SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements”, based on current expectations, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our management’s current expectations. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “are positioned to”, “continue”, “project”, “guidance”, “forecast”, “anticipated”, or comparable terms. Future results will vary from historical results and historical growth is not indicative of future trends, which will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the successful execution of our growth strategies; (ii) the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace; (iii) our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations; (iv) changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products; (v) our ability to successfully anticipate consumer preferences for accessories and fashion trends; (vi) our ability to control costs; (vii) the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in our sales on our operating results; (viii) our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights; and such other risk factors as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2006. Coach, Inc. assumes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their date, even if experience, future events or changes make it clear that any projected financial or operating results will not be realized.

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coach, Inc. (“Coach” or the “Company”) and all 100% owned subsidiaries, including Coach Japan, Inc. (“Coach Japan”). These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended July 1, 2006 (“fiscal 2006”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on June 30, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”).

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2007, the Company exited its corporate accounts business in order to better control the location and image of the brand where Coach product is sold. Through the corporate accounts business, Coach sold products primarily to distributors for gift-giving and incentive programs. The results of the corporate accounts business, previously included in the Indirect segment, have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. As the Company uses a centralized approach to cash management, interest income was not allocated to the corporate accounts business. The following table summarizes results of the corporate accounts business:

	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
		March 31,		April 1,		March 31,		April 1,
		2007		2006		2007		2006
Net sales	$	8,149	$	18,141	$	63,363	$	63,634

The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007 includes approximately $428 of accounts receivable, net and approximately $4,004 of accrued liabilities, related to the corporate accounts business. The net book value of the fixed assets related to the corporate accounts business was $0 prior to the exiting of the business. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized upon disposal of the fixed assets. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes the corporate accounts business for all periods presented.

3. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, total compensation cost charged against income for share-based payment plans was $15,467 and $21,206, respectively, including $44 and $277, respectively, related to discontinued operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement from these plans, during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, was $6,088 and $8,492, respectively, including $17 and $108, respectively, related to discontinued operations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, total compensation cost charged against income for share-based payment plans was $41,553 and $51,286, respectively, including $434 and $1,181, respectively, related to discontinued operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement from these plans, during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, was $16,368 and $20,536, respectively, including $169 and $461, respectively, related to discontinued operations.

Coach maintains the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to award stock options and shares to certain members of Coach management and the outside members of its Board of Directors. These plans were approved by Coach’s stockholders. The exercise price of each stock option equals 100% of the market price of Coach’s stock on the date of grant and generally has a maximum term of 10 years. Options generally vest ratably over three years. Share awards are subject to forfeiture until the vesting period, which is generally three years, is complete.

For options granted under Coach’s stock option plans prior to July 1, 2003, an active employee can receive a replacement stock option equal to the number of shares surrendered upon a stock-for-stock exercise. The exercise price of the replacement option is 100% of the market value at the date of exercise of the original option and will remain exercisable for the remaining term of the original option. Replacement stock options generally vest six months from the grant date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

The fair value of each Coach option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended
		March 31,		April 1,
		2007		2006
Expected lives (years)		2.3		2.8
Expected volatility		30.0	%	35.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.9	%	4.2	%
Dividend yield		-	%	-	%

The expected term of options represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock as well as the implied volatility from publicly traded options on Coach’s stock. The risk free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury issue as of the date of the grant. As Coach does not pay dividends, the dividend yield is 0%.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of individual options granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were $7.08 and $8.47, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were $138,881 and $225,086, respectively. The total cash received from these option exercises was $96,921 and $78,646, respectively, and the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from these option exercises was $50,114 and $86,162, respectively.

At March 31, 2007, $86,752 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Share Awards

The grant-date fair value of each Coach share award is equal to the fair value of Coach stock at the grant date. The following table summarizes information about non-vested shares as of and for the period ended March 31, 2007:

	Number of			Weighted-
	Non-vested			Average Grant-
	Shares			Date Fair Value

Non-vested at July 1, 2006	1,329		$	22.06
Granted	309			33.27
Vested	(212	)		15.16
Forfeited	(26	)		30.37
Non-vested at March 31, 2007	1,400		$	25.59

The total fair value of shares vested during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were $7,461 and $27,106, respectively. At March 31, 2007, $17,239 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The Company recorded an adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to reduce additional paid-in-capital by $16,658, with a corresponding increase to current liabilities, due to an excess tax benefit from share-based compensation overstatement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. This immaterial adjustment is reflected within the cash flows from financing activities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

4. INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments consist of U.S. government and agency debt securities as well as municipal government and corporate debt securities. As the Company has both the ability and the intent to hold these securities until maturity, all investments are classified as held to maturity and stated at amortized cost. The following table shows the amortized cost, fair value, and unrealized gains (losses) of the Company’s investments at March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006:

Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities, as some borrowers have the right to call certain obligations.

5. DEBT

Coach’s revolving credit facility (the “Bank of America facility”) is available for seasonal working capital requirements or general corporate purposes and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, there were no borrowings under the Bank of America facility. As of March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America facility.

Coach pays a commitment fee of 10 to 25 basis points based on any unused amounts of the Bank of America facility. Coach also pays interest of LIBOR plus 45 to 100 basis points on any outstanding borrowings. Both the commitment fee and the LIBOR margin are based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. At March 31, 2007, the commitment fee was 10 basis points and the LIBOR margin was 45 basis points.

The Bank of America facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. The Company has been in compliance with all covenants since the inception of the Bank of America facility.

Coach Japan has available credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions. These facilities contain various covenants and customary events of default. Coach Japan has been in compliance with all covenants since the inception of the facilities. Coach, Inc. is not a guarantor on any of these facilities.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, the peak borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities were $25,518 and $21,568, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006, the outstanding borrowings under the Japanese facilities were $0.

Workforce		2,169		2,219
Total Indefinite Life Intangible Assets	$	11,957	$	12,007

The $50 decrease in the carrying amount of intangible assets is due to currency translation.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At March 31, 2007, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $72,232. Of this amount, $14,941 relates to the letter of credit obtained in connection with leases transferred to the Company by the Sara Lee Corporation, for which Sara Lee retains contingent liability. The remaining letters of credit were issued primarily for purchases of inventory.

Coach is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, Coach’s general counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome should not have a material effect on Coach’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Coach is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Coach Japan as a result of its U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Coach Japan enters into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, to manage these risks. These transactions are in accordance with Company risk management policies. Coach does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

Coach is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Coach Japan as a result of its $231,000 U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate intercompany loan from Coach. To manage this risk, on July 1, 2005, Coach Japan entered into a cross currency swap transaction, the terms of which include an exchange of a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate for a yen fixed interest rate. The loan matures in 2010, at which point the swap requires an exchange of yen and U.S. dollar based principals.

The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006 was $13,145 and $2,578, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, changes in the fair value of contracts designated and effective as cash flow hedges resulted in an increase to equity as a benefit to other comprehensive income of $4,067, net of taxes. For the nine months ended April 1, 2006 changes in the fair value of contracts designated and effective as cash flow hedges resulted in a decrease to equity as a charge to other comprehensive income of $1,158, net of taxes.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates its business in two reportable segments: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The Company's reportable segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar merchandise, service and marketing strategies. Sales of Coach products through Company operated stores in North America and Japan, the Internet and the Coach catalog constitute the Direct-to-Consumer segment. The Indirect segment includes sales of Coach products to other retailers and royalties earned on licensed product. In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, Coach's executive officers regularly evaluate the sales and operating income of these segments. Operating income is the gross margin of the segment less direct expenses of the segment. Unallocated corporate expenses include production variances, general marketing, administration and information systems expenses, as well as distribution and consumer service expenses.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share was calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and share awards.

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

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments –an amendment of FASB Statements 133 and 140.” SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 06-3, “How Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of a company’s accounting policy with respect to presentation of taxes collected on a revenue producing transaction between a seller and a customer. For taxes that are reported on a gross basis (included in revenues and costs), EITF 06-3 also requires disclosure of the amount of taxes included in the financial statements. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. As the Company did not modify its accounting policy of recording sales taxes collected on a net basis, the adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

statement is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement to measure plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 158 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 states that SEC registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement, contains guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach and provides transition guidance for correcting errors existing in prior years. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of Coach’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with Coach’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms “Coach,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Coach, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Coach is a leading American marketer of fine accessories and gifts for women and men. Our primary product offerings include handbags, women’s and men’s small leather goods, business cases, weekend and travel accessories, footwear, watches, outerwear, scarves, sun wear, jewelry, fragrance and related accessories. We sell products directly to consumers through Company-operated stores in North America and Japan, the Internet and catalogs and indirectly through wholesale customers primarily in the U.S. and Asia. Coach seeks to deliver excellent business results and superior shareholder returns. As Coach’s business model is based on multi-channel international distribution, our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel or geographic area.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase in sales, combined with an improvement in operating margins, continued to drive net income and earnings per share growth. The highlights of the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were:

Net income from continuing operations rose 45.0% to $147.4 million compared to $101.7 million in the prior year period.
Earnings per share from continuing operations rose 49.6% to $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $0.26 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.
Net sales totaled $625.3 million, reflecting a 30.3% increase over prior year sales of $479.7 million.
Direct-to-consumer sales rose 28.7% to $480.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $373.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Comparable store sales in the U.S. rose 20.0%, with retail stores up 15.1% and factory stores up 26.6%.
Coach Japan sales, when translated into U.S. dollars, rose 13.3% driven by new and expanded stores as well as low-single-digit comparable store sales. These increases in sales reflect a 1.4% decrease due to currency translation.

In North America, during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we opened seven new retail stores and expanded two factory stores, bringing the total number of retail and factory stores in North America to 244 and 90, respectively, at March 31, 2007, compared to 206 and 84, respectively, at April 1, 2006. In Japan, we opened five new locations and expanded three locations, bringing the total number of locations in Japan at March 31, 2007 to 132, compared to 112 at April 1, 2006.

Net Sales

Net sales by business segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2006 are as follows:

	Quarter Ended
	(unaudited)
							Percentage of
	Net Sales						Total Net Sales

	March 31,		April 1,		Rate of		March 31,			April 1,
	2007		2006		Increase		2007			2006
	(dollars in millions)				(FY07 v. FY06)

Direct-to-consumer	$	480.9	$	373.7	28.7	%		76.9	%	77.9	%
Indirect		144.4		106.0	36.2			23.1		22.1
Total net sales	$	625.3	$	479.7	30.3	%		100.0	%	100.0	%

Direct-to-Consumer Net sales increased 28.7% to $480.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $373.7 million during the same period in fiscal 2006, driven by increased comparable store sales, new store sales and expanded store sales.

In North America, comparable store sales growth, sales from new stores and sales from expanded stores accounted for approximately $45 million, $31 million and $7 million, respectively, of the net sales increase. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Coach has opened 38 new retail stores and six net new factory stores, and expanded one retail store and seven factory stores in North America. In Japan, sales from new stores, expanded stores and comparable store sales growth accounted for approximately $11 million, $3 million and $2 million, respectively, of the net sales increase. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Coach has opened 20 net new locations and expanded 11 locations in Japan. Coach Japan’s reported net sales were negatively impacted by approximately $1 million as a result of foreign currency exchange. Sales growth in the Internet business accounted for the remaining sales increase. These sales increases were slightly offset by store closures.

Indirect Net sales increased 36.2% to $144.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $106.0 million during the same period of fiscal 2006, driven by growth primarily in the U.S. wholesale and international wholesale divisions, which contributed increased sales of approximately $22 million and $7 million, respectively. Licensing revenue of approximately $5 million and $3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, is included in indirect sales.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 47.5% to $226.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $153.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, driven by increases in net sales and gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating margin rose to 36.2% as compared to the 32.0% operating margin in the same period of the prior year. This 420 basis point improvement is attributable to increased net sales, as discussed above, and the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following chart illustrates our operating margin performance:

	Operating Margin

		First		Second		Third		Fourth		Total
		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Year

Fiscal 2007		34.1	%	42.3	%	36.2	%	-		-
Fiscal 2006		31.3	%	40.8	%	32.0	%	34.3	%	35.1	%

Gross profit increased 29.3% to $486.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $376.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2006. In addition, gross margin remained strong at 77.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 78.4% during the same period of fiscal 2006. Gross margin was negatively impacted by channel mix, as Coach Japan grew more slowly than the business as a whole while our factory store channel grew faster, as well as the fluctuation in currency translation rates. However, these negative impacts were partially offset by gains from supply chain initiatives and product mix shifts, reflecting increased penetration of higher margin collections.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $259.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $222.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 41.5% during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 46.4% during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, as we continue to leverage our expense base on higher sales.

Selling expenses increased 27.9% to $178.7 million, or 28.6% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $139.7 million, or 29.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase in these expenses was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of North America stores and Coach Japan. The increase in North America store expenses is primarily attributable to increased variable expenses related to higher sales as well as operating expenses associated with new and expanded stores. The increase in Coach Japan operating expenses was primarily driven by increased variable expenses related to higher sales and new store operating expenses. The remaining increase in selling expenses was primarily due to increased variable expenses to support sales growth in other channels.

Advertising, marketing, and design costs increased 22.6% to $30.9 million, or 4.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, from $25.2 million, or 5.3% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase was primarily due to increased employee staffing costs and advertising and design expenditures.

Distribution and consumer service expenses increased to $13.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $10.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase in these expenses was primarily due to higher sales volumes. However, as a percentage of net sales, distribution and consumer service expenses remained constant at 2.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Efficiency gains at the distribution and consumer service facility were offset by an increase in our direct-to-consumer shipments as a percentage of total shipments. The cost per unit of these shipments is higher, primarily due to value added services, such as gift packaging.

Administrative expenses decreased 22.4% to $36.8 million, or 5.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $47.4 million, or 9.9% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2006. The decrease in these expenses was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense and employee staffing costs.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income was $13.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily due to higher returns on our investments as a result of higher interest rates and higher average cash balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 38.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 37.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to incremental income being taxed at higher rates.

Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations was $147.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $101.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. This 45.0% increase is attributable to increased net sales as well as significant operating margin improvement, as discussed above.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations was $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $7.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Net sales related to the corporate accounts business were $8.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $18.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in net sales and income is attributable to the exiting of the corporate accounts business in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Total net sales	$	1,960.3	$	1,533.5	27.8	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Direct-to-Consumer Net sales increased 30.9% to $1.6 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $1.2 billion during the same period in fiscal 2006, driven by increased comparable store sales, new store sales and expanded store sales.

In North America, comparable store sales growth, sales from new stores and sales from expanded stores accounted for approximately $178 million, $105 million and $23 million, respectively, of the net sales increase. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Coach has opened 38 new retail stores and six net new factory stores, and expanded one retail store and seven factory stores in North America. In Japan, sales from new stores, comparable store sales growth and sales from expanded stores accounted for approximately $35 million, $13 million and $6 million, respectively, of the net sales increase. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Coach has opened 20 net new locations and expanded 11 locations in Japan. Coach Japan’s reported net sales were negatively impacted by approximately $5 million as a result of foreign currency exchange. Sales growth in the Internet business accounted for the remaining sales increase. These sales increases were slightly offset by store closures.

Indirect Net sales increased 17.1% to $399.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $341.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2006. This increase was driven by growth primarily in the U.S. wholesale division, which contributed increased sales of approximately $45 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. These sales increases were offset by an approximately $4 million decrease in sales in the international wholesale division, as shipments to our customers were curbed in consideration of slowing Japanese travel trends in our markets and to ensure healthy inventory levels. Licensing revenue of approximately $10 million and $7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, is included in indirect sales.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 37.9% to $748.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $542.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006, driven by increases in net sales and gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating margin rose to 38.2% as compared to the 35.4% operating margin in the same period of the prior year. This 280 basis point improvement is attributable to increased net sales, as discussed above, and the leveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Gross profit increased 27.4% to $1.5 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $1.2 billion during the same period of fiscal 2006. Gross margin remained strong at 77.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to 77.5% during the same period of fiscal 2006. Gross margin was negatively impacted by channel mix, as Coach Japan grew more slowly than the business as a whole while our factory store channel grew faster, as well as the fluctuation in currency translation rates. However, these negative impacts were partially offset by gains from supply chain initiatives and product mix shifts, reflecting increased penetration of higher margin collections.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $765.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $645.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 39.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to 42.1% during the same period of fiscal 2006, as we continue to leverage our expense base on higher sales.

Selling expenses increased 24.9% to $532.3 million, or 27.2% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $426.2 million, or 27.8% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase in these expenses was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of North America stores and Coach Japan. The increase in North America store expenses is primarily attributable to increased variable expenses related to higher sales as well as operating expenses associated with new and expanded stores. The increase in Coach Japan operating expenses was primarily driven by increased variable expenses related to higher sales and new store operating expenses. In addition, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates decreased reported expenses by approximately $2 million. The remaining increase in selling expenses was primarily due to increased variable expenses to support sales growth in other channels.

Advertising, marketing, and design costs increased 19.4% to $90.3 million, or 4.6% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, from $75.6 million, or 4.9% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase was primarily due to increased employee staffing costs, and advertising and design expenditures.

Distribution and consumer service expenses increased to $40.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $31.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase in these expenses was primarily due to higher sales volumes. As a percentage of net sales, distribution and consumer service expenses remained constant at 2.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Efficiency gains at the distribution and consumer service facility were offset by an increase in our direct-to-consumer shipments as a percentage of total shipments. The cost per unit of these shipments is higher, primarily due to value added services, such as gift packaging.

Administrative expenses decreased 8.3% to $102.8 million, or 5.2% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $112.1 million, or 7.3% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2006. The decrease in these expenses was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense. However, fiscal 2006 expenses were reduced by $2.0 million due to the receipt of business interruption proceeds related to our World Trade Center location. The Company did not receive any business interruption proceeds in fiscal 2007.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income was $27.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $23.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily due to higher returns on our investments as a result of higher interest rates and higher average cash balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 38.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to 37.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to incremental income being taxed at higher rates.

Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations was $477.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $351.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. This 35.9% increase is attributable to increased net sales as well as significant operating margin improvement, as discussed above.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations was $25.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $25.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Net sales related to the corporate accounts business were $63.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $63.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The company exited the corporate accounts business in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $522.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to $401.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The year-to-year improvement of $121.0 million was primarily the result of an increase in earnings of $126.4 million. In addition, depreciation and amortization increased $11.5 million, primarily as a result of new and expanded stores in both North America and Japan. These cash inflows were offset by a $9.7 million decrease in share-based compensation. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were attributable to normal operating conditions.

Net cash used in investing activities was $418.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to $406.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The $12.3 million increase in net cash used is attributable to a $13.6 million increase in the net purchases of investments, offset by a $1.2 million decrease in capital expenditures, related to the timing of payments primarily for new and renovated retail stores in North America and Japan. Coach’s future capital expenditures will depend on the timing and rate of expansion of our businesses, new store openings, store renovations and international expansion opportunities.

Net cash used by financing activities was $25.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to $34.6 million generated from financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The change of $59.6 million in net cash used primarily resulted from a $36.2 million increase in funds expended to repurchase common stock in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the first

nine months of fiscal 2006. In addition, there was a $35.5 million decrease in excess tax benefit from share-based compensation and a $16.7 million decrease related to an adjustment to reverse a portion of the excess tax benefit previously recognized from share-based compensation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. These decreases were offset by an $18.3 million increase in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the non-recurrence of $10.5 million in repayments on the Japanese credit facility in the prior year.

Coach’s revolving credit facility (the “Bank of America facility”) is available for seasonal working capital requirements or general corporate purposes and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 there were no borrowings under the Bank of America facility. As of March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America facility.

The Bank of America facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. The Company has been in compliance with all covenants since the inception of the Bank of America facility.

To provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, Coach Japan has available credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions. These facilities allow a maximum borrowing of 7.4 billion yen or approximately $62.8 million at March 31, 2007. Interest is based on the Tokyo Interbank rate plus a margin of up to 50 basis points.

These Japanese facilities contain various covenants and customary events of default. Coach Japan has been in compliance with all covenants since the inception of these facilities. Coach, Inc. is not a guarantor on these facilities.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, the peak borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities were $25.5 million and $21.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Japanese revolving credit facility agreements were $0.

On October 20, 2006, the Coach Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500 million of Coach’s outstanding common stock through June 2008. Purchases of Coach stock may be made from time to time, subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other uses. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, the Company repurchased and retired 5.0 million and 3.5 million shares, respectively, of common stock, at an average cost of $29.99 and $32.85, respectively, per share.

As of March 31, 2007, $500 million remained available for future repurchases under the existing program.

We expect that fiscal 2007 capital expenditures will be approximately $160 million and will relate primarily to new stores and expansions both in North America and Japan as well as investments in corporate systems and infrastructure. In North America, we expect to open 40 new retail stores and seven net new factory stores, of which 26 and five, respectively, were opened by the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2007. In Japan, we expect to open 19 net new locations in Japan, of which 15 were opened by the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2007. We will also continue to invest in department store and distributor locations. We intend to finance these investments from internally generated cash flows, on hand cash, and by using funds from our Japanese revolving credit facilities.

Coach experiences significant seasonal variations in its working capital requirements. During the first fiscal quarter Coach builds inventory for the holiday selling season, opens new retail stores and generates higher levels of trade receivables. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as Coach generates greater consumer sales and collects wholesale accounts receivable. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, Coach purchased approximately $463 million of inventory, which was funded by operating cash flow and by using funds from our Japanese revolving credit facilities.

Management believes that cash flow from continuing operations and on hand cash will provide adequate funds for the foreseeable working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and the common stock repurchase program. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital and there can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to Coach on acceptable terms or at all. Coach’s ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and scheduled debt payments, and to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreements, depends on its future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond Coach’s control.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources.

Seasonality

Because Coach products are frequently given as gifts, the Company has historically realized, and expects to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the holiday months of November and December. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales. However, over the past several years, we have achieved higher levels of growth in the non-holiday quarters, which has reduced these seasonal fluctuations. We expect that these trends will continue and we will continue to balance our year round business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2006 are those that

depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2007, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

Recent Accounting Developments

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation, in its statement of financial position. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. This statement is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement to measure plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The

Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 158 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. Coach manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments with respect to Coach Japan. The following quantitative disclosures are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.

Foreign Exchange

Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars.

Substantially all of Coach’s non-licensed product needs during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were purchased from independent manufacturers in countries other than the United States. These countries include China, Hungary, India, Italy, Korea, Mauritius, Spain, and Turkey. Additionally, sales are made through international channels to third party distributors. However, substantially all purchases and sales involving international parties are denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore are not hedged by Coach using any derivative instruments.

Coach is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Coach Japan as a result of its $231 million U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate intercompany loan from Coach. To manage this risk, on July 1, 2005, Coach Japan entered into a cross currency swap transaction, the terms of which include an exchange of a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate for a yen fixed interest rate. The loan matures in 2010, at which point the swap requires an exchange of yen and U.S. dollar based principals.

The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at March 31, 2007 and July 1, 2006 was $13.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, changes in the fair value of contracts designated and effective as cash flow hedges resulted in an increase to equity as a benefit to other comprehensive income of $4.1 million, net of taxes. For the nine months ended April 1, 2006, changes in the fair value of contracts designated and effective as cash flow hedges resulted in a decrease to equity as a charge to other comprehensive income of $1.2 million, net of taxes.

Interest Rate

Coach faces minimal interest rate risk exposure in relation to its outstanding debt of $3.1 million at March 31, 2007. A hypothetical 1% change in the interest rate applied to the fair value of debt would not have a material impact on earnings or cash flows of Coach.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, each of Lew Frankfort, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Michael F. Devine, III, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2007.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

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

Although Coach’s litigation with present or former employees is routine and incidental to the conduct of Coach’s business, as well as for any business employing significant numbers of U.S.-based employees, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages for actions claiming discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, religion, disability or other legally protected characteristic or for termination of employment that is wrongful or in violation of implied contracts. As part of its policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, Coach files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Coach may have one or more of such

actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Coach’s intellectual properties.

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