SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This document, and the documents incorporated by reference in this document, our press releases and oral statements made from time to time by us or on our behalf, may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are based on management's current expectations, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "may," "can," "continue," "project," "assumption," "should," "expect," "confidence," "trends," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "on track," "well positioned to," "plan," "potential," "position," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "target," similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, the results of Tapestry, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. Tapestry, Inc. assumes no obligation to revise or update any such forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
Tapestry, Inc.’s actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the impact of the novel coronavirus ("Covid-19") global pandemic on our business and financial results, including impacts on our supply chain due to temporary closures of our manufacturing partners and shipping and fulfillment constraints; (ii) our ability to successfully execute our multi-year growth agenda; (iii) the impact of economic conditions; (iv) our ability to control costs; (v) our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products; (vi) the risk of cyber security threats and privacy or data security breaches; (vii) the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace; (viii) our ability to retain the value of our brands and to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, including our ability to execute on our e-commerce and digital strategies; (ix) the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations on our sales or operating results; (x) our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights; (xi) the impact of legislation, including tax and trade legislation; (xii) our ability to achieve intended benefits, cost savings and synergies from acquisitions; (xiii) the risks associated with potential changes to international trade agreements and the imposition of additional duties on importing our products; (xiv) the impact of pending and potential future legal proceedings; and (xv) the risks associated with climate change and other corporate responsibility issues and (xvi) such other risk factors as set forth in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022. These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements.

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 condensed 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 July 2, 2022 ("fiscal 2022") and other filings filed with the SEC.
The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the nine months ended April 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on July 1, 2023 ("fiscal 2023").
Covid-19 Pandemic
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has impacted a significant majority of the regions in which we operate, resulting in significant global business disruptions. The widespread impact of Covid-19 resulted in temporary closures of directly operated stores globally, as well as at our wholesale and licensing partners starting in fiscal 2020. Since then, certain directly operated stores and the stores of our wholesale and licensing partners have experienced temporary re-closures or are operating under tighter restrictions in compliance with local government regulation. Covid-19 has also resulted in ongoing supply chain challenges, such as logistic constraints, the temporary closure of certain third-party manufacturers and certain increased freight costs.

TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The global Covid-19 pandemic is continuously 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 cannot be predicted, including the ultimate duration, severity and continued geographic resurgence of the virus and the success of actions to contain the virus, including variants of the novel strain, or treat its impact, among others. As the full magnitude of the effects on the Company's business is difficult to predict, the Covid-19 pandemic has and may 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. 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 response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company took actions to reinforce its liquidity and financial flexibility. If stores are required to close again for an extended period of time due to a resurgence of increased infections, the Company's liquidity may be negatively impacted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for the realizability of inventory; asset retirement obligations; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes 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.
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.
Share Repurchases
The Company accounts for stock repurchases by allocating the repurchase price to common stock and retained earnings. Under Maryland law, the Company's state of incorporation, there are no treasury shares. All repurchased shares are authorized but unissued shares and these shares may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time. 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 purchase agreements under Rule 10b5-1. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company is subject to a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which is recorded in Retained earnings as part of Stockholders' Equity.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, "Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)", which is intended to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. The ASU requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program in order to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2022-04 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 e-commerce sites. 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. Digital 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 digital 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.
Certain of the Company's retail operations use sales incentive programs, such as customer loyalty programs and the issuance of coupons. Loyalty programs provide the customer a material right to acquire additional products and give rise to the Company having a separate performance obligation. Additionally, certain products sold by the Company include an assurance warranty that is not considered a separate performance obligation. These programs are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.
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 April 1, 2023.
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.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue results from cash payments received or receivable from customers prior to the transfer of the promised goods or services, and is generally comprised of unredeemed gift cards, net of breakage which has been recognized. Additional deferred revenue may result from sales-based royalty payments received or receivable which exceed the revenue recognized during the contractual period. The balance of such amounts as of April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was $43.1 million and $41.5 million, respectively, which were primarily recorded within Accrued liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within a year. For the nine months ended April 1, 2023, net sales of $20.4 million were recognized from amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of July 2, 2022. For the nine months ended April 2, 2022, net sales of $12.7 million were recognized from amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of July 3, 2021.

(2) The ending balances of AOCI related to foreign currency translation adjustments includes a loss of $68.8 million, net of tax of $2.4 million, as of April 1, 2023, related to changes in the fair values of instruments designated as hedges of the Company's net investment in certain foreign operations. As the Company began entering into net investment hedges in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, there was no balance as of April 2, 2022.
7. LEASES
The Company leases retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, fulfillment 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 determining the lease term used in the lease right-of-use ("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. The Company is required to use 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
12
TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Company's credit rating, credit spread and adjustments for the impact of collateral, lease tenors, economic environment and currency.
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 of 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 Sheets as of April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022:

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The majority of the Company’s purchases of finished goods are denominated in U.S. dollars, which limits the Company’s exposure to the transactional effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its sale of U.S. dollar inventory to foreign operating subsidiaries in local currency, as well as risk related to various cross-currency intercompany loans and payables, and translation risk. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk related to changes in the U.S. dollar value of its net investment in foreign subsidiaries. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. These derivative transactions are in accordance with the Company’s risk management policies. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company records all derivative contracts at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of foreign currency derivatives are based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and include an adjustment for the Company’s credit risk. Judgment is required of management in developing estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could affect the estimated fair value.
14
TAPESTRY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in the fair value of these instruments are either (i) offset against the changes in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities through earnings or (ii) recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. For derivative instruments that are designated as a net investment hedge, the changes in the fair value of the instruments are recognized as a component of AOCI, and upon discontinuation of the hedge remain in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated.
Each derivative instrument entered into by the Company that qualifies for hedge accounting is expected to be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. For each derivative that is designated as a hedge, the Company documents the related risk management objective and strategy, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item and the risk exposure, as well as how hedge effectiveness will be assessed over the term of the instrument. The extent to which a hedging instrument has been and is expected to remain highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows is assessed and documented by the Company on at least a quarterly basis.
If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been highly effective and will continue not to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued, and further gains (losses) are recognized in earnings within foreign currency gains (losses). Upon discontinuance of hedge accounting, the cumulative change in fair value of cash flow derivatives previously recorded in AOCI is recognized in earnings when the related hedged item affects earnings, consistent with the original hedging strategy, unless the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, in which case the accumulated amount is immediately recognized in earnings within foreign currency gains (losses).
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company may be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to such contacts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon an evaluation of their credit ratings, among other factors.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. For cash flow reporting purposes, the Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a derivative instrument in the same manner as the related item being hedged, primarily within cash from operating activities.
Hedging Portfolio
The Company enters into forward currency contracts primarily to reduce its risks related to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated inventory transactions, as well as various cross-currency intercompany loans and payables. To the extent its derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of the hedged items, the related gains (losses) are initially deferred in AOCI and subsequently recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of the cost of the inventory purchases being hedged within Cost of sales, when the related inventory is sold to a third party. Current maturity dates range from April 2023 to December 2024. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges and associated with intercompany and other contractual obligations are recognized within foreign currency gains (losses) generally in the period in which the related balances being hedged are revalued. The maturity date of most instruments held as of April 1, 2023 are in May 2023, and such contracts are typically renewed upon maturity if the related balance has not been settled. The Company also enters into cross-currency swaps to reduce its risks related to exchange rate fluctuations on net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The related gains (losses) are deferred in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated, and current maturity dates range from April 2025 to March 2032.

For forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated as fair value hedges, both the gain (loss) on the derivative as well as the offsetting gain (loss) on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recorded within Other expense (income) on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company expects that $7.1 million of net derivative loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive income at April 1, 2023 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. This amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company assesses the cross-currency swaps used as net investment hedges under the spot method. This results in the cross-currency basis spread being excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recorded as incurred as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, the Company recorded net interest income of $21.2 million and $0.0 million during the nine months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively.

9. 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:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, there were 2.0 million and 6.4 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.

$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 Million Term Loan
On May 11, 2022, 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 $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility”) and an unsecured $500.0 million Term Loan (the “Term Loan”). Both the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) will mature on May 11, 2027. The Company and its subsidiaries must comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum 4.0 to 1.0 ratio of (a) consolidated debt minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $300 million to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.
Borrowings under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a term secured overnight financing rate, (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt to (b) consolidated EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”). Additionally, the Company will pay facility fees, calculated at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, on the full amount of the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, and certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued. The $1.25 Billion 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 backup). There were no outstanding borrowings on the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility as of April 1, 2023.

The Term Loan includes up to a two-month delayed draw period from the closing date. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company drew down on the Term Loan to satisfy the Company’s remaining obligations under the 3.000 % senior unsecured notes due 2022 and for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to 5.00 % per annum, with payments made quarterly. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an alternate base rate or (ii) a term secured overnight financing rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin.

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. On December 1, 2021, the Company completed a cash tender offer for $296.6 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes.
At April 1, 2023 the fair value of the 2032, 2027, and 2025 Senior Notes was approximately $408.9 million, $374.1 million and $299.4 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 Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. At July 2, 2022, the fair value of the 2032, 2027 and 2025 Senior Notes was approximately $409.0 million, $383.0 million and $304.1 million, respectively.
12. 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.

(2)Short-term investments are recorded at fair value, which approximates their carrying value, and are primarily based upon quoted vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.
(3)The fair value of these hedges is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.
Refer to Note 11, "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, right-of-use 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.

Letters of Credit
The Company had standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees totaling $36.3 million and $37.8 million outstanding at April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The agreements, which expire at various dates through fiscal year 2028, 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 April 1, 2023 related to debt repayments. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for further information. Additionally, the Company had future payment obligations related to executed lease agreements for which the related lease had not yet commenced. Refer to Note 7, "Leases," for further information.
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, contractual disputes, insurance claims and litigation with present or former employees.
As part of Tapestry’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Company files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Tapestry may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Tapestry’s intellectual properties.
Although the Company's litigation as described above is routine and incidental to the conduct of Tapestry’s business, such litigation can result in large monetary awards, such as when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages.

27
2025 Growth Strategy
Building on the success of the strategic growth plan from fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2022 (the “Acceleration Program”), in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company introduced the 2025 growth strategy (“futurespeed”), designed to amplify and extend the competitive advantages of the brands, with a focus on four strategic priorities:
•Building Lasting Customer Relationships: The Company’s brands aim to leverage Tapestry’s transformed business model to drive customer lifetime value through a combination of increased customer acquisition, retention and reactivation.
•Fueling Fashion Innovation & Product Excellence: The Company aims to drive sustained growth in core handbags and small leathergoods, while accelerating gains in footwear and lifestyle products.
•Delivering Compelling Omni-Channel Experiences: The Company aims to extend its omni-channel leadership to meet the customer wherever they shop, delivering growth online and in stores.
•Powering Global Growth: The Company aims to support balanced growth across regions, prioritizing North America and China, its largest markets, while capitalizing on opportunities in under-penetrated geographies such as Southeast Asia and Europe.
GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND INDUSTRY TRENDS
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.
We will continue to monitor the below 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 as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2022.
Current Macroeconomic Conditions and Outlook
In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the macroeconomic environment remained challenging and volatile. Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, continue to forecast growth in the global economy. Some of these organizations have recently revised the forecast slightly downwards since the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The updated forecast is below the historical average, which is reflective of the current volatile environment, including higher than anticipated inflation, tighter monetary and fiscal policies aiming to lower inflation, financial market volatility, the lingering effects of Covid-19 pandemic and the negative economic impacts due to the crisis in Ukraine. In addition, starting in December 2022 certain Covid-19 related government restrictions in Greater China were lifted and business trends have improved in the region.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the U.S. Dollar has appreciated as compared to foreign currencies in regions where we conduct our business. For the three months and nine months ended April 1, 2023, this trend has resulted in adverse impacts to our business as compared to prior year, including, but not limited to, decreased Net sales of $52.8 million and $188.5 million respectively, negative impact to gross margin of approximately 120 basis points and 100 basis points respectively, and favorable impact to Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $23.5 million and $87.1 million respectively. Taken together, this resulted in approximately 170 basis points and 120 basis points, respectively, of negative impact to operating margin, and negative impact to Net income per diluted share by $0.10 and $0.30 respectively.
Currency volatility, political instability and potential changes to trade agreements or duty rates may also contribute to a worsening of the macroeconomic environment or adversely impact our business. Since fiscal 2019, the U.S. and China have both imposed tariffs on the importation of certain product categories into the respective country, with limited progress in negotiations to reduce or remove the tariffs.
The Company continues to take strategic actions in response to the current environment and remains committed to driving SG&A savings. 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 current macroeconomic environment.
28
Covid-19 Pandemic
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in varying degrees of business disruption for the Company since it began in fiscal 2020 and has impacted all regions around the world, resulting in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities. During the first half of fiscal 2023, the Company's results in Greater China were adversely impacted as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Starting in December 2022, certain government restrictions were lifted and business trends have improved in the region. We continue to monitor the latest developments regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and have incorporated certain assumptions regarding the duration, severity and global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic into our financial outlook. The impact of Covid-19 on our business and operating results could differ materially from these assumptions based on a number of factors largely outside of our control. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022, for additional discussion regarding risks to our business associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Supply Chain and Logistics Challenges
Covid-19 has and may continue to cause disruptions in the Company’s supply chain within our third-party manufacturers and logistics providers. During fiscal 2022, certain of the Company’s third-party manufacturers, primarily located in Vietnam, experienced ongoing and longer-than-expected government mandated restrictions, which resulted in a significant decrease in production capacity for these third-party manufacturers. In response, the Company took deliberate actions such as shifting production to other countries, adjusting its merchandising strategies, where possible, and increasing the use of air freight to expedite delivery. Based on these actions and improved production levels, the Company has and expects that it will continue to be able to meet anticipated levels of demand. The Company has experienced other global logistical challenges, such as delays as a result of port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages for imported products and rising freight costs.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, freight costs have started to moderate and the Company has significantly reduced the use of air freight when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. As a result, during the three months and nine months ended April 1, 2023, the Company incurred lower freight expense of $45.6 million and $52.6 million respectively, positively impacting gross margin by approximately 360 basis points and 120 basis points when compared to the prior year.
There is still uncertainty associated with 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 and adjust our operating plan as needed. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2022.
Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program
The Company has historically benefited from duty-free imports on certain products from certain countries pursuant to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program. The GSP program expired in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in additional duties and negatively impacting gross profit.
Crisis in Ukraine
In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, a humanitarian crisis unfolded in Ukraine, which has created significant economic uncertainty in the region. The Company does not have directly operated stores in Russia or Ukraine and has a very minimal distributor and wholesale business which was less than 0.1% of the Company’s total Net sales for fiscal 2022. The Company has paused all wholesale shipments to Russia. The Company's total business in Europe represented less than 5% of its fiscal 2022 total Net sales.
Tax Legislation
Over the past year, there has been significant discussion with regards to tax legislation by both the Biden Administration and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law by the Biden Administration, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income ("CAMT") and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states also reached agreement to implement the OECD’s reform of international taxation known as Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") Rules, which broadly mirror the Inflation Reduction Act by imposing a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. The CAMT and GloBE are anticipated to be effective beginning in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, respectively. The US Treasury and the OECD continue to seek input and release guidance on the CAMT and GloBE legislation and how the two will interact, so it is unclear at this time what, if any, impact either will have on the Company’s tax rate and financial results. We will continue to evaluate their impact as further information becomes available. With respect to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases, this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act was effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements. This excise tax is recorded in Retained earnings as part of Stockholders' Equity.
29
Seasonality
The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we typically build inventory for the winter and holiday 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 season. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales, operating income and operating cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of that expected for the full fiscal 2023. 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, including pandemics such as Covid-19.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $53.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This was primarily related to the premiums, amortization and fees associated with the partial tender of the company's 2027 senior notes and 2025 senior notes.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased 54.3% or $25.4 million to $21.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $46.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This decrease in interest expense, net was mainly due to the favorable impact of the net investment hedges, lower bond interest expense on senior notes, as well as higher interest income offset by higher interest on the term loan.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense decreased $7.2 million to an expense of $1.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to an expense of $8.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This decrease in other expense was related to a decrease in foreign exchange losses.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 18.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to 18.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Excluding items affecting comparability, the effective tax rate was 18.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Excluding items affecting comparability, net income decreased 3.7% or $27.4 million to $711.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $739.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower operating income.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net income per diluted share increased 21.0% or $0.51 to $2.93 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $2.42 in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Excluding items affecting comparability, net income per diluted share increased 9.2% or $0.25 to $2.93 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 from $2.68 in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This change was primarily due to lower diluted shares. Foreign exchange negatively impacted Net income per diluted share by $0.30.
42
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. There were no items affecting comparability during the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The reported SG&A expenses, operating income, provision for income taxes, net income and earnings per diluted share in the three and nine months ended April 2, 2022 and the reported loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended April 2, 2022 reflect certain items, including Acceleration Program costs in the three and nine months ended April 2, 2022 and debt extinguishment costs in the nine months ended April 2, 2022. 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 e-commerce sites. 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 temporary store closures resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, comparable store sales are not reported for the three or nine months ended April 1, 2023 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 $152.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to a decrease of $1.20 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as discussed below.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $41.6 million due to lower impact of non-cash adjustments of $97.1 million, partially offset by higher net income of $44.4 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $11.1 million.
The $11.1 million increase in changes in operating asset and liability balances were primarily driven by the following:
•Inventories were a source of cash of $53.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to a use of cash of $192.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by lower in-transit inventory compared to prior year end due to the strategic decision to pull back on receipts.
•Trade accounts receivable were a use of cash of $7.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to a use of cash of $59.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by higher wholesale sales in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.
•Accounts payable were a use of cash of $166.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to a source of cash of $23.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by lower in-transit inventory and receipts compared to the prior year end due to the strategic decision to pull back on receipts.
•Accrued liabilities were a use of cash of $161.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to a use of cash of $110.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in accrued freight and duty, a decrease in accruals for the Annual Incentive Plan, partially offset by an increase in accrued interest due to the net investment hedge and an increase in accrued sales tax due to higher holiday sales.
•Other assets were a source of cash of $13.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to a source of cash of $62.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by additional income tax payments for the year in addition to a tax refund in the prior year.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $40.6 million as compared to a use of cash of $337.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, resulting in a $378.1 million increase in net cash provided by investing activities.
The $40.6 million source of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 is primarily due to proceeds from maturities and sales of investments $154.6 million, settlement of net investment hedge of $41.9 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $149.6 million.
The $337.5 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 is primarily due to purchases of investments of $523.4 million and purchases of property and equipment of $75.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of investments $261.0 million.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $768.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to a use of cash of $1.47 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, resulting in a net decrease in use of cash for financing activities of $699.6 million.
44
The $768.7 million use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to repurchase of common stock of $502.0 million and dividend payments of $214.2 million as well as taxes paid to net settle share-based awards of $55.3 million.
The $1.47 billion use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to repurchase of common stock of $1.25 billion, repayment of debt of $500.0 million, dividend payments of $202.8 million and the payment of debt extinguishment costs of $50.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of discount of $498.5 million.

(1) As of April 1, 2023, approximately 73.6% of our cash and short-term investments were held outside the United States. We have analyzed our global working capital and cash requirements, and the potential tax liabilities associated with repatriation, and have determined that we will likely repatriate some portion of available foreign cash in the foreseeable future. The Company has recorded deferred taxes on certain earnings of non-US subsidiaries that are deemed likely to be repatriated.
(2) On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility") and an unsecured $500.0 Million Term Loan (the “Term Loan”). Both the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) will mature on May 11, 2027. The Company and its subsidiaries must comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum 4.0 to 1.0 ratio of (a) consolidated debt minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $300 million to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.
Borrowings under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a term secured overnight financing rate, (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt to (b) consolidated EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”). Additionally, the Company will pay facility fees, calculated at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, on the full amount of the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, and certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued. The $1.25 Billion 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 backup). There were no outstanding borrowings on the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility as of April 1, 2023.
45
The Term Loan includes a two-month delayed draw period from the closing date. On June 14, 2022 the Company drew down on the Term Loan to satisfy the Company’s remaining obligations under the 3.000% senior unsecured notes due 2022 and for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to 5.00% per annum, with payments made quarterly. As of April 1, 2023, $25.0 million of the Term Loan is included in Current debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an alternate base rate or (ii) a term secured overnight financing rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a pricing grid based on the Gross Leverage Ratio. Additionally, the Company will pay a ticking fee on the undrawn amount of the Term Loan. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.
(3) In December 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.050% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2032 at 99.705% of par (the "2032 Senior Notes") and completed cash tender offers for $203.4 million and $296.6 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount under its 2027 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes, respectively. In June 2017, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Senior Notes. In March 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes. Furthermore, the indentures for the 2032 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes, and 2025 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 April 1, 2023, no known events of default have occurred. Refer to Note 11, "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 April 1, 2023, there were 14 financial institutions participating in the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans, with no one participant maintaining a combined maximum commitment percentage in excess of 15%. We have no reason to believe at this time that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the facility in the event we elect to draw funds in the foreseeable future.
We have the ability to draw on our credit facilities or access other sources of financing options available to us in the credit and capital markets for, among other things, 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 will provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for fiscal 2023 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.
To improve our working capital efficiency, we make available to certain suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to a global financial institution on a non-recourse basis at a rate that leverages our credit rating. We do not have the ability to refinance or modify payment terms to the global financial institution through the SCF program. No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF program.
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. During the three and nine months ended April 1, 2023, capital expenditures and cloud computing implementation costs were $56.6 million and $205.8 million, respectively. The Company expects total fiscal 2023 capital expenditures and cloud computing cost to be approximately $280.0 million. Certain cloud computing implementation costs are recognized within Prepaid expenses and Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Stock Repurchase Plan
On May 12, 2022, the Company announced the Board of Directors authorized the additional repurchase of up to $1.50 billion of its common stock (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program"). Pursuant to this program, purchases of the Company's common stock will be made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares of common stock will become authorized but unissued shares. These shares may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. In addition, the Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time. As of April 1, 2023 the Company had $1.00 billion of additional shares available to be repurchased as authorized under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. Refer to Part II, Item 2. "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds," for further information. During the three and nine months ended April 1, 2023, the Company repurchased $200.0 million and
46
$500.0 million, respectively, worth of shares. In total, the Company intends to repurchase approximately $700.0 million in fiscal 2023, all of which is under its current authorization.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. As of April 1, 2023, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies.
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. 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 2022 testing date exceeded their carrying values by approximately 50% and 90%, respectively. Several factors could impact the Kate Spade brand's ability to achieve expected future cash flows, including the optimization of the store fleet productivity, the success of international expansion strategies, the impact of promotional activity, continued economic volatility and potential operational challenges related to macroeconomic factors, the reception of new collections in all channels, 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 during fiscal 2023 from those that are expected, it is possible that an interim test, or our annual impairment test, could result in an impairment of those assets.
47
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 April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $774.8 million and $41.5 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 April 1, 2023.
The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans, payables and receivables. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi, the British Pound Sterling and the Japanese Yen. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans, payables and receivables were $243.7 million and $274.1 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was $5.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was $17.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respects to net investment hedges. As of April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.20 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively, to hedge our net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and their local currencies. The fair values of outstanding derivative contracts related to net investment hedges included in long-term assets at April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was $5.4 million and $47.8 million, respectively. The fair values of outstanding derivative contracts related to net investment hedges included in long-term liabilities at April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was $102.4 million and $44.0 million, respectively. Under the term of these contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 2.4% and 2.7% in Euros, and 0.1% and (0.3)% in Japanese Yen. Refer to Note 8, "Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities," for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 Million Term Loan entered into under the credit agreement dated May 11, 2022, the 2032 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes, 2025 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes") and investments.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 Million Term Loan (collectively, the "Credit Facilities"). Borrowings under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a term secured overnight financing rate, (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt to (b) consolidated
EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”). Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an alternate base rate or (ii) a term secured overnight financing rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a pricing grid based on the Gross Leverage Ratio. Furthermore, a prolonged disruption on our business resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic may impact our ability to satisfy the terms of our Credit Facilities, including our liquidity covenant.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the Senior Notes. At April 1, 2023, the fair value of the 2032 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes, and 2025 Senior Notes was approximately $409 million, $374 million, and $299 million, respectively. At July 2, 2022, the fair value of the 2032 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes, and 2025 Senior Notes was approximately $409 million, $383 million, and $304 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 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement furnished with the SEC on June 7, 2017) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes.
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 April 1, 2023.
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. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 1, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
