Non-GAAP Reconciliation

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company recorded certain items that reduced reported operating income by $210 million or $0.81 per diluted share. On a full year basis, these charges lowered the Company’s reported operating income by $989 million or $3.31 per diluted share. Please refer to the financial tables included herein for a detailed reconciliation of the Company’s reported to non-GAAP results. These items included:

Impairments:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $117 million of pre-tax impairment charges. On a full year basis, the Company recorded $840 million of pre-tax impairment charges. These impairment charges were to indefinite-lived brand intangible assets, goodwill, lease ROU assets, which were established in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, property and equipment assets, as well as increases in inventory reserves. These charges were primarily as a result of a decline in both current and future expected cash flows, exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decline in sales driven by closures of a significant portion of stores and traffic declines globally.

Acceleration Program:

The Company is undergoing a review of its business under its multi-year growth agenda. This multi-faceted, multi-year strategic growth plan (the "Acceleration Program") reflects: (i) actions to streamline the Company's organization; (ii) select store closures as the Company optimizes its fleet (including store closure costs incurred as brands exit certain regions in which they currently operate); and, (iii) professional fees and compensation costs incurred as a result of the development and execution of the Company’s comprehensive strategic initiatives aimed at increasing profitability. Under the Acceleration Program, the Company expects to incur total charges of approximately $185 to $200 million. This includes charges of $87 million recorded in the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020. These charges were primarily due to organization-related changes, driven by severance, and store closure costs, which include lease termination penalties, removal or modification of lease assets and liabilities established in connection with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, as well as inventory reserves and accelerated depreciation under the Plan. Therefore, the Company expects to incur approximately $100 to $115 million in additional charges under its Acceleration Program, of which the majority is estimated to be cash and expected to be recorded in fiscal 2021.

Organization-related & Integration Costs:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $1 million in pre-tax charges associated with its Organization-related & Integration activities. On a full year basis, the Company recorded $33 million in pre-tax charges associated with its Organization-related & Integration activities. Most of these charges are primarily related to professional fees.

ERP Implementation:

In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $5 million in pre-tax charges associated with its ERP implementation activities. On a full year basis, the Company recorded $29 million in pre-tax charges associated with its ERP implementation activities.

Conclusion

Ms. Crevoiserat continued, “We have a clear vision, strong teams and three powerful brands supported by Tapestry’s unique, enabling platform. I am confident that our strategy is the right one for our future. We are committed to strengthening our brands and organization by focusing first and foremost on the consumer, leveraging digital and data more fully, and creating a culture of empowerment and entrepreneurship to enhance responsiveness. As we enter the new fiscal year, we are taking deliberate actions to lower promotional activity and increase AURs across brands, resulting in gross margin expansion, while creating a scalable agile framework, notably through targeted reductions in SG&A. These initiatives are designed to create a strong foundation for profitable expansion over our planning horizon. Therefore, assuming continued steady recovery as we emerge from the pandemic, we would expect a return to sustained topline growth in the second half of fiscal 2021, with bottom line growth in each of fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023.”

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 Impairment, ERP Implementation, Organization-related and Integration Costs and Acceleration Program for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and full fiscal year 2020 and ERP Implementation, Integration & Acquisition-Related Costs and the Impact of Tax Legislation for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 and full 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.

Due to fact that a significant majority of the Company’s stores were closed or operating under shortened operating hours over the course of the second half of the fiscal year, net sales changes for the Company and each segment are based on absolute sales dollar changes and are not presented in accordance with the Company’s comparable sales definition utilized in prior quarters.

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.
