Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations
COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company's performance during fiscal 2023 was adversely impacted due to lockdowns in certain regions, most notably inGreater China , as a result of an increase in infections due to variants of COVID-19. These lockdowns resulted in store closures and an overall decline in demand in the region. The situation continues to be very volatile and infection rates and government restrictions may continue to persist inGreater China or elsewhere. Macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures. Our business is affected by global economic conditions and the related impact on levels of consumer spending worldwide. The war inUkraine that began inFebruary 2022 has created significant economic uncertainty in the region and caused us to stop all shipments toRussia andUkraine . While our business inRussia andUkraine represented less than 1% of our total net sales for Fiscal 2022, the war has caused broader macroeconomic implications that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future, including the continued weakening of the Euro against the US dollar, increases in fuel prices, volatility in the financial markets and a decline in consumer spending which may negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations for Fiscal 2023. In addition, inflationary pressures, including increased labor, raw materials, and freight costs are adversely impacting our earnings. Purchases of discretionary luxury items, such as the accessories, footwear and apparel that we produce, tend to decline when disposable income is lower or when there are recessions, inflationary pressures or other economic uncertainty. Luxury goods trends and demand for our accessories and related merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, global consumer spending, macroeconomic factors, overall levels of consumer travel and spending on discretionary items as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. Through 2019, the personal luxury goods market grew at a mid-single digit rate over the past 20 years. However, in 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, the personal luxury goods market declined 22%. The personal luxury goods market experienced a strong rebound in 2021, with sales exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Market studies forecast the personal luxury goods industry will increase at low-double-digit compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2025. Future growth is expected to be driven by e-commerce, Chinese consumers and younger generations; however, growth may be limited by concerns over inflation and the possibility of a global recession. Retail Fleet Optimization. We also continue to adjust our retail operating strategy to the changing business environment. We have finalized the planned store closures under the Capri Retail Store Optimization Program as of the end of Fiscal 2022. At the end of Fiscal 2022, we closed a total of 167 stores and recorded total net restructuring charges of$14 million relating to the program. We recorded net restructuring charges of$9 million and$5 million during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively, relating to the plan. Collectively, we continue to anticipate ongoing savings as a result of the store closures and lower depreciation associated with the impairment charges being recorded. 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign currency fluctuation. Our consolidated operations are impacted by the relationships between our reporting currency, theU.S. Dollar, and those of our non-United States subsidiaries whose functional/local currency is other than theU.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Japanese Yen, the Korean Won and the Canadian Dollar, among others. We continue to expect volatility in the global foreign currency exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on the reported results of certain of our non-United States subsidiaries in the future, when translated to theU.S. Dollar. Disruptions or delays in shipping and distribution and other supply chain constraints. We have been experiencing global logistics challenges, including delays as a result of port congestion, vessel availability, container shortages and temporary factory closures which are expected to continue throughout Fiscal 2023. Our freight costs have increased as carrier rates for ocean and air shipments have increased significantly, and the supply chain disruptions have caused us to increase our use of air freight with greater frequency than in the past. Any future disruptions in our shipping and distribution network, including impacts on our supply chain due to temporary closures of our manufacturing partners and shipping and fulfillment constraints, could have a negative impact on our results of operations. See Item 1A - "Risk Factors" - "We primarily use foreign manufacturing contractors and independent third-party agents to source our finished goods and our business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities, including disruptions or delays in manufacturing or shipments" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedApril 2, 2022 for additional discussion. Costs of manufacturing, tariffs, and import regulations. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. This volatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time. In addition, our costs may be impacted by sanction tariffs imposed on our products due to changes in trade terms. We are also subject to government import regulations, including United States Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") withhold release orders. The imposition of taxes, duties and quotas, the withdrawal from or material modification to trade agreements, and/or if CBP detains shipments of our goods pursuant to a withhold release order could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented bythe United States or other countries, the cost of our products could increase which could adversely affect our business. In addition, commodity prices and tariffs may have an impact on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible and diversifying the countries where we produce. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products. Segment Information

Such costs primarily include certain administrative, corporate occupancy, shared service and information systems expenses, including ERP system implementation costs and Capri transformation program costs. In addition, certain other costs are not allocated to segments, including restructuring and other charges and COVID-19 related charges. The segment structure is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker plans and allocates resources, manages the business and assesses performance. The following table presents our total revenue and income from operations by segment for the three and six months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 (in millions): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 1, September 25, October 1, September 25, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Total revenue: Versace$ 308 $ 282$ 583 $ 522 Jimmy Choo 142 137 314 279 Michael Kors 962 881 1,875 1,752 Total revenue$ 1,412 $ 1,300 $ 2,772 $ 2,553 Income from operations: Versace$ 62 $ 55$ 114 $ 103 Jimmy Choo 8 1 27 12 Michael Kors 248 220 470 460 Total segment income from operations 318 276 611 575 Less: Corporate expenses (55) (45) (115) (86) Impairment of assets (11) (33) (11) (33) Restructuring and other charges (3) (8) (6) (11) COVID-19 related charges 3 5 4 8 Total income from operations$ 252 $

Key Consolidated Performance Indicators and Statistics
We use a number of key indicators of operating results to evaluate our performance, including the following (dollars in millions):
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 1, September 25, October 1, September 25, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Total revenue$ 1,412 $ 1,300 $ 2,772 $ 2,553 Gross profit as a percent of total revenue 67.4 % 68.0 % 66.8 % 68.2 % Income from operations$ 252 $ 195 $ 483 $ 453 Income from operations as a percent of total revenue 17.8 % 15.0 % 17.4 % 17.7 % 35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seasonality
We experience certain effects of seasonality with respect to our business. We generally experience greater sales during our third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales, and the lowest sales during our first fiscal quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In applying such policies, we must use certain assumptions that are based on our informed judgments, assessments of probability and best estimates. Estimates, by their nature, are subjective and are based on analysis of available information, including current and historical factors and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. While our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our critical accounting policies are disclosed, in full, in the MD&A section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedApril 2, 2022 . There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates sinceApril 2, 2022 . 36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended
The following table details the results of our operations for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , and expresses the relationship of certain line items to total revenue as a percentage (dollars in millions): % of Total Revenue for Three Months Ended the Three Months Ended October 1, September 25, October 1, September 25, 2022 2021 $ Change % Change 2022 2021 Statements of Operations Data: Total revenue$ 1,412 $ 1,300 $ 112 8.6 % Cost of goods sold 461 416 45 10.8 % 32.6 % 32.0 % Gross profit 951 884 67 7.6 % 67.4 % 68.0 % Selling, general and administrative expenses 642 599 43 7.2 % 45.5 % 46.1 % Depreciation and amortization 43 49 (6) (12.2) % 3.0 % 3.8 % Impairment of assets 11 33 (22) (66.7) % 0.8 % 2.5 % Restructuring and other charges 3 8 (5) (62.5) % 0.2 % 0.6 % Total operating expenses 699 689 10 1.5 % 49.5 % 53.0 % Income from operations 252 195 57 29.2 % 17.8 % 15.0 % Other income, net (1) (2) 1 NM (0.1) % (0.2) % Interest expense (income), net 5 (5) 10 NM 0.4 % (0.4) % Foreign currency (gain) loss (11) 4 (15) NM (0.8) % 0.3 % Income before income taxes 259 198 61 30.8 % 18.3 % 15.2 % Provision (benefit) for income taxes 35 (2) 37 NM 2.5 % (0.2) % Net income 224 200 24 12.0 % Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest - - - NM Net income attributable to Capri$ 224 $ 200$ 24 12.0 % NM Not meaningful Total Revenue Total revenue increased$112 million , or 8.6%, to$1.412 billion for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$1.300 billion for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately$116 million as a result of the strengthening of theU.S. dollar compared to all major currencies in which we operate for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 . On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased$228 million , or 17.5%. The increase is attributable to increased retail and wholesale revenues throughout theAmericas and EMEA, partially offset by decreased revenues inGreater China due to COVID-19 related disruptions, for each of our brands. Gross Profit Gross profit increased$67 million , or 7.6%, to$951 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$884 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of$83 million . Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 67.4% and 68.0% for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , respectively. Our gross profit margin decreased primarily due to increased supply chain costs and unfavorable channel mix for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . 37 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased$10 million , or 1.5%, to$699 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$689 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately$66 million . Total operating expenses decreased to 49.5% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 53.0% for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased$43 million , or 7.2%, to$642 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$599 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to increased e-commerce costs from higher revenue and higher corporate costs for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 . Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 45.5% for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 46.1% for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to decreased retail store costs as a percentage of revenue due to higher revenue, partially offset by increased e-commerce costs as a percentage of revenue for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased$10 million , or 22.2%, to$55 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 as compared to$45 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to an increase in costs related to the ongoing ERP system implementation and Capri transformation projects.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased$6 million , or 12.2%, to$43 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$49 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 3.0% for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 3.8% for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.
Impairment of Assets
During the three months ended
Restructuring and Other Charges
We recognized restructuring and other charges of$3 million and$8 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , respectively. The charges are primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments' results (See Segment Information above for additional information).
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased$57 million , to$252 million for three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$195 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 17.8% for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 15.0% for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income. 38 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest Expense (Income), net
For the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , we recognized$5 million of interest expense compared to$5 million of interest income for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The$10 million increase in interest expense (income), net, is primarily due to higher effective interest rates on our outstanding debt, higher average borrowings outstanding and lower interest income from our net investment hedges, partially offset by higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents (see Note 9 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss
For the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , we recognized a net foreign currency gain of$11 million , primarily attributable to a gain related to an undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contract partially offset by losses attributable to intercompany transactions among our subsidiaries. For the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , we recognized a net foreign currency loss of$4 million , primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was$35 million for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to a benefit of$2 million for the three months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Our effective tax rates were 13.5% and (1.0)% for the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily related to a benefit recognized during the prior year due to newly enacted tax legislation inItaly , which allowed a step up in certain intangible assets and a reduction of deferred tax liabilities. See Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the effective tax rate for the current fiscal year quarter. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes inUnited States federal, state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.
Net Income Attributable to Capri
As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased

$ 6 1.4 % NM Not meaningful Total Revenue Total revenue increased$219 million , or 8.6%, to$2.772 billion for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$2.553 billion for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of approximately$199 million , as a result of the strengthening of theU.S. dollar compared to all major currencies in which we operate for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 . On a constant currency basis, our total revenue increased$418 million , or 16.4%. The increase is attributable to increased retail and wholesale revenues throughout theAmericas and EMEA, partially offset by decreased revenues inGreater China due to COVID-19 related disruptions for each of our brands. Gross Profit Gross profit increased$112 million , or 6.4%, to$1.852 billion for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$1.740 billion for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , which included net unfavorable foreign currency effects of$141 million . Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 66.8% for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 68.2% for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to increased supply chain costs and unfavorable channel mix for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . 41 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased$82 million , or 6.4%, to$1.369 billion for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$1.287 billion for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Our operating expenses included a net favorable foreign currency impact of approximately$112 million . Total operating expenses decreased to 49.4% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 50.4% for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased$120 million , or 10.5%, to$1.264 billion for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$1.144 billion for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to increased e-commerce costs on higher revenue, higher retail store and corporate costs and increased marketing investments for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 . Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 45.6% for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 44.8% for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to increased e-commerce costs partially offset by leveraging retail store costs as a percentage of revenue for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Unallocated corporate expenses, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above, but are not directly attributable to a reportable segment, increased$29 million , or 33.7%, to$115 million for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 as compared to$86 million for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , primarily due to an increase in costs related to the ongoing ERP system implementation and Capri transformation projects.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased$11 million , or 11.1%, to$88 million for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$99 million for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Depreciation and amortization decreased to 3.2% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 3.9% for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to lower depreciation due to lower capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.
Impairment of Assets
For the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , we recognized asset impairment charges of$11 million and$33 million , respectively, which primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets at certain Michael Kors store locations. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Restructuring and Other Charges
We recognized restructuring and other charges of$6 million and$11 million for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , respectively. These charges are primarily related to equity awards associated with the acquisition of Versace. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Restructuring and other charges are not evaluated as part of our reportable segments' results (see Segment Information above for additional information).
Income from Operations
As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased$30 million , to$483 million for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$453 million for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 17.4% for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to 17.7% for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . See Segment Information above for a reconciliation of our segment operating income to total operating income.
Interest Expense (Income), net
For the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , we recognized$1 million of interest expense compared to$4 million of interest income for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The$5 million increase in interest expense (income), net, is primarily due to higher effective interest rates on our outstanding debt and higher average borrowings outstanding, partially 42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
offset by higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents (see Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss
For the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , we recognized a net foreign currency gain of$7 million , primarily attributable to a gain related to an undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contract partially offset by losses attributable to intercompany transactions among our subsidiaries. For the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , we recognized a net foreign currency loss of$5 million , primarily attributable to the revaluation and settlement of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency, as well as the remeasurement of dollar-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries. Provision for Income Taxes For the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , we recognized$63 million of income tax expense compared to$35 million for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . Our effective tax rate was 12.9% and 7.7% for the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 andSeptember 25, 2021 , respectively. The increase in our effective rate was primarily due to a net benefit recognized in the prior year due to newly enacted tax legislation inItaly , partially offset by the impact of the tax rate change in theUnited Kingdom during the prior year. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes inUnited States federal, state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from operations, along with borrowings available under our credit facilities (see below discussion regarding "Revolving Credit Facilities") and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund the ongoing cash requirements, including our working capital needs and capital investments in our business, debt repayments, acquisitions, returns of capital, including share repurchases and other corporate activities. We believe that the cash generated from operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities and available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months and beyond, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our store growth plans, investments in corporate and distribution facilities, continued systems development, e-commerce and marketing initiatives. We spent$86 million on capital expenditures during the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 . The following table sets forth key indicators of our liquidity and capital resources (in millions): As of October 1, April 2, 2022 2022 Balance Sheet Data: Cash and cash equivalents$ 215 $ 169 Working capital$ 807 $ 325 Total assets$ 7,202 $ 7,480 Short-term debt$ 15 $ 29 Long-term debt$ 1,585 $ 1,131 Six Months Ended October 1, September 25, 2022 2021

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased$357 million to$39 million during the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to$396 million for the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 , as a result of a decrease in our net income after non-cash adjustments and decreases related to changes in our working capital. The decreases related to the changes in our working capital are primarily attributable to fluctuations in the timing of payments and receipts when compared to the prior year.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was$323 million during the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to net cash used in investing activities of$48 million during the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The increase in net cash provided by investing activities were primarily attributable to the settlement of certain net investment hedges of$409 million during the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 partially offset by higher capital expenditures of$38 million compared to prior year.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was$209 million during the six months endedOctober 1, 2022 , as compared to$342 million during the six months endedSeptember 25, 2021 . The decrease of cash used in financing activities of$133 million was primarily attributable to an increase in net debt borrowing of$653 million , partially offset by a$503 million increase in cash payments to repurchase our ordinary shares compared to prior year. 45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As ofOctober 1, 2022 , there were 17 financial institutions participating in the facility, with none maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 10%. We have no reason to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Credit Facility.
