New in FY2016

The Company's execution of these key operational and cost measures was concluded during fiscal 2016.

New in FY2016

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we announced a plan to enhance organizational efficiency, update core technology platforms and streamline the Company’s supply chain network.

New in FY2016

These initiatives were undertaken as a result of a strategic review of the Company’s corporate structure which focused on creating an agile and scalable business model.

New in FY2016

The charges under this plan began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and we anticipate they will be substantially complete by the end of fiscal year 2017.

New in FY2016

There is no assurance these actions will be successful in achieving our intended results.

New in FY2016

Actual costs incurred and the timeline of these initiatives may differ from our expectations.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K.) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (E.U.), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be increased regulatory and legal complexities, including potentially divergent national laws and regulations between the U.K. and E.U. Brexit may also cause disruption and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationship with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations; |

New in FY2016

In addition, the success of our retail stores located within malls and shopping centers may be impacted by (1) the location of the store within the mall or shopping center, (2) surrounding tenants or vacancies; (3) increased competition in areas where malls or shopping centers are located; (4) the amount spent on advertising and promotion to attract consumers to the mall; and (5) a shift towards online shopping resulting in a decrease in mall traffic.

Furthermore, the cost of transportation may fluctuate significantly if oil prices show volatility.

New in FY2016

One component of our growth strategy is acquisitions, such as our acquisition of Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC during fiscal 2015.

New in FY2016

The integration process of any newly acquired company may be complex, costly and time-consuming.

New in FY2016

The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars.

New in FY2016

For example, the announcement of Brexit caused significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Additionally, certain of our wholesale customers, particularly those located in the U.S., have become highly promotional and have aggressively marked down their merchandise.

New in FY2016

Despite our planned reduction in markdown allowances during fiscal 2017, such promotional activity could negatively impact our brands, which could affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

New in FY2016

On August 1, 2016, the Company sold its ownership interest in the building and substantially all of the related tenant improvements for a purchase price of approximately $707 million (net of approximately $77 million due to the developer of Hudson Yards) before transaction costs of $26 million, resulting in a gain of about $30 million, which will be amortized through selling, general and administrative expenses over the lease term of 20 years.

New in FY2016

Operational Efficiency Plan

New in FY2016

On April 26, 2016, the Company announced a series of operational efficiency initiatives focused on creating an agile and scalable business model (the "Operational Efficiency Plan").

New in FY2016

The significant majority of the charges under this plan will be recorded within SG&A expenses, and will be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2017.

New in FY2016

These charges are associated with organizational efficiencies, primarily related to the reduction of corporate staffing levels globally, as well as accelerated depreciation, mainly associated with information systems retirement, technology infrastructure charges related to the initial costs of replacing and updating our core technology platforms, and international supply chain and office location optimization.

New in FY2016

Refer to Note 3, "Restructuring Activities," and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" for further information.

New in FY2016

While certain developed geographic regions are withstanding these pressures better than others, the level of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items remains constrained due to the economic uncertainty.

New in FY2016

Political and economic instability or changing macroeconomic conditions that exist in our major markets, including the impact of (1) the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union in its referendum on June 23, 2016 and (2) the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, have further contributed to this uncertainty.

New in FY2016

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K.) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (E.U.), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, it's expected that the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be increased regulatory and legal complexities, including potentially divergent national laws and regulations between the U.K. and E.U. Brexit may also cause disruption and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationship with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees.

New in FY2016

Additional macroeconomic events including foreign exchange rate volatility in various parts of the world, recent and evolving impacts of economic and geopolitical events in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China ("Greater China"), the impact of terrorist acts (particularly in Europe), disease epidemics and a slowdown in emerging market growth (particularly in Asia) have contributed to this uncertainty.

New in FY2016

Our results have been negatively impacted by foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and will continue to fluctuate with future volatility.

New in FY2016

Certain of our wholesale customers, particularly those located in the U.S., have become highly promotional and have aggressively marked down their merchandise.

New in FY2016

Despite our planned reduction in markdown allowances during fiscal 2017, such promotional activity could negatively impact our brands, which could affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

New in FY2016

Over the next year, we expect to continue investing in the elevation of shop-in-shop environments, and rationalizing the distribution footprint in the North America wholesale channel by closing about 25% of doors from fiscal 2016 year-end levels.

New in FY2016

As a result of these factors, several organizations that monitor the world's economy, including the International Monetary Fund, have modestly decreased overall global growth forecasts for the remainder of calendar 2016 and calendar 2017.

New in FY2016

Furthermore, refer to Part I, Item 1 - "Business," for additional discussion on our expected store openings and closures within each of our segments.

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

Dropped from FY2015

| • | Grow our business in North America and worldwide, by transforming from a leading international accessories Company into a global lifestyle brand, anchored in luxury accessories. |

Dropped from FY2015

| • | Leverage the global opportunity for Coach by raising brand awareness and building market share in markets where Coach is under-penetrated, most notably in Asia and Europe. We are also developing the brand opportunity as we expand into South America and Central America. |

Dropped from FY2015

| • | Focus on the Men’s opportunity for the brand, by drawing on our long heritage in the category. We are capitalizing on this opportunity by opening new standalone and dual gender stores and broadening the men’s assortment in existing stores. |

Dropped from FY2015

| • | Harness the growing power of the digital world, 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. Key elements include www.coach.com, our invitation-only outlet Internet site, our global e-commerce sites, marketing sites and social media. |

Dropped from FY2015

growth can be realized through these transformational efforts over time.

Dropped from FY2015

Furthermore, as discussed in Note 7, "Acquisitions," the Company acquired luxury designer footwear brand Stuart Weitzman, which we believe will complement our current leadership position in premium handbags and accessories, while immediately adding to the Company's earnings as we continue to make meaningful progress towards our brand transformation.

Dropped from FY2015

The acquisition was consummated on May 4, 2015, and the brand contributed $43.0 million in net sales in fiscal 2015, included within our Other segment.

Dropped from FY2015

In addition to the risks surrounding the successful execution of our Transformation Plan initiatives, our outlook reflects a certain level of uncertainty surrounding the global economy.

Dropped from FY2015

The global economic environment continues to have an impact on consumer confidence, which in turn influences the level of spending on discretionary items.

Dropped from FY2015

Macroeconomic and geopolitical events in Greater China and southeast Asia have contributed to volatility in consumer spending within the region.

Dropped from FY2015

Furthermore, it is still too early to understand the impact, if any, of MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) on consumer spending in Asia, including the impact on tourism in the region.

Dropped from FY2015

As discussed in Part I, Item 1 - "Business" and as part of our Transformation Plan as described in Note 3, "Transformation and Other Actions," in fiscal 2015, we have reduced the number of retail stores and total square footage within North America, as we continue to optimize our real estate position.

Dropped from FY2015

We expect this trend to continue in the next fiscal year with the anticipated closure of approximately 15-20 North America retail stores in fiscal 2016, attributable to our Transformation Plan.

Dropped from FY2015

We expect to continue to see modest to no growth in North America outlet store square footage as we continue to optimize our real estate position across channels by expanding our most productive stores to accommodate a broader expression of lifestyle assortment while continuing to assess opportunities to close under-performing stores.

Dropped from FY2015

Within our International segment, we are expecting to reflect modest growth in our store count over the next few years, particularly within mainland China and Europe.

Dropped from FY2015

Lastly, within Stuart Weitzman, we are expecting modest growth in our real estate position over the next year.

Dropped from FY2015

This compares to net sales of $4.81 billion, net income of $781.3 million, and net income per diluted share of $2.79 in fiscal 2014.

Dropped from FY2015

New in FY2016

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” ("ASU 2015-17") as part of its simplification initiative.

New in FY2016

Under the ASU, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheets.

New in FY2016

Other than the balance sheet reclassification of current deferred tax assets and liabilities to noncurrent, this standard did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

accounting for business combinations.

New in FY2016

Under the ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

New in FY2016

The ASU also requires acquirers to present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

New in FY2016

The requirements of the new standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

New in FY2016

The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, with no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

New in FY2016

Refer to Note 7, "Acquisitions," for further discussion.

New in FY2016

This ASU requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for nearly all leases (other than short-term leases), as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of existing impacted leases.

New in FY2016

The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

New in FY2016
