3. | 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 employee benefit and share awards.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
Quarter Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

Diluted | $ | 0.84 | $ | 0.77 | $ | 2.84 | $ | 2.67 |
At March 30, 2013, options to purchase 5,087 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these options’ exercise prices, ranging from $51.56 to $78.46, were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
At March 31, 2012, options to purchase 71 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these options’ exercise prices, ranging from $72.57 to $76.17, were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company granted an executive officer a one-time PRSU award with a maximum grant value of $25,000. The shares of common stock under this PRSU award will be earned and distributed based on performance criteria which compare the Company’s total stockholder return over the performance period to the total stockholder return of the companies included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index on the date of grant (excluding the Company).
The following assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value of the executive officer award utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation: Expected volatility of 40.19%, risk-free interest rate of 0.76%, and dividend yield of 0.00%.

The results of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition within the International segment. The aggregate cash paid in connection with the acquisitions of the Malaysia and Korea businesses was $8,593 and $36,851, respectively, through March 30, 2013. The Company is obligated to make additional contingent payments to Shinsegae International, estimated at $10,000, with $6,000 and $4,000 scheduled to be paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, respectively.
Unaudited pro forma information related to these acquisitions is not included, as the impact of these transactions are not material to the consolidated results of the Company. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired as of the dates of acquisitions:
Assets Acquired | Estimated Fair Value | |||
Current assets | $ | 21,448 | ||
Fixed assets and other non-current assets | 2,351 | |||
Goodwill(1) | 31,645 | |||
Total assets acquired | $ | 55,444 | ||
Contingent payments | (10,000 | ) | ||
Total cash paid through March 30, 2013 | $ | 45,444 |
(1) Approximately $30,000 of the goodwill balance is expected to be tax deductible over a period of five years.
During fiscal 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of its domestic retail business in Europe by purchasing Hackett Limited’s 50% interest in the Coach Stores Limited joint venture, with the close and transition of control expected in July 2013.

7. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
Substantially all of the Company’s transactions involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars, which limits the Company’s exposure to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its foreign operating subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar-denominated inventory purchases and various cross-currency intercompany and related party loans. Coach uses derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. These derivative transactions are in accordance with the Company’s risk management policies, and the Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
Coach Japan and Coach Canada enter into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage the exchange rate risk related to their inventory purchases. As of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, zero-cost collar options with aggregate notional amounts of $66,474 and $310,891 were outstanding, respectively. As of March 30, 2013, the maturity dates range from April 2013 to June 2013.
As of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company had entered into various intercompany and related party loans denominated in various foreign currencies, with a total principal amount of $296,880 and $286,395 at March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these loans, the Company entered into forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts. As of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the total notional values of outstanding forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts were $193,036 and $206,648, respectively. As of March 30, 2013, the maturity dates of these contracts range from April 2013 to May 2014.
The Company’s derivative instruments are primarily designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of gains or losses on the derivative instruments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of gains or losses on the derivative instruments are recognized in current earnings and are included within net cash provided by operating activities.

The Company expects that$11,835of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 30, 2013 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. This amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

8. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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, with the levels defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Coach currently does not have any Level 1 financial 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.

(a) Fair value is determined using vendor or broker priced securities.
(b) Fair value is determined using a valuation model that takes into consideration the financial conditions of the issuer and the bond insurer, current market conditions and the value of the collateral bonds. We have determined that the significant majority of the inputs used to value this security fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the inputs are based on unobservable estimates. The fair value of this security has been $6,000 since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
(c) The fair value of these cash flow 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.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
OnMarch 26, 2013, the Company amended its JP Morgan revolving credit facility to expand available aggregate revolving commitments to $700,000 and to extend the maturity date to March 26, 2018. At Coach’s request and lenders’ consent, revolving commitments of the JP Morgan facility may be expanded to $1 billion. As of March 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings on the JP Morgan facility. Also at March 30, 2103, the Company had a separate $200,000 letter of credit arrangement in place, and $27,724 of letters of credit outstanding. These letters of credit, which expire at various datesthrough 2014, primarily collateralize the Company’s obligation to third parties for the purchase of inventory.
In the ordinary course of business, Coach is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, Coach’s General Counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on Coach’s balance sheet, statement of income or statement of cash flows.

At March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company’s intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization, consisted of $9,788 of trademarks and are included in Other Assets.
11. | Segment Information |
Effective as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company changed its reportable segments to a geographic focus, recognizing the expansion and growth of sales through its international markets. This is consistent with organizational changes implemented during fiscal 2012.
Prior to this change, the Company was organized and reported its results based on directly-operated and indirect business units. The Company has experienced substantial growth in its international business, and converted formerly wholesale businesses in several key markets such as China, Taiwan and Korea to Company-operated businesses. Reflecting this growth and corresponding declines in indirect businesses relative to Company-operated, the Company implemented a realignment of its business units based on geography, aligning with the organizational changes.

12. | Stock Repurchase Program |
Purchases of Coach’s common stock are made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through the open market. Repurchased shares of common stock remain authorized and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.
Coach accounts for stock repurchases and retirements by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances, beginning with the earliest issuance. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, cumulative stock repurchases allocated to retained earnings resulted in an accumulated deficit balance. Since its initial public offering, the Company has not experienced a net loss in any fiscal year, and the net accumulated deficit balance in stockholders’ equity is attributable to the cumulative stock repurchase activity.
The Company did not repurchase any shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 2,327shares, or$172,000of common stock, at an average cost of $73.92 per share. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased and retired7,066and 8,195shares, respectively, or$400,000and$531,000of common stock, respectively, at an average cost of$56.61and $64.79per share, respectively.
In October 2012, Coach’s Board of Directors authorized a $1,500,000 stock repurchase program for future stock repurchases through June 2015. As of March 30, 2013, Coach had $1,361,627remaining in the stock repurchase program.

13. | Recent Accounting Developments |
In September 2011, Accounting Standards Codification 350-20, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Goodwill,” was amended to allow entities to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired, and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for the Company’s goodwill impairment testing beginning in fiscal 2013. The Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
14. | Subsequent Events |
In April 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Related Companies, L.P. to develop a new office tower in Manhattan in the Hudson Yards district. The formation of the joint venture serves as a financing vehicle for the project, with the Company owning less than 43%. Upon completion of the office tower in 2015, the Company will retain a condominium interest serving as its new corporate headquarters. The Company expects to invest approximately $750,000 over the next three years. Depending on construction progress, the Company’s latest estimate contemplates an investment range of $115,000 to $125,000 in fiscal 2013. The building purchase will be financed by the Company with cash on hand, borrowings under its credit facility and proceeds from the sale of its current headquarters buildings. The joint venture is expected to be accounted for by the equity method, as the Company will be able to influence, but not control, the joint venture.

ITEM 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion of Coach’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with Coach’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms “Coach,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Coach, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Coach is a leading American marketer of fine accessories and gifts for women and men. Our product offerings include women’s and men’s bags, accessories, business cases, footwear, wearables, jewelry, sunwear, travel bags, watches and fragrance. Coach operates in two segments: North America and International. The North America segment includes sales to North American consumers through Coach-operated stores (including Internet sales) and sales to North American wholesale customers and distributors. The International segment includes sales to consumers through Coach-operated stores in Japan and mainland China (including Internet sales), Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Malaysia and sales to wholesale customers and distributors in over 25 countries. As Coach’s business model is based on multi-channel global distribution, our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel or geographic area.
In order to sustain growth within our global business, we continue to focus on two key growth strategies: increased global distribution and improved store sales productivity. To that end we are focused on four key initiatives:
· | Grow our Women’s business in North America and globally by transforming into a lifestyle brand. |
· | Leverage the global opportunity for the Coach brand by raising brand awareness and building market share in markets where Coach is under-penetrated, most notably in Asia. Outside of Asia, we are developing the brand opportunity as we expand into Europe, South America and Central America. |
· | Focus on the Men’s opportunity for the brand, notably in North America and Asia, while drawing on our long heritage in the category. We are leveraging the Men’s opportunity by opening new locations in both full-price and factory, and as a productivity driver with a broadened assortment, dual-gender stores and shop-in-shop store executions. |
· | Raise brand awareness and maximize e-commerce sales through our digital strategy. Key elements include coach.com, our global e-commerce sites, third-party flash sites, marketing sites and social networking. |
We believe the growth strategies described above will allow us to deliver long-term superior returns on our investments and drive increased cash flows from operating activities. However, the volatile macroeconomic environment, along with intensified competition and a promotional environment has created a challenging retail market. The Company believes long-term growth can still be achieved, in part through a combination of expanded distribution, a focus on innovation to support productivity and disciplined expense control. With a strong balance sheet and significant cash position, we have a business model that generates significant cash flow and we are in a position to invest in our brand while continuing to return capital to shareholders.

26 |
North America
Net sales increased7.4%to$792.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $737.9million during the same period in fiscal 2012, primarily driven by new and expanded stores, as well as significant traffic improvement in the Internet business and increased net revenue from wholesale stores, partially offset by the declining traffic in full price and factory stores. Overall, comparable store sales, including the Internet, increased by 1%. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Coach opened two net retail stores and 29 factory stores, including 14 Men’s, and expanded 14 factory stores in North America.
International
Net sales increased6.4%to$381.5million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $358.6million during the same period of fiscal 2012, primarily driven by sales from new and acquisition-related stores and double-digit percentage growth in China comparable store sales. These increases were partially offset by the negative foreign exchange impact of the Yen, which decreased Japan sales by$28.5million. Net sales include the Company-operated Korea and Malaysia businesses, which were acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and the Taiwan business, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, International opened 44 net new stores (excluding those acquired as a result of the acquisitions), with 33 net new stores in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, seven net new stores in Japan and four net new stores in the other regions.
Operating Income
Operating income increased3.3%to$348.5million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $337.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Operating margin decreased to29.3% as compared to 30.4% in the same period of the prior year.
Gross profit increased 7.6% to $880.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $818.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2012. Gross margin increased to 74.1%, as compared to 73.8% in the same period of the prior year. The gross margin increases resulting from cost savings and mix were substantially offset by higher promotional activity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.6% to $531.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $480.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 44.8% during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 43.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
Selling expenses were $362.8 million, or 30.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $328.2 million, or 29.6% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The dollar increase in selling expenses was due to new store openings and International stores reflecting higher sales. International selling expenses overall increased as a percentage of sales, due to the acquisitions of the Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan businesses and infrastructure investments to support Asia. China store expenses as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to operating efficiencies and sales leverage.
27 |
Advertising, marketing, and design costs were $65.5 million, or 5.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $58.8 million, or 5.3% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2012. The dollar increase was primarily due to higher creative marketing and digital media expenses, which includes our digital strategy through coach.com. The Company utilizes and continues to explore implementing new technologies such as our global web presence, with informational websites in 26 countries, social networking and blogs as cost-effective consumer communication opportunities to increase on-line and store sales and build brand awareness.
Distribution and consumer service expenses were $20.8 million, or 1.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $17.0 million, or 1.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in distribution and consumer service expenses is primarily the result of the increase in Internet purchases, resulting in increased packaging and shipping expense per dollar of sales.
Administrative expenses were $82.6 million, or 7.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $76.5 million, or 6.9% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2012.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 31.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to the 33.0% effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2013 is primarily due to the quarter impact of adjusting the estimated full year rate to 32.4% for fiscal 2013. The decrease in the fiscal 2013 tax rate reflects a shift in geographical sales mix.
Net Income
Net income was $238.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $225.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to the flow through of higher operating income and lower effective tax rate.
Net Income per Diluted Share
Net income per diluted share grew 9.5% to $0.84 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $0.77 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. This growth reflected leverage due to repurchases of Coach’s common stock, in addition to higher net income.

30 |
North America
Net sales increased 4.6% to $2,652.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $2,536.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2012, primarily driven by sales from new and expanded stores and a 1% increase in comparable store sales, partially offset by decreased shipments into wholesale stores. Significant traffic improvement in the North American Internet business drove the comparable store sales increase. Since the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2012, Coach opened two net retail stores and 29 factory stores, including 14 Men’s, and expanded 14 factory stores in North America. The Company’s licensing relationship with Jimlar in the footwear category extends through fiscal 2015.
International
Net sales increased 11.0% to $1,154.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $1,039.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2012, primarily driven by sales from new and acquisition-related stores, double-digit percentage growth in China comparable store sales and increased shipments to international wholesale customers, driven by expanded distribution. These increases were partially offset by the negative foreign exchange impact of the Yen, which decreased Japan sales by $42.1 million. The first nine months of fiscal 2013 results include net sales of the Company-operated Korea and Malaysia businesses, which were acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and the Taiwan business, acquired during the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Since the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2012, International opened 44 net new stores (excluding those acquired as a result of the acquisitions), with 33 net new stores in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, seven net new stores in Japan and four net new stores in the other regions.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 4.0% to $1.21 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $1.16 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Operating margin decreased to 31.3% as compared to 32.2% in the same period of the prior year. Excluding items affecting comparability of $20.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, operating income was $1.18 billion, or operating margin was 32.7%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
Gross profit increased 7.0% to $2.81 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $2.63 billion during the same period of fiscal 2012. Gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 increased to 73.0% as compared to 72.8% in the same period of the prior year, despite the impact of the higher cost of inventory in connection with the acquisitions. The gross margin increases resulting from cost savings and mix were substantially offset by higher promotional activity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.3% to $1.60 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $1.47 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, driven primarily by increased selling expenses in connection with the Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan business acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 41.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to 40.7% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012, reflecting investment in our growing international businesses. Excluding items affecting comparability of $20.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.45 billion, or 40.1% as a percentage of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
31 |
Selling expenses were $1.13 billion, or 29.4% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $1.00 billion, or 27.8% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The dollar increase in selling expenses was due to International stores reflecting higher sales and new store openings, and higher North American store and Internet expenses reflecting higher sales. International selling expenses overall increased as a percentage of sales, due to the acquisitions of the Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan businesses and infrastructure investments to support Asia. China store expenses as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to operating efficiencies and sales leverage.
Advertising, marketing, and design costs were $200.9 million, or 5.2% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to $186.2 million, or 5.2% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2012. The dollar increase was primarily due to creative and design expenditures and marketing expenses related to consumer communications, which includes our digital strategy through coach.com, the launch of our Legacy line, marketing sites and social networking. The Company utilizes and continues to explore implementing new technologies such as our global web presence, with informational websites in 26 countries, social networking and blogs as cost-effective consumer communication opportunities to increase on-line and store sales and build brand awareness. Also contributing to the increase were new design expenditures and development costs for new merchandising initiatives.
Distribution and consumer service expenses were $64.7 million, or 1.7% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to $51.0 million, or 1.4% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase in distribution and consumer service expenses is primarily the result of the change in sales mix of Internet purchases, resulting in increased packaging and shipping expense per dollar of sales.
Administrative expenses were $205.4 million, or 5.3% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $227.6 million, or 6.3% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2012. The decrease is due to the absence of a charitable contribution in the current fiscal period, as well as leveraging of administrative expenses over the increased sales base. Excluding items affecting comparability of $20.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, administrative expenses were $207.3 million, or 5.7% as a percentage of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 32.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the 31.9% effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded the effect of a revaluation of certain deferred tax asset balances due to a change in Japan’s corporate tax laws and the favorable completion of a multi-year transfer pricing agreement with Japan, which resulted in the lower effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Excluding items affecting comparability, the effective tax rate was 33.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2013 is primarily due to the change in geographical sales mix.
Net Income
Net income increased 3.3% to $813.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $787.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to the flow through of higher operating income.
32 |
Net Income per Diluted Share
Net income per diluted share grew 6.3% to $2.84 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to $2.67 in the nine months of fiscal 2012. This growth reflected leverage due to repurchases of Coach’s common stock and flow through of higher net income.
33 |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $40.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to an increase of $229.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The $270.8 million period over period decrease is primarily the result of financing and investing activities, partially offset by increased cash from operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,039.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $938.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase of $100.5 million was due to $42.5 million of higher net income adjusted for non-cash depreciation. Overall, changes in working capital accounts resulted in a net $22.8 million source of cash in the current year period, as compared to $16.5 million in the prior year period. Changes in inventory balances resulted in a cash outflow of $9.4 million in the current year period as compared to $64.3 million in the prior fiscal period. This period over period change was driven by the lower inventory balances at the end of fiscal 2011. Changes in accrued liabilities balances resulted in a cash inflow of $39.9 million in the current fiscal period as compared to $92.7 million in the prior period, with the period over period change primarily driven by the timing and amounts of certain expenses, including Coach Foundation contributions, accrued bonus and tax payments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $374.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $172.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, with the increase of $201.8 million driven by purchases of investments and higher planned capital investment. During fiscal 2013, the Company invested $100.2 million in a corporate debt securities portfolio through one of its subsidiaries outside of the U.S., consisting of high-credit quality U.S. and non-U.S. issued corporate debt securities, and $50.0 million in time deposits, with no similar investment activity in the prior fiscal year period. Purchases of property and equipment were $159.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, or $48.4 million higher than the first nine months of fiscal 2012, reflecting planned increased capital investment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $697.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, or an increase of $166.8 million as compared to the prior fiscal year period. This net increase was primarily attributable to $144.1 million higher dividend payments and lower proceeds from share-based awards, partially offset by $131.0 million lower expenditures for common stock repurchases. The higher dividend payments were due to timing and an increased dividend rate per share. The Company received $113.1 million less net proceeds from share-based awards and $40.5 million less excess tax benefits, both resulting from decreased option exercises in the current year period.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On June 18, 2012, the Company established a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with certain lenders and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the primary lender and administrative agent (the “JP Morgan facility”) with an original expiration date of June 2017. On March 26, 2013, the Company amended the JP Morgan facility to expand available aggregate revolving commitments to $700.0 million and to extend the maturity date to March 26, 2018. The JP Morgan facility is available to finance the seasonal working capital requirements or general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. At Coach’s request and lenders’ consent, revolving commitments of the JP Morgan facility may be expanded to $1.0 billion. As of March 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings on the JP Morgan facility.
34 |
Borrowings under the JP Morgan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Coach’s option, either (a) 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 an applicable margin or (b) an alternate base rate (which is a rate equal to the greatest of (1) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (3) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1%). Additionally, Coach will pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the JP Morgan Facility, and certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued. At March 30, 2013, the commitment fee was 7.5 basis points.
The JP Morgan facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. Coach has been in compliance with all covenants of the facility since its inception.
As of March 30, 2013, Coach Japan had credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions to provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, allowing a maximum borrowing of 6.0 billion yen, or approximately $64 million. Interest is based on the Tokyo Interbank rate plus a margin of 25 to 30 basis points. During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, there were no borrowings under these facilities.
As of March 30, 2013, Coach Shanghai Limited had a credit facility to provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, allowing a maximum borrowing of 63.0 million Chinese renminbi, or approximately $10 million. Interest is based on the People's Bank of China rate. During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, there were no borrowings under this facility.
Both the Coach Japan and Coach Shanghai Limited credit facilities can be terminated at any time by the respective financial institutions, and there is no guarantee that they will be available to the Company in future periods.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In October 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program to acquire up to $1.5 billion of Coach’s outstanding common stock through June 2015. Purchases of Coach common stock are made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other uses. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 7.1 million and 8.2 million shares respectively, or $400.0 million and $531.0 million of common stock, respectively, at an average cost of $56.61 and $64.79 per share, respectively. As ofMarch 30, 2013, Coach had $1,361.6million remaining in the stock repurchase program.
Capital Expenditures and Working Capital
In April 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Related Companies, L.P. to develop a new office tower in Manhattan in the Hudson Yards district. The formation of the joint venture serves as a financing vehicle for the project, with the Company owning less than 43%. Upon completion of the office tower in 2015, the Company will retain a condominium interest serving as its new corporate headquarters. The Company expects to invest approximately $750 million over the next three years. Depending on construction progress, the Company’s latest estimate contemplates an investment range of $115 million to $125 million in fiscal 2013, of which approximately $30 million was included in the $250 million of forecasted capital expenditures. The balance is considered an investment in the joint venture. The building purchase will be financed by the Company with cash on hand, borrowings under its credit facility and proceeds from the sale of its current headquarters buildings. The joint venture is expected to be accounted for by the equity method, as the Company will be able to influence, but not control, the joint venture.

Management believes that cash flow from operations, on hand cash, cash equivalents and its credit lines will provide adequate funds for the foreseeable working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and the common stock repurchase program. Any future 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 Coach on acceptable terms or at all. Coach’s ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreements, depends on its 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 Coach’s control.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources.
Seasonality
Because Coach products are frequently given as gifts, Coach has historically realized, and expects to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the holiday months of November and December. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales. Over the past several years, we have achieved higher levels of growth in the non-holiday quarters, which has reduced these seasonal fluctuations.
Coach experiences significant seasonal variations in its working capital requirements. During the first fiscal quarter Coach builds inventory for the holiday selling season, opens new retail stores and generates higher levels of trade receivables. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as Coach generates greater consumer sales and collects wholesale accounts receivable. During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, Coach purchased approximately $1.05 billion of inventory, which was funded by operating cash flow.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
FISCAL 2012 ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The reported SG&A expenses, operating income and provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 reflect certain items which affect the comparability of our results. These metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis for these periods to exclude the impact of these items.
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 primary internal financial reporting excluded these items affecting comparability. In addition, the compensation committee of the Company’s Board will use these non-GAAP measures when assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.
We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. In addition, we believe excluding the items affecting comparability assists investors in developing expectations of future performance. These items affecting comparability do not represent the Company’s direct, ongoing business operations. 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.
Charitable Contributions and Tax Adjustments
During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company decreased the provision for income taxes by $12.4 million, primarily as a result of recording the effect of a revaluation of certain deferred tax asset balances due to a change in Japan’s corporate tax laws and the favorable settlement of a multi-year transfer pricing agreement with Japan. The Company used the tax favorability to contribute $20.3 million to the Coach Foundation. The Company believes that both the charitable contribution and tax favorability should be excluded to reflect our ongoing business operations. This exclusion is consistent with the way management views its results and is the basis on which incentive compensation was calculated for fiscal 2012.

Currency Fluctuation Effects
The percentage and U.S. dollar increase in sales in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2013 have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating the Japanese Yen into U.S. dollars and comparing these figures to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.
We believe that presenting Coach Japan sales, including and excluding currency fluctuation effects, will help investors and analysts to understand the effect on these important performance measures of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. 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. The accounting policies and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 30, 2013, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.
Recent Accounting Developments
In September 2011, Accounting Standards Codification 350-20, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Goodwill,” was amended to allow entities to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired, and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for the Company’s goodwill impairment testing beginning in fiscal 2013. The Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Coach operates in foreign countries, which exposes the Company to translation and transaction risks associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company’s financial instruments are subject to market risk arising from interest rate fluctuations. These inherent market risks, which represents potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows, arises from adverse changes in these foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. Coach 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 Coach’s risk management policies. Coach does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The following quantitative disclosures are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Exchange
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.
Substantially all of Coach’s purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding international consumer sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk. However, Coach is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from its foreign operating subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Coach Japan and Coach Canada enter into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage these risks. As of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, open foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges with a notional amount of $66.5 million and $310.9 million, respectively, were outstanding.
Substantially all of Coach’s fiscal 2013 non-licensed product needs are purchased from independent manufacturers in countries other than the United States, including China, Vietnam, India, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy, Ecuador, France and Great Britain. Additionally, sales are made through international channels to third party distributors.
Coach is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to various cross-currency intercompany and related party loans. These loans are denominated in various foreign currencies, with a total principal amount of $296.9 million and $286.4 million as of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. To manage the exchange rate risk related to these loans, the Company entered into forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts, the terms of which include the exchange of foreign currency fixed interest for U.S. dollar fixed interest and an exchange of the foreign currency and U.S. dollar based notional values at the maturity dates of the contracts, the latest of which is May 2014. As of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the total notional values of outstanding forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts were $193.0 million and $206.6 million, respectively.
The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $10.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current liabilities at March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $0.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
40 |
Interest Rate
Coach is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its investments, revolving credit facilities and long-term debt.
The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments, specifies 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.
At March 30, 2013, the Company’s short-term investments, classified within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet, consisted of $50.0 million of time deposits with original maturities ranging from four to six months, and $2.1 million of corporate debt securities with maturities in early calendar year 2014. The Company held no short-term investments at June 30, 2012.
The Company’s non-current investments, classified as available-for-sale consisted of a $6.0 million auction rate security at both March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, as the auction rate securities’ adjusted book value equaled its fair value. There were no unrealized gains or losses associated with this investment.
Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s investment portfolio also consisted of high-credit quality U.S. and non-U.S. issued corporate debt securities, classified as available-for-sale, with a fair value of $99.8 million at March 30, 2013. These securities have maturity dates between calendar years 2014 and 2016.At March 30, 2013, $2.1 million of these securities were included in short-term investments within current assets, and $97.7 million were included as non-current investments within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded within other comprehensive income.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $876.4 million and $917.2 million at March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, consist of a cash equivalent portfolio primarily comprised of corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency securities. As the Company does not have the intent to sell and will not be required to sell these securities until maturity, cash equivalents are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost.
As of March 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its JP Morgan facility, the Coach Japan credit facility, and the Coach Shanghai Limited credit facility. The fair value of any future borrowing may be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates.
As of March 30, 2013, Coach’s outstanding debt, including the current portion, was $22.6 million. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate applied to the fair value of debt would not have a material impact on earnings or cash flows of Coach.

ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of Lew Frankfort, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Jane Nielsen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 30, 2013.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Coach is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Coach’s intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured upon premises within Coach’s control and litigation with present or former employees.
As part of Coach’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, Coach files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Coach 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 Coach’s intellectual properties.
Although Coach’s litigation with present or former employees is routine and incidental to the conduct of Coach’s business, as well as for any business employing significant numbers of employees, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages for actions claiming discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, religion, disability or other legally protected characteristic or for termination of employment that is wrongful or in violation of implied contracts.
Coach believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Coach’s business or consolidated financial statements.
Coach 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 |
Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
We could experience cost overruns and disruptions to our operations in connection with the construction of, and relocation to, our new global corporate headquarters.
The Company has entered into various agreements relating to the development of the Company’s new global corporate headquarters in a new office building to be located at the Hudson Yards development site in New York City. Construction of the new building has commenced and occupancy in the new global headquarters is currently expected to take place in 2015. The aggregate cost of the new global headquarters, including, but not limited to, land costs, development fees, build-out fees and transactions expenses is expected to be approximately $750 million over the next three years. Depending on construction progress, the Company’s latest estimate contemplates an investment range of $115 million to $125 million in fiscal 2013. The new global corporate headquarters will be financed by the Company with cash on hand, borrowings under its credit facility and proceeds from the sale of its current headquarters building.
43 |
Due to the inherent difficulty in estimating costs associated with projects of this scale and nature, together with the fact that we are in the early stages of construction of the project, certain of the costs associated with this project may be higher than estimated and it may take longer than expected to complete the project. In addition, the process of moving our headquarters is inherently complex and not part of our day to day operations. Thus, that process could cause significant disruption to our operations and cause the temporary diversion of management resources, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we cannot give any assurance that our developer will complete its obligations in a timely manner or at all or how changes in the overall development of the Hudson Yards project may impact the development of, or value of, the building in which our new global headquarters will be located. Further, our developer has financing, construction and development obligations to parties other than us, and we cannot give any assurance as to how those obligations may impact the development of the project.
The ownership of real property, such as the new global corporate headquarters, also subjects us to various other risks, including, among others:
- | the possibility of environmental contamination and the costs associated with correcting any environmental problems; |
- | the risk of financial loss in excess of amounts covered by insurance, or uninsured risks, such as the loss caused by damage to the new building as a result of fire, floods, or other natural disasters; and |
- | adverse changes in the value of these properties, due to interest rate changes, changes in the neighborhood in which the property is located, or other factors. |
