In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

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 consolidated financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, sales discounts and doubtful accounts, estimates of gift card breakage, estimates of inventory recovery, business combinations, fair value measurements, the valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of deferred taxes and the valuation of and the estimated useful lives used for amortization and depreciation of intangible assets and property and equipment. 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. The Company reclassified $17.4 millionpresentation, including the realignment of the previously recorded Fiscal 2018 transaction and transition costs related to the acquisition of Jimmy Choo and $11.3 million of transaction costs recorded in Fiscal 2017 in connection with the acquisition of MKHKL from selling, general and administrative expenses to restructuring and other chargesCompany’s segment reporting structure in the Company's consolidated statementsfourth quarter of operations and comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, to provide a more transparent disclosure of these costs.Fiscal 2019, as further described in Note 18.

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 July 25, 2017 recommended cash offer forSeptember 24, 2018 definitive agreement to acquire all of the entire issued and to be issued share capitaloutstanding shares of Jimmy Choo,Versace, the Company entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contractcontracts in September 2018 with a notional amount of £1.115amounts totaling €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk related tothrough the acquisition. Thisclosing date of the acquisition, which were settled on December 21, 2018. These derivative contract wascontracts were not designated as an accounting hedge.hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value were recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company'sCompany’s consolidated statementstatements of operations.operations and comprehensive income. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify cash flows from derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Accordingly, the Company classified the $4.7 million realized gainunrealized gains and losses relating to thisthese derivative instrumentinstruments within cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended December 30, 2017.activities.
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 a 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 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 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)(gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of 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, or within cash flows from operating activities for contracts related to inventory purchases.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 currency 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 income (loss) 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 hedged net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated.

Net Income per Share
The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income 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”), 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.

U.S. Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including, among other things, lowering U.S. statutory federal tax rate and implementing a territorial tax system. As the Company has a March 31 fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of approximately 32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and a 21% U.S. statutory federal tax rate for fiscal years thereafter. The Tax Act also adds 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 ("GILTI"), the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income ("FDII"). The Company is still evaluating the impact of these provisions of the Tax Act, which do not apply until 2019, and thus, has not adjusted any net deferred tax assets of its foreign subsidiaries for the new tax.


As part of the transition to the new territorial tax system, the Tax Act imposes a tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the reduction of the U.S. statutory federal tax rate will cause the Company to re-measure its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, the Company recorded the effects of the tax law change during the three months ended December 30, 2017, which resulted in a provisional charge of $12.4 million, comprised of an estimated deemed repatriation tax charge of $0.3 million and an estimated deferred tax charge of $12.1 million due to the re-measurement of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax assets. Conversely, the Company realized a $2.0 million net benefit for the three and nine month periods ended December 30, 2017 due to the corporate tax rate reductions. While the Tax Act has negatively impacted the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 by approximately 370 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, the lower corporate rate is expected to to result in an ongoing reduced tax rate for the Company.
In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 to provide guidance for companies that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, or any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. In addition, once the Company finalizes certain tax positions when it files its 2017 U.S. tax return, it will be able to conclude whether any further adjustments are required to its deferred tax balances in the U.S., as well as to the total liability associated with the one-time mandatory tax. The Company believes that the analysis performed to date is sufficient to calculate a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Act.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Business CombinationsLease Accounting
In January 2017,On March 31, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business," to clarify the definition of a business in order to allow for the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 during2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the three months ended December 30, 2017, which did not have a materialbalance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. In evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Share-Based Compensation
In March 2016,of ASU 2016-02, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Company considered guidance provided by several additional ASUs issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09,by the FASB, including ASU 2018-01,Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” in January 2018, ASU 2018-10, “CodificationImprovements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,Topic 842, Leaseswhich simplifies accounting and presentationASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” both issued in July 2018, and ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” issued in December 2018. In connection with its implementation of share-based payments, primarily relatingASU 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): Targeted Improvements,” allowing it to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the recognitionopening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating the comparative prior year periods.

The Company’s existing lease obligations, which relate to stores, corporate locations, warehouses, and classificationequipment, are subject to the new standard and resulted in recording of excess tax benefits, accountinglease liabilities and right-of-use assets for forfeitures and tax withholding requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, as required. Accordingly, during the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, excess tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which would have been previously reflected within additional paid-in capital, were recognized within the Company’s provision of income taxes. This change is expected to increase volatility in future provisions for income taxes. In addition, the Company eliminated windfall tax benefits from the treasury stock method calculation used to compute its diluted earnings per share. Both of the above changes have been adoptedoperating leases on a prospective basis, whereas cash flows related to excess tax benefits, previously reflected within financing activities, have been presented within operating activities within the Company’s consolidated statementsbalance sheet.

The FASB has issued several additional ASUs to provide implementation guidance on ASU No. 2014-09, including ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” issued in December 2016, ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” issued in May 2016, ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” issued in April 2016, and ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” issued in March 2016 . The Company is considering this guidance in evaluatingnot required to remit the impactvalue of ASU 2014-09.
Most of our business is comprised of retail and wholesale operations, where revenue is recognized at a point of time. The Company has completed the initial assessment of the new standard and is currently progressing in its implementation. While the evaluation process is not complete, based on our assessment to date, the Company believes that some of the potential impacts of implementing this standard will include the timing of revenue recognition for its licensing royalties, recognition of breakage revenue for unredeemed gift cards as wellunclaimed property. The contract liability related to gift cards, net of estimated “breakage,” was $13 million as expanded financial statement disclosures,of both December 28, 2019 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 customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-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 $4 million and $3 million as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively, is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the consolidated statements of operations 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.
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 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. 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 multi-year based. As of December 28, 2019, contractually guaranteed minimum fees from our license agreements expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows (in millions):

4. Leases
The Company currently anticipates adopting this standard usingleases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire 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 modified retrospective methodpayment 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 February 2024. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its Retail Fleet Optimization Plan, as defined in Note 10. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.
The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, based 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, as 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 leases, the economic environment of the leases, and reflect the rate it would pay 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 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 Company recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
14


The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the cumulative adjustmentleased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of non-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of 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’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

The following tables summarizes the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate related to the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.
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 withas of December 28, 2019:

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 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.
Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment analysis, while retaining the option to perform an initial qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is required. ASU 2017-04 is effective in the Company’s Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.


Share-Based Compensation

13. Fair Value Measurements
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-basemarket-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 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

14. 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 does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

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 in September 2018 with notional amounts totaling €1.680 billion (approximately $2.001 billion) to mitigate its foreign currency exchange risk through the closing date of the acquisition, which were settled on December 21, 2018. These derivative contracts were not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value were recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify cash flows from derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Accordingly, the Company classified the unrealized gains and losses relating to these derivative instruments within cash flows from investing activities.
Net Investment Hedges
As of December 28, 2019, the Company had multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $3.190 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated subsidiaries and $44 million to hedge its net investment in Japanese Yen-denominated subsidiaries against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollar and these currencies. Under the terms of these contracts, which have maturity dates between January 2022 and June 2026, the Company will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments on U.S. denominated debt for fixed rate payments of 0% to 1.674% in Euros and 0.89% in Japanese Yen. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.
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 $19 million and $53 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 and $3 million and $7 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018.

The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $11.62 and $13.79, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of service-based and performance-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended December 30, 201728, 2019 was $37.33$33.89 and $34.68,$33.86, respectively, and $50.08$67.03 and $49.88,$67.52, respectively, during the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of its share option awards. Beginning in Fiscal 2018, the Company started using its own historical experience in determining the expected holding period and volatility of its time-based share option awards. In prior periods, the Company used the simplified method for determining the expected life of its options and average volatility rates of similar actively traded companies over the estimated holding period, due to insufficient historical option exercise experience as a public company. The following table presents assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the nine months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Due to the reduction in the corporate tax rate introduced by the Tax Act enacted on December 22, 2017 (see Note 2 for additional information), the Company has realized a net tax deficit during the three months ended December 30, 2017, as the benefit of the tax deduction was revalued to the lower tax rate during this period.
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on its historical forfeiture rate to date.rates. The estimated value of future forfeitures for equity grants as of December 30, 201728, 2019 is approximately $7.6$9 million.

See Note 1517 in the Company’s Fiscal 20172019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Company’s share-based compensation awards.



16.17. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 are a benefit of 2.0% and 0.6%, respectively. Such rates differ from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable impact of recognizing benefits from the resolution of uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments in the United States and Europe, which resulted in a decrease to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019. In addition, the Company had favorable effects related to global financing activities. The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized a lower effective tax rate.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 were a provision of 17.4% and 12.7%, respectively. Such rates differed from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to the favorable effects of global financing arrangements and the favorable impact of tax benefits recognized on share-based compensation during the quarter.

As such, the Company now operates its business through four reportable3 operating segments—MK Retail, MK Wholesale, MK LicensingVersace, Jimmy Choo and Jimmy Choo—Michael Kors, which are based on its business activities and organization. The reportable segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are revenue and operating income for each segment. The Company does not have identifiable assets separated by segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent channelscomponents of distributionthe business that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies.
The Company's fourCompany’s 3 reportable segments are as follows:

Michael Kors — segment includes revenue generated through the sale of Michael Kors products through 4 primary Michael Kors retail store formats: “Collection” stores, “Lifestyle” stores (including concessions), outlet stores and e-commerce sites, through which the Company sells Michael Kors products, as well as licensed products bearing the Michael Kors name, directly to the end consumer throughout the Americas, Europe and certain parts of Asia. The Company also sells Michael Kors products directly to department stores, primarily located across the Americas and Europe, to specialty stores and travel retail shops, and to its geographic licensees. 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.
In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has certain corporate costs that are not directly attributable to its brands and, therefore, are not allocated to segments. Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, and information systems expenses, including enterprise resource planning system implementation costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges (including transition costs related to the Company’s recent acquisitions) and impairment costs. The segment structure is consistent with how the Company’s CODM plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. Corporate overhead expenses are allocated to the segments based upon specific usage or other allocation methods.

17. 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 owned Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, a BVI company, prior to the Company’s acquisition of MKHKL on May 31, 2016, which eliminated their ownership interests. On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into certain licensing agreements with certain subsidiaries of Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, including MKHKL, (the “Licensees”), which provided 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 bearing the Company’s tradenames. The agreements between the Company and the Licensees were scheduled to expire on March 31, 2041 and could be terminated by the Company at certain intervals if minimum sales benchmarks were not met. Royalties earned under these agreements were approximately $1.2 million during the two months ended May 31, 2016 preceding the acquisition. These royalties were driven by Licensee sales (of the Company’s goods) to their customers of approximately $28.9 million during the two months ended May 31, 2016 preceding the acquisition. In addition, the Company sold certain inventory items to the Licensees through its wholesale segment at terms consistent with those of similar licensees in the region. During the two-month period ended May 31, 2016 preceding the acquisition, amounts recognized as revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income related to these sales were approximately $7.9 million. Please refer to Note 3 for information relating to the Company’s acquisition of MKHKL on May 31, 2016.
A former executive officer of the Company (who is no longer a related party as of October 31, 2016) is married to a former employee of one of the Company’s suppliers of fixtures for its shop-in-shops, retail stores and showrooms. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, purchases from this supplier reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements were $1.128, 2019 and $869 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
18. Non-cash Investing Activities

As of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 20172019, the Company's total assets were $8.325 billion and $6.650 billion, respectively. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. As of December 28, 2019, the Company had operating lease right-of-use assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets of $1.665 billion, of which $1.060 billion related to Michael Kors, $379 million related to Versace, and $226 million related to Jimmy Choo.

19. Subsequent Events
Acquisition of Alberto Gozzi S.r.L.
On December 16, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Italian atelier and shoe manufacturer Alberto Gozzi S.r.L. The transaction was completed in the Company's fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
Coronavirus
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, there has been an outbreak of coronavirus in China which the Company expects will materially impact its financial results. As of February 5, 2020, approximately 150 of the fair valuesCompany’s stores in Mainland China were closed. Additionally, most of the net assets acquired in connectionstores that remain open are operating with reduced hours and experiencing significantly reduced customer traffic. While this global health emergency is expected to be temporary, the Company’s acquisitionduration and intensity of the Jimmy Choo business on November 1, 2017disruption is uncertain, including potential broader impacts outside of China if travel and tourist traffic is further restricted and there is a resulting decline in Chinese tourist spending in other regions. Given the Greaterdynamic nature of these circumstances, the related financial impact for the fourth quarter could materially differ from our current expectations.
In addition, the Company sources finished goods inventory from manufacturers in China business on May 31, 2016, respectively. See Note 3 for additional information.the Michael Kors brand. As a result of potential factory closures, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and potential disruption of transportation of goods produced in China, the Company may be unable to obtain inventory or samples sourced from this region, which may materially impact Fiscal 2021. Given the uncertainty regarding these circumstances, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
There were no other significant non-cash investing or financing activities during the fiscal periods presented.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Establishing brand identity and enhancing global presence. We intend to grow our international presence through the formation of aour global fashion luxury group, bringing together industry-leading fashion luxury brands. As mentioned above, on November 1, 2017, we completedWe believe that our acquisitionrecent acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo for a total transaction value of $1.447 billion (see Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). Jimmy Choo has a rich history as a leading global luxury house, renowned for its glamorous and fashion-forward footwear, and is an excellent complement to the Michael Kors brand. We believe this combination further strengthenssignificantly strengthen our future growth opportunities, while also increasing both product and geographic diversification. However, there are risks associated with a new acquisitionacquisitions and the anticipated benefits of the acquisitionacquisitions on our financial results may not be in line with our expectations.
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 to better manage our growth opportunities in the related regions. On May 31, 2016, we acquired the previously licensed business in the Greater China region ("MKHKL"), which has operations in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
See Note 35 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our recent acquisitions.
Channel Shift and 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. Although the overall consumer spending for personal luxury products has recently increased, consumer shopping preferences have continued to shift from luxury products to luxury experiences. In addition, 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. During Fiscal 2017, we began to strategically reduce shipments of Michael Kors products to decrease promotional activity within our wholesale channel, which we believe is necessary to appropriately position the Michael Kors brand long-term. In addition, we have been strategically reducing promotional activity within our full-price retail stores. We continue to adjust our operating strategy to the changing business environment and on May 31, 2017, we announced that weenvironment. We have made significant progress toward our plan to close between 100 and 125150 of our Michael Kors full-price retail stores over the next two yearsat an expected total one-time cost of approximately $100 - $125 million, in order to improve the profitability of our Michael Kors retail store fleet (“Retail Fleet Optimization Plan”). Over this time period,As of December 28, 2019, we expectclosed a total of 129 stores at a cost of $100 million to incur approximately $100 - $125date and recorded restructuring charges of $6 million and $10 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. We anticipate finalizing the remainder of one-time costs associated with thesethe planned store closures.closures under the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan by the end of Fiscal 2020. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing annual savings of approximately $60 million as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation and amortization associated with the impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018. During the three months and nine months ended December 30, 2017, we closed 24 of our Michael Kors full-price retail stores under the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan, which resulted in restructuring charges of $2.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, recorded within restructuring and other charges in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.once these initiatives are completed.


Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, and those of our non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended December 30, 2017, our results have been positively impacted by the strengthening ofdollar, particularly the Euro, the British Pound, the Canadian Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi, relative to the U.S. Dollar of 9%, 7%, 5% and 3%, respectively, partially offset by a decline in the value of the Japanese Yen, relative to the U.S. Dollar of 4%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended December 30, 2017, our results have been positively impacted by the strengthening of the EuroKorean Won and the Canadian Dollar, relative to the U.S. Dollar of 4% and 2%, respectively, partially offset by the declines in value of the Japanese Yen of 5%, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016.among others. We continue to expect significant volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in the future, when translated to U.S. 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. 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.
U.S. Tax Reform. On December 22, 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including, among other things, lowering U.S. statutory federal tax rate and implementing a territorial tax system. As we have a March 31 fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of approximately 32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and a 21% U.S. statutory federal tax rate for fiscal years thereafter. The Tax Act also adds 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 ("GILTI"), the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income ("FDII"). We are still evaluating the impact of these provisions of the Tax Act, which do not apply until 2019, and thus, have not adjusted any net deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries for the new tax.
As part of the transition to the new territorial tax system, the Tax Act imposes a tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the reduction of the U.S. statutory federal tax rate will cause us to re-measure our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, we recorded the effects of the tax law change during the three months ended December 30, 2017, which resulted in a provisional charge of $12.4 million, comprised of an estimated deemed repatriation tax charge of $0.3 million and an estimated deferred tax charge of $12.1 million due to the re-measurement of our net U.S. deferred tax assets. Conversely, we realized a $2.0 million net benefit for the three and nine month periods ended December 30, 2017 due to the corporate tax rate reductions. While the Tax Act has negatively impacted our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 by approximately 370 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, the lower corporate rate is expected to to result in a benefit to our effective tax rate for the next fiscal year of 300 to 400 basis points, which we plan to reinvest in our business.
37

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 to provide guidance for companies that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, or any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. In addition, once we finalize certain tax positions when it files its 2017 U.S. tax return, we will be able to conclude whether any further adjustments are required to our deferred tax balances in the U.S., as well as to the total liability associated with the one-time mandatory tax. We believe that the analysis performed to date is sufficient to calculate a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Act.



Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. 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 use certain assumptions that are based uponon our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based uponon analysis of available information, including current and historical factors current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, we adopted the new accounting guidance related to lease accounting, as described in Note 2 and Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, our existing lease obligations, which relate to stores, corporate locations, warehouses and equipment, will be recorded as a lease liability and right-of-use asset for operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, adoption of this standard significantly increased the Company’s total assets and total liabilities. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in full in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017.March 30, 2019. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since April 1, 2017,March 30, 2019, other than described below.
Share-Based Compensation
We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of its share option awards. Beginning in Fiscal 2018, we started using our own historical experience in determining the expected holding period and volatility of our time-based share option awards. In prior periods, we used the simplified method for determining the expected life of our options and average volatility rates of similar actively traded companies over the estimated holding period, due to insufficient historical option exercise experience as a public company.

Jimmy Choo
The Jimmy Choo business was acquired and consolidated by the Company beginning on November 1, 2017.

General Definitions for Operating Results
Total revenue consists of sales from comparable retail stores and e-commerce sites and non-comparable retail stores and e-commerce sites, net of returns and markdowns, as well as those made to our wholesale customers, net of returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances. Additionally, revenue includes royalties and other contributions earned on sales of licensed products by our licensees as well as contractual royalty rates for the use of our trademarks in certain geographic territories.
Comparable store net sales include sales from a retail store or an e-commerce site that has been operating for one full year after the end of the first month of its operation under our ownership. For stores that are closed, sales that were made in the final month of their operations (assuming closure prior to the fiscal month’s end), are excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales. Additionally, sales for stores that are either relocated, or expanded by a square footage of 25% or greater, in any given fiscal year, are also excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales at the time of their move or interruption, until such stores have been in their new location, or 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 presented on a 52-week basis. Comparable store sales are reported on a global basis, which 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.
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory sold and related duties and tariffs, freight-in on merchandise and foreign currency exchange gains/losses related to designated forward contracts for purchase commitments. All retail operating and occupancy costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (see below), and, as a result, our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to that of other entities that have chosen to include some or all of those expenses as a component of their cost of goods sold.
Gross profit is total revenue minus cost of goods sold. As a result of retail operating 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 expenses as a component of their gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of warehousing and distribution costs, rent for our distribution centers, 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.expenses, as well as sublease income. Selling, general and administrative expenses include charges that are not allocated to our reportable segments.

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of fixedproperty and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets.
Impairment of long-lived assets consists of charges to write-down fixedoperating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets to fair value. Impairment charges are not allocated to our reportable segments.
Restructuring and other charges includes store closure costs recorded in connection with the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan and other restructuring initiatives, as well as transaction and transition costs recorded in connection with our acquisitions of Versace and Jimmy Choo and MKHKL businesses (please refer to(see Note 35 and Note 810 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). Restructuring and other charges are not allocated to our reportable segments.
Income from operations consists of gross profit minus total operating expenses.
Other (income) expense, net includes insurance settlements and proceeds received related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts and rental income from our owned distribution center in Europe.efforts. In future periods, it may include any other miscellaneous activities not directly related to our operations.
Interest expense, net represents interest and fees on our revolving credit facilities, senior notes, term loan 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 and original issue discount, offset by interest earned on highly liquid investments (investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, classified as cash equivalents) and interest on cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges (see Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign currency loss/(gain)/loss 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 monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our subsidiaries.
Noncontrolling interests/Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of the equity ownership in the Michael Kors Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries (“MK Panama”), as well as the portion of the equity ownershipnoncontrolling interests in the Jimmy Choo Middle East Joint Venture, JC Industry S.r.L ("JCI"), and JC Gulf Trading LLC, ("JC Gulf")as well as in J.

Our comparable store sales benefited approximately 170 basis points from the inclusion of e-commerce sales in comparable store sales. On a constant currency basis, our comparable store sales decreased $39.8 million, or 5.2%.

Our non-comparable store sales increased $33.8 million during the three months ended December 30, 2017, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $2.2 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, other income of $4.1 million was primarily comprised of $3.8 million in insurance settlements related to the prior-year disruption to our former third party operated e-commerce fulfillment center.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $4.9 million to $8.3 million during the three months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to higher interest expense on long-term borrowings used to finance the acquisition of Jimmy Choo during the three months ended December 30, 2017 (see Note 9 for additional information).
Foreign Currency Loss
During the three month periods ended December 30, 2017, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $27.0 million, which primarily included a $32.0 million loss related to a forward foreign currency exchange derivative contract to hedge the Jimmy Choo transaction price (please refer to Note 3 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information), partially offset by the remeasurement of intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized $58.9 million of income tax expense during the three months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $70.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 30, 2017, was 21.2%, compared to 20.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the impacts of the Tax Act enacted in the United States that were recorded during the three months ended December 30, 2017. This net increase is comprised of the write down of our deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act’s reduction in the base corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, partially offset by the current tax benefit of the rate reduction on our annualized effective tax rate. Additionally this increase was offset due to the favorable effect of global financing activities. 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 our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Accordingly, due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, we realized a lower effective tax rate. The impact on our effective tax rate was higher in Fiscal 2018 than in Fiscal 2017 because the debt financing arrangement produced the same tax impact on reduced pre-tax income.
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 impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Income Attributable to MKHL
As a result of the foregoing, our net income attributable to MKHL decreased $51.9 million, or 19.1%, to $219.4 million during the three months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $271.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Total Revenue
Total revenue increased $110.2 million, or 3.2%, to $3.539 billion for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $3.429 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $26.4 million primarily related to the strengthening of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the the Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $83.8 million, or 2.4%. Total revenue for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 includes approximately $114.7 million of incremental revenue attributable to Jimmy Choo, which was acquired on November 1, 2017 and consolidated into the Company’s results of operations effective November 1, 2017. The increase in total revenue was also due to increased revenue from our Michael Kors retail business of $114.4 million, which was offset by a decrease in Michael Kors Wholesale revenues of $121.7 million.

Revenue from our Michael Kors retail stores increased $114.4 million, or 5.7%, to $2.111 billion for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $1.997 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $14.3 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue from our retail stores increased $100.1 million, or 5.0%. We operated 848 Michael Kors retail stores, including concessions, as of December 30, 2017, compared to 816 Michael Kors retail stores, including concessions, as of December 31, 2016.
During the nine months ended December 30, 2017, our comparable store sales decreased $62.1 million, or 3.5%, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $14.6 million. Our comparable store sales benefited approximately 250 basis points from the inclusion of e-commerce sales in comparable store sales. On a constant currency basis, our comparable store sales decreased $76.7 million, or 4.3%. The decrease in our comparable store sales was primarily attributable to lower sales from our women’s accessories, watches and jewelry product categories, offset in part by higher sales from men’s apparel and women's apparel and footwear during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Our non-comparable store sales increased $176.5 million during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $0.3 million. On a constant currency basis, non-comparable store sales increased $176.8 million. The increase in non-comparable store sales was primarily attributable to operating 32 additional stores since December 31, 2016. Our Greater China business acquired on May 31, 2016 contributed incremental revenues of approximately $42.0 million to non-comparable store sales for the nine months ended December 30, 2017.
MK Wholesale
Revenue from our Michael Kors wholesale customers decreased $121.7 million, or 9.2%, to $1.198 billion for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $1.320 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of approximately $12.1 million. On a constant currency basis, our wholesale revenue decreased $133.8 million, or 10.1%. The decrease in our wholesale revenue was primarily attributable to our strategic reduction in shipments of Michael Kors products to decrease promotional activity within our wholesale channel, as previously described,which resulted in lower women’s accessories and footwear sales during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Approximately $7.9 million of the decrease in wholesale revenue was due to the absence of the prior period wholesale sales to our former licensee in Greater China.
MK Licensing
Royalties earned on our Michael Kors licensing agreements increased $2.8 million, or 2.5%, to $115.2 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $112.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to higher licensing royalties related to Michael Kors ACCESS watches and eyewear, partially offset by lower licensing revenues related to sales of fashion watches, the absence of licensing revenues from our previously licensed business in Greater China due to our acquisition of the related operations, and lower licensing revenues related to sales of fragrance, jewelry and connected jewelry (which has been discontinued).
Jimmy Choo
The Jimmy Choo business acquired on November 1, 2017 contributed approximately $114.7 million to our total revenue for the nine months ended December 30, 2017.


Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $107.8 million, or 5.3%, to $2.150 billion for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $2.042 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, which included net favorable foreign currency effects of $16.7 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 120 basis points to 60.7% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to 59.5% during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in our gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a favorable channel mix due to a higher proportion of retail sales than in the prior fiscal year period and an increase in gross profit margin from our retail segment of 210 basis points, primarily driven by favorable geographic mix of sales and lower cost of goods. The increase in gross profit margin was partially offset by a decrease of 230 basis points in our wholesale segment gross margin, primarily driven by increased allowances and unfavorable geographic mix, partially offset by lower costs of goods during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $178.3 million, or 13.6%, to $1.488 billion during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $1.309 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Our operating expenses included a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $12.7 million. Total operating expenses increased to 42.0% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to 38.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $137.4 million, or 12.2%, to $1.267 billion during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $1.130 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the following:
incremental costs of $52.7 million associated with our newly acquired Jimmy Choo business, which has been consolidated in our operations beginning on November 1, 2017;
an increase of $33.4 million in retail store and overhead costs (excluding newly acquired businesses), primarily comprised of increased occupancy costs of $16.8 million and increased advertising costs of $12.2 million;
incremental expenses of approximately $22.3 million due to the inclusion of the Greater China business acquired on May 31, 2016 for the full period during the nine months ended December 30, 2017; and
an increase of $13.1 million in corporate allocated and corporate occupancy expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 35.8% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to 33.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to expenses associated with the newly acquired Jimmy Choo business, as well as higher retail store related expenses as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $12.6 million, or 7.8%, to $149.9 million during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $162.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to fixed asset impairment charges recorded in Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018. The depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 included incremental depreciation and amortization of $5.8 million related to the newly acquired Jimmy Choo business, as well as $5.7 million of incremental depreciation and amortization expenses due to the inclusion of the Greater China business for the full period during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, both including amortization of the respective purchase accounting adjustments. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 4.2% as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to 4.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During the nine months ended December 30, 2017, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $18.9 million, which were related to underperforming Michael Kors retail store locations, some of which will be closed as part of our previously announced Retail Fleet Optimization Plan (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized fixed asset impairment charges of approximately $5.4 million, $4.9 million of which were related to underperforming Michael Kors retail store locations and $0.5 million related to our Michael Kors wholesale locations.


Restructuring and Other Charges
During the nine months ended December 30, 2017, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $51.3 million, which were comprised of $39.6 million of transaction costs and $3.4 million of transition costs recorded in connection with the Jimmy Choo acquisition and restructuring charges of $8.3 million recorded in connection with the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan (see Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded $11.3 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of the Greater China business.
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations decreased $70.5$85 million, or 9.6%29.3%, to $662.0$205 million during three months ended ended December 28, 2019, compared to $290 million for the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $732.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.29, 2018.

Income from operations as a percentage of retail revenue increased 50 basis points from 15.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 to 16.2% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017. The increase in retail income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales was primarily due to a 210 basis point increase in gross profit margin, as previously discussed, partially offset by increase intotal operating expenses as a percentage of retail revenue of approximately 170 basis points during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of retail revenue was primarily due to increased fixed asset impairment charges, higher retail store related costs, restructuring charges and allocated transaction and transition costs in connection with the Jimmy Choo acquisition recorded during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, offset in part by lower depreciation expenses.
MK Wholesale
Income from operations for our MK Wholesale segment decreased $103.6 million, or 28.2%, to $263.6 million during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $367.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Income from operations as a percentage of wholesale revenue decreased approximately 580 basis points from 27.8% during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 to 22.0% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, which was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of wholesale revenue of approximately 350 basis points, as well as a 230 basis point decrease in our wholesale gross profit margin, as previously discussed. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of wholesale sales was primarily attributable to increased corporate allocated expenses, including transaction and transition costs associated with the Jimmy Choo acquisition, as well as a deleverage in other operating expenses due to lower wholesale revenue.


MK Licensing
Income from operations for our MK Licensing segment increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, to $51.1 million during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, compared to $50.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue decreased 90 basis points from 45.3% during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 to 44.4% during the nine months ended December 30, 2017. The decrease in licensing income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue was attributable to increased operating expenses as a percentage of licensing revenue during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to increased allocated transaction and transition expenses associated with the Jimmy Choo acquisition, partially offset by lower advertising costs as a percentage of licensing revenue.
Jimmy Choo
The Jimmy Choo business acquired on November 1, 2017 contributed approximately $5.7 million to our income from operations for the nine months ended December 30, 2017 (after amortization of non-cash purchase accounting adjustments and transaction and transition related costs).
Other Income, net
During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, other income of $4.7 million was primarily comprised of $3.8 million in insurance settlements related to the prior-year disruption to our former third party operated e-commerce fulfillment center, as well as $0.6 million of income related to our anti-counterfeiting efforts.income.

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss
WeDuring the three months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized a net foreign currency gain of $14.7$2 million, during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, which primarily included a $4.7 million realized gain related to a forward foreign currency exchange derivative contract to hedge the transaction price (please refer to Note 3 and Note 12attributable to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information), as well as net gains on 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 dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
The foreign currency loss of $2.2 million recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were primarily attributable to net losses on 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 remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries. These losses were partially offset by favorable mark-to-market adjustments on our

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized $119.9$4 million of income tax benefit during the three months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $42 million of income tax expense duringfor the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017, compared with $151.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.29, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017,28, 2019, was 18.0%a benefit of 2.0%, compared to 20.8%a provision of 17.4% for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2016.29, 2018. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily duerelated to the favorable effectimpact of global financing activitiesrecognizing benefits from the resolution of uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments in the United States and Europe, as well as the impact of the change in the geographic mix of earnings during the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017. The global financing activities are related28, 2019, compared to our previously disclosed 2014 move of our principal executive office from Hong Kong to the 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 our U.S., U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries in December 2015. Accordingly, due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, we realized a lower effective tax rate. The impact on our effective tax rate was higher in Fiscal 2018 than in Fiscal 2017 because the debt financing arrangement produced the same tax impact on a reduced pre-tax income. During the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017, our effective tax rate was increased by the impacts of the Tax Act, comprised of the write down of our deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act’s reduction in the base corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%,29, 2018. These decreases were partially offset by the currentunfavorable impact of tax benefit of the rate reductiondeficits recognized on our annualized effective tax rate.


shared-based compensation.
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 impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
During the ninethree months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,28, 2019, we recorded a net lossesloss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures of $0.2$1 million. This loss represents the share of income that is not attributable to the Company.
Net Income Attributable to Capri
As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $10 million, or 5.0%, to $210 million during the three months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $200 million for the three months ended December 29, 2018.

The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales of women's accessories and $1.0watches and a decrease in comparable store sales of $17 million.

Our comparable store sales benefited approximately 180 basis points from the inclusion of e-commerce sales.

Total Revenue
Total revenue increased $465 million, or 11.9%, to $4.359 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $3.894 billion for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately $41 million, primarily related to the weakening of the Euro, the Chinese Renminbi, the British Pound, and the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 as compared to the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased $506 million, or 13.0%. Total revenue for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 includes approximately $630 million of incremental revenue attributable to Versace, which was acquired and consolidated into our results of operations effective December 31, 2018, offset in part by lower revenue from our Michael Kors business, as compared to the prior year.
45


Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $253 million, or 10.6%, to $2.640 billion for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $2.387 billion for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of $27 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased 70 basis points to 60.6% during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to 61.3% during the nine months ended December 29, 2018. The decrease in our gross profit margin was primarily attributable to lower gross profit for Michael Kors primarily driven by increased markdowns during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended December 29, 2018, partially offset by the inclusion of Versace, which benefited our gross margin 100 basis points.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $604 million, or 35.7%, to $2.296 billion during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $1.692 billion for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, which included incremental operating expenses of $427 million associated with the recently acquired Versace business. Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $37 million. Total operating expenses increased to 52.7% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to 43.5% for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increase $385 million, or 26.3%, to $1.851 billion during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $1.466 billion for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to incremental costs of $381 million associated with the recently acquired Versace business, which has been consolidated in our operations beginning on December 31, 2018.
Corporate unallocated expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased $49 million, or 75.4%, to $114 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 as compared to $65 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, primarily attributable to the inclusion of ERP system implementation costs in the current year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increase to 42.5% during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to 37.6% for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, primarily due to the inclusion of expenses associated with the Versace business and increased retail store and e-commerce related costs as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended December 29, 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $28 million, or 17.5%, to $188 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $160 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to incremental depreciation and amortization expense of $46 million attributable to the Versace business (including amortization of purchase accounting adjustments), partially offset by lower depreciation due to previously recorded property and equipment impairment charges. Depreciation and amortization increased to 4.3% as a percentage of total revenue during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to 4.1% for the nine months ended December 29, 2018.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $220 million, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets as part of our quarterly impairment assessments (see Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $17 million, which were related to underperforming Michael Kors retail store locations, which related to closures as part of our Retail Fleet Optimization Plan.
Restructuring and Other Charges
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $37 million, which included restructuring charges of $11 million, primarily related to Jimmy Choo lease-related charges and our Retail Fleet Optimization Plan, and other costs of $26 million. The other costs recorded during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 included $18 million related to the acquisition of Versace and $8 million in connection with the Jimmy Choo acquisition (see Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
46


During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, we recognized restructuring and other charges of $49 million, which were primarily comprised of $35 million of other costs and restructuring charges of $14 million primarily recorded in connection with our Retail Fleet Optimization Plan. The other costs recorded during the nine months ended December 29, 2018 included $20 million in connection with the Jimmy Choo acquisition and $15 million in connection with the acquisition of Versace. Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments’ results (See Segment Information above for additional information).
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations decreased $351 million or 50.5%, to $344 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $695 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 7.9% during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to 17.8% for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 (see Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income).
Interest Expense,net
Interest expense, net decreased $2 million to $19 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $21 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, primarily due to a reduction to interest expense related to the cross-currency swap used in the net investment hedge during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended December 29, 2018, largely offset by increased interest expense attributable to higher average borrowings outstanding in the current year (see Note 11 and Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency Loss
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $4 million, primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, we recognized a net foreign currency loss of $79 million, primarily attributable to a $77 million realized loss related to forward foreign currency exchange derivative contracts to hedge the transaction price of the Versace acquisition.
(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized $2 million of income tax benefit during the nine months ended December 28, 2019, compared to $76 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 28, 2019, was a benefit of 0.6%, compared to a provision of 12.7% for the nine months ended December 29, 2018. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily related to the favorable impact of recognizing benefits from the resolution of uncertain tax positions and return to provision adjustments in the United States and Europe, as well as the impact of the change in the geographic mix of earnings during the nine months ended December 28, 2019 compared to the nine months ended December 29, 2018. These decreases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of tax deficits recognized on shared-based compensation.
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 impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
During the nine months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, we recorded a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint ventures in each period of $1 million. These losses represent the share of income that is not attributable to the Company.
Net Income Attributable to MKHLCapri
As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased $31.5$196 million, or 5.4%37.4%, to $547.8$328 million during the nine months ended December 30, 2017,28, 2019, compared to $579.3$524 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2018.

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 facilities (see below discussion regarding “Revolving Credit Facilities”) and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund our ongoing cash requirements, including working capital requirements, acquisitions, debt repayments, investment in information systems infrastructure, global retail store construction, expansion and renovation, investment in information systems infrastructure, our distribution and corporate facilities, construction and renovation of shop-in-shops, share repurchases and other corporate activities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility 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. We spent $83.8$164 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 30, 2017, and expect to spend approximately $90 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of Fiscal 2018.28, 2019.

ITEM 3. 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 goods soldsales 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 of those contracts deemed ineffective would be charged to earnings, in the period the ineffectiveness was determined.
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. dollarDollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all designated foreign currency exchange contracts relating to purchases of inventory outstanding as of December 30, 2017,28, 2019, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. dollarDollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of December 30, 2017,28, 2019, would result in a net increase orand decrease, respectively, of $17.0approximately $17 million in the fair value of these contracts.
Net Investment Hedges
We are exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements related to interest from our net investment hedges. As of December 28, 2019, the net investment hedges have aggregate notional amounts of $3.190 billion to hedge our net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries, and $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 these currencies. Under the terms of these contracts, which mature between January 2022 and June 2026, we will exchange the semi-annual fixed rate payments made under our Senior Notes for fixed rate payments of 0% to 1.674% in Euros and 0.89% in Japanese Yen. Based on all net investment hedges outstanding as of December 28, 2019, a 10% appreciation or devaluation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates under contract as of December 28, 2019, would result in a potential net cash increase or decrease upon settlement of approximately $329 million in the fair value of these contracts, which have staggered maturities of 3 to 7 years.
54


Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility, our 20172018 Credit Facility, our Hong Kong Credit Facility, and our Japan Credit Facility and our Versace Credit Facility. Our 2018 Term Loan Facility carries interest at a rate that is based on LIBOR. Our 20172018 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), as further described in Note 911 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 December 30, 2017,28, 2019, we had $548.2$503 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under our 2018 Credit Facility and $1.119 billion, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan Facility and no$45 million outstanding under our Versace Credit Facilities. At March 30, 2019, we had $539 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under our 20172018 Credit Facility, $1.570 billion, net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under our Hong Kong Credit2018 Term Loan Facility and $11 million outstanding under our JapanVersace Credit Facility. These balances are not indicative of future balances that may be outstanding under our 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 relative to any outstanding balance at that date.
Credit Risk
We have outstanding $450.0$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 subsequentlysubsequent upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 30, 2017.28, 2019. This evaluation was performed based on 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, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 30, 201728, 2019 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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. There have beenwere no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the threenine months ended December 30, 201728, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Acquisition of Jimmy Choo
On November 1, 2017, we acquired Jimmy Choo (please refer to Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information). We are in the process of evaluating the internal controls of the acquired business and integrating it into our existing operations.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017,March 30, 2019, as amended and supplemented by the risk factor set forth in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 1, 2017,below, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
The following is an amended and restated version of a Risk Factor included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2019:
We face risks associated with operating globally and our strategy to continue to expand internationally.

We operate on a global basis, with approximately 48% of our total revenue from operations outside of the U.S. as of the end of the third quarter of 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, such as the continuing business disruption in Hong Kong, which has negatively affected our business and is expected to continue to cause disruptions to our business for the foreseeable future;
unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, including the recent outbreak of coronavirus in China which could result in closed offices, retail stores and factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials, embargoing of goods produced in areas infected by the virus, and reduced consumer traffic and spending within China and outside of China if the virus continues to spread, and could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition;
economic instability and unsettled regional and global conflicts, which may negatively affect consumer spending by foreign tourists and local consumers in the various regions where we operate;
laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments;
potential negative consequences from changes in taxation policies;
natural disasters or other extreme weather events, including those attributed to climate change; and
acts of terrorism, military actions or other conditions over which we have no control.

In addition, on June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) approved an advisory referendum to withdraw from the European Union (“Brexit”). On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon 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 or elevated customs duties or financial implications from operational challenges.

Finally, if our international 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 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.

57


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.
