Financial Results and Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The Company's results are reported in this press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release.

The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024. On December 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Versace business. Unless otherwise noted, the discussion below including analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates only to continuing operations.

Outlook

The following guidance is provided on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis, and is based on continuing operations only. Financial results could differ materially from the current outlook due to a number of external events which are not reflected in our guidance, including changes in global macroeconomic conditions, incremental tariff rates in excess of our assumptions, greater than anticipated inflationary pressures or weakening consumer confidence, and further considerable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

For Capri Holdings, the Company expects the following:

• Total revenue of approximately $3.45 to $3.475 billion
• Operating income of approximately $100 million
• Net interest income of approximately $85 to $90 million
• Effective tax rate in the low- to mid-teens range
• Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 120 million

For Jimmy Choo, the Company expects the following:

• Operating margin in the negative low-single-digit range

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial outlook to the corresponding GAAP measures presented in this press release and on the Company’s conference call without unreasonable effort due to the challenge in quantifying various significant items, including, but not limited to, foreign currency fluctuations, taxes, increased tariffs, and any future restructuring and other charges and expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Constant currency effects are non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitate comparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. The Company believes presenting metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and provide a framework to assess how business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currency impacts by translating the current year's reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year's foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constant currency performance measures discussed in this press release should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company also presents free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by taking net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for the period. The Company believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of cash that is available after giving effect to our capital and strategic plans, and that it is useful to investors because it measures the Company's ability to generate cash. Additionally, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain one-time, non-recurring costs associated with reserves related to a wholesale customer bankruptcy, restructuring activities, our store renovation plan, merger and divestiture transactions, impairment charges and Capri transformation initiatives. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and in order to represent the manner in which the Company conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding these items, which are not comparable from period to period, helps investors compare operating and financial performance in a manner consistent with management's evaluation of ongoing business performance. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures to be useful supplemental measures in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any amounts presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
