Rewritten

The successful execution of our [removed: multi-year transformation and] operational efficiency [added: and multi-year transformation] initiatives is key to the long-term growth of our business.

Rewritten

Key operational and cost elements in order to fund and execute this plan included: (i) the investment in capital improvements in our stores and wholesale locations to drive comparable sales improvement; (ii) the optimization and streamlining of our organizational model as well as the closure of underperforming stores in North America, and select International [removed: stores,] [added: stores;] (iii) the realignment of inventory levels and mix to reflect our elevated product strategy and consumer preferences; (iv) the investment in incremental advertising costs to elevate consumer perception of our Coach brand, drive sales growth and promote our new strategy; and (v) the significant scale-back of our promotional cadence in an increased global promotional environment, particularly within our outlet Internet sales site.

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

Rewritten

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, the] [added: 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 [removed: center,] [added: 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.

One component of our growth strategy is acquisitions, such as our acquisition of Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC during fiscal [removed: 2015.][added: 2015 and our recent acquisition of Kate Spade & Company on July 11, 2017.]

Rewritten

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

Rewritten

Our failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired business, including Stuart [removed: Weitzman,] [added: Weitzman and/or Kate Spade,] and any adverse consequences associated with future acquisition activities, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Rewritten

We determined there was no impairment in fiscal [removed: 2016,] [added: 2017,] fiscal [removed: 2015] [added: 2016] and fiscal [removed: 2014;] [added: 2015;] however, we cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of assets.

Rewritten

In addition, we maintain e-commerce sites in the U.S., Canada, [removed: U.K.,] Japan, mainland [removed: China and] [added: China,] South Korea and [added: several throughout Europe and] have plans for additional e-commerce sites in other parts of the world.

Rewritten

Additionally, Coach has informational websites in various countries, as described in Item I, "Business." [removed: Lastly, our] [added: Our] e-commerce programs also include an invitation-only Coach outlet flash sale site.

Rewritten

The success of our business depends on our ability to retain the value of [removed: the Coach brand and the Stuart Weitzman brand] [added: our brands] and to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner.

Rewritten

We believe that the Coach brand, established [added: over] 75 years ago, is regarded as America's preeminent designer, producer, and marketer of fine accessories and gifts for women and men.

Rewritten

Our success also depends in part on our ability to execute on our plans and strategies, including our [removed: Transformation Plan and] operational efficiency [removed: initiatives.][added: initiatives and Transformation Plan.]

Rewritten

| • | compliance with U.S. laws regarding the identification and reporting on the use of “conflict minerals” sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the Company’s products and the [removed: FCPA and] [added: FCPA,] U.K. Bribery [removed: Act,] [added: Act and other global anti-corruption laws,] as applicable; |

Rewritten

We lease [added: the majority of] our [removed: corporate-owned] stores under long-term, non-cancelable leases, which usually have initial terms ranging from five and ten years, [added: often] with renewal [removed: options typically in five year increments.][added: options.]

Rewritten

We believe that the [added: majority of the] leases we enter into in the future will likely be long-term and [removed: non-cancelable and have similar renewal options.][added: non-cancelable.]

Rewritten

If we determine that it is no longer economical to operate a retail store subject to a lease and decide to close it as we have done in the past and will do in the future, we may remain obligated under the applicable lease for, among other things, [removed: payment of the base rent for the balance of the lease term.]

Rewritten

[added: In some instances, we may be] unable to close an underperforming retail store due to continuous operation clauses in our lease agreements.

Rewritten

Our [removed: transformation plan and] operational efficiency initiatives [removed: and their attendant organizational changes,] as well as [removed: the impact of Brexit,] [added: acquisitions and related integration activity] may intensify this risk.

Rewritten

Our North American wholesale business comprised approximately [removed: 4%] [added: 3%] of total net sales for fiscal [removed: 2016.][added: 2017.]

Rewritten

Despite our [removed: 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.

Rewritten

Further, proposed tax changes that may be enacted in the future could [removed: negatively] impact our current or future tax structure and effective tax rates.

Rewritten

[removed: Because Coach brand's products are frequently given as gifts, we] [added: We] have historically realized, and expect to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of our fiscal [removed: year, which includes the holiday months of November and December.][added: year.]

Rewritten

[removed: We] [added: The Coach brand] currently [removed: have] [added: has] multi-year agreements with licensing partners for our [removed: footwear,] eyewear, watches and fragrance products.

Rewritten

For example, we [removed: do] [added: did] not [removed: intend to] renew our agreement with our [removed: existing] [added: prior] footwear licensing partner when it [removed: expires] [added: expired] in late fiscal [removed: 2017,] [added: 2017] and [removed: bring] [added: brought] the category in-house.

Rewritten

While we believe we have the infrastructure and systems in place to [added: successfully] bring this category in-house, we may face unexpected difficulties or costs in connection with this [removed: process.][added: process or any future action to bring currently licensed categories in-house.]

Rewritten

[removed: Our] [added: In addition, our] ability to access the credit and capital markets in the future as a source of funding, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, is dependent upon market conditions and our credit rating and outlook.

Rewritten

The Company's charter permits [added: a majority of] its [added: entire] Board, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company has the authority to issue.

Rewritten

In addition, the Company's Board may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock and may set the preferences, rights and other terms of the classified or reclassified [added: shares.]

Rewritten

Although the Company's Board has no intention to do so at the present time, it could establish a [added: class or] series of preferred stock that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for the Company's common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of the Company's stockholders.

Rewritten

The Company's bylaws [removed: also] provide that nominations of persons for election to the Company's Board and the proposal of business to be considered at [removed: a stockholders] [added: an annual] meeting [added: of stockholders] may be made only in the notice of the meeting, by the Company's Board or by a stockholder who is [added: a stockholder of record as of the record date set by the Company's Board for purposes of determining stockholders] entitled to vote at the [added: meeting, at the time of giving notice and at the time of the] meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures of the Company's bylaws.

New in FY2017

U.S. lawmakers are evaluating proposals for substantial changes to U.S. fiscal and tax policies, which could include comprehensive tax reform.

New in FY2017

A variety of tax reform proposals that would significantly impact U.S. taxation of corporations are under consideration, including elimination of the interest deduction, taxation of previously unrepatriated foreign earnings and reductions in the U.S. corporate tax rate.

New in FY2017

We cannot predict which, if any, of these proposals will be enacted into law or the resulting impact any such enactment will have on our financial results.

New in FY2017

However, if new legislation were enacted, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

New in FY2017

We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could restrict our ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness.

New in FY2017

As of July 1, 2017, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.6 billion.

New in FY2017

Subsequent to fiscal year 2017, we borrowed $1.1 billion in term loans.

New in FY2017

Together with our cash on hand and cash on hand at Kate Spade, along with the $1.0 billion of Senior Notes and $1.1 billion in term loans, we financed our acquisition of Kate Spade.

New in FY2017

We also have $600 million of additional senior unsecured notes outstanding and capacity to borrow up to $900 million of additional indebtedness under our undrawn revolving credit facility, which may be used to finance our working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes.

New in FY2017

This substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences to our business including making it more difficult to satisfy our debt obligations, increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate and restricting us from pursuing certain business opportunities.

New in FY2017

In addition, the terms of our credit facility contain affirmative and negative covenants, including a leverage ratio, as well as limitations on our ability to incur debt, grant liens, engage in mergers and dispose of assets.

New in FY2017

These consequences and limitations could reduce the benefits we expect to achieve from the acquisition of Kate Spade or impede our ability to engage in future business opportunities or strategic acquisitions.

New in FY2017

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash from our operations.

New in FY2017

This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

New in FY2017

We cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make payments of our debt, fund other liquidity needs and make planned capital expenditures.

Dropped from FY2016

The Company entered into various agreements relating to the development of the Company’s new global corporate headquarters in a new office building located at 10 Hudson Yards in New York City.

Dropped from 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.

Dropped from FY2016

The Company has simultaneously entered into a 20-year lease for the headquarters space, comprised of approximately 694,000 square feet.

New in FY2017

The Company recorded $14.2 million of impairment charges in fiscal 2017 and no material impairment charges in fiscal 2016.

New in FY2017

The impairment charge recognized is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

New in FY2017

Certain reclassifications on the Consolidated Balance Sheet have been made to the prior period's financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation.

New in FY2017

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step from the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

New in FY2017

Under this guidance, annual or interim goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.

New in FY2017

Therefore, the impact on the consolidated financial statements will be dependent upon future events which are unpredictable.

New in FY2017

The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

New in FY2017

The Company expects the guidance will result in a significant increase to long-term assets and long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income.

New in FY2017

The model will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance, and also requires enhanced revenue-related disclosures.

New in FY2017

The FASB has also issued several related ASUs which provide additional implementation guidance and clarify the requirements of the model.

New in FY2017

The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

New in FY2017

The Company currently has a cross-functional implementation team in place that is performing a comprehensive evaluation of the impact.

New in FY2017

The Company’s evaluation efforts to date have included a review of current

New in FY2017

accounting policies and processes, as well as typical terms in contracts with customers, to identify potential differences upon the adoption of the new standard.

New in FY2017

Based on these efforts, the Company currently anticipates that the performance obligations underlying its core revenue streams (i.e., its retail and wholesale businesses), and the timing of revenue recognition thereof, will remain substantially unchanged.

New in FY2017

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on ancillary sources of revenue, such as its licensing business, which represented approximately 1% of total net sales in fiscal 2017.

New in FY2017

The Company is currently assessing whether the timing of recognizing contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amounts will change.

New in FY2017

The Company has not yet determined whether the guidance will be adopted using the full retrospective restatement of all prior periods presented, or using the modified retrospective basis with a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of initial adoption.

New in FY2017

During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred Operational Efficiency Plan related charges within SG&A expenses of $24.0 million and $43.9 million, respectively, primarily due to organizational efficiency costs, technology infrastructure costs and to a lesser extent, network optimization costs.

New in FY2017

Total cumulative charges incurred under the Operational Efficiency Plan to date are $67.9 million.

New in FY2017

The remaining charges under this plan approximate $10\-15 million and will be incurred in fiscal 2018.
