Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2020 Highlights

John D. Idol, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "These are unprecedented times as the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the entire world. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been affected by the virus. As we manage through this evolving situation, our first priority is to help protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities. I want to thank our teams around the globe for the hard work and dedication they demonstrate every day, particularly now as we reopen stores and begin to return to our offices across the globe."

Mr. Idol continued, “I would also like to express my heartfelt condolences to the individuals, families and communities affected by the unjust and tragic deaths of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks as well as the countless victims that have come before them. The systemic discrimination that has led us to this point is deplorable and untenable. At Capri, we stand against racism, discrimination and violence of any kind. As an organization and as individuals, we have an opportunity to positively impact the future. Capri Holdings is committed to listening, learning and taking the necessary actions to support long-term positive change for the Black community. While we foster an inclusive environment where employees of diverse backgrounds are welcomed, valued and celebrated, there is more work that we can do to increase diversity at all levels inside our company. We are working on significant initiatives to create change within Capri Holdings."

Mr. Idol concluded, "Looking at fiscal 2020, we were pleased with the progress of our strategic initiatives across the company. Prior to the impact of COVID-19, our earnings per share outlook was largely on track with our expectations. While we expect fiscal 2021 to be significantly impacted by the effects of the virus, we are encouraged as we reopen our stores globally with initial revenue exceeding our expectations. Capri Holdings has a portfolio of three iconic, founder-led fashion luxury houses that inspire passion and excitement in customers who value design innovation and exceptional quality. Looking ahead, we plan to continue to execute on our growth initiatives. We remain confident in the long-term opportunities for each of our unique luxury brands and believe Capri Holdings is poised to resume its growth trajectory in fiscal 2022."

Global Business Update

The company has begun to resume store operations globally in accordance with local government’s reopening guidelines while following the health and safety protocols of local authorities and public health organizations. Currently, approximately 90% of the company’s global retail fleet of stores are open.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the company’s global store base was closed for an average of approximately 55% of the period. Given the significant store closures, the gradual recovery in revenue as stores reopen as well as low wholesale shipments, the company expects first quarter fiscal 2021 revenues to decline approximately 70% compared to prior year. Due to the lower revenue and resulting deleverage, the company anticipates a significant loss per share in the first quarter.

Maintaining Financial Strength

In response to the global pandemic, the company quickly took the following actions to reduce expenses and maintain a strong liquidity position:

In addition, on June 25, 2020, the company amended its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility and entered into a new $230 million 364-day Revolving Credit Facility to further improve its financial flexibility and liquidity position. The amendment waives compliance with the leverage ratio covenant through the first quarter of fiscal 2022, adds security to the facility and applies a minimum liquidity covenant for the duration of the waiver period. Thereafter, the leverage ratio covenant under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility will again apply, but the ratio will increase from 3.75x to 4.00x.

With the additional 364-day Revolving Credit Facility, Capri Holdings expects to end the first quarter of fiscal 2021 with approximately $1.1 billion of liquidity and total borrowings outstanding of $1.8 billion. This compares to $900 million of liquidity and $2.2 billion of total borrowings outstanding at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The company believes it has the financial resources to emerge from these unprecedented times a strong company.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results

Financial Results and non-GAAP Reconciliation

The company’s results are reported in this press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release. Due to the current and ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company will not be providing comparable store sales results. The company believes the most comprehensive measure of performance in this environment is total revenues compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Charges

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the company recorded the following charges that were excluded from its adjusted non-GAAP results. The majority were directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook

Due to the lack of visibility surrounding the pandemic, macroeconomic fundamentals and tourism, the impacts on our financial and operating results cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. Therefore, the company is not providing guidance for its fiscal year 2021.

Conference Call Information

A conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2020 results is scheduled for today, July 1, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company’s website, www.capriholdings.com. In addition, a replay will be available shortly after the conclusion of the call and remain available until July 8, 2020. To access the telephone replay, listeners should dial 1-844-512-2921 or 1-412-317-6671 for international callers. The access code for the replay is 6816825. A replay of the webcast will also be available within two hours of the conclusion of the call and will remain on the website for 90 days.

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 U.S. GAAP. Additionally, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain costs associated with COVID-19 related charges, long-lived asset impairments, ERP implementation costs, Capri transformation costs, restructuring and other charges. 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 these 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.
