Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. The Company

Organization

Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) design, manufacture, and sell performance luxury apparel for men, women, youth, children, and babies. The Company’s apparel collections include various styles of parkas, lightweight down jackets, rainwear, windwear, knitwear, footwear, and accessories for the fall, winter, and spring seasons. The Company’s head office is located at 250 Bowie Avenue, Toronto, Canada M6E 4Y2. The use of the terms “Canada Goose”, “we”, and “our” throughout these notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") refer to the Company.

Canada Goose is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “GOOS”. The principal shareholders of the Company are investment funds advised by Bain Capital LP and its affiliates (“Bain Capital”), and DTR LLC ("DTR"), an entity indirectly controlled by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal shareholders hold multiple voting shares representing 47.7% of the total shares outstanding as at January 2, 2022, or 90.1% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding. Subordinate voting shares that trade on public markets represent 52.3% of the total shares outstanding as at January 2, 2022, or 9.9% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding.

Statement of compliance

The Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information, which is considered material to the understanding of the Interim Financial Statements and is normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB, is not provided in these notes. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Financial Statements.

The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors on February 9, 2022.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, and we have historically realized a significant portion of our Wholesale revenue and operating income in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year and Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") revenue and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Thus, lower-than-expected revenue in these periods could have an adverse impact on our annual operating results.

Cash flows from operating activities are typically highest in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC segment and the collection of trade receivables from Wholesale revenue earlier in the year. Working capital requirements typically increase as inventory builds.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments

Basis of presentation

The significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments as disclosed in the Company’s March 28, 2021 annual consolidated financial statements have been applied

consistently in the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements except as noted below. The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

The Company's fiscal year is a 52 or 53-week reporting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to March 31. Each fiscal quarter is 13 weeks for a 52-week fiscal year. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the third quarter. Fiscal 2022 is the first 53-week fiscal year, ending on April 3, 2022.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

COVID-19 pandemic

Globally, public health officials have imposed restrictions and recommended precautions to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"), resulting in temporary closures of our retail locations as well as reduced traffic and store productivity, similarly impacting our wholesale partners. Store operations have largely resumed during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 across our global store network, however retail store traffic remains below pre-pandemic levels as at January 2, 2022. Trading days lost to temporary store closures due to COVID-19 did not materially impact results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. In the comparative quarter, retail stores were significantly impacted by store closures, with 21% of our retail locations globally subject to store closures of over four weeks in response to government orders. All our manufacturing facilities were operating throughout the third quarter and as at January 2, 2022 at lower than pre-pandemic output levels to ensure appropriate distancing measures were in place.

In March 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16, Leases to extend the period over which the practical expedient is available for use. This amendment exempts lessees from determining whether COVID-19 related rent concessions for lease payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022 are lease modifications. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021 and earlier application is permitted. In accordance with the guidance issued, the Company adopted the amendment effective March 29, 2021 and elected not to treat COVID-19 related rent concessions as lease modifications. Rent concessions of $nil and $0.2m were recognized in the statement of income for the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $0.9m and $3.3m, respectively).

As a result of the temporary store closures, net costs of $nil and $0.2m were recognized in selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest during the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $1.0m and $8.1m, respectively).

Management assessed whether indicators of impairment existed as at January 2, 2022 in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, and no indicators were identified.

Principles of consolidation

The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Operating segments

The Company classifies its business in three operating and reportable segments: DTC, Wholesale, and Other. The DTC segment comprises sales through country-specific e-Commerce platforms and its Company-operated retail stores located in luxury shopping locations.

The Wholesale segment comprises sales made to a mix of retailers and international distributors, who are partners that have exclusive rights to an entire market.

The Other segment comprises sales and costs not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale channels, such as sales to employees and SG&A expenses. The Other segment includes the cost of marketing expenditures to build brand awareness across all segments, corporate costs in support of manufacturing operations, other corporate costs, and foreign exchange gains and losses not specifically associated with DTC or Wholesale segment operations.

Within the Other segment, comparative information also includes sales of personal protective equipment ("PPE") in response to COVID-19 along with costs incurred as a consequence of COVID-19 including overhead costs resulting from the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities.

Standards issued and not yet adopted

Certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments, and interpretations is provided below.

In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position. The limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendment clarified that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amendment.

Standards issued and adopted

In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) finalized an agenda decision which clarified the accounting of configuration and customization costs in cloud computing arrangements often referred to as Software as a Service ("SaaS") arrangements. As a result of the decision, costs that do not meet the capitalization criteria for intangible assets are required to be expensed as incurred. The Company is in the process of quantifying the impact of the decision and will finalize its assessment during the year ending April 3, 2022.

Leases)”, which addresses issues that affect financial reporting once an existing benchmark rate is replaced with an alternative rate and provides specific disclosure requirements. The amendments introduce a practical expedient for modifications required by the Interbank Offer Rate (“IBOR”) reform. The amendments relate to the modification of financial instruments where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of the IBOR reform, allowing for prospective application of the alternative rate. A similar practical expedient exists for lessee accounting under IFRS 16. It also relates to the application of hedge accounting, which is not discontinued solely because of the IBOR reform. Hedging relationships, including formal designation and documentation, must be amended to reflect modifications to the hedged item, however, the practical expedient allows the hedge relationship to continue, although additional ineffectiveness may be required. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. A broader market-wide initiative is underway to transition the various IBOR based on rates in use to alternative reference rates. The Company’s borrowing facilities, interest rate swaps, lease liabilities, and the trade accounts receivable factoring program will be impacted by the IBOR reform. As such, the reformed IFRS guidance has been adopted, however, accounting under the adopted standard will take place once IBOR related arrangements are modified, which constitutes as an accounting event. As no accounting events have occurred to date, the Company has determined there is no financial reporting impact as of January 2, 2022. The Company is in discussions with its lenders and is currently determining if any modifications will meet the requirements for the application of the practical expedient.

Note 3. Segment information

The Company has three reportable operating segments: DTC, Wholesale, and Other. The Company measures each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and segment operating income, which is the profit metric utilized by the Company's chief operating decision maker, the President and Chief Executive Officer, for assessing the performance of operating segments. Our operating segments are not reliant on any single external customer.

The Company does not report total assets or total liabilities based on its reportable operating segments.

Note 10. Borrowings

Revolving facility

The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured asset-based credit facility consisting of a revolving credit facility in the amount of $467.5m, with an increase in commitments to $517.5m during the peak season (June 1 - November 30). The revolving facility matures on June 3, 2024. Amounts owing under the revolving facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed for general corporate purposes. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the revolving facility. The revolving facility contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds.

The revolving facility has multiple interest rate charge options that are based on the Canadian prime rate, Banker's Acceptance rate, the lenders' Alternate Base Rate, European Base Rate, LIBOR Rate, or EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, with interest payable the earlier of quarterly or at the end of the then current interest period (whichever is earlier).

As at January 2, 2022, the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the revolving facility (December 27, 2020 - $nil and March 28, 2021 - $nil) and related deferred financing charges in the amounts of $1.0m (December 27, 2020 - $1.9m and March 28, 2021 - $1.7m) were included in other long-term liabilities. As at and during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company had unused borrowing capacity available under the revolving facility of $158.4m as at January 2, 2022 (December 27, 2020 - $256.2m, March 28, 2021 - $181.2m).

The Company had a first-in, last-out facility included in the revolving facility in the amount of $50.0m which matured on May 25, 2021. No amounts were outstanding at the time of maturity and the first-in, last-out facility has not been renewed. As the facility was not renewed, at the time of maturity the deferred financing costs of $0.4m were written off to the statement of income.

The revolving credit commitment also includes a letter of credit commitment in the amount of $25.0m, with a $5.0m sub-commitment for letters of credit issued in a currency other than Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, euros or British pounds sterling, and a swingline commitment for $25.0m. As at January 2, 2022, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under the revolving facility of $4.8m (December 27, 2020 - $5.3m, March 28, 2021 - $5.0m).

Term loan

The Company has a senior secured loan agreement with a syndicate of lenders that is secured on a split collateral basis alongside the revolving facility. As a result of the Refinancing Amendment which took place on October 7, 2020, the aggregate principal amount owing increased to US$300.0m from US$113.8m.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(unaudited)

On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with its lenders to reprice its term loan, referred to as the Repricing Amendment and Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement ("Repricing Amendment"). The Repricing Amendment decreases the interest to a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50% from LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.25%, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company elected to account for the Repricing Amendment as a debt extinguishment and re-borrowing of the loan amount. As a result, the acceleration of unamortized costs of $9.5m was included in net interest, finance and other costs in the statement of income. In connection with the Repricing Amendment, the Company incurred transaction costs of $0.9m which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the new term to maturity.

As a result of the Repricing Amendment, there were no changes to the following terms from the existing term loan: a) the aggregate principal amount of US$300.0m; b) the maturity date of October 7, 2027; c) LIBOR may not be less than 0.75%, and d) US$0.75m on the principal amount is repayable quarterly. The Repricing Amendment had no impact on the existing derivative contracts entered into on October 30, 2020.

Voluntary prepayments of amounts owing under the term loan may be made at any time without premium or penalty but once repaid may not be reborrowed. The Company began quarterly repayments of US$0.75m on the principal amount during the first quarter ended June 27, 2021. As at January 2, 2022, the Company had US$297.0m (March 28, 2021 - US$300.0m) aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loan. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the term loan. The term loan contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds. As at and during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As the term loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company remeasures the outstanding balance plus accrued interest at each balance sheet date.

The amount outstanding with respect to the term loan is as follows:


(in millions of Canadian dollars)	January 2, 2022	December 27, 2020	March 28, 2021
	$	$	$
Term loan	375.5	385.9	377.3

	374.6	376.1	367.8

Mainland China Facilities

A subsidiary of the Company in Mainland China has two uncommitted loan facilities in the aggregate amount of RMB 310.0m ("Mainland China Facilities"). The term of each draw on the loans is one, three or six months or such other period as agreed upon and shall not exceed twelve months (including any extension or rollover). The interest rate on each facility is equal to loan prime rate of 1 year, plus 0.15% per annum, and payable at one, three or six months, depending on the term of each draw. Proceeds drawn on the Mainland China Facilities are being used to support working capital requirements and build up of inventory for peak season sales. As at January 2, 2022, the Company had no amounts owing on the Mainland China Facilities (December 27, 2020 - $7.0m, March 28, 2021 - $nil).

Short-term Borrowings

As at January 2, 2022, the Company has short-term borrowings in the amount of $3.8m. Short-term borrowings include $nil (December 27, 2020 - $7.0m, March 28, 2021 - $nil) owing on the Mainland China Facilities and $3.8m (December 27, 2020 - $nil, March 28, 2021 - $nil) for the quarterly principal repayments on the term loan. Short-term borrowings are all due within the next 12 months.

Normal course issuer bid

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to initiate a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, to purchase up to 5,943,239 subordinate voting shares over the 12-month period from August 20, 2021 to August 19, 2022. Purchased subordinate voting shares will be cancelled.

Further, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to initiate an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") under which a designated broker may purchase subordinate voting shares under the NCIB during the regularly scheduled quarterly trading blackout period. The repurchases made under the ASPP will be made in accordance with certain purchasing parameters and will continue until the earlier of the date in which the Company has acquired the maximum limit of subordinate voting shares pursuant to the ASPP or upon the date of expiry of the NCIB.

During the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company purchased 3,865,136 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $187.3m. The amount to purchase the subordinate voting shares has been charged to share capital, with the remaining $179.3m charged to retained earnings.

Restricted share units

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Company has granted RSUs to employees of the Company. The RSUs are treated as equity instruments for accounting purposes. We expect that vested RSUs will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per RSU. The RSUs vest over a period of three years, a third on each anniversary of the date of grant.

RSUs transactions are as follows:


	Three quarters ended
	January 2, 2022	December 27, 2020
	Number	Number
RSUs outstanding, beginning of period	137,117	37,578
Granted	152,320	119,758
Settled	(49,968)	(13,386)
Cancelled	(17,373)	(6,284)

RSUs outstanding, end of period	222,096	137,666

Subordinate voting shares, to a maximum of 2,957,632 shares, have been reserved for issuance under equity incentive plans to select employees of the Company, with vesting contingent upon meeting the service, performance goals and other conditions of the Omnibus Plan.

Accounting for share-based awards

For the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company recorded $3.8m and $10.7m, respectively, as contributed surplus and compensation expense for the vesting of stock options and RSUs (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $3.0m and $7.7m, respectively). Share-based compensation expense is included in SG&A expenses.

The assumptions used to measure the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant date were as follows:


	Three quarters ended
(in millions of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)	January 2, 2022			December 27, 2020
Weighted average stock price valuation	$	48.92		$	37.19
Weighted average exercise price	$	48.92		$	37.19
Risk-free interest rate	0.44		%	0.32		%
Expected life in years	5			5
Expected dividend yield	—		%	—		%
Volatility	40		%	40		%
Weighted average fair value of options issued	$	14.36		$	9.90

Fair value for RSUs is determined based on the market value of the subordinate voting shares at the time of grant. As at January 2, 2022, the weighted average fair value of the RSUs issued was $48.92 (December 27, 2020 - $33.97).

Note 15. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s primary risk management objective is to protect the Company’s assets and cash flow, in order to increase the Company’s enterprise value.

The Company is exposed to capital management risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, and interest rate risk. The Company’s senior management and Board of

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Directors oversee the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees upon policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital and capital structure with the objectives of safeguarding sufficient net working capital over the annual operating cycle and providing sufficient financial resources to grow operations to meet long-term consumer demand. The Board of Directors of the Company monitors the Company’s capital management on a regular basis. The Company will continually assess the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and capacity and make adjustments within the context of the Company’s strategy, economic conditions, and risk characteristics of the business.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to satisfy the requirements for business operations, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes, under normal and stressed conditions. The primary source of liquidity is funds generated by operating activities; the Company also relies on the revolving facility and the Mainland China Facilities as sources of funds for short term working capital needs. The Company continuously reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows to ensure that the Company has appropriate capital capacity.

The following table summarizes the amount of contractual undiscounted future cash flow requirements as at January 2, 2022:


Contractual obligations by fiscal year	Q4 2022	2023	2024	2025	2026	2027	Thereafter	Total
(in millions of Canadian dollars)	$	$	$	$	$	$	$	$

Interest commitments relating to borrowings(1)	4.0	16.0	16.0	16.0	16.0	16.0	8.0	92.0
Foreign exchange forward contracts	—	6.2	—	—	12.7	—	—	18.9

Total contractual obligations	268.1	92.5	72.4	66.7	68.2	49.0	416.3	1,033.2

(1) Interest commitments are calculated based on the loan balance and the interest rate payable on the term loan of 4.25% as at January 2, 2022.

As at January 2, 2022, we had additional liabilities which included provisions for warranty, sales returns, asset retirement obligations, and deferred income tax liabilities. These liabilities have not been included in the table above as the timing and amount of future payments are uncertain.

Letter of guarantee facility

On April 14, 2020, Canada Goose Inc. entered into a letter of guarantee facility in the amount of $10.0m. Letters of guarantee are available for terms of up to twelve months and will be charged a fee equal to 1.2% per annum calculated against the face amount and over the term of the guarantee. Amounts issued on the facility will be used to finance working capital requirements through letters of guarantee, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, counter guarantees, counter standby letters of credit, or similar credits. The Company immediately reimburses the

(unaudited)

issuing bank for amounts drawn on issued letters of guarantees. At January 2, 2022, the Company had $5.6m outstanding.

In addition, during the third quarter ended January 2, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company in Mainland China entered into letters of guarantee in the amount of $9.4m. Amounts will be used to support retail operations through letters of guarantee, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, counter guarantees, counter standby letters of credit, or similar credits.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that certain parties will be unable to discharge their obligations. The Company manages its credit risk through a combination of third party credit insurance and internal house risk. Credit insurance is provided by a third party for customers and is subject to continuous monitoring of the credit worthiness of the Company's customers. Insurance covers a specific amount of revenue, which may be less than the Company's total revenue with a specific customer. The Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 90% of accounts receivable from certain designated customers subject to a total deductible of $0.1m, to a maximum of $30.0m per year. As at January 2, 2022, accounts receivable totaling approximately $36.4m (December 27, 2020 - $26.3m, March 28, 2021 - $5.7m) were insured subject to the policy cap. Complementary to third party insurance, the Company establishes payment terms with customers to mitigate credit risk and continues to closely monitor its accounts receivable credit risk exposure.

Trade accounts receivable factoring program

A subsidiary of the Company in Europe has an agreement to factor, on a limited recourse basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable up to a limit of €20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice.

For the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company received cash proceeds from the sale of trade accounts receivable with carrying values of $24.9m which were derecognized from the Company's statement of financial position (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $15.8m). Fees of less than $0.1m were incurred during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - less than $0.1m) and included in net interest, finance and other costs in the statement of income. As at January 2, 2022, the outstanding amount of trade accounts receivable derecognized from the Company’s statement of financial position, but which the Company continued to service, was $10.3m (December 27, 2020 - $6.0m, March 28, 2021 - $nil).

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows

The Company’s Interim Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues, purchases, and expenses are denominated in other currencies, principally U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds sterling, Swiss francs, Chinese yuan, and Hong Kong dollars. The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with revenues, purchases, and expenses denominated in these currencies. Certain forward foreign exchange contracts were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges. On December 18, 2020, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 3, 2022. During the second quarter ended September 26, 2021, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 2, 2023.

Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income by increasing our revenue, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

The Company recognized the following unrealized losses and gains in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income:


	Third quarter ended				Three quarters ended

Foreign exchange risk on borrowings

The Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk related to principal and interest payments on the term loan denominated in U.S. dollars (note 10). The Company also entered into a five-year forward exchange contract by selling $368.5m and receiving US$270.0m as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on a portion of the term loan borrowings.

The Company recognized the following unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in other comprehensive income:


	Third quarter ended				Three quarters ended
	January 2, 2022		December 27, 2020		January 2, 2022		December 27, 2020

Swaps designated as cash flow hedges	0.2	1.0	0.7	5.3

For the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, unrealized gains of $0.3m and $0.4m, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - unrealized losses of $14.7m and $16.4m, respectively) in the fair value of the long-dated forward exchange contract related to a portion of the term loan balance were recognized in SG&A expenses in the statement of income.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under the revolving facility, the term loan and the Mainland China Facilities. Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings on our Mainland China Facilities during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings would have increased interest expense by $0.1m (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - less than $0.1m). Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate would have increased interest expense on the revolving facility and term loan by less than $0.1m and $2.8m, respectively (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $1.1m and $1.7m, respectively).


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 28 of 29

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(unaudited)

The Company entered into five-year interest rate swaps by fixing the LIBOR component of its interest rate at 0.95% on notional debt of US$270.0m. The swaps terminate on December 31, 2025. Subsequent to the Repricing Amendment, the applicable interest rate on the interest rate swaps is 4.45%. The interest rate swaps were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Interest rate risk on the term loan is partially mitigated by interest rate swap hedges. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of borrowings at that time.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in many places throughout this MD&A and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, business prospects, growth, strategies, expectations regarding industry trends and the size and growth rates of addressable markets, our business plan, and our growth strategies, including plans for expansion to new markets and new products, expectations for seasonal trends, and the industry in which we operate.

Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include:

•our ability to continue operating our business amid the societal and economic disruption caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”);

•our ability to implement our growth strategies;

•our ability to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, suppliers, wholesalers, and distributors;

•our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property; and

•the absence of material adverse changes in our industry or the global economy.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 1 of 49

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report and other risk factors described herein, which include, but are not limited to, the following risks:

•risks and global disruptions associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which may further affect general economic conditions, including discretionary consumer spending;

•additional potential closures or traffic disruptions impacting our retail stores and the retail stores of our wholesale partners as a result of COVID-19;

•we may not open new retail stores or expand e-Commerce access on our planned timelines;

•we may be unable to maintain the strength of our brand or to expand our brand to new products and geographies;

•unanticipated changes in the effective tax rate or adverse outcomes from audit examinations of corporate income or other tax returns;

•our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial condition;

•global political events, including the impact of political disruptions and protests; which may cause business interruptions;

•our ability to procure high quality raw materials and certain finished goods globally;

•our ability to forecast our inventory need and to manage our product distribution networks;

•the success of our business strategy;

•our ability to manage our exposure to data security and cyber security events;

•fluctuations in raw material costs, interest rates and currency exchange rates; and

•we may be unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

Although we base the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, we caution you that actual results and developments (including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate) may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. Additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. The potential of such additional impacts intensifies the business and operating risks which we face, and these should be considered when reading the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. In addition, even if results and developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A, those results and developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this MD&A may prove to be inaccurate. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks often emerge. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 2 of 49

You should read this MD&A and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this MD&A, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by applicable laws.

Segments

Our reporting segments align with our sales channels: Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”), Wholesale, and Other. We measure each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and operating income. As at January 2, 2022, our DTC segment included sales to customers through our 56 national e-Commerce markets and 41 directly operated permanent retail stores across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Through our Wholesale segment, we sell to a mix of retailers and international distributors. The Other segment comprises sales and costs not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale channels, such as sales to employees and selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe that our performance depends on many factors including those discussed below.

•Growth in our DTC Channel. We plan to continue executing our global strategy through retail and e-Commerce expansion, though the scale of such expansion may be delayed.

•Growth investments. In the early stages of COVID-19 at the height of first wave retail closures, discretionary SG&A expenses spend was reduced significantly. As distribution and sales continue to recover, we have made significant SG&A investments ahead of revenue growth in certain areas, including brand and demand building. We will be guided by our view of opportunities to deliver on our growth strategy.

•COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and public health officials have imposed restrictions and recommended precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus. Notably, the sudden emergence of the Omicron variant in November 2021 resulted in significant travel and other restrictions being reimposed in several jurisdictions. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations.

As a result of the pandemic, our retail stores have been impacted by temporary closures and reduced traffic. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, store operations have largely resumed across our global store network, however retail store traffic remains below pre-pandemic levels. Trading days lost to temporary store closures due to COVID-19 did not materially impact results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. In the comparative quarter, retail stores were significantly impacted by store closures, with 21% of our retail locations globally subject to store closures of over four weeks in response to government orders.

Global supply chain disruptions continue from the ongoing challenges related to COVID-19, however these disruptions have not materially impacted our ability to fulfill demand and maintain sufficient inventory levels. All of our manufacturing facilities were operating throughout the third quarter and as at January 2, 2022 at lower than pre-pandemic output levels to ensure appropriate distancing measures were in place. We expect to return to more normal levels of production as restrictions and recommended precautions are lifted.

We received rent concessions in the form of abatements and deferrals and we recognized rent concessions of $nil and $0.2m in the statement of income for the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively.

Future developments on COVID-19 are highly uncertain and out of our control. Restrictions and recommended precautions related to the Omicron variant have been weighing and may continue to weigh on ongoing demand improvement. Prolonged disruptions due to the


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 5 of 49

pandemic, including the emergence of the new COVID-19 variants and mutants, may negatively impact our operations and result in temporary closures of our retail stores and manufacturing facilities, as well as our wholesale partners, lower retail store traffic, and continued impacts on our supply chain.

•Global political events and other disruptions. We are conscious of risks related to social, economic, and political instability, including geopolitical tensions, regulatory matters, market volatility, and social unrest that are affecting consumer spending in certain countries and travel corridors. We have been, and may in the future be, impacted by widespread protests and other disruptions. To the extent that such disruptions persist, we expect that operations and traffic at our retail stores may be impacted.

•New Products. We intend to continue investing in innovation and the development and introduction of new products across styles, uses, and climates. This includes Canada Goose footwear and Baffin branded footwear through Baffin’s own distinct sales channels. We expect that certain new products may carry a lower gross margin per unit relative to our long-standing styles which are produced in significantly higher volumes.

•Seasonality. We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results and have historically realized a significant portion of our annual wholesale revenue during our second and third fiscal quarters, and our annual DTC revenue in our third and fourth fiscal quarters. We generated 86.9% and 85.7% of our annual wholesale revenue in the combined second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Additionally, we generated 89.3% and 79.2% of our annual DTC revenue in the combined third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Because of seasonal fluctuations in revenue and fixed costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, we typically experience negative and substantially reduced net income and adjusted EBIT(1) in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. As a result of our seasonality, changes that impact gross margin and adjusted EBIT(1) among others can have a disproportionate impact on the quarterly results when they are recorded in our off-peak revenue periods.

(1) Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for a description of these measures.

Guided by expected demand and wholesale orders, we typically manufacture on a linear basis throughout the fiscal year. Net working capital requirements typically increase as inventory builds. We finance these needs through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on the Revolving Facility (as defined below) and the Mainland China Facilities (as defined below). Historically, cash flows from operations have been highest in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC channel and the collection of receivables from wholesale revenue earlier in the year.

•Developments in international trade. We continue to monitor the impact on our operations in Europe as a result of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”). We continue to build flexibility within our supply chain and leverage partners and technical resources to utilize duty savings under various Free Trade Agreements. Duty savings continue for U.S. shipments under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. We monitor developments in international trade in countries where we operate that could have an impact on our business.

•Foreign Exchange. We sell a significant portion of our products to customers outside of Canada, which exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019, we generated 67.9%, 62.3%, and 58.0%, respectively, of our revenue in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Historically, most of our wholesale revenue was derived from orders made prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. This high degree of visibility into our anticipated future cash flows from wholesale operations is now significantly less certain given the COVID-19 disruptions. Most of our raw materials are sourced outside of Canada, primarily in U.S. dollars, and SG&A expenses are typically denominated in the currency of the country in which they are incurred. As part of our risk management program, we have entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts to manage certain of our exposures to exchange rate fluctuations for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies. We continue to monitor our risk management program to take into account the prevailing global uncertainty of COVID-19.

We are exposed to translation and transaction risks associated with foreign currency exchange fluctuations on the Chinese renminbi denominated principal and interest amounts payable on the Mainland China Facilities and U.S. dollar denominated principal and interest amounts payable on our Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the exposure to foreign currency exchange risk on the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Foreign Exchange Risk” below.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

The DTC segment comprises sales through country-specific e-Commerce platforms and its Company-operated retail stores located in luxury shopping locations. Revenue through e-Commerce operations and retail stores is recognized upon delivery of the goods to the customer and when consideration is received, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.

The Wholesale segment comprises sales made to a mix of functional and fashionable retailers, including major luxury department stores, outdoor specialty stores, and individual shops, and to international distributors, who are partners that have exclusive rights to an entire market. Wholesale revenue from the sale of goods, net of an estimated provision for sales returns, discounts, and allowances, is recognized when control of the goods has been transferred to the reseller, which, depending on the terms of the agreement with the reseller, occurs when the


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 8 of 49

products have been shipped to the reseller, are picked up from our third party warehouse, or arrive at the reseller’s facilities.

The Other segment comprises sales and costs not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale channels, such as sales to employees and SG&A expenses. The Other segment includes the cost of marketing expenditures to build brand awareness and demand across all segments, corporate costs in support of manufacturing operations, other corporate costs, and foreign exchange gains and losses not specifically associated with DTC or Wholesale segment operations.

Within the Other segment, comparative information also includes sales of personal protective equipment ("PPE") during the comparative periods in response to COVID-19 along with costs incurred as a consequence of COVID-19 including overhead costs resulting from the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is our revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales comprises the cost of manufacturing our products, including raw materials, direct labour, and overhead, plus freight, duties, and non-refundable taxes incurred in delivering the goods to distribution centres managed by third parties or to our retail stores. Cost of sales also includes depreciation on our manufacturing right-of-use assets and plant assets as well as inventory provisions, and allowances related to obsolescence and shrinkage. The primary drivers of our cost of sales are the costs of raw materials (which are sourced in both Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars), manufacturing labour rates in the provinces of Canada, and the allocation of overhead. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses consist of selling costs to support our customer relationships and to deliver our products to our e-Commerce customers, retail stores, and wholesale partners. It also includes our marketing and brand investment activities and the corporate infrastructure required to support our ongoing operations. Incurred product development costs, primarily employee salaries and benefits, are also recognized in SG&A expenses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in SG&A expenses and comprise the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries, including cash balances, a portion of our Revolving Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Mainland China Facilities, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, gains or losses associated with our term loan hedges, and realized gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Selling costs, other than headcount-related costs, generally correlate to revenue timing and would typically experience similar seasonal trends. As a percentage of sales, we expect these selling costs to change as our business evolves. This change has been and is expected to be primarily driven by the expansion of our DTC segment, including the investment required to support e-Commerce sites and retail stores. Retail store costs are mostly fixed and are incurred throughout the year.

General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred in our corporate offices, primarily related to marketing, personnel costs (including salaries, variable incentive compensation, benefits, and share-based compensation), technology support, and other professional service


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 9 of 49

costs. We have invested considerably in this area to support the growing volume and complexity of our business and anticipate continuing to do so in the future.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization represent the economic benefit incurred in using the Company’s property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase, primarily driven by the expansion of our DTC segment and information technology-related expenditures to support growth.

Operating Income

Operating income is our gross profit less SG&A expenses and depreciation and amortization.

Net interest, finance and other costs

Net interest, finance and other costs represents interest expense on our borrowings including the Revolving Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Mainland China Facilities, and lease liabilities, as well as standby fees, net of interest income. In addition, corporate restructuring costs were recognized in fiscal 2021.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events.

Revenue increased in the United States, Asia Pacific, and EMEA during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to the comparative period resulting from an increase in both DTC and Wholesale revenue. Revenue in Canada grew by 35.6% excluding the $46.5m of PPE sales made in the comparative period. Including PPE, revenue in Canada increased by 0.3%. The increase in revenue in all regions was attributable to higher revenues from existing retail stores, e-Commerce growth and retail store expansion.

Gross Profit

Gross profit and gross margin for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 were $579.5m and 66.2%, respectively, compared to $415.4m and 59.8%, respectively, for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase in gross profit of $164.1m was attributable to higher revenue as noted above. Gross profit in the comparative period included the impact of $46.5m of non-recurring PPE sales, $13.9m of COVID-19 related government payroll subsidies, $4.3m of manufacturing overhead costs during a period when production ceased due to COVID-19. Excluding the impact of these items, gross margin was 62.8% in the comparative period. Gross margin in the current period was favourably impacted by an increased proportion of DTC revenue from the comparative quarter, a lower proportion of sales to international distributors, and incremental benefits from pricing, which were partially offset by unfavourable impacts from product mix due to higher sales in non-parka categories, typically with lower margins.

SG&A expenses in our Other segment, which include unallocated corporate expenses, were $207.7m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to $144.5m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase of $63.2m or 43.7% was attributable to $31.0m of incremental investment in marketing and $11.5m in strategic initiatives as discussed above, $13.1m of incremental personnel costs due to headcount growth, and $5.6m of higher performance-based compensation. The increase was partially offset by $10.4m of favourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to working capital denominated in currencies other than


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 15 of 49

Canadian dollars and the Term Loan Facility, net of hedge impacts. The comparable period also benefited from the $3.0m release of a non-cash sales contract provision as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in the respective jurisdiction and $9.0m of government payroll subsidies which did not recur.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $66.0m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to $50.6m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020, an increase of $15.4m or 30.4%. Of this increase, $12.2m was driven by continued retail expansion.

Pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $3.1m and $0.2m, respectively, were recognized in the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $4.8m and $6.8m, respectively, in the comparative period.

Wholesale

Wholesale segment operating income and operating margin were $107.3m and 34.6% for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to $106.7m and 37.0% for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase in operating income of $0.6m was attributable to a higher segment revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as discussed above. The decrease in operating margin of 240 bps was driven by the lower gross margin and higher SG&A expenses. The gross margin in the prior year benefited from an allocation of COVID-19 related government payroll subsidies.

Other

Other segment operating loss was $(218.4)m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to $(157.2)m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase in operating loss of $61.2m was attributable to $63.2m of higher SG&A expenses as discussed above, partially offset by $4.3m of overhead costs resulting from the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities due to COVID-19 in the comparative period.

Net Interest, Finance and Other Costs

Net interest, finance and other costs were $32.0m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to $22.7m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase of $9.3m or 41.0% was driven by the acceleration of unamortized costs of $9.5m in connection with the Repricing Amendment (as defined below) on the Term Loan Facility and higher interest charges of $4.0m on the Term Loan Facility due to higher gross borrowings from the comparative period. The increase in net interest, finance and other costs was partially offset by lower interest charges of $2.1m on the Revolving Facility due to lower gross borrowings, corporate restructuring costs of $1.4m incurred in the comparative period, $1.1m attributable to the acceleration of unamortized costs in connection with the Refinancing Amendment that took place in the comparative period.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $20.3m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $19.1m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. For the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the effective and statutory tax rates were 16.3% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 22.1% and 25.4% for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. Given our global operations, the effective tax rate is largely impacted by our profit or loss in taxable jurisdictions relative to the applicable tax rates.

Net Income

Net income for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 was $104.2m compared to $67.3m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020, driven by the factors described above.

Revenue in our wholesale segment is highest in our second and third quarters as we fulfill wholesale customer orders in time for the Fall and Winter retail seasons, and, in our DTC segment, in the third and fourth quarters. Our net income is typically negative in the first quarter and negative or reduced in the fourth quarter as we invest ahead of our peak season.

Revenue

Over the last eight quarters, revenue has been impacted by the following:

•COVID-19 beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020;

•timing of store openings;

•launch and expansion of international e-Commerce sites;

•timing and extent of SG&A, including demand generation activities;

•increased manufacturing flexibility with higher in-house production, which has an impact on the timing of wholesale order shipments and customer demand;

•timing of end-consumer purchasing in the DTC segment and the availability of new products;

•successful execution of global pricing strategy;

•shift in mix of revenue from wholesale to DTC, which has impacted the seasonality of our financial performance;

•shift in geographic mix of sales to increase sales outside of Canada;


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 25 of 49

•fluctuation of foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar;

•protests in many North American cities beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021; and

•PPE production beginning in the first quarter through to the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Net Income (Loss)

Over the last eight quarters, net income (loss) has been affected by the following factors:

•impact of the items affecting revenue, as discussed above;

•costs incurred and relief received from government programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020;

•increase and timing of our investment in brand, marketing, and administrative support as well as increased investment in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets to support growth initiatives;

•increase in fixed SG&A costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, resulting in negative and reduced net income in our seasonally low-revenue first and fourth quarters, respectively;

•impact of foreign exchange;

•fluctuations in average cost of borrowings to address growing net working capital requirements and higher seasonal borrowings in the first and second quarters of each fiscal year to address the seasonal nature of revenue;

•pre-store opening costs incurred, timing of leases signed, and opening of stores;

•the nature and timing of transaction costs in connection with the Baffin acquisition, and amendments to long-term debt agreements; and

•the proportion of taxable income in non-Canadian jurisdictions and changes to rates and tax legislation in those jurisdictions.

These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of certain non-cash items and certain other adjustments related to events that are non-recurring or unusual in nature, including COVID-19, that we believe are not reflective of our ongoing operations and that make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to evaluate our core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes, as well as to analyze how our business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the apparel industry.

For the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 and for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020, we believe that identifying certain costs directly resulting from the impact of COVID-19 and excluding these amounts from our calculation of the non-IFRS measures described above helps management and investors assess the impact of COVID-19 on our business as well as our general economic performance during the period. During the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, these primarily comprised of temporary store closure costs including depreciation and interest expenses. These were partially offset by rent concessions recognized during the period.

Constant currency revenue

Constant currency revenue is calculated by translating the prior year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency calculated based on the current period exchange rates. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess how our business and geographic segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. See the Revenue section of the “Results of Operations” for a reconciliation of reported revenue and revenue on a constant currency basis.

Net debt and net debt leverage

We define net debt as total indebtedness, net of cash, and net debt leverage as the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, measured on a spot basis. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, these non-IFRS financial measures to determine the Company’s financial leverage and ability to meet its debt obligations. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness” below for a table providing the calculation of net debt and discussion of net debt leverage.

Net working capital and net working capital turnover

We define net working capital as current assets, net of cash, minus current liabilities, excluding the short-term borrowings and current portion of lease liabilities. Net working capital turnover is the ratio of average net working capital to revenue, by averaging net working capital for each quarter. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess the Company’s liquidity and management of net working capital resources. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a table providing the calculation of net working capital.

Free operating cash flow

We define free operating cash flow as net cash flows from (used in) operating activities plus net cash flows from (used in) investing activities, minus principal payments on lease liabilities. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess the Company’s financial leverage and cash available for repayment of borrowings and other financing activities and as an indicator of operational financial performance. See “Cash Flows” below for a table providing the free operating cash flow balance for the quarter.

The $23.8m decrease, or 11.1%, was attributable to an increase of $36.8m in accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven by higher accrued expenses including raw materials in transit. Net working capital turnover(1) was 24.4% in the quarter ended January 2, 2022.

As at January 2, 2022, we had $190.1m of net working capital compared to $202.1m of net working capital as at March 28, 2021.

(1)See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.

Cash Requirements

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund net working capital, capital expenditures, debt services, and general corporate requirements of our business. Our primary source of liquidity to meet our cash requirements is cash generated from operating activities over our annual operating cycle. We also utilize the Mainland China Facilities, the Revolving Facility, and the Trade accounts receivable factoring program to provide short-term liquidity and to have funds available for net working capital. Our ability to fund our operations, invest in planned capital expenditures, meet debt obligations, and repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject, but not limited to, prevailing economic, financial, and business conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Cash generated from operating activities is significantly impacted by the seasonality of our business. Historically, cash flows from operating activities have been highest in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC channel and the collection of receivables from wholesale revenue earlier in the year.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities were $180.4m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows from operating activities of $249.3m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $68.9m was driven by $102.3m of increased inventory production as our manufacturing facilities exclusively produced PPE in the comparative period partially offset by $16.6m of higher settlements of trade receivables.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 33 of 49

Cash flows from operating activities were $361.6m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows from operating activities of $332.6m for the third quarter ended December 27, 2020. The increase in cash flows from operating activities of $29.0m was driven by higher net income and $14.3m of accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven by higher accrued expenses partially offset by $31.3m of increased inventory production.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were $31.1m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $21.4m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities of $9.7m was due to the investment program behind our strategic initiatives, including higher costs incurred for retail store construction.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $12.1m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $12.6m for the third quarter ended December 27, 2020. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities of $0.5m was due to the investment program behind our strategic initiatives as described above.

Cash flows used in from financing activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were $217.7m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows from financing activities of $214.3m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $432.0m was driven by $251.3m of higher borrowings on the Term Loan Facility in the comparative period and the payments for the purchase of subordinate voting shares related to the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) as described below.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $45.0m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $3.3m for the third quarter ended December 27, 2020. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $41.7m was driven by higher borrowings on the Term Loan Facility for $247.5m in the comparative period and on the Mainland China Facilities for $30.5m partially offset by repayments on the Revolving Facility of $234.9m in the comparative quarter.

(1)See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.

Free operating cash flows from the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 decreased to $116.5m from $200.1m for the three quarters ended December 27, 2020 due to lower cash from operating activities and higher cash flows used in investing activities as described above and higher principal paid on lease liabilities.

Free operating cash flows from the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 increased to $336.3m from $309.6m for the third quarter ended December 27, 2020 due to higher cash flows from operating activities as described above partially offset by higher principal paid on lease liabilities.

Indebtedness

The following table presents our net debt(1) as at January 2, 2022, December 27, 2020, and March 28, 2021.

(1)See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.

As at January 2, 2022, net debt was $238.1m compared to $184.8m as at December 27, 2020. The increase of $53.3m was driven by a lower cash position of $61.4m and an increase of $9.3m in lease liabilities partially offset by an increase in the borrowings of the Term Loan Facility by $10.4m due to the Refinancing Amendment. Net debt leverage(1) as at January 2, 2022 was 0.9 times adjusted EBITDA.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 35 of 49

Net debt as at January 2, 2022 was $238.1m compared to $154.2m as at March 28, 2021. The increase in net debt of $83.9m was driven by the consumption of cash of $70.3m, which includes the purchase of subordinate voting shares for total cash consideration of $187.3m in the three quarters ended January 2, 2022.

Revolving Facility

The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured asset-based credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) consisting of a revolving credit facility in the amount of $467.5m, with an increase in commitments to $517.5m during the peak season (June 1 - November 30). The Revolving Facility matures on June 3, 2024. Amounts owing under the Revolving Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Facility contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds.

As at January 2, 2022, the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the Revolving Facility (December 27, 2020 - $nil and March 28, 2021 - $nil) and related deferred financing charges in the amounts of $1.0m (December 27, 2020 - $1.9m and March 28, 2021 - $1.7m) were included in other long-term liabilities. As at and during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company had unused borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility of $158.4m as at January 2, 2022 (December 27, 2020 - $256.2m, March 28, 2021 - $181.2m).

The Company had a first-in, last-out facility included in the Revolving Facility in the amount of $50.0m which matured on May 25, 2021. No amounts were outstanding at the time of maturity and the first-in, last-out facility has not been renewed. As the facility was not renewed, deferred financing costs of $0.4m were written off to the statement of income.

As at January 2, 2022, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility of $4.8m (December 27, 2020 - $5.3m, March 28, 2021 - $5.0m).

Term Loan Facility

The Company has a senior secured loan agreement (“Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders that is secured on a split collateral basis alongside the Revolving Facility. As a result of the Refinancing Amendment which took place on October 7, 2020, the aggregate principal amount owing increased to US$300.0m from US$113.8m.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 36 of 49

As a result of the Repricing Amendment, there were no changes to the following terms from the existing Term Loan Facility: a) the aggregate principal amount of US$300.0m; b) the maturity date of October 7, 2027; c) LIBOR may not be less than 0.75%, and d) US$0.75m on the principal amount is repayable quarterly. The Repricing Amendment had no impact on the existing derivative contracts entered into on October 30, 2020.

Voluntary prepayments of amounts owing under the Term Loan Facility may be made at any time without premium or penalty but once repaid may not be reborrowed. The Company began quarterly repayments of US$0.75m on the principal amount during the first quarter ended June 27, 2021. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains financial and non-financial covenants, which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds. As at and during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

As the Term Loan Facility is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company remeasures the outstanding balance in Canadian dollars at each balance sheet date. As at January 2, 2022, we had $375.5m (US$297.0m) aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility (March 28, 2021 - $377.3m). The difference in amounts in these periods is the result of the change in the CAD:USD exchange rate. As at December 27, 2020, prior to the Refinancing Amendment, the aggregate principal amount owing was $385.9m.

Mainland China Facilities

Short-term Borrowings

Lease Liabilities

The Company had $270.2m (December 27, 2020 - $260.9m, March 28, 2021 - $254.8m) of lease liabilities as at January 2, 2022, of which $61.7m (December 27, 2020 - $44.3m, March 28, 2021 - $45.2m) are due within one year. Lease liabilities represent the discounted amount of future payments under leases for right-of-use assets.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

The Company has initiated a NCIB in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company is authorized to make purchases under the NCIB from August 20, 2021 to August 19, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the Company to repurchase up to 5,943,239 subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares as at August 6, 2021. Purchases will be made by means of open market transactions on both the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as a securities regulatory authority may permit. Under the NCIB, the Company will be allowed to purchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 256,010 subordinate voting shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume, as calculated per the TSX rules for the six-month period starting on February 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021. Repurchased subordinate voting shares will be cancelled. A copy of the Company's notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Company. The Company believes that the purchase of its subordinate voting shares under the NCIB is an appropriate and desirable use of available excess cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company uses off-balance sheet arrangements including letters of credit and guarantees in connection with certain obligations, including leases. In Europe, the Company also entered into an agreement to factor, on a limited recourse basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable up to a limit of €20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice. Refer to the “Credit risk” section of this MD&A for additional details on the Trade accounts receivable factoring program. Other than those items disclosed here and elsewhere in this MD&A and our financial statements, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments as at January 2, 2022.

Outstanding Share Capital

Canada Goose is a publicly traded company and the subordinate voting shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: GOOS) and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: GOOS). As at February 7, 2022, there were 55,961,710 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding, and 51,004,076 multiple voting shares issued and outstanding.

As at February 7, 2022, there were 2,755,180 options and 220,844 restricted share units outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, of which 943,715 options were vested as of such date. Each option is exercisable for one subordinate voting share. We expect that vested restricted share units will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per restricted share unit.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally associated with credit risk, foreign currency risk, and interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows

Our Interim Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues, purchases, and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds sterling, Swiss francs, Chinese yuan, and Hong Kong dollars. Furthermore, as our business in Greater China grows, transactions in Chinese yuan and Hong Kong dollar are expected to increase. Net monetary assets denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars that are held in entities with Canadian dollar functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income by increasing our revenue, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in the prices of U.S. dollar denominated purchases as a result of changes in U.S. dollar exchange rates. A depreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will negatively impact operating income and net income by increasing our costs of raw materials, while an appreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will have the opposite impact.

The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar, and Swedish krona exchange rates for revenues and purchases. Certain forward foreign exchange contracts were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges. On December 18, 2020, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 3, 2022. During the second quarter ended September 26, 2021, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 2, 2023.

Foreign exchange risk on borrowings

Amounts available for borrowing under part of our Revolving Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars. As at January 2, 2022, there were no amounts owing under the Revolving Facility.

Amounts available for borrowing under the Term Loan Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars. Based on our outstanding balances of $375.5m (US$297.0m) under the Term Loan Facility as at January 2, 2022, a $0.01 depreciation in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease in our pre-tax income of $3.0m solely as a result of that exchange rate fluctuation’s effect on the debt.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 43 of 49

The Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk related to principal and interest payments on the Term Loan Facility denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company also entered into a five-year forward exchange contract by selling $368.5m and receiving US$270.0m as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on a portion of the Term Loan Facility.

The Company recognized the following unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in other comprehensive income:


	Three quarters ended				Third quarter ended

	Three quarters ended		Third quarter ended

Loss from other comprehensive income	$	$	$	$
Swaps designated as cash flow hedges	0.7	5.3	0.2	1.0

For the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, unrealized gains of $0.3m and $0.4m, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - unrealized losses of $14.7m and $16.4m, respectively) in the fair value of the long-dated forward exchange contract related to a portion of the Term Loan Facility were recognized in SG&A expenses in the statement of income.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Mainland China Facilities. Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings on the Mainland China Facilities during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings would have increased interest expense by $0.1m (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - less than $0.1m). Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate would have increased interest expense on the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility by less than $0.1m and $2.8m, respectively (three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $1.1m and $1.7m, respectively).


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 44 of 49

The Company entered into five-year interest rate swaps by fixing the LIBOR component of its interest rate at 0.95% on notional debt of US$270.0m. The swaps terminate on December 31, 2025. Subsequent to the Repricing Amendment, the applicable interest rate on the interest rate swaps was 4.45%. The interest rate swaps were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Interest rate risk on the Term Loan Facility is partially mitigated by interest rate swap hedges. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A lease liability due to the controlling shareholder of the acquired Baffin Inc. business (the “Baffin Vendor”) for leased premises was $4.0m as at January 2, 2022 (December 27, 2020 - $4.8m, March 28, 2021 - $4.6m). During the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, the Company paid principal and interest on the lease liability, net of rent concessions, and other operating costs to entities affiliated with the Baffin Vendor totaling $0.4m and $1.1m, respectively (third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020 - $0.3m and $0.9m, respectively). No amounts were owing to Baffin entities as at January 2, 2022, December 27, 2020, and March 28, 2021.

FISCAL 2022 OUTLOOK

A revised discussion as to our fiscal 2022 outlook is contained in our earnings press release dated February 10, 2022 under the section entitled “Revised Fiscal 2022 Outlook”.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our Annual Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statements, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are critical to our business operations and understanding our financial results.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that we believe could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the Interim Financial Statements.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 45 of 49

Revenue recognition. Revenue comprises DTC, Wholesale, and Other segment revenues. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is presented net of sales tax, estimated returns, sales allowances, and discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company has agreed terms with its customers, the contractual rights and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, it is probable that consideration will be collected by the Company, and when control of the goods is transferred to the customer have been met.

It is the Company’s policy to sell merchandise through the DTC channel with a limited right to return, typically within 30 days. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns.

Inventories. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value which requires us to use estimates related to fluctuations in inventory levels, planned production, customer behaviour, obsolescence, future retail prices, seasonality and costs necessary to sell the inventory.

We periodically review our inventories and make provisions as necessary to appropriately value obsolete or damaged raw materials and finished goods. In addition, as part of inventory valuations, we accrue for inventory shrinkage for lost or stolen items based on historical trends from actual physical inventory counts.

Leases. We exercise judgment when contracts are entered into that may give rise to a right-of-use asset that would be accounted for as a lease. Judgment is required in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease by lease basis. We consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option at inception and over the term of the lease, including investments in major leaseholds, operating performance, and changed circumstances. The periods covered by renewal or termination options are only included in the lease term if we are reasonably certain to exercise that option. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the retail industry may impact the assessment of the lease term.

We determine the present value of future lease payments by estimating the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets. We determine the incremental borrowing rate of each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets by incorporating our creditworthiness, the security, term, and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to macroeconomic changes in the environment.

Impairment of non-financial assets (goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use assets). We are required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their cash generating units (“CGU”) for the purposes of testing non-financial assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment. For the purpose of goodwill and intangible assets impairment testing, CGUs are grouped at the lowest level at which goodwill and intangible assets are monitored for internal management purposes. Judgment is also applied in allocating the carrying amount of assets to CGUs. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an impairment test to be completed.


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 46 of 49

In determining the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs, various estimates are employed. We determine value-in-use by using estimates including projected future revenues, margins, costs, and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the Board of Directors. Fair value less costs of disposal are estimated with reference to observable market transactions. Discount rates are consistent with external industry information reflecting the risk associated with the specific cash flows.

Income and other taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except when it relates to a business combination, or items recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. Application of judgment is required regarding the classification of transactions and in assessing probable outcomes of claimed deductions including expectations about future operating results, the timing and reversal of temporary differences and possible audits of income tax and other tax filings by the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Warranty. The critical assumptions and estimates used in determining the warranty provision at the statement of financial position date are: the number of jackets expected to require repair or replacement; the proportion to be repaired versus replaced; the period in which the warranty claim is expected to occur; the cost of repair; the cost to replace a jacket; and the risk-free rate used to discount the provision to present value. We review our inputs to this estimate on a quarterly basis to ensure the provision reflects the most current information regarding our products.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Standards issued and not yet adopted


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 47 of 49

Standards issued and adopted

In August 2020, the IASB issued “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase II (amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments; IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures; IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16, Leases)”, which addresses issues that affect financial reporting once an existing benchmark rate is replaced with an alternative rate and provides specific disclosure requirements. The amendments introduce a practical expedient for modifications required by the Interbank Offer Rate (“IBOR”) reform. The amendments relate to the modification of financial instruments where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of the IBOR reform, allowing for prospective application of the alternative rate. A similar practical expedient exists for lessee accounting under IFRS 16. It also relates to the application of hedge accounting, which is not discontinued solely because of the IBOR reform. Hedging relationships, including formal designation and documentation, must be amended to reflect modifications to the hedged item, however, the practical expedient allows the hedge relationship to continue, although additional ineffectiveness may be required. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. A broader market-wide initiative is underway to transition the various IBOR based on rates in use to alternative reference rates. The Company’s borrowing facilities, interest rate swaps, lease liabilities, and the trade accounts receivable factoring program will be impacted by the IBOR reform. As such, the reformed IFRS guidance has been adopted, however, accounting under the adopted standard will take place once IBOR related arrangements are modified, which constitutes as an accounting event. As no accounting events have occurred to date, the Company has determined there is no financial reporting impact as of January 2, 2022. The Company is in discussions with its lenders and is currently determining if any modifications will meet the requirements for the application of the practical expedient.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange


			Canada Goose Holdings Inc.			Page 48 of 49

Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 2, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and the CFO and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

•Pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

•Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that the receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and

•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the assets of the Company that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 2, 2022.

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Management's projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Canada Goose Reports Results for Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 and Revised Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights (in Canadian dollars):

•Total revenue $586.1m

•Net income $151.9m, or $1.41 per diluted share

•Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $206.9m, representing a 35.3% margin

•Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $1.42

TORONTO, ON (February 10, 2022) - Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.

“Canada Goose’s brand momentum and supply chain resilience drove a strong performance in our largest quarter,” said Dani Reiss, President & CEO. “Our digital business continued to exceed last year’s outsized gains, alongside a sharp improvement in retail productivity. We remain confident in our long-term trajectory for revenue growth and margin expansion, notwithstanding the emergence of temporary and unexpected COVID-19 disruptions in certain markets.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Business Highlights (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2021)

•Total revenue increased by 26.5%, excluding $10.7m of temporary PPE sales in the comparative quarter. Including temporary PPE sales, total revenue increased by 23.6%.

•Total non-parka revenue increased by 74.9%, reflecting growing year-round lifestyle relevance.

•Global e-Commerce revenue increased by 28.1%.

•DTC revenue in Mainland China increased by 35.1%.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results (compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2021)

•Total revenue was $586.1m from $474.0m. As fiscal 2022 is a 53-week year, the additional week included in the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 provided $40.9m of revenue.

•DTC revenue was $445.4m from $299.4m. The majority of the increase was driven by higher sales from existing retail stores, complemented by e-Commerce growth and retail expansion.

•Wholesale revenue was $136.7m from $160.8m. The decrease was a result of earlier order shipment timing relative to fiscal 2021, driven by wholesale partner requests.

•Other revenue was $4.0m from $13.8m. The decrease was attributable to temporary PPE sales in the comparative quarter.

•Gross profit was $413.8m, a gross margin of 70.6%, compared to $316.4m and 66.8%.

•DTC gross margin of 77.1%, compared to 77.9%. The decrease was driven by a higher proportion of sales in non-parka categories (-50 bps), higher duty costs (-50 bps), government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-50 bps) and an unfavorable shift in geographic mix (-30 bps). This was partially offset by pricing (+120 bps).

•Wholesale gross margin of 50.2%, compared to 51.5%. The decrease was driven by government payroll subsidies in the comparative quarter (-190 bps) and unfavorable impacts from product mix due to higher sales in non-parka categories (-190 bps). This was partially offset by a higher proportion of sales to wholesale partners compared to international distributors (+100 bps) and pricing (+170 bps).

•Other segment gross profit was $1.6m from $0.3m.

•Operating income was $205.9m, an operating margin of 35.1%, compared to $153.3m and 32.3%.

•DTC operating margin of 57.4%, compared to 55.0%. The positive impact of revenue growth was partially offset by the decrease in segment gross margin.

•Wholesale operating margin of 35.6%, compared to 42.9%. The decrease in operating margin was attributable to lower gross margin and higher SG&A expenses.

•Other operating loss was $(98.5)m from $(80.4)m. The increase in operating loss was attributable to incremental SG&A expenses including $15.3m of investment in marketing, $7.9m of personnel costs and $5.1m in strategic initiatives including digital capabilities and the launch of Canada Goose footwear. This was partially offset by $14.5m of favorable foreign exchange fluctuations.

•Net income was $151.9m, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $107.0m, or $0.96 per diluted share.

•Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT was $206.9m, an adjusted EBIT margin of 35.3%, compared to $157.9m and 33.3%.

•Non-IFRS adjusted net income was $152.6m, or $1.42 per diluted share, compared to $111.9m, or $1.01 per diluted share.

•Cash was $407.6m as at quarter end, compared to $469.0m. During the year, 3,865,136 subordinate voting shares were repurchased for a total cash consideration of $187.3m.

•Inventory was $368.1m as at quarter end, compared to $339.0m.

Revised Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Due to lower than expected revenue and retail traffic in APAC and EMEA in the current quarter, alongside new variant outbreaks and restrictions, the Company now expects the following for fiscal 2022:

•Total revenue $1.090Bn to $1.105Bn, compared to $1.125Bn to $1.175Bn.

•Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $165m to $175m at an adjusted EBIT margin of 15.1% to 15.8%, compared to $186m to $208m at an adjusted EBIT margin of 16.5% to 17.7%.

•Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $1.02 to $1.11, compared to $1.17 to $1.33.

This is based on a number of assumptions, including the following:

•No material change in current economic conditions and operating disruptions, including those related to COVID-19.

•DTC revenue at approximately 68% of total revenue, compared to approximately 70%.

•Wholesale revenue growth 6% to 7%, compared to mid-single digits.

•Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 109.4m, compared to 109.3m.

Within the meaning of applicable securities laws, this outlook constitutes forward-looking information. The purpose of this outlook is to provide a description of management's expectations regarding the Company's financial performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including the extent and duration of operational disruptions that may affect our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in our MD&A. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

The tables below reconcile net income to EBIT, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted net income for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBIT margin is equal to adjusted EBIT for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

(c)Net temporary store closure costs of $nil and $0.2m were incurred in the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively. These were comprised of temporary store costs of $nil and $0.4m, partially offset by government subsidies of $nil and $0.2m in Europe in the third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022, respectively. Globally, government subsidies of $6.4m and $27.1m were recognized in the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. Government subsidies were recorded as a reduction to excess overhead costs from temporary closure of manufacturing facilities ($nil and $1.3m), temporary store closure costs (less than $0.1m and $1.4m), and restructuring expense ($nil and $0.4m), for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively. The benefit of $6.4m and $26.7m of government subsidies therefore remained in adjusted EBIT as a reduction to the associated wage costs for the third and three quarters ended December 27, 2020, respectively.

(d)Costs incurred during pre-opening periods for new retail stores, including depreciation on right-of-use assets.

(g)Costs incurred for the transition of logistics, warehousing, and freight forwarding agencies to enhance our global distribution structure.

(h)Costs in connection with the Baffin acquisition and the impact of gross margin that would otherwise have been recognized on inventory recorded at net realizable value less costs to sell.

(i)Release of a non-cash sales contract provision as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in the respective jurisdiction during the three quarters ended December 27, 2020.

(k)Includes costs for class action lawsuits and rent abatement received.
