[removed: Many] [added: In addition, many] of these [removed: countries] [added: markets] have different operational characteristics, including but not limited to employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate, environmental regulations and local reporting or legal requirements.

Rewritten

Even if our [removed: products] [added: products, marketing campaigns and retail environments] do meet changing customer preferences and/or stay ahead of changing fashion trends, our brand image could become tarnished or undesirable in the minds of our customers or target markets, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Furthermore, actual costs incurred under the Transformation Plan may differ from expectations based on our execution of the key operational and cost elements described above.

Our brands may not be well-established or widely sold in some of these markets, and we may have limited experience operating directly or working with our partners there.

New in FY2015

| • | changes in tourist shopping patterns, particularly that of the Chinese consumer; |

New in FY2015

Unfavorable economic conditions may also reduce consumers’ willingness and ability to travel to major cities and vacation destinations in which our stores are located.

New in FY2015

Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition and a highly promotional environment, fragmentation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products, and changes in consumer spending patterns.

New in FY2015

Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits, cost savings and synergies and may disrupt current operations; the acquired Stuart Weitzman business may underperform relative to our expectations; and the Stuart Weitzman acquisition may cause our financial results to differ from our expectations or the expectations of the investment community.

New in FY2015

During fiscal 2015, we acquired Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC, a leading designer and manufacturer of women's luxury footwear.

New in FY2015

We may have difficulty integrating the Stuart Weitzman business into our operations or otherwise successfully managing the expansion of the Stuart Weitzman business.

New in FY2015

Additionally, while we continually review potential acquisition opportunities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable candidates or consummate these transactions on favorable terms or at all.

New in FY2015

The potential difficulties of integrating the operations of an acquired business, such as Stuart Weitzman, and realizing our expectations for an acquisition, including the benefits that may be realized, include, among other things:

New in FY2015

| • | failure of the business to perform as planned following the acquisition or achieve anticipated revenue or profitability targets; |

New in FY2015

| • | delays, unexpected costs or difficulties in completing the integration of acquired companies or assets; |

New in FY2015

| • | the impact on our or an acquired business’ internal controls and compliance with the requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and |

New in FY2015

| • | other unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities. |

New in FY2015

Our failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired business, including Stuart Weitzman, and any adverse consequences associated with future acquisition activities, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

New in FY2015

Completed acquisitions may result in additional goodwill and/or an increase in other intangible assets on our balance sheet.

New in FY2015

We are required at least annually, or as facts and circumstances exist, to test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives to determine if impairment has occurred.

New in FY2015

If the testing performed indicates that impairment has occurred, we are required to record a non-cash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives and the implied fair value of the goodwill or the fair value of other intangible assets with indefinite lives in the period the determination is made.

New in FY2015

We determined there was no impairment in fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013; however, we cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of assets.

New in FY2015

Should the value of goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

New in FY2015

The retail industry, in particular, has been the target of many recent cyber-attacks.

New in FY2015

Furthermore, the Stuart Weitzman brand is viewed as a leading design house of women's luxury footwear within North America, with a strong opportunity for growth globally, and is built upon the idea of crafting a beautifully-constructed shoe, merging fashion and function.

New in FY2015

Our success also depends in part on our ability to execute on our Transformation Plan.

New in FY2015

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

New in FY2015

Our continued international expansion will increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

New in FY2015

As a result of operating retail stores outside of the U.S., we are also exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

New in FY2015

A substantial weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar could impact consumers’ willingness or ability to travel abroad and/or purchase our products while traveling, as well as require us to raise our retail prices or reduce our profit margin in various locations outside of the U.S. In addition, our sales and profitability could be negatively impacted if consumers in those markets were unwilling to purchase our products at increased prices.

New in FY2015

Rewritten

As [removed: Coach’s] [added: the Company's] business model is based on multi-channel global distribution, our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel or geographic area.

Rewritten

In order to drive growth within our global business, we are focused on four key initiatives, which directly align with the [removed: Company's] [added: Coach brand] Transformation Plan, described below:

Rewritten

| • | Harness the growing power of the digital world, [added: by] accelerating the development of our digital programs and capabilities in North America and worldwide, reflecting the change in consumer shopping behavior globally. Our intent is to rapidly drive further innovation to engage with customers in this channel.

[removed: In addition, during] [added: During] the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, [removed: Coach] [added: Coach, Inc.] announced a multi-year strategic plan with the objective of transforming the [added: Coach] brand and reinvigorating growth, which [added: we believe] will enable the Company to return to ‘best-in-class’ profitability.

Rewritten

We believe our strategy offers significant growth opportunities in handbags and accessories, as well as in the broader set of lifestyle categories that we have operated in for some time but are less developed, including footwear and [removed: outerwear.][added: ready-to-wear.]

Rewritten

[removed: It will also entail] [added: This strategy has required an integrated holistic approach, across product, stores and marketing and promotional activities, and entails] the roll-out of carefully crafted aspirational marketing campaigns to define [removed: our] [added: the Coach] brand [added: and] to deliver a fuller and more consistent brand expression.

Rewritten

Key operational and cost measures [removed: needed in order to fund and execute this plan] [added: of the Transformation Plan] include: (i) the investment [removed: of approximately $500 million] in capital improvements in our stores and wholesale locations [removed: in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016;] [added: to drive comparable sales improvement;] (ii) the optimization [added: and streamlining] of our [removed: North American store fleet including] [added: organizational model as well as] the closure of [removed: approximately 70] underperforming [removed: locations] [added: stores] in [removed: fiscal 2015;] [added: North America, and select International stores;] (iii) the realignment of inventory levels [added: and mix] to reflect our elevated product strategy [removed: in fiscal 2014;] [added: and consumer preferences;] (iv) the investment of approximately $50 million in incremental advertising costs to [removed: further] [added: elevate consumer perception of our Coach brand, drives sales growth and] promote our new [removed: strategy starting] [added: strategy, which started] in fiscal 2015; and (v) the significant scale-back of our promotional [removed: cadence,] [added: cadence in an increased global promotional environment,] particularly within our outlet Internet sales [removed: site starting] [added: site, which began] in fiscal 2014.

Rewritten

[removed: Consumer] [added: Global consumer] retail traffic [removed: remains] [added: remained] relatively weak and inconsistent, which has led to a more promotional environment [added: in the fragmented retail industry] due to increased competition and a desire to offset traffic declines with increased levels of conversion.

Rewritten

[added: If the global macroeconomic environment remains volatile] or worsens, the constrained level of worldwide consumer spending and modified consumption behavior may continue to have a negative effect on our [removed: trends in fiscal 2015.][added: outlook.]

Rewritten

We will continue to monitor these risks and [added: 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 [removed: brand.][added: brands.]

New in FY2015

Within the U.S., a prolonged and tough winter season impacted demand during the first half of calendar 2015, however certain limited and recent factors within the U.S., including an improvement in the labor market and modest growth in overall consumer spending, suggest a potential moderate strengthening in the U.S. economic outlook.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

14 rewritten, 8 added, 1 removed, 14 unchanged

Rewritten

The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with [removed: Coach’s] [added: the Company's] risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

Rewritten

[removed: Substantially all] [added: The majority] of [removed: Coach’s] [added: the Company's] purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, [removed: are not subject to] [added: our] foreign currency exchange [removed: risk.][added: risk is limited.]

Rewritten

The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its [removed: foreign] operating subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar [added: and Euro] denominated inventory purchases.

Rewritten

To mitigate such risk, Coach Japan and Coach Canada enter into foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar [removed: options.][added: options and forward foreign currency contracts.]

Rewritten

As of June [removed: 28, 2014] [added: 27, 2015] and June [removed: 29, 2013,] [added: 28, 2014,] zero-cost collar options [added: and forward foreign currency exchange contracts] designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of [removed: $90.3] [added: $126.7] million and [removed: $193.4] [added: $90.2] million, respectively, were outstanding.

Rewritten

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 June [removed: 28, 2014.][added: 27, 2015.]

Rewritten

[removed: Coach] [added: The Company] is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany [removed: and related party] loans which are not long term in investment nature.

Rewritten

This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the [removed: Hong Kong] [added: Singapore] Dollar, the [removed: South Korean Won,] [added: Euro,] the [added: British Pound Sterling, the] New Taiwan [removed: Dollar,] [added: Dollar] and the [removed: British Pound Sterling.][added: Malaysian Ringgit.]

Rewritten

To manage the exchange rate risk related to these loans, the Company [removed: entered] [added: primarily enters] into forward exchange and cross-currency swap [removed: contracts, the terms of which include the exchange of foreign currency fixed interest for U.S. dollar fixed interest and an exchange of the foreign currency and U.S. dollar based notional values at the maturity dates of the contracts, the latest of which is November 2014.][added: contracts.]

Rewritten

As of June [removed: 28, 2014] [added: 27, 2015] and June [removed: 29, 2013,] [added: 28, 2014,] the total notional values of outstanding forward [added: foreign currency] exchange and cross-currency swap contracts related to these loans were [removed: $13.2] [added: $25.8] million and [removed: $147.6] [added: $13.2] million, respectively.

Rewritten

The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at June [removed: 28, 2014] [added: 27, 2015] and June [removed: 29, 2013] [added: 28, 2014] was [removed: $0.5] [added: $3.4] million and [removed: $4.5] [added: $0.5] million, respectively.

Rewritten

The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivatives included in current liabilities at June [removed: 28, 2014] [added: 27, 2015] and June [removed: 29, 2013] [added: 28, 2014] was [removed: $0.9] [added: $0.2] million and [removed: $2.9] [added: $0.9] million, respectively.

Rewritten

As of June [removed: 28, 2014,] [added: 27, 2015,] a 10% devaluation of the U.S. Dollar against the exchange rates for foreign currencies under contract would result in an immaterial impact on derivative contract fair values.

Rewritten

[removed: The primary objective] of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk.

New in FY2015

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.

New in FY2015

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the Term Loan, the 4.250% Senior Notes and investments.

New in FY2015

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the Term Loan.

New in FY2015

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Coach’s option, either (a) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus an applicable margin or (b) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%).

New in FY2015

A hypothetical 10% change in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement interest rate would have resulted in an insignificant change in interest expense in fiscal 2015.

New in FY2015

Furthermore, we are also exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of our $600.0 million 4.250% Senior Notes.

New in FY2015
