Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, sales discounts, credit losses, estimates of inventory net realizable value, the valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of deferred taxes, goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment, along with the estimated useful lives assigned to these assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Seasonality The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during its first fiscal quarter. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 are credit card receivables of $25 million and $18 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days. A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions): October 1, April 2, Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents $ 215 $ 169 Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets 4 3 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows $ 219 $ 172 Inventories, net Inventories primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process inventory. The combined total of raw materials and work in process inventory, net, recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $39 million and $31 million as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. Derivative Financial Instruments Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation. The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including a description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities. The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge. Net Investment Hedges The Company also uses fixed-to-fixed cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollars and the associated foreign currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, and has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation gains and losses (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense (income), net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold, diluted or liquidated. Leases The Company leases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to 10 years, generally require a fixed annual rent and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through September 2026. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores from previous restructuring activities. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease. The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement date, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the leases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company generally does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of non-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, material restrictions or covenants. The following table presents the Company’s supplemental cash flow information related to leases (in millions): Six Months Ended October 1, September 25, 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows used in operating leases (1) $ 248 $ 257 (1) Operating cash flows used in operating leases for the six months ended September 25, 2021 excluded $5 million of deferred rent payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded sublease income of $3 million and $5 million, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses. During the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, the Company recorded $2 million and $4 million, respectively, within restructuring and other charges for stores relating to our restructuring plan and selling, general and administrative expenses for all other locations. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded $3 million and $5 million, respectively, of rent concessions negotiated in connection with the impact of COVID-19 as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. During the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, the Company recorded $3 million and $10 million, respectively, of rent concessions negotiated in connection with the impact of COVID-19 as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. The aforementioned rent concessions were recorded as a reduction to variable lease expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. Net Income per Share The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and restricted share units (“RSUs”), were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securities are included in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are included as diluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method. The components of the calculation of basic net income per ordinary share and diluted net income per ordinary share are as follows (in millions, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 1, September 25, October 1, September 25, Numerator: Net income attributable to Capri $ 224 $ 200 $ 425 $ 419 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares 136,037,449 151,859,760 138,975,518 151,604,916 Weighted average dilutive share equivalents: Share options and restricted shares/units, and performance restricted share units 1,014,126 2,359,489 1,417,262 2,958,616 Diluted weighted average shares 137,051,575 154,219,249 140,392,780 154,563,532 Basic net income per share (1) $ 1.64 $ 1.31 $ 3.06 $ 2.76 Diluted net income per share (1) $ 1.63 $ 1.30 $ 3.03 $ 2.71 (1) Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated using unrounded numbers. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, share equivalents of 794,933 shares and 726,136 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the above calculations due to their anti-dilutive effect. Share equivalents of 415,331 shares and 513,088 shares have been excluded from the above calculations for the three and six months ended September 25, 2021, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect. See Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 for a complete disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and in January 2021, issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope”. Both of these updates aim to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. These updates provide optional expedients and exceptions, if certain criteria are met, for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendments were effective upon issuance and allowed companies to adopt the amendments on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information. Supplier Finance Programs In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” which makes a number of changes. The amendments require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company's disclosures. The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information. |
