholesale business, partially offset by favourable distribution efficiencies as we consolidated warehouses.

- 53 -

DTC

SG&A expenses in our DTC channel for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $90.0m compared to $55.1m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . SG&A expenses in the DTC segment decreased from 21.6% of segment revenue to 20.9% in fiscal 2019 . The increase of $34.9m or 63.3% was primarily attributable to the incremental operating costs of four retail stores and additional e-commerce sites launched in fiscal 2018 , and five additional retail stores that opened during fiscal 2019 . In addition, management fees to third party operating partners were incurred in connection with DTC operations in Greater China. Offsetting this trend were lower pre-opening costs for new retail stores of $2.3m in fiscal 2019, compared to pre-opening costs of $4.8m in fiscal 2018 . Revenue growth outpaced SG&A expense increases, resulting in positive leverage.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $169.1m compared to $107.8m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $61.3m , or 56.9% was primarily a result of costs of entering the Greater China market, increased investment in marketing, and people and information technology-related scaling costs. Costs also include $3.0m of transaction and other costs in connection with the Baffin acquisition and $2.1m of transaction costs for the Secondary Offerings completed in June and November 2018, compared with costs of $1.5m for the Secondary Offering in June 2017.

Operating Income and Margin

The increase of $28.6m was primarily attributable to higher gross profit driven by overall demand growth. The increase in

operating margin is attributable to higher gross margin for the reasons described above, and lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment revenue.

DTC

DTC segment operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was $234.6m compared to $134.7m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . Operating margin for the DTC segment increased to 54.4% in fiscal 2019 from 52.8% of segment revenue. The increase of $99.9m was driven by the strong performance of our retail stores and e-commerce sites, partially offset by $2.3m of pre-opening costs incurred for our five retail store locations which opened in fiscal 2019 compared to $4.8m pre-opening costs for our four retail store locations which opened in fiscal 2018. As we continue to open more retail stores and expand e-commerce access in the future, we expect the proportion of operating income generated from our DTC channel to continue to increase.

Net Interest and Other Finance Costs

Net interest and finance costs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $14.2m , compared to $12.9m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase of $1.3m is driven by higher average interest rates on the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was $38.9m compared to $29.1m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate were 21.3% and 25.4% , respectively, compared to 23.3% and 25.4% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 .

The effective tax rates for both the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are lower than their corresponding statutory tax rates. For both the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , this arises from the statutory tax rate differences in our foreign jurisdictions. As a significant portion of wholesale revenue and consolidated net income is attributed to an entity with a lower effective tax rate, this contributes to the reduction of rates.

Net Income

Net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was $143.6m compared to $96.1m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 , driven by the factors described above.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 increased by $51.9m or 27.1% , compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . This was driven primarily by higher sales volume. Gross profit and gross margin for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were $347.6m and 58.8% , respectively, compared to $212.1m and 52.5% , respectively, for the same period in fiscal 2017 . The increase in gross profit and expanded gross margin in fiscal 2018 were primarily attributable to favourable changes in channel mix, with a higher proportion of revenue from our DTC channel as compared to fiscal 2017 , partially offset by higher inventory adjustments.

Cost of sales in our wholesale channel was $178.4m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $163.5m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . Gross profit was $157.8m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $125.1m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . Wholesale gross margin increased to 46.9% from 43.3% of segment revenue in fiscal 2018. The increase of $32.7m in gross profit was primarily attributable to demand growth in customer orders, including re-orders. In addition, both gross profit and gross margin increased due to a greater proportion of wholesale revenue from higher margin jackets within our Fall/Winter collection and lower material costs, partially offset by higher inventory provisions in fiscal 2018 .

DTC

Cost of sales in our DTC channel was $65.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $28.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . Gross profit was $189.8m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $87.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . DTC gross margin slightly decreased from 75.5% of segment revenue to 74.4% in the period. The increase in DTC channel gross profit of $102.8m was attributable to the continued strong performance of our existing retail stores and e-commerce sites, as well as the incremental gross profit generated from our four new Company-owned retail stores and additional eight e-commerce sites which opened in fiscal 2018 . Gross margin decreased because of a higher proportion of sales in the non-peak season of lower margin products.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were $200.1m compared to $165.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The increase of $35.1m or 21.3% includes expenses that did not recur in fiscal 2018, including a $9.6m fee related to the termination of the Management Agreement and $10.0m of transaction costs related to the IPO. SG&A expenses in fiscal 2017 before these items amounted to $145.4m ; the increase in SG&A expenses, excluding these amounts in 2017, was $54.8m or 37.7% . The increase is the result of expansion of the DTC footprint, increased investment in marketing, professional fees, primarily related to public company compliance and expansion in headcount to accommodate business growth, partially offset by higher foreign exchange gains of $9.3m in fiscal 2018, as well as lower share-based compensation expense.

SG&A expenses in the DTC segment decreased to 21.6% from 23.8% of segment revenue in the period. The increase of $27.6m or 100.4% was primarily attributable to the continued operating costs of our Toronto and New York retail stores for the full year in fiscal 2018 , the incremental operating costs of recently opened retail stores and eight e-commerce sites which launched in fiscal 2018 , and the pre-opening costs of $4.8m incurred for our Boston, Calgary, Chicago and London stores, compared to $1.8m in pre-opening costs for our Toronto and New York stores in fiscal 2017 .

Wholesale

Wholesale segment operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $120.6m compared to $94.4m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . Operating margin in the wholesale segment increased to 35.9% from 32.7% of segment revenue in the period. The increase of $26.2m and improved operating margin were primarily attributable to higher gross profit driven by overall volume growth and improved gross margin for the reasons described above.

DTC

DTC segment operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $134.7m compared to $59.5m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . Operating margin for the DTC segment increased to 52.8% from 51.7% of segment revenue in the period. The increase of $75.2m was driven by the strong performances of our new and existing retail stores and e-commerce sites, as described above, partially offset by $4.8m of pre-opening costs incurred for our Boston, Calgary, Chicago and London retail store locations which opened in fiscal 2018 , compared to $1.8m of retail store pre-opening costs in fiscal 2017 . As we continue to open more retail stores and expand e-commerce access in the future, we expect the proportion of operating income generated from our DTC channel to continue to increase.

Net Interest and Other Finance Costs

Net interest and finance costs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were $12.9m , compared to $10.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 , an increase of $2.9m.

Interest expense on the Revolving Facility and the previous credit facility decreased by $0.6m in fiscal 2018 due to a lower average loan balance outstanding during the year. In fiscal 2017 , $0.9m of unamortized costs were written off due to repayment of the previous credit facility.

The debt structure of the Company changed substantially in fiscal 2017 as a result of a series of share capital and debt transactions we completed on December 2, 2016 ( the “Recapitalization”) and the IPO on March 21, 2017. Interest expense on the Term Loan Facility increased by $3.6m in fiscal 2018 because the loan was outstanding for the full year, but at a lower balance after repayment of $65.0m from the proceeds of the IPO. Interest expense was incurred for four months in fiscal 2017 at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.0%, and in fiscal 2018 at a reduced margin of LIBOR plus 4.0%. Amortized costs included in interest expense increased by $1.9m for the full year in fiscal 2018 . As a result of the partial repayment of the Term Loan Facility in 2017, $3.0m of unamortized costs were written off, offset by a gain of $5.9m to recognize the change in fair value of the loan balance from the 1.0% reduction in the effective interest rate for the remaining term of the loan. In fiscal 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of $3.8m on subordinated debt prior to its repayment in the Recapitalization.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $29.1m compared to $8.9m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 , the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate were 23.3% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 29.1% and 25.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The decrease in the effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 relates primarily to decrease in stock option expense and differences in tax rates between entities.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax reform legislation, referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which decreased the federal statutory income tax rate for the Company's U.S. subsidiary from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Net Income

Net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $96.1m compared to $21.6m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The increase in net income of $74.5m was driven by the factors described above.

Wholesale

Cost of sales in our wholesale channel was $21.4m for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $19.8m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Gross profit was $12.4m for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $10.2m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Wholesale gross margin increased to 36.7% of segment revenue from 34.0% in the period. The increase in gross profit of $2.2m in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 is attributable to higher sales. Gross margin has improved as a result of the impact of pricing offsetting an increase in manufacturing labour costs. To a lesser degree, wholesale gross margin was also impacted by production efficiencies in manufacturing overhead, partially offset by a shift in product mix.

DTC gross margin increased from 71.7% of segment revenue to 73.5% in the period. The increase in DTC channel gross profit of $22.0m includes the incremental gross profit generated from five new retail stores that were not open in fiscal 2018. The increase in gross margin reflects pricing, production efficiencies and favourable regional mix, offset by an increase in manufacturing labour costs and a seasonal shift in product mix, with a higher proportion of lightweight down jacket sales.

While some SG&A expenses vary with revenue, certain costs in our wholesale business are fixed and represent a higher proportion of wholesale revenue in our off-peak fourth quarter. The increase of $3.3m primarily resulted from an increase in headcount and other fixed costs to support sales and operations and SG&A expenses for Baffin, partially offset by favourable distribution efficiencies.

DTC

SG&A expenses in our DTC channel for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $26.0m compared to $18.7m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

The $7.3m increase in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to the expansion of our retail footprint. In addition, management fees are payable in fiscal 2019 to third party operating partners in connection with DTC operations in Greater China. While some SG&A expenses vary with revenue, certain costs in our DTC business are fixed and represent a higher proportion of DTC revenue in this shoulder quarter.

The improvement in operating income and margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to retail store productivity offset by increases in the fixed costs of retail store operations in SG&A expenses.

Net interest and finance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.1m compared with $2.8m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The $0.3m increase was primarily driven by higher average interest rates on the Term Loan Facility.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was a recovery of $0.4m compared to an expense of $3.9m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate were (5.1)% and 25.4% , respectively, compared to 32.7% and 25.4% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The

- 66 -

decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 relates primarily to the statutory tax rate differences in our foreign jurisdictions.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $9.0m compared to $8.1m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , driven primarily by factors described above.

Revenue in our wholesale segment is highest in our second and third quarters as we fulfill wholesale customer orders in time for the Fall and Winter retail seasons, and, in our DTC segment, in the third and fourth quarters. Our net income is typically reduced or negative in the first and fourth quarters due to lower revenue and higher fixed costs.

Revenue

Over the last eight quarters, revenue has been impacted by the following factors:


•	timing of retail store openings;


•	launch of e-commerce sites in Rest of World;


•	customer demand and increased manufacturing efficiency which had an impact on the timing of execution of wholesale deliveries;


•	availability of new product offering;


•	successful execution of global pricing strategy;


•	shift in mix of revenue from wholesale to DTC, with the result that total revenue and profitability are increasingly concentrated in the third quarter;

- 67 -


•	shift in geographic mix of sales to increase sales outside of Canada;


•	fluctuation of foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar; and


•	acquisition of Baffin on November 1, 2018.

Net Income (Loss)

Over the last eight quarters, net income (loss) has been affected by the following factors:


•	impact of the items affecting revenue, as discussed above;


•	increase and timing of our investment in brand, marketing, and administrative support as well as increased investment in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets to support growth initiatives;


•	increase in fixed SG&A costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, resulting in reduced or negative net income in our seasonally low-revenue first and fourth quarters;


•	impact of foreign exchange;


•	higher average cost of borrowings to address the growing net working capital requirements and higher seasonal borrowings in the first and second quarters of each fiscal year to address the seasonal nature of revenue;


•	pre-opening store costs incurred and timing of leases signed and retail store openings;


•	timing of achieving performance vesting conditions of stock options;


•	transaction costs in relation to the Secondary Offerings in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and the first and third quarters of fiscal 2019; and


•	proportion of taxable income in non-Canadian jurisdictions.

EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share and per diluted share

EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share and per diluted share are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. We use these non-IFRS financial measures and believe they enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period, because they exclude certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments we believe are not reflective of our ongoing operations and our performance. Accordingly, we use these metrics to measure our core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes and as a component in the determination of incentive compensation for salaried employees. In addition, we believe investors use both IFRS and non-IFRS measures (EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share and per diluted share) to assess management’s past, current and future decisions associated with our priorities and our allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how our business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the apparel industry. However, these measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in our industry. These financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity.

EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share and per diluted share have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS. For example, these financial measures:


•	exclude certain tax payments that may reduce cash available to us;


•	do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;


•	do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our net working capital needs; and


•	do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt.

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Constant currency revenue

Because we are a global company, the comparability of revenue reported in Canadian dollars is also affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations when the underlying currencies in which we transact change in value over time compared to the Canadian dollar. These currencies include the U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds sterling, Swiss francs, Chinese Yuan and Hong Kong dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on our reported results. Therefore, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, our revenue discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating the prior year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency calculated based on the current period exchange rates ⁽¹⁾ . This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS . We present constant currency financial information, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, as a supplement to our reported operating results. We use constant currency information to provide a framework to

- 69 -

assess how our business segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses. See the Revenue sections of the “Results of Operations” for a reconciliation of reported revenue and revenue on a constant currency basis.

Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

⁽¹⁾ In prior periods, we calculated change in revenue expressed in constant currency by applying the prior period exchange rates to current period revenue. Prior periods have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

Net debt and net debt leverage

Net debt and net debt leverage are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, these non-IFRS financial measures to determine a company’s financial leverage. We define net debt as total indebtedness, net of cash, and net debt leverage as the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, both measured on a trailing twelve month basis using financial information reported each quarter. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS . See “Indebtedness” below for a table providing the calculation of net debt and discussion of net debt leverage.

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Net working capital and net working capital turnover

Net working capital and net working capital turnover are financial measures not defined under IFRS. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess the Company’s liquidity and management of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as current assets, net of cash, less current liabilities. Net working capital turnover is the ratio of average net working capital to revenue, both measured on a trailing twelve month basis using financial information reported each quarter. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS . See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a table providing the calculation of net working capital.

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

(a)	In connection with the Secondary Offerings completed in November 2018, June 2018 and July 2017 and the IPO in March 2017, we incurred expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal, and accounting that would otherwise not have been incurred.


(b)	Represents transaction and other costs in connection with the Baffin acquisition and the impact of gross margin that would otherwise have been recognized on inventory recorded at net realizable value less costs to sell.


(c)	Represents non-cash unrealized gains and losses on the translation of the Term Loan Facility from USD to CAD, net of the effect of derivative transactions entered into to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.


(d)	Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense on stock options issued prior to the IPO under the Legacy Plan and cash payroll taxes paid by the Company of $0.3m and $2.0m in the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , respectively, on gains earned by option holders (compensation) when stock options are exercised.


(e)	Represents non-cash lease amortization charges during pre-opening periods for new store leases.

(f)

In connection with the Bain Capital’s purchase of a 70% equity interest in our business on December 9, 2013, we entered into a management agreement with certain affiliates of Bain Capital for a term of five years (“Management Agreement”). This amount represents payments made pursuant to the Management Agreement for ongoing consulting and other services. In connection with the IPO on March 21, 2017, the Management Agreement was terminated in

consideration for a termination fee of $9.6m and Bain Capital no longer receives management fees from the Company.

(g)

Represents non-cash unrealized gains on foreign exchange forward contracts recorded in fiscal 2016 that related to fiscal 2017. We manage our exposure to foreign currency risk by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts. Management forecasts its net cash flows in foreign currency using expected revenue from orders it receives for future periods. The unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in net income from the date of inception of the contract, while the cash flows to which the derivatives related are not realized until the contract settles. Management believes that reflecting these adjustments in the period in which the net cash flows occur is more appropriate.


(h)	Represents expenses incurred to establish our international headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, including closing several smaller offices across Europe, relocating personnel, and incurring temporary office costs.


(i)	In connection with Bain Capital’s purchase of a 70% equity interest in our business on December 9, 2013, we recognized an intangible asset for customer lists in the amount of $8.7m, which had a useful life of four years and was fully amortized in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

(j)

We partially repaid the Term Loan Facility using a portion of the proceeds of the IPO, which resulted in a change to our prospective underlying interest rate and caused a remeasurement of the carrying value of the debt by calculating the net present value using the revised estimated cash flows for both the repayment and change in interest rate and original effective interest rate. The result was a non-cash gain of $5.9m recorded in net interest and other finance costs.

As at March 31, 2019 , we had $88.6m of cash and $188.0m of net working capital, compared to $95.3m of cash and $72.1m of net working capital as at March 31, 2018 . The $115.9m increase arose primarily from an increased volume of business, in particular growth in our DTC channel, including a $101.9m increase in inventory from higher production to match our forecasted demand and a $8.5m increase in trade receivables. Net working capital is significantly impacted by the seasonal trends of our business and has been further impacted in recent quarters by the opening of our retail stores. Net working capital includes balances for Baffin as at March 31, 2019 . Net working capital turnover was 20.6% on a trailing twelve month basis as at March 31, 2019 , using financial information reported each quarter.

Cash requirements

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund net working capital, capital expenditure, debt service, and general corporate requirements of our business. Our primary source of liquidity to meet our cash requirements is cash generated from operating activities over our annual operating cycle. We also maintain the Revolving Facility to provide short-term liquidity and to have funds available for net working capital. Our ability to fund our operations, invest in planned capital expenditures, meet debt obligations, and repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject, but not limited to, prevailing economic, financial, and business conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Cash generated from operating activities is significantly impacted by the seasonality of our business. Cash flows from operating activities are typically highest in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year due to reduced net working capital requirements during these periods and the collection of receivables from revenue earlier in the year. The Company has also benefited from a more rapid cash conversion cycle in its DTC segment as that channel continues to grow.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $73.4m compared to $126.2m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The decrease of $52.8m in cash from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in working capital ( $98.4m ), an increase in income taxes paid ( $33.6m ) and in interest paid ( $0.9m ), offset by an inflow of cash from the results of operations of ( $80.1m ).

Cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $126.2m compared to $39.4m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The increase of $86.8m in cash

- 74 -

from operating activities was primarily due to an inflow of funds from the results of operations ( $93.5m ), a decrease in income taxes paid ( $12.9m ) and a decrease in interest paid ( $2.7m ), offset by an increase in working capital ( $22.2m ).

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1.0m compared to cash generated of $38.0m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The net change of $39.0m in cash from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in working capital ( $35.9m ), an increase in income taxes paid ( $2.6m ) and in interest paid ( $0.2m ), offset by an inflow of cash from the results of operations of ( $0.3m ).

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were $82.9m compared to $34.4m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in cash used in investing activities of $48.5m related primarily to the acquisition of Baffin ( $33.6m ), outflows for retail store construction, investments in information technology and product development, and capital additions for manufacturing capacity.

Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $34.4m compared to $27.0m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The increase in cash used for investing activities of $7.4m was primarily due to the expansion of our manufacturing facilities and the opening of four retail stores, the build out of shop-in-shop initiatives with our wholesale partners, and investment in information technology to support our business operations in fiscal 2018. The cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was all funded through cash generated from operations during the year.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $14.5m compared to $7.3m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in cash used in investing activities of $7.2m related primarily to our continued investments to support growth including retail store construction, investments in information technology and product development, and capital additions for manufacturing capacity.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash generated from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was $3.1m compared to cash used of $7.9m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 . The net change of $11.0m relates primarily to the repayment for all amounts owing on the Revolving Facility.

Cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $7.9m compared to $9.9m for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The outflow of cash in fiscal 2018 relates primarily to the repayment of the balance of the Revolving Facility of $8.9m . In fiscal 2017 , the Company effected recapitalization and refinancing transactions which resulted in the repayment of subordinated debt of $85.3m and the distribution of capital of $121.5m to the principal shareholders, funded by an increase in the Term Loan Facility of $147.6m and net proceeds of the public share offering of $98.1m . The Revolving Facility refinanced the previous credit facility, with a decrease in the outstanding balance of $49.0m over the year.

Cash generated from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.6m compared to $0.8m for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The decrease in cash generated in financing activities of $0.2m was primarily attributable to higher net borrowings repaid on the Revolving Facility in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

As at March 31, 2019 , net debt was $63.8m compared to $51.3m as at March 31, 2018 . The increase of $12.5m was primarily due to a decrease of $6.7m in the cash balance as at March 31, 2019 and an increase of $5.8m in the value of the principal amount owing under the Term Loan Facility due to a stronger U.S. dollar.

Average net debt represents net debt leverage of 0.6 times adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2019 .

Canada Goose and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Canada Goose Inc. and Canada Goose International AG, have a Revolving Facility with a syndicate of lenders. The Revolving Facility has commitments of $200.0m, with a seasonal increase up to $250.0m during the peak season from June 1 through November 30. In addition, the Revolving Facility includes a letter of credit commitment in the amount of $25.0m. All obligations under the Revolving Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, our U.S., Swiss, U.K. and Canadian subsidiaries. The Revolving Facility matures on June 3, 2021 and provides for customary events of default.

Loans under the Revolving Facility, at our option may be maintained from time to time as (a) Prime Rate Loans, which bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans plus the Prime Rate, (b) Banker’s Acceptances funded on a discounted proceeds basis given the published discount rate plus a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for stamping fees, (c) ABR Loans, which bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans plus the ABR, (d) European Base Rate Loans, which bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for European Base Rate Loans plus the European Base Rate, (e) LIBOR Loans, which bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans plus the LIBOR Rate or (f) EURIBOR Loans, which bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for EURIBOR Loans plus the applicable EURIBOR.

A commitment fee is charged on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility of 0.25% per annum if average utilization under the Revolving Facility is greater than 50% or 0.375% if average utilization under the Revolving Facility is less than 50%. A letter of credit fee, with respect to standby letters of credit, will accrue on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans, and, with respect to trade or commercial letters of credit, 50% of the then Applicable Margin on LIBOR Loans. A fronting fee will be charged on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit equal to 0.125% per annum. In addition, we pay the administrative agent under the Revolving Facility a monitoring fee of one thousand dollars per month.

The Revolving Facility contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds. As at and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company had repaid all amounts owing under the Revolving Facility and related deferred financing charges in the amounts of $1.2m and $1.7m respectively, were included in other long-term liabilities.

The Company has unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $165.5m as at March 31, 2019 ( 2018 - $97.8m ). Amounts under the Revolving Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed to fund our general corporate purposes and are available in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, and euros and, subject to an aggregate cap of $40.0m, such other currencies as are approved in accordance with the credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility.

Term Loan Facility

The Company and Canada Goose Inc. have a Term Loan Facility in the amount of US $113.8m with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders, which matures on December 2, 2021. All obligations under the Term Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, our U.S., U.K. and Canadian subsidiaries. The Term Loan Facility provides for customary events of default.

The interest rate on the loan outstanding under the Term Loan Facility is the LIBOR Rate (subject to a minimum rate of 1.00% per annum) plus an Applicable Margin of 4.00%. The loan can also be maintained as an ABR loan which bears interest at ABR plus an Applicable Margin which is 1.00% less than that for LIBOR loans.

The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains non-financial covenants. As at and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As the Term Loan Facility is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company remeasures the outstanding balance in Canadian dollars at each balance sheet date. As at March 31, 2019 , we had $152.4m aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility compared to $146.6m as at March 31, 2018 . Amounts prepaid or repaid under the Term Loan Facility may not be re-borrowed.

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital, which consists of equity (subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares) and long-term debt (the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility), with the objectives of safeguarding sufficient net working capital over the annual operating cycle and providing sufficient financial resources to grow operations to meet long-term consumer demand. Management targets a ratio of trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA to net debt, reflecting the seasonal borrowing requirements while working capital builds through the second fiscal quarter. The board of directors of the Company monitors the Company’s capital management on a regular basis. We will continually assess the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and capacity and make adjustments within the context of its strategy, economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the business.

As at March 31, 2019 , we had additional long-term liabilities which included provisions for warranty, agent termination fees, sales returns, and asset retirement obligations, and deferred income tax liabilities. These long-term liabilities have not been included in the table above as the timing and amount of future payments are uncertain.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

OUTSTANDING SHARE CAPITAL

Canada Goose is a publicly traded company and the subordinate voting shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: GOOS) and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: GOOS). As of May 24, 2019 , there were 59,151,443 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding, and 51,004,076 multiple voting shares issued and outstanding.

As at May 24, 2019 , there were 2,392,106 options outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, 988,644 of which were vested as of such date and 10,650 restricted share units. Each such option is or will become exercisable for one subordinate voting share. We expect that restricted share units will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per restricted share unit.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally associated with foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

- 78 -

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows

Our Annual Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a portion of the Company’s net assets are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, euros, British Pounds sterling, and Swiss francs Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars and Swedish krona through its foreign operations in the U.S., U.K., France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China and Sweden. Furthermore, as our business in Greater China grows, transactions in Chinese yuan and Hong Kong dollars will increase. Net monetary assets denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars that are held in entities with Canadian dollar functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars at a foreign currency exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will positively impact operating income and net income by increasing our revenue, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in the prices of U.S. dollar denominated purchases as a result of changes in U.S. dollar exchange rates. A depreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will negatively impact operating income and net income by increasing our costs of raw materials, while an appreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will have the opposite impact.

Since fiscal 2016, we entered into derivative instruments in the form of forward contracts to manage the majority of our current and anticipated exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, euro, British Pound sterling, and Swiss franc, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars and Swedish krona exchange rates for revenues and purchases. Beginning in fiscal 2017, certain foreign exchange forward contracts have been designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges.

A summary of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and the corresponding amounts as at March 31, 2019 is as follows:



(millions)	Contract Amount		Primary Currencies
Forward contract to purchase Canadian dollars	US$	155.0	U.S. dollars
Forward contract to purchase Canadian dollars	€	72.9	Euros

Forward contract to sell Canadian dollars	US$	65.9	U.S. dollars
Forward contract to sell Canadian dollars	€	32.7	Euros

Foreign exchange risk of principal and interest payments on the Term Loan Facility

Amounts available for borrowing under the Term Loan Facility and part of our Revolving Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars. Based on our outstanding balance of $152.4m (US $113.8m ) under the Term Loan Facility as at March 31, 2019 , a $0.01 depreciation in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease in our pre-tax income of $1.1m ( 2018 - $1.1m ) solely as a result of that exchange rate fluctuation’s effect on the debt.

On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into derivative transactions to hedge a portion of its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk on principal and interest payments related to the Term Loan Facility.

The Company entered into a long-dated forward exchange contract to buy $75.0m, or US$59.4m in equivalent U.S. dollars as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on the related principal amount of the Term Loan Facility over the term to maturity (December 2, 2021). Unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of the forward contract are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

The Company also entered into a cross-currency swap by selling $50.0m, or US$40.0m in equivalent U.S. dollars floating rate debt bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.00% as measured on the trade date, and receiving $50.0m fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 5.80%. This cross-currency swap has been designated at inception and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge, and to the extent that the hedge is effective, unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income until reclassified to the statement of income as the related hedged transactions impact net income.

Concurrently, the Company entered into a second cross-currency swap by selling the $50.0m fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 5.80% and receiving $50.0m, or €34.0m in equivalent Euro-denominated fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 3.84%. This cross-currency swap has been designated and is accounted for as a hedge of the net investment in the Company’s European subsidiary. Hedges of net investments are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges, with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the period when the foreign operation is disposed of or sold.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily related to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility. As at March 31, 2019 , the Company has repaid all amounts owing on the Revolving Facility. The amount owing under our Term Loan Facility was $152.4m as at March 31, 2019 , which currently bears interest at 6.50% . Based on the weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings would have increased interest expense by $0.6m in the year. Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate on our Term Loan Facility would have increased interest expense by an additional $1.5m , to the extent that the risk is not hedged. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with certain affiliates of Bain Capital for a term of five years, which was terminated upon the closing of the IPO on March 21, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. During the year ended March 31, 2017 , the Company incurred management fees of $10.3m , including $9.6m paid on termination.

- 80 -

In the year ended March 31, 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of $3.8m on the subordinated debt owing to Bain Capital. The subordinated debt and accrued interest were repaid in full on December 2, 2016 in connection with the Recapitalization.

The Company enters into transactions from time to time with its principal shareholders and organizations affiliated with members of its Board of Directors by incurring expenses for business services. During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company incurred expenses with related parties of $1.0m , measured at the exchange amount ( 2018 - $1.4m ) to companies related to certain shareholders. Net balances owing to related parties as at March 31, 2019 were $0.1m ( 2018 - $0.1m ).

The Company has incurred expenses for lease of premises and other operating costs payable to entities affiliated with the Baffin Vendor totaling $0.6m for the year ended March 31, 2019 . Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company agreed to acquire the inventories in transit at the time of the acquisition when received. Purchases of inventories for the year ended March 31, 2019 amounted to $3.0m . Related amounts owing to Baffin entities as at March 31, 2019 were $ nil . In connection with the acquisition of Baffin, $3.0m is payable to the Baffin Vendor on November 1, 2020 and will be charged to expense over two years.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our Annual Financial Statements, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are critical to our business operations and understanding our financial results.

The Company has adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments effective April 1, 2018, which did not have a material effect on the financial statements. See “Changes in Accounting Policies” below for a description of the impact from adopting these new standards.

- 81 -

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that we believe could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the Annual Financial Statements.

Revenue recognition. Revenue comprises of the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is presented net of sales tax, estimated returns, sales allowances, and discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company has agreed terms with its customers, the contractual rights and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, it is probable that consideration will be collected by the Company, and when specific criteria for transfer of control to the customer have been met for each of the Company’s activities, as described below.


i)	Wholesale revenue comprises sales of the Company’s products to third party resellers (which includes international distributors and retailers). Wholesale revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the goods has been transferred to the reseller, which depends on the precise terms of the agreement with each reseller, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.

The Company, at its discretion, may cancel all or a portion of any firm wholesale sales order. The Company is therefore obligated to return any prepayments or deposits made by resellers for which the product is not provided. All advance payments are therefore included in accrued liabilities in the statement of financial position.

ii)

DTC revenue consists of sales through the Company’s e-commerce operations and Company-owned retail stores. Sales through e-commerce operations are recognized upon estimated delivery of the goods to the customer, net of an estimated provision for sales returns, when control of the goods has transferred from the Company to the customer. Sales through our retail stores are recognized delivery to the customer at the point of sale, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.

It is the Company’s policy to sell merchandise through the Direct-to-Consumer channel with a limited right to return, typically within 30 days. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns.

The Company’s warranty obligation is to provide an exchange or repair for manufacturing defective products under the standard warranty terms and conditions. The warranty obligation is recognized as a provision when goods are sold.

Inventories. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value which requires us to use estimates related to fluctuations in obsolescence, shrinkage, future retail prices, seasonality, and costs necessary to sell the inventory.

We periodically review our inventories and make provisions as necessary to appropriately value obsolete or damaged raw materials and finished goods. In addition, as part of inventory valuations, we accrue for inventory shrinkage for lost or stolen items based on historical trends from actual physical inventory counts.

Impairment of non-financial assets (goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment). We are required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their cash generating units (“CGU”) for the purposes of testing fixed assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment. Judgment is also applied in allocating the carrying amount of assets to CGUs. For the purpose of goodwill and intangible assets’ impairment testing, CGUs are grouped at the lowest level at which goodwill and intangible assets are monitored for internal management purposes. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred

- 82 -

requiring an impairment test to be completed. The Company has concluded that it has seven CGUs and tests goodwill and these intangible assets for impairment on that basis.

In determining the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs, various estimates are employed. We determine value-in-use by using estimates including projected future revenues, earnings, working capital and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the board of directors of the Company. Discount rates are consistent with external industry information reflecting the risk associated with the specific cash flows.

Income and other taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, except when it relates to a business combination, or items recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. Application of judgments is required regarding the classification of transactions and in assessing probable outcomes of claimed deductions including expectations about future operating results, the timing and reversal of temporary differences and possible audits of income tax and other tax filings by the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Functional currency. Items included in the Annual Financial Statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The Annual Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is our functional and presentation currency.

Financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

We enter into financial instruments with highly-rated creditworthy institutions and instruments with liquid markets and readily-available pricing information.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss) are added to, or deducted from, the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below.


i)	Non-derivative financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets include cash and trade receivables which are measured at amortized cost. The Company initially recognizes receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.


ii)	Non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities, Revolving Facility, and Term Loan Facility. The Company initially recognizes debt instruments issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

- 83 -


iii)	Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument. When a derivative financial instrument, including an embedded derivative, is not designated and effective in a qualifying hedge relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognized immediately in the statement of income; attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of income as incurred. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Embedded derivatives are separated from a host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related.


iv)	Hedge accounting

The Company is exposed to the risk of currency fluctuations and has entered into currency derivative contracts to hedge its exposure on the basis of planned transactions. Where hedge accounting is applied, the criteria are documented at the inception of the hedge and updated at each reporting date. The Company documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

The fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a current asset or liability when the maturity of the hedged item is less than twelve months, and as a non-current asset or liability when the maturity of the hedged item is more than twelve months.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are transferred to the statement of income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income. When a forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, such as inventory, the amounts included in the measurement of the cost of the related asset or liability. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in the statement of income.

Hedges of net investments are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges, with unrealized gains and losses recognized, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are transferred to the statement of income in the period when the foreign operation is disposed of or sold.

Share-based payments. Share-based payments are valued based on the grant date fair value of these awards and the Company records compensation expense over the corresponding service period. The fair value of the share-based payments is determined using acceptable valuation techniques.

- 84 -

based and exit event options vest upon attainment of performance conditions and the occurrence of an exit event. Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, options are granted to certain executives of the Company with vesting, generally over four years, contingent upon meeting the service conditions of the Omnibus Plan. The compensation expense related to the options and RSUs is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, provided it is probable that the vesting conditions will be achieved and the occurrence of the exist event, if applicable, is probable.

Warranty. The critical assumptions and estimates used in determining the warranty provision at the balance sheet date are: number of jackets expected to require repair or replacement; proportion to be repaired versus replaced; period in which the warranty claim is expected to occur; cost of repair; cost of jacket replacement; and risk-free rate used to discount the provision to present value. We review our inputs to this estimate on a quarterly basis to ensure the provision reflects the most current information regarding our products.

Sales returns. Sales returns relate primarily to goods sold through the DTC sales channel which have a limited right of return, typically within 30 days. The Company bases its estimate on historical return rates in its e-commerce and retail stores and reviews its actual returns experience periodically to assess the appropriateness of the return rates used.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Standards issued and adopted

Certain new standards became effective at the beginning of the current fiscal year. The impact from the adoption of these new standards is described below.

Revenue

Effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) which replaces the guidance on revenue recognition requirements that previously existed under IFRS. The new standard provides a comprehensive framework for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers, excluding contracts within the scope of the accounting standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 also contains enhanced disclosure requirements.

The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no adjustment to opening retained earnings. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under previous accounting standards. After completing the analysis of its customer contracts, the Company has determined that the implementation of IFRS 15 did not result in any adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings or to the presentation of the Annual Financial Statements.

As a result of adopting IFRS 15, the Company updated its accounting policies for the recognition of revenue. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.

Financial instruments

Effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting and new impairment requirements that are based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model. IFRS 9 also amends other standards dealing with financial instruments such as IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures .

The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018, resulting in no significant adjustment to retained earnings and no material effect on the Annual Financial Statements.

- 85 -

The Company assessed which business models apply to the financial assets and liabilities held and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories. These reclassifications did not have an impact on the measurement of financial assets and liabilities. Adoption of the new classification requirements under IFRS 9 did not result in significant changes in the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The following table summarizes the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9 for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities.



Asset/Liability	Original classification under IAS 39	New classification under IFRS 9
Cash	Loans and other receivables	Amortized cost
Trade receivables	Loans and other receivables	Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Revolving Facility	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Term Loan Facility	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Derivative, not in a hedging relationship	Fair value through profit or loss	Fair value through profit or loss

Reclassification of financial assets is required if the objective of the business model in which they are held changes after initial recognition and if the change is significant to the entity’s operations. No reclassification of financial liabilities is permitted.

Upon transition the Company’s derivatives designated as hedges continue to meet the hedging criteria, therefore the fair values flow through other comprehensive income under both IAS 39 and IFRS 9.

Application of the expected credit loss model for trade accounts receivable did not result in any significant changes in the Company’s impairment allowance, with expected credit losses to be measured over the life of the asset, typically the annual wholesale sales cycle.

We have updated our accounting policies as a result of adopting IFRS 9. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.

Share-based payment

Effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, clarifying the accounting for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018, with no material effect on the Annual financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that pronouncements will be adopted by the Company for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments, and interpretations are provided below.

Leases

- 86 -

to be recorded. The new standard seeks to provide a more complete picture of a company’s leased assets and related liabilities and create greater comparability between companies who lease assets and those who purchase assets. IFRS 16 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and is to be applied retrospectively. The standard permits the application of various transition options and practical expedients on initial adoption, and the more significant choices are described below.

The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initial application recorded in opening retained earnings and no restatement of prior period financial information. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company measured the right-of-use asset at the depreciated net book value as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but using the discount rate at the date of initial application. The Company used hindsight in determining the lease term at the date of initial application.

The Company determined the discount rate at the time of initial adoption to be its incremental borrowing rate for each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets with similar characteristics by reference to the Company’s creditworthiness, the original term of the lease, the quality of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment where the leased asset is located.

IFRS 16 is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment, and based on current estimates, it expects to recognize right-of-use assets in the range of $130m to $150m and related lease obligations in the range of $140m to $160m, before taking into account the related deferred tax impact. Deferred rent liabilities under the existing standard will be adjusted to opening retained earnings.

In April, 2019, the Company recorded additional right-of-use assets and lease obligations with an impact of between $55m and $65m for leases with a commencement date following the transition.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.

Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019 as a result of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.

There were no material adjustments to our Annual Financial Statements as a result of incremental procedures performed by management. Accordingly, management has concluded that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the periods presented, in accordance with IFRS.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and has designed such internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted as evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 , using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) (“COSO 2013”) . Based on evaluation performed, management concluded that the material weaknesses described below existed as of March 31, 2019 . Excluded from our assessment were controls over financial reporting at Baffin Limited, which acquired assets of Baffin Inc. on November 1, 2018 in a business combination. The acquired Baffin business represented less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and less than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net assets as of March 31, 2019.

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls.

As of March 31, 2018, management had identified certain material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During fiscal 2019, management made the following changes to internal control over financial reporting to remediate the identified material weaknesses in the Risk Assessment and Monitoring components of internal control:


•	Engaged an external advisor with subject matter expertise and significant resources to assist management with all elements of the internal control program, including risk assessment, process flows, and design of internal controls;


•	Built a larger team with a combination of external advisors and internal personnel, including a Director of Internal Audit, to plan and execute testing, including quality assurance, earlier than in fiscal 2018 such that deficiencies were identified and communicated to control owners;


•	The program status was regularly monitored by senior Finance personnel, including the CFO, to ensure accountability was present throughout the program;


•	Performed a detailed risk assessment to identify key account and business processes and related controls, which was informed by process flow mapping with key control owners;


•	Enhanced its Internal Control Steering Committee to drive accountability throughout the organization. The Steering Committee provided oversight to the program and control owners by monitoring remediation plans and testing progress;


•	Increased the financial oversight of its new subsidiaries in Asia through recurring month end operating performance meetings with local senior management; and


•	Designed controls in new business processes, such as the Company’s business in Asia, changes to IT systems, and financial reporting controls over business combinations and new accounting standards.

As noted above, we have invested significantly in our IT environment and added critical resources across the organization and specifically in the finance team to establish a sustainable internal control environment. Despite this progress, management determined it did not remediate material

- 88 -

weaknesses identified as of March 31, 2018 in two components of internal control as defined by COSO 2013 (Control Activities and Information and Communication). In relation to Control Activities, management did not design and maintain effective controls over the following, each of which is a material weakness: (a) the occurrence and accuracy of revenue and the existence of the related accounts receivable, and access controls to customer master data; and (b) the existence and valuation of inventory, including inventory costing and access controls to inventory master data. The material weakness in Information and Communication is the result of the evaluation of the accuracy and completeness of information used in the execution of internal controls primarily related to spreadsheets created from data extracted from our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. Due to these control deficiencies, a reasonable possibility exists that material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis in the future.

As a result of the identified material weaknesses, management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2019 . Deloitte LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included in this annual report, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 . Their attestation report is included in this annual report.

Remediation Plan and Activities

Management has taken the following steps to address the material weaknesses described above:


•	Upgraded its enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system on April 1, 2019, designed with consideration for enhanced system functionality, user roles reflecting segregation of duties, use of reporting tools, and master data management;


•	Hired a Vice President of Internal Audit & Loss Prevention in late Q4 fiscal 2019 to lead the governance and testing of internal controls over financial reporting;


•	Hired internal audit personnel to support the VP Internal Audit & Loss Prevention; and


•	Added control remediation goals to management’s formal performance objectives to increase control accountability and ownership.

Management anticipates taking the following additional steps during fiscal 2020 :


•	Update its process flows for the change in the business processes and controls as a result of the new ERP system;


•	Design and operate controls in the new ERP system related to user provisioning, access, master data management, and reporting;


•	Hiring additional employees with financial reporting, internal audit, and internal control remediation expertise and capacity throughout the global organization;


•	Training control owners on the control execution and evidencing, particularly in relation to information used in controls; and


•	Increase the frequency of testing of internal controls over financial reporting .

Senior management has discussed the material weaknesses described above with the Audit Committee, which will continue to review progress on these remediation activities.

As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable relevant controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these

- 89 -

controls are operating effectively. No assurance can be provided at this time that the actions and remediation efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses described above or prevent the incidence of other material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the future. We do not know the specific time frame needed to fully remediate the material weaknesses identified above. See “Risk Factors.” Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all misstatements, even as the remediation measures are implemented and further improved to address the material weaknesses. The design of any system of internal controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than those described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-5(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter and year ended March 31, 2019 , that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Base Salary

Base salaries provide our named executive officers with a fixed amount of compensation each year. Base salary levels reflect the executive’s title, experience, level of responsibility, and performance. Messrs. Reiss, Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock received base salary increases in fiscal 2019, effective as of April 1, 2018. Mr. Reiss’s base salary increased to $1,200,000, Mr. Black’s base salary increased to $305,000, Mr. Turlington’s base salary increased to US$361,640, Mr. Moran’s base salary increased to $350,000 and Mr. Sherlock’s base salary increased to $260,100. Upon his promotion to President of Canada Goose International AG on August 7, 2018, Mr. Sherlock’s base salary increased to CHF 312,421.

Bonus

Each named executive officer is eligible to receive an annual bonus pursuant to his or her employment agreement and in accordance with the bonus plan of the company. Fiscal 2019 bonuses earned by Messrs. Reiss, Sinclair, Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock are reflected in the compensation table above.

For fiscal 2019, Mr. Reiss was eligible to earn a target annual bonus equal to 100% of his base salary, based on the achievement of pre-established fiscal 2019 EBIT targets. Target EBIT was approved by our board of directors at the beginning of fiscal 2019 in connection with the annual budgeting process, with payout of Mr. Reiss’s bonus being earned at 100% upon achievement of EBIT of 100% of target. No portion of Mr. Reiss’s bonus was eligible to be earned if EBIT was determined to have been achieved at 85% or less below target. Achievement of EBIT between 85% of target and less than 100% of target would have resulted in Mr. Reiss’s bonus being earned on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100%. Achievement of EBIT above 100% of target would have resulted in the EBIT component of Mr. Reiss’s bonus being earned at 100% of target plus 4.4% of target for each 1% over target EBIT. Our board of directors determined that Mr. Reiss earned a fiscal 2019 bonus of 159.22% of target based on a deemed achievement of 2019 EBIT.

Messrs. Sinclair, Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock were eligible to earn annual bonuses for fiscal 2019 under a broad-based annual bonus plan for salaried employees targeted at 45% (Mr. Sinclair) and 40% (Messrs. Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock), respectively, of base salary. Bonuses were eligible to be earned under the plan based on the achievement of pre-established EBIT targets and a participant’s individual performance review for fiscal 2019. Target EBIT for purposes of our fiscal 2019 annual bonus plan was determined the same as for Mr. Reiss. No bonuses were eligible to be paid under the plan for achievement of EBIT at less than 80% of target or an individual performance rating of “needs immediate improvement”. Upon achievement of EBIT of at least 80% of target, a participant could receive an annual bonus depending on an individual performance rating of “exceptional,” “leading,” “tracking,” or “inconsistent,” with ranges of bonuses as a percentage of target eligible to be earned at each performance rating. Achievement of EBIT between 80% of target and less than 100% of target would have resulted in a participant’s bonus being earned on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100%. At a “leading” rating, achievement of EBIT above 100% of target would have resulted in the EBIT component of a participant’s bonus being earned at 100% of target plus 2% of target for each 1% over target EBIT. At an “exceptional” rating, achievement of EBIT above 100% of target would have resulted in the EBIT component of a participant’s bonus being earned at 100% of target plus 2% of target for each 1% over target

- 100 -

EBIT multiplied by a factor of 1.2. Messrs. Sinclair, Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock were determined to earn fiscal 2019 bonuses each equal to 152.3% (prorated), 100.0% (prorated), 126.9%, 152.3% and 126.9% of target, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

Messrs. Reiss, Sinclair and Moran were our only named executive officers granted equity awards in fiscal 2019. On June 26, 2018, each of Messrs. Reiss, Sinclair and Moran was granted 72,297, 35,396 and 8,435 Options, respectively. One-quarter of Messrs. Reiss, Sinclair and Moran’s awards will vest on June 26, 2019 and one-quarter of each award will vest on each of June 26, 2020, June 26, 2021 and June 26, 2022, subject to the executive’s continued employment with us.

On July 5, 2018, Mr. Sinclair was granted 10,650 restricted share units in respect of our subordinate voting shares. Mr. Sinclair’s award was originally scheduled to vest in three equal tranches on July 5, 2019, July 5, 2020 and July 5, 2021. The Board subsequently authorized a modification of the vesting terms pertaining to the tranche scheduled to vest on July 5, 2019 (the “2019 Tranche”), subject to any applicable regulatory or stock exchange approval, so that the 2019 Tranche will vest on the first business day following the expiration of the blackout period relating to the release of financial results for fiscal 2019. Such modification generally results in a slight acceleration of vesting for the 2019 Tranche, and was authorized to better align vesting and settlement with corporate actions and decisions made at fiscal year end in connection with the release of financial results for fiscal 2019.

Retirement Plans

In fiscal 2019, Messrs. Black, Moran and Sherlock participated in the Group Retirement Savings Plan for the Employees of Canada Goose Inc. (referred to as the RSP), a broad-based registered defined contribution plan offered to all of our full-time Canada-based employees. Salaried employees in Toronto (including Messrs. Reiss, Sinclair, Black, Turlington, Moran and Sherlock) may defer a portion of their annual earnings into the RSP and may make additional voluntary contributions. We will match any such employee contributions, other than those of Mr. Reiss, by making a contribution to the Deferred Profit Sharing Plan for the Employees of Canada Goose Inc. (referred to as the DPSP), a broad-based defined contribution plan offered to all of our full-time salaried employees. The match is equal to 100% of a participant’s contributions to the RSP up to 3% of the participant’s annual base salary. In fiscal 2019, we made contributions to the DPSP on behalf of Messrs. Black, Moran and Sherlock, but did not otherwise set aside or accrue any amounts for pension, retirement or similar benefits for our named executive officers. We do not sponsor or maintain any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans or supplemental executive retirement plans.

C. Board Practices

Composition of our Board of Directors

Under our articles, our board of directors consists of a number of directors as determined from time to time by the directors. Our board of directors is comprised of eight directors. Our articles provide that a director may be removed with or without cause by a resolution passed by a special majority comprised of 66 ² ⁄ ₃ % of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting and who are entitled to vote. The directors are elected by the shareholders at each annual general meeting of shareholders, and all directors hold office for a term expiring at the close of the next annual shareholders meeting or until their respective successors are elected or appointed. Under the BCBCA and our articles, between annual general meetings of our shareholders, the directors may appoint one or more additional directors, but the number of additional directors may not at any time exceed one-third of the number of current directors who were elected or appointed other than as additional directors.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

Our board of directors has not adopted director term limits, a retirement policy for its directors or other automatic mechanisms of board renewal. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of board renewal, the nominating and governance committee of our board of directors develop appropriate qualifications and criteria for our board of directors as a whole and for individual directors. In accordance with its mandate, the nominating and governance committee oversees a process for the assessment of our board of directors, each committee and individual director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and contribution, and also reports evaluation results to our board of directors at least annually. It is further the responsibility of the nominating and governance committee to develop a succession plan for the board of directors, including maintaining a list of qualified candidates for director positions. The company is not in the practice of providing any severance benefits to directors upon termination of service.

- 106 -

Board Committees

Each of our board committees operates under its own written charter adopted by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is composed of Mr. Davison, Mr. Gunn and Mr. Huët, with Mr. Davison serving as chairperson of the committee. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Gunn, Mr. Davison and Mr. Huët meet the independence requirements under the rules of the NYSE, the BCBCA and under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Davison is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC’s regulations and applicable Listing Rules of the NYSE.

Our audit committee reviews and approves the scope of the annual audits of our financial statements, reviews our internal control over financial reporting, recommends to the board of directors the appointment of our independent auditors, reviews and approves any non-audit services performed by the independent auditors, reviews the findings and recommendations of the internal and independent auditors and periodically reviews major accounting policies.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee is composed of Mr. Bekenstein, Mr. Cotton and Ms. Chiquet, with Mr. Bekenstein serving as chairperson of the committee.

The nominating and governance committee’s primary responsibilities are to develop and recommend to the board of directors criteria for board and committee membership and recommend to the board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the committees of the board of directors. The nominating and governance committee also reviews and makes recommendations in respect of the company’s corporate governance principles and practices and associated disclosure.

D. Employees

As of March 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , we had 3,932 , 2,656 , and 1,716 employees, including both full-time and part-time employees. The number of employees by function as of the end of the period for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 was as follows:



	2019	2018	2017
By Function:
Canadian manufacturing	3,104	2,043	1,340
Selling and retail	360	267	107
Corporate head office	468	346	269
Total	3,932	2,656	1,716

- 107 -

The increase in the number of manufacturing employees in fiscal 2019 was primarily as a result of hiring employees in our new Greater Montreal and Winnipeg production facilities which opened in July 2018 and March 2019, respectively, as well as incremental growth at certain of our other production facilities during the year. The increase in selling and retail employees in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to the opening of our new retail stores in Montreal, Vancouver, Short Hills (New Jersey), Hong Kong and Beijing. We also had a greater number of employees at our corporate head office in fiscal 2019 to support the continued growth of the business.

E. Share Ownership

See Item 6.B. - “Compensation” and Item 7 - “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

A. Major Shareholders.

Security Ownership

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our shares as of May 24, 2019 , by:


•	each person or group who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our subordinate voting shares;


•	each of our directors; and


•	each of our named executive officers.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares held by that person.

The percentage of voting shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 59,151,443 subordinate voting shares and 51,004,076 multiple voting shares outstanding as of May 24, 2019 .

B. Related Party Transactions

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with our IPO, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Bain Capital and DTR LLC, an entity indirectly controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Investor Rights Agreement”).

The following is a summary of certain registration rights and nomination rights of our principal shareholders (including their permitted affiliates and transferees) under the Investor Rights Agreement, which summary is not intended to be complete. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement.

- 112 -

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Bain Capital is entitled to certain demand registration rights which enable it to require us to file a registration statement and/or a Canadian prospectus and otherwise assist with public offerings of subordinate voting shares (including subordinate voting shares issuable upon conversion of multiple voting shares) under the Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement. DTR LLC is entitled to similar demand registration rights at such time as Bain Capital no longer holds securities subject to registration rights, as well as certain incidental registration rights in connection with demand registrations initiated by Bain Capital, and Bain Capital and DTR LLC is entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights in the event that we propose to register securities as part of a public offering.

We are entitled to postpone or suspend a registration request for a period of up to 60 days during any 12-month period where such registration request would require us to make any adverse disclosure. In addition, in connection with an underwritten offering, the number of securities to be registered thereunder may be limited, for marketing reasons, based on the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters for such offering.

All costs and expenses associated with any demand registration or “piggy-back” registration will be borne by us other than underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of the subordinate voting shares (including following the conversion of multiple voting shares) by the applicable selling shareholder. We will also be required to provide indemnification and contribution for the benefit of Bain Capital and DTR LLC and their respective affiliates and representatives in connection with any demand registration or “piggy-back” registration.

Nomination Rights

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Bain Capital is entitled to designate 50% of our directors (rounding up to the next whole number) and will continue to be entitled to designate such percentage of our directors for so long as it holds at least 40% of the number of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding, provided that this percentage will be reduced (i) to the greater of one director or 30% of our directors (rounding up to the next whole number) once Bain Capital holds less than 40% of the subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding, (ii) to the greater of one director or 10% of our directors (rounding up to the next whole number) once Bain Capital holds less than 20% of the subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding, and (iii) to none once Bain Capital holds less than 5% of the subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding. DTR LLC is entitled to designate one director for as long as it holds 5% or more of the subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding.

The nomination rights contained in the Investor Rights Agreement provide that Bain Capital and DTR LLC, at the relevant time, will cast all votes to which they are entitled to elect directors designated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement.

Management Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, on December 9, 2013 we entered into a Management Agreement with certain affiliates of Bain Capital, L.P., (the “Manager”) for a term of five years, pursuant to which the Manager provides us with certain business consulting services. In exchange for these services, we paid the Manager a quarterly fee equal to four-tenths of one percent (0.4%) of our

- 113 -

total revenue generated during the calendar quarter beginning six months prior to such payment date, not to exceed $2 million per year. In addition, the Manager was entitled to a transaction fee in connection with any financing, acquisition, disposition or change of control transaction. The fees paid for these services, including transaction fees in connection with the Acquisition, were $10.3 million for fiscal 2017. We also reimbursed the Manager for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the services. The Management Agreement included customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in favor of the Manager and its affiliates. The Management Agreement terminated pursuant to its terms upon the consummation of our IPO, at which time we paid the Manager a lump sum amount of $9.6 million . The indemnification and exculpation provisions in favor of the Manager survived such termination.

Promissory Note from DTR LLC

As part of our Recapitalization, we received a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $63.6 million from DTR LLC, an entity indirectly controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer, (the “DTR Promissory Note”). The DTR Promissory Note was secured by a pledge of 63,576,003 Class D Preferred Shares held by DTR LLC. On January 31, 2017, all of our Class D Preferred Shares were redeemed by the company in exchange for the cancellation of the DTR Promissory Note.

Other Related Party Transactions

During fiscal 2019, the Company contributed approximately $1.0 million to Polar Bears International (PBI), a charitable organization for which our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dani Reiss, serves as a board member. The company also paid the Baffin vendor and related entities, which continue to be controlled by Paul Hubner, a member of management of the Company, approximately $0.6 million for lease costs associated with the Baffin manufacturing facility and other operating costs, as well as approximately $3.0 million for purchases of inventory during fiscal 2019.

Interest of Management and Others in Material Transactions

Except as set out above or described elsewhere in this Annual Report, there are no material interests, direct or indirect, of any of our directors or executive officers, any shareholder that beneficially owns, or controls or directs (directly or indirectly), more than 10% of any class or series of our outstanding voting securities, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, in any transaction within the three years before the date in this Annual Report that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect us or any of our subsidiaries.

Indebtedness of Directors, Executive Officers and Employees

Except as set out above or described elsewhere in this Annual Report, as of the date of this Annual Report, none of our directors, executive officers, employees, former directors, former executive officers or former employees or any of our subsidiaries, and none of their respective associates, is indebted to us or any of our subsidiaries or another entity whose indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding provided by us or any of our subsidiaries, except, as the case may be, for routine indebtedness as defined under applicable securities legislations.

A. Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Financial Information

See Item 18. — “Financial Statements.”

A.7 Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal or regulatory proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings to protect our intellectual property rights. As part of our monitoring program for our intellectual property rights, from time to time we file lawsuits for acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, trademark dilution, patent infringement or breach of other state or foreign laws. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and negotiated settlements with defendants. Defendants sometime raise the invalidity or unenforceability of our proprietary rights as affirmative defenses or counterclaims. We currently have no material legal or regulatory proceedings pending.


A.8	Dividend Policy

Our board of directors does not currently intend to pay dividends on our subordinate voting shares or multiple voting shares. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund business development and growth, and we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Currently, the provisions of our senior secured credit facilities place certain limitations on the amount of cash dividends that our main operating subsidiary can pay.

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The following is a summary of certain important provisions of our articles and certain related sections of the BCBCA. Please note that this is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. This summary is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of our articles and the BCBCA.

- 115 -

Stated Objects or Purposes

Our articles do not contain stated objects or purposes and do not place any limitations on the business that we may carry on.

Directors

Power to vote on matters in which a director is materially interested . Under the BCBCA a director who has a material interest in a contract or transaction, whether made or proposed, that is material to us, must disclose such interest to us, subject to certain exceptions such as if the contract or transaction: (i) is an arrangement by way of security granted by us for money loaned to, or obligations undertaken by, the director for our benefit or for one of our affiliates’ benefit; (ii) relates to an indemnity or insurance permitted under the BCBCA; (iii) relates to the remuneration of the director in his or her capacity as director, officer, employee or agent of our company or of one of our affiliates; (iv) relates to a loan to our company while the director is the guarantor of some or all of the loan; or (v) is with a corporation that is affiliated to us while the director is also a director or senior officer of that corporation or an affiliate of that corporation.

A director who holds such disclosable interest in respect of any material contract or transaction into which we have entered or propose to enter may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors will also be required to comply with certain other relevant provisions of the BCBCA regarding conflicts of interest.

Directors’ power to determine the remuneration of directors. The remuneration of our directors, if any, may be determined by our directors subject to our articles. The remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any of our employees (including executive officers) who are also directors.

Number of shares required to be owned by a director. Neither our articles nor the BCBCA provide that a director is required to hold any of our shares as a qualification for holding his or her office. Our board of directors has discretion to prescribe minimum share ownership requirements for directors.

Issuance of Additional Multiple Voting Shares

The rules of the TSX generally prohibit us from issuing additional multiple voting shares, however there may be certain circumstances where additional multiple voting shares may be issued, including upon receiving shareholder approval. Notably, approval is not required in connection with a subdivision or consolidation on a pro rata basis as between the subordinate voting shares and the multiple voting shares.

Subdivision or Consolidation

No subdivision or consolidation of the subordinate voting shares or the multiple voting shares may be carried out unless, at the same time, the multiple voting shares or the subordinate voting shares, as the case may be, are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner and on the same basis.

Certain Amendments and Change of Control

In addition to any other voting right or power to which the holders of subordinate voting shares shall be entitled by law or regulation or other provisions of our articles from time to time in effect,

- 116 -

but subject to the provisions of our articles, holders of subordinate voting shares shall be entitled to vote separately as a class, in addition to any other vote of our shareholders that may be required, in respect of any alteration, repeal or amendment of our articles which would adversely affect the rights or special rights of the holders of subordinate voting shares or affect the holders of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares differently, on a per share basis, including an amendment to our articles that provide that any multiple voting shares sold or transferred to a Person that is not a Permitted Holder shall be automatically converted into subordinate voting shares.

Pursuant to our articles, holders of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares will be treated equally and identically, on a per share basis, in certain change of control transactions that require approval of our shareholders under the BCBCA, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares, each voting separately as a class.

Our articles do not otherwise contain any change of control limitations with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring that involves us.

Shareholder Meetings

Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, we must hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every year at a time and place determined by our board of directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual general meeting. A meeting of our shareholders may be held anywhere in or outside British Columbia.

A notice to convene a meeting, specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, and, where a meeting is to consider special business, the general nature of the special business must be sent to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting and to each director not less than 21 days and no more than 60 days prior to the meeting, although, as a result of applicable securities laws, the minimum time for notice is effectively longer in most circumstances. Under the BCBCA, shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting may waive or reduce the period of notice for that meeting, provided applicable securities laws are met. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any person entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

A quorum for meetings of shareholders is present if shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 25% of the issued shares plus at least a majority of multiple voting shares entitled to be voted at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. If a quorum is not present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the meeting stands adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, unless the meeting was requisitioned by shareholders, in which case the meeting is dissolved.

Holders of our subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares are entitled to attend and vote at meetings of our shareholders except meetings at which only holders of a particular class are entitled to vote. Except as otherwise provided with respect to any particular series of preferred shares, and except as otherwise required by law, the holders of our preferred shares are not entitled as a class to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at any meetings of our shareholders. Our directors, our secretary (if any), our auditor and any other persons invited by our chairman or directors or with the consent of those at the meeting are entitled to attend any meeting of our shareholders but will not be counted in the quorum or be entitled to vote at the meeting unless he or she is a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

- 117 -

Shareholder Proposals and Advance Notice Procedures

Under the BCBCA, qualified shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of our issued voting shares may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends to bring before the meeting. To be a qualified shareholder, a shareholder must currently be and have been a registered or beneficial owner of at least one share of the company for at least two years before the date of signing the proposal.

We have included certain advance notice provisions with respect to the election of our directors in our articles (the “Advance Notice Provisions”). The Advance Notice Provisions are intended to: (i) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general meetings or, where the need arises, special meetings; (ii) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of board nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (iii) allow shareholders to register an informed vote. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the Advance Notice Provisions will be eligible for election as directors at any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors.

Under the Advance Notice Provisions, a shareholder wishing to nominate a director would be required to provide us notice, in the prescribed form, within the prescribed time periods. These time periods include, (i) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders (including annual and special meetings), not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders; provided, that if the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Notice Date”) is less than 50 days before the meeting date, not later than the close of business on the 10 ^th day following the Notice Date; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for any purpose which includes electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 15 ^th day following the Notice Date, provided that, in either instance, if notice-and-access (as defined in National Instrument 54-101- Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ) is used for delivery of proxy related materials in respect of a meeting described above, and the Notice Date in respect of the meeting is not less than 50 days prior to the date of the applicable meeting, the notice must be received not later than the close of business on the 40 ^th day before the applicable meeting.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next shareholder meeting the nomination of certain persons for director that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

Under applicable securities laws in Canada, an offer to purchase multiple voting shares would not necessarily require that an offer be made to purchase subordinate voting shares. In accordance with the rules of the TSX designed to ensure that, in the event of a take-over bid, the holders of subordinate voting shares will be entitled to participate on an equal footing with holders of multiple voting shares, the holders of multiple voting shares upon completion of this offering will enter into a customary coattail agreement with us and a trustee (the “Coattail Agreement”). The Coattail Agreement will contain provisions customary for dual-class, TSX-listed corporations designed to prevent transactions that otherwise would deprive the holders of subordinate voting shares of rights

- 118 -

under applicable securities laws in Canada to which they would have been entitled if the multiple voting shares had been subordinate voting shares.

The undertakings in the Coattail Agreement will not apply to prevent a sale by the holders of multiple voting shares or their Permitted Holders of multiple voting shares if concurrently an offer is made to purchase subordinate voting shares that:


(a)	offers a price per subordinate voting share at least as high as the highest price per share to be paid pursuant to the take-over bid for the multiple voting shares;

(b)

provides that the percentage of outstanding subordinate voting shares to be taken up (exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror or persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror) is at least as high as the percentage of multiple voting shares to be sold (exclusive of multiple voting shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror and persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror);


(c)	has no condition attached other than the right not to take up and pay for subordinate voting shares tendered if no shares are purchased pursuant to the offer for multiple voting shares; and


(d)	is in all other material respects identical to the offer for multiple voting shares.

In addition, the Coattail Agreement will not prevent the transfer of multiple voting shares to Permitted Holders, provided such transfer is not or would not have been subject to the requirements to make a take-over bid (if the vendor or transferee were in Canada) or constitutes or would be exempt from certain requirements applicable to take-over bids under applicable securities laws in Canada. The conversion of multiple voting shares into subordinate voting shares, whether or not such subordinate voting shares are subsequently sold, would not constitute a disposition of multiple voting shares for the purposes of the Coattail Agreement.

Under the Coattail Agreement, any sale of multiple voting shares by a holder of multiple voting shares party to the Coattail Agreement will be conditional upon the transferee becoming a party to the Coattail Agreement, to the extent such transferred multiple voting shares are not automatically converted into subordinate voting shares in accordance with our articles.

The Coattail Agreement will contain provisions for authorizing action by the trustee to enforce the rights under the Coattail Agreement on behalf of the holders of the subordinate voting shares. The obligation of the trustee to take such action will be conditional on us or holders of the subordinate voting shares providing such funds and indemnity as the trustee may reasonably require. No holder of subordinate voting shares will have the right, other than through the trustee, to institute any action or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy to enforce any rights arising under the Coattail Agreement unless the trustee fails to act on a request authorized by holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding subordinate voting shares and reasonable funds and indemnity have been provided to the trustee.

Other than in respect of non-material amendments and waivers that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of subordinate voting shares, the Coattail Agreement will provide that, among other things, it may not be amended, and no provision thereof may be waived, unless, prior to giving effect to such amendment or waiver, the following have been obtained: (a) the consent of the TSX and any other applicable securities regulatory authority in Canada; and (b) the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of subordinate voting shares represented at a

- 119 -

meeting duly called for the purpose of considering such amendment or waiver, excluding votes attached to subordinate voting shares held by the holders of multiple voting shares or their affiliates and related parties and any persons who have an agreement to purchase multiple voting shares on terms which would constitute a sale or disposition for purposes of the Coattail Agreement, other than as permitted thereby.

No provision of the Coattail Agreement will limit the rights of any holders of subordinate voting shares under applicable law.

Forum Selection

We have included a forum selection provision in our articles that provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Superior Court of Justice of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the appellate courts therefrom, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or other employees to us; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the BCBCA or our articles; or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the relationships among us, our affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors and/or officers, but excluding claims related to our business or such affiliates. The forum selection provision also provides that our securityholders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Province of Ontario and to service of process on their counsel in any foreign action initiated in violation of the foregoing provisions.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

Under the BCBCA, a company may indemnify: (i) a current or former director or officer of that company; (ii) a current or former director or officer of another corporation if, at the time such individual held such office, the corporation was an affiliate of the company, or if such individual held such office at the company’s request; or (iii) an individual who, at the request of the company, held, or holds, an equivalent position in another entity (an “indemnifiable person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative or other legal proceeding or investigative action (whether current, threatened, pending or completed) in which he or she is involved because of that person’s position as an indemnifiable person, unless: (i) the individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such company or the other entity, as the case may be; or (ii) in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. A company cannot indemnify an indemnifiable person if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles or by applicable law. A company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of that proceeding only if the indemnifiable person has provided an undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the indemnifiable person will repay any amounts advanced. Subject to the aforementioned prohibitions on indemnification, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of such eligible proceeding if such indemnifiable person has not been reimbursed for such expenses, and was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of such eligible proceeding or was substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of such eligible proceeding. On application from an indemnifiable person, a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in

- 120 -

respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification of penalties imposed or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement. As permitted by the BCBCA, our articles require us to indemnify our directors, officers, former directors or officers (and such individual’s respective heirs and legal representatives) and permit us to indemnify any person to the extent permitted by the BCBCA.

C. Material Contracts

The following is a summary of each material contract, other than material contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, to which we are a party, for the two years immediately preceding the date of this Annual Report:

Employment Agreements

See Item 6.B. — “Directors, Senior Management and Employees” — “Compensation” — “Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Directors and Related Parties”.

Revolving Facility Credit Agreement

On June 3, 2016, Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Canada Goose Inc. and Canada Goose International AG, entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders. A copy of the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.3 to the company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-216078), filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017, and is incorporated by reference herein.

On August 15, 2017, the company entered into an amendment (the “2017 Revolving Facility Amendment”) to the Revolving Facility. The 2017 Revolving Facility Amendment increased the commitments to $200.0 million with a seasonal increase of up to $250.0 million from June 1 through November 30 (“peak season”).

On May 10, 2019, the company entered into a further amendment (the “2019 Revolving Facility Amendment”) to the Revolving Facility. The 2019 Revolving Facility Amendment increased the aggregate credit commitments to $300.0 million with a seasonal increase of up to $350.0 million during peak season and extended the credit maturity date to the earlier of June 3, 2024 and the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On December 2, 2016, Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and Canada Goose Inc. entered into a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders. A copy of the Term Loan Credit Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.4 to the company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-216078), filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017, and is incorporated by reference herein.

On August 15, 2017, the company entered into an amendment (the “2017 Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Facility. The 2017 Term Loan Amendment was executed in connection with the syndication of the outstanding term loans by the existing term loan lenders and, among other things: (i) added a provision whereby the company would be required to pay a 1% prepayment premium on any prepayment of the term loans made in connection with a “Repricing

- 121 -

Transaction” (as defined in the 2017 Term Loan Amendment) or in connection with an amendment that constitutes a Repricing Transaction, in each case, within six months from August 15, 2017 and (ii) reset the “most-favored nation” protection in favor of the term loan lenders in the incremental facilities provisions of the Term Loan Facility, whereby if the company were to issue additional term loans under such incremental facilities provisions within 18 months from August 15, 2017 and the all-in yield on such additional term loans were to exceed the all-in-yield on the existing term loans by more than 50 basis points, the all-in-yield on such existing term loans would be increased so that the all-in-yield of the additional term loans does not exceed the all-in-yield on the existing term loans by more than 50 basis points.

On May 10, 2019, the company entered into an amendment (the “2019 Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Facility. The term loans issued in connection with the 2019 Term Loan Amendment (the “2019 Refinancing Term Loans”) were used to refinance in full all of the initial term loans then outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. The interest rates for the 2019 Refinancing Term Loans are LIBOR plus 3.50% for LIBOR Loans and ABR plus 2.50% for ABR Loans. Among other things, the 2019 Term Loan Amendment extended the maturity date for the Term Loan Facility to December 2, 2024.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify them against a number of liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or executive officer of the company. A copy of the Form of Indemnification Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.28 to the company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-216078), filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017, and is incorporated by reference herein.

D. Exchange Controls

We are not aware of any governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by our affiliated companies, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities. Any remittances of dividends to residents of the United States and to other non-resident holders are, however, subject to withholding tax. See Item 10.E. - “Taxation”.

E. Taxation

Subject to the limitations and qualifications stated herein, this discussion sets forth certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition by U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the subordinate voting shares. The discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect and all subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders and does not address tax consequences to a non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) investing in our subordinate voting shares.

This discussion of a U.S. Holder’s tax consequences addresses only those persons that acquire and hold subordinate voting shares as capital assets and does not address the tax consequences to any special class of holders, including without limitation, holders (directly, indirectly or constructively) of 10% or more of our equity (based on voting power or value), dealers in securities

- 122 -

or currencies, banks, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, traders in securities that elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons that hold securities that are a hedge or that are hedged against currency or interest rate risks or that are part of a straddle, conversion or “integrated” transaction, U.S. expatriates, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and U.S. Holders whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address the effect of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, U.S. federal estate and gift tax, the 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws on a holder of subordinate voting shares.

In addition, new rules enacted pursuant to the legislation recently enacted in the United States commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) may also accelerate the timing when a holder must include income recognized with respect to our subordinate voting shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of subordinate voting shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (d) a trust (i) if a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over its administration, and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of that trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. The term “non-U.S. Holder” means any beneficial owner of our subordinate voting shares that is not a U.S. Holder, a partnership (or an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a person holding our subordinate voting shares through such an entity or arrangement.

If a partnership or an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our subordinate voting shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in partnerships that hold our subordinate voting shares should consult their own tax advisors.

The TCJA comprehensively changes the U.S. federal income tax system. The interpretation and application of many provisions of this law are unclear and we are assessing potential adverse consequences to us and holders of our subordinate voting shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such changes and their potential impact related to an investment in our subordinate voting shares.

You are urged to consult your own independent tax advisor regarding the specific U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of our subordinate voting shares.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

As described in Item 8.A.8 above, we currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund business development and growth, and we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. However, to the extent there are any distributions made with respect to our subordinate voting

- 123 -

shares, subject to the passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat distributions received with respect to its subordinate voting shares (including the amount of Canadian taxes withheld, if any) as dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (computed using U.S. federal income tax principles), with the excess treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its subordinate voting shares and, thereafter, as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange on the day actually or constructively received by a U.S. Holder. There can be no assurance that we will maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax accounting principles. U.S. Holders should therefore assume that any distribution with respect to our subordinate voting shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends paid on the subordinate voting shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations.

Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder by a “qualified foreign corporation” may be subject to reduced rates of taxation if certain holding period and other requirements are met. A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a foreign corporation (other than a PFIC) if (i) its subordinate voting shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (ii) it is eligible for benefits under a comprehensive U.S. income tax treaty that includes an exchange of information program and which the U.S. Treasury Department has determined is satisfactory for these purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends in light of their particular circumstances.

Non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

Distributions paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, whether or not the payment is converted into U.S. dollars at that time. The U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in such currency equal to such U.S. dollar amount, and any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or conversion of the foreign currency for a different U.S. dollar amount will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.

A U.S. Holder who pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian taxes with respect to dividends paid on our subordinate voting shares may be entitled to receive either a deduction or a foreign tax credit for such Canadian taxes paid. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. Dividends paid by us generally will constitute “foreign source” income and generally will be categorized as “passive category income.” However, if 50% or more of our equity (based on voting power or value) is treated as held by U.S. persons, we will be treated as a “United States-owned foreign corporation,” in which case dividends may be treated for foreign tax credit limitation purposes as “foreign source” income to the extent attributable to our non-U.S. source earnings and profits and as “U.S. source” income to the extent attributable to our U.S. source

- 124 -

earnings and profits. Because the foreign tax credit rules are complex, each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Sale or Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the taxable sale or exchange of its subordinate voting shares in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar amount realized on such sale or exchange (determined in the case of subordinate voting shares sold or exchanged for currencies other than U.S. dollars by reference to the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of the sale or exchange or, if the subordinate voting shares sold or exchanged are traded on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer, the spot exchange rate in effect on the settlement date) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the subordinate voting shares determined in U.S. dollars. The initial tax basis of the subordinate voting shares to a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. Holder’s U.S. dollar purchase price for the subordinate voting shares (determined by reference to the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of the purchase, or if the subordinate voting shares purchased are traded on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer, the spot exchange rate in effect on the settlement date).

Assuming we are not a PFIC and have not been treated as a PFIC during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for our subordinate voting shares, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term gain or loss if the subordinate voting shares have been held for more than one year. Under current law, long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Capital gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Status as a PFIC

The rules governing PFICs can have adverse tax effects on U.S. Holders. We generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if, for any taxable year, either: (1) 75% or more of our gross income consists of certain types of passive income, or (2) the average value (determined on a quarterly basis), of our assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is 50% or more of the value of all of our assets.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.

Additionally, if we are classified as a PFIC in any taxable year with respect to which a U.S. Holder owns subordinate voting shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding taxable years, regardless of whether we continue to meet the tests described above, unless the U.S. Holder makes the “deemed sale election” described below.

- 125 -

We do not believe that we are currently a PFIC, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually and depends on the particular facts and circumstances (such as the valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets) and also may be affected by the application of the PFIC rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. The fair market value of our assets is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market price of our subordinate voting shares, which is likely to fluctuate, and (b) the composition of our income and assets, which will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend any cash that is raised in any financing transaction. In light of the foregoing, no assurance can be provided that we are not currently a PFIC or that we will not become a PFIC in any future taxable year. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding our potential PFIC status.

U.S. federal income tax treatment of a shareholder of a PFIC

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns subordinate voting shares, the U.S. Holder, absent certain elections (including the mark-to-market and QEF elections described below), generally will be subject to adverse rules (regardless of whether we continue to be classified as a PFIC) with respect to (i) any “excess distributions” (generally, any distributions received by the U.S. Holder on its subordinate voting shares in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its subordinate voting shares) and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of its subordinate voting shares.

Under these adverse rules (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income and (c) the amount allocated to each other taxable year during the U.S. Holder’s holding period in which we were classified as a PFIC (i) will be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable category of taxpayer for that year and (ii) will be subject to an interest charge at a statutory rate with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

If we are classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of stock or shares owned by us in any direct or indirect subsidiaries that are also PFICs and will be subject to similar adverse rules with respect to any distributions we receive from, and dispositions we make of, the stock or shares of such subsidiaries. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

If we are classified as a PFIC and then cease to be so classified, a U.S. Holder may make an election (a “deemed sale election”) to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having sold such U.S. Holder’s subordinate voting shares on the last day our taxable year during which we were a PFIC. A U.S. Holder that makes a deemed sale election would then cease to be treated as owning stock in a PFIC by reason of ownership of our subordinate voting shares. However, gain recognized as a result of making the deemed sale election would be subject to the adverse rules described above and loss would not be recognized.

- 126 -

PFIC “mark-to-market” election

In certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder can avoid certain of the adverse rules described above by making a mark-to-market election with respect to its subordinate voting shares, provided that the subordinate voting shares are “marketable.” Subordinate voting shares will be marketable if they are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange” or other market within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. The NYSE is a “qualified exchange.” U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to such rules.

A U.S. Holder that makes a mark-to-market election must include in gross income, as ordinary income, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s subordinate voting shares at the close of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its subordinate voting shares. An electing U.S. Holder may also claim an ordinary loss deduction for the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its subordinate voting shares over the fair market value of its subordinate voting shares at the close of the taxable year, but this deduction is allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income. A U.S. Holder that makes a mark-to-market election generally will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its subordinate voting shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such mark-to-market election. Gains from an actual sale or other disposition of subordinate voting shares in a year in which we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income, and any losses incurred on a sale or other disposition of subordinate voting shares will be treated as ordinary losses to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder owns subordinate voting shares but before a mark-to-market election is made, the adverse PFIC rules described above will apply to any mark-to market gain recognized in the year the election is made. Otherwise, a mark-to-market election will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years. The election cannot be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) unless the subordinate voting shares cease to be marketable, in which case the election is automatically terminated.

A mark-to-market election is not permitted for the shares of any of our subsidiaries that are also classified as PFICs. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of, and the procedure for making, a mark-to-market election.

PFIC “QEF” election

In some cases, a shareholder of a PFIC can avoid the interest charge and the other adverse PFIC consequences described above by obtaining certain information from such PFIC and by making a QEF election to be taxed currently on its share of the PFIC’s undistributed income. We do not, however, expect to provide the information regarding our income that would be necessary in order for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election with respect to subordinate voting shares if we are classified as a PFIC .

PFIC information reporting requirements

If we are a PFIC in any year, a U.S. Holder of subordinate voting shares in such year will be required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on such

- 127 -

subordinate voting shares and any gain realized on disposition of such subordinate voting shares. In addition, if we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will generally be required to file an annual information return with the IRS (also on IRS Form 8621, which PFIC shareholders are required to file with their U.S. federal income tax or information return) relating to their ownership of subordinate voting shares. This new filing requirement is in addition to the pre-existing reporting requirements described above that apply to a U.S. Holder’s interest in a PFIC (which this requirement does not affect).

NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY A PFIC OR THAT WE WILL NOT BECOME A PFIC IN THE FUTURE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION OF THE PFIC RULES AND RELATED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE ADVISABILITY OF MAKING ANY ELECTION THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE.

Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

Information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service generally will be required with respect to payments on the subordinate voting shares and proceeds of the sale, exchange or redemption of the subordinate voting shares paid within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries to holders that are U.S. taxpayers, other than exempt recipients. A “backup” withholding tax may apply to those payments if such holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number to the paying agent or fails to certify that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred (or if such holder otherwise fails to establish an exemption). We or the applicable paying agent will withhold on a distribution if required by applicable law. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Holders that own certain “foreign financial assets” (which may include the subordinate voting shares) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions, on IRS Form 8938. In addition to these requirements, U.S. Holders may be required to annually file FinCEN Report 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (“FBAR”) with the U.S. Department of Treasury. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability of FBAR and other reporting requirements in light of their individual circumstances.

Canadian Tax Implications for Non-Canadian Holders

The following is a general summary, as of the date hereof, of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to the holding and disposition of subordinate voting shares by a beneficial owner. This summary only applies to such a holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times: (1) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of any applicable income tax treaty or convention; (2) deals at arm’s length with us; (3) is not affiliated with us; (4) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, subordinate voting shares in a business carried on in Canada; (5) has not entered into, with respect to the subordinate voting shares, a “derivative forward agreement” as that term is defined in the Tax Act and (6) holds the subordinate voting shares as capital property (a “Non-Canadian Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Canadian Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

- 128 -

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty”) publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisor with respect to your particular circumstances. Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the subordinate voting shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the exchange rates as determined in accordance with the Tax Act. The amount of any dividends required to be included in the income of, and capital gains or capital losses realized by, a Non-Canadian Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited on the subordinate voting shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the subordinate voting shares to a Non-Canadian Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Canadian Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, where dividends on the subordinate voting shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Canadian Holder that is a beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits of, the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%. A disposition of subordinate voting shares to us may in certain circumstances result in a deemed dividend.

Dispositions

A Non-Canadian Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a subordinate voting share, unless, at the time of disposition, the subordinate voting shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Canadian Holder for purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Canadian Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Canadian Holder is resident.

Generally, the subordinate voting shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Canadian Holder at a particular time provided that the subordinate voting shares are listed at that time on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Tax Act), which includes the NYSE and the TSX, unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (i) one or any combination of (a) the Non- Canadian Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Canadian

- 129 -

Holder does not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Canadian Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock, and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the subordinate voting shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of : (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act) and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, subordinate voting shares could be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.” Non-Canadian Holders whose subordinate voting shares may constitute “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

THE ABOVE DISCUSSION DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2019, and the related notes and the schedule of Condensed Financial Information of Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also 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 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 28, 2019, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of material weaknesses.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, of the Company and our report dated May 28, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Baffin Limited, which was acquired on November 1, 2018, and whose financial statements constitute less than 5% and less than 10% of total assets and net assets, respectively, of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Baffin Limited.

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 Annual 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

F- 3

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.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment: Management identified material weaknesses in the Company’s overall control environment due to the aggregate effect of multiple deficiencies in internal controls, which affected two components of the internal control as defined by COSO, namely control activities and, information and communication. Management did not design and maintain effective controls over the following, each of which is a material weakness: (a) the occurrence and accuracy of revenue and the existence of the related accounts receivable, and access controls to customer master data; and (b) the existence and valuation of inventory, including inventory costing and access controls to inventory master data. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

Note 1 . The Company

Organization

Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) design, manufacture, and sell premium outdoor apparel for men, women, youth, children, and babies. The Company’s apparel collections include various styles of parkas, jackets, shells, vests, knitwear, footwear, and accessories for fall, winter, and spring seasons. The Company’s head office is located at 250 Bowie Avenue, Toronto, Canada M6E 4Y2. The use of the terms “Canada Goose”, “we”, “us” and “our” throughout these notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the Company.

Canada Goose is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “GOOS”. The principal shareholders of the Company are investment funds advised by Bain Capital LP and its affiliates (“Bain Capital”), and DTR LLC, DTR (CG) Limited Partnership, and DTR (CG) II Limited Partnership (collectively “DTR”), entities indirectly controlled by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal shareholders hold multiple voting shares representing 46.3% of the total shares outstanding as at March 31, 2019 , or 89.6% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding. Subordinate voting shares that trade on public markets represent 53.7% of the total shares outstanding as at March 31, 2019 , or 10.4% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding.

Statement of compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 28, 2019.

Fiscal year

The fiscal year-end of the Company ends on March 31 .

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items, which are recorded at fair value:


•	financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, at fair value in other comprehensive income and through profit or loss, and


•	initial recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented, with the exception of transitional provisions applied in adopting new accounting standards (note 4).

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over, exposure or rights to variable returns from the Company’s involvement with the entity, and

F- 9

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of the Company’s returns. The financial accounts and results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Note 2 . Significant accounting policies


(a)	Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment operating results are reviewed regularly to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

The Company classifies its business in two operating and reportable segments: Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer. The Wholesale business comprises sales made to a mix of functional and fashionable retailers, including major luxury department stores, outdoor specialty stores, individual shops, and to international distributors.

The Direct-to-Consumer business comprises sales through our country-specific e-commerce platforms and Company-owned retail stores located in luxury shopping malls and high street locations.


(b)	Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured in the functional currency, which is using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation when items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the changes at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income in selling, general and administrative expenses, except when included in other comprehensive income for qualifying cash flow and net investment hedges.

Foreign operations

The Company’s foreign operations are principally conducted through Canada Goose US, Inc., Canada Goose International AG,and CG (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd.

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into the functional currency of the Company using the exchange rate at the reporting date. Revenues and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. The resulting foreign exchange translation differences are recorded as a currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income.

F- 9

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)


(c)	Seasonality

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results and historically have realized a significant portion of our wholesale revenue and operating income for the year during our second and third fiscal quarters and Direct-to-Consumer revenue and operating income in our third and fourth fiscal quarters. Thus, lower-than-expected net revenue in these periods could have an adverse impact on our annual operating results.

Working capital requirements typically increase during the first and second quarters of the fiscal year as inventory builds to support peak shipping and selling periods and, accordingly, typically decrease during the third and fourth quarter of the fiscal year as inventory is sold and trade receivables are converted to cash. After retail stores are opened, operating costs in our Direct-to-Consumer channel are consistent over the year while revenue and related cash collections fluctuate. Borrowings on our revolving facility have historically increased over the first and second quarters and are repaid in the third quarter of the fiscal year. Cash flows from operating activities are typically highest in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year due to the timing of collection of wholesale trade receivables and revenue in the Direct-to-Consumer channel during that period and increased cash inflows from the peak selling season.


(d)	Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises of the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is presented net of sales tax, estimated returns, sales allowances, and discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company has agreed terms with its customers, the contractual rights and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, it is probable that consideration will be collected by the Company, and when specific criteria for transfer of control to the customer have been met for each of the Company’s activities, as described below.


i)	Wholesale

Wholesale revenue comprises sales of the Company's products to third-party resellers (which includes international distributors and retailers). Wholesale revenue from the sale of goods is recognized, net of an estimated provision for sales returns, discounts and allowances, when the control of the goods has been transferred to the reseller, which depends on the precise terms of the agreement with each reseller.


ii)	Direct-to-Consumer

Direct-to-Consumer revenue consists of sales through the Company’s e-commerce operations and Company-owned retail stores. Sales through e-commerce operations are recognized upon estimated delivery of the goods to the customer, net of an estimated provision for sales returns, when control of the goods has transferred from the Company to the customer. Sales through our Company-owned

F- 10

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

retail stores are recognized upon delivery to the customer at the point of sale, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.

(e) Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method as of the acquisition date, which is the date when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Company and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are recognized in the statement of income as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the fair value of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

When the consideration transferred in a business combination includes contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value. Contingent consideration is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates at its fair value, and the resulting gain or loss recognized in the statement of income.


(f)	Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the common shares by the weighted average number of multiple and subordinated voting shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of multiple and subordinated voting shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of subordinate shares that would be issued on the exercise of all stock options and settlement of restricted share units (“RSU”).


(g)	Income taxes

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to a business combination, or items recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current income tax

Current income tax is the expected income tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to income tax payable in respect of previous years.

F- 11

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method for temporary differences at the reporting date between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax is measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused income tax losses and credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred tax relates to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.


(h)	Cash

Cash consists of cash and cash equivalents, including cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term deposits with maturities of less than 3 months. The Company uses the indirect method of reporting cash flow from operating activities.


(i)	Trade receivables

Trade receivables, including credit card receivables, consist of amounts owing where we have extended credit to customers on product sales and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less expected credit loss and sales allowances. The allowance for expected credit loss is recorded against trade receivables and is based on historical experience.


(j)	Inventories

Raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of work-in-process and finished goods inventories include the cost of raw materials and an applicable share of the cost of labour and fixed and variable production overhead, including depreciation of property, plant and equipment used in the production of finished goods and design costs, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

F- 12

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

The Company estimates net realizable value as the amount at which inventories are expected to be sold, taking into consideration fluctuations in selling prices due to seasonality, less estimated costs necessary to complete the sale.

Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining selling prices. Inventory is adjusted to reflect estimated loss (“shrinkage”) incurred since the last inventory count. Shrinkage is based on historical experience. When circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in realizable value, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.

Storage costs, indirect administrative overhead and certain selling costs related to inventories are expensed in the period that these costs are incurred.


(k)	Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, including costs incurred to prepare the asset for its intended use and capitalized borrowing costs, when the recognition criteria are met. The commencement date for capitalization of costs occurs when the Company first incurs expenditures for the qualifying assets and undertakes the required activities to prepare the assets for their intended use.

Property, plant and equipment assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives when the assets are available for use. When significant parts of a fixed asset have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components and depreciated separately. Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and are adjusted for prospectively, if appropriate. Estimated useful lives are as follows:



Asset Category	Estimated Useful Life
Plant equipment	10 years
Computer hardware	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the lease term or useful life of the asset
Show displays	5 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 to 15 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is included in the statement of income when the asset is derecognized.

The cost of repairs and maintenance of fixed assets is expensed as incurred and recognized in the statement of income.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the possibility of impairment is indicated, the entity will estimate the recoverable amount of the asset and record any impairment loss in the statement of income.

F- 13

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)


(l)	Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with finite lives are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Lease rights in connection with the opening of new Company-owned retail stores are recorded based on the amount paid. Lease rights have a definite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

An internally generated intangible asset is recorded for product development costs which are included within intellectual property. Product development costs are incurred in the design, production and testing of new products where the technical feasibility of commercial manufacturing and sale of the product has been demonstrated.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.



Asset Category	Estimated Useful Life
Brand name	Indefinite
Domain name	Indefinite
ERP software	7 years
Computer software	5 years
Lease rights	Lease term
Intellectual property	1 to 8 years
Customer lists	4 years

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives comprise of the Canada Goose and Baffin brand names (note 5 ) and domain name, which were acquired as part of an acquisition and were recorded at their estimated fair value. The brand names and domain name are considered to have an indefinite life based on a history of revenue and cash flow performance, and the intent and ability of the Company to support the brand with spending to maintain its value for the foreseeable future. The brand names and domain name are tested at least annually for impairment, at the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life on straight-line basis. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of income over its estimated useful life.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are included in the statement of income when the asset is derecognized.

F- 14

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

Intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the possibility of impairment is indicated, the entity will estimate the recoverable amount of the asset and record any impairment loss in the statement of income.


(m)	Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price of an acquired business and the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities assumed. It is initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to CGUs based on the lowest level within the entity in which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The allocation is made to those CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Any potential impairment of goodwill is identified by comparing the recoverable amount of a CGU to its carrying value. Goodwill is reduced by the amount of deficiency, if any. If the deficiency exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, the carrying values of the remaining assets in the CGU are reduced by the excess on a pro-rata basis. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of the estimated fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use of the CGU. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

The Company has determined that the goodwill contributes to the cash flows of seven CGUs (2018 - six CGUs).


(n)	Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized in the statement of income.

The provision for warranty returns relates to the Company’s obligation for defective goods sold to customers that have yet to be returned. Accruals for warranty returns are estimated on the basis of historical returns and are recorded so as to allocate them to the same period the corresponding revenue is recognized.


(o)	Employee future benefits

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plan membership, which is limited to certain employees of Canada Goose International AG and other subsidiaries who reside in Switzerland.

F- 15

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

The measurement date for the defined benefit pension plan is March 31 . The obligation associated with the Company’s defined benefit pension plan is actuarially valued using the projected unit credit method, management’s best estimate assumptions, salary escalation, inflation, life expectancy, and a current market discount rate. Assets are measured at fair value. The obligation in excess of plan assets is recorded as a liability. All actuarial gains or losses, net of tax, are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income.


(p)	Fair values

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or


•	In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The Company uses valuation techniques that it believes are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

F- 16

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

There was no change in the valuation techniques applied to financial instruments during all periods presented. The following table describes the valuation techniques used in the determination of the fair values of financial instruments:



Type	Valuation Approach
Cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities	The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.
Derivatives (included in other current assets, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities)	Specific valuation techniques used to value derivative financial instruments include: - Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments; - Observable market information as well as valuations determined by external valuators with experience in the financial markets.
Revolving facility and term loan	The fair value is based on the present value of contractual cash flows, discounted at the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements or, where applicable, market rates.


(q)	Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss) are added to, or deducted from, the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below.


i)	Non-derivative financial assets


ii)	Non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities, revolving facility, and term loan. The Company initially recognizes debt instruments issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.


iii)	Derivative financial instruments


iv)	Hedge accounting

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are transferred to the statement of income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income. When a forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, such as inventory, the amounts are included in the measurement of the cost of the related asset or liability. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in the statement of income.

(r)	Share-based payments

Share-based payments are valued based on the grant date fair value of these awards and the Company records compensation expense over the corresponding service period. The fair value of the share-based payments is determined using acceptable valuation techniques.

The Company has issued stock options to purchase subordinate voting shares and RSUs under its equity incentive plans, prior to the public offering on March 21, 2017 (the “Legacy Plan”) and subsequently (the “Omnibus Plan”). Under the terms of the Legacy Plan, options were granted to certain employees of the Company with vesting contingent upon meeting the service, performance goals and exit event conditions of the Legacy Plan. There are two types of stock options: service-vested options are time based and generally vest over five years of service, and performance-based and exit event options vest upon attainment of performance conditions and the occurrence of an exit event. Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, options are granted to certain executives of the Company with vesting, generally over four years , contingent upon meeting the service conditions of the Omnibus Plan. The compensation expense related to the options and RSUs is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, provided it is probable that the vesting conditions will be achieved and the occurrence of the exit event, if applicable, is probable.


(s)	Leases

Operating lease payments net of any lease inducements are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 3 . Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and are based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses. These estimates and judgments have been applied in a manner consistent with prior periods and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making these estimates and judgments in these financial statements.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Inventories

Key Sources of Estimation: Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In estimating net realizable value, the Company uses estimates related to fluctuations in inventory levels, planned production, customer behaviour, obsolescence, future selling prices, seasonality and costs necessary to sell the inventory. Inventory is adjusted to reflect shrinkage incurred since the last inventory count. Shrinkage is based on historical experience.

Impairment of non-financial assets (goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant & equipment)

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied: Management is required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their CGUs for the purposes of testing non-financial assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment. For the purpose of goodwill and intangible assets impairment testing, CGUs are grouped at the lowest level at which goodwill and intangible assets are monitored for internal management purposes. Judgment is also applied in allocating the carrying amount of assets to CGUs. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an impairment test to be completed. The Company has concluded that it has seven CGUs and tests goodwill and these intangible assets for impairment on that basis.

Key Sources of Estimation: In determining the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs, various estimates are employed. The Company determines value in use by using estimates including projected future revenues, margins, costs, and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the Board of Directors. Fair value less costs of disposal are estimated with reference to observable market transactions. Discount rates are consistent with external industry information reflecting the risk associated with Company and cash flows.

Income and other taxes

Key Sources of Estimation: In determining the recoverable amount of deferred tax assets, the Company forecasts future taxable income by legal entity and the period in which the income occurs to ensure that sufficient taxable income exists to utilize the attributes. Inputs to those projections are Board-approved financial forecasts and statutory tax rates.

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied: The calculation of current and deferred income taxes requires management to make certain judgments regarding the tax rules in jurisdictions where the Company performs activities. Application of judgments is required regarding the classification of transactions and in assessing probable outcomes of claimed deductions including expectations about future operating results, the timing and reversal of temporary differences and possible audits of income tax and other tax filings by the tax authorities.

Functional currency

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied: The Company assesses the relevant factors related to the primary economic environment in which its entities operate to determine the functional currency. Where the assessment of primary indicators is mixed, management assesses the secondary indicators, including the relationship between the foreign operations and reporting entity.

Financial instruments

Key Sources of Estimation: The critical assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are: equity prices; future interest rates; the relative creditworthiness of the Company to its counterparties; estimated future cash flows; discount rates; and volatility utilized in option valuations.

Trade receivables

Key Sources of Estimation: The Company has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. The Company does not have any customers which account for

F- 20

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable. We make ongoing estimates relating to the ability to collect our accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of estimated credit losses, we consider our historical level of credit losses and make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations.

Share-based payments

Key Sources of Estimation: Compensation expense for share-based compensation granted is measured at the fair value at the grant date using the Black Scholes option pricing model for the year ended March 31, 2019 ; prior to the public offering, the Company used the Monte Carlo valuation model to measure the fair value of options granted. The critical assumptions used under both of these option valuation models at the grant date are: stock price valuation; exercise price; risk-free interest rate; expected time to exercise in years; expected dividend yield; and volatility.

Warranty

Key Sources of Estimation: The critical assumptions and estimates used in determining the warranty provision at the statement of financial position date are: number of jackets expected to require repair or replacement; proportion to be repaired versus replaced; period in which the warranty claim is expected to occur; cost of repair; cost of jacket replacement; and risk-free rate used to discount the provision to present value.

Business combinations

Key Sources of Estimation: In a business combination, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized at their fair values. The Company makes judgments and estimates in determining the fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill, if positive, and if negative, it is recognized in the statement of income.

Note 4 . Changes in accounting policies

Standards issued and adopted

Certain new standards became effective at the beginning of the current fiscal year. The impact from the adoption of these new standards is described below.

Revenue

F- 21

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

As a result of adopting IFRS 15, the Company updated its accounting policies for the recognition of revenue (note 2 ).

Financial instruments

The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018, resulting in no significant adjustment to retained earnings and no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company assessed which business models apply to the financial assets and liabilities held and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories. Adoption of the new classification requirements under IFRS 9 did not result in significant changes in the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The following table summarizes the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9 for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities:



Asset/Liability	Original classification under IAS 39	New classification under IFRS 9
Cash	Loans and other receivables	Amortized cost
Trade receivables	Loans and other receivables	Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Revolving facility	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Term loan	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Derivatives, not in a hedging relationship	Fair value through profit or loss	Fair value through profit or loss

Upon transition the Company’s derivatives designated as hedges continue to meet the hedging criteria, therefore the fair values flow through other comprehensive income under both IAS 39 and IFRS 9.

The Company updated its accounting policies as a result of adopting IFRS 9 (note 2 ).

F- 22

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

Share-based payment

Effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment , clarifying the accounting for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018, with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments, and interpretations is provided below.

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”), replacing IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations. The standard provides a new framework for lessee accounting that requires substantially all assets related to operating leases to be capitalized and a corresponding liability to be recorded. The new standard seeks to provide a more complete picture of a company’s leased assets and related liabilities and create greater comparability between companies who lease assets and those who purchase assets. IFRS 16 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and is to be applied retrospectively. The standard permits the application of various transition options and practical expedients on initial adoption, and the more significant choices are described below.

IFRS 16 is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position. The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment, and based on current estimates it expects to recognize right-of-use assets in the range of $130 to $150 and corresponding lease obligations in the range of $140 to $160 , before taking into account the related deferred tax impact. Deferred rent liabilities under the existing standard will be adjusted to opening retained earnings.

In April, 2019, the Company recorded additional right-of-use assets and lease obligations with an impact of between $55 and $65 for leases with a commencement date following the transition.

Note 5 . Business combination

On November 1, 2018 , a newly incorporated subsidiary of the Company, Baffin Limited (“Baffin”), acquired the business of Baffin Inc. (the “Baffin Vendor”), a Canadian designer and manufacturer of performance outdoor and industrial footwear for total purchase consideration of $35.1 .

Management determined that the assets and processes comprised a business and therefore accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquired assets, net of the assumed liabilities is as follows:



	$
Cash	33.6
Issuance of 16,946 subordinate voting shares	1.5
Total purchase consideration	35.1

In connection with the business combination, a further amount of $3.0 is payable on November 1, 2020 to the Baffin Vendor and will be charged to expense over two years .

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $1.3 as at March 31, 2019 which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition are as follows:



	$
Trade receivables	12.2
Inventories	15.9
Other current assets	0.3
Property, plant and equipment	2.5
Intangible assets
Brand	2.5
Technology	2.2
Goodwill	7.8
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(8.3	)
Total assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed	35.1

The fair values of working capital balances, other than inventories, have been measured at their book values at the date of acquisition, which approximate their fair values. The fair value of inventories has been measured at net realizable value, less costs to sell.

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on management’s assessment of the acquired assets’ condition, as well as an evaluation of the current market value for such assets. In addition, the Company considered the length of time over which the economic benefit of these assets is expected to be realized and estimated the useful life of such assets as of the acquisition date.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of brand and technology. The fair value of the brand was $2.5 , measured using the relief-from-royalty approach. The fair value of technology was $2.2 , measured using the replacement cost method. Under this method, the technology is valued based

F- 24

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

upon the costs the Company would incur to develop a similar asset. The Company considered the length of time over which the economic benefits of these assets is expected to be realized and estimated the useful life of such assets accordingly as at the acquisition date. Specifically, the brand is considered to have an indefinite life; accordingly, it will be assessed for impairment annually or earlier if there are indicators of impairment. Technology is considered to have a useful life of 5 years and is being amortized on a straight-line basis. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired has been accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill is mainly attributable to the expected future growth potential of the footwear business and is deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations have been consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition including the results from the wholesale business in the wholesale operating segment and the e-commerce business in the Direct-to-Consumer operating segment. Pro forma disclosures as if Baffin was acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year have not been presented as they are not considered material to these financial statements.

The controlling shareholder of the Baffin Vendor is employed as a member of key management subsequent to the acquisition. Transactions with the Baffin Vendor and other affiliates in connection with the acquisition and subsequently (including lease of premises and other operating costs) are related party transactions (note 20 ).

Note 6 . Segment information

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer. The Company measures each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and segment operating income, which is the profit metric utilized by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, for assessing the performance of operating segments. Neither reportable operating segment is reliant on any single external customer. Selling, general and administrative expenses not directly associated with the Wholesale or Direct-to-Consumer segments (unallocated) relate to the cost of marketing expenditures to build brand awareness across all segments, corporate costs in support of manufacturing operations, other corporate costs and foreign exchange gains and losses not specifically associated with segment operations.

The Company does not report total assets or total liabilities based on its reportable operating segments.

All the deferred income tax assets were recognized because it is probable that future taxable income will be available to the Company to utilize the benefits.

The Company does not recognize tax on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries as it is management’s intent to reinvest these earnings indefinitely. Unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries were $119.1 as at March 31, 2019 ( 2018 - $48.4 , 2017 - $15.0 ).

In addition to the amount charged to profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a tax recovery of $2.8 was recognized directly in equity related to excess tax deductions on share-based payments for stock options exercised.

Note 8 . Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net income for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares, if any, that would be issued on exercise of stock options and settlement of RSUs (note 18 ).

Certain performance-vested exit event options issued under the Company’s Legacy Plan (note 18 ) became exercisable into subordinate voting shares upon the closing of a qualifying liquidity event or sale of shares. Such instruments are not considered dilutive until the occurrence of the event that would result in exercise and are excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share prior to the occurrence of an exit event. The completion of the public share offering on March 21, 2017 and the secondary offering on July 5, 2017 each represent exit events, and performance-vested exit event options that became exercisable on each date are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share from the date of the exit event that satisfies the contingent performance conditions. As of July 5, 2017, all exit event conditions have been met, and no outstanding options are subject to exit event conditions.

For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the cost of intangible assets in progress in the table above has been disclosed separately. Comparative figures for the year ended March 31, 2017 have been reclassified to correspond with the presentation adopted in the current year.

Indefinite life intangible assets

Indefinite life intangible assets recorded by the Company are comprised of the Canada Goose and Baffin brand names and domain name associated with the Company’s website. The Company expects to renew the registration of the brand names, and domain names at each expiry date indefinitely, and expects these assets to generate economic benefit in perpetuity. As such, the Company assessed these intangibles to have indefinite useful lives.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

The Company completed its annual impairment tests in 2019 and 2018 for indefinite life intangible assets and concluded that there was no impairment.

Key Assumptions

The key assumptions used to calculate the value-in-use (VIU) are consistent with the assumptions used to calculate VIU for goodwill (note 13 ).

Note 13 . Goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations is as follows:



	2019	2018
	$	$
Opening balance	45.3	45.3
Business combination (note 5)	7.8	—
Goodwill	53.1	45.3

The Company completed its annual impairment tests in 2019 and 2018 for goodwill and concluded that there was no impairment.

Key Assumptions

The key assumptions used to calculate the VIU are those regarding discount rate, revenue and gross margin growth rates, sales channel mix, and growth in selling, general and administrative expenses. These assumptions are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The goodwill impairment tests resulted in excess of recoverable value over carrying value of at least 30.8% for each CGU. Because the VIU amount exceeds the asset’s carrying amount, the asset is not impaired and the fair value less costs of disposition has not been calculated.

Cash flow projections were discounted using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, determined to be 9.25% based on a risk-free rate, an equity risk premium adjusted for betas of comparable publicly traded companies, an unsystematic risk premium, country risk premium, country-specific risk premium, a cost of debt based on comparable corporate bond yields and the capital structure of the Company.

Note 14 . Accounts payables and accrued liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of the following:



	2019	2018
	$	$
Trade payables	46.5	28.0
Accrued liabilities	37.1	46.0
Employee benefits (note 20)	22.3	17.5
Other payables	4.5	18.1
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	110.4	109.6

Note 15 . Provisions

Provisions consist primarily of amounts recorded with respect to customer warranty obligations, terminations of sales agents and distributors, sales returns, and asset retirement obligations.

F- 34

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

The provision for warranty claims represents the present value of management’s best estimate of the future outflow of economic resources that will be required under the Company’s obligations for warranties under sale of goods, which may include repair or replacement of previously sold products. The estimate has been made on the basis of historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality and production.

The sales contract provision relates to management’s estimated cost of the departure of certain third-party dealers and distributors.

Sales returns relate primarily to goods sold through the Direct-to-Consumer sales channel which have a limited right of return (typically within 30 days), or exchange only, in certain jurisdictions. The return period is extended during the holiday shopping period to accommodate a higher volume of activity and purchases given as gifts.

. Long-term debt

Revolving facility

The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured asset-based revolving facility in the amount of $200.0 with an increase in commitments to $250.0 during the peak season (June 1 - November 30), a revolving credit commitment comprising a letter of credit commitment in the amount of $25.0 , with a $5.0 sub-commitment for letters of credit issued in a currency other than Canadian dollars, U.S. Dollars or Euros, and a swingline commitment for $25.0 . The revolving facility matures on June 3, 2021. Amounts owing under the revolving facility can be

F- 35

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

drawn in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, Euros or other currencies. Amounts owing under the revolving facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed for general corporate purposes.

The revolving facility has multiple interest rate charge options that are based on the Canadian prime rate, Bankers’ Acceptance rate, the lenders’ Alternate Base Rate, European Base Rate, LIBOR rate, or EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, with interest payable quarterly. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the revolving facility. The revolving facility contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds. At March 31, 2019 and during the year, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the revolving facility and related deferred financing charges in the amounts of $1.2 and $1.7 , respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities. The Company has unused borrowing capacity available under the revolving facility of $165.5 as at March 31, 2019 ( 2018 - $97.8 ).

As at March 31, 2019 , the Company had letters of credit outstanding under the revolving facility of $1.2 ( 2018 - $0.6 ).

Term loan

The Company has a senior secured loan agreement with a syndicate of lenders that is secured on a split collateral basis alongside the revolving facility , with an aggregate principal amount owing as at March 31, 2019 of $152.4 (US $113.8 ) ( 2018 - $146.6 (US $113.8 )). The term loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.00% payable quarterly or at the end of the then current interest period (whichever is earlier) in arrears, provided that LIBOR may not be less than 1.00% . The term loan matures on December 2, 2021. Amounts owing under the term loan may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, but once repaid may not be reborrowed. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the term loan. The term loan contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds. As at March 31, 2019 and during the year, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As the term loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company remeasures the outstanding balance and accrued interest at each balance sheet date.

The amount outstanding with respect to the term loan is as follows:



	2019		2018
	$		$
Term loan	152.4		146.6
Less unamortized portion of:
Original issue discount	(2.4	)	(3.1	)
Deferred financing fees	(0.9	)	(1.2	)
Embedded derivative	(0.5	)	(0.7	)
Revaluation for interest rate modification	(3.4	)	(4.5	)
	145.2		137.1

The Company recognized the fair value of the embedded derivative liability related to the interest rate floor of $1.4 at the inception of the term loan . The derivative will be remeasured at each reporting period and is included in other long-term liabilities. As at March 31, 2019 , the value is $0.1 ( 2018 - $0.2 ).

F- 36

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

On March 21, 2017, the Company prepaid $65.0 (US $48.8 ) of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. After the prepayment, the applicable margin decreased from 5.00% to 4.00% which gave rise to a decrease in the fair value of the term loan that is being amortized over the remaining term.

During the year ended March 31, 2018 , the term loan lenders syndicated their commitments under the loan agreement to a new group of lenders; the Company’s obligations under the loan agreement are substantially unchanged, and the syndication had no accounting impact. The Company incurred financing costs of $0.3 in connection with the syndication transaction, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the loan using the effective interest rate method.

Hedging transactions on term loan

On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into derivative transactions to hedge a portion of its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk related to its term loan liability denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company entered into a long-dated forward exchange contract to buy $75.0 , or $59.4 in equivalent U.S. dollars as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on term loan borrowings over the term to maturity (December 2, 2021). Unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of the forward contract are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

The Company also entered into a cross-currency swap by selling $50.0 , $40.0 in equivalent U.S. dollars, floating rate debt bearing interest at LIBOR plus 4.00% as measured on the trade date, and receiving $50.0 fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 5.80% . This cross-currency swap has been designated at inception and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge, and to the extent that the hedge is effective, unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income until reclassified to the statement of income as the hedged interest payments and principal repayments (or periodic remeasurements) impact net income.

Concurrently, the Company entered into a second cross-currency swap by selling the $50.0 fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 5.80% and receiving $50.0 , or €34.0 in equivalent Euro-denominated fixed rate debt bearing interest at a rate of 3.84% . This cross-currency swap has been designated and is accounted for as a hedge of the net investment in its European subsidiary. Hedges of net investments are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges, with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the period when the foreign operation is disposed of or sold.

The authorized and issued share capital of the Company is as follows:

Authorized

The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares without par value, an unlimited number of multiple voting shares without par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value, issuable in series.

Issued

Multiple voting shares - Holders of the multiple voting shares are entitled to 10 votes per multiple voting share. Multiple voting shares are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one subordinate voting share. The multiple voting shares will automatically be converted into subordinate voting shares when they cease to be owned by one of the principal shareholders. In addition, the multiple voting shares of either of the principal shareholders will automatically be converted to subordinate voting shares at such time as the beneficial ownership of that shareholder falls below 15% of the outstanding subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares outstanding, or additionally, in the case of DTR, when the President and Chief Executive Officer no longer serves as a director of the Company or in a senior management position.

Subordinate voting shares - Holders of the subordinate voting shares are entitled to one vote per subordinate voting share.

The rights of the subordinate voting shares and the multiple voting shares are substantially identical, except for voting and conversion. Subject to the prior rights of any preferred shares, the holders of subordinate and multiple voting shares participate equally in any dividends declared, and share equally in any distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution, or winding up.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the following share capital transactions were completed on December 2, 2016:


a)	The 53,144,000 outstanding Class A senior preferred shares were redeemed for their capital amount of $53.1 .


b)	The 3,426,892 outstanding Class A junior preferred shares were redeemed under their terms for their liquidity value of $4.1 . The excess of the redemption price paid over the stated capital amount for the shares of $0.4 has been charged to retained earnings.


c)	The Company subdivided the existing Class A and Class B common shares on the basis of 10,000,000 common shares for every share.


d)	A return of capital of $0.7 was paid on the Class A common shares.

As a result of the exchange, $56.9 was charged as a reduction of contributed surplus, and $6.7 was charged to retained earnings.

The Class D preferred shares were non-voting, redeemable by the Company, retractable by the holder, and were in preference and priority to any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to the holders of any other class of shares; accordingly, the redemption value of $63.6 was recorded as a financial liability. The Class D preferred shares were also pledged as collateral for the shareholder advance of $63.6 ; upon redemption or retraction of the Class

Note 18 . Share-based payments

The Company has issued stock options to purchase subordinate voting shares under its incentive plans, prior to the public share offering on March 21, 2017, the Legacy Plan, and subsequently, the Omnibus Plan. All options are issued at an exercise price that is not less than market value at the time of grant and expire ten years after the grant date.

Legacy Plan

Under the terms of the Legacy Plan, options were granted to certain employees of the Company which are exercisable to purchase subordinate voting shares. The options vest contingent upon meeting the service, performance goals and exit event conditions of the Legacy Plan.


a)	Service-vested options

Service-vested options are subject to the employee’s continuing employment and generally are scheduled to vest 40% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, 20% on the third anniversary, 20% on the fourth anniversary and 20% on the fifth anniversary.


b)	Performance-vested and exit event options

Performance-vested options that are tied to an exit event become eligible to vest pro rata on the same schedule as service-vested options, but do not vest until the exit event has occurred. An exit event is triggered based on a target realized rate of return on invested capital. Other performance-vested options vest based on measurable performance targets that do not involve an exit event. Performance-vested options are subject to the employee’s continued employment.

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

On each vesting date, service-vested options vest, and performance-vested exit event options become eligible to vest upon the occurrence of an exit event. The completion of the public share offering on March 21, 2017 and the secondary offering on July 5, 2017 each represent exit events such that options that were eligible to vest became vested. As of July 5, 2017, all exit event conditions have been met, and no outstanding options are subject to exit event conditions. No options will be issued under the Legacy Plan subsequent to the public share offering.

Omnibus Plan

Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, options are granted to certain employees of the Company which are exercisable to purchase subordinate voting shares. The options vest over four years contingent upon meeting the service conditions of the Omnibus Plan, 25% on each anniversary of the date of grant.

Stock option transactions are as follows:

Restricted share units

On July 5, 2018, the Company granted 10,650 RSUs, under the Omnibus Plan, to an employee of the Company. The RSUs are treated as equity instruments for accounting purposes. We expect that vested RSUs will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per RSU. The RSUs vest over a period of three years , a third on each anniversary of the date of grant. Fair value is determined based on the market value of the shares at the time of grant.

Subordinate voting shares, to a maximum of 6,668,247 shares, have been reserved for issuance under equity incentive plans to select employees of the Company, with vesting contingent upon meeting the service, performance goals and other conditions of the Plan.

Accounting for share-based awards

For the year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded $3.8 as contributed surplus and compensation expense for stock options and RSUs ( 2018 - $2.0 , 2017 - $3.3 ). In addition, cash compensation in the amount of $2.6 was paid to settle stock options cancelled on employee termination in the year ended March 31, 2017 . Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Note 22 . Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s primary risk management objective is to protect the Company’s assets and cash flow, in order to increase the Company’s enterprise value.

The Company is exposed to capital management risk, market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management and Board of Directors oversee the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below.

F- 48

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

Capital management

The Company manages its capital, which consists of equity (subordinate voting shares and multiple shares voting shares) and long-term debt (the revolving facility and the term loan), with the objectives of safeguarding sufficient net working capital ⁽¹⁾ over the annual operating cycle and providing sufficient financial resources to grow operations to meet long-term consumer demand. Management targets a ratio of trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ to net debt ⁽¹⁾ , and trailing twelve months net working capital to revenue, reflecting the seasonal borrowing requirements while net working capital builds through the second fiscal quarter. The Board of Directors monitors the Company’s capital management on a regular basis. The Company will continually assess the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and capacity and make adjustments within the context of the Company’s strategy, economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the business.


⁽¹⁾	Adjusted earnings before depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes, net working capital and net debt are non-IFRS measures.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily related to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under the revolving facility and the term loan. As at March 31, 2019 , the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the revolving facility. The amount outstanding under the term loan was $152.4 which currently bears interest at 6.50% . Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings under the revolving facility during the year-ended March 31, 2019 , a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings under the revolving facility would have increased interest expense by $0.6 ( 2018 - $0.6 ) in the period. Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the rate on the term loan would have increased interest expense by an additional $1.5 ( 2018 - $1.5 ). Interest rate risk on the term loan is partially mitigated by cross-currency swap hedges. The impact on future interest expense because of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of borrowings at that time.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues, inventory purchases and expenses are denominated in other currencies, principally U.S. dollars, Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars and Swedish krona. The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with revenues, purchases, and expenses denominated in these currencies. Beginning in fiscal 2017, certain forward foreign exchange contracts were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges with respect to expected activity in the 2018 fiscal year. The operating hedge programs for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 was initiated during the fourth quarter of the 2019 fiscal year.

During the year ended March 31, 2019 , an unrealized loss in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in the amount of $3.9 (net of tax recovery of $0.8 ) has been recorded in other comprehensive income ( 2018 - an unrealized loss of $1.4 net of tax recovery of $0.5 ). During the

F- 49

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

year ended March 31, 2019 , an unrealized gain of $3.7 ( 2018 - $0.1 ) on forward exchange contracts that are not treated as hedges has been recorded selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income. During the year ended March 31, 2019 , a gain of $4.5 was reclassified from other comprehensive income to selling, general and administrative expenses ( 2018 - a loss of $0.3 ). During the year ended March 31, 2019 , a loss of $6.5 was recorded in revenue and a gain of $1.0 was recorded in inventories.

Foreign currency contracts outstanding as at March 31, 2019 related to operating cash flows are:



(in millions)	Contract Amount		Primary Currency
Forward contract to purchase Canadian dollars	US$	155.0	U.S. dollars
Forward contract to purchase Canadian dollars	€	72.9	Euros

Forward contract to sell Canadian dollars	US$	65.9	U.S. dollars
Forward contract to sell Canadian dollars	€	32.7	Euros

Forward contract to purchase Euros	CHF	2.1	Swiss francs
	CNY	588.5	Chinese yuan
	£	16.0	British Pounds sterling
	HKD	121.6	Hong Kong dollar
	SEK	10.7	Swedish Krona

Forward contract to sell Euros	CHF	11.4	Swiss francs
Forward contract to sell Euros	£	1.0	British Pounds sterling

Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

Foreign exchange risk on long-term debt

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the amount owing on the revolving facility and the term loan that are denominated in U.S. dollars. A $0.01 increase (decrease) in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in a gain (loss) of $1.1 in income before taxes, based on the balances outstanding as at March 31, 2019 ( 2018 - $1.1 ). Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into derivative transactions to hedge a portion of its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk on principal and interest payments on its term loan liability denominated in U.S. dollars (note 16 ).

During the year ended March 31, 2019 , an unrealized gain of $2.9 in the fair value of the long-dated forward exchange contract related to a portion of the term loan balance has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income ( 2018 - unrealized gain of $0.3 ). An unrealized gain of $0.7 (net of tax expense of $0.2 ) on the cross-currency swap that is designated as a cash flow hedge has been recorded in other comprehensive income ( 2018 -

F- 50

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share data)

unrealized gain of $1.5 , net of tax expense of $0.5 ). An unrealized loss of $0.4 was reclassified from other comprehensive income to selling, general and administrative expenses ( 2018 - unrealized loss of $1.1 ).

During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company has recognized in other comprehensive income an unrealized gain of $3.5 (net of tax expense of $1.2 ) in the fair value of the Euro-denominated cross-currency swap that is designated as a hedge of the Company's net investment in its European subsidiary ( 2018 - unrealized loss of $3.5 , net of tax expense of $1.2 ).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that certain parties will be unable to discharge their obligations. The Company has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. The Company does not have any customers which account for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable. The Company has entered into an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 87.8% of accounts receivable from certain designated customers based on a total deductible of less than $0.1 , to a maximum of $30.0 per year. As at March 31, 2019 , accounts receivable totaling approximately $14.1 ( March 31, 2018 - $8.1 ) were insured under this agreement. In addition, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Customer deposits are received in advance from certain customers for seasonal orders, and applied to reduce accounts receivable when goods are shipped. Credit terms are normally sixty days for seasonal orders, and thirty days for re-orders.

The aging of trade receivables is as follows:



	Total		Past due
		Current	< 30 days	31-60 days	> 60 days
	$	$	$	$	$
Trade accounts receivable	19.7	12.9	4.7	0.5	1.6
Credit card receivables	1.6	1.6	—	—	—
March 31, 2019	21.3	14.5	4.7	0.5	1.6

Trade accounts receivable	9.7	4.3	2.8	1.0	1.6
Credit card receivables	3.0	3.0	—	—	—
March 31, 2018	12.7	7.3	2.8	1.0	1.6

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to satisfy the requirements for business operations, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes, under normal and stressed conditions. The primary source of liquidity is funds generated by operating activities; the Company also relies on the asset based revolving facility as a source of funds for short term working capital needs. The Company continuously reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows to ensure that the Company has appropriate capital capacity.
