- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2026 ("fiscal 2026") and other filings with the SEC.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company changed the presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to whole millions from the historical presentation of tenths of millions and, as a result, any necessary rounding adjustments have been made to prior year disclosed amounts.
The results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended September 26, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which will end on July 3, 2027 ("fiscal 2027").
Fiscal Periods
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal 2027 will end on July 3, 2027 and will be a 53-week year. Fiscal 2026, which ended on June 27, 2026, was a 52-week year. The first quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended on September 26, 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on September 27, 2025, were both 13-week periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for the realizability of inventory; asset retirement obligations; customer returns, end-of-season markdowns and operational chargebacks; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions; accounting for business combinations; the valuation of share-based compensation awards and related expected forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring; and reserves for litigation and other contingencies, amongst others.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all 100% owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Additionally, GAAP requires the consolidation of all entities for which a company has a controlling voting interest and all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which a company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. An entity is generally a VIE if it meets any of the following criteria: (i) the entity has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (ii) the equity investors cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations or (iii) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity or receive the expected returns of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities involve or are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately few voting rights.
Share Repurchases
The Company accounts for stock repurchases by allocating the repurchase price to Common stock and Retained earnings (accumulated deficit). Under Maryland law, the Company's state of incorporation, there are no treasury shares. All repurchased shares are authorized but unissued shares; these shares may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time. The Company accounts for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. Purchases of the Company's common stock may be executed through open market purchases including through purchase agreements under Rule 10b5-1, in privately negotiated transactions or in other transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs. Excise tax on net share repurchases is recorded in Retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as part of Stockholders' Equity.
Supplier Finance Program
To improve our working capital efficiency, the Company makes available to certain suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to a global financial institution on a non-recourse basis at a rate that leverages our credit rating. The Company does not have the ability to refinance or modify payment terms to the global financial institution through the SCF program. No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF program. The Company’s payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the program. As of September 26, 2026 and June 27, 2026, $503 million and $318 million, respectively, were related to suppliers eligible to participate in the Company's SCF program and are presented within Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The ending balance as of September 27, 2025 is a loss of $80 million, net of tax of $15 million.
(3) The ending balance of AOCI relates to excluded components of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. The ending balance as of September 26, 2026 is a gain of $1 million, net of tax of less than $1 million.
- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its sale of inventory, cross-currency intercompany loans and payables, and the remeasurement and translation of foreign operations. The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. These derivative transactions are in accordance with the Company’s risk management policies. Each derivative instrument entered into by the Company that qualifies for hedge accounting is expected to be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company records all derivative contracts at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company may be exposed to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon an evaluation of their credit ratings, among other factors.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and include an adjustment for the counterparty's or Company’s credit risk. Judgment is required of management in developing estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could affect the estimated fair value.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts primarily to reduce its risks related to exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated inventory transactions. This primarily includes exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar and Euro. The derivative instrument gains (losses) are initially deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and subsequently recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Cost of sales, when the related inventory is sold to a third party.
If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been highly effective or will continue not to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and further gains (losses) are recognized in earnings. Upon discontinuance of hedge accounting, amounts previously recorded in AOCI are recognized in earnings when the related hedged item affects earnings, unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, in which case the accumulated amount is immediately recognized in earnings.
For cash flow reporting purposes, the Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of the cash flow hedging instruments in the same manner as the related item being hedged, primarily within cash from operating activities.
The Company expects that $11 million of net derivative gain related to inventory purchases included in AOCI at September 26, 2026 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. This amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company enters into cross-currency swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce its risks related to exchange rate fluctuations on net investments in foreign subsidiaries, including our Euro, Japanese Yen and Chinese Renminbi denominated subsidiaries, against future volatility in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and their local currencies. The related gains (losses) are deferred within cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) in AOCI until the net investment is sold or liquidated, and current maturity dates range from March 2035 to November 2039.
The Company assesses net investment hedges under the spot method, resulting in cross-currency basis spread on swaps and the spot to forward rate difference on forward exchanges being excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The portion of change in fair value attributable to excluded components is recorded in AOCI and amortized to earnings within Interest expense, net.
Upon termination of derivative instruments that are designated as a net investment hedge, the changes in the fair value of the instruments recognized as a component within AOCI remain in CTA until the net investment is sold or liquidated. If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been highly effective or will continue not to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and further gains (losses) are recognized in earnings.
For cash flow reporting purposes, proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a net investment hedge are included within cash from investing activities, unless the derivative instrument includes an other-than-insignificant financing element, for which these cash flows are primarily classified within cash from financing activities.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company enters into cross-currency swaps to reduce its risks related to foreign exchange rate fluctuations associated with certain cross-currency intercompany loans. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges are recognized within Other expense (income) on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, which generally offset the adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. The portion of the change in the fair value of designated cross-currency swap contracts attributable to the excluded component is recorded in AOCI and amortized to earnings within Other expense (income). If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been highly effective or will continue not to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, any amounts associated with excluded components in AOCI would be reclassified into earnings immediately.
The Company also enters into interest rate contracts to reduce exposure to changes in the fair value of certain fixed‑rate debt resulting from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The gains and losses on the interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Interest expense, net and are generally offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities. If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been highly effective or will continue not to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and any basis adjustment is amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the hedged item, unless the hedged item is derecognized, in which case the basis adjustment is recognized in earnings immediately. Additionally, any amounts associated with excluded components in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the same manner.
For cash flow reporting purposes, the Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a derivative instrument in the same manner as the related item being hedged, primarily within cash from operating activities.
Undesignated Hedges
The Company also enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are not designated as hedges, to reduce its risks related to exchange rate fluctuations associated with certain cross-currency intercompany loans and payables. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded through earnings within Other expense (income) on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, which offset the revaluation of the hedged underlying assets and liabilities.
For cash flow reporting purposes, the Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a derivative instrument in the same manner as the related item being hedged, primarily within cash from operating activities.

- EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and any other potentially dilutive instruments, only in the periods in which such effects are dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 26, 2026 | September 27, 2025 | |
| (millions, except per share data) | ||
| Net income (loss) | $360 | $275 |
| Weighted-average basic shares | 199.3 | 207.6 |
| Dilutive securities: | ||
| Effect of dilutive securities | 5.2 | 7.9 |
| Weighted-average diluted shares | 204.5 | 215.5 |
| Net income (loss) per share: | ||
| Basic | $1.81 | $1.32 |
| Diluted | $1.76 | $1.28 |
Earnings per share amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the common stock during the reporting period are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share. In addition, the Company has outstanding restricted stock unit awards that are issuable only upon the achievement of certain performance goals. Performance-based restricted stock unit awards are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions and any applicable market condition modifiers (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. As of September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2025, there were 0.5 million and 0.6 million, respectively, of additional shares issuable upon exercise of anti-dilutive options and contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

$2.00 Billion Revolving Credit Facility
On May 22, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to refinance and replace the Company's unsecured revolving facility dated May 11, 2022 (the "Existing Revolving Credit Facility") with a new revolving credit facility (the "Amended Revolving Credit Facility"), among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”). Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, the Lenders have made available to the Company a $2.00 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, including sub-facilities for letters of credit, with a maturity date of May 22, 2030.
Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a term secured overnight financing rate, (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt (subject to reduction for certain debt incurred in connection with a pending acquisition or for debt being discharged, satisfied or defeased), to (b) consolidated EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”). Additionally, the Company will pay facility fees, calculated at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, on the full amount of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, and certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued.
Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper back-up).

Fair Value Considerations
The following table shows the estimated fair values of the senior unsecured notes at September 26, 2026 and June 27, 2026 based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of the instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy:
| September 26,2026 | June 27,2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| (millions) | ||
| 4.125% Senior Notes due 2027 | $394 | $395 |
| 5.100% Senior Notes due 2030 | 736 | 757 |
| 3.050% Senior Notes due 2032 | 435 | 454 |
| 5.500% Senior Notes due 2035 | 716 | 758 |
- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not have any Level 3 investments.
The following table shows the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at September 26, 2026 and June 27, 2026:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 26,2026 | June 27,2026 | September 26,2026 | June 27,2026 | |

(1)Cash equivalents generally consist of money market funds and time deposits with maturities ofthree months or less at the date of purchase. Due to their short-term maturity, management believes that their carrying value approximates fair value.
(2)Short-term investments are recorded at fair value, which approximates their carrying value, and are primarily based upon quoted vendor or broker priced securities in active markets.
(3)The fair value of these derivative instruments is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.
Refer to Note 11, "Debt," for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt instruments.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written down to and recorded at fair value, considering market participant assumptions. The Company determines the fair values of these assets based on Level 3 measurements. Inputs to these fair value measurements included estimates of the amounts and the timing of future discounted cash flows based on historical experience, current trends, market conditions and performance expectations.
There wereno impairment charges recorded during the three months ended September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2025.
- INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2026 was 12.5%, as compared to 13.8% for the three months ended September 27, 2025.
