- Digital - We view our digital platform as an instrument to deliver our products to customers directly with the benefit of added accessibility as consumers can purchase our products beyond where our physical locations are based. We have e-commerce sites in our major markets in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Greater China, several throughout Europe, Australia, and several throughout the rest of Asia. Additionally, we continue to leverage various third-party digital platforms to sell our products to customers.
WHOLESALE BUSINESS
Our wholesale business primarily includes major department stores, specialty stores, and third-party digital partners. We work closely with our wholesale partners to ensure a clear and consistent product presentation. We enhance our presentation with proprietary brand fixtures within the department store environment in select locations. We custom tailor our assortments through wholesale product planning and allocation processes to match the attributes to the consumers of our wholesale partners in each local market. We continue to closely monitor inventories held by our wholesale customers in an effort to optimize inventory levels across wholesale doors. Wholesale represented approximately 13% of our total net sales for fiscal 2025. As of June 28, 2025, there were no customers who individually accounted for more than 10% of each segment’s total net sales.
LICENSING BUSINESS
Our brands take an active role in the design process and control the marketing and distribution of products in our worldwide licensing relationships. Our key licensing relationships and their fiscal year expirations as of June 28, 2025 are as follows:

Products made under license are, in most cases, sold through stores and wholesale business channels and, with the Company's approval, the licensees have the right to distribute products selectively through other venues, which provide additional, yet controlled, exposure of our brands. Our licensing partners generally pay royalties on their net sales of our branded products. Such royalties currently comprise approximately 1% of Tapestry's total net sales. The licensing agreements generally give our brands the right to terminate the license if specified sales targets are not achieved.

DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING
Our creative leaders are responsible for conceptualizing and implementing the design direction for our brands across the consumer touchpoints of product, stores and marketing. At Tapestry, each brand has a dedicated design and merchandising team; this ensures that Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman speak to their customers with a voice and positioning unique to
their brand. Designers have access to the brands' extensive archives of product designs, which are a valuable resource for product concepts. Our designers collaborate with strong merchandising teams that analyze sales, market trends and consumer preferences to identify market opportunities that help guide each season's design process and create a globally relevant product assortment. Leveraging our strategic investments that we have made in data and analytics tools, merchandisers are able to gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior which empowers our teams to respond to changes in consumer preferences and demand as well as scale opportunities across brands with greater speed and efficiency. Our merchandising teams are committed to managing the product life cycle to maximize sales and profitability across all business channels. The product category teams, each comprised of design, merchandising, product development and sourcing specialists, help each brand execute design concepts that are consistent with the brand's strategic direction.
Our design and merchandising teams also work in close collaboration with all of our licensing partners to ensure that the licensed products are conceptualized and designed to address the intended market opportunity and convey the distinctive perspective and lifestyle associated with our brands.
MARKETING
Our marketing objective is to build emotional connections with consumers to drive acquisition. We use a 360-degree approach to marketing for each of our brands, synchronizing our efforts across all business channels to ensure consistency at every touchpoint. Our global marketing strategy is to deliver a consistent, relevant and multi-layered message every time the consumer comes in contact with our brands through our communications, visual merchandising and customer experiences. Each brand's distinctive positioning is communicated by our creative marketing, visual merchandising and public relations teams, as well as outside creative agencies. We also have a sophisticated consumer and market research capability and leverage third-party experts to gain insights into consumer attitudes and trends.
We engage in many consumer communication initiatives globally, including activities at a national, regional and local level. Total expenses attributable to the Company's marketing-related activities in fiscal 2025 were $744.5 million, representing nearly 11% of net sales, compared to $616.8 million in fiscal 2024, representing over 9% of net sales.
Our wide range of marketing activities utilize a variety of media, including digital, social, television, print and out-of-home. Our respective brand websites serve as effective communication vehicles by providing an immersive brand experience, showcasing the fullest expression across product categories.
As part of our direct marketing strategy, we use databases of consumers to generate personalized communications in direct channels such as email and text messages to drive engagement. Visitors to our e-commerce sites provide an opportunity to increase the size of these consumer databases, in addition to serving as a point of transactions globally, except where restricted.
The Company has several regional informational websites for locations where we have not established an e-commerce presence. The Company utilizes social media and continues to explore digital technologies to create emotional connections with consumers, acquire new customers and build brand awareness, in addition to increasing on-line and store sales.
MANUFACTURING
Tapestry carefully balances its commitments to a limited number of “better brand” partners that have demonstrated integrity, quality and reliable delivery. The Company continues to evaluate new manufacturing sources and geographies to deliver high quality products at competitive costs and to mitigate the impact of manufacturing in inflationary markets.
Our raw material suppliers, independent manufacturers and licensing partners must achieve and maintain high quality standards, which are an integral part of our brands' identity. Before directly partnering with a new manufacturing vendor for finished goods, the Company evaluates each facility by conducting a quality, business practice standards and social compliance review. We expect finished good manufacturers to undergo a social compliance audit before being approved as a Tapestry supplier. Manufacturers working with our licensed partners are expected to have had an acceptable social compliance audit conducted within the prior six months of their onboarding date. Suppliers that fail to meet our standards are not approved until an acceptable report is provided. We also conduct periodic evaluations of existing, previously approved finished good suppliers. We believe that our manufacturing partners are in material compliance with the Company’s integrity standards.
These independent manufacturers each or in aggregate support a broad mix of product types, materials and a seasonal influx of new, fashion-oriented styles, which allows us to meet shifts in marketplace demand and changes in consumer preferences.
We have longstanding relationships with purveyors of fine leathers and hardware. Although our products are manufactured by independent manufacturers, we maintain a strong level of oversight in the selection of key raw materials and compliance with quality control standards is monitored through on-site quality inspections at independent manufacturing facilities.
We maintain strong oversight of the supply chain process for each of our brands from design through manufacturing. We are able to do this by maintaining sourcing management offices in Vietnam, mainland China, the Philippines, Cambodia and
Spain that work closely with our independent manufacturers. This broad-based, global manufacturing strategy is designed to optimize the mix of cost, lead times and construction capabilities.
During fiscal 2025, manufacturers of Coach products were primarily located in Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and India and no individual vendor provided 10% or more of the brand's total inventory purchases. During fiscal 2025, Kate Spade products were manufactured primarily in Vietnam, Cambodia, mainland China, and the Philippines and no individual vendor provided 10% or more of the brand's total inventory purchases. Stuart Weitzman products were primarily manufactured in Spain. During fiscal 2025, Stuart Weitzman had one vendor, located in Spain, who individually provided approximately 11% of the brand's total inventory purchases.
FULFILLMENT
The Company’s distribution network is designed to support the movement of each brand's products from our manufacturers to fulfillment centers around the world. These fulfillment centers are either directly operated by the Company or by independent third parties, some of which support multiple brands. Our facilities use bar code scanning warehouse management systems, where our fulfillment center employees use handheld scanners to read product bar codes. This allows for accurate storage and order processing and allows us to provide excellent service to our customers. These facilities are also integrated into our Enterprise Resource Planning system, ensuring accurate inventory reporting. Our products are primarily shipped to retail stores, wholesale customers and e-commerce customers.
In North America, we maintain fulfillment centers in Florida, Nevada and Ohio, operated by Tapestry. The Company also has third-party facilities in Canada and Mexico. Globally, we utilize regional fulfillment centers in mainland China, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Spain, owned and operated by third parties, that support multiple countries. We also utilize local fulfillment centers, through third parties in Japan, parts of Greater China, South Korea, Malaysia and Australia.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company’s information systems are integral in supporting the Company’s long-term strategies.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Tapestry owns COACH, KATE SPADE and STUART WEITZMAN, as well as all of the material trademark, design and patent-rights related to the production, marketing, distribution and sale of our products in the United States and other countries in which our products are principally sold. In addition, the Company licenses trademarks and copyrights used in connection with the production, marketing and distribution of certain categories of goods and limited edition collaborations. Tapestry also owns and maintains registrations in countries around the world for trademarks in relevant classes of products and services. In addition, Tapestry owns trade dress, copyrights, design patents and utility patents for its brands' product designs. Tapestry aggressively polices its intellectual property and pursues infringers both domestically and internationally. The Company pursues counterfeiters through leads generated internally, as well as through its network of investigators, law enforcement and customs officials, the respective online reporting form for each brand, the Tapestry hotline and business partners around the world.
SEASONALITY
The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we typically build inventory for the winter and holiday season. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as we generate higher net sales and operating income, especially during the holiday season.
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 weather and macroeconomic events.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Most of the Company's imported products are subject to tariffs, indirect taxes, quotas and non-tariff trade barriers that may limit the quantity of products that we may import into the U.S. and other countries or may impact the cost of such products. The Company is not materially restricted by quotas or other government restrictions in the operation of its business; however, customs duties do represent a component of total product cost. To maximize opportunities, the Company operates complex supply chains through foreign trade zones, bonded logistic parks and other strategic initiatives such as free trade agreements. Additionally, the Company operates a direct import business in many countries worldwide. As a result, the Company is subject to stringent government regulations and restrictions, adding significant complexity with respect to its cross-border activity either by the various customs and border protection agencies or by other government agencies which control the quality, safety and sustainability of the Company’s products. The Company maintains an internal global trade, customs and product compliance organization to help manage its import/export and regulatory affairs activity.
COMPETITION
The Company faces intense competition from many other brands in the product lines and markets that we participate. In varying degrees, depending on the product category involved, we compete on the basis of style, price, customer service, quality, brand prestige and recognition, among others. Over the last decade, these brands have grown and are expected to continue to grow, encouraging the entry of new competitors as well as increasing the competition from existing competitors. This increased competition drives interest in these brand loyal categories. We believe, however, that we have significant competitive advantages because of the recognition and the acceptance of our brands by consumers and the power of our information technology platform.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
As a people-centered and purpose-led Company, Tapestry believes that a better-made future is one that is both beautiful and responsible. Our Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) strategy, the Fabric of Change, aims to unite teams across the Company’s business to work to meet our Corporate Responsibility Goals and a shared objective: to create a company of the future that balances true fashion authority with meaningful, positive change. The Fabric of Change focuses on four pillars: Power of Our People, Sustain the Planet, Uplift Our Communities and Create Products with Care.
- Power of Our People:
◦As our company name suggests, we believe in the intertwining of a broad mix of people who bring a variety of perspectives, unleashing the power of innovation and self-expression in our products and experiences.
◦As a global employer, we work to continuously expand our aperture as wide as possible to acquire, retain and grow the best talent.
- Sustain the Planet:
◦We aim to preserve and restore our planet through investments in solutions that improve biodiversity and reduce the impacts of climate change.
◦We have set goals focused on utilizing 100% renewable energy in our own operations globally, reducing waste in our corporate and fulfillment centers and minimizing water use across our company and supply chain. We also have greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reduction targets for Scope 1, 2, 3 and Scope 3 Forest, Land and Agriculture that have been validated by Science Based Targets initiative.
- Uplift Our Communities:
◦We aim to empower the communities where our employees live and work, and provide the resources and capacity needed to support supply chain partners in the regions where we operate.
◦We have set goals focused on volunteer service hours completed by our employees around the world, financial and product donations to nonprofit organizations globally, and ensuring people working in the factories crafting our products will have access to empowerment programs during the workday.
- Create Products with Care:
◦We aim to increase the use of innovative materials and focus on production methods that design out waste and pollution, keep products in use and restore natural systems.
◦We have set goals focused on tracing and mapping our raw materials, and targets to increase the uptake of sourcing environmentally preferred materials.
The Company’s CR strategy, including oversight, management and identification of risks, is ultimately governed by the Board of Directors (the "Board") and overseen by an Executive Steering Committee, which is comprised of members of our executive leadership team, and driven by a Task Force, comprised of senior leaders and cross-functional members from major business functions. The Board approves long-term sustainability goals, strategic moves or major plans of action and receives updates at least annually. Tapestry's Governance and Nominations Committee of the Board receives quarterly updates on sustainability strategy, including climate-related topics, progress towards the CR goals and other CR related initiatives.
Additional information on the Fabric of Change and CR Goals can be found at www.tapestry.com/responsibility. The content on this website and the content in our corporate responsibility reports are not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any other report or document we file with the SEC.
HUMAN CAPITAL
At Tapestry, being true to yourself is core to who we are. When each of us brings our individuality to our collective ambition, our creativity is unleashed. This global house of brands was built by unconventional entrepreneurs and unexpected solutions, so when we say we believe in dreams, we mean we believe in making them happen.
Where differences intersect, new thinking emerges. We cultivate a place for people who are both warm and rigorous, work that is both challenging and fun and a culture led by both head and heart. Most of all, we bring together the unique spirits of our people and our brands and give them a place to move their work and our industry forward.
Governance and Oversight
Our Board and its committees provide governance and oversight of the Company's strategy, including over issues of human capital management. The Board has designated the Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “HR Committee”) as the primary committee responsible for the Company’s human capital strategy, overseeing executive compensation programs, performance and talent development, succession planning, engagement and regular review of employee benefits and well-being strategies. The full Board and the HR Committee receive quarterly updates on the Company’s talent development strategies and other applicable areas of human capital management.
Unlocking the power of our people is a key strategic focus area for the Company, supported by significant engagement from the Company’s senior leadership on talent development and human capital management, as reflected in the key programs and focus areas described below.
Employees
As of June 28, 2025, the Company employed approximately 19,000 employees globally. Of these employees, approximately 15,100 employees worked in retail locations, of which 6,500 were part-time employees. This total excludes seasonal and temporary employees that the Company employs, particularly during the second quarter due to the holiday season. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good and has never encountered a strike or work stoppage.
Embracing Difference by Design
We believe that having a variety of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences makes us more innovative and successful and brings us closer to our consumer. We believe that difference sparks brilliance, so we welcome people and ideas from everywhere to join us in stretching what's possible.
Our core values of ‘Embracing Difference by Design’ and ‘Stand Taller Together’ are non-negotiable, it is who we are. They are the bedrock of the kind of ingenuity that turns heads, turns objects into icons and comes only from the places few have looked before. To support these actions, we are guided by four interconnected principles:
-
Talent:** Identify, retain and grow the best talent – making us an employer of choice in a rapidly evolving talent marketplace.
-
Culture:** Cultivate a workplace culture where everyone can fully contribute and reach their potential by feeling included, that they belong and that they matter.
-
Community:** Amplify our brands and support the communities in which our employees live and work.
-
Marketplace:** Growing our customer base in line with the market and shifting dynamics.
Additionally, we believe educating our employees is crucial in achieving our goals. We have curated a catalogue of learning and development content, tools and resources, including bespoke skill-building programs to accommodate our dynamic employee population. Furthermore, the Company has focused on providing employees with resources to foster continuing education and conversation through 'Tapestry UNSCRIPTED', which is an internal speaker series for our employees designed to bring our values to life. We feel hosting bold conversations about our values provides an opportunity for us to be inspired, discover ideas and ignite personal passions.
Tapestry is committed to inclusion and opportunity for all through our corporate partnerships and best practice benchmarking groups through our corporate efforts. Our focus on fostering an equitable work environment has led to continued recognition in the form of awards from Forbes as one of the World’s Most Admired Companies; Newsweek for America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Well-being; America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women and Greatest Workplaces 2025; and official certification from Great Place to Work in the US and several countries globally.
Total Rewards
Tapestry is dedicated to being a place where our employees love to work, where they feel recognized and rewarded for all that they do. Maintaining a competitive total compensation program helps us attract, motivate and retain the key talent we need to achieve outstanding business and financial results. To accomplish this goal, we strive to appropriately align our total compensation with the pay, benefits and rewards offered by companies that compete with us for talent in the marketplace.
Our Total Compensation Program includes cash pay, annual and long-term incentives, benefits and other special programs that our employees value. We strive to pay each employee fairly and competitively across our brands. Tapestry's primary compensation principle is to "pay for performance." Tapestry's practice is to pay a competitive base salary and provide corporate employees with the opportunity to earn an annual bonus tied to Tapestry's and its brands' financial performance, and provide store employees with the opportunity to earn sales incentives. Approximately 2,400 of our employees, including nearly all of our store managers, received an annual long-term equity award in 2025, which aligns employee interests with those of our stockholders, rewards employees for enhancing stockholder value and supports retention of key employees.
Our benefits package, which varies by country, is designed to be competitive and comprehensive. Our benefits, along with competitive pay, include health benefits, vacation time, and paid Company holidays for directly hired full-time and qualifying part-time employees. Additionally, we offer parental leave for directly hired full-time employees. The Company also offers retirement benefits and paid wellness days for full-time and part-time employees. To support employees in achieving their career and financial goals, the Company also provides access to learning opportunities on personal finances, as well as physical and mental wellness, through various platforms based on the location of the employee.
Talent Acquisition and Development
Hiring talented employees is critically important to us, as we consider our employees around the world to be our greatest asset. Our recruitment and sourcing strategy focuses on tapping many sources to attract the best talent to our organization and then retaining them through our continued investments in resources that provide our employees with the tools for development and career advancement. Our internal opportunity program encourages employees to stretch themselves in their career development, aligning their capabilities with career interests and goals. We strive to provide a working environment where our people can grow and progress their careers within the Company.
We are committed to helping our employees develop the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for continued success and encourage employee development at all levels and every career stage. Our development programs enable individual and team success through targeted initiatives and resources, offering a wide-ranging curriculum focused on professional and leadership development for leaders, managers and individual contributors, including through our Manager Effectiveness Program, Better Conversations Everyday Program, Leader Transition Acceleration Program and third-party learning platforms, in addition to other trainings and education facilitated through the Company for all employees.
Performance management is critical to our ability to reach our goals and foster a culture of success. By having a dynamic, performance-driven culture, we can achieve greater results, maximize employee, manager and team performance and offer exciting development and career opportunities. In fiscal year 2025, we transitioned from an annual performance review cycle to one that has managers and employees meeting for formal check-ins four times a year, focused on goals and expectations, feedback, coaching and career development. As our focus extends beyond the performance of our employees to the performance of our Company as a whole, we have mechanisms in place to facilitate comprehensive upward feedback through robust cross-functional feedback tools and a cadence of regular pulse surveys that inform on how we can continue to strive for excellence in our work culture.
Well-being
At Tapestry, we are committed to providing a safe working environment for our people, as well as supporting our people in achieving and maintaining their health and well-being goals. Work-life integration is top of mind, and we provide resources and benefits to help achieve this balance. We provide our employees with supplemental resources to achieve wellness such as access to our Employee Assistance Program, regular employee programming and subscriptions to Headspace, a smartphone application dedicated to meditation and mindfulness. In addition, the Company maintains an Associate Relief Fund, which provides emergency assistance for events considered a disaster or hardship.
At Tapestry, we believe in encouraging and empowering our employees to take part in building a welcoming and inclusive community. We provide all employees with supplemental time-off to perform community service through nonprofits of their personal choice and through team and Company sponsored volunteering events. In our commitment to supporting our communities, we have three foundations which provide monetary support to nonprofit organizations across communities that we are a part of. Additionally, on an annual basis, our foundations match up to $10,000, per eligible employee, in donations to eligible non-profits in North America.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully all of the information set forth or incorporated by reference in this document and, in particular, the following risk factors associated with the business of the Company and forward-looking information in this document. Please also see “Special Note on Forward-Looking Information” at the beginning of this report. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also have an adverse effect on us. If any of the risks below actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.
Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions
We face risks associated with potential changes to international trade agreements and the imposition of additional tariffs on importing our products.
Most of our imported products are subject to tariffs, indirect taxes, quotas and non-tariff trade barriers that may limit the quantity of products that we may import into the U.S. and other countries or may impact the cost of such products. To maximize opportunities, we rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives and, as a result, we are subject to government regulations and restrictions with respect to our cross-border activity. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities, including related to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") enforcement actions. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas, the withdrawal from or material modification to trade agreements, and/or the detention of our goods by CBP for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
There has been significant reform in U.S. trade policy following the change in U.S. presidential administration in January 2025. International trade disputes as well as changes and uncertainty regarding international trade and trade policies, including the imposition or threat of the imposition of new or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions on goods from the countries where our manufacturers are located, could result in a materially adverse impact to our business. During fiscal 2025, the primary manufacturers of Coach products were located in Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and India, and the primary manufacturers of Kate Spade products were located in Vietnam, Cambodia, mainland China, and the Philippines. Increased tariffs or other trade restrictions against these countries, as well as any tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by these countries in retaliation, could limit our ability to manufacture products in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed. Further, such tariffs or other trade restrictions could require us to absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability. In addition, any negative perception of or sentiments towards the U.S., whether in response to changes in tariffs, trade policy or otherwise, could impact the perception of our Company. Our ability to navigate any uncertainty, changes or expansion in tariffs or other trade restrictions could have a material negative impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
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 discretionary items.
Our results can be impacted by a number of macroeconomic factors, including but not limited to: consumer confidence and spending levels, tax rates, levels of unemployment, consumer credit availability, pandemics, natural disasters, raw material costs, fuel and energy costs, bank failures, market volatility, global factory production, supply chain operations, commercial real estate market conditions, credit market conditions and the level of customer traffic in malls, shopping centers and online.
Many of our products can be considered discretionary items for consumers. Demand for our products, and consumer spending in the handbag, footwear and accessories categories generally is or may be significantly impacted by trends in consumer confidence, general economic and business conditions, high levels of unemployment, periods of inflation, health pandemics, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the availability of consumer credit and taxation. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, such as the Company's products, tend to decline during recessionary periods or periods of sustained high unemployment when disposable income is lower.
Unfavorable economic conditions may also reduce consumers’ willingness and ability to travel to major cities and vacation destinations in which our stores are located. Our sensitivity to economic cycles and any related fluctuation in consumer demand may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Risks Related to our Business and our Industry
We face risks associated with operating in international markets.
We operate on a global basis, with approximately 40.0% of our net sales coming from operations outside of United States for fiscal year 2025. While geographic diversity helps to reduce the Company’s exposure to risks in any one country, we are subject to risks associated with international operations, including, but not limited to:
-
political or economic instability or changing macroeconomic conditions in our major markets, including the potential impact of new policies that may be implemented by the U.S. or other jurisdictions, particularly with respect to tax and trade policies;
-
public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemic diseases;
-
changes to the U.S.'s participation in, withdrawal out of, renegotiation of certain international trade agreements or other major trade related issues, including the non-renewal of expiring favorable tariffs granted to developing countries, tariff quotas and retaliatory tariffs, trade sanctions, new or onerous trade restrictions, embargoes and other stringent government controls;
-
changes in exchange rates for foreign currencies, which may adversely affect the retail prices of our products, result in decreased international consumer demand, or increase our supply costs in those markets, with a corresponding negative impact on our gross margin rates;
-
compliance with laws relating to foreign operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), the U.K. Bribery Act and other global anti-corruption laws, which in general concern the bribery of foreign public officials and other regulations and requirements;
-
changes in tourist shopping patterns and consumer behavior, particularly that of the Chinese consumer;
-
geopolitical instability (such as the uncertainty in U.S.-China relations);
-
natural and other disasters;
-
political, civil and social unrest; and
-
changes in legal and regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to safeguard measures, anti-dumping duties, cargo restrictions to prevent terrorism, restrictions on the transfer of currency, climate change and other environmental legislation, product safety regulations or other charges or restrictions.
Our business is subject to the risks inherent in global sourcing activities.
As a Company engaged in sourcing on a global scale, we are subject to the risks inherent in such activities, including, but not limited to:
-
disruptions or delays in shipments whether due to port congestion, logistics carrier disruption (including as a result of labor disputes), militant attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea, other shipping capacity constraints or other factors, which has and may continue to result in significantly increased inbound freight costs and increased in-transit times;
-
loss or disruption of key manufacturing or fulfillment sites

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
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 and 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 ongoing 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 periodic 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 for 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.

Stock Repurchase Program
On May 12, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.50 billion of its outstanding common stock (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program"). Purchases of the Company's common stock under this program were executed through open market purchases, including through purchase agreements under Rule 10b5-1.
On November 13, 2024, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $2.00 billion of outstanding shares of its common stock (the "2025 Share Repurchase Program"). Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in other transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs. On November 21, 2024, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the “ASR Agreements”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Dealers”) to repurchase an aggregate of up to $2.00 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. Under the ASR Agreements, the Company paid $2.00 billion to the Dealers and received an initial delivery of 28,363,766 shares of the Company's common stock on November 26, 2024. The total number of shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR Agreements will be based on the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock on specified dates during the term of each of the ASR Agreements, less a discount, and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements. The difference between the initially delivered shares and the total number of shares purchased will be settled in four tranches, no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Stuart Weitzman Business Divestiture
On February 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Caleres to sell the Stuart Weitzman Business (as defined below). The Purchaser acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Company's global business of designing, manufacturing, promotion, marketing, production, distribution, sales and licensing of Stuart Weitzman branded products (the "Stuart Weitzman Business") for total cash consideration of $105.0 million (the "Purchase Price"), subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, net working capital and transaction expenses. The sale was completed on August 4, 2025 (the "Stuart Weitzman Business Divestiture"). Refer to Note 5, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," and Note 21, "Subsequent Events," for further information.
Capri Holdings Limited Acquisition
On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry, and Capri. 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. 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, and on October 24, 2024, the Court issued its Opinion and Order granting the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction of the Merger, pending an administrative trial on the merits which was scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the Company and Capri filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the October 24, 2024 Opinion and Order. On November 6, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order setting an expedited briefing schedule for the appeal of the decision of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York granting the preliminary injunction of the merger. On November 13, 2024, the Parties entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby or entered pursuant thereto (the “Termination Date”), effective immediately. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Capri for its expenses in an amount equal to $45.1 million in cash on November 14, 2024. The Parties also agreed to release each other from claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action and liability relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. Following termination of the Merger Agreement, the Parties and the FTC filed a stipulation withdrawing the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 19, 2024 and the Second Circuit dismissed the appeal on November 20, 2024. The Parties and the FTC also filed a Joint Motion to dismiss the complaint in the administrative trial on November 15, 2024 and the FTC dismissed the complaint on December 4, 2024. On November 25, 2024, due to the termination of the Merger Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Capri Acquisition Senior Notes, as supplemented, the Company redeemed all outstanding Capri Acquisition Senior Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Capri Acquisition Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities were terminated concurrently with the execution of the Termination Agreement on November 13, 2024. Refer to Note 5, "Acquisitions and Divestitures" and Note 12, "Debt" for further information.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with the Company's risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The quantitative disclosures in the following discussion are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our foreign currency exchange risk is limited. The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its operating subsidiaries’ transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To mitigate such risk, certain subsidiaries enter into forward currency contracts. As of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the total notional values of outstanding forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $735.0 million and $764.6 million, respectively. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to the derivative instruments will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into derivative contracts with carefully selected financial institutions. The Company also reviews the creditworthiness of our counterparties on a regular basis. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to any undue concentration of counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts as of June 28, 2025.
The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans, payables and receivables. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi, the Singapore Dollar and the New Taiwan Dollar. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these balances, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans, payables and receivables were $157.0 million and $348.2 million, respectively.
The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 was $6.8 million and $58.3 million, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 was $8.0 million and $4.8 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 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, we have multiple fixed to fixed cross currency swap foreign exchange and forward foreign exchange agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1.69 billion and $1.45 billion, respectively, predominately to hedge our net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries, Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries and Chinese Renminbi-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 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 was $15.6 million and $32.2 million, respectively. The fair values of outstanding derivative contracts related to net investment hedges included in current and long-term liabilities at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 was $263.0 million and $139.4 million, respectively. Under the term of the cross currency swap contracts, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 5.5% to 6.4% in Euros, Japanese Yen and Chinese Renminbi for fixed rate payments of 5.5% to 7.9% in USD.
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 contracts and net investment hedges. We assess the risk of loss in the fair values of these contracts that would result from hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This analysis assumes a like movement by the foreign currencies in our hedge portfolio against the U.S. Dollar. As of June 28, 2025, 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 $294 million. This hypothetical net change in fair value should ultimately be largely offset by the net change in the related underlying hedged items. Refer to Note 10, "Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities," for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
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 Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 12, "Debt," for additional information.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the $2.00 Billion Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Amended 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 term secured overnight financing rate, (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 (subject to reduction for certain debt incurred in connection with a pending acquisition or for debt being discharged, satisfied or defeased), to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are subject to interest rate risk due to changes in SOFR. A hypothetical 10% change in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility interest rates would have resulted in an immaterial change in interest expense in fiscal 2025.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of the senior unsecured notes.
The following table shows the estimated fair values of the senior unsecured notes at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of 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 hierarchy:

(1)The fair values of the Capri Acquisition EUR Senior Notes include the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the United States Dollar against the Euro.
The interest rate payable on the 4.125% Senior Notes due 2027 will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the respective senior notes of such series. Refer to Note 12, "Debt" for further information on these instruments.
The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which defines our investment principles including credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes.

All other schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes thereto.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Tapestry, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tapestry, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2025, 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 June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2025, 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) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2025, 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 14, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
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) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. 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 matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
