On October 27, 2020, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Joanne Crevoiserat, age 56, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of October 27, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). Ms. Crevoiserat will serve as the Company’s principal executive officer. Ms. Crevoiserat has served as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer since July 21, 2020.  Prior to this role, she served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since August 2019. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Crevoiserat was Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Abercrombie & Fitch Co. from February 2017 to June 2019. She joined Abercrombie & Fitch in May 2014 as Chief Financial Officer and also served as Executive Vice President, CFO and COO, and Interim Principal Executive Officer during her tenure with the company. Prior to joining Abercrombie & Fitch, she served in a number of senior management roles at Kohl’s Corporation including Executive Vice President of Finance and Executive Vice President of Merchandise Planning and Allocation. Prior to her time with Kohl’s, Ms. Crevoiserat held senior finance positions with Wal-Mart Stores and May Department Stores, including Chief Financial Officer of the Filene’s, Foley’s and Famous-Barr brands. She is a graduate of the University of Connecticut where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance.

Ms. Crevoiserat will be an employee at-will of the Company, meaning either Ms. Crevoiserat or the Company may terminate Ms. Crevoiserat’s employment at any time, although Ms. Crevoiserat is required to provide the Company with six months’ advance written notice of her intention to resign.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Ms. Crevoiserat will receive a base salary of $1,300,000 per year, which will be temporarily reduced by 20% as part of the Company-wide salary reductions that were announced in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 20, 2020 for so long as such salary reductions are in effect. See “Salary Reinstatement Actions” below for information on the Company-wide salary reductions.  She will be eligible for a target bonus of 175% of salary actually paid under the Company’s Performance-Based Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP), starting on the Effective Date (with payment ranging from 0-200% of target subject to performance). Ms. Crevoiserat’s bonus for the portion of fiscal year 2021 prior to the Effective Date will be based on her target bonus percentage in effect at that time. The actual amount of this bonus will be based on the Company attaining criteria determined by the Company’s Board in accordance with the terms of the Performance-Based Annual Incentive Plan. All performance-based compensation paid to Ms. Crevoiserat is subject to the Company’s incentive repayment policy applicable in the event of a material restatement of the Company’s financial results.

Ms. Crevoiserat will receive appointment equity awards under the Amended and Restated Tapestry, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan with an aggregate grant date value of $3,500,000 (the “Appointment Grant”).  The Appointment Grant will be made up of stock options that will vest ratably over four years and performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) that are eligible to vest on the second anniversary of the grant date based on the Company’s achievement of performance goals established by the Company’s Board. Ms. Crevoiserat will be required to retain all of the net shares earned upon vesting of the PRSUs for two years following the vesting date.

Ms. Crevoiserat has a guideline annual equity grant with a fair market value on the grant date of $6,500,000 for fiscal year 2022, to be granted in a fixed proportion of different equity vehicles as determined by the Board and normally granted in August, which may include PRSUs, stock options and/or restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

If the Company terminates Ms. Crevoiserat’s employment without “Cause”, or if she resigns for “Good Reason” (as each such term is defined in the Letter Agreement), she will be eligible to receive (i) cash severance equal to twenty-four (24) months of base salary, (ii) a pro-rated portion of her AIP bonus for the fiscal year in which any termination occurs, based on actual Company performance, to be paid on the regular AIP payout date, and (iii) payment of her AIP bonus on the regular payout date for AIP that was earned and payable for the prior fiscal year based on actual performance, which has not been paid as of the date of termination. Ms. Crevoiserat will be subject to the noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants set forth in the Agreement, both during her employment with the Company as well as during the twenty-four (24) months following termination.


There are no family relationships between Ms. Crevoiserat and any director or executive officer of the Company and she has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next annual report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company recorded the following on a reported basis:

  • Acceleration Program: $27 million of pre-tax charges primarily associated with professional fees incurred as a result of the development and execution of the Company’s comprehensive strategic initiatives, as well as actions to streamline the Company's organization, which includes severance. The Company continues to expect to incur total charges of $185 to $200 million over the life of the Acceleration Program, including $75 to $90 million in remaining charges. The majority of these future costs are estimated to be cash and recorded primarily in fiscal 2021.

Taken together, on a reported basis, these items decreased the Company’s operating income by $27 million, while increasing net income and earnings per diluted share by $71 million and $0.25, respectively. Please refer to the financial tables included herein for a detailed reconciliation of the Company’s reported to non-GAAP results.

Conclusion

Ms. Crevoiserat continued, “We are confident in the strong foundation we’re building and our ability to create long-term value for our stakeholders. As we enter the holiday season, our teams continue to focus on the factors within our control. We are putting the consumer first, delivering innovative, relevant and beautifully crafted product, while staying true to the unique purpose of each of our brands. We are also leaning into the opportunity to evolve with the changing landscape and shifting consumer needs and preferences. Given the strength of the first quarter, we are increasingly optimistic in our ability to drive sustainable top and bottom line growth over our planning horizon.”

Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook

Due to the dynamic nature of the Covid-19 crisis and lack of visibility, the potential financial impact to our business cannot be accurately projected. Therefore, the Company is not providing detailed guidance for fiscal 2021. However, given the strong start to the fiscal year and assuming a continued steady recovery emerging from the pandemic, the Company continues to expect a topline inflection in the second half of the fiscal year, with both revenue and bottom line growth now projected for fiscal 2021.

The Company also notes that fiscal 2021 includes a 53rd week in its fourth fiscal quarter.

The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The financial information presented above, as well as gross margin, SG&A expense ratio, and operating margin, have been presented both including and excluding the effect of certain items related to the tax benefit the Company received under the CARES Act and the Acceleration Program for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and ERP Implementation, Organization-related & Integration Costs and Impairment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Percentage increases/decreases in net sales for the Company and each segment have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating foreign-denominated sales into U.S. dollars and compared to the same periods in the prior quarter and fiscal year. The Company calculates constant currency net sales results by translating current period net sales in local currency using the prior year period’s currency conversion rate.

Net sales changes for the Company and each segment are based on absolute sales dollar changes and are not presented in accordance with the Company’s comparable sales definition utilized historically due to the uncertain business environment resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Management utilizes these non-GAAP and constant currency measures to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected and to make decisions about Company resources and performance. The Company believes presenting these non-GAAP measures, which exclude items that are not comparable from period to period, is 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, the Company believes presenting these metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors and analysts to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these performance measures and provide a framework to assess how business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects.

   APPENDIX   
 

 The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The financial information presented has been presented both including and excluding the effect of certain items impacting comparability related to the CARES Act Tax Impact and the Acceleration Program for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and our ERP Implementation, Organization-Related and Integration Costs and Impairment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Management utilizes these non-GAAP measures to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected and to make decisions about Company resources and performance. The Company believes presenting these non-GAAP measures, which exclude items that are not comparable from period to period, is 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.    52
