Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

60 rewritten, 89 added, 16 removed, 273 unchanged

Rewritten

One component of our growth strategy [removed: is] [added: historically has been] acquisitions, such as our acquisition of Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC during fiscal 2015 and our acquisition of Kate Spade & Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Rewritten

[removed: Our] [added: Although acquisitions are not currently contemplated in the Company's near term strategy, our] management team has and, in the future, will consider growth strategies and expected synergies when considering any acquisition; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable candidates or consummate these transactions on acceptable terms.

Rewritten

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

Rewritten

We [removed: determined there was no impairment in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017; however, we] cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any potential future impairment of assets.

Rewritten

The Company embarked on a multi-year ERP implementation in fiscal [removed: 2017.][added: 2017, which was completed in fiscal 2020.]

Rewritten

[added: Implementing new systems] carries substantial risk, including failure to operate as designed, failure to properly integrate with other systems, potential loss of data or information, cost overruns, implementation delays and disruption of operations.

Rewritten

Third-party vendors are also relied upon to design, program, maintain and service our ERP [removed: implementation program.][added: systems.]

Rewritten

In addition, any disruptions or malfunctions affecting our [added: new] ERP [removed: implementation plan] [added: systems] could [added: lead to the inability to deliver the optimal level of merchandise to our brands' stores or customers in a timely manner and/or] cause critical information upon which we rely to be delayed, defective, corrupted, inadequate or inaccessible.

Rewritten

The growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategies, including our [removed: efforts to expand internationally into a] global [removed: house of lifestyle brands.][added: omni-channel expansion efforts.]

Rewritten

Our growth depends on the continued success of existing products, as well as the successful [removed: design and] [added: design,] introduction of new [removed: products.][added: products and maintaining an appropriate rationalization of our assortment.]

Rewritten

The failure to develop and launch successful new products [added: or to rationalize our assortment appropriately] could hinder the growth of our business.

Rewritten

In addition, some of these [removed: markets] [added: markets, either through bricks and mortar stores or digital channels,] have different operational characteristics, including but not limited to employment and labor, [added: privacy,] transportation, logistics, real estate, environmental regulations and local reporting or legal requirements.

Rewritten

Further, [removed: such] [added: expanding in certain] markets [removed: will] [added: may] have upfront investment costs that may not be accompanied by sufficient revenues to achieve typical or expected operational and financial performance and therefore may be dilutive to our brands in the short-term.

Rewritten

Consequently, if our [removed: international] [added: global omni-channel] expansion plans are unsuccessful, or we are unable to retain and/or attract key personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially adversely affected.

Rewritten

We operate on a global basis, with approximately [removed: 43.7%] [added: 42.8%] of our net sales coming from operations outside of United States.

On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty formally starting [removed: negotiations] [added: a 2 year negotiation period] with the [removed: E.U.] [added: E.U., which was subsequently extended to January 31, 2020.] The U.K. [removed: and] [added: officially terminated its membership of the] E.U. [removed: announced in March 2018 an agreement in principle to transitional provisions] [added: on January 31, 2020] under [removed: which E.U. law would remain in force in] the [removed: U.K. until the end of December 2020, but this remains subject to the successful conclusion] [added: terms] of a [removed: final] withdrawal agreement [added: concluded] between the [removed: parties. As a consequence, the] [added: U.K. and] E.U. and [removed: U.K. agreed to postpone Brexit] [added: is now a transition phase] until [removed: October] [added: December] 31, [removed: 2019. This date] [added: 2020. During the transition phase, the U.K.] will [removed: be accelerated to anytime between now and October 31, 2019] [added: generally continue operating as] if [added: it were still] a [removed: withdrawal agreement is successfully concluded] [added: member of the E.U. Trade talks] between the [removed: parties] [added: E.U.] and [removed: ratified by U.K. parliament. Increased uncertainty surrounds future Brexit talks due] [added: U.K.,] to [removed: the new leadership of] [added: determine their future relationship, are still underway. If a trade deal is not reached by December 31, 2020,] the [removed: British government following Theresa May’s resignation as Prime Minister] [added: U.K. can expect checks and tariffs] on [removed: June 7, 2019] [added: products going to] and [added: coming from] the [removed: election of Boris Johnson] [added: E.U. beginning] on [removed: July 23, 2019. In the absence of] [added: January 1, 2021. If] a [removed: withdrawal agreement there would be no transitional provisions] [added: trade deal is not reached by December 31, 2020, the U.K. can expect checks] and [removed: a "hard" Brexit would occur] [added: tariffs] on [removed: October 31, 2019.] [added: products going to and coming from the E.U. beginning on January 1, 2021.] Although the terms of the U.K.'s future relationship with the E.U. are still unknown, 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 relationships with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees and resulting in increased cost by way of new or elevated customs duties or financial implications from operational challenges; |

Rewritten

| • | natural and other disasters; [removed: and] |

Rewritten

We face risks associated with potential changes to international trade agreements and the imposition of additional duties on importing our [removed: products][added: products.]

Rewritten

[removed: This] [added: While the trade deal remains effective, there is no guarantee that the agreement will be honored by either party, which] could in turn adversely affect the profitability for these products and have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of [removed: operations.][added: operations as a result.]

Rewritten

Our results can be impacted by a number of macroeconomic factors, including but not limited to consumer confidence and spending levels, tax rates, unemployment, consumer credit availability, raw materials costs, [added: pandemics (such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic) and natural disasters,] fuel and energy costs (including oil prices), global factory production, commercial real estate market conditions, credit market conditions and the level of customer traffic in malls and shopping centers.

Rewritten

Unfavorable economic [removed: conditions] [added: conditions, as well as travel restrictions and potential changes in consumer behavior resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic,] may also reduce consumers’ willingness and ability to travel to major cities and vacation destinations in which our stores are located.

Rewritten

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 [removed: in consumer spending patterns.]

Rewritten

If we misjudge the market for our products [added: or demand for our products are impacted by an unforeseen factor, such as the Covid-19 pandemic,] we may be faced with significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products.

Rewritten

Furthermore, the cost of transportation may fluctuate significantly if oil prices show [added: volatility.]

Rewritten

The success of our retail stores located within malls and shopping centers may be impacted by (1) [added: closures, operating restrictions and changes in consumer shopping behavior as a result of] the [added: Covid-19 pandemic; (2) the] location of the store within the mall or shopping center; [removed: (2)] [added: (3)] surrounding tenants or vacancies; [removed: (3)] [added: (4)] increased competition in areas where malls or shopping centers are located; [removed: (4)] [added: (5)] the amount spent on advertising and promotion to attract consumers to the mall; and [removed: (5)] [added: (6)] a shift towards online shopping resulting in a decrease in mall traffic.

Rewritten

Any misstep in product quality or design, [added: executive leadership,] customer service, marketing, unfavorable publicity or excessive product discounting could negatively affect the image of our brands with our customers.

Rewritten

Our success also depends in part on our [added: and our executive leadership team's] ability to execute on our plans and strategies.

Rewritten

We may also incur significant costs implementing additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security or privacy threats, or to comply with current and new state, federal and international laws governing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential [added: and personal] information which are continuously being enacted and proposed such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the E.U. and the California Consumer Privacy Act in California, U.S.A., as well as increased cyber security protection costs such as organizational changes, [added: Covid-19 employee and visitor health checks] deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, engaging third party experts and consultants and lost revenues resulting from unauthorized use of proprietary information including our intellectual property.

Rewritten

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

Rewritten

[added: Additionally, Tapestry has informational websites in various countries, as described in Item I, "Business."] Given the robust nature of our e-commerce presence and digital strategy, it is imperative that we and our e-commerce partners maintain uninterrupted operation of our: (i) computer hardware, (ii) software systems, (iii) customer marketing databases, and (iv) ability to email our current and potential customers.

Rewritten

At the same time, however, we recognize [removed: that] [added: that, when possible,] it is helpful to provide investors with guidance as to our forecast of net sales, operating income, net interest expense, earnings per diluted share and other financial metrics or projections.

Rewritten

[removed: While we generally expect] [added: We have decided] to [removed: provide updates] [added: continue] to [removed: our financial] [added: not provide] guidance [removed: when we report our results each fiscal quarter,] [added: at this time and] we do not have any responsibility to [added: do so going forward or to] update any of our forward-looking statements at such times or otherwise.

Rewritten

Investors may have an expectation that we will [removed: continue to pay] [added: resume] our [removed: quarterly] dividend at [added: a] certain [added: time and at certain] levels and / or repurchase shares available under our common stock repurchase program.

Rewritten

The market price of our securities could be adversely affected if our cash dividend rate or common stock repurchase activity differs [removed: from investors’ expectations.]

Rewritten

If any of these centers were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason, [added: including as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic,] we could suffer a substantial loss of inventory and/or disruptions of deliveries to our retail and wholesale customers.

New in FY2020

The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions are and may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

New in FY2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted a significant majority of the regions in which we operate, disrupting operations, consumer spending and global supply chains and creating significant disruption and volatility of financial markets.

New in FY2020

The impacts of Covid-19 have and may continue to materially adversely impact our operations, cash flow and liquidity.

New in FY2020

In March 2020, the outbreak was labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization.

New in FY2020

National, state and local governments have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, by declaring states of emergency, restricting people from gathering in groups or interacting within a certain physical distance (i.e., social distancing), requiring individuals to stay at home, and in most cases, ordering non-essential businesses to close or limit operations.

New in FY2020

The Company had temporarily closed the majority of its directly operated stores globally for some period of time to help reduce the spread of Covid-19.

New in FY2020

As of the end of the fiscal year, the vast majority of the Company’s stores had been re-opened for either in-store or curb-side service.

New in FY2020

Many of the Company’s wholesale partners also closed their bricks and mortar stores as required by government orders during the third and fourth fiscal quarter.

New in FY2020

The global Covid-19 pandemic is continuing to evolve rapidly and the extent to which the pandemic ultimately impacts our results and our business - including unforeseen increased costs to our business - will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the ultimate duration, severity and sustained geographic spread of the virus, such as the possibility of a "second wave" of increased infections, and the success of actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others.

New in FY2020

While the full magnitude of the effects on our business is difficult to predict at this time, the Covid-19 pandemic has and is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New in FY2020

Although the ultimate severity and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is uncertain at this time and depends on future events outside of our control, our business is expected to continue to be adversely impacted by several factors, including, but not limited to:

New in FY2020

| • | The potential economic effects of the pandemic, including a possible recession, increased unemployment and decreased consumer credit availability, may result in lower consumer confidence and decreased disposable income and discretionary spending levels, which may lead to reduced sales of our products. Unfavorable economic conditions, fears of becoming ill and sustained travel restrictions may also reduce consumers’ willingness and ability to travel to major cities and vacation destinations in which the Company’s stores are located. Furthermore, reduced discretionary spending may result in an excess of inventory throughout the industry, which could lead to increased pressure on our gross margin in the near term if the Company has to increase promotional activity above its normal levels to sell through its existing product. |

New in FY2020

| • | Social distancing measures and general consumer behaviors due to the Covid-19 pandemic may continue to impact mall and store traffic even after stores return to normal operations, which may have a further negative impact on our business. Furthermore, declines in traffic beyond our current exceptions could result in additional impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value. |

New in FY2020

| • | The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in disruption to the financial markets and caused significant volatility and adverse impact on the value of our common stock. On March 30, 2020, we borrowed $700 million under our $900 million Revolving Credit Facility. If a significant number of our stores are required to close again or sales are lower than expected for an extended period of time, our liquidity may continue to be negatively impacted and we may need to draw additional funds from our Revolving Credit Facility or seek additional sources of financing, which may or may not be available. The Company is subject to additional requirements under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and its Senior Notes as described in "*We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could restrict our ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness"* below. |

New in FY2020

| • | While we are making significant efforts to reduce our non-essential SG&A expenses, including but not limited to, through discussions with our landlords and other vendors to obtain rent and other relief, we may not be successful in these endeavors and may be subject to continued expenses and potential litigation or claims from such landlords and vendors. |

New in FY2020

| • | We continue to sell products through our stores that have re-opened and through our e-commerce sites. The majority of our distribution centers remain open and operational through the date of this report; however, such distribution centers may be forced to close or limit operations due to governmental mandates, health and safety concerns, or illness or absence of a substantial number of distribution center employees. Our third party logistics providers may also experience delays in fulfilling our orders to our customers. |

New in FY2020

| • | We source and manufacture our products on a global scale and may experience material temporary or long-term disruption in our supply chain, given the global reach of the Covid-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions, closures or disruptions of business and facilities or social, economic, political or labor instability in the affected areas may impact the operations of our raw material suppliers or manufacturing partners. |

New in FY2020

The successful execution of our Acceleration Program is key to the long-term success of our business.

New in FY2020

The Company is undergoing a review of its business under the Acceleration Program.

New in FY2020

The guiding principle of this multi-year growth agenda is to better meet the needs of each of its brands' unique customers by (i) Sharpening our Focus on the Customer (ii) Leveraging Data and Leading with a Digital-First Mindset and (iii) Transforming into a Leaner and More Responsive Organization.

New in FY2020

The Company believes the successful execution of these priorities will fuel desire for the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands, driving accelerated revenue growth, higher gross margins and substantial operating leverage across Tapestry’s portfolio.

New in FY2020

The Acceleration Program reflects: (i) actions to streamline the Company's organization; (ii) select store closures as the Company optimizes its fleet (including store closure costs incurred as the Company exits certain regions in which it currently operates); and (iii) professional fees and compensation costs incurred as a result of the development and execution of the Company's comprehensive strategic initiatives aimed at increasing profitability.

New in FY2020

The Company believes that long-term growth and increased profitability can be realized through its strategic growth efforts over time.

New in FY2020

However, there is no assurance that we will be able to implement such efforts in accordance with our plans, that such efforts will result in the intended or otherwise desirable outcomes or that such efforts, even if successfully implemented, will be effective in achieving long-term growth or increased profitability.

New in FY2020

Further, recent or future changes in our executive leadership team may have an adverse effect on our ability to implement or to achieve favorable results under the Acceleration Program and/or result in further changes to our strategy.

New in FY2020

If our execution of the initiatives under our Acceleration Program falls short, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially adversely affected.

New in FY2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted and will likely continue to impact many of these factors.

New in FY2020

| • | public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemic diseases (including the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic); |

New in FY2020

| • | political and civil unrest, such as the recent protests in Hong Kong SAR, China and in the United States; and |

New in FY2020

In certain cases, as we have done in the past, we may determine that it is no longer economical to operate a retail store subject to a lease or we may seek to generally downsize, consolidate, reposition, relocate or close some of our real estate locations.

New in FY2020

For example, in connection with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and our Acceleration Program, we are in active negotiations with our landlords on certain store exits.

New in FY2020

Additionally, due to the volatile economic environment, it may be difficult to determine the fair market value of real estate properties when we are deciding whether to enter into leases or renew expiring leases.

New in FY2020

This may impact our ability to manage the

New in FY2020

profitability of our store locations, or cause impairments of our lease right of use assets if market values decline, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

New in FY2020

Our success and growth also depends on the continued development of our omni-channel presence for each of our brands globally, leaning into global digital opportunities for each brand, along with continued bricks and mortar expansion in select international regions, notably mainland China.

New in FY2020

We may also have to compete for talent in international regions as we expand our omni-channel presence.

New in FY2020

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the majority of our corporate employees and contractors have worked remotely for some time and many continue to do so, which has increased our dependence on digital technology during this period.

New in FY2020

However, in January 2020, the U.S. and China reached a phase one trade deal which reduced tariffs to 7.5% on some of the $300 billion of select imports without imposing any retaliatory tariffs on the rest of the products.

New in FY2020

in consumer spending patterns.

New in FY2020

On May 19, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility, which requires us to maintain available liquidity of $700 million through October 2, 2021, and waives compliance with our leverage ratio covenant through the date our compliance certificate is delivered for the fiscal quarter ending July 3, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”).

Dropped from FY2019

If the U.S. follows through on its further proposed China tariffs, or if the U.S. or other countries impose additional duties, taxes, quotas and/or withdraw from or materially modify trade agreements or other trade restrictions, the cost of our products manufactured in China or such other countries and imported into the U.S. or other countries could increase.

Covid-19 Pandemic

New in FY2020

Tapestry began fiscal 2020 with a focus on profitable growth through innovation, global expansion, investing in digital capabilities, and harnessing the power of a multi-brand model.

New in FY2020

However, the Covid-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on our business globally.

New in FY2020

As a result, while the Company remains confident in its long-term strategy, its short-term focus has pivoted towards adapting to these challenges.

New in FY2020

The Covid-19 virus has impacted regions all around the world, resulting in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities.

New in FY2020

Consequently, the spread of Covid-19 has caused significant global business disruptions, including full and partial store closures.

New in FY2020

As a result of the widespread impact of Covid-19, Tapestry had temporarily closed the majority of its directly operated stores in globally for some period of time to help reduce the spread of Covid-19.

New in FY2020

As of the end of the fiscal year, the vast majority of the Company's stores have reopened for either in-store or curb-side service.

New in FY2020

Many of our wholesale and licensing partners have also closed their bricks and mortar stores as required by government orders during the third and fourth quarter.

New in FY2020

In response to this challenging environment, the Company's focus is on the following actions:

New in FY2020

A Focus on Revenue

New in FY2020

| • | Re-opening stores as quickly as possible, while following governmental and public health guidelines; and |

New in FY2020

| • | Aggressively leaning into the global digital opportunity for all brands. Ensuring that our e-commerce platforms and distribution centers remain operational across all major regions. |

New in FY2020

Eliminating Non-Essential Operating Costs Across All Key Areas of Spend

New in FY2020

| • | Driving SG&A savings through the right-sizing of marketing expenses to adjust to the lower revenue base, while maintaining a focus on digital; reducing fixed costs such as rent; driving procurement savings, including reducing external third party services. |

New in FY2020

Strengthening the Company’s Balance Sheet and Enhancing Financial Flexibility

New in FY2020

| • | Tightly managing inventories by reflowing product introductions and cancelling inventory receipts for late summer/early fall 2020; and |

New in FY2020

| • | Reducing capital expenditures by delaying or cancelling new store openings, while prioritizing investment in high-return projects aligned with the multi-year growth agenda, notably in digital. |

Dropped from FY2019

The company continues to focus on execution in fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

| • | Ignite brand growth driven by innovation |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | Drive global growth, with a focus on maximizing opportunities with the Chinese consumer |

| • | Invest in our digital and data analytic capabilities |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | Harness the benefit of the multi-brand structure |

Dropped from FY2019

During fiscal 2018, the Company implemented a global consolidation system which provides a common platform for financial reporting, a point-of-sale system for Coach in North America as well as a human resource information system for Corporate, Coach and Stuart Weitzman employees.

Dropped from FY2019

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company deployed global finance, accounting, supply chain and human resource information systems for Kate Spade.

Dropped from FY2019

The Company expects to incur charges of approximately $30 to $40 million in fiscal 2020 related to this project.

Dropped from FY2019

During fiscal 2019, Stuart Weitzman results continued to be negatively impacted by the trailing impacts of the supply chain operational challenges which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, including production delays, which caused lower than expected sales, as the brand was not prepared for the level of complexity and new development as it transitioned to a new creative vision.

Dropped from FY2019

The Company has addressed these challenges through investment in talent, as well as added infrastructure and manufacturing capacity.

Dropped from FY2019

As a result of these investments, Stuart Weitzman returned to sales growth in fiscal 2019.

Dropped from FY2019

Impact of Tax Legislation

Dropped from FY2019

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Legislation") was enacted.

Dropped from FY2019

The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. tax code by (i) lowering the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) implementing a territorial tax system, (iii) imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"), (iv) requiring current inclusion of global intangible low taxed income ("GILTI") of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations in U.S. federal taxable income, (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT"), (vi) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property, (vii) enacting a beneficial rate to be applied against Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) and (viii) limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense, among other changes.

Dropped from FY2019

Notable changes include the following:

Dropped from FY2019

| • | Foreign earnings that generated after December 31, 2017 will generally be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction, however companies may be subject to the alternative BEAT and GILTI tax regimes which could increase the global effective tax rate. Conversely, companies may be eligible for a reduced rate to the extent their earnings qualify as FDII, which would reduce their global effective tax rate. Of these tax provisions, the GILTI and FDII provisions have impacted the Company in fiscal year 2019. The Company does not anticipate any impact under the BEAT provision. Under GILTI, a portion of the Company’s foreign earnings will be subject to U.S. taxation. For companies subject to GILTI, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has indicated that companies are allowed to record tax associated with GILTI as a period cost in the period the earnings are included on the U.S. tax return. The Company has chosen this policy. |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | The Tax Legislation includes, what many believe, is an unintended consequence that results in certain leasehold improvements, being ineligible for bonus depreciation. The Company has estimated fiscal year 2019 depreciation expense based on how the law was drafted, with no consideration of the perceived legislative intent. The Company has estimated its capital expenditures by class to estimate depreciation expense for purposes of calculating the rate change adjustment of our deferred tax balance. To the extent that legislative actions on Qualified Improvement Property ("QIP") are retroactive, the overall effect associated with the remeasurement of deferred taxes will impact the Company's effective tax rate. |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | At this time, it is unknown whether certain states in which the Company operates will conform to the Tax Legislation or adopt an alternative regime. The Company continues to monitor developments; at this time all material aspects of its provision for income tax for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019 are recorded based on recent guidance or its historical approach to state tax expense. |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | The Company applied the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 when accounting for the enactment- date of the Tax Legislation for the twelve-month period following the date of the enactment. As of the fiscal year ended June 29, 2019, the Company completed the accounting for the enactment date income tax effects of the Tax Legislation pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, for the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and one-time transition tax. The amounts recorded were further adjusted due to additional guidance released during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The amounts recorded are subject to adjustment as further regulations or additional guidance becomes available. |

Dropped from FY2019

The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $20 to $30 million in pre-tax charges, of which the majority are expected to be cash charges, in fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

Operational Efficiency Plan

Dropped from FY2019

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a series of operational efficiency initiatives focused on creating an agile and scalable business model (the "Operational Efficiency Plan").

Dropped from FY2019

The significant majority of the charges under this plan were recorded within SG&A expense.

Dropped from FY2019

These charges were 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.

Dropped from FY2019

Under this plan, the Company incurred charges of $87.4 million.

Dropped from FY2019

The plan was completed in fiscal 2018.

Dropped from FY2019

Global consumer retail traffic trends remain under pressure.

Dropped from FY2019

This, along with other factors, has led to a more promotional environment in the fragmented retail industry due to increased competition and a desire to offset traffic declines with increased levels of conversion.

Dropped from FY2019

Further declines in traffic could result in store impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value.

Dropped from FY2019

Several organizations that monitor the world's economy, including the International Monetary Fund, observed that global expansion is slowing at a rate that is somewhat faster than expected.

Dropped from FY2019

These organizations expect continued softening of the growth rates in the United States throughout the next two years, and also observed challenging economic growth across markets around the globe recently.

Dropped from FY2019

Furthermore, there are factors noted that may pressure the economic growth levels currently anticipated.

Dropped from FY2019

As a result, the current global outlook remains uncertain.

Dropped from FY2019

It is still too early to understand what kind of sustained impact these trends or changes in trade agreements and tax legislations will have on consumer discretionary spending.

Dropped from FY2019

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Trump Administration began to impose duties of 10% related to certain Chinese-made imported products.

Dropped from FY2019

In May 2019, the United States increased the tariff rate from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of imports of select product categories into the U.S. from China.

Dropped from FY2019

On August 1, 2019, the Trump Administration announced that the U.S. plans to implement an additional tariff of 10% on the remaining $300 billion of products imported into the U.S. from China on September 1, 2019.

Dropped from FY2019

The Company continues to monitor this development closely and supports strategies that help diffuse these trade tensions with China.

Dropped from FY2019

We expect these changes to have a modest impact on gross margin in fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company noted volatility in the spending patterns of certain North American customers, believed to be resellers, in advance of changes in Chinese e-commerce laws effective January 1, 2019.

Dropped from FY2019

On August 12, 2019, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Tapestry, Inc. Special Severance Plan (the “Plan”), which is intended to provide benefits to designated employees of the Company who are members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (as determined in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA) in the event their employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason (each as defined in the Plan) upon or within 24 months following a Change in Control (a “Qualifying Termination”).

Dropped from FY2019

In the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Company shall provide the participants under the Plan with severance payment amounts equal to the sum of such participant’s Base Salary plus Bonus (each as defined in the Plan) multiplied by the Severance Multiple (as defined in the Plan) applicable to each participant, in addition to COBRA, accelerated vesting of unvested awards granted on or after August 12, 2019 and other benefits as described in the Plan.

Dropped from FY2019

The Severance Multiple for (i) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall by two and one-half times and (ii) for other executive officers, including the Company’s other named executive officers, shall be one and one-half times.

Dropped from FY2019

The Severance Multiples for other participants are described in the Plan.

Dropped from FY2019

The receipt of severance benefits under the Plan is conditioned on a participant’s execution and non-revocation of general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

Dropped from FY2019

Participants are also required to comply with certain post-termination restrictive covenants, including non-competition and employee and customer non-solicitation provisions.

Dropped from FY2019

If any payments or benefits under the Plan would be considered “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then such payments will either be (i) reduced so than no portion of the payments is subject to the excise tax or (ii) delivered in full, whichever of the foregoing results in the participant receiving a greater amount on a net after-tax basis, taking into account all federal, state and local taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

Change in Accounting Principle

New in FY2020

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective June 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach.

New in FY2020

Recently adopted accounting standards - ASC 842 is also communicated as a critical audit matter below.

New in FY2020

Critical Audit Matters

New in FY2020

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

New in FY2020

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

New in FY2020

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Kate Spade - Refer to Notes 3 and 15 to the financial statements

New in FY2020

Critical Audit Matter Description

New in FY2020

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived brand intangible assets for impairment involves the comparison of carrying value to their respective fair values.

New in FY2020

The determination of the fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue growth rates and profit margins, as well as discount rates.

New in FY2020

Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair values, the amount of any impairment charge, or both.

New in FY2020

The carrying value of goodwill associated with the Kate Spade reporting unit was $639.4 million and the carrying value of the Kate Spade indefinite-lived brand intangible asset was $1,300.0 million at June 27, 2020.

New in FY2020

The fair value of goodwill and the Kate Spade indefinite-lived brand intangible asset exceeded their carrying values by approximately 13% and 35%, respectively.

New in FY2020

Several factors could impact the Kate Spade brand's ability to achieve expected future cash flows, including continued economic volatility and operational challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the reception of new collections in all channels, the success of international expansion strategies including the direct operation of certain previous distributor and joint venture businesses, the optimization of the store fleet productivity, the impact of promotional activity in department stores, and the simplification of certain corporate overhead structures and other initiatives aimed at increasing profitability of the business.

New in FY2020

Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Kate Spade operations used in both the goodwill and Kate Spade indefinite-lived brand intangible fair value analyses and the difference between their fair values and carrying values, performing auditing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgments regarding the business and valuation assumptions utilized in the valuation model, particularly the forecasts of future revenue growth rates and profit margins and the selection of the discount rate, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

New in FY2020

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

New in FY2020

Our audit procedures related to the projected future revenue growth rates and profit margins and discount rates included the following:

New in FY2020

| • | We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over its goodwill and indefinite-lived brand intangible asset impairment evaluations, including controls over the forecasts of future revenue and profit margin, and the selection of the discount rate. |

New in FY2020

| • | We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual revenue and profit margin results to historical projections. |

New in FY2020

| • | We evaluated management’s revenue and profit margin projections over the projection period with (1) internal communications to management and the board of directors, (2) peer companies, and (3) industry and market conditions. |

New in FY2020

| • | We used the assistance of our fair value specialists to assess the acceptability of the weighting applied to value indications from different valuation techniques. |

New in FY2020

| • | We used the assistance of our fair value specialists to assess the acceptability of the implied equity premium. With respect to the market value of equity, we tested the calculations used in developing the respective market value of equity. |

New in FY2020

| • | We used the assistance of our fair value specialists in evaluating the fair value methodology and the discount rate, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations. Specific to the discount rate, we considered the inputs and calculations, and we developed a range of independent estimates and compared those to the respective discount rates selected by management. |

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Stuart Weitzman - Refer to Notes 3 and 15 to the financial statements

New in FY2020

Critical Audit Matter Description

New in FY2020

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived brand intangible assets for impairment involves the comparison of carrying value to their respective fair values.

New in FY2020

The determination of the fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue growth rates and profit margins, as well as discount rates.

New in FY2020

Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair values, the amount of any impairment charge, or both.

New in FY2020

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, revenue growth rate and profit margin trends continued to decline from those that were forecasted for the Stuart Weitzman brand, which resulted in reductions of both current and future forecasted cash flows.

New in FY2020

As a result of these conditions, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred during the third quarter, resulting in the need to perform a quantitative interim impairment assessment over the Company’s Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand intangible asset.

New in FY2020

The assessment concluded that the fair values of the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit and Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand intangible asset as of March 28, 2020 did not exceed their respective carrying values.

New in FY2020

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $210.7 million related to the Stuart Weitzman reporting unit, and an impairment charge of approximately $267.0 million related to the Stuart Weitzman indefinite-lived brand intangible asset, each resulting in a full impairment.

New in FY2020

Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Stuart Weitzman operations used in both the goodwill and indefinite-lived brand intangible fair value analyses and the resulting impairment recorded, performing auditing

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "*Leases (Topic 842),*" which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies that enter into leasing arrangements.

Dropped from FY2019

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, with targeted improvements to the guidance including an additional transition method for the new standard.

Dropped from FY2019

As a result, the new standard may be applied with a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period with various optional practical expedients.

Dropped from FY2019

Furthermore, the Company has determined that it will apply the provisions of ASU 2018-11 with the initial application at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment in the opening balance of Retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in an initial increase to long-term assets and liabilities of approximately $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion, which will change over time as the Company's lease portfolio changes.
