John D. Idol, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second quarter revenue and earnings results were above our expectations, as we continued to deliver innovative luxury fashion product and further expand our footprint worldwide. During the quarter, we continued to execute on our growth strategies with the successful launch of our Michael Kors ACCESS line of smartwatches and fitness trackers, the debut of our new Wonderlust fragrance, our new fall handbag collections, and the further expansion of our men’s offering. We also expanded our online presence, with the launch of digital flagships in several countries in Europe. That said, our results continued to be impacted by the declines in mall traffic and tourism in certain major cities, as well as our strategic decision to reduce sell-in of inventory to the U.S. wholesale channel. Despite these near term challenges, we remain confident in our ability to drive long term growth and increase shareholder value."

Share Repurchase Program
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 5,019,083 of the Company's ordinary shares for approximately $250.0 million in open market transactions. As of October 1, 2016, the remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program was $350.0 million. Share repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy, and other relevant factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Balance Sheet
As of October 1, 2016, the Company had $384.4 million of debt, which was recorded within short-term debt in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. This debt consisted of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities. The amount available for future borrowings is approximately $615.9 million.
Outlook
For fiscal 2017, the Company now expects total revenue to be approximately $4.55 billion and for comparable sales to decrease in the mid-single digit range. Operating margin is expected to be approximately 20.7% on a non-GAAP basis, excluding $11.3 million in one-time acquisition related costs, and approximately 20.5% on a GAAP basis, including the aforementioned one-time costs. For fiscal 2017, diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $4.37 to $4.43 on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the one-time costs, and $4.32 to $4.38 on a GAAP basis, including the one-time costs. This assumes 169.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 21%.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company expects total revenue to be between $1.365 billion and $1.380 billion, which includes a planned reduction in wholesale shipments, and a comparable sales decrease in the mid-single digit range. The Company expects operating margin to be approximately 25.0%. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $1.61 to $1.65 for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This assumes 166.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding and a tax rate of approximately 21%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Constant currency effects are non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitate comparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global Company, foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currency impacts by translating the current-year’s reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year’s foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constant currency performance measures discussed below should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP.”)
Additionally, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures relating to certain one-time costs associated with the acquisition of the Greater China licensee. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and in order to represent the manner in which the Company conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding non-recurring items helps its management and investors compare operating performance based on its ongoing operations. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures to be useful supplemental measures in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any amounts presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
