2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2019 ("fiscal 2019") and other filings filed with the SEC.
The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the nine months March 28, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on June 27, 2020 ("fiscal 2020").
During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and Australia and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. The results of operations of each acquired entity have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the respective date of each acquisition.
Fiscal Periods
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2020 will be a 52-week period. Fiscal 2019 ended on June 29, 2019 and was also a 52-week period. The third quarter of fiscal 2020 ended on March 28, 2020 and the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended on March 30, 2019, both of which were 13-week periods.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus continues to grow worldwide, impacting a significant majority of the regions in which we operate. In March 2020, the outbreak was labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. National, state and local governments have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, by declaring states of emergency, restricting people from gathering in groups or interacting within a certain physical distance (i.e., social distancing), requiring individuals to stay at home, and in most cases, ordering non-essential businesses to close or limit operations. The majority of the Company’s stores in mainland China were closed in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, but have essentially all re-opened by the end of the quarter. Also in March 2020, the Company closed all of its stores in North America and Europe, and many in the Asia Pacific region. Many of the Company’s wholesale partners have also closed their bricks and mortar stores and have substantially reduced their operations.
The global Covid-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving and the extent to which this impacts the Company - including unforeseen increased costs to the Company's business - will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the ultimate duration, severity and geographic spread of the virus and the success of actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. As the full magnitude of the effects on the Company's business is difficult to predict at this time, the
5
TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Covid-19 pandemic has and is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that cash flows from operations, access to the credit and capital markets and our credit lines, on-hand cash and cash equivalents and our investments provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for fiscal 2020 and beyond. There can be no assurance, however, that any such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The Company could experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, further charges from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, long-lived asset impairment charges, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable and reserves for the realizability of inventory. In addition, the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic could result in the establishment of additional valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has taken actions to reinforce its liquidity and financial flexibility. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020 the Company announced that it has suspended its quarterly dividend and all share repurchases for the foreseeable future.
In addition, and subsequent to March 28, 2020, the Company has taken other additional actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, actively reducing non-essential SG&A expense, reducing corporate compensation, terminating 2,100 part-time store associates, tightly managing inventory and reducing capital expenditures.
Furthermore, on March 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $700 million under its $900 million definitive credit agreement, as entered on October 24, 2019 ("Revolving Credit Facility") as a precautionary measure. If the Company's stores remain closed for an extended period of time, its liquidity may continue to be negatively impacted and it may need to draw additional funds from our Revolving Credit Facility or seek additional sources of financing, which may or may not be available. If the Company does not repay some or all of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company may be unable to maintain compliance with the leverage ratio financial covenant required by the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is actively seeking an amendment to the terms of the agreement from its lenders, however no assurances can be given that the amendment will be granted or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Non-compliance with its covenants would constitute an event of default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, which may result in an acceleration of payment to the lenders. In the event of an acceleration of payment to the lenders, this would result in a cross default of the Company’s notes payable (refer to Note 12, "Debt" for further information regarding the Company's outstanding notes payable), causing the Company’s outstanding borrowings to also become due and payable on demand. If the Company is not able to obtain such amendment, it expects, and has the ability to repay some or all of the $700 million borrowed against the Revolving Credit Facility, in order to prevent an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; reserves for the realizability of inventory; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; accounting for income taxes (including the impacts of tax legislation) and related uncertain tax positions; accounting for business combinations; the valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related expected forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring; and reserves for litigation and other contingencies, amongst others.
Share Repurchases
The Company accounts for share repurchases by allocating the repurchase price to common stock and retained earnings. As a result, all repurchased shares are authorized but unissued shares. Under Maryland law, the Company's state of incorporation, there are no treasury shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. Purchases of the Company's common stock are executed through open market purchases, including through a purchase agreement under Rule 10b5-1. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02") and related ASUs. This ASU requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases other than short-term leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients intended to ease transition whereby the Company need not reassess as of the adoption date (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to
combine non-lease components and lease components for real estate leases. The Company applied the provisions of ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements" ("ASU 2018-11"), allowing it to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.
The effects of the adoption on selected line items within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:

(1) | Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In conjunction with this recognition, the Company reclassified amounts to lease right-of-use assets including: prepaid rent from prepaid expenses; key money and lease right intangibles from current and long-term other assets; deferred rent, lease incentives, unfavorable lease right liability and other accrued rent from current and long-term other liabilities. In addition, upon adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized initial ROU asset balances of $ |

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

statements and notes thereto, however, does not expect a material impact resulting from this guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" ("ASU 2018-15"), which is intended to clarify the accounting for implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements which are deemed to be a service contract rather than a software license. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-15 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires companies to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The requirement of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
4. REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from sales of the products of its brands through retail and wholesale channels, including the Internet. The Company also generates revenue from royalties related to licensing its trademarks, as well as sales in ancillary channels. In all cases, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised products or services to the customer, which may be at a point in time or over time. Control is transferred when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, including estimation of sale terms that may create variability in the consideration. Revenue subject to variability is constrained to an amount which will not result in a significant reversal in future periods when the contingency that creates variability is resolved.
The Company recognizes revenue in its retail stores, including concession shop-in-shops, at the point-of-sale when the customer obtains physical possession of the products. Internet revenue from sales of products ordered through the Company's e-commerce sites is recognized upon delivery and receipt of the shipment by its customers and includes shipping and handling charges paid by customers. Retail and Internet revenues are recorded net of estimated returns, which are estimated by developing an expected value based on historical experience. Payment is due at the point of sale.
Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until redeemed by the customer, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company also uses historical information to estimate the amount of gift card balances that will never be redeemed
and recognizes that amount as revenue over time in proportion to actual customer redemptions if the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction as unclaimed property.
The Company recognizes revenue within the wholesale channel at the time title passes and risk of loss is transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment of products but may occur upon receipt of the shipment by the customer in certain cases. Payment is generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimates for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration provided to the customer. Discounts are based on contract terms with the customer, while cooperative advertising allowances and other consideration may be based on contract terms or negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Returns and markdowns generally require approval from the Company and are estimated based on historical trends, current season results and inventory positions at the wholesale locations, current market and economic conditions as well as, in select cases, contractual terms. The Company's historical estimates of these variable amounts have not differed materially from actual results.
The Company recognizes licensing revenue over time during the contract period in which licensees are granted access to the Company's trademarks. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty and may include a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Revenue for contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amounts is recognized ratably over the license year and any excess sales-based royalties are recognized as earned once the minimum royalty threshold is achieved. Payments from the customer are generally due quarterly in an amount based on the licensee's sales of goods bearing the licensed trademarks during the period, which may differ from the amount of revenue recorded during the period thereby generating a contract asset or liability. Contract assets and liabilities and contract costs related to the licensing arrangements are immaterial as the licensing business represents approximately 1 % of total net sales in the nine months ended March 28, 2020.
The Company has elected a practical expedient not to disclose the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the period related to contracts with an original duration of one year or less or variable consideration related to sales-based royalty arrangements. There are no other contracts with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than future minimum royalties as discussed above, which are not material.
Other practical expedients elected by the Company include (i) assuming no significant financing component exists for any contract with a duration of one year or less, (ii) accounting for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity within SG&A expense regardless of the timing of the shipment in relation to the transfer of control and (iii) excluding sales and value added tax from the transaction price.

6. ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal 2019 Acquisitions
Distributor Acquisitions
During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Southern China and Australia and of its Kate Spade distributor in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore.
The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisitions was $47.8 million, $44.0 million of which was cash consideration and the remaining is related to non-cash consideration. Of the $44.0 million of cash consideration, $43.5 million was paid during fiscal 2019 and the remaining will be paid in the future. Of the total purchase consideration of $47.8 million, $21.8 million of net assets were recorded at their fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as non-tax deductible goodwill in the amount of $26.0 million, of which $13.3 million was assigned to the Stuart Weitzman segment and $12.7 million was assigned to the Kate Spade segment. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for further information.
The purchase price allocation for these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is completed, however may be subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period for the respective acquisitions. The pro forma results are not presented for these acquisitions as they are immaterial.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Interim Impairment Assessment
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill as well as brand intangibles at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or if an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.
During the three months ended March 28, 2020, profitability trends continued to decline from those that were expected for the Stuart Weitzman brand. This reduction in both current and future expected cash flows was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decline in sales driven by full and partial closures of a significant portion of our stores globally. As a result of these macroeconomic conditions, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred during the third quarter, resulting in the need to perform a quantitative interim impairment assessment over the Company’s Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangible assets. The assessment concluded that the fair values of the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangible asset as of March 28, 2020 did not exceed their respective carrying values.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $210.7 million related to the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit, resulting in a full impairment. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $267.0 million related to the Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand, resulting in a full impairment. The goodwill and brand intangible impairment charges were recorded within total SG&A expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020.
The estimated fair value of the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit was based on a weighted average of the income and market approaches. The income approach is based on estimated discounted future cash flows, while the market approach is based on earnings multiples of selected guideline companies. The approach, which qualifies as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, incorporated a number of significant assumptions and judgments, including, but not limited to, estimated future cash flows, discount rates, income tax rates, terminal growth rates and valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly traded companies. In considering the excess of the fair value over its carrying value for the Coach and Kate Spade reporting units and indefinite-lived brand intangibles, management did not perform an interim assessment for these reporting units.

9. LEASES
The Company leases retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, distribution centers, storage space, machinery, equipment and certain other items under operating leases. The Company's leases have initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 years and may have renewal or early termination options ranging from 1 to 10 years. These leases may also include rent escalation clauses or lease incentives in the form of construction allowances and rent reduction. In determining the lease term used in the lease ROU asset and lease liability calculations, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal or termination options that may exist. When deemed reasonably certain, the renewal and termination options are included in the determination of the lease term and calculation of the lease ROU asset and lease liability. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments, variable rent payments primarily based on performance (i.e., percentage-of-sales-based payments), or a combination thereof, directly related to its ROU asset. The Company is also often required, by the lease, to pay for certain other costs including real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance fees, and/or certain other costs, which may be fixed or variable, depending upon the terms of the respective lease agreement. To the extent these payments are fixed, the Company has included them in calculating the lease ROU assets and lease liabilities.
The Company calculates lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as the present value of fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term beginning at the commencement date. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the implicit rate to determine the present value of lease payments. As the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term, currency, country, Company specific risk premium and adjustments for collateral.
For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases and impaired operating leases, the ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less ("short-term lease"), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over such term, and are not recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Variable lease cost for both operating and finance leases, if any, is recognized as incurred.
The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to a sublease of a portion the Company's leased headquarters space as well as certain retail locations. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.
ROU assets, along with any other related long-lived assets, are periodically evaluated for impairment.
The following table summarizes the ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 28, 2020:

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and any other potentially dilutive instruments, only in the periods in which such effects are dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Basic | $ | ( | ) | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ | |||||||
Diluted | $ | ( | ) | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ | |||||||
Earnings per share amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share. In addition, the Company has outstanding restricted stock unit awards that are issuable only upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition modifiers) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, there were 13.0 million and 11.3 million, respectively, of additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of PRSU awards granted during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 was $21.30 and $50.35 , respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility
On October 24, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of October 24, 2024. The Revolving Credit Facility refinanced and replaced the Company’s unsecured revolving facility dated May 30, 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper back-up). Letters of credit and swing line loans may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as described below. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 28, 2020. On March 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $700.0 million in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Organization" and Note 18, "Subsequent Events" for further information.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1 %) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid.
4.250% Senior Notes due 2025
On March 2, 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250 % senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445 % of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 beginning October 1, 2015. Prior to January 1, 2025 (90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100 % of

On and after January 1, 2025 (90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
3.000% Senior Notes due 2022
On June 20, 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000 % senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505 % of par (the "2022 Senior Notes").

Prior to April 15, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100 % of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been payable in respect of the 2027 Senior Notes calculated as if the maturity date of the 2027 Senior Notes was April 15, 2027 (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) plus 30 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
At March 28, 2020, the fair value of the 2025, 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $556.7 million, $388.5 million, and $474.2 million, respectively, based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and is classified as a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. At June 29, 2019, the fair value of the 2025, 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $629.6 million, $398.6 million and $605.5 million, respectively.
Note Payable
As a result of taking operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures in China, the Company has an outstanding Note Payable of $11.5 million and $11.4 million as of March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively, to the other partner of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures, to be paid in fiscal 2021.
13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not have any Level 3 investments.

Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt instruments.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering market participant assumptions.
During the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded a full impairment of $267.0 million to the Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand intangibles, and a full impairment of $210.7 million to goodwill pertaining to the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for further information.

TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Furthermore, when the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment, the assessment is performed for the related asset group that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of the cash flows of other assets. This determination requires a significant amount of judgment, and is dependent on the Company's overall operating strategy. The Company historically grouped select flagship locations with other stores located within the geographic area surrounding the flagship store as the Company believed the assets of the related group benefited from the Company's investments in the flagship location. Beginning in fiscal 2020, the Company began to (i) evaluate select flagship store closures across all brands, (ii) be more selective about new store openings as it focuses on store productivity and (iii) invest more significantly in growing its digital business and capabilities. Following this shift in strategy, during the quarter ended September 28, 2019, the Company determined for these certain flagship locations that the individual store represents the lowest level of independent identifiable cash flows.
As a result, the Company identified impairment indicators at certain flagship store locations and recorded lease ROU assets and property and equipment asset impairment charges. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators at various store locations globally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The fair value of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements. Inputs to these fair value measurements included estimates of the amounts and the timing of the stores' net future discounted cash flows based on historical experience, current trends and market conditions.
14. INVESTMENTS
The following table summarizes the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated investments, recorded within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019:

15. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 28, 2020, was calculated based on year to date results. The Company normally calculates the rate based on annual forecasted results (“annual effective tax rate method”). However, given the rapidly evolving Covid-19 pandemic and the difficulty predicting the full magnitude of the effects on the Company's forecasted results, it was determined that the historical method of calculating the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods would not provide a reliable estimate for the period ended March 28, 2020.
23
TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 28, 2020, was (10.8 %) as compared to 18.6 % for the nine months ended March 30, 2019. The negative rate resulted from tax expense being recorded on an overall operating loss for the period ended March 28, 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to certain goodwill and trade name impairments that were non-deductible for tax purposes and the overall decline in revenue.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letters of Credit
The Company had standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees totaling $33.2 million and $34.5 million outstanding at March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The agreements, which expire at various dates through calendar 2039, primarily collateralize the Company's obligation to third parties for duty, leases, insurance claims and materials used in product manufacturing. The Company pays certain fees with respect to these instruments that are issued.
Other
The Company had other contractual cash obligations as of March 28, 2020 related to debt repayments. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company's Chief Legal Officer and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s cash flow, results of operations or financial position.
17. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments:
• | Coach - Includes global sales of Coach brand products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet and concession shop-in-shops, sales to wholesale customers and through independent third party distributors. |
• | Kate Spade - Includes global sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers, through concession shop-in-shops and through independent third party distributors. |
• | Stuart Weitzman - Includes global sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products to customers primarily through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet, sales to wholesale customers and through numerous independent third party distributors. |
In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, the Company's chief operating decision maker regularly evaluates the sales and operating income of these segments. Operating income is the gross margin of the segment less direct expenses of the segment.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 25, 2020, the Company elected to draw down $700 million in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Facility. The draw down was funded to the Company on March 30, 2020. The Company elected to borrow under the Credit Agreement as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the Covid-19 outbreak. The draw-down proceeds from the Credit Agreement are expected to be held on the Company’s balance sheet and may be used for general corporate purposes.
Furthermore, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has taken other actions to reinforce its liquidity and financial flexibility. Specific actions that the Company is undertaking include, but are not limited to, actively reducing non-essential SG&A expense, reducing corporate compensation, terminating 2,100 part-time store associates, tightly managing inventory, reducing capital expenditures, in addition to suspending its quarterly dividend and all share repurchases for the foreseeable future which was announced during the third fiscal quarter. Refer to Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Organization" for further information.

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

Recent Developments and Initiatives
Strategic Initiatives
Tapestry began fiscal 2020 with a focus on profitable growth through innovation, global expansion, investing in digital capabilities, and harnessing the power of a multi-brand model. However, in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("Covid-19") was reported to have surfaced and officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The virus has had significant impacts on our business globally. As a result, while the Company remains confident in its long-term strategy, its short-term focus has pivoted towards adapting to these challenges.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 virus has impacted regions all around the world, resulting in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities. Consequently, the spread of Covid-19 has caused significant global business disruptions, including full and partial store closures. Tapestry temporarily closed the majority of its stores on mainland China in January 2020, which have all been reopened by April 2020. Tapestry temporarily closed all directly operated stores in North America and Europe as of March 2020, as well as some stores in the Asia-Pacific region by April 2020, to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. Many of our wholesale and licensing partners have also been impacted by the spread of the virus, resulting in decreased demand and shipments through this channel.
In response to this challenging environment, the Company's focus is on the following actions:
A Focus on Revenue
• | Re-opening stores in China as quickly as possible, while following governmental and public health guidelines; and |
• | Aggressively leaning into the global digital opportunity for all brands. Ensuring that our e-commerce platforms and distribution centers remain operational across all major regions. |
27
Eliminating Non-Essential Operating Costs Across All Key Areas of Spend
• | Driving SG&A savings through the right-sizing of marketing expenses to adjust to the lower revenue base, while maintaining a focus on digital; reducing fixed costs such as rent; driving procurement savings, including reducing external third party services. |
Strengthening the Company’s Balance Sheet and Enhancing Financial Flexibility
• | Tightly managing inventories by reflowing late spring and early summer product introductions and cancelling inventory receipts for late summer/early fall 2020; and |
• | Reducing capital expenditures by delaying or cancelling new store openings, while prioritizing investment in high-return projects aligned with the multi-year growth agenda, notably in digital. |
Preserving Liquidity
• | Drawing down $700 million from its $900 million Revolving Credit Facility to add to cash balances; |
• | Suspending its quarterly cash dividend beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020; and |
• | Suspending its share repurchase program. |
Addressing Organizational Costs
• | Reducing our retail workforce in North America by approximately 2,100 part-time store associates across the three brands; |
• | Applying for available government payroll subsidy programs in various countries to mitigate payroll expense; |
• | A 50% reduction in cash compensation for the Board of Directors, a 50% reduction of salary for its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jide Zeitlin, and salary reductions of 5% to 20%, depending on salary level, for all North America corporate employees above a certain salary threshold. Tapestry plans to achieve similar compensation reductions outside North America through similar measures; |
• | Cancellation of our Annual Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2020, which will result in no bonuses being paid for the current fiscal year; and |
• | Elimination of merit salary increases for all employees for fiscal year 2021. |
In addition, we are working to identify long-term efficiency opportunities by accelerating the work that was already underway as part of our multi-year growth agenda. As part of this initiative, to create an agile operating model, we anticipate making additional changes in the short-term which will result in a streamlined organization, including reductions in the corporate workforce. We believe that these actions will result in further cost savings and will enable Tapestry to be more responsive to the rapidly changing retail environment.
The Company will continue to consider near-term exigencies and the long-term financial health of the business as clear steps are taken to mitigate the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fiscal 2020 Impairments
During fiscal 2020, Stuart Weitzman results continued to be negatively impacted by trailing impacts of operational challenges which occurred in 2018. While the Company addressed these challenges through investment in talent, operational process improvements, and a focus on the fashion sensibility of the core design aesthetic, the Brand experienced a reduction in demand. This reduction in cash flows as well as future expected cash flows was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decline in sales driven by full and partial closures of a significant portion of our stores globally. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $210.7 million of impairment charges to goodwill and $267.0 million of impairment charges to indefinite-lived brand intangible assets for the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit. Refer to "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates," herein, for further information.
During the first quarter and third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $75.6 million and $75.1 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to store assets, inclusive of lease assets as well as purchase commitments. Impairment charges recorded in the first quarter related to an accounting policy change made in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, whereas the impairment charges recorded in the third quarter were primarily driven by lower cash flows due to Covid-19. Refer to Note 13, "Fair Value Measurements," and Note 17, "Segment Information," for further information.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $104.0 million of increases in inventory reserves, similarly driven by current and expected changes to operations as a result of Covid-19.
28
Corporate and Retail Workforce Reduction
As part of Tapestry’s multi-year growth agenda, the Company announced additional actions to streamline its organization, including reductions in its corporate and retail workforce. In aggregate, the Company expects to incur pre-tax charges associated with these actions of approximately $55-$70 million, primarily related to cash severance costs, which will be reflected beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2021. These charges will be recorded within SG&A expenses. These actions will allow Tapestry to emerge as a global, consumer-centric company, with a more agile organizational structure that will be more responsive to the rapidly changing retail environment.
ERP Implementation
During fiscal 2018, the Company implemented a global consolidation system which provides a common platform for financial reporting, a point-of-sale system for Coach in North America as well as a human resource information system for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman employees. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance and accounting systems for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance, accounting, supply chain and human resource information systems for Kate Spade. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company deployed the final major phase of its ERP Implementation, specifically, the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman.
Organization-related and Integration Costs
During fiscal 2019, the Company acquired certain distributors for the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands. The operating results of the respective entities have been consolidated in the Company's operating results commencing on the date of each acquisition. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company incurred charges related to the integration of the businesses. These charges are primarily associated with organization-related costs, professional fees, one-time write-off of inventory and limited life purchase accounting adjustments. The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $5 million in pre-tax charges, of which the majority are expected to be cash charges, for the remainder of fiscal 2020.
Refer to Note 5, "Integration," Note 6, "Acquisitions," and the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.
Change in Chief Executive Officer
On September 4, 2019, the Company announced that Victor Luis departed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of September 3, 2019. On September 4, 2019, the Company named Jide Zeitlin, Chairman of the Board of Directors, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with Mr. Luis’s departure, the Company and Mr. Luis entered into a separation and mutual release agreement.
Current Trends and Outlook
The environment in which we operate is subject to a number of different factors driving global consumer spending. Consumer preferences, macroeconomic conditions, foreign currency fluctuations and geopolitical events continue to impact overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items, with inconsistent patterns across channels and geographies.
As previously noted, Covid-19 was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The virus has impacted regions all around the world, resulting in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities. These requirements have resulted in full and partial store closures globally, causing a significant reduction in sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, with some level of ongoing closures anticipated. Covid-19 may also cause disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, resulting in facility closures, labor instability, potential inability to source raw materials and disrupted operating procedures in attempts to curb the spread of Covid-19 within our third-party manufacturers, distribution centers, and other vendors. The Company’s e-commerce sites continue to operate, subject to the local guidance related to Covid-19 surrounding our distribution centers.
The disruptions related to Covid-19 have materially adversely impacted our operations, cash flow, and liquidity. There is uncertainty around the duration of these disruptions and the possibility of other effects on the business. We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation pertaining to the Covid-19 outbreak, including guidance from international and domestic authorities. In these circumstances, the Company will need to make adjustments to our operating plan. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further information.
Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, observed that global expansion has declined significantly in the last year and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has negatively shocked the global economy, contributing to further anticipated declines for the remainder of calendar 2020. These organizations expect the economy to recover slightly next year, under the assumption that economic activity begins to normalize paired with support from local policymakers. Even so, the current global outlook remains uncertain as projected recoveries are critically dependent on the return
29
of consumer and investor confidence through a fading pandemic as well as effective policy support. Consequently, it is still too early to understand the magnitude and kind of sustained impact Covid-19 will have on consumer discretionary spending.
Furthermore, currency volatility, political instability and potential changes to trade agreements may contribute to a worsening of the macroeconomic environment. During fiscal 2020, Hong Kong SAR, China has been the subject of worsening political unrest, as demonstrated through ongoing public demonstrations and protests, which has impacted and is expected to continue to impact our business. Furthermore, during fiscal 2019 and continuing into fiscal 2020, the Trump Administration and China have both imposed new tariffs on the importation of certain product categories into the respective country. We expect these changes to have a modest impact on gross margin in fiscal 2020. Continued increases in trade tensions could impact the Company's ability to grow its business with the Chinese consumer globally.
Additional macroeconomic impacts include but are not limited to the United Kingdom ("U.K.") voting to leave the European Union ("E.U."), commonly known as "Brexit." On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty formally starting a 2 year negotiation period with the E.U., which was subsequently extended to January 31, 2020. The U.K. officially terminated its membership of the E.U. on January 31, 2020 under the terms of a withdrawal agreement concluded between the U.K. and E.U. and has now entered into a transition phase until December 31, 2020. During the transition phase, the U.K. will generally continue operating as if it were still a member of the E.U. Trade talks between the E.U. and U.K., to determine their future relationship, are still underway. If a trade deal is not reached by December 31, 2020, absent a request by June 30, 2020 to extend the transition period, the U.K. can expect checks and tariffs on products going to and coming from the E.U. beginning on January 1, 2021.
We will continue to monitor these trends and evaluate and adjust our operating strategies and cost management opportunities to mitigate the related impact on our results of operations, while remaining focused on the long-term growth of our business and protecting the value of our brands.
For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" herein and Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019.

Tapestry, Inc. Summary – Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020
Currency Fluctuation Effects
The change in net sales and gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019 has been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects.
Net Sales
Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 19.4% or $258.7 million to $1.07 billion. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, net sales decreased by 19.4% or $259.0 million. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, the net sales decrease was driven by Coach, Stuart Weitzman and Kate Spade.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 32.7% or $299.7 million to $616.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $915.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 57.4% as compared to 68.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $104.0 million and $5.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, as discussed in the "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" herein, gross profit decreased 21.8% or $200.7 million to $720.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and gross margin decreased 210 basis points to 67.1% compared to 69.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in gross profit was driven by a decrease in Coach of $154.1 million, in Kate Spade of $27.4 million and in Stuart Weitzman of $19.2 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company includes inbound product-related transportation costs from our service providers within Cost of sales. The Company, similar to some companies, includes certain transportation-related costs due to our distribution network in SG&A expenses rather than in Cost of sales; for this reason, our gross margins may not be comparable to that of entities that include all costs related to their distribution network in Cost of sales.
SG&A expenses, which include the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as well as other expenses, increased 61.5% or $495.6 million to $1.30 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $806.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $549.9 million and $30.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses decreased 3.1% or $24.0 million to $751.8 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Coach of $26.1 million and Corporate expenses of $4.5 million, partially offset by increases in Kate Spade of $4.2 million and Stuart Weitzman of $2.4 million.
Corporate expenses, which are included within SG&A expenses discussed above but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, decreased 16.8% or $20.5 million to $101.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $122.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $5.7 million and $21.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses decreased 4.5% or $4.5 million to $95.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $100.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by lower compensation costs.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income decreased $795.3 million to an operating loss of $685.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to operating income of $109.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Operating margin was (63.9)% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 8.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $653.9 million and $35.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, operating income decreased $176.7 million to an operating loss of $31.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from an operating income of $145.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin decreased to (2.9)% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 10.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by decreases within Coach of $128.0 million, Kate Spade of $31.6 million and Stuart Weitzman of $21.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate expenses of $4.5 million.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased 26.6% or $2.9 million to $13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $10.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense increased $2.0 million to $6.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to expense of $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in other expense is related to an increase in foreign exchange losses.
34
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 4.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to (23.4)% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, the effective tax rate was (48.2)% in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to 6.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a decline in revenue.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income decreased $794.5 million to a net loss of $677.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to a net income of $117.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, net income decreased $197.5 million to a net loss of $75.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to a net income of $121.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower operating income.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net loss per diluted share was $2.45 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.40 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, net loss per diluted share was $0.27 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.42 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This change was primarily due to lower net income.

Coach Net Sales decreased 20.0% or $192.5 million to $772.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Coach net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were not materially impacted by foreign currency. This decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to a net decline of $187.0 million in retail sales globally due to full and partial store closures related to the Covid-19 outbreak, which was partially offset by an increase in e-commerce sales in North America and mainland China. Wholesale sales also declined $6.8 million due to lower demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Coach Gross Profit decreased 31.2% or $216.0 million to $475.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $691.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased to 61.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 71.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $61.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, gross profit decreased 22.3% or $154.1 million to $537.6 million from $691.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased 210 basis points to 69.6% from 71.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currency in both periods, gross margin decreased 170 basis points. This decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the impact of product costing and unfavorable channel mix.
Coach SG&A Expenses decreased 3.3% or $15.2 million to $437.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $452.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 56.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 46.9% during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $16.4 million and $5.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses decreased 5.8% or $26.1 million to $421.2 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 54.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 46.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in SG&A expenses was driven by lower variable selling costs.
Coach Operating Income decreased 84.0% or $200.8 million to $38.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of 4.9%, as compared to $238.9 million and 24.8%, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, Coach operating income decreased 52.4% or $128.0 million to $116.4 million from $244.4 million

in the third quarter of fiscal 2019; and operating margin was 15.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to 25.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Kate Spade Net Sales decreased 11.2% or $31.6 million to $249.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 11.4% or $32.1 million. This decrease is primarily due to a decline of $29.3 million in retail sales mainly in North America due to full and partial store closures related to the Covid-19 outbreak. Furthermore, wholesale sales declined $3.7 million due to lower demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Kate Spade Gross Profit decreased 31.2% or $55.4 million to $122.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $177.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased to 49.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 63.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $32.3 million and $4.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, gross profit decreased 15.0% or $27.4 million to $154.8 million from $182.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and gross margin decreased 280 basis points to 62.0% from 64.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease in gross margin is primarily due to promotional activity, unfavorable channel mix and the impact of directly operating the footwear business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses, which include the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as well as other expenses, increased 25.2% or $605.3 million to $3.01 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to $2.41 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

The decrease in operating income is driven by a decrease in Coach of $115.7 million and Kate Spade of $84.9 million, an increase in operating loss in Stuart Weitzman of $25.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate expenses of $5.3 million.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $2.9 million to $39.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense increased $8.4 million to $12.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to expense of $4.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in other expense is related to an increase in foreign exchange losses.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 5.1% or $163.3 million. This decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to a net decline of $153.0 million in retail sales due to full and partial store closures related to the Covid-19 outbreak, partially offset by an increase in e-commerce in North America and mainland China. Wholesale sales also declined $12.1 million due to lower demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.

This decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower variable selling costs.
Coach Operating Income decreased 26.9% or $228.0 million to $620.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of 20.6%, as compared to $848.4 million and 26.7%, respectively, in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 4.9% or $51.1 million. The decrease in net sales is driven by a decline of $58.9 million in retail sales mainly in North America due to full and partial store closures related to the Covid-19 outbreak, as well as a decline in traffic in North America in the first half of the fiscal year. This was partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in wholesale sales driven by disposition sales in a plan to work through excess inventory.

Excluding items affecting comparability of $33.5 million and $5.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and of fiscal 2019, respectively, Kate Spade gross profit decreased 8.1% or $53.5 million to $609.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $663.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased 220 basis points to 61.9% from 64.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. This gross margin decrease of 220 basis points was primarily due to unfavorable channel mix and promotional activity.
Kate Spade SG&A Expenses increased 17.2% or $89.1 million to $607.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $517.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 61.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 50.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $67.8 million and $10.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 6.2% or $31.4 million to $539.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 54.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from 49.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. This increase in SG&A expenses was due to new store openings, increased marketing expenses, and the timing of store impairment charges.
Kate Spade Operating Income decreased $170.7 million to an operating loss of $30.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, resulting in an operating margin of (3.1)%, as compared to an operating income of $140.1 million and 13.5%, respectively, in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, Kate Spade operating income decreased 54.5% or $84.9 million to $70.7 million from $155.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019; and operating margin was 7.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 15.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. This decrease in operating income was due a decrease in gross profit and higher SG&A expenses.

Stuart Weitzman Net Sales decreased 16.8% or $51.3 million to $252.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 16.0% or $48.6 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower shipments in the wholesale business of $50.4 million primarily due to a decline in demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. This decrease was partially offset by growth in the retail business of $2.9 million primarily attributable to new store openings and the direct ownership of the businesses in Australia, partially offset by full and partial store closures related to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Stuart Weitzman Gross Profit decreased 19.1% or $31.6 million to $133.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $165.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Gross margin decreased 150 basis points to 52.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from 54.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $14.1 million and $1.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, Stuart Weitzman gross profit decreased 11.5% or $19.2 million to $147.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $166.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, and gross margin increased 350 basis points to 58.3% from 54.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross margin increased 210 basis points primarily due to favorable channel mix.
Stuart Weitzman SG&A Expenses increased $486.9 million to $673.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to $186.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability of $492.8 million and $12.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 3.7% or $6.3 million to $181.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. This increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to new store openings, the direct ownership of the business in Australia and increased bad debt reserves, partially offset by lower compensation and marketing expenses.
Stuart Weitzman Operating Loss increased $518.5 million to an operating loss of $540.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, as compared to an operating loss of $21.9 million in first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding items affecting comparability, Stuart Weitzman operating loss increased $25.5 million to an operating loss of $33.5 million from operating loss of $8.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. This increase in operating loss was due to a decrease in gross profit and higher SG&A expenses.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The reported gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, provision for income taxes, net income and earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 reflect certain items, including the impact of Tax Legislation in fiscal 2019, the impact of ERP Implementation, Organization-related and Integration and Acquisition costs in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 and Impairment charges in fiscal 2020. As a supplement to the Company's reported results, these metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the impact of these items, along with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
The Company has historically reported comparable store sales, which reflects sales performance at stores that have been open for at least 12 months, and includes sales from the Internet. The Company excludes new stores, including newly acquired locations, from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operation. The Company excludes closed stores from the calculation. Comparable store sales are not adjusted for store expansions. Due to extensive full and partial store closures resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, comparable store sales are not reported for the three or nine months ended March 28, 2020 as the Company does not believe this metric is currently meaningful to the readers of its financial statements for this period.
These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s internal management reporting excluded these items. In addition, the Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board uses these non-GAAP measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.
The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues and profit. Accordingly, certain material increases and decreases in operating results for the Company and its segments have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects. These effects occur from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars and comparing to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency revenue results by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year period's currency conversion rate.
We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, we believe presenting certain increases and decreases in constant currency provides a framework for assessing the performance of the Company's business outside the United States and helps investors and analysts understand the effect of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations. We believe excluding these items assists investors and others in developing expectations of future performance.
By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
For a detailed discussion on these non-GAAP measures, see Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $226.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to a decrease of $168.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, as discussed below.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $156.7 million due to lower net income of $852.8 million, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $37.7 million and higher non-cash adjustments of $658.4 million.
The $37.7 million decrease in changes in operating asset and liability balances were primarily driven by the following:
• | Other assets were a source of cash of $19.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $54.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily related to the timing of tax related payments. |
• | Accounts payable were a use of cash of $18.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $43.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily due to higher in-transit inventory for Coach. |
• | Accounts receivable were a source of cash of $75.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a source of cash of $50.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by lower sales related to full and partial store closures related to Covid-19. |
• | Other liabilities were a use of cash of $37.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $61.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily related to the timing of tax payments. |
• | Accrued liabilities were a use of cash of $31.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to a source of cash of $29.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by the timing of payments to vendors. |
• | Inventories were a use of cash of $171.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a use of cash of $123.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by a higher inventory on-hand due to a decrease in sales related to full and partial store closures related to Covid-19 and higher in-transit inventory for Coach. |
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $69.2 million as compared to a use of cash of $477.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, resulting in a $408.5 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities.
The $69.2 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 is primarily due to cash used for purchases of investments of $212.4 million in the nine months of fiscal 2020 and capital expenditures of $172.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of investments of $316.1 million.
The $477.7 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 is primarily due net cash used for purchases, maturities and sales of investments of $254.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and capital expenditures of $184.2 million.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $603.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to a use of cash of $287.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, resulting in a net increase in use of cash for financing activities of $315.2 million.
The $603.1 million of cash used in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to repurchases of common stock of 300.0 million and dividend payments of $287.1 million.
46
The $287.9 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily due to dividend payments of $292.8 million.
Working Capital and Capital Expenditures
As of March 28, 2020, in addition to our cash flows from operations, our sources of liquidity and capital resources were comprised of the following:

(1) | As of March 28, 2020, approximately 46% of our cash and short-term investments were held outside the United States. The Company will likely repatriate some portion of available foreign cash in the foreseeable future, and has recorded deferred taxes on certain earnings of non-US subsidiaries that are deemed likely to be repatriated. |
(2) | In October 2019, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of October 24, 2024 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility refinanced and replaced the Company’s unsecured revolving facility dated May 30, 2017. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 28, 2020. On March 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $700.0 million in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 12, "Debt" for further information on our existing debt instruments and Note 18, "Subsequent Events" for further information on the draw down. |
(3) In March 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Furthermore, in June 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505% of par (the "2022 Senior Notes"), and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2027 at 99.858% of par (the "2027 Senior Notes"). Furthermore, the indentures for the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes contain certain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) merge, or consolidate or transfer, sell or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of March 28, 2020, no known events of default have occurred. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.
We believe that our Revolving Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentrations in any one financial institution. As of March 28, 2020, there were 12 financial institutions participating in the Revolving Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a combined maximum commitment percentage in excess of 14%.
We have the ability to draw on our credit facilities or access other sources of financing options available to us in the credit and capital markets for, among other things, acquisition or integration-related costs, our restructuring initiatives, settlement of a material contingency, or a material adverse business or macroeconomic development, as well as for other general corporate business purposes.
Management believes that cash flows from operations, access to the credit and capital markets and our credit lines, on-hand cash and cash equivalents and our investments provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service
47
requirements for fiscal 2020 and beyond. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on future operating performance and cash flow. This future operating performance and cash flow are subject to prevailing economic conditions, which is uncertain as a result of Covid-19, and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
Additionally, on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law by the President of the United States. The CARES Act provides relief for U.S. corporations including, but not limited to, payroll relief (through the retention tax credit and deferral of employer social security payments), modifying net operating loss carryback periods, deferral of federal tax filing and payments and certain financing opportunities. We continue to examine the CARES Act for applicable provisions that provide relief to the Company, however, the total impact on the business is currently uncertain.
Furthermore, in response to the uncertainty, the Company has taken other actions to reinforce its liquidity and financial flexibility. Specific actions that the Company is undertaking include, but are not limited to, actively reducing non-essential SG&A expense, reducing corporate compensation, terminating 2,100 part-time store associates, tightly managing inventory, reducing capital expenditures, as well as suspending its quarterly dividend and all share repurchases for the foreseeable future.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources. The Company expects total fiscal 2020 capital expenditures to be approximately $200 - 225 million.
Seasonality
The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we build inventory for the holiday selling season. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as we generate higher net sales and operating income, especially during the holiday months of November and December. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales, operating income and operating cash flows for the three months ended March 28, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of that expected for the full fiscal 2020. However, fluctuations in net sales, operating income and operating cash flows of the Company in any fiscal quarter may be affected by the timing of wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales, including adverse weather conditions or other macroeconomic events.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2019 10-K. Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts.
For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our fiscal 2019 10-K. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we adopted new lease accounting guidance which resulted in certain changes to our accounting policies. Refer to Note 9, "Leases," for additional information about our accounting policies and estimates. As of March 28, 2020, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies other than the changes mentioned above.
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill as well as brand intangibles at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determined that there was no impairment in fiscal 2019. During the three months ended March 28, 2020, profitability trends continued to decline from those that were expected for the Stuart Weitzman brand. This reduction in both current and future expected cash flows was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decline in sales driven by full and partial closures of a significant portion of our stores globally. As a result of these macroeconomic conditions, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred during the quarter, resulting in the need to perform a quantitative interim impairment assessment over the Company’s Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangible assets. The assessment concluded that the fair values of the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangible asset as of March 28, 2020 did not exceed their respective carrying values. In considering the excess of the fair value over its carrying value for the Coach and Kate Spade reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangibles, management did not perform an interim assessment for these reporting units.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $210.7 million related to the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit, resulting in a full impairment. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $267.0 million related to the Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand, resulting in a full impairment.
In all fiscal years, the fair values of our Coach brand reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. The fair values of the Kate Spade brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand as of the fiscal 2019 testing date exceeded their
48
respective carrying values by approximately 21% and 61%, respectively. Several factors could impact the Kate Spade brand's ability to achieve expected future cash flows, including continued economic volatility and operational challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the reception of new collections in all channels, the success of international expansion strategies including the direct operation of certain previous distributor and joint venture businesses, the optimization of the store fleet productivity, the impact of promotional activity in department stores, and the simplification of certain corporate overhead structures and other initiatives aimed at increasing profitability of the business. Given the relatively small excess of fair value over carrying value as noted above, if profitability trends decline from those that are expected, it is possible that an interim test, or our annual impairment test, could result in an impairment of these assets.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with the Company's risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The quantitative disclosures in the following discussion are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our foreign currency exchange risk is limited. The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its operating subsidiaries’ transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To mitigate such risk, certain subsidiaries enter into forward currency contracts. As of March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019, forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $459.3 million and $398.4 million, respectively, were outstanding. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to the derivative instruments will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into derivative contracts with carefully selected financial institutions. The Company also reviews the creditworthiness of our counterparties on a regular basis. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to any undue concentration of counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts as of March 28, 2020.
The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans and payables. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi, the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019 the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans were $324.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was $6.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was $4.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A sensitivity analysis of the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the fair values of our derivative contracts was performed to assess the risk of loss.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility entered into under the credit agreement dated October 24, 2019, the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes") and investments. The Company was also exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility, which was terminated on October 24, 2019.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to (i) debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility entered into on October 24, 2019. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as set forth in the credit agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus operating lease liability to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Furthermore, a prolonged disruption on our business resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic may impact our ability to satisfy the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, including our leverage ratio. The Company is actively seeking an amendment to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility from its lenders, however no assurances can be given that the amendment will be granted, or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Refer to Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Organization" for further information.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the Senior Notes. At March 28, 2020, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $557 million, $389 million and $474 million, respectively. At June 29, 2019, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $630 million, $399 million and $606 million, respectively. These fair values are based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate payable on the 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if the credit rating assigned to the respective Senior Notes of such series is downgraded.
The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which defines our investment principles including credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 28, 2020.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02. As such, the Company implemented new controls and modifications to existing accounting processes related to lease accounting. These changes include the upgrade to a new lease accounting system and introduction of processes to evaluate and account for lease contracts under the new accounting standard.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed the first phase of its ERP implementation, SAP’s S4/HANA, migrating the global finance functions for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman. The finance and supply chain functions were implemented for Kate Spade during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, with the supply chain functions for Coach and Stuart Weitzman implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. As a result of the implementations to date, there were certain changes to processes and procedures, which resulted in changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The implementation of SAP’s S4/HANA is expected to strengthen the financial controls by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across the organization. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the internal controls over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. Other than the ERP system implementation and adoption of the new lease accounting standard noted above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 28, 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 |
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Tapestry's intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the Company’s control, and litigation with present or former employees.
As part of Tapestry Inc.’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Company files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Tapestry may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Tapestry’s intellectual properties.
Although the Company’s litigation as a defendant is routine and incidental to the conduct of Tapestry’s business, as well as for any business of its size, such litigation can result in large monetary awards, such as when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages.
The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material effect on the Company's business or condensed consolidated financial statements.
Tapestry has not entered into any transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. Accordingly, we have not been required to pay a penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019 includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since those reported in our Annual Report.
The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions are and may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“Covid-19”) continues to grow worldwide, impacting a significant majority of the regions in which we operate. In March 2020, the outbreak was labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. National, state and local governments have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, by declaring states of emergency, restricting people from gathering in groups or interacting within a certain physical distance (i.e., social distancing), requiring individuals to stay at home, and in most cases, ordering non-essential businesses to close or limit operations. The majority of the Company’s stores in the mainland China were closed in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, but have essentially all re-opened by the end of the quarter. Also in March 2020, the Company closed all of its stores in North America and Europe, and many in the Asia Pacific region. Many of the Company’s wholesale partners have also closed their bricks and mortar stores and have substantially reduced their operations. These closures have materially adversely impacted our operations, cash flow and liquidity.
Although the ultimate severity and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is uncertain at this time and depends on future events outside of our control, our business is expected to continue to be adversely impacted by several factors, including, but not limited to:
• | The potential economic effects of the pandemic, including a possible recession, increased unemployment and decreased consumer credit availability, may result in lower consumer confidence and decreased disposable income and discretionary spending levels, which may lead to reduced sales of our products. Unfavorable economic conditions and sustained travel restrictions may also reduce consumers’ willingness and ability to travel to major cities and vacation destinations in which the Company’s stores are located. Furthermore, reduced discretionary spending may result in an excess of inventory throughout the industry, which could lead to increased pressure on our gross margin in the near term if the Company has to increase promotional activity above its normal levels to sell through its existing product. |
• | Subsequent to the Company’s stores resuming normal operations, social distancing measures and general consumer behaviors due to the Covid-19 pandemic may continue to impact mall and store traffic, which may have a further negative impact on our business. Furthermore, declines in traffic beyond our current exceptions could result in additional impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value. |
52
• | The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in disruption to the financial markets and caused significant volatility and adverse impact on the value of our common stock. On March 30, 2020, we borrowed $700 million under our $900 million Revolving Credit Facility. If our stores remain closed for an extended period of time, our liquidity may continue to be negatively impacted and we may need to draw additional funds from our Revolving Credit Facility or seek additional sources of financing, which may or may not be available. In addition, a prolonged disruption on our business may impact our ability to satisfy the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, including our leverage ratio. Non-compliance with our leverage ratio covenant would constitute an event of default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, which may result in an acceleration of payment to the lenders. In the event of an acceleration of payment to the lenders, this would result in a cross default of the Company’s Senior Notes, causing the Company’s outstanding borrowings to also become due and payable on demand. The Company is actively seeking an amendment to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility from its lenders, however no assurances can be given that the amendment will be granted, or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. In addition, it is possible that the interest rate payable on our 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the respective Senior Notes of such series. |
• | While we are making significant efforts to reduce our non-essential SG&A expenses, including but not limited to, through discussions with our landlords and other vendors to obtain rent and other relief, we may not be successful in these endeavors and may be subject to continued expenses and potential litigation or claims from such landlords and vendors. |
• | We continue to sell products for our brands through our e-commerce sites and the majority of our distribution centers remain open and operational through the date of this report; however, such distribution centers may be forced to close or limit operations due to governmental mandates, health and safety concerns, or illness or absence of a substantial number of distribution center employees. Our third party logistics providers may also experience delays in fulfilling our orders to our customers. |
• | We source and manufacture our products on a global scale and may experience material temporary or long-term disruption in our supply chain, given the global reach of the Covid-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions, closures or disruptions of business and facilities or social, economic, political or labor instability in the affected areas may impact the operations of our raw material suppliers or manufacturing partners. |
The global Covid-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving and the extent to which this impacts our results - including unforeseen increased costs to our business - will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the ultimate duration, severity and geographic spread of the virus and the success of actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. While the full magnitude of the effects on our business is difficult to predict at this time, the Covid-19 pandemic has and is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. As of March 28, 2020, the Company had $600 million availability remaining in the stock repurchase program. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
