Jide Zeitlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry, Inc., said, “We are pleased with our overall holiday results, which outperformed plan driven by continued momentum at Coach and a sequential improvement at Kate Spade. In addition, we exited the quarter in a good inventory position.”

“Coach delivered its ninth consecutive quarter of positive comparable store sales growth. North America led the global comp, with notable strength online, and higher average unit retail driving gross margin expansion. In aggregate our international business was even with the prior year with strong comp growth in Other Asia, Europe and Mainland China, offsetting continued weakness in Hong Kong SAR and a slight decline in Japan, reflecting the impact of the consumption tax increase.”

“Kate Spade’s comparable store sales improved sequentially as we further implemented key product and merchandising actions to strengthen the assortment and enhance the brand’s novelty offering, while also moving through excess inventory.”

“Stuart Weitzman sales were impacted by softer demand across channels as we lacked compelling newness in our heritage boot offering. We have built on these learnings and are reinvigorating our footwear icons, while injecting innovation into the overall assortment in keeping with market trends.”

Mr. Zeitlin continued, “At Tapestry, we entered our third fiscal quarter with strong underlying trends, notably at Coach, as sales growth accelerated from the holiday period. Therefore, we had anticipated maintaining our FY20 guidance despite continuing headwinds in Hong Kong SAR and challenges at Stuart Weitzman. However, the escalating coronavirus outbreak is now significantly impacting our business in China, resulting in the closure of the majority of our stores on the Mainland.”

“We now expect that our second half results could be negatively impacted by approximately $200-$250 million in sales and $0.35-$0.45 in earnings per diluted share, given current trends in China. If the situation further deteriorates, or the outbreak affects demand outside of the country, this impact could be worse.”

“We are confident in our ability to effectively navigate through this period of uncertainty. We are managing our response to best protect our people, our brands and every aspect of our business.”

“Our primary concern is the health and well-being of our team, their families and their local communities who are dealing with the daily reality of this situation. We believe in the resilience of the Chinese people and our view that China represents a significant opportunity for our brands is unchanged. Our strong balance sheet, cash position and globally diversified sourcing base and supply chain provide the flexibility to operate our Company for the long term and to emerge stronger, as we have many times in the past.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliation:

During the fiscal second quarter, the Company recorded certain charges associated with its ERP implementation efforts and Organization-related and Integration activities. Taken together, these items decreased the Company’s second quarter reported net income by $5 million or about $0.02 per diluted share. Please refer to the financial tables included herein for a detailed reconciliation of the Company’s reported to non-GAAP results.

Overview of Second Quarter 2020 Tapestry, Inc. Results:

Fiscal second quarter results by brand were as follows:

Coach Second Quarter 2020 Results:

Kate Spade Second Quarter 2020 Results:

Stuart Weitzman Second Quarter 2020 Results:

Mr. Zeitlin added, “Our strategic intent to drive organic growth and profitability is unwavering. As discussed during our first quarter earnings call, we recently embarked on a comprehensive review of our business. Our findings show there is an opportunity to accelerate long-term growth in all three of our brands. To realize this potential, we need to become more responsive to changing consumer demands. This requires integrating data analytics and consumer insights in all aspects of the business, from design to product development to planning and allocation to marketing. We bring a sense of urgency to this work and are dedicating resources to formulate and implement our strategy to drive value and shareholder returns. We will share the key components of this plan at an analyst and investor day this summer.”

“We are stewards of three powerful brands and, with the executive appointments announced separately this morning, we believe we have the leadership team and the capabilities to deliver strong, sustainable growth which will define the next chapter at Tapestry,” Mr. Zeitlin concluded.

Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook:

The following outlook is provided on a non-GAAP basis and replaces all previous guidance. Our guidance now includes an estimated negative impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China of approximately $200-$250 million in sales and $0.35-$0.45 in diluted earnings per share. Given the dynamic nature of the situation, the potential financial impact to our business could be materially different.

Therefore, the Company expects revenues for Fiscal 2020 to approximate $5.9 billion. In addition, the Company now projects earnings per diluted share to be approximately $2.15-$2.25.

Fiscal Year 2020 Outlook - Non-GAAP Adjustments:

The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP presented in this release and on the Company’s conference call because certain material items that impact these measures, such as the timing and exact amount of costs associated with Organization-related and Integration activities, the Company’s ERP implementation, impairment charges and the impact of select store closures have not yet occurred as the Company continues to refine its plans. Accordingly, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. Where possible, the Company has identified the estimated impact of the items excluded from its Fiscal 2020 guidance.

This Fiscal 2020 non-GAAP guidance excludes (1) expected pre-tax charges of approximately $30 to $40 million attributable to the Company’s ERP implementation efforts; (2) estimated pre-tax Organization-related and Integration charges of approximately $40 to $50 million; (3) impairment charges on right-of-use assets and property and equipment of approximately $76 million incurred in the fiscal first quarter; and (4) projected charges related to select store closures as the Company seeks to optimize its fleet.

The Company will host a conference call to review these results at 8:30 a.m. (ET) today, February 6, 2020.

(1) Adjustments within Gross profit are recorded within Cost of sales.

The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The financial information presented above, as well as gross margin, SG&A expense ratio, and operating margin, have been presented both including and excluding the effect of certain items related to the Company’s ERP Implementation and Organization-related and Integration Costs for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and ERP Implementation and Integration & Acquisition-Related Costs for the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Percentage increases/decreases in net sales for the Company and each segment have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating foreign-denominated sales into U.S. dollars and compared to the same periods in the prior quarter and fiscal year. The Company calculates constant currency revenue results by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year period’s currency conversion rate.

Guidance for certain financial information for the fiscal year ending June 27, 2020 has also been presented on a non-GAAP basis.

Management utilizes these non-GAAP and constant currency measures to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected and to make decisions about Company resources and performance. The Company believes presenting these non-GAAP measures, which exclude items that are not comparable from period to period, is useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. Additionally, the Company believes presenting these metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors and analysts to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these performance measures and provide a framework to assess how business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects.
