Industry
We operate in the global personal luxury goods industry. The personal luxury goods market grew at a 5% rate over the past 20 years, with more recent growth driven by stronger Chinese demand from both international and local consumers and demographic and socioeconomic shifts resulting in younger consumers purchasing more luxury goods. The personal luxury goods market grew approximately 7% in 2019 despite growing geopolitical tensions, such as trade tensions between the United States and China, Brexit and protests in Hong Kong. Growth in 2020 is expected to be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent global recovery. According to forecasts by Bain-Altagamma, the personal luxury goods market is expected to contract between 20% and 35% in 2020. Bain-Altagamma forecasted a 10% growth rate from 2020 to 2025. Accessories remains the largest and fastest growing personal luxury goods category, driven by leather goods and footwear. Over the past tenseveral years, direct-to-consumer has been the luxury goods industry has grown and has remained resilient during economic downturns. While this growth has slowed in the recent years, the demand for the worldwide luxury goods industry, and accessories in particular, is predicted to continue to grow. While the wholesalefastest-growing channel, has experienced a slower performance, retail channel continues to growlargely driven by new store openingsthe rapid and theaccelerating growth of the e-commerce channel. Accessories remains the leader withinchannel, which is expected to represent 30% of personal luxury goods growing at a faster rate than other luxury categories. The jewelry category alsosales by 2025. Consumer shopping preferences have continued to grow inshift from physical stores to on-line shopping. As the past year, while watchoverall retail environment becomes increasingly omni-channel, with point of sales have experienced a global decline.evolving into point of touch, we believe that increased customer engagement and tailoring merchandise to customer shopping and communication preferences are the key ingredients to growing market share. We believe that we are well positionedour innovative and luxurious product offerings and customer engagement initiatives across all three brands position us to capitalize on the continued growth of the luxury accessories and footwear product category,categories, as it is one ofthey are among our primary product categories of focus, andas well as to grow our sales in our other product categories, with new innovative productsuch as ready-to-wear where we now have a broader presence across both women’s and men’s offerings.

Competitive Strengths
We believe that the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:
GrowingGlobal Fashion Luxury Lifestyle Brand with Best-in-Class Growth MetricsGroup Led by a World-Class Management Team and Renowned Designers. We believe that theare a global fashion luxury group, consisting of three iconic brands defined by fashion luxury products with a reputation for world-class design and innovation. The design leadership of our founder-designers Donatella Versace, Sandra Choi and Michael Kors name has become synonymous with luxurious fashion that is timeless and elegant, expressed through sophisticated accessory and ready-to-wear collections. Each of our collections exemplifies the jet-set lifestyle and features high quality designs, materials and craftsmanship. Some of the most widely recognized global trendsetters—including celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Michelle Obama, Gwyneth Paltrow, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Cate Blanchett—walk the red carpet in our collections. We have built a solid foundation for continued long-term global growth and currently enjoy best-in-class growth metrics.
Design Vision Led by World-Renowned, Award-Winning Designer. Michael Kors, a world-renowned designer, personally leads our experienced design team. Mr. Kors and his team are responsible for conceptualizing and directing the design of all of our products, and their design leadership is a unique advantage that we possess. Mr. Kors has received a number of awards, which recognize the contribution Mr. Kors and his team have made to the fashion industry and our Company.
Leveraging Brand Position to Grow the Global Accessories Product Category. The accessories product category has been the fastest growing product category in the global luxury goods industry. In 2004, we saw the opportunity to capitalize on growing accessories demand by leveraging the strength of the Michael Kors luxury collection, and we introduced the accessible luxury MICHAEL Michael Kors, further enhancing our brand awareness.

Proven Multi-Format Retail Segment with Significant Growth Opportunity. In Fiscal 2016, our retail segment reported net sales of $2.395 billion, which represented a 12.2% increase from net sales of $2.135 billion in Fiscal 2015. Within our retail segment we have four primary retail store formats: collection stores, lifestyle stores, outlet stores and e-commerce sites. Our collection storesfounder-led design teams are located in some of the world’s most prestigious shopping areas, such as Madison Avenue in New York and Rodeo Drive in California, and are generally 3,200 square feet in size. Our lifestyle stores are located in some of the world’s most frequented metropolitan shopping locations and leading regional shopping centers, and are generally 2,700 square feet in size. We also extend our reach to additional consumer groups through our outlet stores, which are generally 3,600 square feet in size. We also have e-commerce sites in the United States and Canada and plan to launch additional e-commerce sites in Europe and Asia in Fiscal 2017 and 2018. In addition to these four retail store formats, we operate concessions in a select number of department stores in North America and internationally.
Strong Relationships with Premier Wholesale Customers. We partner with leading wholesale customers, such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Holt Renfrew, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s in North America; and Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Galeries Lafayette in Europe. These relationships enable us to access large numbers of our key consumers in a targeted manner. Our "shop-in-shops" have specially trained staff, as well as customized fixtures, wall casings, decorative items, and flooring, and provide department store consumers with a more personalized shopping experience than traditional retail department store configurations. We are also engaged with our wholesale customers on initiatives designed to maximize their e-commerce growth and have entered into new innovative supply chain partnerships with our wholesale customers designed to increase the speed at which our products reach the ultimate consumer. These initiatives, among others, have helped increase total revenue for our wholesale segment by 3.8% from $2.065 billion in Fiscal 2015 to $2.144 billion in Fiscal 2016, despite a challenging wholesale environment.
Innovative Product Offerings from our Licensing Segment. The strength of our global brand has been instrumental in helping us build our licensing business. We collaborate with a select number of product licensees who produce and sell what we believe are products requiring specialized expertise that are enhancedsupported by our brand strength. Our relationship with Fossil Partners, LP. (“Fossil”), for instance, has helped us create a line of watches and jewelry that we believe have become status items for young fashion-conscious consumers. As of April 2, 2016, our product licensees also included the Aramis and Designer Fragrances division of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (“Estée Lauder”) for fragrances and beauty, and Luxottica Group (Luxottica) for eyewear, among others. Our relationships with our product licensees have helped us leverage our success across demographics and categories by taking advantage of their unique expertise, resulting in total revenue for licensed products increasing from $171.8 million in Fiscal 2015 to $173.3 million in Fiscal 2016, despite taking direct control of our previously licensed businesses in Latin America and South Korea in Fiscal 2016. During Fiscal 2017, we plan to introduce new fragrance offerings and connected technology, in collaboration with our licensees. In addition, we have agreements with non-manufacturing third-party licensees who we believe have particular expertise in the distribution of fashion accessories, footwear and apparel in specific geographic territories, such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe, certain parts of Asia and Australia.

Manufacturing and Sourcing
We generally contract for the purchase of finished goods principally with independent third-party manufacturing contractors, whereby the manufacturing contractor is generally responsible for the entire manufacturing process, including the purchase of piece goods and trim. Although we do not have written agreements with anytrim for our Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands. For the Versace brand, some of ourthe piece goods and trim are separately purchased by Versace and provided to the manufacturers, and some are sourced directly by the manufacturers, as further described below.
Versace has a centrally managed production model for the majority of its products, and buys raw materials and components for these products. All raw materials arrive in a central warehouse in Novara, Italy and are distributed to independent third-party manufacturing contractors after the quality control process is complete. The vast majority of Versace’s production is located in Italy. The remaining production occurs in Tunisia, elsewhere in Europe and a small portion is produced in Asia.
Jimmy Choo products are also manufactured by independent third-party manufacturing contractors. Most of Jimmy Choo’s products are produced by specialists in Italy, supported by other factories across Europe, with a small portion produced in Asia. Jimmy Choo has a product development facility in Florence. During Fiscal 2020, we believe we have mutually satisfactory relationshipsacquired Italian atelier and shoe manufacturer Alberto Gozzi S.r.L. In the immediate future, the factory will primarily develop and produce shoes for Jimmy Choo. Jimmy Choo typically purchases finished goods and does not purchase raw materials, except for product development purposes.
Michael Kors contracts for the purchase of finished goods principally with them. We allocate productindependent third-party manufacturing contractors that are generally responsible for the entire manufacturing process, including the purchase of piece goods and trim. Product manufacturing for the Michael Kors brand is allocated among third-party agents based on their capabilities, the availability of production capacity, pricing and delivery. We haveMichael Kors also has relationships with various agents who source our finished goods with numerous manufacturing contractors on ourits behalf. Although our relationships with our agents are generally terminable at any time, we believe we have mutually satisfactory relationships with them.This multi-supplier strategy provides specialist skills, scalability, flexibility and speed to market, as well as diversifies risk. In Fiscal 20162020 and 2015,Fiscal 2019, one third-party agent sourced approximately 14.9%26% and 11.7%24% of ourMichael Kors finished goods purchases, respectively. In Fiscal 2016, byrespectively, based on unit volume. Michael Kors’ largest manufacturing contractor, who produces its products in Asia and who Michael Kors has worked with for over 10 years, accounted for the production of approximately 20% of its finished products, based on dollar volume approximately 97.2%in Fiscal 2020. Nearly all of our Michael Kors products were produced in Asia and Europe. See Item 1A. — “Import Restrictions and Other Government Regulations” and “Risk Factors” — “We primarily use foreignin Fiscal 2020.
The manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to sourcefor our finished goods, which poses legal, regulatory, political and economic risks to our business operations.”
Manufacturing contractors and agentsbrands operate under the close supervision of our global manufacturing divisions and buying agents headquarteredlocated in North America, Europe and Asia. All products are produced according to our specifications. Production staff monitors manufacturing at supplier facilities in order to correct problems prior to shipment of the final product. Quality assurance is focused on as early as possible in the production process, allowing merchandise to be received at the distribution facilities and shipped to customers with minimal interruption. See “Import Restrictions and Other Governmental Regulations” and Item 1A. —“Risk Factors” — “We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods, which poses legal, regulatory, political and economic risks to our business operations.”
Our future manufacturing and sourcing strategy includes creating a manufacturing center of excellence in Italy, as well as purchasing luxury manufacturing facilities in Italy to support all of our brands, to secure capacity and improve expertise in development and delivery. While the fashion design process will remain independently managed by each of our brands, we believe that creating a manufacturing center of excellence, which would combine all functions that support our design teams, from leather and hardware purchases to investment in machinery and systems, will create synergies and efficiencies for our global fashion luxury group.

We consider our relations with both our union and non-union employees areto be good.

Competition
We face intense competition in the product lines and markets in which we compete.operate from both existing and new competitors. Our products compete with other branded products within their product category. 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 other bases. In our wholesale business, we compete with numerous manufacturers, importers and distributors of accessories, footwear and apparelproducts like ours for the limited space available for product display. Moreover, the general availability of manufacturing contractors allows new entrants easy access to the markets in which we compete, which may increase the number of our competitors and adversely affect our competitive position and our business.
Over the last several years the accessories category, in particular, has grown, encouraging the entry of new competitors, as well as increasing the competition from existing competitors. We believe, however, that we have significant competitive advantages because of the recognition of our brand recognitionbrands and the acceptance of our brand namebrands by consumers. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors"Factors”"The“The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, both within North America and internationally, and increased competition based on a number of factors could cause our profitability and/or gross margins to decline.”

Import Restrictions and Other Governmental Regulations
Virtually all of our merchandise imported into the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia isproducts are subject to duties.duties which may impact the costs of such products. In addition, most of the countries to which we ship couldour products may impose safeguard quotas to protect their local industries from import surgeslimit the quantity of products that threaten to create market disruption. The United Statesmay be imported. We rely on free trade agreements and other countries may also unilaterally impose additional dutiessupply chain initiatives in responseorder to a particularmaximize efficiencies relating to product being imported at unfairly traded prices that, in such increased quantities, cause or threaten injury to the relevant domestic industry (generally known as “anti-dumping” actions). If dumping is suspected inimportation. On May 10, 2019, the United States (“U.S.”) increased the sanction tariffs rate from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of imports of select product categories (Tranche 3), which includes handbags and travel goods from China, and effective September 1, 2019, a 10% tariff on an additional $300 billion of goods from China, including ready-to-wear, footwear and men’s products, went into effect. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to both importation activities and product labeling, testing and safety. We maintain a global customs and product compliance organization to help manage our import and related regulatory activity.
Corporate Social Responsibility
In April 2020, we released our first group-wide corporate social responsibility strategy. The report builds upon the initiatives that each of our brands has already been working on, and outlines our global strategy to achieve significant, measurable goals across a range of important environmental and social sustainability issues, including material sourcing, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, waste reduction, diversity and inclusion and philanthropic giving. See “Business Strategy” - “Execute on our corporate social responsibility strategy.”
Our company’s corporate social responsibility strategy is divided into three areas:
Our World – focused on actions across our operations and supply chain, meant to significantly reduce our environmental impact.
Our Community – fostering a supportive, healthy, diverse and inclusive workplace for all of our employees.
Our Philanthropy – connecting the talents, energy and success of each of our brands to those in need around the world.

Accessories, footwear and apparel sold by us are also subject to regulation in the United States and other countries by governmental agencies, including, in the United States, the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Products Safety Commission. These regulations relate principally to product labeling, licensing requirements, flammability testing and product safety. We are also subject to environmental laws, rules and regulations. Similarly, accessories, footwear and apparel sold by us are also subject to import regulations in the United States and other countries concerning the use of wildlife products for commercial and non-commercial trade, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We do not estimate any significant capital expenditures for environmental control matters either in the current fiscal year or in the near future. Our licensed products and licensing partners are also subject to regulation. Our agreements require our licensing partners to operate in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and we are not aware of any violations that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effectCorporate Social Responsibility report is available on our business or operating results.website at www.capriholdings.com/csr.
We are also required to comply with the disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to the use of conflict minerals in our products. As a result, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs to comply with this rule.
Although we have not suffered any material restriction from doing business in desirable markets in the past, we cannot assure that significant impediments will not arise in the future as we expand product offerings and introduce additional trademarks to new markets.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
You should carefully read this entire report, including, without limitation, the following risk factors and the section of this annual report entitled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Any of the following factors could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently view as immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and is likely to continue causing significant disruption to the global economy, to consumer spending and behavior, and to financial markets, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operating results cannot be predicted with certainty, and will depend largely on the duration and severity of the pandemic and other future events outside of our control. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to government orders and proactive decisions we have made to protect the health and safety of our employees, consumers and communities, at various points during the course of the pandemic we temporarily closed almost all of our retail stores globally and we furloughed all of our retail store employees in North America and many of our retail personnel elsewhere for an extended time. We may face longer term store closure requirements and other operational restrictions with respect to some or all of our retail stores in the future, and government restrictions and health and safety measures (including social distancing protocols) may prevent us from opening or limit our ability to fully operate in the ordinary course, which could materially impact our financial results. We have also closed many of our corporate offices globally and have implemented a work-from-home policy for many of our corporate employees, which may also negatively affect productivity in, or otherwise result in disruptions to, parts of our business.
As a result of store closures and reduced consumer traffic caused by COVID-19, many of our wholesale customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties, causing a reduction in the amount of merchandise purchased from us and our product licensing partners, an increase in order cancellations and/or the need to extend payment terms. Any or all of these measures could substantially reduce our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our profitability. In addition, these actions could lead to larger outstanding accounts receivable balances, delays in collection of accounts receivable, increased expenses associated with collection efforts, increases in bad debt expense, and reduced cash flows.
Furthermore, our supply chain may also be significantly negatively affected if the factories that produce our product, the distribution centers that manage and ship our inventory, or the operations of our third-party logistics and other service providers are disrupted, closed or experience worker shortages, which may result in disruptions and delays in product shipments.
In light of our retail store closures in response to government orders, mandates, guidelines and recommendations limiting business operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as decisions by many of the retail centers in which we operate to close shopping centers, we are taking certain actions with respect to our lease obligations, including discontinuing rent payments, negotiating with landlords for rent abatement or other rent relief and terminating certain leases, which may subject us to legal, reputational and financial risks. We may also take further actions with respect to our lease obligations in the future, which may not be successful.

In addition, we expect that traffic to our retail stores (and the retail stores of department stores and other third-party retailers that sell our products) as they reopen will be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers may be concerned about becoming ill if they travel to physical retail locations. We further expect that consumer spending will be negatively affected by macroeconomic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including a continued high unemployment rate and an economic recession, which may impact our physical retail stores, our e-commerce business and third-party wholesale accounts. Any significant disruption in consumer traffic, consumer behavior and/or consumer spending at our retail stores, on our e-commerce sites and/or at third-party wholesale accounts following the pandemic would result in a decrease in sales and profits and otherwise materially impact our business and financial performance.
COVID-19 may also have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and cash flows. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities, and sufficient funds are not otherwise available to us from borrowings under our credit facility or other sources, we may not be able to cover our expenses, fund our other liquidity and working capital needs, or execute on our strategic initiatives which could significantly harm our business. Our insurance costs may also increase substantially in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The long-term growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our strategic initiatives.
As part of our long-term strategy, we intend to grow our market share and revenue through the following initiatives:
trendsetting and innovative product offerings;
increased brand engagement;
optimizing customer experience;
investing in technology; and
expanding our global presence.
We also intend to support the growth of Versace and Jimmy Choo sales through retail store openings and further developing each brand’s e-commerce and omni-channel presence, as well as expanding into the luxury accessories market. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully execute on these strategic initiatives.
If we are unable to execute on our strategic initiatives, including for reasons due to the challenges we face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial condition and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or engage in additional transactions.
As of March 28, 2020, our consolidated indebtedness was approximately $2.2 billion, net of debt issuance costs and discount amortization. Our total borrowings as of March 28, 2020 included $681 million outstanding under our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, senior notes of $450 million and term loans of $1.0 billion. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash from our operations. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Until recently, we have been able to use our cash from operations to fund our debt service obligations and to utilize our Revolving Credit Facility to supplement our near-term liquidity needs. Our cash from operations have declined significantly largely due to retail store closures and reduced store traffic caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, an additional $230 million 364 day revolving credit facility was added under the 2018 Credit Facility and our lenders agreed to modify until March 31, 2021 the material adverse change representation required to be made in connection with revolving borrowings and the issuance or amendment of letters of credit to disregard certain COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts. Notwithstanding this additional facility and the modifications to our 2018 Credit Facility, our substantial level of indebtedness could have negative consequences to our business and we cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make payments of our debt, fund other liquidity needs, make necessary capital expenditures or pursue certain business opportunities.

In addition, our ability to access the credit and capital markets in the future as a source of funding, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, is dependent upon market conditions and our credit rating and outlook. In March 2020, Moody’s Investor Service downgraded their credit rating of us from Baa2 to Ba1, and in April 2020 Fitch Ratings downgraded their credit rating of us from BBB- to BB+. These downgrades, and any future reduction in our credit ratings, could result in reduced access to the credit and capital markets, more restrictive covenants in future financial documents and higher interest costs, and potentially increased lease or hedging costs. Our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing and negatively impact our ability to enter into new financing arrangements in the future.
We have suspended rent payments for our retail stores that have been closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result our landlords may attempt to hold us in breach of our lease obligations and take other actions, including terminating our leases and/or accelerating our future rent if we cannot reach acceptable settlements or otherwise prevail in litigation.
We do not own any of our retail store facilities, but instead lease all of our stores under operating results.leases. Our leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual base rent and most require the payment of additional percentage rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Certain of our European stores also require initial investments in the form of key money to secure prime locations, which may be paid to landlords or existing lessees. Generally, our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay all of the costs of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases or withhold payments at our option, and payments under these operating leases account for a significant portion of our operating costs. For example, as of March 28, 2020, we were party to operating leases associated with our retail stores that we operate directly throughout the globe, as well as other global corporate facilities, requiring future minimum lease payments aggregating to $1.8 billion through Fiscal 2025 and approximately $566 million thereafter through Fiscal 2044.
In light of our retail store closures in response to government orders, mandates, guidelines and recommendations limiting business operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as decisions by many of the retail centers in which we operate to close shopping centers, we temporarily closed all of our retail stores in North America and Europe. On April 1, 2020, we suspended rent payments under the leases for these stores. As a result of such suspension, landlords could allege that we are in default under the lease and attempt to terminate our lease and/or accelerate our future rents. Although we believe that strong legal grounds exist to support our claim that we are not obligated to pay rent during periods of closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance whether or not, and to what degree, such arguments will be successful, and any dispute under these leases may result in litigation with the landlord, which could be costly and have an uncertain outcome.
In addition, as our retail stores reopen, we expect to require additional negotiations with our landlords to further defer or abate rent, to modify the terms of our leases (including rent and expiration date) and in certain instances to terminate a lease or permanently close a store. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully negotiate rent deferrals or abatements, lease modifications or lease terminations on favorable terms or at all. Our substantial operating lease obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to meet financial covenants in our indebtedness agreements which could result in an event of default and restrictive covenants in such agreements may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
On March 20, 2020, we entered into the first amendment, and on June 25, 2020, we entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”), to the third amended and restated senior unsecured credit facility, dated as of November 15, 2018 (as amended, the “2018 Credit Facility”), with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Company and a U.S., Canadian, Dutch and Swiss subsidiary of the Company are the borrowers under the 2018 Credit Facility. The borrowers and certain material subsidiaries of the Company provide guarantees of the 2018 Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the US borrowers and guarantors and substantially all of the registered intellectual property of the Company, the borrower and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in our 2018 Credit Facility requiring us to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021. When this financial covenant is reinstated, the applicable ratio will be calculated net of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to the extent in excess of $100 million and shall exclude up to $150 million of supply chain financings, and the maximum permitted net leverage ratio will be 4.00 to 1.0. In addition, the Second Amendment requires us, during the period from June 25, 2020 until we deliver our financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021, to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus the aggregate undrawn amounts under the revolving facilities under the 2018 Credit Facility of not less than $300 million, increasing to $400 million on October 1, 2020 and $500 million on December 1, 2020. Our ability to satisfy the maximum net leverage ratio test when it is reinstated and the liquidity test may be affected by events beyond our control, including effects of COVID-19 on our business, and we may be unable to comply with these covenants.
In addition, the 2018 Credit Facility and the Indenture governing our senior notes contain certain restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us, and the Second Amendment imposes incremental restrictions on certain of these covenants during the covenant relief period provided under the 2018 Credit Facility, including restrictions on our ability to:
incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;
make loans and investments, including acquisitions;
sell assets;
incur liens;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets
which collectively may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the documents that govern our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the credit agreement governing our 2018 Credit Facility would permit the lenders under our 2018 Credit Facility to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility and foreclose on the collateral that secures the 2018 Credit Facility. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:
limited in how we conduct our business;
unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns, including as a result of COVID-19; or
unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.
Our retail stores are heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to travel and shop and a decline in consumer traffic could have a negative effect on our comparable store sales and store profitability resulting in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Reduced travel resulting from economic conditions, fuel shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, disease pandemics (including COVID-19), epidemics and other health-related concerns, war, terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of war or terrorist attacks could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly if such events impact our customers’ desire to travel to our retail stores. For example, social distancing measures and other restrictions imposed by governments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have had and are expected to continue to affect our customers’ ability and desire to travel to our stores, which in turn has had and will continue to have a material adverse impact on our store revenue.

In addition, other factors that could impact the success of our retail stores include: (i) the location of the mall or the location of a particular store within the mall; (ii) the other tenants occupying space at the mall; (iii) vacancies within the mall (including retailers that may not reopen post-COVID-19); (iv) stores and malls having to re-close due to personnel or customer illness or further government restrictions; (v) increased competition in areas where the malls are located; (vi) the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the malls; and (vii) a shift toward online shopping which may be exacerbated in light of COVID-19 even when stores reopen. A decline in consumer traffic could have a negative effect on our comparable store sales and/or average sales per square foot and store profitability. If our retail stores underperform due to declining consumer traffic or otherwise and our expected future cash flows of the related underlying retail store asset do not exceed such asset’s carrying value, we may incur store impairment charges. A decline in future comparable store sales and/or store profitability or failure to meet market expectations or the occurrence of impairment charges relating to our retail store fleet could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of large wholesale customers, and the loss of or decline in business from any of these wholesale customers could substantially reduce our total revenue.
A small number of our wholesale customers account for a significant portion of our sales. Revenue from our five largest wholesale customers represented 17% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2020 and 19% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2019. We do not have written agreements with any of our wholesale customers and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis. As a result of store closures and reduced consumer traffic caused by COVID-19, many of our wholesale customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties, causing a reduction in the amount of merchandise purchased from us and our product licensing partners, an increase in order cancellations and/or the need to extend payment terms. Any or all of these measures could substantially reduce our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our profitability. In addition, these actions could lead to larger outstanding balances, delays in collection of accounts receivable, increased expenses associated with collection efforts, increase in excess inventory, increases in bad debt expense, and reduced cash flows.
The retail industry has experienced a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes over the past several years and we expect such changes will continue and that the risk of bankruptcy, restructurings or reorganizations by department stores and other retailers will increase as a result of COVID-19. The changes could also result in store closings by our wholesale customers, which would decrease the number of stores carrying our products, while the remaining stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and/or may reduce the retail floor space designated for our brands. In addition, such consolidation, bankruptcy or other changes with respect to our wholesale customers could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of large wholesale customers and decrease our negotiating strength with our wholesale customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, certain of our wholesale customers, particularly those located in the U.S., have become highly promotional and have aggressively marked down their merchandise and we expect that such markdowns may be exacerbated because of the impact of COVID-19. Such promotional activity could negatively impact our business.
The accessories, footwear and apparel industries are heavily influenced by general macroeconomic cycles that affect consumer spending and a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
The accessories, footwear and apparel industries have historically been subject to cyclical variations, recessions in the general economy and uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that can affect consumer spending habits. Purchases of discretionary luxury items, such as our products, tend to decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower. The success of our operations depends on a number of factors impacting discretionary consumer spending, including the extent and duration of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, general economic conditions, consumer confidence, wages and unemployment, housing prices, consumer debt, interest rates, fuel and energy costs, taxation and political conditions. A continuation or worsening of the current weakness in the economy may negatively affect consumer and wholesale purchases of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditioncondition.

Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors which may cause our profitability and gross margins in the future to be materially lower than our expectations.
Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and consumer discretionary spending, intense competition and a highly promotional environment, fragmentation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products, changes in consumer behavior, fashion trends, pricing, inflation, the timing of the release of new merchandise and promotional events, changes in our merchandise mix, the success of marketing programs and weather and other environmental conditions. These factors may cause our profitability and gross margins in the future to be materially lower than in recent periods and our expectations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. As a result of COVID-19, we may be faced with significant excess inventories, and in the future, if we misjudge the market for our products, we may have excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products. We may be forced to rely on markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess and slow-moving inventory, which also may negatively impact our gross margin and profitability.
Acquisitions may not achieve intended benefits and may not be successfully integrated.
We face additional risks associated with our strategy to grow our business through acquisitions of other brands and geographic licensees, such as our acquisitions of Versace in December 2018 and Jimmy Choo in November 2017.
Our acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo or any other entity that we may acquire may not perform as well as initially expected, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are required to test goodwill, brand and any other intangible assets acquired as a result of acquisitions for impairment. For Fiscal 2020, the carrying value of goodwill and brand intangible value for Jimmy Choo exceeded its respective related fair value, requiring us to record an impairment charge for the difference of $351 million.
In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any licensee or any other business that we may acquire into our own business, or achieve any expected cost savings or synergies from such integration or we may determine to limit the integration of our brands. In addition to the overarching and continued challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential difficulties that we may face that could cause the results of the acquisition of such previously licensed business, Versace, Jimmy Choo, or any other business that we may acquire to not be in line with our expectations include, among others:
failure to implement our business plan for the combined business or to achieve anticipated revenue or profitability targets;
delays or difficulties in completing the integration of acquired companies or assets;
higher than expected costs, lower than expected cost savings and/or a need to allocate resources to manage unexpected operating results.difficulties;
unanticipated issues in integrating logistics, information and other systems;
unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;
retaining key customers, suppliers and employees;
operating risks inherent in the acquired business and our business;
diversion of the attention and resources of management and resource constraints;
retaining and obtaining required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits;
unanticipated changes in the combined business due to potential divestitures or other requirements imposed by antitrust regulators;
assumption of liabilities not identified in due diligence or other unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities; and
the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Additionally, Jimmy Choo outsources its information technology, accounting and other back office activities to a third-party service provider pursuant to an agreement effective October 2, 2017. There are risks of relying on a third-party provider to perform these services, which may include experiencing operational challenges and incurring increased expenses, which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, both within North America and internationally, and increased competition based on a number of factors could cause our profitability and/or gross margins to decline.
WeOur brands face intense competition from other domestic and foreign accessories, footwear and apparel producers and retailers, including, the following brands, among others, Coach, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Tory Burch, Prada, Kate Spade, Tommy Hilfigerprimarily European and Calvin Klein, as well asAmerican international luxury brands. In addition, we face competition through third party distribution channels that sell our merchandise, such as e-commerce, department stores and specialty stores. Competition is based on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:
anticipating and responding to changing consumer demands in a timely manner;
establishing and maintaining favorable brand-name recognition;
determining and maintaining product quality;
maintaining key employees;
maintaining and growing market share;
developing quality and differentiated products that appeal to consumers;
establishing and maintaining acceptable relationships with retail customers;
pricing products appropriately;
providing appropriate service and support to retailers;
optimizing retail and supply chain capabilities;
determining size and location of retail and department store selling space; and
protecting intellectual property.
In addition, some of our competitors may be significantly larger and more diversified than us and may have significantly greater financial, technological, manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Their greater capabilities in these areas may enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the accessories, footwear and apparel industries (including related to COVID-19), compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and more quickly develop new products. The general availability of manufacturing contractors and agents also allows new entrants easy access to the markets in which we compete, which may increase the number of our competitors and adversely affect our competitive position and our business. Any increased competition, or our failure to adequately address any of these competitive factors, could result in reduced sales,revenues, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
Competition, along with other factors such as consolidation, changes in consumer spending patterns and a highly promotional retail selling environment (including the impacts of COVID-19), could also result in significant pricing pressure. These factors may cause us to reduce our sales prices to our wholesale customers and retail consumers, which could cause our gross margins to decline if we are unable to appropriately manage inventory levels and/or otherwise offset price reductions with comparable reductions in our operating costs. If our sales prices decline and we fail to sufficiently reduce our product costs or operating expenses, our profitability may decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our retail stores are heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to travel and shop and we may be unable to maintain the same comparable store sales or average sales per square foot that we have in the past, which could cause our share price to decline.
Reduced travel resulting from economic conditions, fuel shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, disease epidemics and other health-related concerns, war, terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of war or terrorist attacks could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly if such events impact our customers desire to travel to our retail stores. In addition, other factors that could impact the success of our retail stores include: (i) the location of the mall or the location of a particular store within the mall; (ii) the other tenants occupying space at the mall; (iii) vacancies within the mall; (iv) increased competition in areas where the malls are located; (v) the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the malls; and (vi) a shift toward online shopping. A decline in consumer traffic could have a negative effect on our comparable store sales.
We may not be able to maintain the levels of comparable store sales that we have experienced historically. In addition, we may not be able to maintain our historic average sales per square foot as we move into new markets. If our future comparable store sales or average sales per square foot decline or fail to meet market expectations, the price of our ordinary shares could decline. In addition, the aggregate results of operations ofand financial condition.

We operate on a global basis, with approximately 48% of our total revenue from operations outside of the U.S. during Fiscal 2020. As a result, we are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including:
political or civil unrest, including protests and other civil disruption;
unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, including the recent global outbreak of COVID-19;

In addition, on June 23, 2016, voters in the timingUnited Kingdom (“U.K.”) approved an advisory referendum to withdraw from the European Union ("EU"), commonly referred to as “Brexit”. On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the releaseLisbon Treaty formally starting negotiations with the EU. The U.K. formally left the EU on January 31, 2020. There is an agreement in principle to transitional provisions under which EU law would remain in force in the U.K. until the end of December 2020, but this remains subject to the successful conclusion of a final withdrawal agreement between the parties. Although the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the EU are still unknown, it is possible that there will be increased regulatory and legal complexities, including potentially divergent national laws and regulations between the U.K. and EU. Brexit may also cause disruption and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationship with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees and resulting in increased cost by way of new merchandise and promotional events, changes inor elevated customs duties or financial implications from operational challenges.
Finally, if our merchandise mix, the success of marketing programs and weather conditions. If we misjudge the market for our products, we may incur excess inventory for some of our products and miss opportunities for other products. These factors may cause our comparable store sales results and average sales per square foot in the future to be materially lower than recent periods and our expectations, whichinternational expansion plans are unsuccessful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We sell our products at varying retail price points based on geographic location that yield different gross profit margins and we achieve different operating profit margins, depending on geographic region, due to a variety of factors including product mix, store size, occupancy costs, labor costs and retail pricing. Changes in any one or more of these factors could result in lower revenues, increased costs, and negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. There are also some countries where we do not yet have significant operating experience, and in most of these countries we face established competitors with significantly more operating experience in those locations. Furthermore, consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ in these countries and, as a declineresult, sales of our product may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate.
There can be no assurance that any or all of these events will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products, and the imposition of additional duties and any changes to international trade agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
There are risks inherent to importing our products. Virtually all of our imported products are subject to duties which may impact the cost of such products. In addition, countries to which we ship our products may impose safeguard quotas to limit the quantity of products that may be imported. We rely on free trade agreements and other supply chain initiatives in order to maximize efficiencies relating to product importation. Additionally, we are subject to government regulations relating to importation activities. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas and/or the withdrawal from or material modification to trade agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. On May 10, 2019, the U.S. increased the sanction tariffs rate from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of imports of select product categories (Tranche 3), which includes handbags and travel goods from China, and effective September 1, 2019, a 10% tariff on an additional $300 billion of goods from China, including ready-to-wear, footwear and men’s products, went into effect. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business.

Privacy breaches and other cyber security risks related to our business could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business.
We are dependent on information technology (“IT”) systems and networks for a significant portion of our direct-to-consumer sales, including our e-commerce sites and retail business credit card transaction authorization and processing. We are responsible for storing data relating to our customers and employees and also rely on third party vendors for the storage, processing and transmission of personal and Company information. Consumers, lawmakers and consumer advocates alike are increasingly concerned over the security of personal information transmitted over the Internet, consumer identity theft and privacy and the retail industry, in particular, has been the target of many recent cyber-attacks. In addition to taking the necessary precautions ourselves, we generally require that third-party service providers implement reasonable security measures to protect our employees’ and customers’ identity and privacy. We do not, however, control these third-party service providers and cannot guarantee the elimination of electronic or physical computer break-ins or security breaches in the pricefuture. Cyber security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, security breaches due to employee error or misconduct, attacks by “hackers,” phishing scams, malicious software programs such as viruses and malware, and other breaches outside of our ordinary shares.control, could result in unauthorized access or damage to our IT systems and the IT systems of our third party service providers. Despite our efforts and the efforts of our third-party service providers to secure our and their IT systems, attacks on these systems do occur from time to time. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to IT systems become more varied and sophisticated (including in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as cybercriminals are finding new ways to launch their attacks) and if the occurrence of such security breaches becomes more frequent, we and our third-party service providers may be unable to adequately anticipate these techniques and implement appropriate preventative measures. While we maintain cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for certain risks associated with cyber security incidents, there is no assurance that such insurance would cover all or a significant portion of the costs or consequences associated with a cyber security incident. A significant breach of customer, employee or Company data could damage our reputation, our relationship with customers and our brands, and could result in lost sales, sizable fines, significant breach-notification and other costs and lawsuits, as well as adversely affect our results of operations. We may also incur additional costs in the future related to the implementation of additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security and privacy threats, or to comply with current and new state, federal and international laws governing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information which are continuously being enacted and proposed such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act in California in the United States as well as increased cyber security protection costs such as organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, engaging third party experts and consultants and lost revenues resulting from unauthorized use of proprietary information.
A material delay or disruption in our information technology systems or e-commerce websites or our failure or inability to upgrade our information technology systems precisely and efficiently could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely extensively on our IT systems to track inventory, manage our supply chain, record and process transactions, manage customer communications, summarize results and manage our business. The failure of our IT systems to operate properly or effectively, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or difficulty in or failure to implement new systems, could adversely affect our business. We also operate a number of e-commerce websites throughout the world. Our IT systems and e-commerce websites may be subject to damage and/or interruption from power outages, computer, network and telecommunications failures, malicious software such as viruses and malware, attacks by “hackers”, security breaches, usage errors or misconduct by our employees and bad acts by our customers and website visitors which could materially adversely affect our business.
In early Fiscal 2020, we embarked on a multi-year ERP implementation, but as a result of COVID-19 and our need to significantly reduce our capital expenditures in order to protect our liquidity and cash flows, we temporarily suspended our ERP project. Our inability to resume with our ERP implementation and to upgrade our IT systems could result in system failures, disruptions, damage or malfunctions, cause critical information upon which we rely to be delayed, defective, corrupted, inadequate, inaccessible or lost and otherwise cause delays or disruptions to our operations. If any of these events happen, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace impacted systems. Our failure or inability to upgrade IT systems effectively also could cause us to be unable to compete effectively, could harm our reputation and credibility, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand,brands, business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
The accessories, footwear and apparel industries have historically been subject to rapidly changing fashion trends and consumer preferences. We believe that our success is largely dependent on the images of our brand imagebrands and ability to anticipate and respond promptly to changing consumer demands and fashion trends in the design, styling, production, merchandising and pricing of products. If we do not correctly gauge consumer needs and fashion trends and respond appropriately, consumers may not purchase our products and our brand namenames and brand imagethe images of our brands may be impaired. Even if we react appropriately to changes in fashion trends and consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brand imagebrands to be outdated or associate our brandbrands with styles that are no longer popular or trend-setting. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our brand,brands, our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
The success of our business also depends on our ability to continue to develop and maintain a reliable digital experience for our customers. We strive to give our customers a jet-set shoppingseamless omni-channel experience both in stores and through digital technologies, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other devices. We also use social media to interact with our customers and enhance their shopping experience. Our inability to develop and continuously improve our digital footprintbrand engagement could negatively affect our ability to compete with other brands, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits, cost savings and synergies.
We face additional risks associated with our strategy to expand internationally through the acquisition of our geographic licensees. On January 1, 2016, we transitioned the previously licensed business in South Korea to a wholly owned operation and on May 31, 2016, we acquired our licensees in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. We may not be able to successfully integrate the business of any licensee that we acquire into our own business or achieve any expected cost savings or synergies from such integration. The potential difficulties that we may face that could cause the results of the acquisition to not be in line with our expectations, include, among others:
failure to implement our business plan for the combined business;
delays or difficulties in completing the integration of acquired companies or assets;
higher than expected costs, lower than expected cost savings and/or a need to allocate resources to manage unexpected operating difficulties;
unanticipated issues in integrating logistics, information and other systems;
unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;

retaining key employees;
operating risks inherent in the acquired business and our business;
diversion of the attention and resources of management;
assumption of liabilities not identified in due diligence or other unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities; and
the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Our acquisitions may not perform as well as initially expected which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, on June 28, 2015, we obtained a controlling interest in our joint venture in Latin America (MK Panama) causing us to consolidate this joint venture into our operations beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. As a result of our controlling interest in MK Panama, we will incur additional charges which could negatively affect our operating results or financial condition, and we may not realize a satisfactory return on our investment. Our joint venture also exposes us to risks to the extent that our joint venture partner may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; take actions contrary to our policies or objectives; experience financial or other difficulties; or be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the joint venture agreement, any of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are dependent on a limited number of distribution facilities. If one or more of our distribution facilities experiences operational difficulties or becomes inoperable, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
We operate a limited number of distribution facilities. Our ability to meet the needs of our wholesale customers and our own retail stores and e-commerce sites, as well as our wholesale customers, depends on the proper and uninterrupted operation of these distribution facilities. If any of these distribution facilities were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason (including as a result of a government mandate or order due to COVID-19), we could suffer a substantial loss of inventory and/or disruptions of deliveries to our retail and wholesale customers. In addition, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products during the time it takes to reopen or replace the damaged facility. Any of the foregoing factors could result in decreased sales and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
In addition, we have been moving into new and larger facilities as needed to increase our capacity as we grow, and have been concurrently implementing new warehouse management systems to further support our efforts to operate with increased efficiency and flexibility. There are risks inherent in operating in new distribution environments and implementing new warehouse management systems, including technological and operational difficulties that may arise with such transitions. We may experience shipping delays should there be any disruptions in our new warehouse management systems or warehouses themselves.
AThe departure of members of our executive management and other key employees or our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material disruptionadverse effect on our business.
We depend on the services and management experience of executive officers, who have substantial experience and expertise in our information technology systemsbusiness. We also depend on other key employees involved in our design and marketing operations, including our creative officers for each of our brands, Ms. Donatella Versace, Ms. Sandra Choi and Mr. Michael Kors. Competition for qualified personnel in the fashion industry is intense, and competitors may use aggressive tactics to recruit our executive officers and key employees. Our ability to attract and retain employees is influenced by our ability to offer competitive compensation and benefits, employee morale, our reputation, recruitment by other employers, perceived internal opportunities, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and macro unemployment rates. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers and other key employees, we may not be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future. The loss of services of one or more of these individuals or any negative public perception with respect to, or relating to, the loss of one or more of these individuals, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditioncondition. In addition, our operational efficiency initiatives as well as acquisitions and related integration activity may intensify this risk.

We must also attract, develop, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified retail and distribution center personnel. Historically, competition for talent has been intense and the turnover rate in the retail industry is generally high. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of qualified employees in future periods to execute on our business objectives. Additionally, our ability to meet our labor needs while also controlling costs is subject to external factors such as unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation, and overtime regulations. If we are unable to attract, develop, motivate and retain talented employees with the necessary skills and experience, or if changes to our organizational structure, operating results, or business model, including as a result of COVID-19, adversely affect morale, hiring and/or retention, we may not achieve our objectives and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Our share price may periodically fluctuate based on the accuracy of our earnings guidance or other forward-looking statements regarding our financial performance.
Our business and long-range planning process is designed to maximize our long-term growth and profitability and not to achieve an earnings target in any particular fiscal quarter. We believe that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. At the same time, however, we recognize that it is helpful to provide investors with guidance as to our forecast of total revenue, earnings per share, comparable store sales and other financial metrics or projections. Historically, we have provided updates to our financial guidance when we report our results each fiscal quarter, but we do not have any responsibility to update any of our forward-looking statements at such times or otherwise. The dynamic nature of COVID-19 on our business makes it difficult for us to accurately project the potential impact on our business and therefore we may not provide quarterly or year-end guidance for the foreseeable future. In addition, any longer-term guidance that we provide is based on goals that we believe, at the time guidance is given, are reasonably attainable for growth and performance over a number of years. However, such long-range targets are more difficult to predict than our current quarter and fiscal year expectations. If, or when, we announce actual results that differ from those that have been predicted by us, outside investment analysts, or others, our share price could be adversely affected. Investors who rely on these predictions when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in our share price.
We periodically return value to shareholders through our share repurchase program. Investors may have an expectation that we will repurchase all shares available under our share repurchase program. As a result of COVID-19, we suspended our share repurchase program. The market price of our securities could be adversely affected if our share repurchase activity differs from investors’ expectations or if our share repurchase program were to terminate.
Fluctuations in our tax obligations and changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our future effective tax rates and results of operations.
Our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions, with the applicable tax rates varying by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate is affected by the proportion of earnings from the various tax jurisdictions. We rely extensivelyrecord tax expense based on our information technology (“IT”) systems to track inventory, manage our supply chain, recordestimates of taxable income and process transactions, manage customer communications, summarize results and manage our business. The failure of our IT systems to operate properly or effectively, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or difficultyrequired reserves for uncertain tax positions in integrating new systems, could adversely affect our business. In addition, we have e-commerce websites in the United States and Canada, and plans for additional e-commerce sites internationally. Our IT systems and websites may bemultiple tax jurisdictions. At any time, there are multiple tax years that are subject to damage and/examinations by various taxing authorities.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and operating results.Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act included significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including, among other things, lowering the U.S. statutory federal tax rate to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system. The Tax Act also added many new provisions, including changes to bonus depreciation, limits on the deductions for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income, the base erosion anti-abuse tax and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income.

On March 26, 2015, the U.K. enacted new Diverted Profits Tax legislation (the “DPT”), which was effective on April 1, 2015. Under the DPT, profits of certain multinational enterprises (such as the Company) deemed to have been artificially diverted from the U.K. will be taxed at a rate of 25%. While the Company believes that all of its affiliated entities and the transactions among them have the required economic substance, there is no assurance that this legislation will not have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
Privacy breaches and other cyber security risks related to our business could negatively affect our reputation, credibility and business.

We and our subsidiaries are dependent on information technology systemsalso engaged in a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s-length terms and networks for a significant portion of our direct-to-consumer sales, including our e-commerce sitethat proper transfer pricing documentation is in place, the transfer prices and retail business credit card transaction authorization and processing. We are responsible for storing data relating to our customers and employees and also rely on third party vendors for the storage, processing and transmission of personal and Company information. Consumers, lawmakers and consumer advocates alike are increasingly concerned over the security of personal information transmitted over the internet, consumer identity theft and privacy. In addition to taking the necessary precautions ourselves, we require that third-party service providers implement reasonable security measures to protect our employees’ and customers’ identity and privacy. We do not, however, control these third-party service providers and cannot guarantee that no electronic or physical computer break-ins and security breaches will occur in the future. Likewise, our systems and technology are subject to the risk of system failures, viruses, “hackers” and other causes that are out of our control. A significant breach of customer, employee or Company data could damage the Company’s reputation, its relationship with customers and the Michael Kors brand, andconditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities, which could result in lost sales, sizable fines, significant breach-notification costsadditional tax liabilities. On October 5, 2015, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and lawsuits, as well asDevelopment, an international association of thirty four countries, including the U.S. and U.K., released the final reports from its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plans. The BEPS recommendations covered a number of issues, including country-by-country reporting, permanent establishment rules, transfer pricing rules and tax treaties. Future tax reform resulting from this development may result in changes to long-standing tax principles, which could adversely affect results of operations. The Company may also incur additional costsour effective tax rate or result in the future related to the implementation of additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security and privacy threats, or to comply with state, federal and international laws that may be enacted to address those threats.higher cash tax liabilities.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Our results of operations for our international subsidiaries are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of the applicable subsidiaries are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars during financial statement consolidation. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could impact our consolidated results of operations. In addition, we have intercompany notes amongst certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, which may be denominated in a currency other than the local currency of a particular reporting entity. As a result of using a currency other than the functional currency of the related subsidiary, results of these operations may be adversely affected during times of significant fluctuation between the functional currency of that subsidiary and the denomination currency of the note. We continuously monitor our foreign currency exposure and hedge a portion of our foreign subsidiaries’ foreign currency-denominated inventory purchases to minimize the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, we cannot fully anticipate all of our foreign currency exposures and cannot ensure that these hedges will fully offset the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
As a result of operating retail stores and concessions in various countries outside of the U.S., we are also exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Japanese Yen, the Korean Won and the Canadian Dollar.Dollar, among others. A substantial weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar could require us to raise our retail prices or reduce our profit margins in various locations outside of the U.S. In addition, our sales and profitability could be negatively impacted if consumers in those markets were unwilling to purchase our products at increased prices.
We face risks associated with operating in international markets and our strategy to continue to expand internationally.
We operate on a global basis, with approximately 29.9% of our total revenue from operations outside of the U.S. during Fiscal 2016. As a result, we are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including political and economic instability in foreign countries, laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments, potential negative consequences from changes in taxation policies, political or civil unrest, acts of terrorism, military actions or other conditions. Economic instability and unsettled regional and global conflicts may negatively affect consumer spending by foreign tourists and local consumers in the various regions where we operate, which could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. We also sell our products at varying retail price points based on geographic location that yield different gross profit margins, and we achieve different operating profit margins, depending on geographic region, due to a variety of factors including product mix, store size, occupancy costs, labor costs and retail pricing. Changes in any one or more of these factors could result in lower revenues, increased costs, and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
There are some countries where we do not yet have significant operating experience, and in most of these countries we face established competitors with significantly more operating experience in those locations. Many countries have different operational characteristics, including, but not limited to, employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate (including lease terms) and local reporting or legal requirements. Furthermore, consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ in these countries and, as a result, sales of our product may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate. In addition, in many of these countries there is significant competition to attract and retain experienced and talented employees. If our international expansion plans are unsuccessful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The departure of our founder, members of our executive management and other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on the services and management experience of our founder and executive officers, who have substantial experience and expertise in our business. In particular, Mr. Kors, our Honorary Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, has provided design and executive leadership to the Company since its inception. He is instrumental to our marketing and publicity strategy and is closely identified with both the brand that bears his name and our Company in general. Our ability to maintain our brand image and leverage the goodwill associated with Mr. Kors’ name may be damaged if we were to lose his services. Mr. Kors has the right to terminate his employment with us without cause. In addition, the leadership of John D. Idol, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Joseph B. Parsons, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, has been a critical element of our success. We also depend on other key employees involved in our licensing, design and advertising operations. Competition for qualified personnel in the apparel industry is intense, and competitors may use aggressive tactics to recruit our executive officers and key employees. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Kors and certain of our other executive officers, including Mr. Idol and Mr. Parsons, we may not be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future. The loss of services of one or more of these individuals or any negative public perception with respect to, or relating to, the loss of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
The growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategies, including our efforts to open and operate new retail stores, and to increase the number of department stores and specialty stores that sell our products.
As part of our growth strategy, we intend to open and operate new retail stores and shop-in-shops within select department stores, both domestically and internationally. Our ability to successfully open and operate new retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops depends on many factors, including, among others, our ability to:
identify new markets where our products and brand image will be accepted or the performance of our retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops will be considered successful;
negotiate acceptable lease terms, including desired tenant improvement allowances, to secure suitable store locations;
hire, train and retain personnel and field management;
assimilate new personnel and field management into our corporate culture;
source sufficient inventory levels; and
successfully integrate new retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops into our existing operations and information technology systems.
We will encounter pre-opening costs and we may encounter initial losses when new retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops commence operations. Certain of our European stores require investments in the form of key money to secure prime locations, which may be paid to landlords or existing lessees. While we expect to open a number of additional retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops in the future, there can be no assurance that we will open the planned number, that we will recover the expenditure costs associated with opening these new retail stores, including concessions, and shop-in-shops or that the operation of these new venues will be successful or profitable. Any changes from our initial expectations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are subject to risks associated with leasing retail space under long-term, non-cancelable leases and are required to make substantial lease payments under our operating leases. Any failure to make these lease payments when due could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
We do not own any of our store facilities; instead, we lease all of our stores under operating leases. Our leases generally have terms of up to 10 years. Our leases generally require a fixed annual rent and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Certain of our European stores also require initial investments in the form of key money to secure prime locations, which may be paid to landlords or existing lessees. Generally, our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay all of the costs of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases at our option. Payments under these operating leases account for a significant portion of our operating costs. For example, as of April 2, 2016, we were party to operating leases associated with our stores as well as other corporate facilities requiring future minimum lease payments aggregating to $1.079 billion through Fiscal 2021 and approximately $746.7 million thereafter through Fiscal 2033. We expect that any new stores we open under operating leases will have terms similar to those contained in leases we have entered previously, which will further increase our operating lease expenses.

Our substantial operating lease obligations could have significant negative consequences, including, among others:
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;
requiring a substantial portion of our available cash to pay our rental obligations, thus reducing cash available for other purposes;
limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business or the industry in which we compete; and
placing us at a disadvantage with respect to some of our competitors.
We depend on cash flow from operations to pay our lease expenses and to fulfill our other cash needs. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities, and sufficient funds are not otherwise available to us, we may not be able to service our operating lease expenses, grow our business, respond to competitive challenges or fund our other liquidity and capital needs.
Our current and future licensing and joint venture arrangements may not be successful and may make us susceptible to the actions of third parties over whom we have limited control.
We have entered into a select number of product licensing agreements with companies that produce and sell, under our trademarks, products requiring specialized expertise. We have also entered into a number of select licensing agreements pursuant to which we have granted third parties certain rights to distribute and sell our products in certain geographical areas such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Brazil, certain parts of Asia and Australia. In addition, we have a number of joint venture that covers the distribution and sale of products and the operation of retail stores in Latin America and the Caribbean (excluding Brazil).ventures. In the future, we may enter into additional licensing and/or joint venture arrangements. Although we take steps to carefully select our licensing partners, such arrangements may not be successful. Our licensing partners may fail to fulfill their obligations under their license agreements or have interests that differ from or conflict with our own, such as the timing of new store openings, the pricing of our products and the offering of competitive products. In addition, the risks applicable to the business of our licensing partners may be different than the risks applicable to our business, including risks associated with each such partner’s ability to:
obtain capital;
exercise operational and financial control over its business;
manage its labor relations;
maintain relationships with suppliers;
manage its credit and bankruptcy risks;risks which may be exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19; and
maintain customer relationships.
Any of the foregoing risks, or the inability of any of our licensing partners to successfully market our products or otherwise conduct its business, may result in loss of revenue and competitive harm to our operations in regions or product categories where we have entered into such licensing arrangements.

We rely on our licensing partners to preserve the value of our brands. Although we attempt to protect our brands through, among other things, approval rights over store location and design, product design, production quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion of our stores and products, we may not be able to control the use by our licensing partners of our brand. The misuse of our brand by a licensing or joint venture partner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.
A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of large wholesale customers, and the loss of any of these wholesale customers could substantially reduce our total revenue.
A small number of our wholesale customers account for a significant portion of our net sales. Net sales to our five largest wholesale customers represented 25.8% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2016 and 26.3% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2015. Our largest wholesale customer, Macy's, accounted for 12.7% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2016 and 13.7% of our total revenue for Fiscal 2015. We do not have written agreements with any of our wholesale customers, and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis. A decision by any of our major wholesale customers, whether motivated by marketing strategy, competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to decrease significantly the amount of merchandise purchased from us or our licensing partners, or to change their manner of doing business with us or our licensing partners, could substantially reduce our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our profitability. During the past several years, the retail industry has experienced

a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes, and we expect such changes will continue. In addition, store closings by our wholesale customers decrease the number of stores carrying our products, while the remaining stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and/or may reduce the retail floor space designated for our brands. In the future, retailers may further consolidate, undergo restructurings or reorganizations, realign their affiliations or reposition their stores’ target markets. Any of these types of actions could decrease the number of stores that carry our products or increase the ownership concentration within the retail industry. These changes could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of large wholesale customers and decrease our negotiating strength with our wholesale customers. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.condition.
Increases in the cost of raw materials could increase our production costs and cause our operating results and financial condition to suffer.
Our business is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. The costs of raw materials used in our products are affected by, among other things, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. We are not always successful in our efforts to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of raw materials and our business can be materially affected by dramatic movements in prices of raw materials. The ultimate effect of this change on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in raw materials prices on industry selling prices are uncertain, but any significant increase in these prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditioncondition. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms and operating results.increased manufacturing labor costs which are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. Increases in commodity prices, tariffs and manufacturing labor costs could increase our production costs and negatively impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.
We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods, which poses legal, regulatory, political and economic risks to our business operations.
Our products are primarily produced by, and purchased or procured from, independent manufacturing contractors located mainly in Asia and Europe. A manufacturing contractor’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those items. The failure to make timely deliveries may cause customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any of the following factors could negatively affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditioncondition:
disease pandemics, epidemics and operating results:health-related concerns, including related to COVID-19, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;

political or labor instability, labor shortages (stemming from labor disputes or otherwise), or increases in costs of labor or production in countries where manufacturing contractors and suppliers are located;
significant delays or disruptions in delivery of our products due to labor disputes or strikes at the location of the source of our goods and/or at ports of entry;
political or military conflict, involving the United States, which could cause a delay in the transportation of our products and raw materials and increase transportation costs;
heightened terrorism security concerns, which could subject imported or exported goods to additional, more frequent or more thorough inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundment of goods for extended periods of time or could result in increased scrutiny by customs officials for counterfeit goods, leading to lost sales, increased costs for our anti-counterfeiting measures and damage to the reputation of our brands;
a significant decrease in availability or an increase in the cost of raw materials;
disease epidemics and health-related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;
the migration and development of manufacturing contractors, which could affect where our products are or are planned to be produced;
imposition of regulations, quotas and safeguards relating to imports and our ability to adjust in a timely manner to changes in trade regulations, which, among other things, could limit our ability to produce products in cost-effective countries that have the labor and expertise needed;
increases in the costs of fuel, travel and transportation;
imposition of duties, taxes and other charges on imports;imports, including if the United States follows through on its proposed additional China tariffs;
significant fluctuation of the value of the United States dollarU.S. Dollar against foreign currencies; and

restrictions on transfers of funds out of countries where our foreign licensees are located.

We do not have written agreements with any of our third-party manufacturing contractors. As a result, any single manufacturing contractor could unilaterally terminate its relationship with us at any time. InFor example, in Fiscal 2016, our2020, Michael Kors’ largest manufacturing contractor, who primarily produces its products in ChinaAsia and who we haveMichael Kors has worked with for over ten years, accounted for the production of 26.7%20% of ourits finished products.products, based on dollar volume. Our inability to promptly replace manufacturing contractors that terminate their relationships with us or cease to provide high quality products in a timely and cost-efficient manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and operating results, and impact the cost and availability of our goods.
In addition, we useMichael Kors uses third-party agents to source ourits finished goods with numerous manufacturing contractors on ourits behalf. Any single agent could unilaterally terminate its relationship with usMichael Kors at any time. In Fiscal 2016, our2020, Michael Kors’ largest third-party agent, whose primary place of business is Hong Kong and who we haveMichael Kors has worked with for over 10 years, sourced approximately 14.9%26% of ourits purchases of finished goods.goods, based on unit volume. Our inability to promptly replace agents that terminate their relationships with us or cease to provide high quality service in a timely and cost-efficient manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.condition.
If we fail to comply with labor laws or collective bargaining agreements, or if our manufacturing contractors fail to use acceptable, ethical business practices, our business and reputation could suffer.
We are subject to labor laws governing relationships with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions and citizenship requirements. Versace and Jimmy Choo are also subject to collective bargaining agreements with respect to employees in certain European countries. Compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as collective bargaining agreements may lead to increased costs and operational complexity and may increase our exposure to governmental investigations or litigation.
In addition, weWe require our manufacturing contractors to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance. Additionally, we impose upon our business partners operating guidelines that require additional obligations in those three areas in order to promote ethical business practices, and our staff and third parties we retain for such purposes periodically visit and monitor the operations of our manufacturing contractors to determine compliance. However, we generally do not control our manufacturing contractors or their labor and other business practices. If one of our manufacturing contractors violates applicable labor or other laws, rules or regulations or implements labor or other business practices that are generally regarded as unethical, in the United States, the shipment of finished products to us could be interrupted, orders could be cancelled, relationships could be terminated and our reputation could be damaged. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and operating results.
Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products.
There are risks inherent to importing our products. Virtually all of our merchandise imported into the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia is subject to duties and most of the countries to which we ship could impose safeguard quotas to protect their local industries from import surges that threaten to create market disruption. The United States and other countries may also unilaterally impose additional duties in response to a particular product being imported at unfairly traded prices that, in such increased quantities, cause or threaten injury to the relevant domestic industry (generally known as “anti-dumping” actions). If dumping is suspected in the United States, the United States government may self-initiate a dumping case on behalf of a particular industry. Furthermore, additional duties, generally known as countervailing duties, can also be imposed by the United States government to offset subsidies provided by a foreign government to foreign manufacturers if the importation of such subsidized merchandise injures or threatens to injure a United States industry. In addition, accessories, footwear and apparel sold by us are also subject to import regulations in the United States and other countries concerning the use of wildlife products for commercial and non-commercial trade, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“F&W”). F&W requires that we obtain a license to import animal and fauna that are subject to regulation by F&W and can revoke (or refuse to renew) this license, seize and possibly destroy our shipments and/or fine the Company for F&W violations. The imposition of duties and quotas, the initiation of an anti-dumping action and/or the repercussions of F&W violations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.condition.
We may be unable to protect our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, and others may allege that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights.
Our trademarks, includingVERSACE, JIMMY CHOO and MICHAEL KORS trademarks, as well as other material trademarks, copyrights and MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS, logosdesign and other intellectual propertypatent rights related to the production, marketing and distribution of our products, are important to our success and our competitive position. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Far EastEMEA, Asia and elsewhere in the world in both online and offline channels. Our brand enjoysbrands enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and the generally higher pricing of our products creates additional incentive for counterfeiters to infringe on our brand.brands. We work with customs authorities, law enforcement, legal representatives and brand specialists globally in an effort to prevent the sale of counterfeit Michael Kors products, but we cannot guarantee the extent to which our efforts to prevent counterfeiting of our brandbrands and other intellectual property infringement will be successful. Such counterfeiting and other intellectual property infringement could dilute our brandbrands and otherwise harm our reputation and business.

Our trademark and other intellectual property applications may fail to result in registered trademarks or other intellectual property or to provide the scope of coverage sought, and others may seek to invalidate our trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property or block sales of our products as aan alleged violation of their trademarks andand/or intellectual property rights. In addition, others may assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks, andcopyrights and/or other intellectual property rights of ours or in trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property that are similar to ours or trademarks that we license, and/or market, and we may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, trademarkother intellectual property owners may have prior rights to our trademarks or similar trademarks.trademarks or intellectual property. Furthermore, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect trademarks, andcopyrights and/or other intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.States or the European Union.

Table of Contents
From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in opposition and cancellation proceedings with respect to trademarks or other intellectual property similar to some of our brands. Any litigation or dispute involving the scope or enforceability of our intellectual property rights or any allegation that we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others could be costly and time-consuming and, could result, if determined adversely to us, could result in harm to our competitive position.
Fluctuations in our tax obligations and changes in tax laws and regulations may have a material impact on our future effective tax rates and results of operations.
Our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, with the applicable tax rates varying by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate is effected by the proportion of earnings from the various tax jurisdictions. We record tax expense based on our estimates of taxable income and required reserves for uncertain tax positions in multiple tax jurisdictions. At any time, there are multiple tax years that are subject to examinations by various taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may result in a settlement amount that differs from our original estimate. In addition, any proposed or future changes in tax laws and regulations or interpretations could have a material effect on our effective tax rates, financial condition, and results of operations.
On March 26, 2015, the United Kingdom enacted new Diverted Profits Tax legislation (the “DPT”), which is effective on April 1, 2015. Under the DPT, profits of certain multinational enterprises (such as the Company) deemed to have been artificially diverted from the United Kingdom will be taxed at a rate of 25%. While the Company believes that all of its affiliated entities and the transactions among them have the required economic substance, there is no assurance that this legislation will not have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
We and our subsidiaries are also engaged in a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s length terms and that proper transfer pricing documentation is in place, which should be respected for tax purposes, the transfer prices and conditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities, which could result in additional tax liabilities. On October 5, 2015, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international association of thirty four countries, including the U.S. and UK, released the final reports from its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plans. The BEPS recommendations covered a number of issues, including country-by-country reporting, permanent establishment rules, transfer pricing rules and tax treaties. Future tax reform resulting from this development may result in changes to long-standing tax principles, which could adversely affect our effective tax rate or result in higher cash tax liabilities.
Restrictive covenants in our credit agreement may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.
We have a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2015 Credit Facility”) under which Michael Kors Holdings Limited and its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries Michael Kors (USA), Inc. (“MKUSA”), Michael Kors (Europe) B.V., Michael Kors (Canada) Holdings Ltd. and Michael Kors (Switzerland) GmbH, are borrowers, and the borrowers and certain material subsidiaries provide unsecured guarantees. The credit agreement governing the terms of the 2015 Credit Facility restricts, among other things, asset dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, dividends, share repurchases and redemptions, other restricted payments, indebtedness, loans and investments, liens and affiliate transactions. The 2015 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2015 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and changes of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2015 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including, but not limited to, terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility. In addition, our credit agreement contains a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.5 to 1.0 (with the ratio being total consolidated indebtedness plus 6.0 times the consolidated rent expense for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters, to Consolidated EBITDAR for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters). See credit discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity”. The covenants in the 2015 Credit Facility, among other things, may limit our ability to fund our future working capital needs and capital expenditures, engage in future acquisitions or development activities, or otherwise realize the value of our assets and opportunities fully because of the need to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on debt.

Failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and cause a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.
As a public company we are required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could have an adverse effect on our business and cause a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.
Our share priceWe are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims in the ordinary course of business which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are a global company and are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims throughout the world in the ordinary course of business. These claims could include commercial, intellectual property, employment, customer, and data privacy claims, as well as class action lawsuits. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may periodically fluctuate based on the accuracy of our earnings guidanceface an increase in claims against us including by landlords or other forward-looking statements regardingcommercial counterparties, employees and customers. Typically, these claims raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Plaintiffs may seek unspecified damages and/or injunctive or other equitable relief. Our potential liability may be covered in part by our insurance policies, but we may not always have adequate insurance to defend all claims. An unfavorable outcome in any proceeding, lawsuit, dispute or claim may have an adverse impact on our business, financial performance.condition and results of operations.
Our business is susceptible to the risks associated with climate change and long-range planning process is designedother environmental impacts which could negatively affect our business and operations.
Our retail stores, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities, including those operated by third-parties, are subject to maximizerisks relating to climate change and other environmental impacts from our long-term growthoperations. For example, the physical effects of climate change, such as severe weather events and/or significant changes in climate patterns as well as our carbon emissions and profitability,our business’ overall impact on the environment could subject us to reputational, market and/or regulatory risks. Climate change and notother environmental concerns may cause social and economic disruptions in the places where we operate, including disruptions to our supply chain and to local infrastructure and transportation systems which could limit material availability and quality, impact our ability to ship and deliver product and prevent access to our physical locations. These events could also adversely affect the economy and negatively impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending. In April 2020, we announced a global strategy to achieve an earnings targetsignificant, measurable goals across a range of important environmental and social sustainability issues, including, material sourcing, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and converting to renewal energy, responsible water use, and waste reduction. We may not be successful in any particular fiscal quarter. We believeattaining our goals, and even if we meet our commitments, there remains a significant risk that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. At the same time, however, we recognize that it is helpful to provide investors with guidance as to our forecast of net sales, earnings per share, comparable store salesclimate change and other financial metrics or projections. While we generally expect to provide updates toenvironmental events could negatively impact our financial guidance when we report our results each fiscal quarter, we do not have any responsibility to update any of our forward-looking statements at such times or otherwise. In addition, any longer-term guidance that we provide is based on goals that we believe, at the time guidance is given, are reasonably attainable for growth and performance over a number of years. However, such long-range targets are more difficult to predict than our current quarter and fiscal year expectations. If, or when, we announce actual results that differ from those that have been predicted by us, outside investment analysts, or others, our share price could be adversely affected. Investors who rely on these predictions when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in our share price.
We periodically return value to shareholders through our share repurchase program. Investors may have an expectation that we will repurchase all shares available under our share repurchase program. The market price of our securities could be adversely affected if our share repurchase activity differs from investors’ expectations or if our share repurchase program were to terminate.operations.
Provisions in our organizational documents may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association (together, as amended from time to time, our “Memorandum and Articles”) containscontain several provisions that may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our board of directors. These provisions also may delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer, proxy contest or other transaction that might otherwise result in our shareholders receiving a premium over the market price for their ordinary shares. These provisions include, among others:
our board of directors’ ability to amend the Memorandum and Articles to create and issue, from time to time, one or more classes of preference shares and, with respect to each such class, to fix the terms thereof by resolution;
provisions relating to the multiple classes and three-year terms of directors, the manner of election of directors, removal of directors and the appointment of directors upon an increase in the number of directors or vacancy on our board of directors;
restrictions on the ability of shareholders to call meetings and bring proposals before meetings;
28

Table of Contents
elimination of the ability of shareholders to act by written consent; and
the requirement of the affirmative vote of 75% of the shares entitled to vote to amend certain provisions of our Memorandum and Articles.
These provisions of our Memorandum and Articles could discourage potential takeover attempts and reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for our ordinary shares in the future, which could reduce the market price of our ordinary shares.

Rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under United States law, and, accordingly, our shareholders may have fewer protections.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended, the “BVI Act”) and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands and by the BVI Act. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.
The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide limited protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have limited or no recourse if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.
Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is limited statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Act dealing with shareholder remedies (as summarized under Item 10. — “Additional Information — Memorandum and Articles of Association”).remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents of a British Virgin Islands company and are entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted in accordance with the BVI Act and the memorandum and articles of association of the company. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of the BVI Act or the provisions of the company’s memorandum and articles of association, then the courts will likely grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following: (i) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (ii) acts that constitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (iii) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote; and (iv) acts where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a special or extraordinary majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights afforded to minority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.
It may be difficult to enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in jurisdictions outside the United States.
Under our Memorandum and Articles, we may indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Furthermore, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees and any current or former shareholder will be governed exclusively by the laws of the British Virgin Islands and subject to the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands courts, unless those rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such. Although there is doubt as to whether United StatesStates' courts would enforce these provisions in an action brought in the United States under United States securities laws, these provisions could make judgments obtained outside of the British Virgin Islands more difficult to enforce against our assets in the British Virgin Islands or jurisdictions that would apply British Virgin Islands law.

Table of Contents
British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of one avenue to protect their interests.
British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin IslandsIslands' company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of United States securities law or to impose liabilities, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of the United States securities laws that are penal in nature. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce the non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. This means that even if shareholders were to sue us successfully, they may not be able to recover anything to make up for the losses suffered.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
COVID-19 Pandemic. A novel strain of coronavirus commonly referred to as COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the globe in recent months, including throughout all major geographies in which we operate (the Americas, EMEA and Asia), resulting in adverse economic conditions and business disruptions, as well as significant volatility in global financial markets. Governments worldwide have imposed varying degrees of preventative and protective actions, such as temporary travel bans, forced business closures, and stay-at-home orders, all in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus. Such factors, among others, have resulted in a significant decline in retail traffic, tourism, and consumer spending on discretionary items. Additionally, during this period of uncertainty, companies across a wide array of industries have implemented various initiatives to reduce operating expenses and preserve cash balances, including work furloughs and reduced pay, which could lower consumers’ disposable income levels or willingness to purchase discretionary items. Further, even after such government restrictions and company initiatives are lifted, consumer behavior, spending levels, and/or shopping preferences, such as their willingness to congregate in shopping centers or other populated locations, could be adversely affected.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced varying degrees of business disruptions and periods of closures of our stores, distribution centers, and corporate facilities, as have our wholesale customers, licensing partners, suppliers and vendors. Retail traffic also continues to be challenging in those regions in which our stores are open. Additionally, our stores in the Americas and in Europe closed mid-March, and although a significant number of stores have since reopened, a large number of stores remain closed. Our wholesale business has also been adversely affected, particularly in the Americas and Europe, as a result of department store closures and lower traffic and consumer demand.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken preemptive actions to preserve cash and strengthen our liquidity, including:
for Fiscal 2021, our board of directors annual total cash compensation will be reduced by 50%;
temporarily foregoing and reducing executive compensation for Fiscal 2021. In addition, the company reduced overall salaries at various levels throughout the organization by approximately 20%;
reducing our corporate workforce in order to generate additional payroll savings;
temporarily furloughing or reducing work hours for a significant portion of our employees who nevertheless remain eligible for employee benefits during such period;
applying for national payroll subsidy programs in various countries throughout Europe to further reduce payroll expense;
significantly reducing inventory purchases by reducing or canceling commitments, redeploying inventory and consolidating upcoming seasons;
37

extending payment terms of our payables with our partners in order to maintain our financial flexibility for the long term;
reducing capital expenditures in Fiscal 2021;
minimizing operating expenses, including decreasing marketing spend, delaying or canceling select new store openings, reducing external third-party services and halting non-critical systems implementations in order to reduce costs;
temporarily suspended our ERP project
suspending the remaining $400 million under our current share repurchase program; and
adding new approximately $230 million 364-day Revolver due June 2021 to bolster cash availability.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains highly volatile and continues to evolve on a daily basis. Accordingly, we cannot predict for how long and to what extent this crisis will impact our business operations or the global economy as a whole. We will continue to assess our operations location-by-location, taking into account the guidance of local governments and global health organizations to determine when our operations can begin returning to normal course of business. See Item 1A — "The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations" for additional discussion regarding risks to our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Establishing brand identity and enhancing global presence.We intend to continue to increase our international presence and global brand recognition by growing our existing international operations through acquisitions, the formation of various joint ventures with international partners and continuing with our international licensing arrangements. We feel this is an efficient method for continued penetration into the global luxury goods market, especially for markets where we have yet to establish a substantial presence. In addition, our growth strategy includes assuming direct control of certain licensed international operations which allows us to better manage our growth opportunities in the related regions. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, we made additional capital contributions to our Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A.
Channel Shift and subsidiaries (“MK Panama”), obtaining a 75% controlling interest in MK Panama. As such, we began to consolidate MK Panama into our operations beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 (see Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). In addition, on January 1, 2016, we assumed direct control over the previously licensed business in South Korea. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, we plan to further expand our global presence by acquiring certain of our currently licensed operations in the Greater China region (see Note 21 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Demand for Our Accessories and Related Merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. WhileAlthough the accessible luxury retail and wholesale industry has been recently challenged by lower consumer traffic trends, promotional selling environment resulting from a channel shift, a decrease in tourist travel, restrainedoverall consumer spending for personal luxury products has increased in recent years, consumer shopping preferences have continued to shift from physical stores to on-line shopping. We currently expect that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future. We continue to adjust our operating strategy to the changing business environment. We have finalized the planned store closures under the Michael Kors Retail Fleet Optimization Plan as of the end of Fiscal 2020. As of March 28, 2020, we closed at total of 143 stores at a total cost of $99 million and other factors,recorded restructuring charges of $5 million and $41 million in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing savings as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation associated with the impairment charges being recorded. In addition, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, we announced that we plan to close approximately 170 of our full-price retail stores over the next two years, in order to improve the profitability of our retail store fleet. Over this time period, we expect that our products will continue to be desired by our end-consumers.incur approximately $75 million of one-time costs associated with these store closures. See Item 9B - Other Information for additional information.
Currency fluctuation and the Strengthening U.S. Dollar.Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar,dollar, and those of our non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the U.S. Dollar. The recent decline in the value ofdollar, particularly the Euro, relative to the U.S. Dollar has impactedBritish Pound, the conversion ofChinese Renminbi, the results of our European operations, as they are reported, which represent approximately 21% of our consolidated revenue for Fiscal 2016. During Fiscal 2016,Japanese Yen, the Euro experienced a decline in value relative to U.S. Dollar of approximately 13%, as compared to Fiscal 2015. In addition, our Fiscal 2016 results have been negatively impacted by a decline of 13% inKorean Won and the Canadian Dollar, andamong others. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a declinenegative impact on the reported results of approximately 9%certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in Japanese Yen relativethe future, when translated to the U.S. Dollar, as compared to Fiscal 2015.Dollars.
Disruptions in shipping and distribution. Our operations are subject to the impact of shipping disruptions as a result of changes or damage to our distribution infrastructure, as well as due to external factors. Duringfactors, including the fourth quarterimpact of Fiscal 2015, our U.S. third party operated e-commerce fulfillment center was impacted by structural damage, which resulted in shipping delays to consumers who ordered merchandise through our e-commerce website. In addition, we were impacted by the work slowdowns and stoppages resulting from the labor dispute at the U.S. west coast ports during Fiscal 2015, which created a backlog of containers at the ports and resulted in inventory delivery delays, which continued into Fiscal 2016.COVID-19. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Costs of Manufacturing. and Tariffs. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. This volatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time. These fluctuationsIn addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. On May 10, 2019, the U.S. increased the sanction tariffs rate from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of imports of select product categories (Tranche 3), which includes handbags and travel goods from China, and effective September 1, 2019, a 10% tariff on an additional $300 billion of goods from China, including ready-to-wear, footwear and men’s products, went into effect. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business. In addition, commodity prices and tariffs may have a materialan impact on our sales,revenues, results of operations and cash flows to the extent they occur.flows. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible.possible and diversifying the countries where we produce. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.
Segment Information
We operate in three reportable segments, which are as follows:
Versace
We generate revenue through the sale of Versace luxury ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear and home furnishings through directly operated Versace boutiques throughout North America (United States and Canada), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia, as well as through Versace outlet stores and e-commerce sites. In addition, revenue is generated through wholesale sales to distribution partners (including geographic licensing arrangements), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide, as well as through product license agreements in connection with the manufacturing and sale of jeans, fragrances, watches, jewelry and eyewear.
Jimmy Choo
We generate revenue through the sale of Jimmy Choo luxury goods to end clients through directly operated Jimmy Choo stores throughout the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), EMEA and certain parts of Asia, through our e-commerce sites, as well as 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), multi-brand department stores and specialty stores worldwide. In addition, revenue is generated 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 fragrances, sunglasses and eyewear.
Michael Kors
We generate revenue through the sale of Michael Kors products through four primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce, through which we sell our products, as well as licensed products bearing our name, directly to the end consumer throughout the Americas, Europe and certain parts of Asia. Our Michael Kors e-commerce business includes e-commerce sites in the U.S., Canada and certain parts of Europe and Asia. We also sell Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, 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.

Unallocated 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, and information systems expenses, including ERP system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transaction and transition costs related to our recent acquisitions), impairment costs and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("(“U.S. GAAP"GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must makeuse certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, our critical accounting policies are discussed below and include revenue recognition, inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, derivatives and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when therecontrol of the promised goods or services is persuasive evidence oftransferred to our customers in an arrangement, delivery has occurred,amount that reflects the price has been fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. We recognize retail store revenue uponwhen control of the product is transferred at the point of sale ofat our products to retail consumers, net of estimated returns.owned stores, including concessions. Revenue from sales through our e-commerce sitesites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and title and riskcontrol of loss arethe underlying product is transferred to our wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for retail, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and current customer returns. The amounts reserved for retail sales returns were $4.7$12 million, $2.5$15 million and $2.3$12 million at April 2, 2016, March 28, 20152020, March 30, 2019 and March 29, 2014,31, 2018, respectively. To arrive at netNet sales for wholesale equals gross sales, are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. Total sales reserves for wholesale were $110.9$154 million, $87.5$112 million and $65.9$109 million at April 2, 2016, March 28, 20152020, March 30, 2019 and March 29, 2014,31, 2018, respectively. These estimates are based on such factors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance, and market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Our historical estimates of these costs were not materially different from actual results.

As of April 2, 2016, a hypothetical 1% increase in allowances for our reserves for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and other allowances would have decreased our Fiscal 2016 revenues by approximately $1.2 million.
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing our tradenames at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geography-specificgeographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of our tradenames to sell our branded products in specific geographic regions.
During Fiscal 2018, we launched our Michael Kors customer loyalty program, which allows customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at our retail stores and e-commerce sites. We allocate a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The contract liability was $2 million and $3 million as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively. Our breakage and other assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value of benefits are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual benefits that will be redeemed in the future.
Inventories
Our inventory costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties and freight to bring the goods to the Company’s warehouses, which are located in the United States, Holland, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong.as well as shipments to stores. We continuously evaluate the composition of our inventory and make adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of our inventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand and market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and physical inventory counts. Our inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of these adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
42

The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory recorded on the our consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 were $27 million and $25 million, respectively. The net realizable value of our inventory as of March 28, 2020 includes the adverse impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the impact from temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, reductions in retail store traffic, international tourism, and consumer consumption.
Long-lived AssetsRevenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. We evaluate all long-lived assets, including fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, we group our long-lived assets according to their lowest level of use, such as aggregating and capitalizing all construction costs related to arecognize retail store into leasehold improvementsrevenue when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at our owned stores, including concessions. Revenue from sales through our e-commerce sites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and those relatedallowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to our wholesale business into shop-in-shops. Our leasehold improvementscustomers. To arrive at net sales for retail, gross sales are typically amortized over the life of the store lease, including highly probable renewals, and our shop-in-shops are amortized overreduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a useful life of three or four years. Our impairment testingprovision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and current customer returns. The amounts reserved for retail sales returns were $12 million, $15 million and $12 million at March 28, 2020, March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Net sales for wholesale equals gross sales, reduced by provisions for estimated future returns based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. Total sales reserves for wholesale were $154 million, $112 million and $109 million at March 28, 2020, March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. These estimates are based on such factors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance, and market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Our historical estimates of these costs were not materially different from actual results.
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing our best estimatetradenames at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of our tradenames to sell our branded products in specific geographic regions.
During Fiscal 2018, we launched our Michael Kors customer loyalty program, which allows customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at our retail stores and e-commerce sites. We allocate a portion of the future operating cash flows. Ifinitial sales transaction based on the sum of our estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge, which is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds therelative fair value of the asset.benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These estimatesamounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of cash flow require significant management judgmentan estimated “breakage,” is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and certain assumptions about future volume, sales and expense growth rates, devaluation and inflation. As such, these estimates may differ from actual cash flows and future impairments may result if actual cash flows are lower than our expectations. For Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015, and Fiscal 2014, we recorded charges for impairments on fixed assets, primarily related to our retail segment, of $10.9 million, $0.8comprehensive income. The contract liability was $2 million and $1.3$3 million as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated audited financial statements for additional information.
Goodwill
We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. These assessments are made with regards to reporting units within our wholesale, retailOur breakage and licensing segments where our goodwill is recorded, and are based on our current operating projections. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.
We may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach (“step zero”) to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is greater than its carrying value. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceeds its carrying value, a quantitative goodwill analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples methods, require management to make certainother assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying value. To compute the implied fair value, we would assign the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, we would record an impairment loss to write down such goodwill to its implied fair value. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, our business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause us to conclude the impairment indicators exist and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, we elected to bypass the initial qualitative assessment and performed our annual impairment analysis using a quantitative approach, using the discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. Based on the results of this assessment, we concluded that the fair values of all reporting units significantly exceeded the related carrying amounts and there were no reporting units at risk of impairment. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill in any of the fiscal periods presented.
Share-based Compensation
We grant share-based awards to certain of our employees and directors. The grant date fair value of share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use subjective assumptions. The closing market price at the grant date is used to determine the grant dateestimated fair value of restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance restricted share units. These valuesbenefits are recognized as expense overestimates, which could vary significantly from actual benefits that will be redeemed in the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements.future.
Inventories
Our expected volatility is based oninventory costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties and freight to bring the average volatility rates of similar actively traded companies over the past 4.5-9.5 years, which is our range of estimated expected holding periods. The expected holding period for performance-based options is based on the periodgoods to expiration, which is generally 9-10 years. This approach was chosen as it directly correlates to our service period. The expected holding period for time-based options is calculated using a simplified method, which uses the vesting term of the options, generally 4 years, and the contractual term of 7 years, resulting in holding periods of 4.5-4.75 years. The simplified method was chosen as a means to determine the Company’s estimated holding period,warehouses, as priorwell as shipments to December 2011,stores. We continuously evaluate the Company was privately held and, as such, there is insufficient historical option exercise experience. The risk-free rate is derived from the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Strips yield curve based on the grant’s estimated holding period. Determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate, and forfeitures. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, the fair value of future awards and resulting share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have estimated in the past.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use forward currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certaincomposition of our transactions. We are exposedinventory and make adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on thebe fully recoverable. The net realizable value of our purchasing subsidiaries’ local currency relative to the currency requirementinventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand and market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and inventory counts. Our inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of the supplierthese adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
42

The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory recorded on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency contracts that generally mature in 12 months or less, which is consistent with the related purchase commitments. We designate certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges, while others remain undesignated. All of our derivative instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation. The effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item effects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recognized within cost of goods sold. We use regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis and any portion of the designated hedge contracts deemed ineffective is recorded to foreign currency gain (loss). If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded in foreign currency gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities and are determined using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or our own estimates and judgments.

Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. We periodically review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and provide valuation allowances as deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. This determination involves considerable judgment and our management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within various taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if our estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.
We recognize the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on our income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. The effect of an uncertain income tax position will not be taken into account if the position has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Our tax positions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments for those positions. We record interest expense and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which eliminated the prior requirement to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 will require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective beginning with our Fiscal 2018, with earlier application permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 on a retrospective basis. As of March 28, 2015, previously recorded current deferred tax assets and liabilities of $27.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, were subject to reclassification to noncurrent. Our balance sheet as of March 28, 2015 also reflects a $7.32020 and March 30, 2019 were $27 million reclassification between total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due$25 million, respectively. The net realizable value of our inventory as of March 28, 2020 includes the adverse impacts related to the fact that jurisdictional netting is not impacted by ASU 2015-17.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have considered all new accounting pronouncements,COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the impact from temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, reductions in retail store traffic, international tourism, and other than the recent pronouncements discussed below, have concluded that there are no new pronouncements that have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.consumer consumption.

Critical Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")No. 2014-09, “Revenue from ContractsPolicies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Customers,” which provides new guidance for revenues recognized from contracts with customers, and will replace the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 requires that revenue is recognized at an amount the company is entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to customers, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making it effective for the interim reporting periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, or beginning with our fiscal year 2019. This standard may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earningsaccounting principles generally accepted in the yearUnited States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of adoption. We are currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The FASB has issued several additional ASUs to provide implementation guidance on ASU No. 2015-14, including ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" issued in March 2016and ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" issued in April 2016. We will consider this guidance in evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09.
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-to-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective beginning with our fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted, and must be implemented using a modified restrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period that is presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements but expect that the adoption of this standard will result in a significant increase in assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Share-Based Compensation
In March 2016,and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which simplifies accounting and presentation of share-based payments, primarily relating to the recognition and classification of excess tax benefits, accounting for forfeitures and tax withholding requirements. ASU 2016-09 is effective beginning with the our fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted and different permitted adoption methods for each provisiondate of the standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target under stock-based compensation arrangements that could be achieved after the service period is treated as a performance condition and not reflected in the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, the related compensation cost should be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance targets will be achieved. ASU 2014-12 is effective beginning with the our fiscal year 2017, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. We do not expect that ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments and requiring such adjustments to be recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires disclosures of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment was recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective beginning with our fiscal year 2017, with earlier application permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-15 on our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory Valuation
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance requires inventory accounted for using the average cost or first-in first-out method ("FIFO") to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, replacing the current requirement to value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective beginning with our fiscal year 2018 and should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted. We do not expect that ASU No. 2015-11 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the end consumer throughportrayal of our retail storesresults of operations and concessions throughoutfinancial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the Americas, Europe, Japaneffect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and South Korea, as well as throughbest estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our e-commerce sites, includingassumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our e-commerce platformsignificant accounting policies are detailed in the U.S. launched in September 2014 and our e-commerce site in Canada launched in April 2015. We have four primary retail store formats: collection stores, lifestyle stores, outlet stores and e-commerce. Our collection stores are located in highly prestigious shopping areas, while our lifestyle stores are located in well-populated commercial shopping locations and leading regional shopping centers. Our outlet stores, which are generally in outlet centers, extend our reach to additional consumer groups. In addition to these four retail store formats, we operate concessions in a select number of department stores in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Wholesale
We sell our products directly to department stores primarily located across the Americascritical accounting policies are discussed below and Europe to accommodate consumers who prefer to shop at major department stores. In addition, we sell to specialty stores for those consumers who enjoy the boutique experience afforded by such stores, as well as to travel retail shops in the Americas, Europeinclude revenue recognition, inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill and Asia. We also have wholesale arrangements pursuant to which we sell products to certain of our licensees, including our licensees in Asia (which were previously reported within our Americas wholesale operations). We continue to focus our sales effortsother indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, derivatives and drive sales in existing locations by enhancing presentation, primarily through the creation of more shop-in-shops with our proprietary fixtures that effectively communicate our brand and create a more personalized shopping experience for consumers. We tailor our assortments through wholesale product planning and allocation processes to better match the demands of our department store customers in each local market.income taxes.

Licensing
We generate revenue through product and geographic licensing arrangements. Our product license agreements allow third parties to use our brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of a variety of products, including watches, fragrances, eyewear and jewelry. In our product licensing arrangements, we take an active role in the design process, marketing and distribution of products under our brands. Our geographic licensing arrangements allow third parties to use our tradenames in connection with the retail and/or wholesale sales of our branded products in specific geographic regions. On January 1, 2016, our licensing agreement in South Korea expired and we acquired direct control of the related retail and wholesale operations. In addition, we plan to acquire certain of our licensed operations in the Greater China region during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies
General Definitions for Operating Results
Net sales consistThe preparation of sales from comparable retail storesfinancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and non-comparable retail stores, netassumptions that affect the reported amounts of returnsassets and markdowns,liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those madethat are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, our critical accounting policies are discussed below and include revenue recognition, inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, share-based compensation, derivatives and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our wholesale customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. We recognize retail store revenue when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at our owned stores, including concessions. Revenue from sales through our e-commerce sites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances.
Comparable store sales include sales from a store or e-commerce site that has been operating for one full yearallowances, after the endmerchandise is shipped and control of the first month of its operations. For stores that are closed, sales that were made in the final month of their operations (assuming closure priorunderlying product is transferred to the fiscal month's end), are excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales. Additionally,our wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for stores thatretail, gross sales are either relocated, or expandedreduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a square footageprovision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of 25% or greater, in any given fiscal year,historical and current customer returns. The amounts reserved for retail sales returns were $12 million, $15 million and $12 million at March 28, 2020, March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Net sales for wholesale equals gross sales, reduced by provisions for estimated future returns based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. Total sales reserves for wholesale were $154 million, $112 million and $109 million at March 28, 2020, March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. These estimates are also excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales at the time of their move or interruption, untilbased on such stores have been in their new location, orfactors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance, and market conditions, which are operating under their new size/capacity, for at least one full year after the end of the first month of their relocation or expansion. All comparable store sales are presentedreviewed by management on a 52-weekquarterly basis. Beginning with the first quarterOur historical estimates of Fiscal 2016, comparable store sales arethese costs were not materially different from actual results.
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported on a global basis, which better represents management’s view of our Company as an expanding global business.

Constant currency effects are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitate comparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global Company, foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currency impacts by translating the current-year’s reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year’s foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constant currency performance measures discussed below should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Licensing revenue consists of fees charged on sales of licensed products bearing our tradenames at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by ourgeographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as well as contractual royalty ratesoutlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of our trademarkstradenames to sell our branded products in certainspecific geographic territories.regions.
CostDuring Fiscal 2018, we launched our Michael Kors customer loyalty program, which allows customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at our retail stores and e-commerce sites. We allocate a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The contract liability was $2 million and $3 million as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively. Our breakage and other assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value of benefits are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual benefits that will be redeemed in the future.
Inventories
Our inventory costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties and freight to bring the goods sold includesto the Company’s warehouses, as well as shipments to stores. We continuously evaluate the composition of our inventory and make adjustments when the cost of inventory sold, freight-inis not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of our inventory is estimated based on merchandisehistorical experience, current and foreign currency exchange gains/forecasted demand and market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and inventory counts. Our inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of these adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
42

The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory recorded on the our consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 were $27 million and $25 million, respectively. The net realizable value of our inventory as of March 28, 2020 includes the adverse impacts related to forward contracts for purchase commitments. Allthe COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the impact from temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, reductions in retail store traffic, international tourism, and consumer consumption.
Long-lived Assets
We evaluate all long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and occupancy costs are includedequipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in Selling, general and administrative expenses (see below), and as a result our costcircumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goods soldany such asset may not be comparablerecoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, we group our long-lived assets according to their lowest level of use, such as aggregating and capitalizing all construction costs related to a retail store into right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements and those related to our wholesale business into shop-in-shops. Our leasehold improvements are typically amortized over the life of the store lease, including highly probable renewals, and our shop-in-shops are amortized over a useful life of three or four years. Our impairment testing is based on our best estimate of the future operating cash flows. If the sum of our estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge, which is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair values determined by management require significant judgment and include certain assumptions regarding future sales and expense growth rates, discount rates and estimates of current real estate market values. As such, these estimates may differ from actual results and are affected by future market and economic conditions.
During Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, we recorded impairment charges of $357 million, $21 million and $33 million, respectively, related to our retail long-lived assets. The impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2020 primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and the impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018 primarily related to property and equipment and lease rights for underperforming Michael Kors retail stores. Please refer to Note 8, Note 9 and Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated audited financial statements for additional information.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The brand intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo were determined to be an indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization. We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as the Versace brand and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill, the Versace brand and the Jimmy Choo brand are assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.
We may assess our goodwill and our brand indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, we assess various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that our goodwill and other entitiesindefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. We may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill and our indefinite-lived intangible assets initially rather than using a qualitative approach.
The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment include a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. This valuation is affected by certain estimates, including our future revenue growth rates, margins and discount rates. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.
43

When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of our brand indefinite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of the Versace and the Jimmy Choo brands is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the "relief from royalty" method, assuming that a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in lieu of ownership for this intangible asset. This approach is dependent on many factors, including estimates of future growth, royalty rates, and discount rates. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. Impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived brand intangible assets is less than its carrying amount.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, we performed our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis for our three brands. Based on the results of our qualitative impairment assessment, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Michael Kors’ reporting units exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, were not impaired. We elected to perform our annual goodwill and brand indefinite-lived impairment analysis for both the Versace and Jimmy Choo using a quantitative approach, using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair values of each brands' reporting units. Based on the results of these assessments, we concluded that the fair values of the Jimmy Choo Retail and Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting units, along with the Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible asset did not exceed the related carrying amounts. Jimmy Choo expects to experience a reduction in profitability trends, primarily related to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in declines in sales driven by the full and partial closures of a significant portion of our stores globally.
Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges of $171 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting units and $180 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand intangible asset during Fiscal 2020. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. If the discount rate increased by 0.5%, it may cause an additional impairment of $36 million and $13 million for the Jimmy Choo Retail and Licensing reporting units and $21 million for Jimmy Choo Brand intangible assets. See Note 9 to the accompanying audited financial statements for information relating to its annual impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
We also elected to perform our annual goodwill and brand impairment analysis for Versace using a quantitative approach, using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair values of each reporting unit. We concluded that the fair values of the Versace reporting units and the brand intangible asset exceeded the related carrying amounts and there were no impairment recorded. The fair value of the Versace Retail reporting unit, which has a goodwill balance of $213 million, is 4% higher than the carrying value. The fair value of the Versace wholesale brand intangible asset, which has a balance of $312 million, is 3% higher than the carrying value.
It is possible that our conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other indefinite intangible assets could change in future periods if, for example, (i) our businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in future years vary from current assumptions, (iii) business conditions or strategies change from our current assumptions, (iv) the change of discount rates, or (v) the identification of our reporting units change, among other factors. Such changes could result in a future impairment charge of goodwill or other indefinite intangible assets.
Share-based Compensation
We grant share-based awards to certain of our employees and directors. The grant date fair value of share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use subjective assumptions. The closing market price at the grant date is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. These values are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have chosenonly time-based vesting requirements. Compensation expense for performance-based RSUs is recognized over the employees' requisite service period when attainment of the performance goals is deemed probable, which involves judgment as to include someachievement of certain performance metrics.
We use our own historical experience in determining the expected holding period and volatility of our time-based share option awards. Determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility, expected term, risk-free rate, and forfeitures. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, the fair value of future awards and resulting share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have estimated in the past.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
We use forward currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of our transactions. We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiaries’ local currency relative to the currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency contracts that generally mature in 12 months or allless, which is consistent with the related purchase commitments. We designate certain contracts related to the purchase of those expensesinventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. All of our derivative instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation. The effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of theiraccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item effects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recognized within cost of goods sold. We use regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis and any portion of the designated hedge contracts deemed ineffective is recorded to foreign currency gain (loss). If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded in foreign currency gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations.
Gross profitNet Investment Hedges
We also use fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between its U.S. Dollars and these foreign currencies. We have elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, as defined in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and have designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on net investment hedges is total revenue (net sales plus licensing revenue) minus cost of goods sold. As a result of retail store operatingreported within foreign currency translation gains and occupancy costs being excluded from our cost of goods sold, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities that have chosen to include some or all of those expenseslosses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense in our statement of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.
We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their gross profit.contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consistDuring the fourth quarter of warehousing and distribution costs, rent forFiscal 2020, we terminated all of our distribution centers, store payroll, store occupancy costs (such as rent, common area maintenance, store pre-opening, real estate taxes and utilities), information technology and systems costs, corporate payroll and related benefits, advertising and promotion expense and other general expenses.
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of fixed and definite-lived intangible assets.
Impairment charges consist of charges to write-down fixed assets to fair value.
Income from operations consists of gross profit minus total operating expenses.
Other (income) expense, net includes a gain on acquisition of MK Korea during Fiscal 2016, as well as proceeds received investment hedges related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts and equityEuro-denominated subsidiaries. The early termination of these hedges resulted in the receipt of $296 million in cash during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
Income Taxes
Deferred income or loss earned on our joint venture (prior to obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama). Future amounts may include any miscellaneous activities not directly related to our operations.
Interest expense, net represents interest and fees on our revolving credit facilities and letters of credit (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further detail on our credit facilities), as well as amortization of deferred financing costs, offset by interest earned on highly liquid investments (investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, classified as cash equivalents).
Foreign currency losses includes net gains or losses related to the mark-to-market (fair value) on our forward currency contracts not designated as accounting hedges and unrealized income or loss from the re-measurement of monetarytax assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other thanreflect temporary differences between the functional currenciestax basis and financial reporting basis of our subsidiaries.assets and liabilities and are determined using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or our own estimates and judgments.
NoncontrollingRealization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. We periodically review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and provide valuation allowances as deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. This determination involves considerable judgment and our management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within various taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if our estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.

We recognize the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on our income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. The effect of an uncertain income tax position will not be taken into account if the position has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Our tax positions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments for those positions. We record interest represents expense and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments enacted, or are in the process of enacting, measures to provide aid and economic stimulus to companies. On March 27, 2020, the United States government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which includes various tax provisions aimed at providing economic relief. We realized a slight favorable cash flow impact in Fiscal 2020 as a result of the deferral of income tax payments under the CARES Act and other local government relief initiatives. We also considered the significant adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business in assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, we determined that valuation allowances of approximately $65 million were needed against a portion of our non-US deferred tax assets. We will continue to monitor the equity ownership in MK Panama, which is not attributableimpacts of COVID-19 on our ability to realize our deferred tax assets and on the tax provision.

Total Revenue
Total revenue increased $340.6 million, or 7.8%, to $4.712 billion for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2016, compared to $4.372 billion for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $168.7 million primarily related to the weakening of the Euro, the Canadian Dollar, and the Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar in Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased by $509.3 million, or 11.7%. Fiscal 2016 also included approximately $33.7 million of incremental net retail sales attributable to the inclusion of the 53rd week, as well as $28.9 million of incremental revenue recorded as a result of consolidating MK Panama and acquiring MK Korea during Fiscal 2016. The increase in our revenues was primarily due to an increase in our non-comparable retail store sales and wholesale sales, partially offset by lower comparable retail store sales.

Retail
Net sales from our retail stores increased $260.3 million, or 12.2%, to $2.395 billion for Fiscal 2016, compared to $2.135 billion for Fiscal 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $107.2 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales from our retail stores increased $367.5 million, or 17.2%. We operated 668 retail stores, including concessions, as of April 2, 2016, compared to 526 retail stores, including concessions, as of March 28, 2015.
Our comparable store sales declined $77.1 million, or 4.2%, during Fiscal 2016, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $61.3 million. Our comparable store sales benefited 194 basis points from the inclusion of the U.S. e-commerce sales in comparable store sales beginning with the third quarter of Fiscal 2016. On a constant currency basis, our comparable store sales declined $15.8 million, or 0.9%, primarily driven by lower comparable store sales from our retail business in the Americas, partially offset by increased comparable store sales from our international businesses. The decline in our comparable store sales primarily reflected lower sales of watches, apparel and jewelry, partially offset by increased sales of accessories during Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015.
Our non-comparable store sales increased $337.4 million during Fiscal 2016, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $45.9 million. On a constant currency basis, our non-comparable store sales increased $383.3 million. Approximately 86% of this sales growth was attributable to operating 142 additional stores since March 28, 2015 (including 14 stores included as a result of obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama and 36 stores acquired in connection with the MK Korea acquisition) and approximately 14% was attributable to non-comparable sales from our e-commerce sites in the Americas, which included our U.S. e-commerce store sales through the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. Fiscal 2016 included approximately $33.7 million of incremental net retail sales attributable to the inclusion of the 53rd week.
Wholesale
Net sales to our wholesale customers increased $78.8 million, or 3.8%, to $2.144 billion for Fiscal 2016, compared to $2.065 billion for Fiscal 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $61.5 million. On a constant currency basis, our wholesale net sales increased $140.3 million, or 6.8%. The increase in our wholesale net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales from our accessories and footwear product lines during Fiscal 2016 as compared to Fiscal 2015.
Licensing
Royalties earned on our licensing agreements increased $1.5 million, or 0.9%, to $173.3 million for Fiscal 2016, compared to $171.8 million for Fiscal 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues earned on licensing agreements related to the sales of jewelry, eyewear and outerwear, as well as higher revenues from our geographic licensing arrangements in Asia, partially offset by lower licensing revenues related to the sale of watches.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $149.5 million, or 5.6%, to $2.797 billion during Fiscal 2016, compared to $2.648 billion for Fiscal 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $113.5 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue declined 120 basis points to 59.4% during Fiscal 2016, compared to 60.6% during Fiscal 2015. The decline in gross profit margin was attributable to gross profit margin declines of 230 basis points from our retail segment and 80 basis points from our wholesale segment. The decrease in gross profit margin from our retail segment was primarily due to an increase in promotional activity during Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015. The decrease in gross profit margin from our wholesale segment was primarily due to an increase in wholesale allowances during Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015. These declines were partially offset by a favorable geographic mix in Fiscal 2016, which was driven by a higher proportion of sales outside the U.S. than in prior year.

Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $231.4 million, or 16.6%, to $1.622 billion during Fiscal 2016, compared to $1.391 billion for Fiscal 2015. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $71.5 million. Total operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 34.4% in Fiscal 2016, compared to 31.8% in Fiscal 2015. The components that comprise total operating expenses are detailed below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $176.5 million, or 14.1%, to $1.428 billion during Fiscal 2016, compared to $1.252 billion for Fiscal 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following:
a $126.4 million increase in retail store-related costs, including $52.0 million in occupancy costs, $37.0 million in compensation-related costs, $12.2 million in store advertising and promotional spending and $6.4 million in freight-related costs. This increase was primarily attributable to our growth to 668 retail stores from 526 in the prior year and operating our e-commerce sites in the United States for the full year in Fiscal 2016;
a $14.3 million increase in corporate employee-related costs, primarily due to an increase in our corporate staff to support our global growth;
a $7.2 million increase in write-offs related to fixed assets;
a $7.1 million increase in selling costs;
a $6.1 million increase in distribution costs; and
a $5.7 million increase in corporate occupancy-related costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 30.3% during Fiscal 2016, compared to 28.6% for Fiscal 2015. The increase as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to the increase in our retail store costs during Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $44.8 million, or 32.4%, to $183.2 million during Fiscal 2016, compared to $138.4 million for Fiscal 2015, primarily due to an increase in the build-out of our new retail stores, new shop-in-shop locations, increase in lease rights related to our new European stores, and investments made in our information systems infrastructure to accommodate our growth. Depreciation and amortization increased to 3.9% as a percentage of total revenue during Fiscal 2016, compared to 3.2% for Fiscal 2015.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During Fiscal 2016, we recognized fixed asset impairment charges of approximately $10.9 million, $8.6 million of which primarily related to seven retail locations that are still in operation, $0.4 million related to our wholesale operations and $1.9 million related to a corporate fixed asset that is no longer in service. During Fiscal 2015, fixed asset impairment charges of $0.8 million related to two of our retail locations that were still in operation.
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations decreased $81.9 million, or 6.5%, to $1.175 billion during Fiscal 2016, compared to $1.257 billion for Fiscal 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $42.0 million. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue declined to 24.9% in Fiscal 2016, compared to 28.8% in Fiscal 2015.

Retail
Income from operations for our retail segment declined $55.8 million, or 10.0%, to $501.4 million during Fiscal 2016, compared to $557.2 million for Fiscal 2015. Income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales for the retail segment declined by approximately 520 basis points to 20.9% during Fiscal 2016. The decrease in retail income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net retail sales of approximately 290 basis points, as well as due to the decrease in gross profit margin, as previously discussed above, during Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net retail sales was largely due to increased retail store-related costs and higher depreciation expense primarily attributable to new store openings, as well as fixed asset impairment charges recorded for certain of our retail stores.
Wholesale
Income from operations for our wholesale segment declined $26.8 million, or 4.4%, to $584.1 million during Fiscal 2016, compared to $610.9 million for Fiscal 2015. Income from operations as a percentage of net wholesale sales decreased approximately 240 basis points to 27.2%. This decrease in wholesale income from operations as a percentage of wholesale net sales was due to a net increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net wholesale sales of approximately 160 basis points during Fiscal 2016 as compared to Fiscal 2015, which was largely attributable to higher depreciation expenses, distribution costs, write-offs related to fixed assets and corporate allocated expenses. The increase in wholesale income from operations as a percentage of net sales was also attributable to a lower gross profit margin, as previously discussed.
Licensing
Income from operations for our licensing segment increased $0.7 million, or 0.8%, to $89.6 million during Fiscal 2016, compared to $88.9 million for Fiscal 2015. Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue declined approximately 10 basis points to 51.7%. The decline in licensing income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue was due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of licensing revenues during Fiscal 2016, as compared to Fiscal 2015. This increase was largely due to increased costs related to protection of our intellectual property and higher depreciation expenses, partially offset by lower advertising costs as a percentage of licensing revenue.
Other Income, net
Other income of $3.7 million during Fiscal 2016 was primarily comprised of a $3.7 million gain on acquisition of MK Korea (see Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) and $1.0 million in income related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts, partially offset by $1.0 million of losses related to our joint venture, which were recorded under the equity method of accounting prior to obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. During Fiscal 2015, other income of $1.6 million was primarily comprised of $1.5 million in income related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $1.5 million to $1.7 million for Fiscal 2016, as compared to $0.2 million for Fiscal 2015, primarily due to lower interest income earned on our short-term investments (cash equivalents), as well as higher interest expense on borrowings during Fiscal 2016.

Foreign Currency Loss
We recognized a foreign currency losses of $4.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, during Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015. These foreign currency losses included mark-to-market adjustments related to our forward foreign currency contracts not designated as accounting hedges, as well as gains and losses on the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable reporting units, and the remeasurement of intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized $334.6 million of income tax expense during Fiscal 2016, compared with $374.8 million for Fiscal 2015. Our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2016 was 28.5%, compared to 29.8% for Fiscal 2015. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in taxable income in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries (predominantly European operations) during Fiscal 2016, which are subject to lower statutory income tax rates, as well as state tax benefits recognized during Fiscal 2016. Given that certain of our non-U.S. operations have become consistently profitable, we expect this decrease on our combined consolidated effective rate to continue. The Fiscal 2015 effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the settlement of certain financial instruments in connection with our international income tax structuring.
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. federal, state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
During Fiscal 2016, we recorded a net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interest in MK Panama of $1.4 million. This loss represents the share of MK Panama's income that is not attributable to the Company.
Net Income Attributable to MKHL
As a result of the foregoing, our net income declined $41.9 million, or 4.8%, to $839.1 million during Fiscal 2016, compared to $881.0 million for Fiscal 2015, which included unfavorable foreign currency effects of $38.1 million.

The decrease in retail income from operations as a percentage of net sales was2019, primarily due to an increase in operating costs as a percentagereduction of interest expense related to cross-currency swaps associated with our net retail sales of approximately 2.6%, as well as due to the decrease in gross profit margin, as previously discussed above,investment hedge during Fiscal 20152020, as compared to Fiscal 2014. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net retail sales was2019, largely due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, primarily related to new stores and lease rights (key money), as well as increased retail store and overhead costs, and distribution expenses.

Wholesale
Income from operations for our wholesale segment increased $151.1 million, or 32.9%, to $610.9 million during Fiscal 2015, compared to $459.8 million for Fiscal 2014. Income from operations as a percentage of net wholesale sales increased approximately 50 basis points to 29.6%. This increase as a percentage of net sales was due to a net decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net wholesale sales during Fiscal 2015 as compared to Fiscal 2014, which was primarily due to lower selling and distribution costs, reflecting our operating expense leverage, partially offset by increased depreciationinterest expense attributable to higher average borrowings outstanding in the current year (see Note 12 and amortization expenses as a result ofNote 15 to the growth in our wholesale doors.
Licensing
Income from operationsaccompanying consolidated financial statements for our licensing segment increased $7.8 million, or 9.6%, to $88.9 million during Fiscal 2015, compared to $81.1 million for Fiscal 2014. Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue decreased approximately 600 basis points to 51.8%additional information). This decrease as a percentage of licensing revenue was due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of licensing revenues during Fiscal 2015, as compared to Fiscal 2014. This increase was largely due to increased advertising expenses, as well as certain administrative expenses incurred in connection with the formation of our new licensing operations in Europe during Fiscal 2015.
Other income
Other income was $1.6 million during Fiscal 2015, and was comprised of $1.5 million in income related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts and a gain of $0.1 million earned on our joint venture.
Foreign Currency Loss
We recognized a net foreign currency loss of $2.6$11 million during Fiscal 2015, as compared to a foreign currency loss of $0.1 million during Fiscal 2014. The Fiscal 2015 loss was2020, primarily relatedattributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, of the applicable reporting units, as well as the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and the Canadian Dollar, which impacted the re-measurementremeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries. Suchsubsidiaries (see Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
We recognized a net foreign currency loss was partially offset by net gains of $1.5$80 million during Fiscal 2019, primarily attributable to a $77 million loss related to mark-to-market of our forward foreign currency exchange derivative contracts not designated as accounting hedges. The $0.1 million loss for Fiscal 2014 was primarily relatedto hedge the transaction price of the Versace acquisition (please refer to Note 15 to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable reporting units.accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized $374.8$10 million of income tax expense during Fiscal 2015,2020, compared with $346.2$79 million for Fiscal 2014.2019. Our effective tax rate for Fiscal 20152020 was 29.8%(4.7)%, compared to 34.4%12.7% for Fiscal 2014.2019. The decrease in our effectiveincome tax rateprovision was primarily due to the increase in taxableimpact of a consolidated pre-tax loss as well as the impact of a release of income intax reserves during Fiscal 2020. The decrease was partially offset by the effects of valuation allowances established on a portion of our non-US deferred tax assets, a lower favorable effect of our global financing activities during Fiscal 2020, compared to Fiscal 2019, as well as non-tax deductible goodwill impairment impacts. The global financing activities are related to our previously disclosed 2014 move of our principal executive office from Hong Kong to the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, we funded our international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of our non-U.S.U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries (predominantly European operations) during Fiscal 2015, which are subjectin December 2015. Accordingly, due to lowerthe difference in the statutory income tax rates. The Fiscal 2015rates between these jurisdictions, we realized a higher effective tax rate wason the consolidated pre-tax loss.
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also favorably impacted by the settlement of certain financial instrumentsimpact our effective tax rate in connection with our international income tax structuring.future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, along with borrowings available under our credit facilityfacilities (see below discussion regarding “Senior Unsecured Revolving“Revolving Credit Facility”Facilities”) and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund ourthe ongoing cash requirements, including our working capital requirements, global retail store construction, expansionneeds and renovation, expansioncapital investments in our business, debt repayments, acquisitions, returns of our distribution and corporate facilities, construction and renovation of shop-in-shops, investment in information systems infrastructure,capital including share repurchases and other corporate activities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facilityfacilities and available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our store growth plans, shop-in-shop growth, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued systems development, e-commerce and marketing initiatives and acquisition of certain currently licensed operations in Asia.initiatives. We spent $369.2$223 million on capital expenditures during Fiscal 2016,2020, and expect to spend approximately $250.0$130 million during Fiscal 2017.2021. In response to the continued global health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this represents a significant reduction to capital expenditures in Fiscal 2021. The majority of thesethe Fiscal 2020 expenditures related to theour retail store openings which occurred during the year, with the remainder being used on investments made in connection with new shop-in-shops, the build-out ofoperations (including e-commerce), ERP system implementation and our corporate offices and enhancements to our distribution, e-commerce, and other information systems infrastructure.offices.

The 2015 Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million and swing line loans of up to $50.0 million. We have the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the 2015 Credit Facility by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The 2015 Credit Facility expires on October 29, 2020.
Borrowings under the 2015 Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at (i) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an alternative base rate, which is the greater of the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, the greater of the federal funds effective rate or Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points or the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities ("Adjusted LIBOR") plus 100 basis points, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio; (ii) Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio; (iii) for Canadian borrowings, the Canadian prime rate, which is the greater of the PRIMCAN Index rate or the rate applicable to one-month Canadian Dollar banker's acceptances quoted on Reuters ("CDOR") plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio; or (iv) for Canadian borrowings, the average CDOR rate for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio.

The 2015 Credit Facility also provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.175% per annum, based on our leverage ratio, applied to the average daily unused amount of the facility. Loans under the 2015 Credit Facility may be prepaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to loans bearing interest based upon Adjusted LIBOR or the CDOR rate.
The 2015 Credit Facility requiresrequired us to maintain a leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.53.75 to 1. Such leverage ratio is1, calculated asbased on the ratio of the sum ofconsolidated total indebtedness asplus the capitalized amount of the date of the measurement plus 6.0 times theall operating lease liabilities presented on our consolidated rent expense for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters,balance sheets to Consolidated EBITDAR for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense

and other non-cash charges, subject to certain deductions. The 20152018 Credit Facility also includes other customary covenants that limit additional indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments and cash dividends that are customary for financings of this type.dividends. As of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.our agreements then in effect governing our debt.
The 2015 Credit Facility contains events(2)Recorded as short-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of default customaryMarch 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019.
(3)Recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, except for financingsthe current portion of this type, including but not limited to, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations$128 million and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2015 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and change of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2015 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts$80 million, respectively, outstanding under the 20152018 Term Loan Facility, which was recorded within short-term debt at March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019.
We believe that our 2018 Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. As of March 28, 2020, there were 26 financial institutions participating in the facility, with none maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 10%. We have no reason to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility.
As of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility or the prior 2013 Credit Facility. At April 2, 2016, stand-by letters of credit of $10.0 million were outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility. At April 2, 2016, the amount available for future borrowings was $990.0 million.
Debt Obligations of MK Panama

(1)The share-repurchase program expired on May 25, 2019.
On October 30, 2014,August 1, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billionnew $500 million share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of our shares for a period of two years. On May 20, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of upwas set to an additional $500.0 million under our existing share repurchase program and extended the program through May 2017. On November 3, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a further increase in our share repurchase program of up to an additional $500.0 million of our ordinary shares and extended the program through March 2018. During Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, we repurchased 24,757,543 shares and 2,040,979 shares, respectively, at a cost of $1.150 billion and $136.9 million, respectively, under our current share-repurchase program through open market transactions.expire August 1, 2021. As of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, the remaining availability under our share repurchase program was $358.1$400 million. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the our insider trading policy, and other relevant factors. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
On November 14, 2014, we entered into a $355.0 million acceleratedThe share repurchase program (the “ASR program”) with a major financial institution (the “ASR Counterparty”) to repurchase our ordinary shares. Under the ASR program, we paid $355.0 millionwas suspended on April 6, 2020 in response to the ASR Counterpartycontinued global health and received 4,437,516 of its ordinary shares from the ASR Counterparty, which represents 100%economic impact of the shares expected to be purchased pursuant to the ASR program, based on an initial share price determination. The ASR program also contained a forward contract indexed to our ordinary shares whereby additional shares would be delivered to us by January 29, 2015 (the settlement date) if the share price declined from the initial share price, limited to a stated share price “floor.” The total number of shares repurchased/acquired was determined on final settlement, with the additional shares reacquired based on the volume-weighted average price of our ordinary shares, less a discount, during the repurchase period, subject to aforementioned price floor. In January 2015, 280,819 additional shares were delivered to us pursuant to these provisions, which did not require any additional cash outlay. The ASR program was accounted for as a treasury stock repurchase, reducing the number of ordinary shares outstanding by 4,718,335 shares.
We also have in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows us to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, we withheld 54,875 shares and 40,787 shares, respectively, at a cost of $2.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

On May 25, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced the remaining balance of the previous share repurchase program authorized on October 30, 2014.COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating lease obligations represent our equipment leases and the minimum lease rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases for our real estate locations globally. In addition to the above amounts, we are typically required to pay real estate taxes, contingent rent based on sales volume and other occupancy costs relating to our leased properties for our retail stores.
Inventory purchase obligations represent our contractual agreements relating to future purchases of inventory.
Other commitments include our non-cancelable contractual obligations related to our new European distribution center, marketing and advertising agreements, information technology agreements, and supply agreements.
Excluded from the above commitments is $18.5$99 million of long-term liabilities related to net uncertain tax positions, due to the uncertainty of the time and nature of resolution.
The above table also excludes amounts included in current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet(other than short-term debt) recorded as of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, as these items will be paid within one year, and non-current liabilities that have no cash outflows associated with them (e.g., deferred taxes).


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. In addition to the commitments in the above table, our off-balance sheet commitments relating to our outstanding letters of credit were $10.6$24 million at April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, including $0.6$6 million in letters of credit issued outside of the 20152018 Credit Facility. In addition, as of March 28, 2020, bank guarantees of approximately $18 million were supported by our Versace Credit Facility. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that our sales or operating results have been materially impacted by inflation during the periods presented in our financial statements. However, we may experience an increase in cost pressure from our suppliers in the future, which could have an adverse impact on our gross profit results in the periods effected.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in interest rates. In attempts to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instruments primarily helps to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our product costs. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of our purchasing subsidiariessubsidiaries’ local currency relative to the currency requirement of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency exchange contracts that generally mature in 12 months or less and are consistent with the related purchase commitments.commitments, to manage our exposure to the changes in the value of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability, and are derivative contracts to hedge cash flow risks. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, while certain of these contracts, currently a relatively small portion, are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the majority of these contracts at the balance sheet date are recorded in our equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in, or reclassified into, our cost of sales or operating expenses, in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward currency exchange contracts were established. For those contracts which are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, any portion
56

We perform a sensitivity analysis on our forward currency contracts, both designated and not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in U.S. Dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, would result in a net increase and decrease, respectively, of approximately $20$15 million in the fair value of these contracts.
Net Investment Hedge
We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to interest from our net investment hedge. As of March 28, 2020, the net investment hedge has an aggregate notional amount of $44 million to hedge our net investments in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and this currency. Under the terms of this contract, which matures November 2024, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments made under our Senior Notes for fixed rate payments of 0.89% in Japanese Yen. Based on the net investment hedge outstanding as of March 28, 2020, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of March 28, 2020, would result in a potential net increase or decrease upon settlement of approximately $5 million in the fair value of this contract, which matures in 4 years.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 20152018 Term Loan Facility, our 2018 Credit Facility.Facility, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, our Japan Credit Facility and our Versace Credit Facilities. Our 20152018 Term Loan Facility carries interest at a rate that is based on LIBOR. Our 2018 Credit Facility carries interest rates that are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, among other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular origination of borrowing), and thereforeas further described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our Hong Kong Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Our China Credit Facility carries interest at a rate that is tied to the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark lending rate. Our Japan Credit Facility carries interest at a rate posted by the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Our Versace Credit Facility carries interest at a rate set by the bank on the date of borrowing that is tied to the European Central Bank. Therefore, our statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, there were no balances2020, we had $681 million in long-term borrowings outstanding onunder our 20152018 Credit Facility, or$1.010 billion, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our prior 20132018 Term Loan Facility and $39 million outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. At March 30, 2019, we had $539 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility, which is$1.570 billion, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and $11 million outstanding under our Versace Credit Facility. These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facilityour revolving credit facilities that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense on our 2015 Credit Facility relative to any outstanding balance at that date.
Credit Risk
We have outstanding $450 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due in 2024. The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.000% per year, payable semi-annually. Our Senior Notes interest rate payable may 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 Senior Notes.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 (f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").GAAP. Such internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance (A) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (B) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2016.March 28, 2020. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), the 2013 Framework. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, as well as the consolidated financial statements, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein. The audit report appears on page 5561 of this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
ThereExcept as discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterthree months ended April 2, 2016,March 28, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
COVID-19

In addition to the changes discussed below, we have experienced varying degrees of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including periods of closures of our stores, distribution centers and corporate facilities beginning during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020. In addition, we have temporarily furloughed a significant portion of our store employees and are requiring our corporate employees in affected regions to work remotely. Despite such actions, we have not experienced any material changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate and monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls. See Item 1A — "Risk Factors — The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations" for additional discussion regarding risks to our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leases

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we implemented additional internal controls in connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), none of which materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

Adoption of ASU No. 2016-02
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases in the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases and associated amendments (Topic 842).

Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Description of the MatterAt March 28, 2020, the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of brand names, totaled $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. During Fiscal 2020, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $171 million associated with two of its Jimmy Choo reporting units. The Company also recognized an impairment charge of $180 million associated with the Jimmy Choo indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset.

Auditing the Company’s annual impairment assessments was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the reporting units for goodwill and the fair value of indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets. In particular, the fair value estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions, such as changes in the discount rate, revenue growth rate, margin and royalty rates, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions (including the effects of the global pandemic).

How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.

To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the valuation methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends and evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business environment would affect the significant assumptions. For example, we compared the royalty rates used in estimating the fair value of certain indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets to current industry licensing agreements. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived brand name intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. We also involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the significant assumptions and methodologies used by the Company in developing the fair value estimates. In addition, we tested management’s reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases
Description of the MatterAs discussed above and in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) on March 31, 2019. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded a lease liability and related right of use asset of $2.2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively on its balance sheet at March 28, 2020.

Auditing management’s initial recognition of the lease liabilities and right-of-use asset upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 was especially challenging due to the volume and diversity of leases in the Company’s global lease portfolio. Further, the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate had a significant effect on the measurement of the lease liability and right-of use asset recognized upon adoption. Auditing management’s calculated incremental borrowing rate was complex due to the judgement involved in developing the expected interest rates for secured borrowings based on the term and the economic environment of the leases.

65

How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 included testing of controls over management’s review of the completeness of the lease population and the calculation of the incremental borrowing rate.

We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the Company’s initial recognition of the lease liabilities and right-of-use asset. Our audit procedures included, among others, comparing the information in a sample of lease agreements to the Company’s analyses and selecting leases from independent sources and assessing their inclusion in the Company’s analysis. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the key assumptions and methodologies management used to develop the incremental borrowing rate. We independently calculated a range of incremental borrowing rates and compared it to the rates used by the Company.

Impairment of Retail Store Long-Lived assets
Description of the MatterAs discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets, which primarily include property, plant, and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets at retail stores, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended March 28, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $357 million related to the long-lived assets at certain of its retail stores. In addition, upon adoption of ASC 842, Leases, the Company recorded a $152 million impairment, net of tax, of operating lease assets at certain of its retail stores as a reduction to retained earnings on March 31, 2019.

Auditing the Company’s impairment assessment of retail store long-lived assets was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the future cash flows used to assess recoverability of each retail store long-lived asset group (undiscounted) and determining the fair value (discounted). The significant assumptions used include estimated future cash flows directly related to the future operation of the stores (including sales and expense growth rates) and the discount rate used to determine fair value. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of certain operating lease right-of-use assets include the current market rent and discount rate for the remaining lease term of the related stores. These assumptions are subjective in nature and are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions (including the effects of the global pandemic).

How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the retail store long-lived assets impairment process, including, determining the undiscounted future cash flows of the stores and the fair value of the long-lived assets (including those related to operating leases) for the stores that were deemed to be impaired. We also tested controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.

Our testing of the Company’s impairment measurement included, among other procedures, evaluating the significant assumptions and operating data used to calculate the estimated future cash flows and to determine the fair value of the store long lived asset groups. For a sample of retail stores, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used by the Company in its analyses and we compared the significant assumptions used to determine the forecasted cash flows to historical results of the retail stores, current industry and economic trends and inquired of the Company’s executives to understand the business initiatives supporting the assumptions in the future cash flows. We involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the fair value of certain operating lease right-of-use assets, which included assessing the estimated market rental rates of these leases by comparing them to rental rates for comparable leases and evaluating the applied discount rate.

Michael KorsIn our opinion, Capri Holdings Limited and subsidiaries’subsidiaries (“the Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2020, based on the COSO criteria.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Michael Kors Holdings Limited and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 2, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 2, 2016 of Michael Kors Holdings Limited and subsidiaries and our report dated June 1, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, sales discounts and doubtful accounts, estimates of inventory recovery,net realizable value, the valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of deferred taxes and the estimated useful lives used for amortization and depreciationvaluation of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment.equipment, along with the estimated useful lives assigned to these assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Seasonality
The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during its first fiscal quarter.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when therecontrol of the promised goods or services is persuasive evidence oftransferred to the Company's customers in an arrangement, delivery has occurred,amount that reflects the price has been fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. The Company recognizes retail store revenues uponwhen control of the product is transferred at the point of sale of its products to retail consumers,at Company owned stores, including concessions, net of estimated returns. Revenue from sales through the Company’s e-commerce sitesites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of the title and risk of loss areunderlying product is transferred to the

Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for retail revenue, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and currentfuture customer returns.return expectations. Sales taxes collected from retail customers are presented on a net basis and, as such, are excluded from revenue. To arrive at net sales for wholesale revenue, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns, based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates are based on such factors as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and current market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.
The following table details the activity and balances of the Company’s sales reserves for the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016, March 28, 2015,2020, March 30, 2019, and March 29, 201431, 2018 (in millions):

Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing the Company’s tradenamestrademarks at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geography-specificgeographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of the Company’s tradenames to sell its branded products in specific geographic regions.
The adverse impact from the COVID-19 pandemic which includes, but is not limited to, temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, a reduction in retail store traffic, a decline in international tourism and a decrease in consumer consumption is reflected in the Company's Fiscal 2020 total revenue.
Loyalty Program
The Company has a Michael Kors customer loyalty program in the United States, which allows customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards that may be redeemed for purchases at the Company’s retail stores and e-commerce site. The Company allocates a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits using statistical formulas based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3 for additional information.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed when incurredover the period of benefit and are reflectedrecorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing expense was $103.9$201 million, $103.6$158 million and $65.7$167 million in Fiscal 2016,2020, Fiscal 20152019 and Fiscal 2014,2018, respectively.
Cooperative advertising expense, which represents the Company’s participation in advertising expenses of its wholesale customers, is reflected as a reduction of net sales. Expenses related to cooperative advertising for Fiscal 2016,2020, Fiscal 20152019 and Fiscal 2014,2018, were $7.4$7 million, $8.0$8 million and $7.3$6 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
ShippingFreight-in expenses are recorded as part of cost of goods sold, along with product costs and handlingother costs were $98.6 million, $92.6 million and $78.6 millionto acquire inventory. The costs of preparing products for Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively, andsale, including warehousing expenses, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the costs of shipping products to the Company’s e-commerce customers. Shipping and handling costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.operations and comprehensive income were $157 million, $132 million and $129 million for Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total revenue.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of April 2, 2016March 28, 2020 and March 28, 201530, 2019 are credit card receivables of $14.5$4 million and $15.8$24 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days. The decrease in credit card receivables year over year is mainly due to the impact on sales from the COVID-19 pandemic.

74

Inventories
Inventories mainly consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process inventory. The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 were $27 million and $25 million, respectively. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties and freight to bring the goods to the Company’s warehouses, which are located in the United States, Holland, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea.as well as shipments to stores. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory and makes adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of the Company’s inventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand, and market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losslosses are estimated based on historical experience and physical inventory counts. The Company’s inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. Our historical estimates of these adjustments have not differed materially from actual results.
The net realizable value of the Company's inventory as of March 28, 2020 includes the adverse impacts connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the impact from temporary retail store closures, wholesale customer store closures, reductions in retail store traffic, a decline in international tourism and a decrease in consumer consumption.
Store Pre-opening Costs
Costs associated with the opening of new retail stores and start up activities, are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization (carrying value). Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected remaining useful lives of the related assets. Equipment, furniture and fixtures, are depreciated over five to seven years, computer hardware and software are depreciated over three to five yearsyears. The Company’s share of the cost of constructing in-store shop displays within its wholesale customers’ floor-space (“shop-in-shops”), which is paid directly to third-party suppliers, is capitalized as property and in-store shops areequipment and is generally amortized over a useful life of three to fourfive years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term, including highly probable renewal periods. The Company includes all depreciation and amortization expense as a component of total operating expenses, as the underlying long-lived assets are not directly or indirectly related to bringing the Company’s products to their existing location and condition. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the year incurred.
The Company’s share of the cost of constructing in-store shop displays within its wholesale customers’ floor-space (“shop-in-shops”), which is paid directly to third-party suppliers, is capitalized as property and equipment and is generally amortized over a useful life of three or four years.
The Company capitalizes, in property and equipment, direct costs incurred during the application development stage and the implementation stage for developing, purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for its internal use. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally five years. All costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, including project scoping and identification and testing of alternatives, are expensed as incurred.
Finite-LivedDefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s finite-liveddefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trademarks lease rights and customer relationships andwhich are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Trademarks are amortized over twenty years,The Company’s customer relationships are amortized over five years to ten years, and leaseeighteen years. Reacquired rights recorded in connection with the acquisition of MKHKL are amortized overthrough March 31, 2041, the termsoriginal expiration date of the related lease agreements, including highly probable renewal periods, on a straight-line basis.Michael Kors license agreement in the Greater China region. The trademark for the Michael Kors brand is amortized over twenty years.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including fixedoperating lease right-of-use assets, property and finite-livedequipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The Company’s impairment testing is based on its best estimate of its future operating cash flows. IfTo the extent the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, the Company typically recognizes an impairment charge is recognized, which isloss measured asby the amount byin which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. These estimates of cash flowasset, taking into consideration other market assumptions. The fair values determined by management require significant management judgment and include certain assumptions aboutregarding future volume, sales and expense growth rates, devaluationdiscount rates and inflation.estimates of current real estate market values. As such, these estimates may differ from actual cash flows.results and are affected by future market and economic conditions.
75

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company records indefinite-lived intangible assets based on fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The brand intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as the Versace and Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill, isthe Versace brand and the Jimmy Choo brand are assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.

The Company may assess its goodwill and its brand indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment initially using a qualitative approach (“step zero”) to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwillthese assets is greater than itstheir carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of the Company’s businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is not more likely than not that the fair value ofCompany’s goodwill exceeds its carrying value,and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative goodwillimpairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets initially rather than using a qualitative approach.
The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment included a discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requireanalysis which requires the Company’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of the Company’s reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying amountvalue, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying value. To compute the implied fair value, the Company would assign the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill, the Company would record an impairment loss to write down such goodwill to its implied fair value. Theis recorded for the difference. This valuation of goodwill is affected by among other things,certain estimates including the Company’s business plan for the future revenue growth rates, margins and estimated results of future operations.discount rates. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.
There were noWhen performing a quantitative impairment assessment of the Company’s brand indefinite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of the Versace and the Jimmy Choo brands is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the "relief from royalty" method, assuming that a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in lieu of ownership for this intangible asset. This approach is dependent on many factors, including estimates of future growth, royalty rates, and discount rates. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. Impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived brand intangible assets is less than its carrying amount.
The Company recorded impairment charges of $171 million related to the goodwill in anyassociated with the Jimmy Choo Retail and Jimmy Choo Licensing reporting units and $180 million related to the Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible asset during Fiscal 2020. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the fiscal periods presented.year ended March 28, 2020. See Note 119 and Note 14 for information relating to the Company'sCompany’s annual impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016.2020.
Insurance
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for losses related to a number of risks, including workers’ compensation and employee-related health care benefits. The Company also maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit its exposure arising from claims. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the discounted cost for self-insured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions, historical loss experience, actual payroll and other data. Although the Company believes that it can reasonably estimate losses related to these claims, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company also maintains other types of customary business insurance policies, including business interruption insurance. Insurance recoveries represent gain contingencies and are recorded upon actual settlement with the insurance carrier.
76

Share-based Compensation
The Company grants share-based awards to certain employees and directors of the Company. The grant date fair value of share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The closing market price atCompany uses its own historical experience in determining the grant date is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares, restricted shares units (RSUs) and performance RSUs. These fair values are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements.
The Company’s expected volatility is based on the average volatility rates of similar actively traded companies over the Company’s estimated expected holding periods. The expected holding period for performance-based options is based on the period to expiration, which is generally 9-10 years, which directly correlates to the Company’s service period requirement for such options. The expected holding period forand volatility of its time-based options is calculated using the simplified method, which uses the vesting term of the options, generally 4 years, and the contractual term of 7 years, resulting in a holding period of 4.5-4.75 years. The simplified method was chosen as a means to determine the Company’s estimated holding period, as prior to December 2011, the Company was privately held and, as such, there is insufficient historicalshare option exercise experience.awards. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the zero-coupon United States (“U.S.”) Treasury Strips yield curve based on the grant’s estimated holding period. Determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility, expected term and risk-free rate. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions, the fair value of future awards and the resulting share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what the Company has estimated in the past.
The closing market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares, time-based restricted shares units (“RSU”s) and performance-based RSUs. These fair values are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial statements of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) for MKHLCapri and its United States based subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates over the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded separately in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). income. Foreign currency income and losses resulting from the re-measuring of transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity are included in foreign currency loss (gain) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.operations and comprehensive income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these forward currency contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.

In connection with the September 24, 2018 definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Versace, the Company entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the expected closing date of the acquisition, which were settled on December 21, 2018. Likewise, in connection with the July 25, 2017 cash offer to acquire Jimmy Choo, the Company entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contract with a notional amount of £1.115 billion (approximately $1.469 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the expected closing date of the acquisition, which was settled on October 30, 2017. These derivative contracts were not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value are recorded to foreign currency loss (gain) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify cash flows from derivative instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Accordingly, the Company classified $77 million of realized losses and $5 million of realized gains, respectively, relating to these derivative instruments within cash flows from investing activities during Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018.

The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged, and the manner in which hedge effectiveness will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively.hedged. The effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (loss) until the hedged item effectsaffects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (loss) are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis and any portion of the designated hedge contracts deemed ineffective is recorded to foreign currency gain (loss). If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency gain (loss)loss (gain) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.operations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its derivative instrumentsforward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between its U.S. Dollars and these foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12 and has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or (loss) on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense in the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company terminated all of its net investment hedges related to its Euro-denominated subsidiaries. The early termination of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $296 million in cash during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been provided for temporary differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company periodically assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and provides valuation allowances, as deemed necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. The Company’s management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within various taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if the Company’s estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.
The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The tax positions are analyzed periodically (at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments for those positions. The Company records interest expense and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.

Leases
On March 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and Landlord Construction Allowancesa right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. The Company adopted the new standard recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.
The Company leases retail stores, office space retail stores and distribution facilitieswarehouse space under operating lease agreements that are classifiedexpire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual rent and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through May 2024. The Company acts as operating leases. Many of these operating leases include contingent rent provisions (percentage rent), and/or provide forsublessor in certain landlord allowancesleasing arrangements, primarily related to tenant improvements and other relevant items.closed stores under its Michael Kors Retail Fleet Optimization Plan, as defined in Note 11. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The recognitionCompany determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of rent expense for anthe sublease.
The Company recognizes operating lease commences on the earlier of the relatedright-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, orbased on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, of possessionas the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the property. Rentleases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company generally does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense is calculated by recognizing total minimum rental payments (net of any rental abatements, construction allowances and other rental concessions) on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The difference betweenCompany recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line rent expensebasis over the lease term.
The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent, which is classified within short-term and long-term liabilities inother costs associated with the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.leased property. The Company accounts for landlord allowanceslease and incentivesnon-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of deferred rent, which is amortized overnon-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease termright-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as a reductionpercentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of rent expense.real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company records rent expense as a component of selling, generalCompany’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
Debt Issuance Costs and administrative expenses.

Deferred Financing CostsUnamortized Discounts
The Company defers debt issuance costs directly associated with acquiring third party financing. These deferreddebt issuance costs and any discounts on issued debt are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, as interest expense over the term of the related indebtedness. As of April 2, 2016, deferred financing costs were $3.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.4 million. As of March 28, 2015 deferred financing costs were $2.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of $3.6 million. Deferred financing costsfees associated with the Company’s revolving credit facilities are includedrecorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets. Deferred financing fees and unamortized discounts associated with the Company’s other borrowings are recorded as an offset to long-term debt in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12 for additional information.
Net (Loss) Income per Share
The Company’s basic net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net incomeloss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net incomeloss per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”("RSUs"), were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securities are included in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are

included in diluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Accounting
On March 31, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. In November 2015,evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02, the Company considered guidance provided by several additional ASUs issued by the FASB, including ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” in January 2018, ASU 2018-10, “CodificationImprovements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” both issued in July 2018, and ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes2018-20, “Leases (Topic 740)842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” issued in December 2018. In connection with its implementation of ASU 2016-02, the Company adopted the package of three practical expedients, allowing it to carry forward its previous lease classification and embedded lease evaluations and not to reassess initial direct costs as of the date of adoption. The Company also adopted the practical expedient allowing it to combine lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases. Lastly, the Company adopted the practical expedient provided by ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Balance Sheet ClassificationTargeted Improvements,” allowing it to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of Deferred Taxes," retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides new guidance for revenues recognized from contracts with customers, and will replace the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 requires that revenue is recognized at an amount the company is entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to customers, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making it effective for the interim reporting periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, or beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2019. This standard may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The FASB has issued several additional ASUs to provide implementation guidance on ASU No. 2015-14, including ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" issued in March 2016and ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" issued in April 2016. The Company will consider this guidance in evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09.
Lease Accounting
In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”)," which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued several updates to the standard, providing additional guidance on certain topics covered by the standard. This update requires lesseesentities to recognize an allowance for credit losses using a lease liabilityforward-looking expected loss impairment model, taking into consideration historical experience, current conditions, and a right-to-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases.supportable forecasts that impact collectibility. ASU 2016-02No. 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning with the Company's fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted, and must be implemented using a modified restrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period that is presented in the financial statements.its Fiscal 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements but expects that the adoption of this standard will result in a significant increase in assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets.
Share-Based Compensation
In March 2016, the the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvementsupdate is not expected to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which simplifies accounting and presentation of share-based payments, primarily relating to the recognition and classification of excess tax benefits, accounting for forfeitures and tax withholding requirements. ASU 2016-09 is effective beginning with the Company's fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted and different permitted adoption methods for each provision of the standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target under stock-based compensation arrangements that could be achieved after the service period is treated as a performance condition and not reflected in the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, the related compensation cost should be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance targets will be achieved. ASU 2014-12 is effective beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2017, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on itsthe Company's consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations

3. Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifyingrights of the Accountingparties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which simplifiesgoods or services.
The Company sells its products through three primary channels of distribution: retail, wholesale and licensing. Within the accountingretail and wholesale channels, substantially all of the Company’s revenues consist of sales of products that represent a single performance obligation, where control transfers at a point in time to the customer. For licensing arrangements, royalty and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on access provided to the Company’s brands.
The Company has chosen to apply the practical expedient allowing it not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations that have an expected duration of 12 months or less.
Retail
The Company generates sales through directly operated stores and e-commerce throughout the Americas (U.S., Canada and Latin America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and certain parts of Asia. Retail revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at Company owned stores, including concessions. For e-commerce transactions, control is transferred and revenue is recognized when products are delivered to the customer, net of estimated returns. To arrive at net sales for adjustments maderetail, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns, as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns.
Sales tax collected from retail customers are presented on a net basis and, as such, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to provisional amounts recognizedcustomers are included in net sales, with the related costs recorded in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs that are not billed to customers are accounted for as fulfillment costs.
Gift Cards. The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed for merchandise, resulting in a business combination by eliminatingcontract liability upon issuance. Revenue is recognized when the requirementgift card is redeemed or upon “breakage” for the estimated portion of gift cards that are not expected to retrospectively accountbe redeemed. “Breakage” revenue is calculated under the proportional redemption methodology, which considers the historical patterns of redemption in jurisdictions where the Company is not required to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards as unclaimed property. The Company anticipates that substantially all of its outstanding gift cards will be redeemed within the next 12 months. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage”, was $11 million and $13 million as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Loyalty Program. The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors U.S. customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for those adjustmentspurchases at Michael Kors retail stores and requiring such adjustmentse-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” of $2 million and $3 million as of March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively, is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be recognized within the next 12 months.
Wholesale
The Company’s products are sold primarily to major department stores, specialty stores and travel retail shops throughout the Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Company also has arrangements where its products are sold to geographic licensees in certain parts of EMEA, Asia and South America. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, when merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to the Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for wholesale, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates are developed based on historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and market conditions, and are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Unfulfilled, non-cancelable purchase orders for products from wholesale customers (including the Company’s geographic licensees) are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 months.
82

Licensing
The Company provides its third-party licensees with the right to access its Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors trademarks under product and geographic licensing arrangements. Under product licensing arrangements, the Company allows third parties to manufacture and sell luxury goods, including watches and jewelry, fragrances, sunglasses and eyewear, using the Company’s trademarks. Under geographic licensing arrangements, third party licensees receive the right to distribute and sell products bearing the Company’s trademarks in retail and/or wholesale channels within certain geographical areas, including Brazil, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South Africa, certain parts of Asia and Australia.
The Company recognizes royalty revenue and advertising contributions based on the percentage of sales made by the licensees. Advertising contributions are received to support the Company’s branded advertising and marketing campaigns and are viewed as part of a single performance obligation with the right to access the Company’s trademarks. Royalty revenue generated from licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, may be subject to contractual minimum levels, as defined in the reportingcontract. Such minimums are generally fixed annually, based on the previous year’s sales. Licensing revenue is based on reported current period sales of licensed products at rates that are specified in the license agreements for contracts that are expected to exceed the related guaranteed minimums. If the Company expects the minimum guaranteed amounts to exceed amounts calculated based on actual sales, the guaranteed minimums are recognized ratably over the contractual year to which they relate. Generally the Company’s guaranteed minimum royalty amounts due from licensees relate to contractual periods that do not exceed 12 months, however, some of our guaranteed minimums for Versace are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires disclosuresmulti-year based. As of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment wasMarch 28, 2020, contractually guaranteed minimum fees from our license agreements expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows (in millions):

5. Acquisitions
Inventory Valuation
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance requires inventory accounted for using the average cost or first-in first-out method ("FIFO") to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, replacing the current requirement to value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective beginning with the Company's fiscal year 2018 and should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted.

7. Concentration of Credit Risk, Major Customers and Suppliers
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and receivables. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors its concentration of deposits with various financial institutions in order to avoid any undue exposure. The Company mitigates its risk by depositing cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions. The Company also mitigates its credit risk by obtaining insurance coverage for a substantial portion of its receivables (as demonstrated in the above table in “Credit risk assumed by insured/factors”)(see Note 6). For the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016, March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, net sales related to our largest wholesale customer, Macy's, accounted for approximately 12.7%, 13.7% and 14.4%, respectively, of total revenue. The accounts receivable related to this customer were either factored or substantially insured for all three fiscal years. No otherindividual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues during Fiscal 2016,2020, Fiscal 2015,2019 or Fiscal 2014.2018.
The Company contracts for the purchase of finished goods principally with independent third-party contractors, whereby the contractor is generally responsible for all manufacturing processes, including the purchase of piece goods and trim.processes. Although the Company does not have any long-term agreements with any of its manufacturing contractors, the Company believes it has mutually satisfactory relationships with them. The Company allocates product manufacturing among agents and contractors based on their capabilities, the availability of production capacity, quality, pricing and delivery. The inability of certain contractors to provide needed services on a timely basis could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. For Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, one contractor accounted for approximately 20%, 21% and 26%, respectively, of the Company’s total finished goods purchases, based on dollar volume.
The Company also has relationships with various agents who source the Company’s finished goods with numerous contractors on the Company’s behalf.behalf of its Michael Kors brand. For the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016, March 28, 2015Fiscal 2020, Fiscal 2019 and March 29, 2014,Fiscal 2018, one agent sourced approximately 14.9%26%, 11.7%24% and 12.6%, respectively, and one contractor accounted for approximately 26.7%, 29.1% and 30.4%24%, respectively, of the Company’sMichael Kors finished goods, purchases.based on unit volume.

14. Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsMeasurements
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directlyand inputs derived principally from or indirectly through corroboration withcorroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company’s long-term debt obligations are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets at carrying values, which may differ from the related fair values. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and based on other debt instruments with similar characteristics. See Note 12 for detailed information relating to carrying values of the Company’s outstanding debt. The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt, based on Level 2 measurements (in millions):

Borrowings under revolving credit agreements, if outstanding, are recorded at carrying value, which resembles fair value due to the short-term nature of such borrowings.
Non-financialNon-Financial Assets and Liabilities


The Company'sCompany’s non-financial assets include goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. Such assets are reported at their carrying values and are not subject to recurring fair value measurements. The Company'sCompany’s goodwill isand its indefinite-lived intangible assets (Versace and Jimmy Choo brands) are assessed for impairment at least annually, while its other long-lived assets, including fixedoperating lease right-of-use assets, property and finite-livedequipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, the Company recorded impairment charges of $10.9 million, $0.8 million, and $1.3 million, to fully impair certain fixed assets (see Note 6 for additional information). The fair values of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements based onusing the Company'sCompany’s best estimates of the amount and timing of the related stores' future discounted cash flows, based on historical experience, market conditions, current trends and current market conditions.performance expectations.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of its transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to certain forecasted inventory purchases by using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company only enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-rated counterparties. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not currently subject to master netting arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

On September 24, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Versace, the Company entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a total notional amount of €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the expected closing date of the acquisition. These derivative contracts were not designated as accounting hedges and were settled on December 21, 2018 as a result of the debt issued in connection with the acquisition of Versace (see Note 12 for further information). Changes in fair value were recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for Fiscal 2019.
On July 25, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Jimmy Choo, which closed on November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contract with a notional amount of £1.115 billion (approximately $1.469 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the date of the acquisition. This derivative contract was not designated as an accounting hedge and was settled on October 30, 2017. Changes in fair value were recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the Fiscal 2018.
Net Investment Hedges
As of March 28, 2020, the Company had 1 fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of $44 million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen. Under the term of this contract, which has a maturity date of November 2024, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0.89% in Japanese Yen. This contract has been designated as a net investment hedge.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company terminated all of its net investment hedges related to its Euro-denominated subsidiaries. The early termination of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $296 million in cash during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of $211 million being recognized in OCI during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
When a cross-currency swap is used as a hedging instrument in a net investment hedge assessed under the spot method, the cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is recognized as a reduction in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reduction in interest expense of $71 million and $17 million, respectively, during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019.

Performance-based share options may vest based upon the attainment of one of two performance measures. One performance measure is an individual performance target, which is based upon certain performance targets unique to the individual grantee, and the other measure is a company-wide performance target, which is based on a cumulative minimum growth requirement in consolidated net equity. The individual performance target vests 20% of the total option grant eachpro-rata basis over a four year the target is satisfied. The individual has ten years in which to achieve 5 individual performance vesting tranches. The company-wide performance target must be achieved over the ten-year term. Performance is measured at the end of the term, and any unvested options vest if the target is achieved. The Company-wide performance target is established at the time of the grant. The target metrics underlying individual performance vesting requirements are established for each recipient each year up until such time as the grant is fully vested. Options subject to time-based vesting requirements become vested in four equal increments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which such options were awarded.

The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of the provision for income taxes. Interest expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for Fiscal 2016,2020, Fiscal 2015,2019 and Fiscal 20142018 was approximately $1.7$11 million, $1.3$11 million and $0.9$7 million, respectively.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company anticipates that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will be reduced by approximately $1.8$8 million during the next twelve months.12 months, primarily due to the anticipated settlement of a tax examination as well as statute of limitation expirations. However, the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain and changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company’s current estimate to change materially in the future.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to its fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.April 1, 2017.
The Company’s policy with respectPrior to its undistributed earningsthe enactment of the U.S.Tax Cuts and non-U.S.Jobs Act, the Company's undistributed foreign earnings were considered permanently reinvested and, as such, United States federal and state income taxes were not previously recorded on these earnings. As a result of the Tax Act, substantially all of the Company’s earnings in foreign subsidiaries generated prior to the enactment of the Tax Act were deemed to have been repatriated. It remains the Company's intent to either reinvest indefinitely substantially all of its foreign earnings outside of the United States or repatriate them tax neutrally. However, if future earnings are repatriated, the potential exists that the Company may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, including any applicable foreign withholding tax and income taxes. It is not practicable to consider those earnings to be either indefinitely reinvested or able to be repatriated tax-neutral. Undistributed earnings of subsidiaries considered to be either indefinitely reinvested or able to be repatriated tax-neutral amounted to $2.638 billion at April 2, 2016. Determination ofestimate the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. and non-U.S. income tax liability on thosethat might be payable if these earnings which are indefinitely reinvested is not practicable.were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.

19. Agreements with Shareholders and Related Party Transactions
The Company’s Chief Creative Officer, Michael Kors, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, John Idol, and certain of the Company’s former shareholders, including Sportswear Holdings Limited, jointly own Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, a BVI company. On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into certain licensing agreements with certain subsidiaries of Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, including Michael Kors (HK) Limited, (the “Licensees”), which provide the Licensees with certain exclusive rights for use of the Company’s trademarks within China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and to import, sell, advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products in these regions, as well as to own and operate stores which bear the Company’s tradenames. The agreements between the Company and the Licensees expire on March 31, 2041, and may be terminated by the Company at certain intervals if certain minimum sales benchmarks are not met. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, there were approximately $7.6 million, $4.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of royalties earned under these agreements. These royalties were driven by Licensee adjusted net sales (of the Company’s goods) to their customers of approximately $169.8 million, $103.7 million and $36.5 million in Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively, as defined in the licensing agreement. In addition, the Company sells certain inventory items to the Licensees through its wholesale segment at terms consistent with those of similar licensees in the region. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, amounts recognized as net sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations related to these sales, were approximately $62.8 million, $35.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively. As of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, the Company’s total accounts receivable from this related party were $16.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively. See Note 21 for information relating to the Company's acquisition of Michael Kors (HK) Limited on May 31, 2016.
Due to the consolidation of MK Panama during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company’s balance sheet as of April 2, 2016 reflects a $1.0 million long-term loan between EBISA, the Company’s partner in the MK Panama joint venture, and Rosales Development Corp. There is a family relationship between EBISA and Rosales Development Corp. The loan was initiated on November 25, 2014 and bears interest at an annual rate of interest of 5%.
Beginning in the third quarter of Fiscal 2016, an executive officer of our Company shares a household with an employee of one of our suppliers of fixtures for our shop-in-shops, retail stores and showrooms, and therefore, such employee may be deemed to be an immediate family member of the executive officer for purposes of federal securities laws. During Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015, and Fiscal 2014, purchases from this supplier reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements were $3.4 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million respectively. As of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, the accounts payable to this supplier were immaterial.
On October 24, 2014, the Company purchased an aircraft from a former board member (who resigned on September 10, 2014) in the amount of $16.5 million. The purchase price was the fair market value of the aircraft at the purchase date and was no less favorable to the Company than it would have received in an arm’s-length transaction. The aircraft was purchased for purposes of business travel for the Company’s executives, and was recorded as a fixed asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the purchase of this plane, the Company or its Chief Executive Officer arranged for a plane owned by Sportswear Holdings Limited or its affiliates, which was used for the Company’s directors and senior management for purposes of business travel on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than it would receive in an arm’s-length transaction with a third party. To the extent the Company’s Chief Executive Officer entered into such an arrangement for business travel, the Company reimbursed him for the actual market price paid for the use of such plane. The Company chartered this plane from Sportswear Holdings Limited for business purposes, the amounts of which were paid in cash and charged to operating expenses. The Company was charged $1.4 million in connection with these services during each of Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014.
The Company purchases certain inventory from a manufacturer owned by one of its former directors (who resigned on September 10, 2014). Amounts purchased from this manufacturer during Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, were approximately $9.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

23. Subsequent Events
Amendment to Credit Facility
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”), to the 2018 Credit Facility, with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility will be secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries that borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, and substantially all of the registered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries. This requirement for collateral will fall away if the Company achieves an investment grade ratings requirement for two consecutive full fiscal quarters. The Amendment adds a restriction on the disposition of assets and a requirement to prepay the term loans with certain net cash proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment option with respect to up to $100 million of net cash proceeds in the aggregate.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the financial covenant in the Company's 2018 Credit Facility requiring it to maintain a ratio of the sum of total indebtedness plus the capitalized amount of all operating lease obligations for the last four fiscal quarters to Consolidated EBITDAR of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0 has been waived through the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021. When this financial covenant is reinstated, the applicable ratio will be calculated net of the Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to the extent in excess of $100 million and shall exclude up to $150 million of supply chain financings, and the liabilities assumed. Givenmaximum permitted net leverage ratio will be 4.00 to 1.0. In addition, until March 31, 2021, the timingmaterial adverse change representation required to be made in connection with revolving borrowings and the issuance or amendment of letters of credit will be modified to disregard certain COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the acquisition,Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Second Amendment also requires the initial purchase accountingCompany, during the period from June 25, 2020 until it delivers its financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2021, to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus the aggregate undrawn amounts under the revolving facilities under the 2018 Credit Facility of not less than $300 million, increasing to $400 million on October 1, 2020 and $500 million on December 1, 2020.
The 2018 Credit Facility and the Indenture governing the Company's senior notes contain certain restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company, and the Second Amendment imposes incremental restrictions on certain of these covenants during the covenant relief period provided under the 2018 Credit Facility, including restrictions on its ability to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make loans and investments, including acquisitions, sell assets, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
In addition, the Second Amendment adds a new $230 million revolving line of credit that matures on June 24, 2021 (the “364 Day Facility”). The terms of the 364 Day Facility are substantially similar to the terms of the existing revolving facility under the Credit Facility except that (i) no letters of credit or swingline loans are provided and (ii) for loans subject to Adjusted LIBOR, the applicable margin is not complete.


225 basis points per annum, for loans subject to the base rate the applicable margin is 125 basis points per annum and the commitment fee is 35 basis points per annum. In addition, while the 364 Day Facility is outstanding, (i) if the Company incurs any incremental indebtedness under the Credit Facility or certain permitted indebtedness in lieu of such incremental indebtedness, the 364 Day Facility will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis and the Company will be required to make corresponding prepayments and (ii) the Company will be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the 364 Day Facility on a weekly basis to the extent that cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries exceed $200 million.
