2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

Interim Financial Statements

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2017 and other filings filed with the SEC.

The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018"). 

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company ("Kate Spade"). During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company acquired designated assets of its Stuart Weitzman distributor in Northern China, entered into an agreement to take operational control of the KS China Co., Limited and KS HMT Co., Limited joint ventures ("Kate Spade Joint Ventures") that operate in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in which the Company has 50% interest, and acquired designated assets of its Coach distributor in Australia and New Zealand. The operational results have been consolidated in the Company's operating results commencing on each respective transaction date.

Fiscal Periods

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2018 will be a 52-week period. Fiscal 2017 ended on July 1, 2017 and was also a 52-week period ("fiscal 2017"). The third quarter of fiscal 2018 ended on March 31, 2018 and was a 13-week period. The third quarter of fiscal 2017 ended on April 1, 2017 and was also a 13-week period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for the realizability of inventory; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; reserves for litigation and other contingencies; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes (including the impacts of the new tax legislation) and related uncertain tax positions; the valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related estimated forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring; and accounting for business combinations, amongst others.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation, including the realignment of the Company's segment reporting structure, as further described in Note 16, "Segment Information."

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-02, "Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)," which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. An entity that elects to reclassify these amounts must reclassify stranded tax effects related to the change in federal tax rate for all items accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and reclassified stranded amounts related to the cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings. The reclassification and adoption did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements, including accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)," which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows beginning in fiscal 2018. Additionally, the Company began recognizing all excess tax benefits and shortfalls as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement within the reporting period in which they occur. The Company adopted this standard prospectively, which resulted in a decrease in the tax provision of $9.8 million and $15.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Future impacts of the adoption of this standard on the consolidated financial statements, particularly the income tax provision, will be dependent upon future events which are unpredictable. The Company has elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures in determining compensation expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815. The objective of this ASU is to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity's risk management activities by better aligning the entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The requirements for the new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies that enter into leasing arrangements. This ASU requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for nearly all leases (other than short-term leases), as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of existing impacted leases. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently performing a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The Company expects the guidance will result in a significant increase to long-term assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's liquidity.

6

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers, and contains principles to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The model will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance, and also requires enhanced revenue-related disclosures. The FASB has also issued several related ASUs which provide additional implementation guidance and clarify the requirements of the model. The requirements of the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

The Company has a cross-functional implementation team in place that is performing a comprehensive evaluation of the impact. The Company’s evaluation efforts to date have included a review of current accounting policies and processes, as well as typical terms in contracts with customers, to identify potential differences upon the adoption of the new standard. Based on these efforts, the Company currently anticipates that the performance obligations underlying its core revenue streams (i.e., its retail and wholesale businesses), and the timing of revenue recognition thereof, will remain substantially unchanged for the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman segments. The Company has determined that the timing of recognizing sales-based royalties in licensing arrangements will change, as the Company will elect to recognize contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amounts ratably over the license year and recognize no excess sales-based royalties until the minimum royalty threshold is achieved. This change will not alter the total amount of revenue recognized from licensing arrangements during a contract year, and the timing change within a contract year is expected to be immaterial to the consolidated statements of operations as the licensing business represented approximately 1% of total net sales in fiscal 2017. The Company has not yet determined whether the guidance will be adopted using the full retrospective restatement of all prior periods presented, or using the modified retrospective basis with a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of initial adoption.

4. INTEGRATION AND ACQUISITION COSTS

Fiscal 2018 Costs

The Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Furthermore, the Company completed its acquisitions of certain distributors for the Coach and Stuart Weitzman brands and assumed operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result of these acquisitions, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred integration and acquisition-related costs of $22.4 million and $271.3 million, respectively. The charges recorded in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 were $4.1 million and $110.9 million, respectively. Of the amount recorded to cost of sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, $1.0 million and $106.4 million were recorded in the Kate Spade segment and $2.1 million and $3.5 million were recorded within the Stuart Weitzman segment, respectively. The charges recorded to cost of sales in the Coach segment were $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. The charges recorded in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 were $18.3 million and $160.4 million, respectively. Of the amount recorded to SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, $9.1 million and $106.6 million were recorded in the Kate Spade segment, $4.3 million and $47.1 million were recorded within Corporate, and $4.7 million and $6.5 million were recorded in the Stuart Weitzman segment, respectively. The charges recorded to SG&A expenses in the Coach segment were $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company continues to develop its plans for integration, and currently estimates that it will incur approximately $20-30 million in pre-tax charges, of which approximately $5-10 million are expected to be non-cash charges, for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

Refer to Note 6, "Acquisitions," for more information.

⁽¹⁾  Purchase accounting adjustments, of which $73.3 million was recorded within cost of sales and $2.9 million was recorded in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, relate to the short-term impact of the amortization of fair value adjustments.

5. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Operational Efficiency Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a plan (the “Operational Efficiency Plan”) to enhance organizational efficiency, update core technology platforms and optimize international supply chain and office locations. The Operational Efficiency Plan was adopted as a result of a strategic review of the Company’s corporate structure which focused on creating an agile and scalable business model.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred charges of $2.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively, primarily due to technology infrastructure costs. During the three and nine months ended April 1, 2017, the Company incurred charges of $6.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively, primarily due to organizational efficiency costs, technology infrastructure costs and to a lesser extent, network optimization costs. Total cumulative charges incurred to date are $77.4 million. These charges were recorded to SG&A expenses. The remaining charges under this plan are expected to approximate $5 million and will be recorded within Corporate.

A summary of charges and related liabilities under the Operational Efficiency Plan is as follows:

	Organizational Efficiency(1)			Technology Infrastructure(2)			Network Optimization(3)			Total
	(millions)
Liability as of July 2, 2016	$	22.2		$	—		$	3.2		$	25.4

Liability as of March 31, 2018	$	2.0		$	0.5		$	—		$	2.5

⁽¹⁾  Organizational efficiency charges, recorded within SG&A expenses, primarily related to accelerated depreciation associated with the retirement of information technology systems, severance and related costs of corporate employees as well as consulting fees related to process and organizational optimization.

⁽²⁾  Technology infrastructure costs, recorded within SG&A expenses, related to the initial costs of replacing and updating the Company’s core technology platforms.

⁽³⁾  Network optimization costs, recorded within SG&A expenses, related to lease termination costs.

The balances as of March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017 are included within accrued liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The above charges were recorded as Corporate expenses within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

6. ACQUISITIONS

Kate Spade and Company Acquisition

On July 11, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company for $18.50 per share for a total purchase price of $2.40 billion. As a result, Kate Spade has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The combination of the Company and Kate Spade & Company creates a leading New York-based luxury lifestyle company with a more diverse multi-brand portfolio supported by significant expertise in handbag design, merchandising, supply chain and retail operations.

The aggregate cash paid in connection with the acquisition of Kate Spade was $2.39 billion (or $2.32 billion net of cash acquired), excluding $5.3 million of consideration settled in Tapestry shares, as a result of the conversion of previously granted unvested equity awards held by Kate Spade employees. The Company funded the acquisition through cash on-hand, as well as debt proceeds as described in Note 11, "Debt."

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Kate Spade under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the cost was allocated to the underlying net assets based on their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which consists largely of the synergies expected from the acquisition.

The purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is substantially complete, however may be subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period. This may include the assignment of goodwill to other reporting units of the Company when the analysis of expected synergies is completed. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed	Fair Value
	(millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	71.8
Trade accounts receivable	62.8
Inventories(1)	310.1
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	33.9
Property and equipment	175.5
Goodwill(2)(3)	916.1
Brand intangible asset(4)	1,300.0
Other intangible assets(5)	119.2
Other assets	59.0
Total assets acquired	3,048.4
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	233.3
Deferred income taxes(6)	333.0
Other liabilities(7)	84.8
Total liabilities assumed	651.1
Total purchase price	2,397.3
Less: Cash acquired	(71.8		)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	2,325.5

⁽¹⁾ Included a step-up adjustment of approximately $67.5 million, which was amortized over 4 months.

⁽²⁾ The goodwill balance is not deductible for tax purposes.

⁽³⁾ Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company made a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of certain assets acquired due to additional information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of acquisition. As a result, there was an increase in other assets with a corresponding decrease in goodwill of $8.2 million. There was no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for more information.

⁽⁴⁾ The brand intangible asset was valued based on the multi-period excess earnings method, of which the majority is not deductible for tax purposes.

⁽⁵⁾ The components of other intangible assets included favorable lease rights of approximately $72.2 million (amortized over the remainder of the underlying lease terms), customer relationships of approximately $45.0 million (amortized over 15 years) and order backlog of $2.0 million (amortized over 6 months). Favorable lease rights were valued based on a comparison of market participant information and Company-specific lease terms. The customer relationship intangible asset was valued using the excess earnings method, which discounts the estimated after-tax cash flows associated with the existing base of customers as of the acquisition date, factoring in expected attrition of the existing base. The order backlog intangible asset was valued using the excess earnings method, which discounts the estimated after-tax cash flows associated with open customer orders as of the acquisition date.

⁽⁶⁾ The Company acquired approximately $209.0 million of net deferred tax assets related to Kate Spade historical federal and state net operating losses, which the Company expects to be able to utilize. The deferred tax adjustments resulting from the step-up in basis of acquired assets, most notably the brand intangible asset, resulted in an overall deferred tax liability. This overall deferred tax liability was subsequently re-measured. Refer to Note 14, "Income Taxes," for more information about changes to the Company's deferred tax position as a result of the enactment of the new tax legislation.

⁽⁷⁾  Includes an adjustment for unfavorable lease rights of approximately $49.5 million (amortized over the remainder of the underlying lease terms).

Refer to Note 16, "Segment Information," for the operating results of the Kate Spade business.

The following pro forma information has been prepared as if the Kate Spade acquisition and the related debt financing had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. These adjustments include the removal of certain historical amounts. The pro forma amounts reflect the combined historical operational results for Tapestry and Kate Spade, after giving effect toadjustments related to the impact of purchase accounting, transaction costs and financing. The pro forma financial information is not indicative of the operational results that would have been obtained had the transactions actually occurred as of that date, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operational results. The following adjustments have been made:

(i) Depreciation and amortization expenses related to the fair value adjustments to Kate Spade's property and equipment and intangible assets have been reflected in the three and nine months ended April 1, 2017. Short-term purchase accounting amortization has been excluded from the pro forma amounts due to the non-recurring nature.

(ii) Transaction costs in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 have been excluded from the pro forma amounts due to their non-recurring nature.

(iii) Interest expense of debt issued to finance the acquisition, including amortization of deferred financing fees, has been reflected in the three and nine months ended April 1, 2017. Historical interest expense for Kate Spade has been removed.

(iv) The tax effects of the pro forma adjustments at an estimated statutory rate of 40.0%.

(v) Earnings per share amounts are calculated using unrounded numbers and the Company's historical weighted average shares outstanding.

acquired) was paid during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the remaining will be paid in the future. Of the total purchase consideration of $153.7 million, $50.0 million of net assets were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as non-tax deductible goodwill in the amount of $103.7 million. Of this amount, $52.8 million, $49.3 million and $1.6 million were assigned to the Company's Kate Spade, Stuart Weitzman and Coach segments, respectively.

The results of the operations of each acquired entity have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the respective date of each acquisition. The purchase price allocation for these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is substantially complete, however may be subject to change as additional information is obtained during the acquisition measurement period. The pro forma results are not presented for these acquisitions as they are immaterial.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and any other potentially dilutive instruments, only in the periods in which such effects are dilutive under the treasury stock method.

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31, 2018		April 1, 2017		March 31, 2018		April 1, 2017
	(millions, except per share data)
Net income	$	140.3	$	122.2	$	185.8	$	439.3
Weighted-average basic shares	286.2		280.8		284.7		280.2
Dilutive securities:
Effect of dilutive securities	3.9		2.1		3.1		2.0
Weighted-average diluted shares	290.1		282.9		287.8		282.2
Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.49	$	0.44	$	0.65	$	1.57
Diluted	$	0.48	$	0.43	$	0.65	$	1.56

Earnings per share amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share. In addition, the Company has outstanding restricted stock unit awards that are issuable only upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition modifiers) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017, there were 4.2 million and 9.9 million, respectively, of additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table shows the total compensation cost charged against income for share-based compensation plans and the related tax benefits recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated:

Income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense(2)	5.9		6.4		17.8		17.5

⁽¹⁾  During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $5.1 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, related to severance as a result of integration. There was no share-based compensation expense under the Operational Efficiency Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. During the three and nine months ended April 1, 2017, the Company incurred $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense under the Operational Efficiency Plan.

⁽²⁾  The tax rates used to calculate the income tax benefit for fiscal 2018 are based on the enactment of the new tax legislation in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Refer to Note 14, "Income Taxes," for further information.

Credit Facilities/Term Loans

On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have (i) committed to lend to the Company, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the agreement, an $800.0 million term loan facility maturing six

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

months after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (the “Six-Month Term Loan Facility”), and a $300.0 million term loan facility maturing three years after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (collectively with the Six-Month Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) and (ii) made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” collectively with the Term Loan Facilities, "the Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previously existing revolving credit facility under the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2015, by and between the Company, certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper back-up). Letters of credit and swing line loans may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as described below. On July 10, 2017, the Company borrowed $800.0 million under the Six-Month Term Loan Facility and $300.0 million under the Three-Year Term Loan Facility to pay a portion of the purchase price of the Company's acquisition of Kate Spade. On January 10, 2018 the Company repaid the Six-Month Term Loan Facility in accordance with the terms of the agreement. On January 24, 2018, the Company repaid the Three-Year Term Loan Facility, earlier than the terms in the agreement. Accordingly, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid.

4.250% Senior Notes due 2025

On March 2, 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 beginning October 1, 2015. Prior to January 1, 2025 (90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been payable in respect of the 2025 Senior Notes calculated as if the maturity date of the 2025 Senior Notes was January 1, 2025 (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture for the 2025 Senior Notes) plus 35 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On and after January 1, 2025 (90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

3.000% Senior Notes due 2022

On June 20, 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505% of par (the "2022 Senior Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 beginning January 15, 2018. Prior to June 15, 2022 (one month prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2022 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been payable in respect of the 2022 Senior Notes calculated as if the maturity date of the 2022 Senior Notes was June 15, 2022 (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) plus 25 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

4.125% Senior Notes due 2027

On June 20, 2017, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2027 at 99.858% of par (the "2027 Senior Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 beginning January 15, 2018. Prior to April 15, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been payable

in respect of the 2027 Senior Notes calculated as if the maturity date of the 2027 Senior Notes was April 15, 2027 (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) plus 30 basis points, plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

At March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017, the total fair value of the 2025, 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $1.57 billion and $1.62 billion, respectively, based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and is classified as a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not have any Level 3 investments.

⁽¹⁾  Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Due to their short term maturity, management believes that their carrying value approximates fair value.

⁽²⁾  Short-term available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value, which approximates their carrying value, and are primarily based upon quoted vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.

⁽³⁾  Fair value is primarily determined using vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.

⁽⁴⁾  The fair value of these hedges is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities 

The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering market participant assumptions.

14. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted. The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. tax code by (i) lowering the U.S federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) implementing a territorial tax system, (iii) imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"), (iv) requiring current inclusion of global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations in U.S. federal taxable income, (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) regime, (vi) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property, and (vii) limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense, among other changes. Due to the fact that the Company is a fiscal year filer, the blended U.S. federal statutory rate for fiscal 2018 is 28.0%. The U.S. federal statutory rate will be 21.0% in fiscal 2019 and thereafter.

The Company recorded the applicable impact of the Tax Legislation within its provision for income taxes in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company has recorded the required income tax effects under the Tax Legislation and provided disclosure pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and available inputs and underlying information as of the reporting date. The two provisions that significantly impact the Company for fiscal 2018 are the calculation of the Transition Tax and the impact of the U.S. federal statutory rate reduction, from 35% to 21%, on the current and deferred tax provision and related accounts. These amounts were recorded as provisional pursuant to SAB 118 since both require more detailed information before these amounts can be finalized. All amounts recorded were based on current available guidance on interpretation of the Tax Legislation, and reasonable approaches to estimating their impact. Pursuant to SAB 118, for certain elements of the Tax Legislation for which a reasonable estimate could not be determined, the Company has not reported provisional amounts related to these elements and has continued to account for them in accordance with ASC 740 based on the tax laws in effect before the Tax Legislation. The amounts recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 are subject to adjustment as future guidance becomes available, additional facts become known or estimation approaches are refined.

21

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The following table represents amounts recorded to provision for income taxes in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 for items related to the Tax Legislation:

	Nine Months Ended
	March 31, 2018
	(millions)
Impact of Change in U.S. Federal Statutory Rate on Pre-Tax Income	$	(9.6	)
Discrete Impacts of Tax Legislation:
Transition Tax(1)	304.3
Re-measurement of Deferred Taxes(2)	(104.7		)
Total Impact of Tax Legislation	$	190.0

⁽¹⁾   The Tax Legislation requires the Company to pay a Transition Tax on previously unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Transition Tax is payable in installments over 8 years beginning in calendar 2018. In the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative charge of $304.3 million for the Transition Tax. Given that a portion of the total anticipated charge must be recognized ratably throughout fiscal 2018, the Company anticipates recording an additional charge during the remainder of fiscal 2018 or approximately $315 million for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. In the nine months ended March 31, 2018, $270.9 million is recorded as long-term income taxes payable and $33.4 million is recorded in accrued liabilities related to the current portion of this payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018. Additional detailed information required to complete the calculation includes, but is not limited to, (i) completing a foreign earnings and profit study to determine the Company’s deferred foreign income since 1986, including all acquisitions; (ii) determining foreign taxes paid against deferred foreign income; and (iii) determining whether the Company has an Overall Foreign Loss.

Prior to the reporting period in which the Tax Legislation was enacted, the Company did not recognize a deferred tax liability related to unremitted foreign earnings because it overcame the presumption of the repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of the enactment of the Tax Legislation, the Company has recorded a provisional Transition Tax related to all post-1986 earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company is still evaluating whether those earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. and if there are any additional tax consequences resulting from the repatriation. Due to the complexity surrounding the application of new Tax Legislation, the Company will continue to evaluate outside basis differences and any related impact.

The Company expects that the Transition Tax will result in an increase to Provision for income taxes of approximately $315 million in fiscal 2018. Based on the interpretation of available guidance, the Company expects to remit the first payment on the due date of its fiscal year 2018 income tax return, which will be in fiscal 2019. The balance of annual payments will be paid ratably in our quarterly estimated tax payments. The following table presents the expected timing of income tax payments related to the Transition Tax expected to be recognized by the Company in fiscal 2018:

	Transition Tax Payments
	(millions)
Remainder of fiscal 2018	$	—
Fiscal 2019	50.4
Fiscal 2020	25.2
Fiscal 2021	25.2
Fiscal 2022	25.2
Fiscal 2023	47.3
Fiscal 2024 and thereafter	141.7
Total	$	315.0

⁽²⁾ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The Company has estimated the rate change adjustment related to the deferred tax balances that will reverse within the 2018 fiscal year at a blended U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 28% and those that will reverse after the 2018 fiscal year at the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. This deferred tax rate change adjustment is provisional and will be finalized after the Company completes its fiscal year. This amount will change if the estimated timing of the deferred tax impacts shifts between fiscal

22

TAPESTRY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2018 and fiscal 2019 and beyond. The Company’s estimated adjustment may also be affected by other analysis related to the Tax Legislation, including, but not limited to, the calculation of deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and the U.S. state income tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences, such as the full expensing of qualified property which may not be allowed from a state tax perspective.

The Tax Legislation includes substantial changes to the taxation of foreign income, effectively converting the U.S. to a territorial income tax regime. Notable changes include that foreign earnings after December 31, 2017 will generally be eligible for a 100% dividends received exemption, however companies may be subject to the BEAT and GILTI, which would increase the U.S federal statutory income tax rate above 21%. With limited exception, these tax regimes do not impact the Company until fiscal year 2019, and based on current facts and circumstances, the Company believes that GILTI is the tax regime most likely to apply. Under the GILTI regime, a portion of the Company’s foreign earnings will be subject to U.S. taxation, offset by available foreign tax credits subject to certain limitations. To the extent a company’s foreign operations are subject to GILTI and there is an existing outside basis difference in the Company’s foreign investments that exists within the reporting period, the Company may need to record a deferred tax liability for some portion of the anticipated additional tax resulting from future GILTI inclusions. For companies subject to GILTI, the FASB has indicated that companies are allowed to choose to record a deferred tax liability related to the outside basis difference in the fiscal year of enactment or record the future tax associated with GILTI as a period cost in the period said foreign earnings are included on the U.S. tax return. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating whether an outside basis difference in foreign investments exists and to what extent it will be subject to GILTI. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no additional deferred tax liability as of the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Other provisions of the new legislation that are not applicable to the Company until fiscal 2019 include, but are not limited to, limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense. Based on current facts and circumstances, we do not anticipate the impact of these provisions to be material to the overall financial statements.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit

The Company had standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees totaling $23.7 million and $9.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. The agreements, which expire at various dates through calendar 2039, primarily collateralize the Company's obligation to third parties for leases, insurance claims, duty and materials used in product manufacturing. The Company pays certain fees with respect to these instruments that are issued.

Tax Legislation

The Tax Legislation requires the Company to pay a one-time tax, or Transition Tax on previously unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company expects to pay approximately $315 million related to the Transition Tax. Refer to Note 14, "Income Taxes," for more information related to the impact of the Tax Legislation.

Other

The Company had other contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2018 related to debt repayments. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for further information.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company's general counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Prior to fiscal 2018, the Company had the following three reportable segments: North America (Coach brand), International (Coach brand) and Stuart Weitzman. Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company realigned its business following the acquisition of Kate Spade. The Company now has three reportable segments, which are the Company's operating segments. These segments are based on its business activities and organization:

• Coach - Includes worldwide sales of Coach brand products to customers through Coach-operated stores, including the Internet, concession shop-in-shops and sales to wholesale customers and independent third party distributors.

• Kate Spade - Includes worldwide sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, concession shop-in-shops, independent third party distributors and to wholesale customers.

• Stuart Weitzman - Includes worldwide sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products primarily to wholesale customers, numerous independent third party distributors and through Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet.

The new segment structure is consistent with how the Company establishes its overall business strategy, allocates resources and assesses performance of its business. Additionally, certain costs were reclassified in fiscal 2017 results from Corporate to the Coach and Stuart Weitzman segments, as the costs can now be specifically identified to a segment.

17. HEADQUARTERS TRANSACTIONS

Sale of Interest and Lease Transaction of Hudson Yards

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company announced the sale of its investments in 10 Hudson Yards, in New York City, and the lease of its new global headquarters. The Company sold its equity investment in the Hudson Yards joint venture as well as net fixed assets related to the design and build-out of the space. The Company received a purchase price of approximately $707 million (net of approximately $77 million due to the developer of Hudson Yards) before transaction costs of approximately $26 million, resulting in a gain of $28.8 million, which will be amortized through SG&A expenses over the lease term of 20 years, as discussed below.

The Company has simultaneously entered into a 20-year lease, accounted for as an operating lease, for the headquarters space in the building, comprised of approximately 694,000 square feet. Under the lease, the Company has the right to expand its premises to portions of the 24^th and 25^th floors of the building and has a right of first offer with respect to available space on the 26^th floor of the building. The total commitment related to this lease is approximately $1.05 billion, with minimum lease payments of $41.4 million due in fiscal 2017, $45.1 million due each year from fiscal 2018 through fiscal 2021, and $825.5 million total due for years subsequent to 2021. In addition to its fixed rent obligations, the Company is obligated to pay its percentage share for customary escalations for operating expenses attributable to the building and the Hudson Yards development, taxes and tax related payments. The Company is not obligated to pay any amount of contingent rent.

Sale of Former Headquarters

During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company completed the sale of its former headquarters on West 34th Street. Net cash proceeds of $126.0 million were generated and the sale did not result in a material gain or loss.

Sublease Agreement

On September 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Sublease (the "Sublease"), as sublandlord, with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, a New York mutual insurance company ("Guardian"), as subtenant, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sublease to Guardian three floors of the Company's leased space at 10 Hudson Yards, New York, NY, consisting of approximately 148,813 square feet of office space. The term of the Sublease expires on June 29, 2036 (the "Expiration Date"). The rent commencement date under the Sublease is estimated to occur on February 1, 2019.

Under the terms of the Sublease, and assuming a rent commencement date of February 1, 2019, Guardian has agreed to pay monthly base rent to the Company of approximately $0.8 million from March 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and monthly base rent ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $1.3 million depending on the period from July 1, 2019 through the Expiration Date. In addition to monthly base rent, Guardian has agreed to pay to the Company Guardian’s proportionate share of increases in payments in lieu of taxes and taxes over the tax year commencing July 1, 2019, as well as Guardian’s proportionate share of increases in operating expenses over the operating year commencing January 1, 2019. Subject to certain customary conditions set forth in the Sublease, the Company has agreed to reimburse Guardian for certain subtenant improvements in an amount equal to $80.00 per rentable square foot, or approximately $11.9 million in the aggregate, subject to a deduction equal to $10.00 per rentable square foot, or approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate, for work previously performed by or on behalf of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms "the Company," "Tapestry," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Tapestry, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries. References to "Coach," "Stuart Weitzman," "Kate Spade" or "kate spade new york" refer only to the identified brand.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Tapestry is a leading New York-based house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands. The Company and its brands are founded upon a creative and consumer-led view that stands for inclusivity and approachability. The Coach brand was established in New York City in 1941 and is a leading design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle collections, with a long-standing reputation built on quality craftsmanship. The Company acquired Stuart Weitzman, a leader in women's designer footwear, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. On July 11, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade. From handbags, accessories and ready-to-wear, kate spade new york's products invite women around the world to live every day uniquely and to the fullest.

Prior to fiscal 2018, the Company had three reportable segments: North America (Coach brand), International (Coach brand) and Stuart Weitzman. Beginning in fiscal 2018 and as a result of the Kate Spade acquisition, the Company aligned its reportable segments with the new structure of its business. As a result, the Company has three reportable segments:

• Coach - Includes worldwide sales of Coach brand products to customers through Coach operated stores, including the Internet, concession shop-in-shops and sales to wholesale customers and independent third party distributors.

• Kate Spade - Includes worldwide sales primarily of kate spade new york brand products to customers through Kate Spade operated stores, including the Internet, concession shop-in-shops, independent third party distributors and wholesale customers.

• Stuart Weitzman - Includes worldwide sales of Stuart Weitzman brand products to customers primarily through wholesale customers, numerous third party distributors and Stuart Weitzman operated stores, including the Internet.

Each of our brands is unique and independent, while sharing a commitment to innovation and authenticity defined by distinctive products and differentiated customer experiences across channels and geographies. Our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel, geographic area or brand.

Integration and Acquisitions

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of certain distributors for the Coach and Stuart Weitzman brands and obtained operational control of the Kate Spade Joint Ventures. The operating results of the respective entity have been consolidated in the Company's operating results commencing on the date of each acquisition. As a result, the Company incurred charges related to the integration and acquisition of the businesses. These charges are primarily associated with purchase price accounting adjustments, acquisition costs, inventory-related charges, contractual payments and organization-related expenses. The Company continues to develop its plans for integration, and currently estimates that it will incur approximately $20-30 million in pre-tax charges, of which approximately $5-10 million are expected to be non-cash charges, for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

Refer to Note 4, "Integration and Acquisition Costs," and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.

Operational Efficiency Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a series of operational efficiency initiatives focused on creating an agile and scalable business model (the "Operational Efficiency Plan"). The significant majority of the charges under this plan were recorded within SG&A expenses and were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2017. These charges are associated with organizational efficiencies, primarily related to the reduction of corporate staffing levels globally, as well as accelerated depreciation, mainly associated with information systems retirement, technology infrastructure charges related to the initial costs of replacing and updating our core technology platforms, and international supply chain and office location optimization. The Company has incurred charges to date of $77.4 million. The remaining charges under this plan are expected to be approximately $5 million and will be recorded within Corporate.

Refer to Note 5, "Restructuring Activities," and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation," herein, for further information.

Tax Legislation

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted. The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. tax code by (i) lowering the U.S federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) implementing a territorial tax system, (iii) imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries ("Transition Tax"), (iv) requiring current inclusion of global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations in U.S. federal taxable income, (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), (vi) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property, and (vii) limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense, among other changes. Notable changes include the following:

• The Company expects to receive the full benefit of the rate reduction in fiscal 2019, as compared with the partial rate reduction it will receive in fiscal 2018 based on the pro-rated number of days the new rate applies to the current fiscal year. In the current year, the U.S federal statutory income tax rate will be approximately 28%, which will further decline to 21% in fiscal 2019.

• Foreign earnings that may exist after December 31, 2017 will generally be eligible for a 100% dividends received exemption, however companies may be subject to the alternative BEAT and GILTI tax regimes which would increase the U.S federal statutory income tax rate above 21%. With limited exception, these tax regimes do not impact the Company until fiscal year 2019. Based on current facts and circumstances the Company believes that GILTI is the tax regime most likely to apply. Under the GILTI regime a portion of the Company’s foreign earnings that may exist will be subject to U.S. taxation. To the extent a company’s foreign operations are subject to GILTI and there is an existing outside basis difference in the Company’s foreign investments that exists within the reporting period, the Company may need to record a deferred tax liability for some portion of the anticipated additional tax resulting from future GILTI inclusions. Outside-basis difference is generally defined as the difference between an entity’s financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of the parent’s investment in that entity’s stock. Outside basis differences typically arise from things such as the entity earning income, post-acquisition, that has yet to be distributed to the parent company, or purchase accounting adjustments recorded on acquisition that increase or decrease the entity’s book value on the face of its financial statements, but do not provide any additional tax basis as the adjustments must be ignored for tax purposes. For companies subject to GILTI, the FASB has indicated that companies are allowed to choose to record a deferred tax liability related to the outside basis difference in the fiscal year of enactment or to record the future tax associated with GILTI as a period cost in the period those foreign earnings are included on the U.S. tax return. Given that the Company is still evaluating whether an outside basis difference in foreign investments exists and to what extent it will be subject to GILTI, the Company has recorded no additional deferred tax liability as of the quarter ended March 31, 2018. 

• The Tax Legislation includes what many believe is an unintended consequence that results in certain Qualified Improvement Property (“QIP”), which includes much of the Company’s leasehold improvements, being ineligible for bonus depreciation. The Company has estimated fiscal year 2018 depreciation expense based on how the law was drafted, with no consideration of the perceived legislative intent. The Company has estimated its capital expenditures by class to estimate depreciation expense for purposes of forecasting the rate change adjustment of our deferred tax balance. If Tax Legislation for QIP is adjusted, it will impact the rate change adjustment amount, which in turn will impact the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2018.

• At this time, it is unknown whether certain states in which the Company operates will conform to the Tax Legislation or adopt an alternative regime. The Company continues to monitor developments; at this time all material aspects of its provision for income tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 are recorded based on its historical approach to state tax expense.

• Other provisions of the new legislation that are not applicable to the Company until fiscal 2019 include, but are not limited to, the provisions limiting deductibility of interest and executive compensation expense. Based on current facts and circumstances, we do not anticipate the impact of these provisions to be material to the overall financial statements.

The Company expects further impact in the remainder of fiscal 2018 and in fiscal 2019 as it finalizes the calculations to determine the proper inclusion of the Transition Tax and to re-measure its deferred tax balance. Based on currently available information, it is impossible to predict the amount of anticipated adjustment and whether this adjustment will be beneficial or detrimental to our effective tax rate. Additional analysis required to complete the Transition Tax calculation includes, but is not limited to, (i) completing a foreign earnings and profit study to determine the Company’s deferred foreign income since 1986, including all acquisitions; (ii) determining foreign taxes paid against deferred foreign income; and (iii) determining whether the Company has an Overall Foreign Loss. The Company’s estimated adjustment may also be affected by other analysis related to the Tax Legislation, including, but not limited to, the calculation of deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences, such as the full expensing of qualified property which may not be allowed from a state tax perspective.

Current Trends and Outlook

Global consumer retail traffic remains relatively inconsistent across channels and geographies, which has led to a more promotional environment in the fragmented retail industry due to increased competition and a desire to offset traffic softness with increased levels of conversion. While certain developed geographic regions are withstanding these pressures better than others, the level of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items remains constrained due to the economic uncertainty. Further declines in traffic could result in store impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, Stuart Weitzman results were negatively impacted by supply chain operational challenges including production delays, which caused lower than expected sales, as the brand was not prepared for the level of complexity and new development as it transitions to a new creative vision. The Company is in the process of adding infrastructure and capacity to support this vision with quality and on-time deliveries. While these efforts are under way, the Company expects to experience some negative impacts through the Fall/Winter Season.

After stronger than expected economic performance in calendar 2017, including improvements in the labor and housing market as well as modest growth in overall consumer spending, the U.S. economic outlook has improved and moderate economic growth is expected to continue in calendar 2018. Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, observed economic strengthening across the majority of the globe in 2017 and are projecting broad-based accelerated economic strengthening for 2018, but anticipate that the current growth rates are unlikely to persist in the long term. It is still, however, too early to understand what kind of sustained impact these trends or changes in tax legislation will have on consumer discretionary spending.

Risk of volatility or a worsening of the macroeconomic environment remains due to political uncertainty and potential changes to international trade agreements. Political and economic instability or changing macroeconomic conditions that exist or may arise in our major markets may contribute to the uncertainty as to whether current positive trends will be sustained, including but not limited to the impact of the United Kingdom ("U.K.") voting to leave the European Union ("E.U.") in its referendum on June 23, 2016, commonly known as "Brexit." On March 29, 2017, the U.K. triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty formally starting negotiations with the E.U. The U.K. has two years to complete these negotiations.

Additional macroeconomic events including foreign exchange rate volatility in various parts of the world, recent and evolving impacts of economic and geopolitical events in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China ("Greater China"), the impact of terrorist acts (particularly in Europe), disease epidemics and a slowdown in emerging market growth (particularly in Asia) have contributed to this uncertainty. Our results have been impacted by foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and will continue to fluctuate with future volatility.

We will continue to monitor these trends and evaluate and adjust our operating strategies and cost management opportunities to mitigate the related impact on our results of operations, while remaining focused on the long-term growth of our business and protecting the value of our brands.

For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017 and Part II, Item 1A."Risk Factors" of Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended on December 30, 2017.

Tapestry, Inc. Summary – Third Quarter of Fiscal 2018

Currency Fluctuation Effects

The change in net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 has been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects.

Net Sales

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 32.9% or $327.2 million to $1.32 billion, primarily due to the Kate Spade acquisition and due to increased revenues from Coach and Stuart Weitzman. Excluding the favorable effects of foreign currency, net sales increased by 29.9% or $297.9 million.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 28.8% or $203.2 million to $908.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $705.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was 68.7% as compared to 70.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $4.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as discussed in the "GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation" herein, gross profit increased 29.4% or $207.3 million to $913.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and gross margin decreased to 69.0% from 70.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in gross profit is primarily driven by the acquisition of Kate Spade of $173.3 million and increases in Coach of $36.2 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes inbound product-related transportation costs from our service providers within cost of sales. The Company, similar to some companies, includes certain transportation-related costs related to our distribution network in SG&A expenses rather than in cost of sales; for this reason, our gross margins may not be comparable to that of entities that include all costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales.

SG&A expenses increased 35.3% or $195.3 million to $749.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $554.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 56.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 55.7% during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $21.2 million and $10.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, SG&A expenses increased $185.0 million to $728.7 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2017; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased, to 55.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 54.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Kate Spade of $159.4 million, as well as increases in Coach of $17.0 million and Stuart Weitzman of $6.8 million.

Corporate expenses, which are included within SG&A expenses discussed above but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, remained fairly consistent with a slight decrease of 0.1% or $0.2 million to $74.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $74.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $7.2 million and $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 2.8% or $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 5.1% or $7.9 million to $159.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $151.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Operating margin was 12.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 15.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $25.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and $10.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, operating income increased 13.7% or $22.3 million to $184.3 million from $162.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017; and operating margin was 13.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 16.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in operating income is primarily driven by growth in Coach of $19.2 million and the acquisition of Kate Spade of $13.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in Stuart Weitzman of $9.0 million.

Interest expense, net totaled $16.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 due to the debt borrowings that occurred to finance the Kate Spade acquisition.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 1.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 16.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The effective tax rate of 1.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 includes the impacts of the Operational Efficiency Plan and Integration & Acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of the Tax Legislation. Excluding non-GAAP charges, the effective tax rate was 5.6% in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 17.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 and the impact of the Tax Legislation which lowered the U.S federal statutory income tax.

Net Income

Net income increased $18.1 million to $140.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $122.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income increased 21.0% or $27.6 million to $157.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $130.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in gross profit and lower provision for income taxes, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses.

Net Income per Share

Net income per diluted share increased 11.8% to $0.48 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $0.43 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges, net income per diluted share increased 18.0% to $0.54 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $0.46 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher net income partially offset by an increase in shares.

Coach Net Sales increased 5.9% or $54.0 million to $969.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 3.1% or $28.7 million. Comparable store sales for Coach increased $21.3 million or 2.8% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the Internet, comparable store sales increased 1.9%. The increase in comparable store sales is primarily led by North America, primarily due to conversion and to a lesser extent the calendar shift for Easter, which was partially offset by decreases in South Korea. Non-comparable store sales increased by $11.4 million primarily due to Greater China and Europe, partially offset by declines in North America due to store closures. These increases were partially offset by lower wholesale sales which decreased by $3.3 million primarily due to lower international wholesale sales, excluding the net benefit of the expiration of the footwear license at the end of fiscal 2017 and bringing this business in-house.

Coach Gross Profit increased 5.4% or $35.2 million to $691.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $656.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

Excluding non-GAAP charges of $1.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, Coach gross profit increased 5.5% or $36.2 million to $692.3 million from $656.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 71.4% from 71.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted by foreign currency by approximately 50 basis points. Excluding the impact of foreign currency in both periods, gross margin decreased 30 basis points. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the negative impact of the expiration of the footwear license of 50 basis points.

Coach SG&A Expenses increased 4.0% or $17.2 million to $450.4 million as compared to $433.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, SG&A expenses increased 3.9% or $17.0 million to $450.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 46.4% during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 47.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The $17.0 million increase is due to higher expenses in Greater China and Europe due to new store openings partially offset by decreases in store-related costs in North America.

Coach Operating Income increased 8.1% or $18.0 million to $240.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in an operating margin of 24.9%, as compared to $222.9 million and 24.4%, respectively in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Coach operating income increased 8.7% or $19.2 million to $242.1 million from $222.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017; and operating margin was 25.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 24.4% in the third quarter

33

of fiscal 2017. This increase is due to an increase in gross profit of $36.2 million, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses of $17.0 million.

34

basis points due to an increased level of promotional sales mix as a result of higher inventory levels and supply chain operational challenges.

Comparable store sales for Coach increased $35.5 million or 1.4% as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the Internet, comparable store sales increased 0.4%. The increase in comparable store sales is primarily due to increases in North America, Japan and Greater China, partially offset by declines in other parts of Asia. Non-comparable stores increased by $26.3 million, primarily driven by new stores in Greater China, Europe and Asia partially offset by store closures in North America. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in wholesale of $23.8 million, primarily due to lower international wholesale sales, excluding the net benefit of the expiration of the footwear license at the end of fiscal 2017 and bringing this business in-house.

Coach Gross Profit increased 0.9% or $19.5 million to $2.17 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $2.15 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $1.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, Coach gross profit increased 1.0% or $20.5 million. Gross margin decreased 60 basis points to 69.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 70.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was negatively impacted by foreign currency by approximately 10 basis points. Excluding the impact of foreign currency in both periods, gross margin decreased 50 basis points. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the negative impact of the expiration of the footwear license of 40 basis points and promotional activity, partially offset by favorable product mix.

Coach SG&A Expenses increased 1.0% or $13.0 million to $1.37 billion as compared to $1.36 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 43.8% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to 44.2% during the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, SG&A expenses increased 0.9% or $12.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The $12.8 million increase is primarily due to higher store-related costs in Europe and Greater China associated with new store openings, partially offset by lower marketing expenses in North America.

Coach Operating Income increased 0.8% or $6.5 million to $800.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, resulting in an operating margin of 25.6%, as compared to $793.9 million and 25.9%, respectively in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Coach operating income increased 1.0% or $7.7 million to $801.6 million from $793.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017; and operating margin was 25.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to 25.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The increase in operating income was due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Stuart Weitzman Net Sales increased 5.3% or $15.2 million to $300.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 3.5% or $9.9 million. This increase was primarily due to higher sales in the retail business of $10.4 million, primarily due to the impact of net store openings, the direct ownership of the Northern China distributor and higher comparable store sales, as well as a $0.7 million increase in wholesale sales primarily due to timing of shipments.

Stuart Weitzman Gross Profit decreased 1.1% or $2.0 million to $174.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $176.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Gross margin decreased 370 basis points to 58.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 61.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $3.5 million and $0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, Stuart Weitzman gross profit increased 0.5% or $0.9 million to $178.2 million from $177.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, and gross margin decreased 280 basis points to 59.2% from 62.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The year over year change in gross margin was negatively impacted

41

by foreign currency rates by 70 basis points, primarily due to the Euro. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, there was a decrease in gross margin of 210 basis points primarily due to the impact of promotional activity, channel mix and lower wholesale margins.

Stuart Weitzman SG&A Expenses decreased 1.1% or $1.7 million to $156.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to $158.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 52.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to 55.4% during the first nine months of fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $6.5 million and $12.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, SG&A expenses increased 3.2% or $4.5 million to $150.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018; and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased, to 49.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 50.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. This increase is primarily due to timing of marketing expenses, as well as growth in the business and the direct ownership of the Northern China distributor, partially offset by reduced employee-related costs.

Stuart Weitzman Operating Income decreased 1.9% or $0.3 million to $18.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, resulting in an operating margin of 6.0%, as compared to $18.4 million and 6.4%, respectively in fiscal 2017. Excluding non-GAAP charges, Stuart Weitzman operating income decreased 11.6% or $3.6 million to $28.1 million from $31.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017; and operating margin was 9.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to 11.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The decrease in operating income was due to a decrease in gross profit and higher SG&A expenses.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The reported gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, provision for income taxes, net income and earnings per diluted share in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 reflect certain items, including the impact of the Integration and Acquisition for Tapestry, the Operational Efficiency Plan and the impact of the new tax legislation in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. As a supplement to the Company's reported results, these metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the impact of these items, along with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Comparable store sales, which is a non-GAAP measure, reflects sales performance at stores that have been open for at least 12 months, and includes sales from the Internet. In certain instances, orders placed via the Internet are fulfilled by a physical store; such sales are recorded by the physical store. The Company excludes new locations, including newly acquired locations, from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operation. Comparable store sales have not been adjusted for store expansions. Kate Spade comparable store sales have been calculated using this methodology by comparing current period sales to sales during the equivalent pre-acquisition period.

These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s internal management reporting excluded these items. In addition, the human resources committee of the Company’s Board uses these non-GAAP measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.

The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues and profit. Accordingly, certain material increases and decreases in operating results have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency revenue results by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year period's monthly average currency conversion rate.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, we believe presenting certain increases and decreases in constant currency provides a framework for assessing the performance of the Company's business outside the United States and helps investors and analysts understand the effect of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations. We believe excluding these items assists investors and others in developing expectations of future performance.

By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

For a detailed discussion on these non-GAAP measures, see Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,641.2	)	$	535.5		$	(2,176.7	)

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.64 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to an increase of $535.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, as discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $56.5 million due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $265.0 million and higher non-cash charges of $45.0 million, partially offset by lower net income of $253.5 million.

The $265.0 million increase in changes in operating asset and liability balances was primarily driven by changes in other liabilities, accrued liabilities, inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by changes in accounts payable. Other liabilities were a source of cash of $168.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 compared to a use of cash of $26.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, primarily related to an increase in the Company's long-term income tax payable as a result of the Transition Tax. Accrued liabilities were a use of cash of $40.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a use of cash of $101.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, primarily driven by changes in derivative positions due to foreign currency fluctuations and the timing of interest payments. Inventories were a source of cash of $12.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a use of cash of $31.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, primarily driven by Kate Spade inventory balances as a result of seasonality. Accounts receivable was a source of cash of $78.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a source of cash of $35.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, primarily driven by a smaller build in receivables compared to prior year due to lower Coach wholesale sales, timing of Kate Spade wholesale sales and lower licensing royalties as a result of bringing the footwear business in-house. Accounts payable was a use of cash of $136.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a use of cash of $51.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, primarily driven by the timing of Kate Spade inventory payments.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $2.08 billion as compared to a source of cash of $562.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The $2.64 billion increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the $2.37 billion purchase of Kate Spade and other acquisitions, net of cash acquired in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as well as the prior year proceeds from the sale of the Company's investment in Hudson Yards of $680.6 million and the sale of our prior headquarters of $126.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. This was partially offset by the impact of net cash proceeds from maturities and sales of investments of $478.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, compared to net purchases of investments of $47.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $158.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a use of cash of $550.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The $391.8 million decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1.10 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, partially offset by the increase in long-term debt repayments of $815.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to prior year.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2018, in addition to our cash flows from operations, our sources of liquidity and capital resources were comprised of the following:

	Sources of Liquidity		Outstanding Indebtedness		Total Available Liquidity(1)
	(millions)
Cash and cash equivalents(1)	$	1,031.7	$	—	$	1,031.7

Total	$	3,538.4	$	1,600.0	$	1,938.4

⁽¹⁾  As of March 31, 2018, approximately 67% of our cash and short-term investments were held outside the U.S. in jurisdictions. Prior to the reporting period in which the Tax Legislation was enacted, the Company did not recognize a deferred tax liability related to unremitted foreign earnings because it overcame the presumption of the repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of the enactment of the Tax Legislation, the Company has recorded a provisional Transition Tax related to all post-1986 earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company is still evaluating whether those earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. and if there are any additional tax consequences resulting from the repatriation. Due to the complexity surrounding the application of new Tax Legislation, the Company will continue to evaluate outside basis differences and any related impact.

⁽²⁾  In May 2017, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement whereby Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have made available to the Company a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 30, 2022 (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and collectively with the Term Loan Facilities, the "Facility").

⁽³⁾  In May 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company's previously existing revolving credit facility agreement under the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2015, by and between the Company, certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank 47 market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee at a rate determined by the reference to the aforementioned pricing grid. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.

⁽⁴⁾ In March 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2025 at 99.445% of par (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Furthermore, on June 20, 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2022 at 99.505% of par (the "2022 Senior Notes"), and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2027 at 99.858% of par (the "2027 Senior Notes"). Furthermore, the indenture for the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes contain certain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) merge, or consolidate or transfer, sell or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of March 31, 2018, no known events of default have occurred. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for further information on our existing debt instruments.

We believe that our Revolving Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentrations in any one financial institution. As of March 31, 2018, there were 13 financial institutions participating in the Revolving Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 13%. We have no reason at this time to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the facility in the event we elect to draw funds in the foreseeable future.

45

We have the ability to draw on our credit facilities or access other sources of financing options available to us in the credit and capital markets for, among other things, our restructuring initiatives, acquisition or integration-related costs, settlement of a material contingency, or a material adverse business or macroeconomic development, as well as for other general corporate business purposes.

Management believes that cash flows from operations, access to the credit and capital markets and our credit lines, on-hand cash and cash equivalents and our investments will provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, our plans for acquisitions, further business expansion and restructuring-related initiatives. Future events, such as acquisitions or joint ventures, and other similar transactions may require additional capital. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources. The Company expects total fiscal 2018 capital expenditures to be approximately $300 million.

Kate Spade & Company Acquisition

On July 11, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Kate Spade & Company for $18.50 per share in cash for a total of approximately $2.4 billion. As a result, Kate Spade has become a wholly owned subsidiary. The combination of the Company and Kate Spade & Company creates a leading luxury lifestyle company with a more diverse multi-brand portfolio supported by significant expertise in handbag design, merchandising, supply chain and retail operations.

Seasonality

The Company's results are typically affected by seasonal trends. During the first fiscal quarter, we build inventory for the holiday selling season. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as we generate higher net sales and operating income, especially during the holiday months of November and December. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales, operating income and operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of that expected for the full fiscal 2018. However, fluctuations in net sales, operating income and operating cash flows of the Company in any fiscal quarter may be affected by the timing of wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales, including adverse weather conditions or other macroeconomic events.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2017 10-K. Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our condensed consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates which are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of the MD&A in our fiscal 2017 10-K. As of March 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies.

As disclosed in our fiscal 2017 10-K, the Company performs its annual impairment assessment of goodwill, including trademarks and trade names, during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Furthermore, as previously disclosed, given the recency of our Stuart Weitzman acquisition, the fair values of the Stuart Weitzman brand reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names exceeded the respective carrying values by approximately 20%. Several factors could impact the brand's ability to achieve future cash flows, including optimization of the store fleet productivity, the impact of promotional activity in department stores, the consolidation or take-back of certain distributor relationships, the simplification of certain corporate overhead structures and other initiatives aimed at expanding certain higher performing categories of the business. While there was no impairment recorded in the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2018, given the relatively small excess of fair value over carrying value as noted above, if profitability trends decline during fiscal 2018 from those that are expected, it is possible that an interim test or our annual impairment test could result in an impairment of these assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with the Company's risk management policies, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

The quantitative disclosures in the following discussion are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency ExchangeRate Risk

Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our foreign currency exchange risk is limited. The Company is exposed to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its operating subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar and Euro denominated inventory purchases. To mitigate such risk, certain subsidiaries enter into forward currency contracts. As of March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017, forward currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $291.8 million and $146.9 million, respectively, were outstanding. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to the derivative instruments will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into derivative contracts with carefully selected financial institutions. The Company also reviews the creditworthiness of our counterparties on a regular basis. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to any undue concentration of counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative contracts as of March 31, 2018.

The Company is also exposed to transaction risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany loans which are not long term in investment nature. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the Euro, the Chinese Renminbi, the Japanese Yen and the British Pound Sterling. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these loans, the Company enters into forward currency contracts. As of March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017 the total notional values of outstanding forward foreign currency contracts related to these loans were $223.2 million and $95.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of outstanding forward currency contracts included in current assets at March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017 was $3.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency contracts included in current liabilities at March 31, 2018 and July 1, 2017 was $6.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities (collectively "the Facility") entered into under the credit agreement dated May 30, 2017, the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes") and investments.

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily attributable to debt outstanding under the Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%) or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined by reference to a grid, as defined in the Credit Agreement, based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt plus 600% of consolidated lease expense to (b) consolidated EBITDAR.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related to the fair value of our Senior Notes. At March 31, 2018, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $597 million, $388 million and $588 million, respectively. At July 1, 2017, the fair value of the 2025 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes was approximately $624 million, $395 million and $596 million, respectively. These fair values are based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and is classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate payable on each series of the 2022 and 2027 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or a substitute rating agency (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement furnished with the SEC on June 7, 2017), downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes of such series.

The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which defines our investment principles including credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Tapestry's intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the Company’s control, and litigation with present or former employees.

As part of Tapestry’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Company files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Tapestry may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Tapestry’s intellectual properties.

Although the Company’s litigation as a defendant is routine and incidental to the conduct of Tapestry’s business, as well as for any business of its size, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages.

The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Tapestry’s business or consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not entered into any transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. Accordingly, we have not been required to pay a penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017, as updated by the risk factor discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended on December 30, 2017.
