Current report
During the second half of fiscal 2025, the U.S. Government announced tariffs on imports from select countries. The majority of the Company's products sold in the U.S. are imported from countries in which these tariffs were announced. As a result of the Company's actions to accelerate inventory purchases and based on current trends of the business, we did not experience a meaningful negative impact to our results of operations in fiscal 2025.
Current report
At the time of this report, the Company estimates a projected tariff and trade policy impact of approximately 230 basis points to operating margin in fiscal 2026 after consideration of mitigating actions. In addition, there could be further impact to our results of operations in fiscal 2026 and beyond depending on the outcome of trade negotiations. The Company is prepared to take actions to mitigate this negative impact as changes in trade relations, economic and monetary policies are made clear.

Fiscal 2025 Impairment
Current report
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis. The assessment concluded that the fair values of the Kate Spade reporting unit and indefinite-lived brand intangible asset did not exceed their respective carrying values due to a reduction in both current and future expected cash flows, which includes an estimated impact of cost increases due to changes in tariff and trade policies. As a result, the Company recorded $244.1 million of impairment charges to goodwill for the Kate Spade reporting unit and $610.7 million of impairment charges to indefinite-lived brand intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Refer to "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates," herein, for further information.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted. Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA include the repeal of mandatory capitalization of research and development expenditures (reinstating full expensing beginning January 2025), permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation, and revisions to international tax regimes that more closely align with the original application of Tax Cut Jobs Act of 2017. The Company is evaluating the financial implications of the OBBBA and will begin reflecting its effects in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company believes this legislation will not have a material impact on its financial statements but will continue to evaluate as guidance becomes available.

The Capri Acquisition, once completed, will bring together six highly complementary brands with global reach, powered by the Company’s data-rich customer engagement platform and diversified, direct-to-consumer operating model. The transaction is expected to close during calendar year 2024. In order to finance the Capri Acquisition, on November 27, 2023, the Company issued $4.50 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes") and €1.50 billion of Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition EUR Senior Notes" and, together with the Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes, the "Capri Acquisition Senior Notes") which, together with the $1.40 billion of delayed draw unsecured term loan facilities (the "Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities") executed on August 30, 2023, complete the expected financing for the Capri Acquisition. The Company has received regulatory approval from all applicable jurisdictions except for the United States. On April 22, 2024, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company and Capri in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Capri Acquisition. The FTC’s complaint alleges that the Capri Acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that the Merger Agreement and the Capri Acquisition constitute unfair methods of competition in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and should be enjoined. The Company believes the FTC’s claims are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.Refer to Note 5, "Acquisitions" for further information.

Several organizations that monitor the world’s economy, including the International Monetary Fund, continue to forecast growth in the global economy, and remains unchanged since the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law by the Biden Administration, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% CAMT on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The CAMT was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
Current wording
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases.

Previous wording
On December 12, 2022, the E.U. member states also reached an agreement to implement the OECD’s reform of international taxation known as GloBE, which broadly mirrors the Inflation Reduction Act by imposing a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. Based on the countries in which we do business that have enacted legislation effective January 1, 2025, we do not expect the impact of these changes to be material for fiscal 2025. A number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation with effective dates starting in 2026. As a result, we do expect a modest negative impact on the Company’s effective tax rate, however, this could change as other countries enact similar legislation and further guidance is released. We continue to closely monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts.
Current wording
On December 12, 2022, the E.U. member states also reached an agreement to implement the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) reform of international taxation known as Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“GloBE”), which broadly mirrors the Inflation Reduction Act by imposing a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies, which was effective on January 1, 2025. Based on the countries in which we do business, these changes did not have a material impact in fiscal 2025. Other countries are also implementing similar legislation with effective dates starting in fiscal 2026, known as Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax ("QDMTT"). On June 26, 2025, the U.S. Treasury reached an agreement with the other G7 countries regarding the application of GloBE rules to U.S. parented multinational enterprises ("U.S. MNEs"). Most notably, the agreement includes a full exclusion for U.S. MNEs from the Undertaxed Profits Rule and Income Inclusion Rule, which are two of the three taxing mechanisms under GloBE. Given that the third mechanism, QDMTT is still in force, it is unclear what impact if any this agreement will have on the Company. Unless U.S. MNEs are likewise excluded from QDMTT, the Company believes QDMTT would have a negative impact on its effective tax rate in fiscal 2026 and beyond.
