2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

Interim Financial Statements

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") and other filings filed with the SEC.

The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the nine months ended March 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on June 29, 2019 ("fiscal 2019 ").

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Kate Spade distributor in Singapore and Malaysia. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Northern China, entered into an agreement to take operational control of the KS China Co., Limited and KS HMT Co., Limited joint ventures ("Kate Spade Joint Ventures") that operate in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in which the Company has 50% interest, and acquired designated assets of its Coach distributor in Australia and New Zealand. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company. The results of operations of each acquired entity have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the respective date of each acquisition.

Fiscal Periods

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2019 will be a 52-week period. Fiscal 2018 ended on June 30, 2018 and was also a 52-week period. The third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended on March 30, 2019 and the third quarter of fiscal 2018 ended on March 31, 2018 . These were 13-week periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for the realizability of inventory; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes (including the impacts of recently enacted tax legislation) and related uncertain tax positions; accounting for business combinations; the valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related expected forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring; and reserves for litigation and other contingencies, amongst others.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation. Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Company changed its expense reporting to more closely align with the organizational structure and management of the business. Accordingly, certain Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses that were reported within our reportable segments in fiscal 2018 are now reflected as Corporate expenses. Refer to Note 17, "Segment Information," for further information.

In addition, certain prior year costs related to compensation of the supply chain function for Kate Spade have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These costs amounted to $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and have been reclassified from SG&A expenses to Cost of sales within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers " ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers, and contains principles to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The model supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance, and also requires enhanced revenue-related disclosures. The FASB has also issued several related ASUs which provide additional implementation guidance and clarify the requirements of the model.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard did not result in a change to opening Retained earnings. Prior year comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Effects of adoption include balance sheet presentation changes including presentation of estimated returned products and refund liabilities on a gross basis, as well as an increase in deferred revenue related to current year licensing contract activity due to a change in the method of recognizing sales-based royalties. These balance sheet presentation changes resulted in an increase of $8.0 million to Other current assets, an increase of $5.4 million to Accrued liabilities and a decrease of $4.6 million to Accounts receivable as of March 30, 2019 . Furthermore, the adoption changed the income statement classification of certain items, primarily related to cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration provided to wholesale customers. The following table compares the reported results in fiscal 2019 under the new standard to the amounts that would have been reported if the standard had not been adopted:



	Three Months Ended March 30, 2019							Nine Months Ended March 30, 2019
	As Reported		Impact of Adoption			Balances Excluding Adoption		As Reported		Impact of Adoption			Balances Excluding Adoption
	(millions)
Net sales	$	1,331.4	$	(0.2	)	$	1,331.6	$	4,513.4	$	(3.9	)	$	4,517.3
Cost of sales	415.5		0.8			414.7		1,458.9		1.5			1,457.4
Gross profit	915.9		(1.0		)	916.9		3,054.5		(5.4		)	3,059.9
Selling, general and administrative expenses	810.1		(1.4		)	811.5		2,410.3		(3.4		)	2,413.7
Operating income	$	105.8	$	0.4		$	105.4	$	644.2	$	(2.0	)	$	646.2

For further information regarding revenue from contracts with customers, refer to Note 4, "Revenue."

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"). This ASU requires recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to a third party. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $20.2 million to its opening Retained earnings balance. Overall, the adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, " Leases (Topic 842), " which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies that enter into leasing arrangements. This ASU requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of existing impacted leases. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, with targeted improvements to the guidance including an additional transition method for the new standard. As a result, the new standard may be applied with a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period or with the initial application at the adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment in the opening balance of Retained earnings, with various optional practical expedients.

The Company is currently performing a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Assessment efforts to date have included reviewing the standard's provisions, gathering information to evaluate the landscape of arrangements that may meet the definition of a lease, collecting information from lease contracts, gathering information to assess for potential impairment of right-of-use-assets, evaluating accounting policy elections and updating internal controls over systems and financial reporting. The Company has selected a global software solution to manage and account for all leases, which is currently being implemented.

The Company anticipates it will elect the package of practical expedients intended to ease transition whereby the Company need not assess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also intends to elect the practical expedient to combine non-lease components and lease components. Furthermore, the Company has determined that it will apply the provisions of ASU 2018-11 with the initial application at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment in the opening balance of Retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company expects the guidance will result in a significant increase to long-term assets and liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and does not expect it to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's liquidity.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, " Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) " ("ASU 2018-13"), which is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value disclosures. The ASU removes or modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value information, as well as adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, however, does not expect a material impact resulting from this guidance.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, " Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) " ("ASU 2018-15"), which is intended to clarify the accounting for implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements which are deemed to be a service contract rather than a software license. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-15 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

4. REVENUE

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from sales of the products of its brands through retail and wholesale channels, including the Internet. The Company also generates revenue from royalties related to licensing its trademarks, as well as sales in ancillary channels. In all cases, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised products or services to the customer, which may be at a point in time or over time. Control is transferred when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, including estimation of sale terms that may create variability in the consideration. Revenue subject to variability is constrained to an amount which will not result in a significant reversal in future periods when the contingency that creates variability is resolved.

The Company recognizes revenue in its retail stores, including concession shop-in-shops, at the point-of-sale when the customer obtains physical possession of the products. Internet revenue from sales of products ordered through the Company's e-commerce sites is recognized upon delivery and receipt of the shipment by its customers and includes shipping and handling charges paid by customers. Retail and Internet revenues are recorded net of estimated returns, which are estimated by developing an expected value based on historical experience. Payment is due at the point of sale.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until redeemed by the customer, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company also uses historical information to estimate the amount of gift card balances that will never be redeemed and recognizes that amount as revenue over time in proportion to actual customer redemptions if the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction as unclaimed property.

The Company recognizes revenue within the wholesale channel at the time title passes and risk of loss is transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment of products but may occur upon receipt of the shipment by the customer in certain cases. Payment is generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimates for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration provided to the customer. Discounts are based on contract terms with the customer, while cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration may be based on contract terms or negotiated on a case by case basis. Returns and markdowns generally require approval from the Company and are estimated based on historical trends, current season results and inventory positions at the wholesale locations, current market and economic conditions as well as, in select cases, contractual terms. The Company's historical estimates of these variable amounts have not differed materially from actual results.

The Company recognizes licensing revenue over time during the contract period in which licensees are granted access to the Company's trademarks. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty and may include a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Revenue for contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amounts is recognized ratably over the license year and any excess sales-based royalties are recognized as earned once the minimum royalty threshold is achieved. Payments from the customer are generally due quarterly in an amount based on the licensee's sales of goods bearing the licensed trademarks during the period, which may differ from the amount of revenue recorded during the period thereby generating a contract asset or liability. Contract assets and liabilities and contract costs related to the licensing arrangements are immaterial as the licensing business represents approximately 1% of total net sales in the nine months ended March 30, 2019 .

The Company has elected a practical expedient not to disclose the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the period related to contracts with an original duration of one year or less and variable consideration related to sales-based royalty arrangements. There are no other contracts with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than future minimum royalties as discussed above, which are not material.

Other practical expedients elected by the Company include (i) assuming no significant financing component exists for any contract with a duration of one year or less, (ii) accounting for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity within SG&A expense regardless of the timing of the shipment in relation to the transfer of control and (iii) excluding sales and value added tax from the transaction price.

Additional deferred revenue may result from sales-based royalty payments received or receivable which exceed the revenue recognized during the contractual period. The balance of such amounts as of March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $29.7 million and $29.1 million , respectively, which were primarily recorded within Accrued liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within a year. For the nine months ended March 30, 2019 , net sales of $16.6 million were recognized from amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of June 30, 2018 .

6. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Operational Efficiency Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a plan (the “Operational Efficiency Plan”) to enhance organizational efficiency, update core technology platforms and optimize international supply chain and office locations. The Operational Efficiency Plan was adopted as a result of a strategic review of the Company’s corporate structure which focused on creating an agile and scalable business model.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company incurred charges of $2.9 million and $9.5 million , respectively, primarily due to technology infrastructure costs. Total cumulative charges incurred under the Operational Efficiency Plan were $87.4 million .

There were no remaining liabilities under the Company's Operational Efficiency Plan as of March 30, 2019 . The balance of $1.4 million as of June 30, 2018 is included within Accrued liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

7. ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2019 Acquisitions

Distributor Acquisitions

During the nine months ended March 30, 2019 , the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore.

The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisitions was $39.7 million , $39.4 million of which was cash consideration paid during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and the remaining is related to non-cash consideration. Of the total purchase consideration of $39.7 million , $18.6 million of net assets were recorded at their fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as non-tax deductible goodwill in the amount of $21.1 million , of which $8.4 million was assigned to the Stuart Weitzman segment and $12.7 million was assigned to the Kate Spade segment.

The purchase price allocation for these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is substantially complete, however may be subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period. The pro forma results are not presented for these acquisitions as they are immaterial.

Fiscal 2018 Acquisitions

Kate Spade and Company Acquisition

On July 11, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company for $18.50 per share for a total purchase price of $2.40 billion . As a result, Kate Spade became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The aggregate cash paid in connection with the acquisition of Kate Spade was $2.39 billion (or $2.32 billion net of cash acquired). Consideration also included $5.3 million as a result of the conversion of unvested equity awards held by Kate Spade employees. The Company funded the acquisition through cash on-hand, as well as debt proceeds. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for information regarding the Company's outstanding debt.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Kate Spade under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the cost was allocated to the underlying net assets based on their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which consists largely of the synergies expected from the acquisition.

Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	2,325.5		$	—		$	2,325.5

⁽¹⁾ Included a step-up adjustment of $67.5 million , which was amortized over 4 months .

⁽²⁾ The majority of the goodwill balance is not deductible for tax purposes.

⁽³⁾ The Company assigned $324.0 million of goodwill associated with the Kate Spade acquisition to Coach brand reporting units based upon the analysis of expected synergies, including the allocation of corporate synergies to the brands.

⁽⁴⁾ The brand intangible asset, of which the majority is not deductible for tax purposes, was valued based on the multi-period excess earnings method.

⁽⁵⁾ The components of other intangible assets included favorable lease rights of $72.2 million (amortized over the remainder of the underlying lease terms), customer relationships of $45.0 million (amortized over 15 years) and order backlog of $2.0 million (amortized over 6 months). Favorable lease rights were valued based on a comparison of market participant information and Company-specific lease terms. The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using the excess earnings method, which discounts the estimated after-tax cash flows associated with the existing base of customers as of the acquisition date, factoring in expected attrition of the existing base. The order backlog intangible asset was valued using the excess earnings method, which discounts the estimated after-tax cash flows associated with open customer orders as of the acquisition date.

⁽⁶⁾

The Company acquired $200.1 million of net deferred tax assets related to Kate Spade historical federal and state net operating losses, net of a $39.3 million valuation allowance, which the Company expects to be able to utilize. The deferred tax adjustments resulting from the step-up in basis of acquired assets, most notably the brand intangible asset, resulted in an overall deferred tax liability.


⁽⁷⁾	Included an adjustment for unfavorable lease rights of $49.5 million (amortized over the remainder of the underlying lease terms).

Distributor Acquisitions and Kate Spade Joint Ventures Operational Control

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Northern China, entered into an agreement to take operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures that operate in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in which the Company has 50% interest, and acquired designated assets of its Coach distributor in Australia and New Zealand.

The aggregate purchase consideration for the three acquisitions was $153.7 million , of which $106.9 million is cash consideration and the remaining is related to non-cash consideration. Of the cash consideration, $61.5 million (or $55.6 million net of cash acquired) was paid during fiscal 2018 and the remaining will be paid in the future. Of the total purchase consideration of $153.7 million , $50.0 million of net assets were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as non-tax deductible goodwill in the amount of $103.7 million . Of this amount, $52.8 million , $49.3 million and $1.6 million were assigned to the Company's Kate Spade, Stuart Weitzman and Coach segments, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, there were measurement period adjustments of $2.3 million and $0.5 million , related to the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman segments, respectively, which decreased Goodwill.

The purchase price allocation for these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is complete. The pro forma results are not presented for these acquisitions as they are immaterial.

⁽¹⁾	The ending balances of AOCI related to cash flow hedges are net of tax of $0.0 million and $1.6 million as of March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively. The amounts reclassified from AOCI are net of tax of ($1.5) million and ($1.7) million as of March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and any other potentially dilutive instruments, only in the periods in which such effects are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 30, 2019		March 31, 2018		March 30, 2019		March 31, 2018
	(millions, except per share data)
Net income	$	117.4	$	140.3	$	494.5	$	185.8

Weighted-average basic shares	290.0		286.2		289.5		284.7
Dilutive securities:
Effect of dilutive securities	0.9		3.9		1.7		3.1
Weighted-average diluted shares	290.9		290.1		291.2		287.8

Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.40	$	0.49	$	1.71	$	0.65
Diluted	$	0.40	$	0.48	$	1.70	$	0.65

Earnings per share amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share. In addition, the Company has outstanding restricted stock unit awards that are issuable only upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , there were 11.3 million and 4.2 million , respectively, of additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table shows the share-based compensation expense and the related tax benefits recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated:

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper back-up). Letters of credit and swing line loans may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as described below. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 30, 2019 .

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1% ) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid.

4.250% Senior Notes due 2025

On March 2, 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”).

The remaining lease obligations will be amortized through May 1, 2025.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not have any Level 3 investments.

The following table shows the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 :



	Level 1				Level 2

⁽¹⁾	Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Due to their short term maturity, management believes that their carrying value approximates fair value.


⁽²⁾	Short-term investments are recorded at fair value, which approximates their carrying value, and are primarily based upon quoted vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.


⁽³⁾	The fair value of these hedges is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.

Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt instruments.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering market participant assumptions. Refer to Note 7, "Acquisitions," for further discussion of the approaches used in valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

There were no material gross unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments as of the periods ended March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 .

15. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted. The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. tax code by (i) lowering the U.S federal statutory income tax rate, (ii) implementing a territorial tax system, (iii) imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"), (iv) requiring current inclusion of global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations in U.S. federal taxable income, (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provision, (vi) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property, (vii) enacting a beneficial rate to be applied against Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") and (viii) limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense, among other changes.

The Tax Legislation includes substantial changes to the taxation of foreign income, effectively converting the U.S. to a territorial income tax regime. Notable changes include that foreign earnings after December 31, 2017 will generally be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction. However, companies are subject to the BEAT and GILTI provisions, which would increase the Company's effective tax rate, and the FDII provision, which would decrease the effective tax rate. The Company has decided to account for GILTI in the period in which it is incurred and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019.

The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 30, 2019 was 18.6% as compared to 56.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to the decrease in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 28% in fiscal 2018 to 21% in fiscal 2019, as well as the impacts of the new guidance released in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. In addition, the Company recorded the effects of the Transition Tax in fiscal year 2018, which was a primary driver of the higher effective tax rate recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate recorded for the nine months ended March 30, 2019 was impacted unfavorably by the GILTI inclusion and favorably by the FDII deduction. During the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $2.8 million and $17.1 million , respectively, to Provision for income taxes related to the GILTI and FDII provisions.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded charges of $178.2 million within its income tax provision in connection with the Tax Legislation, of which $266.0 million related to the mandatory transition tax and $(87.8) million related to the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As of December 29, 2018, the Company completed the accounting for the enactment date income tax effects of the Tax Legislation under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, for the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and one-time transition tax. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, additional Transition Tax guidance was released by the U.S. Treasury which resulted in a $17.0 million reduction of total tax expense. The Company was also able to utilize net operating losses of approximately $94.0 million , resulting in a decrease to its liability of $26.3 million , as well as apply available unrelated foreign tax credits of $34.2 million to reduce the total tax liability. These actions combined resulted in decreased future tax payments as set forth below.

The following table presents the expected timing of income tax payments related to the Transition Tax expected to be recognized by the Company as of March 30, 2019:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit

The Company had standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees totaling $34.2 million and $35.1 million outstanding at March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. The agreements, which expire at various dates through calendar 2039, primarily collateralize the Company's obligation to third parties for duty, leases, insurance claims and materials used in product manufacturing. The Company pays certain fees with respect to these instruments that are issued.

Tax Legislation

The Tax Legislation requires the Company to pay a one-time tax, or Transition Tax, on previously unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company expects to pay the remaining $155.9 million related to the Transition Tax from fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2025. Refer to Note 15, "Income Taxes," for more information related to the impact of the Tax Legislation.

Other

The Company had other contractual cash obligations as of March 30, 2019 related to debt repayments. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company's general counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

17. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three reportable segments:


•	Coach - Includes global sales of Coach brand products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet and concession shop-in-shops, sales to wholesale customers and through independent third party distributors.


•	Kate Spade - Includes global sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers, through concession shop-in-shops and through independent third party distributors.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


•	Stuart Weitzman - Includes global sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products primarily through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers and through numerous independent third party distributors.

Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Company changed its expense reporting to more closely align with the organizational structure and management of the business. Accordingly, certain SG&A expenses that were previously reported within our reportable segments are now reflected in Corporate expense. The costs primarily relate to employee costs within shared functional groups.

The following table summarizes segment performance, including the recast required for fiscal 2018 as a result of the expense reporting change discussed above, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 :

⁽³⁾	Additions to long-lived assets for the reportable segments primarily includes store assets as well as assets that support a specific brand. Corporate additions include all other assets which include a combination of Corporate assets, as well as assets that may support all segments. As such, depreciation expense for these assets may be subsequently allocated to a reportable segment.

18. HEADQUARTERS TRANSACTIONS

Sublease Agreement

During the first quarter in fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a Sublease (the "Sublease"), as sublandlord, with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, a New York mutual insurance company ("Guardian"), as subtenant, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sublease to Guardian three floors of the Company's leased space at 10 Hudson Yards, New York, NY, consisting of approximately 148,813 square feet of office space. The term of the Sublease expires on June 29, 2036 (the "Expiration Date").

Guardian has agreed to pay monthly base rent to the Company of approximately $0.8 million from March 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and monthly base rent ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $1.3 million depending on the period from July 1, 2019 through the Expiration Date. In addition to monthly base rent, Guardian has agreed to pay to the Company Guardian’s proportionate share of increases in payments in lieu of taxes and taxes over the tax year commencing July 1, 2019, as well as Guardian’s proportionate share of increases in operating expenses over the operating year commencing January 1, 2019. Subject to certain customary conditions set forth in the Sublease, the Company has agreed to reimburse Guardian for certain subtenant improvements in an amount equal to $80.00 per rentable square foot, or approximately $11.9 million in the aggregate, subject to a deduction equal to $10.00 per rentable square foot, or approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate, for work previously performed by or on behalf of the Company.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 9, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $1.00 billion of its outstanding common stock. Pursuant to this program, purchases of the Company's common stock will be made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares of common stock will become authorized but unissued shares. These shares may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. In addition, the Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.


ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms "the Company," "Tapestry," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Tapestry, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries. References to "Coach," "Kate Spade," "kate spade new york" or "Stuart Weitzman" refer only to the identified brand.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Tapestry is a leading New York-based house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands. Tapestry is powered by optimism, innovation and inclusivity. Our brands are approachable and inviting and create joy every day for people around the world. Defined by quality, craftsmanship and creativity, the brands that make up our house give global audiences the opportunity for exploration and self-expression. Tapestry is comprised of the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands, all of which have been part of the American landscape for over 25 years.

The Company has three reportable segments:


•	Coach - Includes global sales of Coach brand products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet and concession shop-in-shops, sales to wholesale customers and through independent third party distributors.


•	Kate Spade - Includes global sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers, through concession shop-in-shops and through independent third party distributors.


•	Stuart Weitzman - Includes global sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products primarily through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers and through numerous independent third party distributors.

Each of our brands are unique and independent, while sharing a commitment to innovation and authenticity defined by distinctive products and differentiated customer experiences across channels and geographies. Our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel, geographic area or brand.

Fiscal 2019 Strategic Initiatives

The Company's focus first and foremost is on execution in fiscal 2019, while making the right strategic investments to support our long-term vision. Specifically, in fiscal 2019, the Company intends to:

• Capture the full benefit of a multi-brand structure and synergies

• Fuel brand innovation by accelerating product newness across all brands

• Drive global growth with an emphasis on the Chinese consumer

• Advance our digital and data analytic capabilities

Recent Developments

Enterprise Resource Management ("ERP") Implementation

During fiscal 2018, the Company implemented a global consolidation system which provides a common platform for financial reporting, a point-of-sale system for Coach in North America as well as a human resource information system for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance and accounting systems for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance, accounting, supply chain and human resource information systems for Kate Spade. The ERP implementation is expected to be substantially completed in fiscal 2019, with the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman to follow at the beginning of fiscal 2020.

Stuart Weitzman Production Challenges

Stuart Weitzman results continued to be negatively impacted by the trailing impacts of the supply chain operational challenges which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, including production delays which caused lower than expected sales, as the brand was not prepared for the level of complexity and new development as it transitioned to a new creative vision. The Company has addressed these challenges through investment in talent, as well as added infrastructure and manufacturing capacity. As a result of these investments, the Company returned to sales growth in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2019.

Impact of Tax Legislation

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted. The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. tax code by (i) lowering the U.S federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) implementing a territorial tax system, (iii) imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"), (iv) requiring current inclusion of global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations in U.S. federal taxable income, (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), (vi) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property, (vii) enacting a beneficial rate to be applied against Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") and (viii) limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense, among other changes. Notable changes include the following:

•

Foreign earnings that generated after December 31, 2017 will generally be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction, however companies may be subject to the alternative BEAT and GILTI tax regimes which could increase the global effective tax rate. Conversely, companies may be eligible for a reduced rate to the extent their earnings qualify as FDII, which would reduce their global effective tax rate. Of these tax provisions, the GILTI and FDII provisions have impacted the Company in fiscal year 2019, with GILTI being the most impactful of the two. The Company does not anticipate any impact under the BEAT provision. Under GILTI, a portion of the Company’s foreign earnings will be subject to U.S. taxation. For companies subject to GILTI, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has indicated that companies are allowed to record tax associated with GILTI as a period cost in the period the earnings are included on the U.S. tax return. The Company has chosen to adopt this policy.

•

The Tax Legislation includes what many believe is an unintended consequence that results in certain leasehold improvements being ineligible for bonus depreciation. The Company has estimated fiscal year 2019 depreciation expense based on how the law was drafted, with no consideration of the perceived legislative intent. The Company has estimated its capital expenditures by class to estimate depreciation expense for purposes of calculating the rate change adjustment of our deferred tax balance. If tax legislation for Qualified Improvement Property ("QIP") is adjusted in fiscal 2019 or beyond, it will impact the rate change adjustment, which in turn will impact the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate in the year the legislation is revised.

•

At this time, it is unknown whether certain U.S. states in which the Company operates will conform to the Tax Legislation or adopt an alternative regime. The Company continues to monitor developments; at this time all material aspects of its provision for income tax for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019 are recorded based on recent guidance or its historical approach to state tax expense.

•

The Company applied the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 when accounting for the enactment-date of the Tax Legislation for the twelve-month period following the date of enactment. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2019 ending December 29, 2019, the Company completed the accounting for the enactment date income tax effects of the Tax Legislation pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, for the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and one-time transition tax. The amounts recorded were further adjusted due to additional guidance released during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The amounts recorded are subject to adjustment as future regulations or additional guidance becomes available.

Integration and Acquisition Costs

During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of certain distributors for the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands. During fiscal 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company, certain distributors for the Coach and Stuart Weitzman brands and obtained operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures. The operating results of the respective entities have been consolidated in the Company's operating results commencing on the date of each acquisition. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company incurred charges related to the integration and acquisition of the businesses. These charges are primarily associated with organization-related expenses, purchase price accounting adjustments, acquisition costs, contractual payments, professional fees and asset write-offs. The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $25-35 million in pre-tax charges, of which the majority are expected to be cash charges, for the remainder of fiscal 2019.

Refer to Note 5, "Integration and Acquisition Costs," Note 7, "Acquisitions," and the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.

Operational Efficiency Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a series of operational efficiency initiatives focused on creating an agile and scalable business model (the "Operational Efficiency Plan"). The significant majority of the charges under this plan were recorded within Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. These charges were associated with organizational efficiencies, primarily related to the reduction of corporate staffing levels globally, as well as accelerated depreciation, mainly associated with information systems retirement, technology infrastructure charges related to the initial costs

of replacing and updating our core technology platforms, and international supply chain and office location optimization. Total cumulative charges incurred under the Operational Efficiency Plan were $87.4 million. The plan was concluded in fiscal 2018.

Refer to Note 6, "Restructuring Activities," and the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.

Current Trends and Outlook

The environment in which we operate is subject to a number of different factors driving global consumer spending. Consumer preferences, macroeconomic conditions, foreign currency fluctuations and geopolitical events continue to impact overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items, with inconsistent patterns across channels and geographies.

Global consumer retail traffic trends remain under pressure. This, along with other factors, has led to a more promotional environment in the fragmented retail industry due to increased competition and a desire to offset traffic declines with increased levels of conversion. Further declines in traffic could result in store impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value.

Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, observed that global expansion is slowing at a rate that is somewhat faster than expected. These organizations expect continued softening of the growth rates in the United States throughout the next two years, and also observed challenging economic growth across markets around the globe recently. As a result, the current global outlook remains uncertain. It is still too early to understand what kind of sustained impact these trends or changes in trade agreements and tax legislation will have on consumer discretionary spending.

Risk of volatility or a worsening of the macroeconomic environment remains due to political uncertainty and potential changes to international trade agreements. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Trump Administration began to impose duties of 10% related to certain Chinese-made imported products. On May 5, 2019, President Trump announced an increase to the tariffs currently being imposed on these imports from 10% to 25%, effective May 10, 2019. Certain of the Company's offerings are impacted by these tariffs, however the Company believes that there will be minimal impact given the diversity of its sourcing activities. Additionally, on May 5, 2019, President Trump raised the possibility of adding a 25% punitive tariff to other categories of U.S. imports from China, which may have a more significant impact on the results of the Company if enacted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating and monitoring this development. Continued increases in trade tensions could impact the Company's ability to grow its business with the Chinese consumer globally.

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company noted volatility in the spending patterns of certain North American customers, believed to be resellers, in advance of changes in Chinese e-commerce laws effective January 1, 2019. The volatility experienced during this period may continue in the near-term. The Company also observed an acceleration in local customer demand in China which has helped to partially offset this trend.

Additional macroeconomic impacts include but are not limited to the United Kingdom ("U.K.") voting to leave the European Union ("E.U."), commonly known as "Brexit." On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty formally starting negotiations with the E.U. The U.K. and E.U. announced in March 2018 an agreement in principle to transitional provisions under which E.U. law would remain in force in the U.K. for an agreed period, but this remains subject to the successful conclusion of a final withdrawal agreement between the parties and the ratification by U.K. parliament. As of the date of this report, the withdrawal agreement has been voted against three times by U.K. parliament. As a consequence, the E.U. and U.K. agreed to postpone Brexit until October 31, 2019. This date will be accelerated to (i) June 1, 2019 should the U.K. not participate in the E.U. elections (in which case, the U.K. would leave without a deal), or (ii) anytime between now and October 31, 2019 if a withdrawal agreement is concluded between the parties and ratified by U.K. parliament. In the absence of such a withdrawal agreement there would be no transitional provisions and a "hard" Brexit would occur on either June 1 or October 31, 2019, resulting in potential increased legal and regulatory complexities and divergent laws between the U.K. and the E.U.

We will continue to monitor these trends and evaluate and adjust our operating strategies and cost management opportunities to mitigate the related impact on our results of operations, while remaining focused on the long-term growth of our business and protecting the value of our brands.

For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 .

Tapestry, Inc. Summary – Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019

Currency Fluctuation Effects

The change in net sales and gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 has been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects.

Net Sales

Excluding the effects of foreign currency, the net sales increase was driven by Kate Spade, Coach and Stuart Weitzman.

Gross Profit

Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was 68.8% as compared to 68.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $5.0 million and $4.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 , respectively, as discussed in the "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" herein, gross profit increased 1.0% or $9.2 million to $920.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 , and gross margin increased to 69.2% from 68.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . This increase in gross profit was driven by an increase in Kate Spade of $10.2 million , partially offset by declines in Coach of $0.6 million and Stuart Weitzman of $0.4 million .

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes inbound product-related transportation costs from our service providers within Cost of sales. The Company, similar to some companies, includes certain transportation-related costs due to our distribution network in SG&A expenses rather than in Cost of sales; for this reason, our gross margins may not be comparable to that of entities that include all costs related to their distribution network in Cost of sales.

SG&A expenses increased 8.2% or $61.5 million to $810.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $748.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 60.8% during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 56.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $30.3 million and $21.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 , respectively, SG&A expenses increased 7.2% or $52.4 million to $ 779.8 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . This increase was primarily due to increases in Kate Spade of $19.6 million , Corporate expenses of $18.6 million , Stuart Weitzman of $8.2 million and Coach of $6.0 million . SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 58.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from 55.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 .

Corporate expenses, which are included within SG&A expenses discussed above but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased 35.7% or $33.1 million to $126.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $93.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $21.7 million and $7.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 , respectively, SG&A expenses increased 21.7% or $18.6 million to $104.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $85.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . This increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by ongoing expenses as a result of the new system implementations and higher employee related costs including compensation.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased 33.4% or $53.2 million to $105.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $159.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Operating margin was 7.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 12.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $35.3 million and $25.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 , respectively, operating income decreased 23.3% or $43.2 million to $141.1 million from $184.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 ; and operating margin decreased 330 basis points to 10.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 13.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by decreases within Kate Spade of $9.4 million , Stuart Weitzman of $8.6 million and Coach of $6.6 million and an increase in Corporate expenses of $18.6 million .

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased 36.8% or $6.3 million to $10.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $16.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . The decrease in net interest expense is due to repayments made in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the Company's debt borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was (23.4)% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 1.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Additional guidance was released by the U.S. Treasury this quarter which resulted in the reduction of the tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, the effective tax rate was 6.8% in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to 5.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to geographical mix of earnings.

Net Income

Net income decreased $22.9 million to $117.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $140.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income decreased 22.9% or $36.2 million to $121.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $157.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to lower operating income, partially offset by lower interest expense, net and lower income taxes.

Net Income per Share

Net income per diluted share decreased to $0.40 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $0.48 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income per diluted share decreased 23.1% or $0.12 to $0.42 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from $0.54 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to lower net income.

Segment Performance - Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019

The following tables summarize results of operations by reportable segment for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . All percentages shown in the tables below and the discussion that follows have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

These increases were partially offset by a decline in North America comparable store sales. In addition, there was an increase in non-comparable stores of $5.3 million primarily driven by Greater China and Other Asia, partially offset by declines in North America.

Coach Gross Profit increased $0.4 million to $691.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from $691.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 .

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 5.2% or $13.9 million . This increase was primarily due to an increase in non-comparable store sales of $25.3 million due to new store openings in North America, China, Japan and Europe, as well as the direct ownership of the businesses in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. This increase was partially offset by a decline in wholesale sales of $6.5 million and a decline in comparable store sales of $6.7 million or 3%. Comparable store sales included a benefit of approximately 7% driven by an increase in global e-commerce. The decrease in comparable store sales was primarily due to conversion and traffic.

in the retail business of $9.6 million, primarily due to the direct ownership of the businesses in China, partially offset by lower comparable store sales.

The change in net sales and gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 has been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects.

Net Sales

Net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased 2.7% or $117.1 million to $4.51 billion . Excluding the effects of foreign currency, net sales increased by 3.6% or $157.0 million . Excluding the effects of foreign currency, the net sales increase was driven by Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 7.3% or $207.8 million to $3.05 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $2.85 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was 67.7% as compared to 64.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $9.1 million and $110.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 , respectively, as discussed in the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" herein, gross profit increased 3.6% or $106.0 million to $3.06 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , and gross margin increased to 67.9% from 67.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . This increase in gross profit is primarily driven by increases in Coach of $63.1 million and Kate Spade of $54.4 million , partially offset by a decline of $11.5 million in Stuart W eitzman.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased 2.0% or $47.2 million to $2.41 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $2.36 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 53.4% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 53.8% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $71.3 million and $169.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 , respectively, SG&A expenses increased 6.6% or $145.8 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . This increase is primarily due to increases in Kate Spade of $56.0 million , Coach of $34.6 million , Corporate of $30.1 million and Stuart Weitzman of $25.1 million . SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 51.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from 49.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

Corporate expenses, which are included within SG&A expenses discussed above but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased 5.6% or $17.0 million to $324.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $307.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $43.5 million and $56.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 , respectively, SG&A expenses increased by 12.1% or $30.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . This increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by ongoing system expenses as a result of the new system implementations, as well as higher employee related costs including compensation.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 33.2% or $160.6 million to $644.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $483.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Operating margin was 14.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 11.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $80.4 million and $280.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 , respectively, operating income de creased 5.2% or $39.8 million to $724.6 million from $764.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 ; and operating margin was 16.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 17.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The de crease in operating income is driven by a decrease in Stuart Weitzman operating income of $36.6 million , an increase in Corporate expense of $30.1 million , and a decrease in Kate Spade operating income of $1.6 million , offset by growth in Coach of $28.5 million .

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased 37.9% or $22.7 million to $36.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $59.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The decrease in net interest expense is due to debt repayments made in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 18.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 56.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, the effective tax rate was 16.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 17.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Tax Legislation, which lowered the U.S. federal statutory income tax, partially offset by the impact of the GILTI provision.

Net Income

Net income increased $308.7 million to $494.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $185.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income decreased 1.8% or $10.5 million to $573.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $583.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . This decrease was due to lower operating income partially offset by lower net interest expense and reduced provision for income tax.

Net Income per Share

Net income per diluted share increased to $1.70 in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $0.65 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income per diluted share decreased 3.0% to $1.97 in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $2.03 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , due to lower net income, as well as an increase in shares outstanding.

Coach Net Sales increased 1.7% or $51.7 million to $3.17 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 2.6% or $82.7 million . Comparable store sales for Coach increased

$48.1 million or 2% as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , including a benefit of approximately 1% driven by an increase in global e-commerce. The increase in comparable store sales is primarily due to increases in Other Asia, including Japan, Greater China, Europe and North America due to traffic and to a lesser extent conversion. Non-comparable store sales increased by $37.3 million, primarily driven by the direct ownership of the business in Australia and New Zealand, as well as non-comparable store sales in Greater China and Europe, partially offset by a decrease in Japan and North America.

Coach Gross Profit increased 2.9% or $62.1 million to $2.23 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $2.17 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

Excluding the impact of foreign currency in both periods, gross margin increased 40 basis points. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved product costing, partially offset by promotional activity.

Coach SG&A Expenses increased 3.0% or $39.9 million to $1.38 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $1.34 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 43.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 43.0% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $5.5 million and $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 , respectively, SG&A expenses increased 2.6% or $34.6 million to $1.38 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 ; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 43.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from 43.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The $34.6 million increase is primarily due to higher compensation expenses, marketing expenses and higher store-related costs.

Coach Operating Income increased 2.7% or $22.2 million to $848.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , resulting in an operating margin of 26.7% , as compared to $826.7 million and 26.5% , respectively in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, Coach operating income increased 3.5% or $28.5 million to $856.4 million from $827.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 ; and operating margin was 27.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 26.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The increase in operating income was due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Kate Spade Net Sales increased 6.4% or $62.1 million to $1.03 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 6.9% or $67.4 million . This increase was due to an increase in non-comparable stores sales of $152.6 million which benefited from new store openings in North America, Japan and Europe, taking operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures in mainland China and the direct ownership of the businesses in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, as well as the additional days under Tapestry ownership in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 when compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decline in comparable store sales of $57.2 million or 8%, including a benefit of approximately 3% driven by an increase in global e-commerce. The decrease in comparable store sales was primarily due to decreased traffic and conversion. In addition, there was a decline in wholesale sales of $35.8 million primarily due to the strategic pullback in wholesale disposition and lower wholesale sales in North America.

Kate Spade Gross Profit increased 30.9% or $155.4 million to $658.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $502.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Gross margin increased 11.9% to 63.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from 51.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges of $5.4 million and $106.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 respectively, Kate Spade gross profit increased 8.9% or $54.4 million to $663.4 million from $609.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , and gross margin increased 150 basis points to 64.1% from 62.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The gross margin increase of 150 basis points was

primarily due to improved product costing as a result of synergies, partially offset by promotional activity primarily within the Outlet channel.

Kate Spade SG&A Expenses decreased 7.3% or $40.5 million to $517.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $558.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 50.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 57.4% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

This increase was due to taking operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures in mainland China and the direct ownership of the businesses in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, additional store-related costs as a result of new store openings, as well as the additional days under Tapestry ownership in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Kate Spade Operating Income increased $195.9 million to $140.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , resulting in an operating margin of 13.5% , as compared to an operating loss of $55.8 million and (5.8)% , respectively in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . Excluding non-GAAP charges, Kate Spade operating income decreased 1.0% or $1.6 million to $155.6 million from $157.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 ; and operating margin was 15.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to 16.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . The decrease in operating income was due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Stuart Weitzman Net Sales increased 1.1% or $3.3 million to $304.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 2.3% or $6.9 million. This increase was primarily due to higher sales in the retail business of $26.4 million, primarily due to the direct ownership of the businesses in China and new store openings, partially offset by comparable store sales. This increase was partially offset by a decline in wholesale sales of $19.1 million primarily due to trailing impacts as a result of supply chain operational challenges.

Stuart Weitzman Gross Profit decreased 5.6% or $9.7 million to $165.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $174.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

The year over year change in gross margin was negatively impacted by foreign currency rates of 240 basis points, primarily due to the Euro. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, there was a decrease in gross margin of 200 basis points primarily due to lower wholesale margins from the trailing impacts as a result of supply chain operational challenges, partially offset by the direct ownership of the businesses in China.

Stuart Weitzman SG&A Expenses increased 19.8% or $30.8 million to $185.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $155.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

The decrease was due to an increase in SG&A expenses and a decrease in gross profit.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The reported gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, provision for income taxes, net income and earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 reflect certain items, including the impact of the ERP Implementation in fiscal 2019, Integration and Acquisition costs for acquired companies by Tapestry, the impact of Tax Legislation and the Operational Efficiency Plan. As a supplement to the Company's reported results, these metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the impact of these items, along with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Comparable store sales, which is a non-GAAP measure, reflects sales performance at stores that have been open for at least 12 months, and includes sales from the Internet. In certain instances, orders placed via the Internet are fulfilled by a physical store; such sales are recorded by the physical store. The Company excludes new, including newly acquired locations, from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operation. The Company excludes closed stores from the calculation. Comparable store sales have not been adjusted for store expansions. Comparable store sales for Kate Spade have been calculated beginning on the acquisition date.

These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s internal management reporting excluded these items. In addition, the human resources committee of the Company’s Board uses these non-GAAP measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.

The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues and profit. Accordingly, certain material increases and decreases in operating results for the Company and its segments have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects. These effects occur from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars and comparing to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency revenue results by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year period's currency conversion rate.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, we believe presenting certain increases and decreases in constant currency provides a framework for assessing the performance of the Company's business outside the United States and helps investors and analysts understand the effect of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations. We believe excluding these items assists investors and others in developing expectations of future performance.

By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

For a detailed discussion on these non-GAAP measures, see Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $168.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to a decrease of $1.64 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , as discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $15.7 million due to higher net income of $308.7 million , partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $267.3 million and lower non-cash adjustments of $25.7 million .

The $267.3 million decrease in changes in operating asset and liability balances was primarily driven by the following:


•	Other liabilities were a use of cash of $61.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to a source of cash of $168.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily related to the timing of tax payments.


•	Inventories were a use of cash of $123.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to a source of cash of $12.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily driven by higher in-transit inventory.


•	Other assets were a use of cash of $54.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to a use of cash of $18.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily related to the timing of tax payments.


•	Accounts receivable were a source of cash of $50.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to a source of cash of $78.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily driven by timing of wholesale shipments.


•	Accounts payable was a use of cash of $43.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to a use of cash of $136.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily driven by the timing of payments by Kate Spade, Coach and Stuart Weitzman.


•	Accrued liabilities were a source of cash of $28.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to a use of cash of $40.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , primarily driven by the timing of payments related to operating liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $477.7 million as compared to a use of cash of $2.08 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , resulting in a $ 1.60 billion decrease in net cash used in investing activities.

The $477.7 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 is primarily due to net cash used for purchases, maturities and sales of investments of $254.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and capital expenditures of $184.2 million .

The $2.08 billion use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 is primarily due to the $2.37 billion purchase of Kate Spade, net of cash acquired, partially offset by the impact of net cash proceeds from purchases, maturities and sales of investments of $478.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 .

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $287.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to a use of cash of $158.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 , resulting in a net decrease in cash of $128.9 million .

The $287.3 million of cash used in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily due to dividend payments of $292.8 million .

The $158.4 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was primarily due to dividend payments of $287.1 million , partially offset by proceeds from share-based awards of $159.9 million .

As of March 30, 2019 , approximately 74% of our cash and short-term investments were held outside the United States. Before the Tax Legislation, the Company considered the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes on these earnings. In fiscal 2018, we analyzed our global working capital and cash requirements, and the potential tax liabilities associated with repatriation, and determined that we will likely repatriate some portion of available foreign cash in the foreseeable future. See Note 15, "Income Taxes," for more information.

⁽²⁾

In May 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank 47 market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 30, 2019 . Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.

⁽³⁾ In March 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Furthermore, on June 20, 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505% of par (the "2022 Senior Notes"), and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2027 at 99.858% of par (the "2027 Senior Notes"). Furthermore, the indentures for the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes contain certain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) merge, or consolidate or transfer, sell or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of March 30, 2019 , no known events of default have occurred. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.

We believe that our Revolving Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentrations in any one financial institution. As of March 30, 2019 , there were 13 financial institutions participating in the Revolving Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 13%. We have no reason at this time to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the facility in the event we elect to draw funds in the foreseeable future.

We have the ability to draw on our credit facilities or access other sources of financing options available to us in the credit and capital markets for, among other things, our restructuring initiatives, acquisition or integration-related costs, settlement of a material contingency, or a material adverse business or macroeconomic development, as well as for other general corporate business purposes.

Management believes that cash flows from operations, access to the credit and capital markets and our credit lines, on-hand cash and cash equivalents and our investments will provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, our plans for acquisitions, further business expansion and restructuring-related initiatives. Future events, such as acquisitions or joint ventures, and other similar transactions may require additional capital. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources. The Company expects total fiscal 2019 capital expenditures to be in the range of $300 to $325 million.

Seasonality

The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we build inventory for the holiday selling season. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as we generate higher net sales and operating income, especially during the holiday months of November and December. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales, operating income and operating cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of that expected for the full fiscal 2019 . However, fluctuations in net sales, operating income and operating cash flows of the Company in any fiscal quarter may be affected by the timing of wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales, including adverse weather conditions or other macroeconomic events.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2018 10-K. Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our fiscal 2018 10-K. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted new revenue accounting guidance which resulted in certain changes to our accounting policies. Refer to Note 4, "Revenue," for additional information about our accounting policies and estimates. As of March 30, 2019 , there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies other than the changes mentioned above.

The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill as well as brand intangibles during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2018 as the fair values of the Coach and Kate Spade brand reporting units and the Kate Spade indefinite-lived brand intangible significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. The fair values of the Stuart Weitzman brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand exceeded their respective carrying values by approximately 15% and 90%. Several factors could impact the Stuart Weitzman brand's ability to achieve future cash flows, including uncertainty around global macroeconomic conditions as well as trade tensions that may present challenges in growing our business with the Chinese consumer globally, the management of trailing impacts as a result of the supply chain operational challenges at Stuart Weitzman, the success of international expansion strategies, the optimization of the store fleet productivity, the simplification of certain corporate overhead structures and other initiatives aimed at expanding higher performing categories of the business. While there was no impairment recorded in the three-month period ended March 30, 2019 , given the relatively small excess of fair value over carrying value as noted above, if profitability trends continue to decline during fiscal 2019 from those that are expected or if there is a significant adverse change in the business climate, it is possible that an interim test or our annual impairment test could result in an impairment of these assets.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with the Company's risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

The quantitative disclosures in the following discussion are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our foreign currency exchange risk is limited. The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its operating subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar and Euro denominated inventory purchases. To mitigate such risk, certain subsidiaries enter into forward currency contracts. As of March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $385.1 million and $257.4 million , respectively, were outstanding. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to the derivative instruments will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into derivative contracts with carefully selected financial institutions. The Company also reviews the creditworthiness of our counterparties on a regular basis. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to any undue concentration of counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts as of March 30, 2019 .

The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which are not long term in investment nature. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Japanese Yen, the Euro, the Australian dollar, the Chinese Renminbi and the Singapore dollar. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these loans, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans were $95.0 million and $160.7 million , respectively.

The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $2.9 million and $6.0 million , respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $5.3 million and $2.4 million , respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility entered into under the credit agreement dated May 30, 2017, the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes") and investments.

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the Senior Notes. At March 30, 2019 , the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $605 million , $395 million and $575 million , respectively. At June 30, 2018 , the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $593 million , $389 million and $574 million , respectively. These fair values are based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate payable on the 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement furnished with the SEC on June 7, 2017), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes of such series.

The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which defines our investment principles including credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 30, 2019 .

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed the first phase of its ERP implementation, SAP’s S4/HANA, migrating the global finance functions for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. The finance and supply chain functions were implemented for Kate Spade during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, with the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman to follow in early fiscal 2020. As a result of the implementations to date, there were certain changes to processes and procedures, which resulted in changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The implementation of SAP’s S4/HANA is expected to strengthen the financial controls by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across the organization. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the internal controls over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. Other than the ERP system implementation noted above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Tapestry's intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the Company’s control, and litigation with present or former employees.

As part of Tapestry’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Company files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Tapestry may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Tapestry’s intellectual properties.

Although the Company’s litigation as a defendant is routine and incidental to the conduct of Tapestry’s business, as well as for any business of its size, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages.

The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Tapestry’s business or consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not entered into any transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. Accordingly, we have not been required to pay a penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.


ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company did not repurchase any shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 . As of March 30, 2019 , the Company had zero availability remaining in the stock repurchase program.


ITEM 4.	MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
