Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
76 rewritten, 45 added, 46 removed, 278 unchanged
Economic conditions, such as an economic recession, downturn, periods of inflation or uncertainty, could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and consumer purchases of [removed: luxury] [added: discretionary] items.

We are subject to labor laws governing relationships with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working [removed: conditions,] [added: conditions] and citizenship requirements.
The success of our retail stores located within malls and shopping centers may be impacted by (i) changes in consumer shopping [removed: behavior, closures, operating restrictions] [added: behavior] and store [removed: capacity restrictions;] [added: closures;] (ii) reduced travel resulting from economic conditions (including a recession or inflationary pressures); (iii) the location of the store within the mall or shopping center; (iv) surrounding tenants or vacancies; (v) increased competition in areas where malls or shopping centers are located; (vi) the amount spent on advertising and promotion to attract consumers to the mall; and (vii) a shift towards online shopping resulting in a decrease in [removed: mall] [added: store] traffic.
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 [removed: regions, notably Greater China.][added: regions.]
If we are unable to effectively execute our e-commerce and digital strategies and provide reliable experiences for our customers across all [added: business] channels, our reputation and ability to compete with other brands could suffer, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
[removed: Building on the success of the Company’s strategic growth plan from fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2022, the] [added: The] Company introduced its 2025 growth strategy, *future*speed, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which is designed to amplify and extend the competitive advantages of the brands, with a focus on four strategic priorities: (i) Building Lasting Customer Relationships; (ii) Fueling Fashion Innovation & Product Excellence; (iii) Delivering Compelling Omni-Channel Experiences; and (iv) Powering Global Growth.
We face intense competition [added: from many other brands] in the product lines and markets [removed: in which] [added: that] we [removed: operate.][added: participate, which include the Company's wholesale customers.]
- developing and producing innovative, high-quality products in sizes, colors, and styles that appeal to [removed: consumers] [added: a diverse group] of [removed: varying age group;][added: consumers;]
Each of our brands are unique and independent, while sharing a commitment to innovation and authenticity defined by distinctive products and differentiated customer experiences across [added: business] channels and geographies.
Furthermore, the product lines we have historically marketed and those that we plan to market in the future are becoming increasingly subject to rapidly changing fashion trends [removed: and consumer preferences, including the increasing shift to digital brand engagement and social media communication.]
Historically, competition for talent in these positions has been intense and turnover is generally [removed: high, both of which were exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.][added: high.]
If any of these centers were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason, [added: including as a result of accidents, economic and weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemic diseases, labor shortages and other unforeseen events and circumstances,] we could suffer a substantial loss of inventory and/or disruptions of deliveries to our retail and wholesale customers.
Because our fulfillment centers include automated and computer-controlled equipment, they are susceptible to risks including power interruptions, [removed: hardware and] system failures, software viruses, [added: configuration errors] and security breaches.
In North America we maintain fulfillment centers in [removed: Jacksonville,] Florida, [removed: Westchester,] Ohio and [removed: Las Vegas,] Nevada, operated by Tapestry.
We also utilize local fulfillment centers, through third-parties, in Japan, parts of Greater China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Spain, the U.K., Canada, Australia, [removed: and, starting during fiscal 2023, in] [added: and] Mexico.
If we misjudge the market for our products or demand for our products are impacted by other factors, such as inflationary pressures, political instability or [removed: effects of the Covid-19 pandemic,] [added: other macroeconomic events,] we may be faced with significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products.
[removed: In addition, the remaining impacts of the pandemic, political instability, trade relations, sanctions, price inflationary pressure, or other] geopolitical or economic conditions could cause raw material costs to increase and have an adverse effect on our future margins.
Our wholesale business comprised approximately [removed: 11%] [added: 12%] of total net sales for fiscal [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
Furthermore, a decision by the controlling owner of a group of stores or any other significant customer, whether motivated by competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to decrease or eliminate the amount of merchandise purchased from us or our licensing partners could result in an adverse effect on the sales and profitability within this [added: business] channel.
Additionally, certain of our wholesale customers, particularly those located in the U.S., have in the past been highly promotional and have [removed: aggressively] marked down their merchandise and may do so again in the future, which could [removed: negatively] impact our brands or could affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The integration process of any newly acquired company, such as our proposed [removed: acquisition of] Capri [removed: Holdings Limited ("Capri"),] [added: Acquisition,] may be complex, costly and time-consuming.
- failure of the business to perform as planned following the acquisition or achieve anticipated [removed: revenue] [added: revenue, cash flow] or profitability targets;
- delays, unexpected costs or difficulties in completing the [added: acquisition or] integration of acquired companies or [removed: assets;][added: assets, including as a result of regulatory challenges;]
Our failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired [removed: business] [added: business, including as a result of regulatory challenges,] and any adverse consequences associated with future acquisition activities, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
In addition, fluctuations in net sales, operating income and operating cash flows of the Company in any fiscal quarter may be affected by the timing of wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales, including adverse weather conditions or other macroeconomic [removed: events, including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.][added: events.]
Generally, our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay our proportionate share of the cost of insurance, taxes, [removed: maintenance and utilities.]

and consumer preferences, including the increasing shift to digital brand engagement and social media communication.
In order to consummate the Capri Acquisition (as defined below), we and Capri must obtain certain regulatory approvals and satisfy closing conditions, and if such approvals are not granted or are granted untimely and/or with conditions, and if closing conditions are not satisfied, consummation of the Capri Acquisition may be jeopardized or the anticipated benefits of the Capri Acquisition may not be realized.
On August 10, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among us, Capri and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire any and all of Capri’s ordinary shares (other than (a) Capri’s ordinary shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the acquisition that are owned or held in treasury by us or by Capri or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and (b) Capri’s ordinary shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the acquisition that are held by holders who have properly exercised dissenters’ rights in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands) in cash at a purchase price of $57.00 per share, without interest, subject to any required tax (the "Capri Acquisition").
The consummation of the Capri Acquisition remains subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.
Subject to limited exceptions, we or Capri may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Capri Acquisition is not consummated on or before August 10, 2024, subject to two extensions of up to three months each in certain circumstances, including to obtain required regulatory approvals.
On April 22, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed a preliminary injunction action against Tapestry and Capri in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Capri Acquisition.
The FTC’s action alleges that the Capri Acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Capri Acquisition constitute unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined.
There can be no assurance as to the outcome of litigation with the FTC or that we will receive regulatory approval from the FTC on a timely basis or at all, and there can be no assurance that if regulatory clearance is obtained, it will not be subject to the compliance of certain conditions or impose limitations, obligations or restrictions that could have the direct or indirect effect of delaying or preventing the completion of the Capri Acquisition, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting our revenues following the Capri Acquisition or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits of the Capri Acquisition, or resulting in the abandonment of the Capri Acquisition.
If the Capri Acquisition is not completed on a timely basis or at all, our ongoing business may be adversely affected as follows:
- we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including investors and rating agencies, and the price of our common stock could decline;
- we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees, in connection with the Capri Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Capri Acquisition, for which we may receive little or no benefit if the Capri Acquisition is not completed, including in connection with the issuance and mandatory redemption of $4.50 billion of Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes and €1.50 billion of Capri Acquisition EUR Senior Notes (both as defined below) at 101% of par value if the Capri Acquisition is not completed by February 10, 2025 (or such later date mutually agreed between us and Capri);
- investor and consumer confidence in our business could decline, relationships with vendors, service providers, investors and other third parties may be adversely impacted, and we may be unable to retain key personnel;
- we may be subject to litigation, which could result in significant costs and expenses;
- management’s focus may be diverted from day-to-day business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; and
- the anticipated benefits of the Capri Acquisition could be delayed or reduced.
- failures or delays in receiving the necessary approvals by the relevant regulators and authorities;
Even if the integration of any acquired business is successfully completed, the full expected benefits and synergies of the acquisition may not be realized.
Additional unanticipated costs, which could be material, may also be incurred in the integration of our business and the acquired business.
Additionally, the full benefits of an acquisition may not be realized if the combined business does not perform as expected or demand for the combined company’s services does not meet our expectations.
Our multi-brand Nevada fulfillment center began operations in May 2023.
In addition, the remaining impacts of the pandemic, political instability, trade relations, sanctions, price inflationary pressure, or other
maintenance and utilities.
Lastly, we could face sizable fines, significant breach containment and notification costs to supervisory authorities
As of June 29, 2024, our consolidated debt was approximately $7.24 billion.
In order to consummate the Capri Acquisition, we issued approximately $6.10 billion of Capri Acquisition Senior Notes (as defined below) in November 2023 and expect to incur up to an additional $1.40 billion of indebtedness under the Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities (as defined below) at closing.
We also expect to assume certain of Capri’s indebtedness outstanding at closing.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes a maximum net leverage ratio of 4:00 to 1:00, which, upon the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, increases to (i) 4.75 to 1.00 from and including the closing date of the Capri Acquisition to but excluding June 28, 2025, (ii) 4.50 to 1.00 from and including June 28, 2025 to but excluding June 27, 2026, and (iii) 4.00 to 1.00 from and including June 27, 2026 and thereafter.
We have also entered into the $1.40 billion Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities, comprised of (i) the Tranche A term loan commitments, in an aggregate amount of $1.05 billion and which mature three years after the date on which the Capri Acquisition is consummated, and (ii) the Tranche B term loan commitments, in an aggregate amount of $350 million and which mature five years after the date on which the Capri Acquisition is consummated.
The Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities currently remain unfunded.
The Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities include the same affirmative and negative covenants as our Revolving Credit Facility and requires compliance with the same maximum net leverage ratio from and after consummation of the Capri Acquisition.
The amount of cash required to service our increased indebtedness is greater than the amount of cash flows required prior to the announcement of the Capri Acquisition.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness.
These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.
In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations.
We could
The CAMT was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
Based on the countries in which we do business that have enacted legislation effective January 1, 2025, we do not expect the impact of these changes to be material for fiscal 2025.
A number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation with effective dates starting in 2026.
As a result, we do expect a modest negative impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, however, this could change as other countries enact similar legislation and further guidance is released.
The virus has impacted all regions that we operate in around the world, resulting in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities.
These requirements resulted in temporary closures of the majority of the Company's directly operated stores globally for some period of time to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 during fiscal 2020.
Throughout fiscal years 2021 through 2023, the vast majority of the Company’s stores were opened and have continued to operate, however, some store locations have experienced temporary re-closures or operated under tighter restrictions in compliance with local government regulations.
During the first half of fiscal 2023, the Company's results in Greater China were adversely impacted as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Starting in December 2022, certain government restrictions were lifted and business trends have improved in the region.
Although the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic during fiscal 2023 has generally been less significant than those experienced in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, we cannot predict for how long and to what extent the Covid-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We continue to monitor the latest developments regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and potential impacts on our business, operating results and outlook.
The impact of regulations imposed in the future in response to the Covid-19 pandemic or other public health crises, could, among other things, require that we close our stores or distribution centers or otherwise make it difficult or impossible to operate our business.
Our competitors are European and American luxury brands, as well as private label retailers, including some of the Company's wholesale customers.
Tapestry, Inc. is a New York-based house of iconic accessories and lifestyle brands.
Our global house of brands unites the magic of Coach, kate spade new york and Stuart Weitzman.
Our multi-brand Las Vegas, Nevada fulfillment center began operations during fiscal 2023 and is expected to become fully operational during fiscal 2024.
This opening involves configuration and implementation of a cloud-based warehouse management system, training on this and other new technology and automation and integration with existing systems.
Any failure to execute our operational plans for this fulfillment center could result in the Company not being able to meet customer demand for its products and could materially adversely affect our business and operations.
Our wholesale customers have also experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, including reduced operations or the closure, temporarily or permanently, of many of our wholesale partners.
We may not complete our acquisition of Capri within the time frame we anticipate or at all.
The completion of our acquisition of Capri is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, receipt of Capri shareholder approval, receipt of certain global anti-trust clearances, including expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of certain other regulatory approvals.
The failure to satisfy the required conditions could delay the completion of the acquisition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all.
For example, under certain limited conditions, we and/or Capri may elect to terminate the merger agreement, which could materially and adversely affect our business and reputation.
A delay in completing the acquisition could cause us to realize some or all of the benefits later than we otherwise expect to realize them if the acquisition is successfully completed within the anticipated time frame, which could result in additional transaction costs or in other negative effects associated with uncertainty about the completion of the acquisition.
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Capri acquisition, and the merger or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.
We believe that there are significant benefits and synergies that may be realized through our acquisition of Capri.
However, the efforts to realize these benefits and synergies will be a complex process and may cost more than we anticipate.
Further, our efforts to realize these benefits and synergies may disrupt both companies’ existing operations if not implemented in a timely and efficient manner.
The full benefits of the acquisition, including the anticipated sales or growth opportunities, may not be realized as expected or may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all.
Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay any accretive effect of the acquisition and negatively impact the price of our common stock.
In addition, we will be required post-closing to devote significant attention and resources to successfully align our business practices and operations.
This process may disrupt the businesses and, if ineffective, would limit the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
We may be subject to litigation challenging the Capri acquisition, and an unfavorable judgment or ruling in any such lawsuits could prevent or delay the consummation of our acquisition of Capri and/or result in substantial costs.
Lawsuits related to our acquisition of Capri may be filed against us, Capri, and our respective affiliates, directors and officers.
If dismissals are not obtained or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the acquisition and/or result in substantial costs to us.
We also may decide not to renew our agreements with our licensing partners and bring certain categories in-house.
We may face unexpected difficulties or costs in connection with any action to bring currently licensed categories in-house.
Over the past year, there has been significant discussion with regards to tax legislation by both the Biden Administration and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”).
The CAMT and GloBE are anticipated to be effective beginning in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, respectively.
The US Treasury and the OECD continue to seek input and release guidance on the CAMT and GloBE legislation and how the two will interact, so it is unclear at this time what, if any, impact either will have on the Company’s tax rate and financial results.
We will continue to evaluate their impact as further information becomes available.
With respect to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases, this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act was effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
We monitor our global foreign currency exposure.
Additionally, our international subsidiaries primarily use local currencies as the functional currency and translate their financial results from the local currency to U.S. dollars.

In fiscal [removed: 2022] [added: 2024,] the Company incurred [removed: adjustments] [added: charges] as follows:
Fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 were 52-week periods.
The Capri Acquisition, once completed, will bring together six highly complementary brands with global reach, powered by the Company’s data-rich customer engagement platform and diversified, direct-to-consumer operating model.
The transaction is expected to close during calendar year 2024.
In order to finance the Capri Acquisition, on November 27, 2023, the Company issued $4.50 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes") and €1.50 billion of Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition EUR Senior Notes" and, together with the Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes, the "Capri Acquisition Senior Notes") which, together with the $1.40 billion of delayed draw unsecured term loan facilities (the "Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities") executed on August 30, 2023, complete the expected financing for the Capri Acquisition.
The Company has received regulatory approval from all applicable jurisdictions except for the United States.
On April 22, 2024, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company and Capri in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Capri Acquisition.
The FTC’s complaint alleges that the Capri Acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Capri Acquisition constitute unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined.
The Company believes the FTC’s claims are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.Refer to Note 5, "Acquisitions" for further information.
In fiscal 2024, freight costs have continued to moderate as compared to prior year.
sales of $77.3 million, a positive impact to gross margin of approximately 30 basis points which benefited from the Company's hedging activity and approximately 10 basis point positive impact to operating margin.
Geopolitical Disruptions to Supply Chain
During fiscal 2024, certain geopolitical events have impacted trade routes in the Red Sea which have modestly increased inventory in-transit times and costs.
The Company has taken actions to minimize any potential disruptions and, at this time, does not anticipate material impact to our business or operating results.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation.
During fiscal 2024, the Covid-19 pandemic did not materially impact our business or operating results.
The CAMT was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
Based on the countries in which we do business that have enacted legislation effective January 1, 2025, we do not expect the impact of these changes to be material for fiscal 2025.
A number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation with effective dates starting in 2026.
As a result, we do expect a modest negative impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, however, this could change as other countries enact similar legislation and further guidance is released.
We continue to closely monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts.

The fiscal year ended July 1, 2023 was a 52-week period, July 2, 2022 was a 52-week period, and July 3, 2021 was a 53-week period.
Furthermore, refer to Part I, Item 1 - "Business" for additional discussion on our expected store openings and closures within each of our segments.
Some of these organizations have recently revised the forecast slightly upwards since the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced in May 2023 that it no longer considered Covid-19 to be a global health emergency.
Supply chains have largely recovered, and shipping costs and delivery times are back to pre-pandemic levels.
Although the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic during fiscal 2023 has generally been less significant than those experienced in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, we cannot predict for how long and to what extent the Covid-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Supply Chain and Logistics Challenges
Covid-19 has and may cause disruptions in the Company’s supply chain within our third-party manufacturers and logistics providers.
During fiscal 2022, certain of the Company’s third-party manufacturers, primarily located in Vietnam, experienced ongoing and longer-than-expected government mandated restrictions, which resulted in a significant decrease in production capacity for these third-party manufacturers.
In response, the Company took deliberate actions such as shifting production to other countries, adjusting its merchandising strategies, where possible, and increasing the use of air freight to expedite delivery.
Based on these actions and improved production levels, the Company has and expects that it will continue to be able to meet anticipated levels of demand.
The Company has experienced other global logistical challenges, such as delays as a result of port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages for imported products and rising freight costs.
During fiscal 2023, freight costs on inbound shipments have started to moderate and the Company has significantly reduced the use of air freight when compared to fiscal 2022.
Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program
The Company has historically benefited from duty-free imports on certain products from certain countries pursuant to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program.
The GSP program expired in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in additional duties and negatively impacting gross profit.
Crisis in Ukraine
In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, a humanitarian crisis unfolded in Ukraine, which has created significant economic uncertainty in the region.
The Company does not have directly operated stores in Russia or Ukraine and has a minimal distributor and wholesale business which was less than 0.1% of the Company’s total Net sales for fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.
Starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company paused all wholesale shipments to Russia.
The Company's total business in Europe represented less than 5% of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 total Net sales.
Over the past year, there has been significant discussion with regards to tax legislation by both the Biden Administration and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”).
The CAMT and GloBE are anticipated to be effective beginning in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, respectively.
The US Treasury and the OECD continue to seek input and release guidance on the CAMT and GloBE legislation and how the two will interact, so it is unclear at this time what, if any, impact either will have on the Company’s tax rate and financial results.
We will continue to evaluate their impact as further information becomes available.
With respect to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases, this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act was effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
This excise tax is recorded in Retained earnings as part of Stockholders' Equity.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
15 rewritten, 31 added, 4 removed, 25 unchanged
As of [removed: July 1, 2023] [added: June 29, 2024] and July [removed: 2, 2022,] [added: 1, 2023, the total notional values of outstanding] forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges [removed: with a notional amount of $842.3] [added: were $764.6] million and [removed: $41.5] [added: $842.3] million, [removed: respectively, were outstanding.][added: respectively.]
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 [removed: July 1, 2023.][added: June 29, 2024.]
As of [removed: July 1, 2023] [added: June 29, 2024] and July [removed: 2, 2022,] [added: 1, 2023,] the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans, payables and receivables were [removed: $272.3] [added: $348.2] million and [removed: $274.1] [added: $272.3] million, respectively.
We perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our forward foreign currency exchange [added: contracts] and [removed: cross-currency swap contracts.][added: net investment hedges.]
Under the [removed: terms] [added: term] of [removed: our cross-currency swaps,] [added: the cross currency swap contracts,] we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States denominated debt for fixed rate payments of [removed: 2.4%] [added: 6.0%] to [removed: 2.7%] [added: 6.3%] in Euros and [removed: 0.1%] [added: fixed rate payments of 3.1%] to [removed: (0.3)%] [added: 7.9%] in [removed: Japanese Yen.][added: USD.]
As of [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the foreign currencies under contract would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of our derivative portfolio of approximately [removed: $185] [added: $55.0] million.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the [removed: $1.25] [added: $1.05] Billion [removed: Revolving Credit] [added: Three-Year Term Loan] Facility and [removed: $500.0 Million] [added: the $350.0 million Five-Year] Term Loan [added: Facility] (collectively, the [removed: "Credit Facilities").][added: "Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities") and the $2.00 Billion Revolving Credit Facility.]
Borrowings under the [removed: $1.25 Billion] Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a [added: rate based on the forward-looking SOFR] term [removed: secured overnight financing rate,] [added: rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator satisfactory to the administrative agent),] (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt to (b) consolidated [removed: EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”).][added: EBITDAR.]
Borrowings under the [added: Capri Acquisition] Term Loan [added: Facilities] bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either [removed: (i)] [added: (a)] an alternate base rate or [removed: (ii)] [added: (b)] a [added: rate based on the forward-looking SOFR] term [removed: secured overnight financing] rate [added: administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator)] plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
Borrowings under the [removed: Credit] [added: Capri Acquisition Term Loan] Facilities [added: and Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the "Credit Facilities")] are subject to interest rate risk due to changes in SOFR.
A hypothetical 10% change in the Credit Facilities' interest rates would have resulted in an immaterial change in interest expense in fiscal [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the [removed: Senior Notes.][added: senior unsecured notes.]
[removed: These] [added: The following table shows the estimated] fair values [removed: are] [added: of the senior unsecured notes at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023] based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of [removed: these] [added: the] instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value [removed: hierarchy.][added: hierarchy:]
The interest rate payable on the [added: 4.125% Senior Notes due] 2027 [added: and the Capri Acquisition] Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency [removed: (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement furnished with the SEC on June 7, 2017)] downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the respective [removed: Senior Notes] [added: senior notes] of such series.
The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $58.3 million and $39.0 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $4.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net investment hedges.
As of June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross currency swap foreign exchange and forward foreign exchange agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.45 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively, to hedge our net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and their local currencies.
The fair values of outstanding derivative contracts related to net investment hedges included in current assets and long-term assets at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $32.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
The fair values of outstanding derivative contracts related to net investment hedges included in current and long-term liabilities at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was $139.4 million and $90.5 million, respectively.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its indebtedness and investments.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for additional information.
The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt (with certain customary deductions for unrestricted cash and permitted investments) to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.
The applicable margin will initially be (x) in the case of the Three-Year Term Loan Facility, 0.250% for base rate loans and 1.250% for SOFR loans and (y) in the case of the Five-Year Term Loan Facility, 0.375% for base rate loans and 1.375% for SOFR loans.

Retail stores carry an assortment of products depending on their size, location and customer preferences.

Coach outlet stores serve as an efficient means to sell manufactured-for-outlet product and discontinued retail inventory outside the retail channel.
The outlet store design, visual presentations and customer service levels support and reinforce the brand's image.
Through these outlet stores, we target value-oriented customers in established outlet centers that are close to major markets.

We continue to closely monitor inventories held by our wholesale customers in an effort to optimize inventory levels across wholesale doors.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1 rewritten, 5 added, 0 removed, 1 unchanged
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, such as to protect Tapestry, Inc.'s intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the [removed: Company's] [added: Company’s] control, contract disputes, insurance claims and litigation, including wage and hour [removed: litigation,] [added: litigation] with present or former employees.
There have been no material developments with respect to any previously reported proceedings.
However, as previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Capri, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into Capri (the “Merger”) with Capri surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
In connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of Capri, we have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings by the FTC.
On April 22, 2024, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us and Capri seeking to block the proposed acquisition of Capri, claiming that the proposed acquisition would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Merger constitute unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined.
We believe the FTC’s claims are without merit, and we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
0 rewritten, 33 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
Risk Management and Strategy
The Company manages strategic, operational and external risks, including cybersecurity risk, through the Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program which has direct involvement from the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), and Senior Management.
Our ERM program provides a framework whereby management conducts a comprehensive annual enterprise risk assessment to identify and prioritize the most critical risks facing the Company, as well as emerging risks, and the development and reporting of risk mitigation strategies.
Through this process, we have identified cybersecurity as a risk management priority.
The Company has a comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessment program that systematically identifies, analyzes and evaluates potential threats and vulnerabilities that may impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Company's information systems and data.
This program includes governance structure, risk identification, risk analysis, risk management, and risk communication and reporting.
On a periodic basis, the Company engages independent third-party subject matter experts to conduct a cybersecurity maturity assessment based on the National Institute of Standards Technology framework, focused on risk assessment, global payment card industry audits, and compliance audits to help identify gaps and improve existing processes.
In addition, the Company has a cybersecurity risk program that includes policies and procedures around onboarding of third-parties, contractual agreement review, risk assessment and on-going monitoring of high-risk vendors.
The Company also has several tools and processes in place to actively prevent, detect and manage cybersecurity incidents.
This includes:
- *Vulnerability Management* – continuous scanning of the technology environment to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
- *Attack Surface Management* – actively monitor and prevent external attack attempts.
- *Security Monitoring and Operations* – collection and aggregation of security alerts that are reviewed, analyzed and managed by the security operations team.
- *Threat Intelligence* – gathering and analyzing information about current and emerging cyber threats.
- *Incident Response* – incorporating detection and recovery processes, defining roles and responsibilities across the Company, establishing communication protocols and escalation procedures, including performing tabletop exercises.
- *Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans* – covering both technology and business areas globally with annual exercises to validate processes.
- *Cybersecurity Awareness* – educating employees and third-party service providers on best practices for protecting the Company from cyber threats, which includes providing annual security and privacy industry-specific training to employees as well as conducting period phishing simulations to test their awareness.
We are continuously enhancing our cybersecurity framework in response to the ongoing incidents and threats that we face.
Cybersecurity is a key component of the Company’s risk mitigation strategy.
As such, a multi-year cybersecurity strategy and roadmap are developed and incorporated into Tapestry’s long range planning and capital allocation process.
During the three fiscal years presented within this Form 10-K, our results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by cybersecurity risks and incidents.
For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors regarding cybersecurity threats, refer to Item 1A — "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Information Security and Technology.”
Governance
Our Board has active oversight of risk management, which includes cybersecurity.
Several members of our Board have cybersecurity experience gained through direct responsibilities, oversight or other relevant education and experience.
Our Board has delegated primary responsibility of cybersecurity risk to the Audit Committee.
The Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and Chief Information Officer ("CIO") provide quarterly updates to the Audit Committee on information security, privacy risk and compliance, with updates to the Board at least annually.
Our CISO manages the Company’s cybersecurity compliance program, including prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.
Our CISO, who reports directly into the CIO, has over 30 years of experience in information technology and cybersecurity and holds multiple industry certifications.
The Company has an Information Governance, Privacy & Security Committee responsible for management oversight of cybersecurity risk, which includes the CISO and key members of management and meets quarterly.
As part of our cyber incident response plan, our CISO is responsible escalating certain cybersecurity incidents to relevant senior management, along with several stakeholders, who then convene to evaluate the materiality of such incident using a list of quantitative and qualitative guidelines.
In addition, outside advisors would be engaged as deemed necessary.
The CEO, CFO, and Board are informed if the incident is deemed potentially material.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tapestry, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of [removed: July 1, 2023] [added: June 29, 2024] and July [removed: 2, 2022,] [added: 1, 2023,] the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] and the related notes and the financial statement Schedule II listed in the Index to the Consolidated Financial Statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of [removed: July 1, 2023] [added: June 29, 2024] and July [removed: 2, 2022,] [added: 1, 2023,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) [removed: ("PCAOB"),] [added: (PCAOB),] the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August [removed: 17, 2023,] [added: 15, 2024,] expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) [removed: relate] [added: relates] to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
The fair values of the Kate Spade brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand, which are included in the Company's goodwill and intangible asset balances, respectively, as of the fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] testing date exceeded their respective carrying values by approximately 20% and [removed: 40%,] [added: 55%,] respectively.
Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Kate Spade operations used in both the [added: brand's] goodwill and [removed: 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 cash flows and growth rates 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.
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Tapestry, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of [removed: July 1, 2023] [added: June 29, 2024] based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission [removed: ("COSO").][added: (COSO).]
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) [removed: ("PCAOB"),] [added: (PCAOB),] the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] of the Company and our report dated August [removed: 17, 2023,] [added: 15, 2024,] expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

During fiscal 2024, the Covid-19 pandemic did not materially impact our business or operating results.
Supplier Finance Program
To improve our working capital efficiency, the Company makes available to certain suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to a global financial institution on a non-recourse basis at a rate that leverages our credit rating.
The Company does not have the ability to refinance or modify payment terms to the global financial institution through the SCF program.
No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF program.
The Company’s payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the program.
As of June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, $294.9 million and $305.4 million, respectively, was related to suppliers eligible to participate in the Company's SCF program.
A rollforward of the outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program, which are presented within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is presented below:
| Obligations outstanding, beginning of year | | | $ | 305.4 | | | | | $ | 393.2 | |
| Invoices added during the year | | | 1,349.8 | | | | | | 1,397.5 | | |
| Invoices settled during the year | | | (1,360.3) | | | | | | (1,485.3) | | |
| Obligations outstanding, end of year | | | $ | 294.9 | | | | | $ | 305.4 | |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For foreign currency derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges, the changes in fair value of the instruments are recorded through earnings.
These changes generally offset the revaluation of certain underlying assets and liabilities.
This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Renminbi and the Euro.
During fiscal 2024, the Company also entered into interest rate derivative contracts to reduce its risks related to changes in the benchmark interest rates on its debt obligations.
Any premiums related to these instruments were excluded from the Company's measurement of hedge effectiveness and were amortized over the period between the hedge execution and the contract maturity.
The related gains (losses) were initially deferred in AOCI and are subsequently recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest income (expense) in the same periods during which the hedged interest payments associated with the Company’s borrowings are recorded in earnings.
As of June 29, 2024, there were no interest rate derivative contracts outstanding.
