SEGMENT REPORTING

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s reportable segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to allocate resources and assess performance of its business.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, to leverage the knowledge and experience of our regional teams to better drive brand growth, the Company reorganized its structure and now manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting ofthree reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income (loss). The Americas reportable segment includes the results of operations in North America and South America. The EMEA reportable segment includes the results of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The APAC reportable segment includes the results of operations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. All prior periods presented are recast to conform to the new segment presentation.

The group comprised of the Company’s (i) Chief Executive Officer and (ii) Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer functions as the Company’s CODM. The Company’s CODM manages business operations and evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and operating income (loss) of the segment.

Net sales by segment are presented by attributing revenues on the basis of the segment that fulfills the order. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributed to the segment. Corporate/other expenses include expenses incurred that are not directly attributed to a reportable segment and primarily relate to corporate or global functions such as design, sourcing, brand management, corporate strategy, information technology, finance, treasury, legal, human resources, and other corporate support services, as well as certain globally managed components of the planning, merchandising, and marketing functions.

The Company reports inventories by segment as that information is used by the CODM in determining allocation of resources to the segments. The Company does not report its other assets by segment as that information is not used by the CODM in assessing segment performance or allocating resources.

The following tables provide the Company’s segment information as of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, and for Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.
