ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Our Business
Capri Holdings Limited is a global fashion luxury group consisting of iconic brands Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo. Our commitment to creativity, fashion, style and craftsmanship is at the heart of each of our luxury brands. We have built our reputation on designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories. Our strength lies in the unique DNA and heritage of each of our brands, the diversity and passion of our people and our dedication to the clients and communities we serve. Our designs inspire consumers to embrace the feeling of luxury in every moment.
Our Michael Kors brand was launched in 1981 by Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and apparel company with a global distribution network that has presence in over 100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized fashion luxury brand in the Americas and Europe with strong brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a Jet Set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors line and the Michael Kors Mens line. Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by select retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering footwear and apparel. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.
Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range that, since its inception in 1996, has been anchored by women’s luxury footwear, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves and belts, as well as men’s luxury footwear and accessories. In addition, certain categories, including fragrance and eyewear, are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the brand since its inception. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, alongside innovative collections that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
On April 8, 2025, our Board of Directors made the decision to sell Versace to Prada, and a definitive agreement was entered into on April 10, 2025. Accordingly, we determined that the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria were met and we classified the results of operations and cash flows of our Versace business as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. On December 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our Versace business. Unless otherwise noted, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations only relates to our continuing operations. Refer to Note 3 - “Discontinued Operations” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressure, geopolitical instability due to war or other geopolitical factors (such as the conflicts in the Middle East) and broader macroeconomic uncertainty and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business during the first three months of Fiscal 2027, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the luxury accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. Given the discretionary nature of our products, fluctuations in consumer confidence and disposable income, as well as elevated inflation, impact our business performance.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our results of operations were impacted by volatility in manufacturing and sourcing costs during the first three months of Fiscal 2027, primarily driven by changes in raw material prices, labor costs and fuel and freight expenses (including increases in such costs due to the conflicts in the Middle East). In addition, because all of our products sold in the United States are manufactured outside the U.S., changes in trade policies, tariffs and import regulations affected product costs and operating income. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were unlawful. We are entitled to a refund of approximately $65 million in IEEPA tariffs previously paid to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Accordingly, as we intend to recover all the IEEPA tariffs previously paid we recorded an IEEPA tariff refund receivable of $65 million in the prior fiscal year of which we have received
29
$49 million as of July 31, 2026. We still expect to recover the full amount, though actual timing and amounts are subject to completion of the CBP’s refund process and involve inherent risks, including delays in government processing, administrative offsets, appeals of court orders directing refunds, or changes in law or policy affecting the refund process.
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs of 10% pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 effective for 150 days, which commenced on February 24, 2026 and subsequently expired on July 24, 2026. On July 23, 2026, the United States Trade Representative took action under Section 301 imposing tariffs on 60 economies for forced-labor enforcement failures, at country-specific rates of 10% or 12.5%, effective on July 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, and these actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and administration of trade measures, including the timing and recoverability of tariff refunds or relief where applicable, also contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, variability in costs and cash flows. We continue to seek to mitigate the impact of trade measures through sourcing strategies, free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives, where available, but the extent to which we will be able to offset through such mitigation efforts is difficult to predict.
Foreign currency fluctuation and foreign currency hedging instruments. Our consolidated results were impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and the functional currency of our non-United States subsidiaries, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. Currency volatility impacted our first quarter Fiscal 2027 reported results and contributed, or are expected to contribute, to variability of results in prior and future periods. We also utilize derivative instruments, including cross-currency hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure associated with our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which can help mitigate, but does not eliminate, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, and the effectiveness of our hedging strategies may vary based on market conditions and the timing and magnitude of currency movements.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Our results of operations have been impacted, and may continue to be impacted, by disruptions in global shipping, distribution and supply chain operations. During recent periods, port congestion and closures, capacity constraints across ocean, trucking and distribution networks, and disruptions to certain international shipping routes contributed to increased logistics and production costs, affected the timing of inventory receipts and created pressure on gross margin.
Segment Information
We operate in two reportable segments, which are as follows:
Michael Kors
We generate revenue through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which we sell our products, as well as licensed products bearing our name, directly to consumers throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), certain parts of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia (Asia and Oceania). We also sell Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and EMEA, to specialty stores and travel retail shops in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and to our geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and Brazil. In addition, revenue is generated through product and geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including watches, jewelry, fragrances and eyewear, as well as through geographic licensing arrangements, which allow third parties to use the Michael Kors tradename in connection with the retail and/or wholesale sales of our Michael Kors branded products in specific geographic regions.
Jimmy Choo
We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods through directly operated Jimmy Choo retail and outlet stores throughout the Americas, certain parts of EMEA and certain parts of Asia, and through our e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales of luxury goods to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements that allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo tradename in connection with retail and/or wholesale sales of Jimmy Choo branded products in specific geographic regions), department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product licensing agreements, which allow third parties to use the Jimmy Choo brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of products, including fragrances and eyewear.
30
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
In addition to the reportable segments discussed above, we have certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to our brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information technology systems expenses and Capri transformation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other expense. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance.
The following table presents our total revenue and income from continuing operations by segment for the three months ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 (in millions):

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Our Business
Capri Holdings Limited is a global fashion luxury group consisting of iconic brands Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo. Our commitment to glamorous style and craftsmanship is at the heart of each of our luxury brands. We have built our reputation on designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories. Our strength lies in the unique DNA and heritage of each of our brands, the diversity and passion of our people and our dedication to the clients and communities we serve.
Our Michael Kors brand was launched in 1981 by Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, whose vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and apparel company with a global distribution network that has presence in over 100 countries through Company-operated retail stores and e-commerce sites, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. Michael Kors is a highly recognized fashion luxury brand in the Americas and Europe with strong brand awareness in other international markets. Michael Kors features distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a Jet Set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Michael Kors offers three primary collections: the Michael Kors Collection line, the MICHAEL Michael Kors line and the Michael Kors Mens line. Michael Kors Collection establishes the aesthetic authority of the entire brand and is carried by select retail stores, our e-commerce sites, as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. MICHAEL Michael Kors has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering footwear and apparel. We have also been developing our men’s business in recognition of the significant opportunity afforded by the Michael Kors brand’s established fashion authority and the expanding men’s market. Taken together, our Michael Kors collections target a broad customer base while retaining our premium luxury image.
Our Jimmy Choo brand offers a distinctive, glamorous and fashion-forward product range that since its inception in 1996 has been anchored by women’s luxury footwear, complemented by accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves and belts, as well as men’s luxury footwear and accessories. In addition, certain categories, including fragrance and eyewear, are produced under licensing agreements. Jimmy Choo’s design team is led by Sandra Choi, who has been the Creative Director for the brand since its inception in 1996. Jimmy Choo products are unique, instinctively seductive and chic. The brand offers classic and timeless luxury products, alongside innovative collections that are intended to set and lead fashion trends. Jimmy Choo is represented through its global store network, its e-commerce sites, as well as through the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide.
On April 8, 2025, our Board of Directors made the decision to sell Versace to Prada, and a definitive agreement was entered into on April 10, 2025. Accordingly, we determined that the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria were met and we classified the results of operations and cash flows of our Versace business as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. On December 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our Versace business. The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations only relates to our continuing operations. Refer to Note 4 - “Discontinued Operations” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tapestry
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, a Maryland corporation, and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. The Merger Agreement provided that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry would acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri, with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry.
The Merger had been approved by the boards of directors of Capri and Tapestry and by the shareholders of Capri. Completion of the Merger was subject to, among other customary conditions, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Company received

regulatory approval from all countries except for the United States. In connection with Tapestry’s proposed acquisition of Capri, on April 22, 2024, the U.S. FTC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Tapestry and the Company seeking to block the Merger, claiming that the Merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Merger constituted unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined. The preliminary injunction hearing concluded in September 2024, and on October 24, 2024, the District Court granted the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Merger pending the completion of the FTC's in-house administrative proceeding. On October 28, 2024, Tapestry and Capri jointly filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”).
On November 13, 2024, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into a termination agreement pursuant to which they agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. In connection with the termination, consistent with the Merger Agreement, Tapestry agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $45 million in cash for certain expenses on November 14, 2024. The parties to the Merger Agreement also agreed to release each other and their related parties from any and all liability, claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liens, obligations, accounts, debts, demands, agreements, promises, liabilities, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees) in connection with, arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. On November 15, 2024, Capri and Tapestry stipulated to the dismissal of the appeal to the Second Circuit. On December 4, 2024, the FTC’s in-house administrative proceeding was dismissed without prejudice.
Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressure, geopolitical instability due to war or other geopolitical factors (such as the conflicts in the Middle East) and broader macroeconomic uncertainty and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide impacted our business in Fiscal 2026, and are likely to continue to impact our business and the luxury accessories, footwear and apparel industry overall for the foreseeable future. Given the discretionary nature of our products, fluctuations in consumer confidence and disposable income, as well as elevated inflation impacts our business performance.
Costs of manufacturing, tariffs and import regulations. Our results of operations were impacted by volatility in manufacturing and sourcing costs during Fiscal 2026, primarily driven by changes in raw material prices, labor costs and fuel and freight expenses (including increases in such costs due to the conflicts in the Middle East). In addition, because all of our products sold in the United States are manufactured outside the U.S., changes in trade policies, tariffs and import regulations affected product costs and operating income. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were unlawful. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, and these actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and administration of trade measures, including the timing and recoverability of tariff refunds or relief where applicable, also contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, variability in costs and cash flows. We continue to seek to mitigate the impact of trade measures through sourcing strategies, free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives, where available, but the extent to which we will be able to offset through such mitigation efforts is difficult to predict.
Foreign currency fluctuation and foreign currency hedging instruments. Our consolidated results were impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates between our reporting currency, the United States dollar, and the functional currency of our non-United States subsidiaries, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi and the Japanese Yen, among others. Currency volatility impacted our Fiscal 2026 reported results and contributed, or are expected to contribute, to variability of results in prior and future periods. We also utilize derivative instruments, including cross-currency hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure associated with our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which can help mitigate, but does not eliminate, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, and the effectiveness of our hedging strategies may vary based on market conditions and the timing and magnitude of currency movements.
Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. Our results of operations have been impacted, and may continue to be impacted, by disruptions in global shipping, distribution and supply chain operations. During recent periods, port congestion and closures, capacity constraints across ocean, trucking and distribution networks, and disruptions to certain international shipping routes contributed to increased logistics and production costs, affected the timing of inventory receipts and created pressure on gross margin.
