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 product offerings include various styles of parkas, lightweight down jackets, rainwear, windwear, apparel, fleece, 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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal shareholders hold multiple voting shares representing 48.8% of the total shares outstanding as at January 1, 2023, or 90.5% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding. Subordinate voting shares that trade on public markets represent 51.2% of the total shares outstanding as at January 1, 2023, or 9.5% 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 for the year ended April 3, 2022.
The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors on February 1, 2023.
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 Annual Financial Statements for the year ended April 3, 2022 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. Fiscal 2023 is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2022 was the first 53-week fiscal year, ending on April 3, 2022, and the additional week was added to the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.
Management identified an immaterial reclassification in the interim statement of cash flows and related note disclosure for the second and two quarters ended October 2, 2022 increasing cash outflows from investing activities and decreasing cash outflows from operating activities of $7.0m due to translation of foreign currency. The reclassification has been appropriately reflected in the interim statement of cash flows and related note disclosure for the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Depreciation and amortization for amounts not included in costs of goods sold, which were previously presented in a separate line item, are reflected in the presentation of selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
COVID-19 pandemic
Globally, public health officials have imposed restrictions and recommended precautions to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"). While restrictions have been lifted across all geographies with the exception of the Asia Pacific region, we continue to be impacted to some extent. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, store operations were negatively impacted in the Asia Pacific region by COVID-19 related restrictions resulting in store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic.
As a result of the temporary store closures, net costs of $0.8m and $3.3m were recognized in SG&A expenses and net interest, finance and other costs during the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $nil and $0.2m, respectively).
Management assessed whether indicators of impairment existed as at January 1, 2023 in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. Management has identified indicators of impairment as at January 1, 2023, however based on the analysis performed, no impairment charges or reversals have been recorded in the three quarters ended January 1, 2023.
Principles of consolidation
The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and those investments over which the Company has control. 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 our 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, including 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.
Summary of accounting policies adopted
Non-controlling interest
In connection with the Japan Joint Venture (refer to note 3), a non-controlling interest accounting policy was adopted. At the date of acquisition, the Company elected to measure the non-controlling interest for the Japan Joint Venture based on the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with equity owners of the Company. Changes in the Company's ownership interest of CG Japan (refer to note 3) are accounted for as equity transactions.
Financial instruments
In connection with the Japan Joint Venture (refer to note 3), the Company established a financial liability for the put option in respect of non-controlling interests based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid to the non-controlling shareholder if exercised. Subsequently, the put option liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the present value of the amount that could be required to be paid at each reporting date, with fluctuations being recorded within the interim statements of income, until it is exercised or expires. The put option is measured at fair value through profit or loss and the fair value of the put option is classified as Level 3 in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair value measurement.
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 policies 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. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-

Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amendment.

In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) finalized an agenda decision within the scope of IAS 38, Intangible Assets 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 expensed as incurred.
The adoption of the agenda decision was recognized as a change in accounting policy in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8"). The Company amended the existing accounting policies related to implementation costs on SaaS arrangements as at April 1, 2019. The Company assessed the impact of the interpretation and identified $25.4m of costs recognized as intangible assets within ERP and computer software related to SaaS arrangements that were no longer eligible for capitalization and amortization in accordance with the agenda decision. As a result, these costs were written off as at April 1, 2019 as these costs would have been required to be expensed in the period incurred.
In accordance with IAS 8, retrospective application is required for accounting policy changes and comparative financial information was restated in these interim financial statements. Refer to the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended April 3, 2022 for information on the opening balance sheet as a result of the retrospective application. The following tables outline the impacts of the restatements on the comparative periods:

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
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 term loan facility at a net book value of $397.5m, is impacted by the IBOR reform. As such, the reformed

(unaudited)
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 1, 2023. 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. Business combination
The Company and a former distributor of the Company's products in Japan, Sazaby League, Ltd. ("Sazaby League"), entered into an agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") to form a joint venture (the “Japan Joint Venture”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 50% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the legal entity comprising the joint venture, Canada Goose Japan, K.K. (“CG Japan”), on April 4, 2022. CG Japan was established to market, distribute and sell Canada Goose products, and to operate retail stores and e-Commerce in Japan.
Prior to the establishment of CG Japan, the Company sold its products to the former distributor. The majority of sales historically occurred in the first and second quarters and were recorded in the Wholesale operating segment. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company will consolidate the results of CG Japan and revenue and results of operations will be aligned to the respective operating segments and are expected to occur more in line with the seasonality of the Company's Wholesale and DTC segments.
Management performed an analysis under IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and since the Company has the power to direct the relevant activities of CG Japan, is exposed to variable returns, and can use its power to influence those returns, management determined that the Company has control over CG Japan for accounting purposes. In addition, management performed an analysis under IFRS 3, Business Combinations and has determined that the Company is the acquirer of CG Japan. Management determined that the assets and processes acquired comprised a business and therefore, accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at their fair values.
The Company paid cash consideration to CG Japan of JPY250.0m ($2.6m) plus deferred contingent consideration to the non-controlling shareholder with an estimated fair value of JPY1,958.9m ($20.0m) resulting in total consideration of JPY2,208.9m ($22.6m). The deferred contingent consideration is payable if an agreed cumulative adjusted EBIT target is not reached through the period ended June 30, 2026. The fair value of the applicable contingent consideration is determined based on the estimated financial outcome and the resulting expected contingent consideration to be paid, discounted using an appropriate rate. As at April 4, 2022, the contingent consideration amount was recorded in other long-term liabilities. The amount of contingent consideration is remeasured at its fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The Company recorded a decrease of JPY215.7m ($2.2m, excluding translation losses of $1.2m) and JPY603.9m ($5.9m, excluding translation gains of $0.1m) on the remeasurement of the contingent consideration during the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, respectively, resulting in the fair value of the contingent consideration of JPY1,355.0m ($14.0m). For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the gains on the fair value remeasurement were recorded within net interest, finance and other costs in the consolidated interim statements of income.
The Company incurred $0.1m and $1.1m, in transaction related costs which are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated interim statements of income and consolidated interim
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 11 of 37 | |||||||
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
statements of comprehensive income for the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, respectively. For the year ended April 3, 2022, the Company incurred $0.7m in transaction related costs.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on a preliminary valuation at their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:
| $ | |||||
| Assets acquired | |||||
| Cash | 5.4 | ||||
| Inventories | 27.3 | ||||
| Property, plant and equipment | 1.2 | ||||
| Intangible assets | 12.1 | ||||
| Right-of-use assets | 3.3 | ||||
| Goodwill | 11.8 | ||||
| Other assets | 2.4 | ||||

| Liabilities assumed | |||||
| Bank loan | 19.4 | ||||
| Lease liabilities | 3.2 | ||||
| Warranty provision | 0.3 | ||||
| 22.9 | |||||
| Total identifiable net assets acquired | 40.6 | ||||
| Less: Deferred tax liability | 7.2 | ||||
| Less: Non-controlling interests | 10.8 | ||||
| Net assets acquired | 22.6 | ||||
| Consideration | |||||
| Cash paid | 2.6 | ||||
| Contingent consideration | 20.0 | ||||
| Total purchase consideration | 22.6 | ||||
| Cash consideration paid | (2.6) | ||||
| Plus: Cash balance acquired | 5.4 | ||||
| Net cash inflow on business combination | 2.8 | ||||
The determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are expected to be finalized within one year of the acquisition.
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between total consideration and the fair value of the net assets acquired and is attributable to expected synergies between CG Japan and the Company’s existing operations. Goodwill of $11.8m was recognized as the excess of the
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 12 of 37 | |||||||
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
acquisition cost over the fair value of net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets of $12.1m relate to the fair value of the customer list and reacquired distribution rights of the Japan market, which will be amortized over a 10-year period.
The fair value of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets was based on management’s assessment of the acquired assets’ condition, as well as an evaluation of the current market value for such assets. In addition, the Company considered the length of time over which the economic benefit of these assets is expected to be realized and estimated the useful life of such assets as of the acquisition date. The fair value of inventories has been measured at net realizable value, less cost to sell. Final valuations of certain assets and liabilities including inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, other assets and warranty provisions are not yet complete due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to adjustment upon completion of the valuation process.
CG Japan’s results are consolidated into the Company’s financial results effective April 4, 2022. For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, CG Japan contributed approximately $27.3m and $41.6m to the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively, and $4.6m and $1.1m to the Company’s operating income, respectively.
In connection with the business combination, the Joint Venture Agreement includes a put option that allows the non-controlling shareholder to sell its 50% interest to the Company within six months after certain circumstances constituting a "put option trigger" event occurs. If the put option is not exercised during such six-month period the put option will expire. The Company established a financial liability for the put option in respect of non-controlling interests. The fair value of the put option is classified as Level 3 within IFRS 13, Fair value measurement. As at April 4, 2022, the fair value of the put option held in Japanese yen by the non-controlling shareholder was recorded in other long-term liabilities in the amount of JPY2,076.4m ($21.2m).
The Company recorded the put option liability based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid to the non-controlling shareholder if exercised. Subsequently, the put option liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the present value of the amount that could be required to be paid at each reporting date, with fluctuations being recorded within the Company's consolidated interim statements of income, until it is exercised or expires. The Company recorded a decrease of JPY44.6m ($0.5m, excluding translation losses of $1.8m) and an increase of JPY130.3m ($1.2m, excluding translation losses of $0.4m) on the remeasurement of the put option liability during the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, respectively, resulting in a balance of JPY2,206.7m ($22.8m). For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the gain and loss on the fair value remeasurement, respectively, were recorded within net interest, finance and other costs in the interim statements of income.

Share capital transactions for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023
Normal course issuer bid
During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, the Company has renewed its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company is authorized to make purchases under such NCIB from November 22, 2022 to November 21, 2023, 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 5,421,685 subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares as at November 10, 2022. 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, and will conform to their regulations. Under the NCIB, the Company is allowed to repurchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 86,637 subordinate voting shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume, as calculated per the TSX rules for the six-month period starting on May 1, 2022 and ending on October 31, 2022.
In connection with the NCIB, the Company also entered 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 periods of the Company. 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 1, 2023, the Company purchased 745,381 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $17.9m, of which $1.8m was payable to the designated broker as at the period end.

Note 16. 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 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 Mainland China Facilities and the Japan Facility 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.

1 Interest commitments are calculated based on the loan balance and the interest rate payable on the Mainland China Facilities, the Japan Facility, and the term loan of 3.85%, 0.38%, and 8.23% respectively, as at January 1, 2023.
As at January 1, 2023, we had additional liabilities which included provisions for warranty, sales returns, asset retirement obligations, deferred income tax liabilities, as well as the put option liability and the contingent consideration on the Japan Joint Venture. 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 of Canada Goose Inc. 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 issuing bank for amounts drawn on issued letters of guarantees. At January 1, 2023, the Company had $6.4m outstanding.
In addition, a subsidiary of the Company in Mainland China entered into letters of guarantee and as at January 1, 2023 the amount outstanding was $5.4m. Amounts will be used to support retail operations of such subsidiaries 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 trade 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 1, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $49.5m (January 2, 2022 -
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 32 of 37 | |||||||
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
$36.4m, April 3, 2022 - $8.1m) were insured subject to the policy cap. Complementary to the third party insurance, the Company establishes payment terms with customers to mitigate credit risk and continues to closely monitor its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure.
Within CG Japan, the Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 45% of trade accounts receivable for certain designated customers for a maximum of JPY450.0m per annum subject to a deductible of 10% and applicable only to accounts with receivables over JPY100k. As at January 1, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $4.1m (JPY392.2m) were insured subject to the policy cap.
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 EUR20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice.
For the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company received total cash proceeds from the sale of trade accounts receivable with carrying values of $37.3m which were derecognized from the Company's statement of financial position (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $24.9m). Fees of $0.2m were incurred during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - less than $0.1m) and included in net interest, finance and other costs in the interim statements of income. As at January 1, 2023, the outstanding amount of trade accounts receivable derecognized from the Company’s statement of financial position, but which the Company continued to service, was $8.5m (January 2, 2022 - $10.3m, April 3, 2022 - $2.0m).
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, Hong Kong dollars and since the formation of the Japan Joint Venture, Japanese yen. 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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 2, 2023. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
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.

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 11). The Company also entered into a five-year forward exchange contract by selling $368.5m and receiving USD270.0m as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on a portion of the term loan borrowings.

Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on the borrowings outstanding under the Mainland China Facilities, Japan Facility, and the term loan, which currently bear interest rates at 3.85%, 0.38%, and 8.23%, respectively.
Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 would have increased interest expense on the Mainland China Facilities and the term loan by $0.1m and $2.9m, respectively (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $0.1m and $2.8m, respectively). Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate would have increased interest expense on our Japan Facility by $0.2m.
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 USD270.0m. The swaps terminate on December 31, 2025. 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.

For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“us,” “we,” “our,” “Canada Goose” or the “Company”) is dated February 1, 2023 and provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition for the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023. All figures are presented in Canadian (“CAD”) dollars, unless otherwise noted. You should read this MD&A together with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 (“Interim Financial Statements”) and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2022 (“Annual Financial Statements”). Additional information about Canada Goose is available on our website at www.canadagoose.com, on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, and on the EDGAR section of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2022 (“Annual Report”).
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, political, and economic disruption caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and recent and ongoing geopolitical events;
•limited disruption to our DTC channel, including store closures, whether caused by COVID-19 and recent and ongoing geopolitical events or other events;
•our ability to implement our growth strategies;
•our ability to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, suppliers, wholesalers, and distributors;
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 1 of 56 | |||||||
•our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;
•our ability to protect our intellectual property;
•the continued absence of material global supply chain disruptions to our business and ability to fulfill demand and maintain sufficient inventory levels, which we continue to monitor; and
•the absence of material adverse changes in our industry or the global economy.
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 and geopolitical events, which may further affect general economic and operating conditions;
•additional potential closures or retail 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, and we may not be able to refinance or renegotiate such indebtedness on favourable or satisfactory terms;
•an economic downturn and general economic conditions (for example, inflation and rising interest rates) may further affect discretionary consumer spending;
•we may not be able to satisfy changing consumer preferences;
•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 manage inventory and forecast our inventory need and to manage our production distribution networks. In anticipation of our expected growth and as an important hedge against inflation, we have built up our inventory to elevated levels. If our supply exceeds demand, we may be required to take certain actions to reduce inventory which could damage our brand;
•we may not be able to protect or preserve our brand image and proprietary rights;
•the success of our business strategy;
•our ability to manage our exposure to data security and cyber security events;
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 2 of 56 | |||||||
•disruptions to manufacturing and distribution activities due to such factors as operational issues, disruptions in transportation logistic functions or labour shortages or disruptions;
•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.
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.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), specifically International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and are presented in millions of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

Fiscal 2022, which ended April 3, 2022, was the first 53-week fiscal year, and the additional week was added to the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.
Management identified an immaterial reclassification in the interim statement of cash flows and related note disclosure for the second and two quarters ended October 2, 2022 increasing cash outflows from investing activities and decreasing cash outflows from operating activities of $7.0m due to translation of foreign currency. The reclassification has been appropriately reflected in the interim statement of cash flows and related note disclosure for the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Depreciation and amortization for amounts not included in costs of goods sold, which were previously presented in a separate line item, are reflected in the presentation of selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

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 1, 2023, our DTC segment included sales to customers through our 57 national e-Commerce markets and 51 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, who are partners that have partial or full exclusive territory rights to sell our products to a particular market through their own DTC channels or local wholesalers. The Other segment comprises sales and costs not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale segments, including employees sales and 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 expansion in our DTC segment, though the scale of such expansion may be delayed due to current global conditions.
•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. While restrictions have been lifted across all geographies with the exception of the Asia Pacific region, we continue to be impacted to some extent. Store operations have been negatively impacted in the Asia Pacific region by COVID-19 related restrictions resulting in store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic.
Future developments relating to COVID-19 are highly uncertain and out of our control. Prolonged disruptions due to the pandemic, including the emergence of the new COVID-19 variants and mutations, 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 impacts on our supply chain. We continue to anticipate and monitor escalating costs based both on freight constraints and required speed to stage inventory or deliver to consumers.
•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.
•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, international travel, credit markets, and foreign exchange in certain countries and travel corridors.
We remain concerned about the conflict in Ukraine and impact on human life for those affected. We continue to suspend all wholesale and e-Commerce sales to Russia, which represented less than 1% of total annual revenue in fiscal 2022. 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 6 of 56 | |||||||
•Inflationary environment. Inflationary pressures may persist in future fiscal periods or may fluctuate materially between markets. Such pressures may, among other impacts globally, have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current gross margin and SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue. In addition, elevated interest rates may impact our business, including borrowing and other costs, and the markets in which we operate. We continue to monitor the current macroeconomic conditions; however to date these pressures have not materially impacted our operations.
•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 82.5% and 86.8% of our annual wholesale revenue in the combined second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Additionally, we generated 85.0% and 89.3% of our annual DTC revenue in the combined third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, 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 EBIT1 in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. As a result of our seasonality, changes that impact gross margin and adjusted EBIT1 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 and Other Specified 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), the Mainland China Facilities (as defined below), and the Japan Facility (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.
•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 2022, 2021, and 2020, we generated 72.5%, 67.9%, and 62.3%, respectively, of our revenue in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Accordingly, we are exposed to the effect of translating the results of our foreign operations into Canadian dollars. 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 a result, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations on multiple currencies. 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 7 of 56 | |||||||
We are further exposed to translation and transaction risks associated with foreign currency exchange fluctuations on foreign currencies denominated principal and interest amounts payable on the Mainland China Facilities, the Japan Facility, the 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 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
DTC revenue consists of sales through our e-Commerce operations and retail stores. DTC revenue is recognized upon delivery of the goods to the customer and when consideration is received, net of an estimated provision for sales returns.
Wholesale revenue comprises sales to third party resellers, which includes retailers and distributors of our products. 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 products have been shipped to the reseller, are picked up from our third party warehouse, or arrive at the reseller’s facilities.
Other revenue comprises sales not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale segments, including sales to employees and, in fiscal 2021, sales of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) to federal, provincial, and local health authorities.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is our revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales comprises the cost of manufacturing our products and goods purchased from other manufacturers, 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, 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, as well as depreciation and amortization. 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, the Japan Facility, 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 9 of 56 | |||||||
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 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 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. Operating margin measures our operating income as a percentage of revenue.
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, the Japan Facility, and lease liabilities, as well as standby fees and other financing costs, net of interest income. Net interest, finance and other costs also includes the fair value remeasurements of the contingent consideration and put option liability related to the Joint Venture Agreement.
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.

BUSINESS COMBINATION
On April 4, 2022, the Company and a former distributor of the Company's products in Japan, Sazaby League, Ltd. (“Sazaby League”), entered into an agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) to form a joint venture (the “Japan Joint Venture”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 50% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the legal entity comprising the joint venture, Canada Goose Japan, K.K. (“CG Japan”), on April 4, 2022. CG Japan was established to market, distribute and sell Canada Goose products, and to operate retail stores and e-Commerce in Japan. The Japan Joint Venture includes a permanent Canada Goose retail store in Tokyo, a national e-Commerce site, as well as wholesale points of distribution across the country. Total purchase consideration for the transaction was $22.6m which comprises cash consideration of $2.6m plus deferred contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $20.0m. During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, the Company remeasured the contingent consideration resulting in an estimated fair value of $14.0m.
CG Japan’s results of operations have been consolidated with those of the Company from the date of the formation of the Japan Joint Venture. Prior to the establishment of CG Japan, the Company sold its products to the former distributor. The majority of sales historically occurred in the first and second quarters and were recorded in the Wholesale operating segment. Going forward, it is expected that CG Japan’s revenue and results of operations will be aligned to our respective operating segments and are expected to occur more in line with the seasonality of the Company's Wholesale and DTC segments, which is expected to have an impact on the timing of the revenue we recognize in Japan.
In connection with the business combination, the Joint Venture Agreement includes a put option that allows the non-controlling shareholder to sell its 50% interest to the Company within six months after certain circumstances constituting a "put option trigger" event occurs. If the put option is not exercised during such six-month period the put option will expire. The Company established a financial liability of $22.8m as at January 1, 2023 for the put option in respect of the non-controlling interests.

Revenue
Revenue for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 was $923.8m, an increase of $48.5m or 5.5% from $875.3m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. Revenue generated from our DTC channel represented 62.8% of total revenue for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to 63.4% for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. On a constant currency1 basis, revenue increased by 6.0% for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The strength of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar in the period was outweighed by depreciation of the pound sterling and euro relative to the Canadian dollar.

DTC
Revenue from our DTC segment for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 was $579.8m compared to $554.8m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $25.0m or 4.5% was attributable largely to continued retail expansion and comparative period new store openings operating for the full duration of the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. We saw a shift back to retail with consumers returning to in-person shopping and shifting away from e-Commerce. DTC comparable sales growth2 experienced a decline of 5.2%, which included positive comparable sales growth in all geographies excluding Mainland China. During the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, we were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions in the Asia Pacific region particularly in Mainland China, which resulted in store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic, which were not prevalent in the comparative period.

Wholesale
Revenue from our Wholesale segment for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 was $328.3m compared to $313.6m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $14.7m or 4.7% was attributable to an increase in order value globally relative to the comparative period.
Other
Revenue from our Other segment for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 was $15.7m compared to $6.9m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $8.8m or 127.5% was attributable to increased product availability to employees.

As described above, to explain the impact of the additional week in fiscal 2022 and to facilitate comparison of the results for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, the below presents revenue excluding the Additional Week, to more closely align calendar periods and the number of trading days therein.

Revenue increased across all regions except for Asia Pacific during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to the comparative period. Canada regained momentum within existing stores. Revenue growth in the United States and EMEA was attributable to retail expansion, regained momentum within existing stores, and an increase in order book value within the Wholesale segment. Asia Pacific results were impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions particularly in Mainland China, resulting in store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic. This was partially offset by increased revenue growth in the Japanese market due to retail expansion through the Japan Joint Venture.
Gross Profit
Gross profit and gross margin for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 were $624.9m and 67.6%, respectively, compared to $579.5m and 66.2%, respectively, for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase in gross profit of $45.4m was attributable to higher revenue as noted above and gross margin expansion. Gross margin in the current period has been favourably impacted by pricing and lower product costs largely driven by normalized efficiencies in our manufacturing facilities, partially offset by unfavourable product mix from a lower proportion of parka sales and the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture.

The increase of $27.6m in gross profit was attributable to higher revenues as noted above and gross margin expansion. The gross margin was 77.5% for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, an increase of 150 bps compared to 76.0% in the comparative period. During the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, gross margin was favourably impacted by pricing (+190 bps) and lower product costs (+60 bps) largely driven by normalized efficiencies in our manufacturing facilities, partially offset by the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture (-50 bps) and unfavourable product mix (-30 bps) from a lower proportion of parka sales.
Wholesale
Gross profit in our Wholesale segment was $169.5m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $154.6m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase in gross profit of $14.9m was attributable to higher revenues. The gross margin was 51.6% for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, an increase of 230 bps compared to 49.3% in the comparative period. During the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, gross margin benefited from pricing (+270 bps), channel mix (+140 bps) from the conversion of Japan distributor sales to regular wholesale arrangements due to the now consolidated Japan Joint Venture and lower product costs (+110 bps) largely driven by normalized efficiencies in our manufacturing facilities, partially offset by the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture (-130 bps), inventory adjustments (-70 bps), higher freight and duty costs (-60 bps) and unfavourable product mix (-30 bps) from a lower proportion of parka sales.
Other
Gross profit in our Other segment was $6.0m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $3.1m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase in gross profit is driven by the increase in employee sales.

SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses were $506.6m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $423.7m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $82.9m or 19.6% was attributable to $18.2m of unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Term Loan Facility and working capital, net of hedge impacts, $15.9m in higher costs related to opening new stores and running stores at full capacity except in Mainland China, $8.5m of investment in technology for business growth, $8.3m of incremental personnel costs, $5.4m of incremental marketing investment to assist with brand awareness and support our growth, and $3.4m investment in strategic initiatives including digital and other costs associated with the Japan Joint Venture.

DTC
SG&A expenses in our DTC segment for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 were $184.0m, or 31.7% of segment revenue, compared to $161.6m, or 29.1% of segment revenue, for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $22.4m or 13.9% was due to $15.9m of costs associated with the expansion of the retail network as well as running stores at full capacity except for Mainland China. Pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $5.6m and $3.2m, respectively, were recognized in the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $3.1m and $0.2m, respectively, in the comparative period.
Wholesale
SG&A expenses in our Wholesale segment for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 were $51.0m, or 15.5% of segment revenue, compared to $41.6m or 13.3% of segment revenue, for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $9.4m or 22.6% was attributable to $6.8m of higher freight and warehouse costs and $3.6m of higher other operating costs, partially offset by $0.8m of unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to working capital in the comparative period.

Other
SG&A expenses in our Other segment, which include unallocated corporate expenses, were $271.6m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $220.5m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $51.1m or 23.2% was attributable to $18.2m of unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Term Loan Facility and working capital, net of hedge impacts. The increase was also attributable to $8.5m of investment in information technology to support business growth, $8.3m of incremental personnel costs driven by headcount, $5.4m of incremental investment in marketing, $2.8m of donations to the United Nations for Ukrainian refugees, and $3.4m of higher fees in support of strategic activities and costs associated with the Japan Joint Venture.
Operating Income and Margin
Operating income and operating margin were $118.3m and 12.8% for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $155.8m and 17.8% for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in operating income of $37.5m and operating margin of (500) bps were attributable to higher operating costs noted above, partially offset by higher gross profit and margin of +140 bps.

The increase in operating income of $5.2m was attributable to improved sales, partially offset by costs associated with the expansion of the retail network. The decrease in operating margin of (110) bps was attributable to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross margin. Pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $5.6m and $3.2m, respectively, were recognized in the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $3.1m and $0.2m, respectively, in the comparative period.
Wholesale
Wholesale segment operating income and operating margin were $118.5m and 36.1% for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $113.0m and 36.0% for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase in operating income of $5.5m and operating margin of 10 bps were attributable to a higher segment revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, particularly freight, as discussed above.

Other
Other segment operating loss was $(265.6)m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $(217.4)m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The increase in operating loss of $(48.2)m was attributable to higher SG&A expenses as discussed above.
Net Interest, Finance and Other Costs
Net interest, finance and other costs were $20.2m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $32.0m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The decrease of $11.8m and 36.9% was attributable to the net gain of $4.7m on the fair value remeasurement on the contingent consideration (liability reduction of $6.0m, including translation gains of $0.1m) and put option liability (liability increase of $1.6m, including translation losses of $0.4m) related to the Joint Venture Agreement. In the comparative period, we incurred accelerated amortization costs of $9.5m related to the refinancing of our Term Loan Facility. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest charges of $1.0m due to higher gross borrowings during the period on our facilities from the comparative period.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $19.2m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $20.1m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. For the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the effective and statutory tax rates were 19.6% and 25.3%, respectively, compared to 16.2% and 25.4% for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, 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 1, 2023 was $78.9m compared to $103.7m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022, driven by the factors described above.

1Constant currency revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
For the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, revenue of $576.7m was below our previous outlook of between $580.0m and $660.0m. This was primarily due to the impact of worse than expected COVID disruptions in Mainland China throughout most of the third quarter. COVID-19 restrictions worsened in November, and this was exacerbated by a wave of infections following the sudden ease of restrictions in early December which suppressed consumer traffic and reduced store operating hours due to staff illness. We estimate the impact was $60.0m in lost revenue. In North America, particularly in the United States, we noted foot traffic in line with our expectations, but lower conversion in our DTC network in light of a challenging macro-economic backdrop and estimate lost revenue of $25.0m as a result.
Impact of Incremental Week on Fiscal 2022 Revenue

DTC
Revenue from our DTC segment was $450.2m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $443.7m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $6.5m or 1.5% was attributable largely to continued retail store expansion. During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, we opened six permanent stores compared to three permanent stores during the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 and ended the period with 51 permanent stores compared to 41 permanent stores at the end of the comparative quarter. During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, we were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Mainland China, which resulted in temporary store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic. In the comparative quarter, similar restrictions were experienced in Canada and EMEA, however trading days lost to temporary store closures due to COVID-19 did not materially impact results. DTC comparable sales growth2 was a decline of 6.0%, which included positive comparable sales growth in all geographies excluding Mainland China. Operating performance was uneven with a gradually improving profile throughout the quarter, particularly in Mainland China but was partially mitigated with positive DTC comparable sales growth in December. This reflects a continuing trend of returning back to in-person shopping and shift away from e-Commerce, across all geographies.
2DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
Wholesale
Revenue from our Wholesale segment was $114.4m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $138.4m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease of $24.0m or (17.3)% was expected and was attributable to the timing of shipments to our wholesale partners as a higher volume of shipments were fulfilled in the second quarter of the current year compared to the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.
Other
Revenue from our Other segment was $12.1m, principally from sales to employees, for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $4.0m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022.

2Constant currency revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of these measures.
Revenue increased in the United States for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to the comparative quarter due to growth in the DTC segment and comparative quarter store openings running for the full duration of the quarter in fiscal 2023. Revenue decreased in Canada and EMEA due to earlier timing for Wholesale shipments and lower e-Commerce performance, partially offset by increased sales within existing stores. Asia Pacific results, particularly Mainland China were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions resulting in store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic. Partially offsetting these negative impacts was increased revenue in the Japanese market within DTC and Wholesale as a result of the Japan Joint Venture.
Gross Profit
Gross profit and gross margin for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 were $416.4m and 72.2%, respectively, compared to $413.8m and 70.6%, respectively, for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase in gross profit of $2.6m was attributable to gross margin expansion partially offset by lower revenue. Gross margin in the current quarter was favourably impacted by pricing, partially offset by higher duty costs, unfavourable product mix from a lower proportion of parka sales and the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture.

DTC
Gross profit in our DTC segment was $351.1m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $342.5m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $8.6m in gross profit was attributable to higher revenues as noted above and gross margin expansion. The gross margin was 78.0% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, an increase of 80 bps compared to 77.2% in the comparative quarter. During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, gross margin was primarily impacted by pricing (+190 bps), partially offset by the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture (-50 bps) and unfavourable product mix (-30 bps) from a lower proportion of parka sales.
Wholesale
Gross profit in our Wholesale segment was $60.6m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $69.5m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease of $8.9m in gross profit was attributable to lower revenues partially offset by gross margin expansion. The gross margin was 53.0% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, an increase of 280 bps compared to 50.2% in the comparative quarter. During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, gross margin was favourably impacted by pricing (+270 bps), channel mix (+80 bps) from the conversion of Japan distributor sales to regular wholesale arrangements due to the consolidated Japan Joint Venture and favourable product mix (+70 bps) from the increased sale of higher margin parkas, partially offset by higher duty costs (-90 bps) and the impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture (-40 bps).
Other
Gross profit in our Other segment was $4.7m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $1.8m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase in gross profit is driven by the increase in employee sales.

SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses were $222.1m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $208.8m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $13.3m or 6.4% was attributable to $7.1m of unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Term Loan Facility and working capital, net of hedge impacts, $5.1m of investment in information technology for business growth, $3.5m in higher costs related to opening new stores and running stores at full capacity except Mainland China, and $2.1m of higher fees in support of strategic activities and costs associated with the Japan Joint Venture. The increase was partially offset by $6.1m from the timing of investment in marketing to assist with brand awareness and support our growth, which occurred earlier in the year compared to fiscal 2022.

DTC
SG&A expenses in our DTC segment for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 were $92.3m, or 20.5% of segment revenue, compared to $90.1m, or 20.3% of segment revenue, for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $2.2m or 2.4% was primarily due to $3.5m of costs associated with the expansion of the retail network as well as running stores at full capacity except for Mainland China. The increase was partially offset by $1.0m of lower costs to related to e-Commerce infrastructure. Pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $2.0m and $0.8m, respectively, were recognized in the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $1.0m and $nil, respectively, in the comparative quarter.
Wholesale
SG&A expenses in our Wholesale segment for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 were $21.8m, or 19.1% of segment revenue, compared to $19.7m, or 14.2% of segment revenue, for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $2.1m or 10.7% was attributable to $2.2m of incremental freight and warehouse costs driven by higher rates and $1.0m of higher other operating costs, partially offset by $1.2m of lower agency fees due to earlier shipments in the preceding quarter.

Other
SG&A expenses in our Other segment, which include unallocated corporate expenses, were $108.0m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $99.0m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase of $9.0m or 9.1% was attributable to $7.1m of unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Term Loan Facility and working capital, net of hedge impacts, $5.1m of investment in technology to support business growth, $2.8m donations to the United Nations for Ukrainian refugees, and $2.1m of higher fees in support of strategic activities and costs associated with the Japan Joint Venture. The increase was partially offset by $6.1m of lower marketing activities, which occurred earlier in the year compared to fiscal 2022, and $2.0m of reduced personnel costs driven by lower performance-based compensation.
Operating Income and Margin
Operating income and operating margin were $194.3m and 33.7% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $205.0m and 35.0% for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in operating income of $10.7m and decrease in operating margin of 130 bps were attributable to higher operating costs noted above, partially offset by higher gross profit and margin of +160 bps.

The increase in operating income of $6.4m and increase in operating margin of 60 bps were attributable to improved sales, partially offset by costs associated with the expansion of the retail network. Pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $2.0m and $0.8m, respectively, were recognized in the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to pre-store opening costs and COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs of $1.0m and $nil, respectively, in the comparative quarter.
Wholesale
Wholesale segment operating income and operating margin were $38.8m and 33.9% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $49.8m and 36.0% for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in operating income of $11.0m was attributable to lower segment revenue and gross profit, as well as higher SG&A expenses as discussed above.

Other
Other segment operating loss was $(103.3)m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $(97.2)m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase in operating loss of $6.1m was attributable to higher SG&A expenses as discussed above.
Net Interest, Finance and Other Costs
Net interest, finance and other costs were $6.0m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $7.6m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease of $1.6m and 21.1% was attributable to the gain of $2.7m on the fair value remeasurement on the contingent consideration (liability reduction of $1.0m, including translation losses of $1.2m) and put option (liability increase of $1.3m, including translation losses of $1.8m) related to the Joint Venture Agreement. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest charges of $0.6m due to higher gross borrowings during the quarter on our facilities from the comparative quarter.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $50.8m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $46.1m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. For the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, the effective and statutory tax rates were 27.0% and 25.3%, respectively, compared to 23.4% and 25.4% for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022, respectively. Given our global operations, the quarter to date 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 third quarter ended January 1, 2023 was $137.5m compared to $151.3m for third quarter ended January 2, 2022, 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;
•the formation of the Japan Joint Venture on April 4, 2022;
•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;
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 28 of 56 | |||||||
•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, where average unit retail pricing is generally higher;
•fluctuation of foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar; and
•the extra week in fiscal 2022 which has been added to the third quarter, as fiscal 2022 was our first 53-week year.
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;
•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 Japan Joint Venture and 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.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER SPECIFIED FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses certain financial measures that are “non-IFRS financial measures”, including adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, constant currency revenue, net debt, net working capital, and free operating cash flow, certain financial measures that are “non-IFRS ratios”, including adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to shareholders of the Company, net debt leverage, and net working capital turnover, as well as DTC comparable sales growth which is a supplementary financial measure, in each case in this document and other documents. 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 and its financial position. 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.

Adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company, and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to shareholders of the Company
These 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 otherwise 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 1, 2023, 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 1, 2023, 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 sections 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 cash less total borrowings and lease liabilities, 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 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 31 of 56 | |||||||
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.
DTC comparable sales growth
DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure defined as sales on a constant currency basis from e-Commerce sites and stores which have been operating for one full year (12 successive fiscal months). The measure excludes store sales from both periods for the specific trading days when the stores were closed, whether those closures occurred in the current period or the comparative period.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 32 of 56 | |||||||
The tables below reconcile net income to adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company 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.
Beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we no longer include pre-store opening costs in the reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company, as we believe these costs are a part of our operating base as we accelerate store openings. Comparable periods have been restated to reflect this change.

This was primarily due to lower than expected sales, revenue channel mix whereby wholesale and DTC revenue were replaced by other revenue, the donation to assist refugees from the War in Ukraine, higher than anticipated investment in strategic projects, and the negative impacts of foreign exchange.

As at January 1, 2023, we had $326.5m of net working capital compared to $190.1m of net working capital as at January 2, 2022. The $136.4m increase, or 71.8%, was driven by $113.9m of higher inventory levels. In line with the seasonality of our business, inventory levels increased ahead of our peak selling season during the first and second quarter, in anticipation of planned year over year growth. Ahead of the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, domestic production levels gradually returned to pre-pandemic manufacturing levels and earlier acquisition offshore production further mitigated supply chain risks. Higher inventory levels are attributable to lower-than-expected sales in the Asia Pacific region due to ongoing COVID-19 disruptions for most of fiscal 2023 year to date and inventory planning. Inventory of $27.3m was acquired through the Japan Joint Venture, and the inventory level is $25.2m as at January 1, 2023. We monitor the levels of inventory in each of our sales channels and across geographic regions and aim to align with demand that we forecast in each region. Net working capital turnover1 was 32.2% in the quarter ended January 1, 2023 and 24.4% in the comparative quarter.
As at January 1, 2023, we had $326.5m of net working capital compared to $255.4m of net working capital as at April 3, 2022.

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 Japan Facility, 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 38 of 56 | |||||||
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities were $109.3m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $174.2m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $64.9m was driven by lower net income, higher inventory levels of $31.4m, and higher income taxes paid of $13.8m.
Cash flows from operating activities were $351.0m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $358.5m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $7.5m was due to lower net income and higher accrued liabilities driven by the $12.5m liability to our designated broker under the automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) in connection with the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). These were partially offset by higher settlements of trade receivables of $33.9m due to earlier shipments to wholesale customers in the preceding quarter.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $21.4m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $24.9m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities of $3.5m was due to higher spend on capital investments for our continued retail expansion due to an increase in the number of stores in the period, offset by cash consolidated with the Japan Joint Venture.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $12.8m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $9.0m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities of $3.8m was primarily due to higher spend on capital investments driven by an increased store network.
Cash flows used in financing activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $35.3m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 compared to $217.7m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in cash flows used in financing activities of $182.4m was driven by $171.2m of higher payments for purchase of subordinate voting shares that were cancelled related to the NCIB in the comparative period as described below and higher borrowings on the Mainland China Facilities of $15.7m and the Japan Facility of $13.1m. The decrease was partially offset by increased principal payments of $11.7m on lease liabilities arising from the store network expansion.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $95.2m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 compared to $45.0m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $50.2m was driven by repayments on the Revolving Facility of $55.9m, as well as $5.7m and $2.7m of higher payments for the purchase of subordinate voting shares that were cancelled and held for cancellation, respectively, related to the NCIB as described below. The increase was partially offset by borrowings on the Japan Facility of $3.4m in the quarter and lower repayments on the Mainland China Facilities of $15.1m.

Free operating cash flows from the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 decreased to $43.4m from $116.5m for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022 due to lower net income, higher investment in inventory, and higher principal payments on lease liabilities.
Free operating cash flows from the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 decreased to $321.0m from $336.3m for the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 due to lower net income and higher principal paid on lease liabilities.

As at January 1, 2023, net debt was $419.2m compared to $238.1m as at January 2, 2022. The increase of $181.1m was driven by a decrease in cash of $63.4m, $46.7m increase in lease liabilities, and $32.6m increased borrowings on the Japan Facility. Net debt leverage1 as at January 1, 2023 was 1.6 times adjusted EBITDA. See “Cash Flow” section above for further details.
Net debt as at January 1, 2023 was $419.2m compared to $333.8m as at April 3, 2022. The increase in net debt of $85.4m was driven by $66.2m increase in lease liabilities, $32.6m
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 40 of 56 | |||||||
increased borrowings on the Japan Facility, and $27.4m increased borrowing on the Term Loan Facility due to foreign exchange movement. This is partially offset by an increase in cash of $56.5m.
Revolving Facility
The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“Revolving 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.
As at January 1, 2023, the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the Revolving Facility (January 2, 2022 - $nil, April 3, 2022 - $nil). As at January 1, 2023, no interest and administrative fees (January 2, 2022 - $nil, April 3, 2022 - $0.5m) remain outstanding. Deferred financing charges in the amounts of $0.6m (January 2, 2022 - $1.0m, April 3, 2022 - $0.9m) were included in other long-term liabilities. As at and during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The Company had unused borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility of $240.0m as at January 1, 2023 (January 2, 2022 - $158.4m, April 3, 2022 - $191.8m).
As at January 1, 2023, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility of $1.8m (January 2, 2022 - $4.8m, April 3, 2022 - $4.6m).
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. The Term Loan Facility has an aggregate principal amount of USD300.0m, with quarterly repayments of USD0.75m on the principal amount and a maturity date of October 7, 2027. Moreover, the Term Loan Facility has an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, payable quarterly in arrears and LIBOR may not be less than 0.75%. The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.9m related to the Term Loan Facility which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term to maturity.
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 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 1, 2023, 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 1, 2023, we had $398.2m (USD294.0m) aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility (April 3, 2022 - $370.8m). The difference in amounts in these periods is the result of the change in the CAD:USD exchange rate. As at January 2, 2022, prior to the Refinancing Amendment, the aggregate principal amount owing was $375.5m.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
Share capital transactions for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023
During the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, the Company has renewed its NCIB in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company is authorized to make purchases under such NCIB from November 22, 2022 to November 21, 2023, 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 5,421,685 subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares as at November 10, 2022. 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, and will conform to their regulations. Under the NCIB, the Company is allowed to repurchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 86,637 subordinate voting shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume, as calculated per the TSX rules for the six-month period starting on May 1, 2022 and ending on October 31, 2022. A copy of the Company's notice of intention to commence a NCIB 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.
In connection with the NCIB, the Company also entered an ASPP under which a designated broker may purchase subordinate voting shares under the NCIB during the regularly scheduled quarterly trading blackout periods of the Company. 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 purchased the maximum value of subordinate voting shares pursuant to the ASPP or upon the date of expiry of the NCIB.
During the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company purchased 745,381 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $17.9m, of which $1.8m was payable to the designated broker as at the period end. The amount to purchase the subordinate voting shares was charged to share capital, with the remaining $16.2m charged to retained earnings. Of the 745,381 subordinate voting shares purchased, 414,201 were purchased under the ASPP for total cash consideration of $10.0m.
A liability representing the maximum amount that the Company could be required to pay the designated broker under the ASPP was $12.5m as at January 1, 2023. The amount was charged to contributed surplus. Subsequent to the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company purchased an additional 36,400 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $0.9m under the ASPP, and the remaining liability to the designated broker is $nil.
Share capital transactions for the three quarters ended January 2, 2022
The Company previously maintained another NCIB in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company was authorized to make purchases from August 20, 2021 to August 19, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. The Board of Directors of the Company had 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 were made during the validity of such NCIB by means of open market transactions on the TSX, the NYSE and one Canadian alternative trading system.

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.
Capital Management
The Company manages its capital and capital structure, with the objectives of safeguarding sufficient net working capital1 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. We 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.

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, a subsidiary of 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 EUR20.0m 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 1, 2023.
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 of Canada Goose Inc. 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 issuing bank for amounts drawn on issued letters of guarantees. At January 1, 2023, the Company had $6.4m outstanding.
In addition, a subsidiary of the Company in Mainland China entered into letters of guarantee and as at January 1, 2023 the amount outstanding was $5.4m. Amounts will be used to support retail operations of such subsidiaries through letters of guarantee, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, counter guarantees, counter standby letters of credit, or similar credits.
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 January 26, 2023, there were 53,555,933 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding, and 51,004,076 multiple voting shares issued and outstanding.
As at January 26, 2023, there were 4,082,518 options and 322,168 restricted share units outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, of which 1,422,205 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 45 of 56 | |||||||
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 trade 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 1, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $49.5m (January 2, 2022 - $36.4m, April 3, 2022 - $8.1m) were insured subject to the policy cap. Complementary to the third party insurance, the Company establishes payment terms with customers to mitigate credit risk and continues to closely monitor its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure.
Within CG Japan, the Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 45% of trade accounts receivable for certain designated customers for a maximum of JPY450.0m per annum subject to a deductible of 10% and applicable only to accounts with receivables over JPY100k. As at January 1, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $4.1m (JPY392.2m) were insured subject to the policy cap.
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 EUR20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice.
For the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company received total cash proceeds from the sale of trade accounts receivable with carrying values of $37.3m which were derecognized from the Company's statement of financial position (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $24.9m). Fees of $0.2m were incurred during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - less than $0.1m) and included in net interest, finance and other costs in the interim statements of income. As at January 1, 2023, the outstanding amount of trade accounts receivable derecognized from the Company’s statement of financial position, but which the Company continued to service, was $8.5m (January 2, 2022 - $10.3m, April 3, 2022 - $2.0m).
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, Hong Kong dollars, and since the establishment of the Japan Joint Venture on April 4, 2022, Japanese yen. 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
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 46 of 56 | |||||||
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 and euro denominated purchases as a result of changes in U.S. dollar or euro exchange rates. A depreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar or euro 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 or euro 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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending April 2, 2023. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company partially initiated the operating hedge program for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
The Company recognized the following unrealized losses in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income:

For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, unrealized gains of $6.2m and $4.3m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - unrealized gains of $0.2m and $0.4m, respectively) on forward exchange contracts that were not treated as hedges were recognized in SG&A expenses in the interim statements of income.
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding as at January 1, 2023 related to operating cash flows were:

Foreign exchange risk on borrowings
Amounts available for borrowing under the Term Loan Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars. Based on our outstanding balances of $398.2m (USD294.0m) under the Term Loan Facility as at January 1, 2023, 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 $2.9m solely as a result of that exchange rate fluctuation’s effect on the debt.
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 USD270.0m as measured on the trade date, to fix the foreign exchange risk on a portion of the Term Loan Facility.

For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, an unrealized loss of $4.6m and an unrealized gain of $18.8m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - unrealized gains of $0.3m and $0.4m, 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 interim statements of income.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on the borrowings outstanding under the Mainland China Facilities, Japan Facility, and the Term Loan Facility, which currently bear interest rates at 3.85%, 0.38%, and 8.23%, respectively.
Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate during the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 would have increased interest expense on the Mainland China Facilities and the Term Loan Facility by $0.1m and $2.9m, respectively (three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $0.1m and $2.8m, respectively). Correspondingly, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate would have increased interest expense on our Japan Facility by $0.2m.
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 USD270.0m. The swaps terminate on December 31, 2025. Subsequent to the repricing amendment of the Term Loan Facility, 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
The Company enters into transactions from time to time with its principal shareholders and organizations affiliated with members of the Board of Directors by incurring expenses for business services. During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company incurred expenses with related parties of $0.3m and $0.8m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $0.8m and $1.4m, respectively) from companies related to certain shareholders. Balances owing to related parties as at January 1, 2023 were $0.4m (January 2, 2022 - $0.7m, April 3, 2022 - $0.3m).
A lease liability due to the controlling shareholder of the acquired Baffin Inc. business (the "Baffin Vendor") for leased premises was $3.3m as at January 1, 2023 (January 2, 2022 - $4.0m, April 3, 2022 - $3.8m). During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, 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 totalling $0.4m and $1.1m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 2, 2022 - $0.4m and $1.1m, respectively). No amounts were owing to Baffin entities as at January 1, 2023, January 2, 2022, and April 3, 2022.
Lease liabilities due to the non-controlling shareholder of the Japan Joint Venture, Sazaby League, for leased premises, was $2.8m as at January 1, 2023. During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company incurred principal and interest on lease liabilities, royalty fees, and other operating costs to Sazaby League totalling $1.0m and $3.5m, respectively. Balances owing to Sazaby League as at January 1, 2023 were $0.6m.
Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, during the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 the Company sold inventory of $0.7m and $11.9m, respectively, to Sazaby League for repurchase by the Japan Joint Venture for inventory fulfillment. There was no outstanding receivable from Sazaby League as at January 1, 2023. During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture repurchased $0.3m and $11.5m, respectively, of inventory from Sazaby League and the Japan Joint Venture recognized a payable to Sazaby League of less than $0.1m as at January 1, 2023 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These transactions were measured based on pricing established through the Joint Venture Agreement at market terms and were not recognized as sales transactions.
During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture sold inventory of $1.1m and $1.2m, respectively, to companies wholly owned by Sazaby League. As at January 1, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture recognized a trade receivable of $0.7m from these companies.

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.
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 obsolescence, shrinkage, 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.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 51 of 56 | |||||||
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.
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, earnings, working capital, and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the Board of Directors of the Company. 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
Summary of accounting policies adopted
Non-controlling interest
In connection with the Japan Joint Venture, non-controlling interest accounting policy was adopted. Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with equity owners of the Company. Changes in the Company's ownership interest of CG Japan are accounted for as equity transactions.
| Canada Goose Holdings Inc. | Page 52 of 56 | |||||||
Financial instruments
In connection with the Japan Joint Venture, the Company established a financial liability for the put option in respect of non-controlling interests based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid to the non-controlling shareholder if exercised. Subsequently, the put option liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the present value of the amount that could be required to be paid at each reporting date, with fluctuations being recorded within the statement of loss, until it is exercised or expires. The put option is measured at amortized cost and the fair value of the put option is classified as Level 3 within IFRS 13, Fair value measurement.
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 policies 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. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amendment.
Standards issued and adopted
Configuration or Customization Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) finalized an agenda decision within the scope of IAS 38, Intangible Assets 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 expensed as incurred.
The adoption of the agenda decision was recognized as a change in accounting policy in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8"). The Company amended the existing accounting policies related to implementation costs on SaaS arrangements as at April 1, 2019. The Company assessed the impact of the interpretation and identified $25.4m of costs recognized as intangible assets within ERP and computer software related to SaaS arrangements that were no longer eligible for capitalization and

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
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 term loan facility at a net book value of $397.5m, is 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 1, 2023. 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 Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 1, 2023 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 1, 2023 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 1, 2023.
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 Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Highlights1:
•Reported revenue of $576.7m, down 1.6% from the prior year quarter largely due to timing of Wholesale shipments and lower revenue in Mainland China related to COVID-19 disruptions
•Increased gross margin to 72.2%, up 160 basis points with gross margin improvement in all product categories
•Generated net income of $137.5m, adjusted net income of $134.5m2 and adjusted EBIT of $197.1m2
TORONTO, ON (February 2, 2023) - Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GOOS, TSX:GOOS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 (“Q3 2023” or “Q3 ended January 1, 2023”). All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless indicated.
"We were pleased with accelerating growth in Mainland China toward the end of the quarter and continue to see promising signs of a strong local rebound to date,” said Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO. “However, for most of the third quarter which includes December, our busiest month of the year, our performance was impacted by worse than expected COVID-19 related disruptions in Mainland China. This, combined with recent slowing momentum in North America set against a tough macro-economic backdrop, has led us to revise annual guidance. We believe these challenges are temporary and our brand strength and strategy position us well to drive profitable growth – which we look forward to discussing at our upcoming Investor Day.”

Revenue
Q3 2023 revenue declined 1.6% on a reported basis and 2.2% on a constant currency revenue basis3.
DTC revenue grew 1.5% largely due to continued retail store expansion, with 51 permanent stores at the end of Q3 2023 compared to 41 permanent stores at the end of the comparative quarter. DTC comparable sales5 declined 6.0%, which included positive comparable sales growth in all geographies excluding Mainland China. We were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Mainland China, which resulted in temporary store closures, reduced hours, and significantly lower retail traffic.
Wholesale revenue declined 17.3%. The decline was attributable to earlier shipments in Q2 2023.

Fiscal 2023 is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2022, which ended April 3, 2022, was the first 53-week fiscal year, and the additional week was added to the third quarter ended January 2, 2022, which was during our peak season. In order to explain the impact of the additional week in fiscal 2022, and to facilitate comparison with the results for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 over a similar calendar period, the below presents revenue excluding the first week at the beginning of the third quarter ended January 2, 2022 (“Incremental Week”) to more closely align calendar periods and the numbers of trading days.
Using the same trading weeks as the comparative quarter in both periods, total revenue and DTC revenue grew 2.5% and 4.6% respectively. Wholesale revenue declined 11.0% using the same trading weeks as the comparative quarter.

Revenue by Geography5
Revenue in the United States grew 11.3% primarily driven by higher revenues from existing stores as well as continued retail expansion. Revenue decreased in Canada and EMEA due to earlier timing for Wholesale shipments and lower e-Commerce performance, partially offset by increased sales within existing stores. APAC declined due to Mainland China COVID-19 related disruptions, partly offset by increased revenue as a result of the Japan Joint Venture.

Gross profit and gross margin
Gross6profit increased $2.6m primarily due to gross margin expansion. Gross margin was favourably impacted by pricing, partially offset by higher duty costs, product mix from a lower proportion of parka sales and the unfavourable impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Japan Joint Venture.
Operating income and adjusted EBIT
Operating income declined largely due to unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Company’s senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and working capital, net of hedge impacts, investment in information technology for business growth, higher costs related to opening new stores and running stores at full capacity except Mainland China, and higher fees in support of strategic activities and costs associated with the Japan Joint Venture. The decrease was partially offset from the higher gross profit and the timing of investment in marketing to assist with brand awareness and support our growth, which occurred earlier in the year compared to fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBIT decreased primarily due to higher costs related to investment in technology, opening new stores and running stores at full capacity except Mainland China, foreign exchange fluctuations net of hedge impacts related to working capital partially offset by higher gross profit and the timing of marketing spend which occurred earlier in the year compared to fiscal 2022.
Net income and adjusted net income
Net income and adjusted net income was lower as compared to Q3 2022 primarily as a result of the factors described above impacting operating income and adjusted EBIT as well as higher income tax expense.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash was $344.2m as at Q3 ended January 1, 2023, compared to $407.6m as at Q3 ended January 2, 2022, largely due to a greater investment in working capital. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 745,381 subordinate voting shares for a total cash consideration of $17.9m.
Inventory was $482.0m as at Q3 ended January 1, 2023, compared to $368.1m as at Q3 ended January 2, 2022. Higher inventory levels are attributable to lower-than-expected sales in the Asia Pacific region due to ongoing COVID-19 disruptions for most of fiscal 2023 year to date and inventory planning. Inventory of $27.3m was acquired through the Japan Joint Venture, and the inventory level is $25.2m as at January 1, 2023. We monitor the levels of inventory in each of our sales channels and across geographic regions and aim to align with demand that we forecast in each region.

Full Year Fiscal 2023 Outlook107
For fiscal 2023, the Company has lowered its overall guidance ranges from the previous outlook due to worse than expected COVID-19 related disruptions for most of Q3 2023 in Mainland China and slowing momentum in North America against a challenging macro-economic environment. The Company remains relentlessly focused on capitalizing on its growth opportunities and driving further brand heat while also tightly controlling all non-strategic spend in an effort to maximize profitable growth.
The Company currently expects:
•Total revenue $1.175Bn to $1.195Bn compared to previous guidance of $1.200Bn to $1.300Bn provided in Q2 2023 earnings release.
•Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $167m to $182m, representing a margin of 14.2% to 15.3% compared to previous guidance of non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $215m to $255m, representing a margin of 17.9% to 19.6%.
•Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $0.92 to $1.03 compared to previous guidance of non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $1.31 to $1.62.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company currently expects:
•Total revenue $251m to $271m.
•Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT $19m to $35m.
•Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share $0.00 to $0.12.
This outlook is based on a number of assumptions, including the following:
•Improved traffic and lower levels of operating disruptions globally, including mandatory closures, in both Company and partner operated retail stores, relative to fiscal 2022.
•There will be improved strength in Mainland China across the Company’s DTC channels and the macro-economic environment will not materially worsen in any of the Company’s geographies.
•The Company expects approximately $45m to $50m in total revenue in fiscal 2023 from the Japan Joint Venture compared to previous assumption of $60m to $65m in light of a slower than expected revenue build in new stores.
•DTC revenue is expected to be in high 60s as a percentage of total revenue, compared to previous assumption of 70% to 73% of total revenue with a DTC comparable sales decline in the low single digits compared to the previous assumption of a decline in the low-single digits at the lower end of the range to growth of high-single digits at the top end of the range.
•Wholesale revenue growth of 6%.
•Gross margin in the high 60s as a percentage of total revenue.
•Q4 fiscal 2023 selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses used in the calculation of adjusted EBIT in the low 50s as a percentage of revenue.
•Effective tax rate in the mid 20s as a percentage of income before taxes for fiscal 2023 compared to the previous assumption in the low 20s.
•Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 104.8m for fiscal 2023 compared to the previous assumption of 105.8m as the new assumption incorporates share buyback activity.
710The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for non-IFRS adjusted EBIT and non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable IFRS measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals in respect of certain one-time items (b) the impact of foreign currency exchange and (c) non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control and as a result it is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with IFRS, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures included in its fiscal 2023 guidance.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures
This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income and constant currency revenue and certain non-IFRS ratios such as, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to the shareholders of the Company. 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” and, in the case of constant currency revenue, under “Revenue”.
This press release also includes DTC comparable sales growth which is a supplementary financial measure defined as sales on a constant currency basis from e-Commerce sites and stores which have been operating for one full year (12 successive fiscal months). The measure excludes store sales from both periods for the specific trading days when the stores were closed, whether those closures occurred in the current period or the comparative period.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
The tables below reconcile net income to adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company 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.
Beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we no longer include pre-store opening costs in the reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company, as we believe these costs are a part of our operating base as we accelerate new store openings. Comparable periods have been restated to reflect this change.

For the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, adjusted EBIT was $197.1m representing a margin of 34.2% which was below our previous outlook of $220.0m to $250.0m and an adjusted EBIT margin of 37.9% to 38.6%. This was primarily due to lower than expected sales, revenue channel mix whereby wholesale and DTC revenue were replaced by other revenue, the donation to assist refugees from the War in Ukraine, higher than anticipated investment in strategic projects, and the negative impacts of foreign exchange.

For the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to the shareholders of the Company was $1.27 which was below our previous outlook of $1.47 to $1.72. This is primarily due to lower adjusted EBIT as noted above.
