shares issued and i149,425,612 outstanding at March 28, 2020
The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on December 13, 2002 as Michael Kors Holdings Limited and changed its name to Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) on December 31, 2018. The Company is a holding company that owns brands that are leading designers, marketers, distributors and retailers of branded women’s and men’s accessories, apparel and footwear bearing the Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors tradenames and related trademarks and
logos. The Company operates in ithree reportable segments: Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors. See Note 16 for additional information.
iThe
interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements as of December 26, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 are unaudited. The Company consolidates the results of its Versace business
on a one-month lag, as consistent with prior periods. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 28, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2020, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results
to be expected for the full fiscal year.
iThe Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year and the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to that 52-week or 53-week period. The results for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 are based on 13-week and 39-week periods, respectively. The
Company’s Fiscal Year 2021 is a 52-week period ending March 27, 2021.
2. iSummary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
iThe
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, sales discounts and credit losses, estimates of inventory net realizable value, the valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of deferred taxes and the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, along with the estimated useful lives assigned to these assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Seasonality
iThe Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business.The Company generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during its first fiscal quarter.
Inventories, net
iInventories
primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process inventory. The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $i25 million and $i27
million, respectively, as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020./
8
The net realizable value of the Company’s inventory as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020 includes the expected adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the impact from temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, reductions in retail store traffic, a decline
in international tourism and a decrease in consumer consumption.
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative
instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.
The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including a description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency loss (gain) in the
Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to the purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company
only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than i12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction
they are intended to hedge.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between its U.S. Dollars and these foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” and has designated these contracts
as net investment hedges. The net gain or (loss) on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense in the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to
hedge the variability of its cash flows resulting from floating interest rates on the Company’s borrowings. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
/
Leases
iOn
March 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. The Company adopted the new standard recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.
9
The
Company leases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to i10 years, generally require a fixed annual rent and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the
Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through November 2024. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its restructuring activities, as discussed in Note 8. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.
The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, based on the present value of fixed
lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the leases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the
Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company generally does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes
operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single
lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of non-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the
Company recorded sublease income of $i1 million and $i4 million, respectively, and $i2
million and $i5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, within selling, general and administrative expenses. During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company recorded $i13
million and $i37 million, respectively, of rent concessions negotiated in connection with the impact of COVID-19 as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract, and these concessions are recorded as a reduction to variable lease expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net
Income per Share
iThe Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and restricted share units ("RSUs"), were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securities are included
in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are included as diluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
i
Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
On March 29, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has subsequently issued several updates to the standard, providing additional guidance on certain topics covered by the standard. This update requires entities to recognize an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model, taking into consideration historical experience, current conditions and supportable forecasts that impact collectibility. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Implementation Costs Associated with Cloud Computing Arrangements
On March 29, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"), which provides guidance related to the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract.
The guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs
11
incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.
3. iRevenue Recognition
i
The
Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectibility of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services.
The
Company sells its products through ithree primary channels of distribution: retail, wholesale and licensing. Within the retail and wholesale channels, substantially all of the Company’s revenues consist of sales of products that represent a single performance obligation, where control transfers at a point in time to the customer. For licensing arrangements, royalty and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on access provided to the
Company’s trademarks.
Retail
The Company generates sales through directly operated stores and e-commerce sites throughout the Americas (U.S., Canada and Latin America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia, including Australia.
Gift Cards.The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed for merchandise, resulting in a contract liability upon issuance. Revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed or upon “breakage” for the estimated portion of gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed. “Breakage”
revenue is calculated under the proportional redemption methodology, which considers the historical patterns of redemption in jurisdictions where the Company is not required to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards as unclaimed property. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage”, of $i13 million and $i11
million as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, respectively, is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Loyalty Program. The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors U.S. customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of
the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage”, of $ii2/
million as of both December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be recognized within the next 12 months.
Wholesale
The Company’s products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Company also has arrangements where its products are sold to geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and South America.
Licensing
The
Company provides its third-party licensees with the right to access its Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors trademarks under product and geographic licensing arrangements. Under geographic licensing arrangements, third party licensees receive the right to distribute and sell products bearing the Company’s trademarks in retail and/or wholesale channels
/
12
within certain geographical areas, including Brazil, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South Africa, certain parts of Asia and Australia.
The
Company recognizes royalty revenue and advertising contributions based on the percentage of sales made by the licensees. Generally, the Company’s guaranteed minimum royalty amounts due from licensees relate to contractual periods that do not exceed 12 months, however, certain guaranteed minimums for Versace are multi-year based. iAs of December 26, 2020, contractually guaranteed minimum fees from the
Company’s license agreements expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows (in millions):

Note 3 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 for a complete disclosure of the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
(1)As
of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, $i75 million and $i80
million, respectively, of trade receivables were insured.
/
iReceivables are presented net of allowances for discounts, markdowns, operational chargebacks and credit losses. Discounts are based on open invoices where trade discounts have been extended to customers. Markdowns are based on wholesale customers’ sales performance, seasonal negotiations with customers, historical deduction trends
and an evaluation of current market conditions. Operational chargebacks are based on deductions taken by customers, net of expected recoveries. Such provisions, and related recoveries, are reflected in revenues.
14
The Company’s allowance for credit losses is determined through analysis of periodic aging of receivables and assessments of collectibility based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and the impact of general economic conditions. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Amounts deemed uncollectible
are written off against the allowance when it is probable the amounts will not be recovered. Allowance for credit losses was $i29 million and $i39
million as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, respectively, including the impact related to COVID-19. The Company had a credit loss of $(i3) million and $(i5)
million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020. The Company had bad debt expense of $i0 million and $i3
million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, respectively.

9. iDebt
Obligations
i
The following table presents the Company’s debt obligations (in millions):
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its third amended and restated credit facility, dated as of November 15, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Facility”), with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries that are borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, and substantially
all of the registered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. This requirement for collateral will fall away if the Company achieves an investment grade ratings requirement for two consecutive full fiscal quarters. The Amendment adds a restriction on the disposition of assets and a requirement to prepay the term loans with certain net cash proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment option with respect to up to $i100
million of net cash proceeds in the aggregate.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility requiring it to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than i3.75 to 1.0 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June
26, 2021. When this financial covenant is reinstated, the applicable ratio will be calculated net of the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $i100 million and shall exclude up to $i150
million of supply chain financings, and the maximum permitted net leverage ratio will be i4.00 to 1.0. In addition, until March 31, 2021, the material adverse change representation required to be made in connection with revolving borrowings and the issuance or amendment of letters of credit will be modified to disregard certain COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts to the business, results of operations or financial
18
condition
of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Second Amendment also requires the Company, during the period from June 25, 2020 until it delivers its financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021, to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus the aggregate undrawn amounts under the revolving facilities under the 2018 Credit Facility of not less than $i300
million, increasing to $i400 million on October 1, 2020 and $i500
million on December 1, 2020.
The 2018 Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the Company's senior notes contain certain restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company, and the Second Amendment imposes incremental restrictions on certain of these covenants during the covenant relief period provided under the 2018 Credit Facility, including restrictions on its ability to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make loans and investments, including acquisitions, sell assets, incur
liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
In addition, the Second Amendment adds a new $i230 million revolving line of credit that matures on June 24, 2021 (the “i364
Day Facility”). The terms of the i364 Day Facility are substantially similar to the terms of the existing revolving facility under the 2018 Credit Facility except that (i) no letters of credit or swingline loans are provided and (ii) for loans subject to Adjusted LIBOR, the applicable margin is i225
basis points per annum, for loans subject to the base rate the applicable margin is i125 basis points per annum and the commitment fee is i35 basis
points per annum. In addition, while the i364 Day Facility is outstanding, (i) if the Company incurs any incremental indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facility or certain permitted indebtedness in lieu of such incremental indebtedness, the i364 Day
Facility will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis and the Company will be required to make corresponding prepayments and (ii) the Company will be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the i364 Day Facility on a weekly basis to the extent that cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries
exceed $i200 million.
The Second Amendment also permits certain working capital facilities between the Company or any of its subsidiaries with a lender or an affiliate of a lender under the 2018 Credit Facility to be guaranteed under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and certain supply chain financings
with, and up to $i50 million outstanding principal amount of bilateral letters of credit and bilateral bank guarantees issued by a lender or an affiliate of a lender to be guaranteed and secured under the 2018 Credit Facility guarantees and collateral documents.
As of December 26, 2020, and the date these financial statements were issued, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility as amended by the Second Amendment.
As of December 26, 2020the Company had ino borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as a result of paying off the remaining borrowings during the period and $i681
million as of March 28, 2020, which were recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets. In addition, stand-by letters of credit of $i22 million were outstanding as of December 26, 2020. At December 26, 2020, the amount available for future borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and the i364
Day Facility were $i978 million and $i230 million, respectively.
As of December 26,
2020 and March 28, 2020, the carrying value of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility was $i890 million and $i1.010
billion, respectively, of which $i97 million and $i128 million, respectively, was recorded within short-term debt and $i793
million and $i882 million, respectively, was recorded within long-term debt in its consolidated balance sheets.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company began offering a supplier financing program to certain suppliers as the Company continues to identify opportunities to improve liquidity. This program enables suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e.,
the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations, including the amount due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by a suppliers’ decision to participate in this program. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur to participate in the program and their participation is voluntary. The amount outstanding under this program as of December 26, 2020 is $i7 million
and is presented as short-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 12 to the Company’s Fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s credit facilities and debt obligations.

10. iCommitments
and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such claims cannot be determined with certainty, the Company does not believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations or financial position.
Please refer to the Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments disclosure within the Liquidity section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 for a detailed disclosure of other commitments and contractual obligations as of March 28, 2020.
11. iFair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level
valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level
2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
At December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, the fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps
and net investment hedges were determined using broker quotations, which were calculations derived from observable market information: the applicable currency rates at the balance sheet date and those forward rates particular to the contract at inception. The Company makes no adjustments to these broker obtained quotes or prices, but assesses the credit risk of the counterparty and would adjust the provided valuations for counterparty credit risk when appropriate. The fair values of the forward contracts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities
to the Company. The fair values of net investment hedges and interest rate swaps are included in other assets, and in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or liabilities to the Company. See Note 12 for detail.
20
i
All
contracts are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as shown in the following table (in millions):
The
Company’s long-term debt obligations are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and based on other debt instruments with similar characteristics. Borrowings under revolving credit agreements, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequency nature of such borrowings and repayments. See Note 9 for detailed information relating to carrying values of the Company’s outstanding debt. iThe
following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt, based on Level 2 measurements (in millions):
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s non-financial assets include goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. Such assets are reported at their carrying values and are not subject to recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets (Versace and Jimmy Choo brands) are assessed for impairment at least annually, while its other long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are assessed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The fair values of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements using the Company’s best estimates of the amount and timing of future discounted cash flows, based on historical experience, market conditions, current trends and performance expectations.
The Company recorded $i91
million and $i113 million in impairment charges during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. iThe
following table details the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s assets that have been impaired during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 (in millions):
(1)Includes
$i1 million and $i3 million of impairment charges that were recorded within restructuring and other
charges related to the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively.
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure
to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of its transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to certain forecasted inventory purchases by using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company only enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-rated counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Net Investment
Hedges
As of December 26, 2020, the Company had multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $i3 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and $i44
million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the term of these contracts, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of i0% to i4.508%
in Euros and i0.89% in Japanese Yen. Certain of these contracts include mandatory early termination dates between November 2022 and September 2025, while the remaining contracts have maturity dates between July 2022 and August 2027. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.
When
a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reduction in interest expense of $i6 million
and $i8 million during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, respectively, and $ii19/
million and $i53 million during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, respectively. This decrease from prior year is primarily due to the Company having lower interest rates and lower average notional amount outstanding on these hedges.
22
Interest
Rate Swap
As of December 26, 2020, the Company had an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $i500 million that will decrease to $i350
million in April 2022. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge designed to mitigate the impact of adverse interest rate fluctuations for a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt equal to the notional amount of the swap. The interest rate swap converts the one-month Adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of i0.237% through December 2022.
When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the
changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of interest expense related to this agreement.
i
The
following table details the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, which are recorded on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020 (in millions):
(1)Recorded
within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(3)Recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(4)Recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(5)Primarily
includes undesignated hedges of inventory purchases.
/
The Company records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, as shown in the previous table. iHowever,
if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances for its derivative instruments on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting arrangements, which provide for the right to set-off amounts for similar transactions denominated in the same currencies, the resulting impact as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020 would be as follows (in millions):

The
Company’s master netting arrangements do not require cash collateral to be pledged by the Company or its counterparties.
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated as accounting hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified from
23
accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the items underlying the hedged transactions are recognized
into earnings, as a component of cost of sales within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The net gain or loss on net investment hedges are reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon discontinuation of the hedge, such amounts remain in CTA until the related investment is sold or liquidated. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps that are designated as accounting hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income
into earnings when the items underlying the hedged transactions are recognized into earnings, as a component of interest expense within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes the pre-tax impact of the gains and losses on the Company’s designated forward foreign currency
exchange contracts, net investment hedges and interest rate swaps (in millions):
The
following tables summarize the pre-tax impact of the gains and losses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income related to the designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 (in millions):
The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for its forward foreign currency exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months, based upon the timing of inventory purchases and turnover.
Undesignated Hedges
During
the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, a loss of $ii2/
million was recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income as a result of the changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, the net impact of changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts recognized within foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income was immaterial.

13.
iShareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company suspended its $i500
million share-repurchase program in response to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the provisions of the Second Amendment of the 2018 Credit Facility, which imposes incremental restrictions, including restrictions to pay dividends or make other distribution or repurchase or redeem capital stocks. During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company did inot purchase any shares through open market transactions
under the current plan. As of December 26, 2020, the remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program was $i400 million. During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, the Company repurchased i2,711,807
shares through open market transactions at a cost of $i100 million under its $i500 million share-repurchase program.
Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading transactions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During the nine month periods ended December 26, 2020
and December 28, 2019, the Company withheld i48,147 shares and i63,958
shares, respectively, with a fair value of $i1 million and $i2 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum
tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

million loss, net of taxes of $i64 million, relating to the Company's net investment hedges, which was offset by a net $i227
million translation gain. Foreign currency translation gains and losses for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 include net gains of $i3 million on intra-entity transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, a $i4
million translation loss relating to the Versace business and an $i44 million gain, net of taxes of $i9
million, relating to the Company’s net investment hedges.
(2)Reclassified amounts primarily relate to the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts for inventory purchases and are recorded within cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. All tax effects were not material for the periods presented.

iShare-Based Compensation
The Company grants equity awards to certain employees and directors of the Company at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation and Talent Committee. The
Company has itwo equity plans, ione
stock option plan adopted in Fiscal 2008 (as amended and restated, the “2008 Plan”), and the Omnibus Incentive Plan adopted in the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012 and amended and restated with shareholder approval in May 2015 and again in June 2020 (the “Incentive Plan”). The 2008 Plan only provided for grants of share options and was authorized to issue up to i23,980,823 ordinary shares. As of December 26,
2020, there were ino shares available to grant equity awards under the 2008 Plan. The Incentive Plan allows for grants of share options, restricted shares and RSUs, and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to i18,846,000
ordinary shares after amendments in June 2020. At December 26, 2020, there were i5,138,884 ordinary shares available for future grants of equity awards under the Incentive Plan. Option grants issued from the 2008 Plan generally expire iten
years from the date of the grant, and those issued under the Incentive Plan generally expire iseven years from the date of the grant.

The
following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity during the nine months ended December 26, 2020:
The
weighted average grant date fair value of service-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 was $i16.72. The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based and performance-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 28,
2019 was $i33.89 and $i33.86,
respectively.

See Note
17 in the Company’s Fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Company’s share-based compensation awards.
15. iIncome Taxes
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 was (i2.9)% and i14.4%,
respectively. Such rates differs from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable impact of global financing activities as well as the release of a valuation allowance on tax loss carryforwards of one of our U.S. subsidiaries during the three months ended December 26, 2020. The favorable impacts are partially offset by the impact of the tax rate change in the United Kingdom on the Company's net deferred tax liabilities recorded for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as well as tax detriments related to share based compensation. The global financing activities are related to the
Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt
26
financing arrangements between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized a lower effective tax rate.
The
Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 was i2.0% and i0.6%,
respectively. Such rates differed from the U.K. federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable impact from the realization of previously unrecognized tax benefits associated with certain positions in Europe realized during the period and return to provision adjustments in the U.S. and Europe, which resulted in a benefit to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019. In addition, the Company had favorable effects related to global financing activities. The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become
a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of the our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized a lower effective tax rate.
16. iSegment
Information
The Company operates its business through ithree operating segments—Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors, which are based on its business activities and organization. The reportable segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly
by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are revenue and operating income for each segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent components of the business that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies.
The Company’s ithree
reportable segments are as follows:
•Versace — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Versace luxury ready-to-wear, accessories, and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), EMEA and certain parts of Asia, including Australia, as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Versace trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Versace branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.
•Jimmy
Choo — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury footwear, handbags and small leather goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, EMEA and certain parts of Asia, including Australia, through its e-commerce sites, as well as through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo trademarks in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including fragrances and eyewear.
•Michael Kors — segment includes
revenue generated through the sale of Michael Kors products through ifour primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which the Company sells Michael Kors products, as well as licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to the end consumer throughout the Americas, Europe and certain parts of Asia, including Australia. The
Company also sells Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops, and to its geographic licensees. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear.
27
In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to its brands and, therefore, are not allocated to its segments. Such costs primarily include certain
administrative, corporate occupancy, and information systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transition costs related to the Company’s acquisitions), impairment costs and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s CODM plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.

Overview
Our Business
Capri Holdings Limited is a global fashion luxury group, consisting of iconic brands that are industry leaders in design, style and craftsmanship, led by a world-class management
team and renowned designers. Our brands cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories including women’s and men’s accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear as well as wearable technology, watches, jewelry, eyewear and a full line of fragrance products. Our goal is to continue to extend the global reach of our brands while ensuring that they maintain their independence and exclusive DNA.
Our Versace brand has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading international fashion design houses and is synonymous with Italian glamour and style. Founded in 1978 in Milan, Versace is known for its iconic and unmistakable style and unparalleled craftsmanship. Over the past several decades, the House of Versace has grown globally from its roots in haute couture, expanding into the design, manufacturing, distribution and retailing of ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear, eyewear, watches, jewelry, fragrance and home furnishings
businesses. Versace’s design team is led by Donatella Versace, who has been the brand’s artistic director for over 20 years. Versace distributes its products through a worldwide distribution network, which includes boutiques located in the world’s most glamorous cities, its e-commerce site, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
29
Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range, enabling it to develop into a leading global luxury accessories brand, whose core product offering is women’s luxury shoes, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, scarves and belts, as well as a growing men’s luxury shoes and accessory business. In addition, certain categories, such as
fragrances, sunglasses and eyewear are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the brand since its inception in 1996. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, as well as innovative products that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
Our Michael Kors brand was launched almost 40 years ago by Michael Kors, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and apparel company with a global distribution network that has presence in over
100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized luxury fashion brand in the Americas and Europe with growing brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a jet-set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection luxury line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors accessible luxury line and the Michael Kors Mens line. The Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by many of our retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering footwear and apparel, and addresses the significant demand opportunity in
accessible luxury goods.We have also been developing our men’s business in recognition of the significant opportunity afforded by the Michael Kors brand’s established fashion authority and the expanding men’s market. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.
Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
COVID-19 Pandemic. See Item 1A — "The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 for additional discussion regarding risks to our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Establishing brand identity and enhancing global presence.
We intend to continue to increase our international presence and global brand recognition by growing our existing international operations through the formation of various joint ventures with international partners and continuing with our international licensing arrangements. We feel this is an efficient method for continued penetration into the global luxury goods market, especially for markets where we have yet to establish a substantial presence. In addition, our growth strategy includes assuming direct control of certain licensed international operations to better manage our growth opportunities in the related regions.
Channel shift and demand for our accessories and related merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. Although overall consumer spending for personal luxury products has increased
in recent years, consumer shopping preferences have continued to shift from physical stores to on-line shopping. We currently expect that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future. We continue to adjust our operating strategy to the changing business environment. In addition, we recently announced our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program to close approximately 170 of our retail stores over the next two years, in order to improve the profitability of our retail store fleet. Over this time period, we expect to incur approximately $75 million of one-time costs associated with these store closures.
Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, and those of our non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional/local currency
is other than the U.S. dollar, particularly the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Japanese Yen, the Korean Won and the Canadian Dollar, among others. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in the future, when translated to U.S. Dollars.
Disruptions in shipping and distribution. Our operations are subject to the impact of shipping disruptions as a result of changes or damage to our distribution infrastructure, as well as due to external factors, including the impact of COVID-19. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
30
Costs
of manufacturing and tariffs. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. This volatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. On May 10, 2019, the U.S. increased the sanction tariffs rate from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of imports of select product categories (Tranche 3), which includes handbags and travel goods from China, and effective February 14, 2020, a 7.5% tariff on certain additional goods from China, including ready-to-wear, footwear and men’s products, went into effect. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries,
the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business. In addition, commodity prices and tariffs may have an impact on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible and diversifying the countries where we produce. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.
Segment Information
We operate in three reportable segments, which are as follows:
Versace
We generate revenue through the sale of Versace luxury
ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia, including Australia, as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry, eyewear and home furnishings.
Jimmy Choo
We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), EMEA and certain parts of Asia,
including Australia, through our e-commerce sites, as well as through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo tradename in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including fragrances and eyewear.
Michael Kors
We generate revenue through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce, through which
we sell our products, as well as licensed products bearing our name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas, Europe and certain parts of Asia, including Australia. Our Michael Kors e-commerce business includes e-commerce sites in the U.S., Canada and certain parts of Europe and Asia. We also sell Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and to our geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and Brazil. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear, as well as through geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors tradename in connection with the retail
and/or wholesale sales of our Michael Kors branded products in specific geographic regions.
31
Unallocated Expenses
In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy and information systems expenses, including ERP system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transaction and transition costs related to our acquisitions), impairment costs and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating
decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. The following table presents our total revenue and income (loss) from operations by segment for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 (in millions):

Seasonality
We experience certain effects of seasonality with respect to our business. We generally experience greater sales during our third fiscal quarter, primarily
driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during our first fiscal quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must
use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies are disclosed in full in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since March 28, 2020.

Total Revenue
Total revenue decreased $269 million, or 17.1%, to $1.302 billion for the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $1.571 billion for the three months ended December 28, 2019, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of approximately $38 million, primarily related to the strengthening of the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar during the three months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue decreased $307 million, or 19.5%. The decrease is attributable to lower revenues across all three brands, as compared to the prior year, reflecting the adverse impact of COVID-19.
Gross
Profit
Gross profit decreased $84 million, or 9.0%, to $848 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $932 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $27 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 580 basis points to 65.1% during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 59.3% during the three months ended December 28, 2019. The increase in our gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a higher gross profit margin for Michael Kors primarily driven by a higher average unit price during the three months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to the three
months ended December 28, 2019.
35
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $46 million, or 6.3%, to $681 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $727 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Our operating expenses included a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $29 million. Total operating expenses increased to 52.3% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 46.3% for the three months ended December 28,
2019. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $92 million, or 14.6%, to $538 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $630 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to lower variable costs, as well as decreased costs from our cost reduction initiatives as a result of COVID-19.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 41.3% for the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 40.1% for the three months ended December 28,
2019, primarily due to increased e-commerce related costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by a decrease in retail store related costs as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to the three months ended December 28, 2019.
Corporate unallocated expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, decreased $17 million, or 37.0%, to $29 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to $46 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to a reduction in ERP system implementation costs, as well as our cost reduction initiatives
as a result of COVID-19.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $11 million, or 17.5%, to $52 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $63 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to previously recorded property and equipment impairment charges. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 4.0% for both the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019.
Impairment of Assets
During the three
months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized asset impairment charges of $90 million, primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets across our brands (see Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During the three months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized asset impairment charges of approximately $19 million, primarily related to property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets at our Michael Kors store locations.
Restructuring and Other Charges
During the three months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $1 million, which included other costs of $5 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition
of Versace and closures of certain corporate locations, offset by $4 million of gains recognized on lease terminations related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
During the three months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $15 million, which primarily included other costs of $10 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace and $5 million related to our Michael Kors Retail Fleet Optimization Plan.
Income from Operations
As a result, income from operations decreased $38 million, to $167 million during three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $205 million
for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 12.8% during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 13.0% for the three months ended December 28, 2019. See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.
36
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased $7 million to $10 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $3
million for the three months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to a decrease of interest income attributable to lower average interest rates and lower average notional amount outstanding on our net investment hedges in the current year. The decrease in interest income was largely offset by a decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings outstanding in the current year and the addition of an interest rate swap in the current year which converts the one-month Adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 0.237% through December 2022 (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency Gain
During the three months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized a net
foreign currency gain of $13 million, primarily attributable to the remeasurement of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany payables with certain of our subsidiaries.
During the three months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $2 million, primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany payables with certain of our subsidiaries.
Benefit from Income Taxes
We recognized $5 million of income tax benefit during the three months
ended December 26, 2020, compared to a $4 million income tax benefit for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Our effective tax rates were (2.9)% and (2.0)% for the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily related to the impact of the release of a valuation allowance on tax loss carryforwards of a U.S. subsidiary during the three months ended December 26, 2020. The decrease was partially offset by the existence of favorable impacts of benefits recognized from the resolution of uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments for the three months ended December 28, 2019 when
compared to the three months ended December 26, 2020.
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
During the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, we recorded a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures of $1 million in each period. This loss represents
the share of income that is not attributable to the Company.
Net Income Attributable to Capri
As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased $31 million to a net income of $179 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to net income of $210 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019.
Versace revenues were $195 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019. Revenue during the three months ended December 26, 2020 included favorable foreign currency effects of $13 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $13 million, or 6.7%, primarily reflecting the adverse impacts related to COVID-19.
Income (Loss) from Operations
During the three months ended December 26, 2020,
Versace recorded income from operations of $13 million, compared to a loss from operations of $12 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Operating margin increased from (6.2)% for the three months ended December 28, 2019, to 6.7% during the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to our cost reduction initiatives as a result of COVID-19 and favorable channel mix.
Jimmy Choo revenues decreased $44 million, or 26.7%, to $121 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $165 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019, which included favorable foreign currency effects of $1 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $45 million, or 27.3%, primarily reflecting the adverse impacts related to COVID-19, including the cancellation of the holiday collection in the current year.
(Loss) Income from Operations
During the three months ended December 26, 2020, Jimmy Choo recorded a loss from operations of $8 million, compared to income from operations
of $9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Operating margin declined from 5.5% for the three months ended December 28, 2019 to (6.6)% during the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to expense deleverage due to lower revenue as noted above.
Michael
Kors revenues decreased $225 million, or 18.6%, to $986 million during the three months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $1.211 billion for the three months ended December 28, 2019, which included favorable foreign currency effects of $24 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $249 million, or 20.6%, primarily reflecting the adverse impacts related to COVID-19.
Income from Operations
During the three months ended December 26, 2020, Michael Kors recorded income from operations of $281 million, compared to $288 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019. Operating margin increased from 23.8% for the three months ended December 28,
2019, to 28.5% during the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to a higher average unit price and favorable channel mix.

On a constant currency basis, our total revenue decreased $1.553 billion, or 35.6%.

Gross profit decreased $780 million, or 29.5%, to $1.860 billion for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $2.640 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $35 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 440 basis points to 65.0% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 60.6% during the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a higher gross profit margin for Michael Kors driven by a higher average unit price and favorable channel mix during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as compared
to the nine months ended December 28, 2019.
39
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $594 million, or 25.9%, to $1.702 billion during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $2.296 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Our operating expenses included a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $43 million. Total operating expenses increased to 59.4% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 52.7% for the nine months ended
December 28, 2019. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $437 million, or 23.6%, to $1.414 billion during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $1.851 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to lower variable costs, as well as decreases from our cost reduction initiatives as a result of COVID-19.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 49.4% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 42.5% for the
nine months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to increased retail store and e-commerce related costs as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended December 28, 2019.
Corporate unallocated expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, decreased $24 million, or 21.1%, to $90 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020 as compared to $114 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to a reduction in ERP system implementation costs, as well as our cost reduction initiatives
as a result of COVID-19.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $28 million, or 14.9%, to $160 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $188 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to previously recorded property and equipment impairment charges. Depreciation and amortization increased to 5.6% as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to 4.3% for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 primarily due to lower revenues during the nine months ended December 26,
2020 as a result of COVID-19.
Impairment of Assets
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized asset impairment charges of $110 million, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets across our brands (see Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized asset impairment charges of approximately $220 million, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets across our brands.
Restructuring and Other Charges
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized restructuring and other
charges of $18 million, which included other costs of $17 million primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information) and $1 million related to our Capri Retail Store Optimization Program.
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $37 million, which were primarily comprised of $26 million of other costs and restructuring charges of $11 million primarily related to Jimmy Choo lease-related charges and our previous Michael Kors Retail Fleet Optimization Plan. The other costs recorded during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 included $18 million, primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace and $8 million, primarily related
to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Jimmy Choo. Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments’ results (See Segment Information above for additional information).
40
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations decreased $186 million or 54.1%, to $158 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $344 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 5.5% during the nine months ended December 26,
2020, compared to 7.9% for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 (see Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income).
Interest Expense,net
Interest expense, net, increased $20 million to $39 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $19 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, primarily due to a decrease to interest income attributable to lower average net investment hedges outstanding and lower interest rates in the current year. The decrease to interest income was largely offset by a decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings outstanding in the current year
and the addition of an interest rate swap in the current year which converts the one-month Adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 0.237% through December 2022 (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $16 million, primarily attributable to the remeasurement of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany payables with certain of our subsidiaries.
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized a net foreign currency loss
of $4 million, primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany payables with certain of our subsidiaries.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
We recognized $20 million of income tax expense during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to a $2 million tax benefit for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Our effective tax rates were 14.4% and (0.6)% for the nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019,
respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily related to the impact of the tax rate change in the United Kingdom on the Company's net deferred tax liabilities and a tax detriment related to share based compensation recorded for the nine months ended December 26, 2020. The additional increase is due to favorable impacts of benefits recognized from the resolution of uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 when compared to the nine months ended December 26, 2020. These increases were partially offset by the favorable effects related to global activities on our consolidated pre-tax income in the current year compared to the prior year.
Our
effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, we recorded a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures of $2 million and $1 million, respectively. These losses represent the share of income that is not attributable to the Company.
Net
Income Attributable to Capri
As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased $207 million to a net income of $121 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to net income of $328 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019.
Versace
revenues decreased $147 million, or 23.3%, to $483 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $630 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, which included favorable foreign currency effects of $21 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $168 million, or 26.7%, primarily reflecting the adverse impacts related to COVID-19.
Loss from Operations
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, Versace recorded a loss from operations of $8 million, compared to $6 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Operating margin declined from (1.0)% for the nine months ended December 28,
2019, to (1.7)% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to a decline in revenue as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by favorable channel mix.
Revenue from Jimmy Choo decreased $154 million, or 34.4%, to $294 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $448 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, which included favorable foreign currency effects of $6 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $160 million, or 35.7%, primarily reflecting the adverse impacts related to COVID-19.
(Loss) Income from Operations
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, Jimmy Choo recorded a loss from operations of $37 million, compared to income from operations of $10 million for the nine months ended December 28,
2019. Operating margin declined from 2.2% for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, to (12.6)% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to a decline in revenue related to COVID-19.
Michael
Kors revenues decreased $1.195 billion, or 36.4%, to $2.086 billion during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, compared to $3.281 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, which included favorable foreign currency effects of $30 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased $1.225 billion, or 37.3%, primarily due to the adverse impacts related to COVID-19.
Income from Operations
During the nine months ended December 26, 2020, Michael Kors recorded income from operations of $423 million, compared to $711 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019. Operating margin declined from 21.7% for the nine months ended
December 28, 2019, to 20.3% during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to a decline in revenue related to COVID-19, partially offset by higher gross profit margins related to a higher average unit price, favorable channel mix as well as our cost reduction initiatives as a result of COVID-19.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, along with borrowings available under our credit facilities and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund our ongoing cash
requirements, including working capital requirements, acquisitions, debt repayments, investment in information systems infrastructure, global retail store construction, expansion and renovation, distribution and corporate facilities, construction and renovation of shop-in-shops and other corporate activities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our store growth plans, shop-in-shop growth, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued systems development, e-commerce and marketing initiatives. We spent $85 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 26, 2020.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities decreased $207 million to $545 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to $752 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, as a result of a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments, partially offset by increases related to changes in our working capital, primarily attributable to a lower inventory balance and the timing of payments and receipts due to the impact of COVID-19.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $97 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to $133 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, which was primarily
attributable to lower capital expenditures of $79 million compared to prior year, offset by an increase of $32 million related to the settlement of a net investment hedge during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 and an increase of $11 million due to asset acquisitions during the nine months ended December 26, 2020.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $803 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2020, as compared to $554 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019. The increase of cash used in financing activities of $249 million was primarily attributable to an increase in net debt repayments of $346 million, partially
offset by a $101 million decrease in cash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares compared to prior year.

_____________________________
(1)The
financial covenant in our 2018 Credit Facility requiring us to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021. When this financial covenant is reinstated, the applicable ratio will be calculated net of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to the extent in excess of $100 million and shall exclude up to $150 million of supply chain financings, and the maximum permitted net leverage ratio will be 4.00 to 1.0. As of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our agreements then in effect governing our debt. See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for additional information.
(2)Recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020, except for the current portion of $97 million outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Facility, which was recorded within short-term debt at both December 26, 2020 and March 28, 2020.
(4)The balance as of December 26,
2020 consists of $7 million related to our supplier financing program recorded within short-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets and $4 million of other loans recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The balance as of March 28, 2020 consists of $3 million of other loans recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.
We believe that our 2018 Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. As of December 26, 2020, there were 28 financial institutions participating in the facility, with none maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 10%. We have no reason to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Credit
Facility.
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, we began offering a supplier financing program to certain suppliers as we continue to identify opportunities to improve liquidity. See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information.
See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements and Note 12 in our Fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information relating to our credit facilities and debt obligations.

See Note 9 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information.
As of December 26, 2020, the remaining availability under our share repurchase program was $400 million. Under this program, share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under our insider
trading policy and other relevant factors. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. Our off-balance sheet commitments relating to our outstanding letters of credit were $28 million at December 26, 2020, including $6 million in letters of credit issued outside of the 2018 Credit Facility. In addition, as of December 26, 2020, bank guarantees of approximately $37 million were supported by our various credit facilities. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in interest rates. In attempts to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect
of these fluctuations. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instruments primarily helps to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our product costs. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiaries’
local currency relative to the currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency exchange contracts that generally mature in 12 months or less and are consistent with the related purchase commitments, to manage our exposure to the changes in the value of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability and are derivative contracts to hedge cash flow risks. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, while certain of these
contracts, are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the majority of these contracts at the balance sheet date are recorded in our equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of sales or operating expenses, in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, as applicable, based on the underlying transactions for which the forward currency exchange contracts were established.
We perform a sensitivity analysis on our forward currency contracts,
both designated and not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in U.S. Dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of December 26, 2020, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 26, 2020, would result in a net increase and decrease, respectively, of approximately $18 million in the fair value of these contracts.
Net
Investment Hedges
We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to interest from our net investment hedges. As of December 26, 2020, the net investment hedges have an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion to hedge our net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries, and $44 million to hedge our net investments in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company
will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 4.508% in Euros and 0.89% in Japanese Yen. Some of these contracts include mandatory early termination dates between September 2023 and September 2025, while the remaining contracts have maturity dates between July 2022 and August 2027. Based on all net investment hedges outstanding as of December 26, 2020, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 26, 2020, would result in a potential
net increase or decrease upon settlement of approximately $348 million in the fair value of these contracts, which have staggered maturities, as stated above.
48
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility, our 2018 Credit Facility, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, our Japan Credit Facility and our Versace Credit Facilities. Our 2018 Term Loan Facility carries interest at a rate that is based on LIBOR. Our 2018 Credit Facility carries interest rates that are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, among other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular
origination of borrowing), as further described in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Our China Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark lending rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Our Versace Credit Facility carries interest at a rate set by the bank on the date of borrowing that is tied to the European Central Bank. Therefore, our statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. As part of our strategy to limit exposure to interest rate risk, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $500 million that will decrease to $350 million in April 2022. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge designed to mitigate the
impact of adverse interest rate fluctuations for a portion of our variable-rate debt equal to the notional amount of the swap. The interest rate swap converts the one-month Adjusted LIBOR interest rate on these borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 0.237% through December 2022. At December 26, 2020, we had no long-term borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility, $890 million, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and $55 million outstanding under our Versace Credit Facility. At March 28, 2020, we had $681 million in long-term borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility, $1.010 billion, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and $39 million outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under our revolving
credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense relative to any outstanding balance at that date.
Credit Risk
We have outstanding $450 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due in 2024. The Senior Notes initially beared interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.000% per year, payable semi-annually. Our Senior Notes interest rate payable may be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or a substitute rating agency) changes the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes. In March 2020, Moody's Investor Service downgraded their credit rating of us from Baa2 to Ba1, and in April 2020 Fitch ratings downgraded their credit rating of us from BBB- to BB+. As a result, the Senior Notes currently bear interest at a fixed rate equal to
4.500% per year, payable semi-annually.
On an overall basis, our exposure to market risk has not significantly changed from what we reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The COVID-19 pandemic does present new and emerging uncertainty to the financial markets. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 for additional information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 26, 2020. This evaluation was performed based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), the 2013 Framework. Based on this assessment, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 26, 2020 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 26, 2020 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
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk
Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the
Company suspended its $500 million share-repurchase program in response to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers and directors to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards.
The following table provides information of the Company’s ordinary shares repurchased or withheld during the three months ended December 26, 2020:

ITEM
5. OTHER INFORMATION
This Item 5 is being filed solely to update the Item 9B disclosure included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 8, 2020, in order to provide the amount of any material charges relating to the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program by major type of cost that the Company believes are now determinable.
As previously announced, the Company intends to close approximately 170 of its retail stores
over the next two fiscal years (Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022) in connection with its Capri Retail Store Optimization Program in order to improve the profitability of its retail store fleet. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $75 million of one-time costs related to this program, including lease termination and other store closure costs, the majority of which are expected to result in future cash expenditures. For the three and nine months ended December 26, 2020, the Company closed 18 stores and 66 stores pursuant to the Capri Retail Optimization Program and recorded restructuring charges of $(4) million and $1 million, respectively, which were comprised of lease-related and other store closing costs.
The
exact amounts and timing of the Capri Retail Optimization Program charges and future cash expenditures associated therewith are undeterminable at this time. The Company will either disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, or disclose in another periodic filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the amount of any material charges
51
relating to the Capri Retail Optimization Program by major type of cost once such amounts or range of amounts are determinable.
This disclosure is intended to satisfy the requirements of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K.
