1. Description of Business
Ralph Lauren Corporation ("RLC") is a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of luxury lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, footwear & accessories, fragrances, home, and hospitality. RLC's long-standing reputation and distinctive image have been developed across a wide range of products, brands, distribution channels, and international markets. RLC's brand names include Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Collection, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Double RL, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lauren Ralph Lauren, RLX Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren Children, and Chaps, among others. RLC and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the "Company," "we," "us," "our," and "ourselves," unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Company diversifies its business by geography (North America, Europe, and Asia, among other regions) and channel of distribution (retail, wholesale, and licensing). This allows the Company to maintain a dynamic balance as its operating results do not depend solely on the performance of any single geographic area or channel of distribution. The Company sells directly to consumers through its integrated retail channel, which includes its retail stores, concession-based shop-within-shops, and digital commerce operations around the world. The Company's wholesale sales are made principally to major department stores, specialty stores, and third-party digital partners around the world, as well as to certain third-party-owned stores to which the Company has licensed the right to operate in defined geographic territories using its trademarks. In addition, the Company licenses to third parties for specified periods and geographies the right to access its various trademarks in connection with the licensees' manufacture and sale of designated products, such as certain apparel categories, eyewear, fragrances, and home furnishings.
The Company organizes its business into the following three reportable segments: North America, Europe, and Asia. In addition to these reportable segments, the Company also has other non-reportable segments. See Note 16 for further discussion of the Company's segment reporting structure.
2. Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") and the notes thereto have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2026 (the "Fiscal 2026 10-K").

Fiscal Periods
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, fiscal year 2027 will end on April 3, 2027 and will be a 53-week period ("Fiscal 2027"). Fiscal year 2026 ended on March 28, 2026 and was a 52-week period ("Fiscal 2026"). The first quarter of Fiscal 2027 ended on June 27, 2026 and was a 13-week period. The first quarter of Fiscal 2026 ended on June 28, 2025 and was also a 13-week period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include reserves for customer bad debt, customer returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances; the realizability of inventory; reserves for litigation and other contingencies; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; fair value measurements; accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions; valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related forfeiture rates; and reserves for restructuring activity, among others.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue across all channels of the business when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to its customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized considers terms of sale that create variability in the amount of consideration that the Company ultimately expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the products or services, and is subject to an overall constraint that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods. Sales and other related taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue.
Revenue from the Company's retail business is recognized when the customer takes physical possession of the products, which occurs either at the point of sale for merchandise purchased at the Company's own retail stores and shop-within-shop locations, or upon receipt of shipment for merchandise ordered through its direct-to-consumer digital commerce sites. Such revenues are recorded net of estimated returns based on historical trends. Payment is due at the point of sale.
8 | ||||||||
RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Gift cards purchased by customers are recorded as a liability until they are redeemed for products sold by the Company's retail business, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company estimates and recognizes revenue for gift card balances not expected to ever be redeemed (referred to as "breakage") to the extent that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property. Such estimates are based upon historical redemption trends, with breakage income recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual customer redemptions.
Revenue from the Company's wholesale business is generally recognized upon shipment of products, at which point title passes and risk of loss is transferred to the customer. In certain arrangements where the Company retains the risk of loss during shipment, revenue is recognized upon receipt of products by the customer. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimates of returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances. Returns and allowances require pre-approval from management and discounts are based on trade terms. Estimates for end-of-season markdowns are based on historical trends, actual and forecasted seasonal results, an evaluation of current economic and market conditions, retailer performance, and, in certain cases, contractual terms. Estimates for operational chargebacks are based on actual customer notifications of order fulfillment discrepancies and historical trends. The Company reviews and refines these estimates on at least a quarterly basis. The Company's historical estimates of these amounts have not differed materially from actual results.

Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted-average common shares outstanding include shares of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock. Diluted net income per common share adjusts basic net income per common share for the dilutive effects of outstanding restricted stock units ("RSUs") and any other potentially dilutive instruments and stock-based compensation awards using the treasury stock method, only for periods in which such effects are dilutive.

All earnings per share amounts are calculated using unrounded numbers.

As of both June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, there were 0.1
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to wholesale customers that satisfy certain defined credit criteria. Payment is generally due within 30 to 120 days and does not involve a significant financing component. Accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets net of certain reserves and allowances. These reserves and allowances consist of (i) reserves for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances (see the "Revenue Recognition" section above for further discussion) and (ii) an allowance for doubtful accounts.
A rollforward of activity in the Company's reserves for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances is presented as follows:

An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of accounts receivable aging, assessments of collectability based on evaluation of historical trends, the financial condition of the Company's customers and their ability to withstand prolonged periods of adverse economic conditions, and evaluation of the impact of current and forecasted economic and market conditions over the related asset's contractual life, among other factors.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company sells its wholesale merchandise primarily to major department stores, specialty stores, and third-party digital partners around the world, and extends credit based on an evaluation of each customer's financial capacity and condition, usually without requiring collateral. For the Company's wholesale business, concentration of credit risk is relatively limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. However, the Company has three key wholesale customers that generate significant sales volume. During Fiscal 2026, the Company's sales to these three customers accounted for approximately 11 % of total net revenues. Approximately 70% of sales to the Company's three largest wholesale customers were related to its North America segment and approximately 30% were related to its Europe segment. As of June 27, 2026, these three customers accounted for approximately 23 % of total gross accounts receivable.
Inventories
Supplier Finance Program
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company records derivative financial instruments on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting are either (i) offset through earnings against the changes in fair value of the related hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments or (ii) recognized in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on whether the instrument is hedging against changes in fair value or cash flows and net investments, respectively.
Each derivative instrument that qualifies for hedge accounting is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the risk associated with the related exposure. For each instrument that is designated as a hedge, the Company documents the related risk
12 | ||||||||
RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
management objective and strategy, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, and the risk exposure, as well as how hedge effectiveness will be assessed over the instrument's term. To assess hedge effectiveness at the inception of a hedging relationship, the Company generally uses regression analysis, a statistical method, to evaluate how changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are expected to offset changes in the fair value or cash flows of the related hedged item. The extent to which a hedging instrument has been and is expected to remain highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows is assessed by the Company on at least a quarterly basis.
Given its use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to such contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate such counterparty credit risk, the Company's policy is to only enter into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon an evaluation of their credit ratings and certain other factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The Company's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include ongoing review and assessment of its counterparties' creditworthiness. The Company also enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties, when possible, to further mitigate credit risk. In the event of default or termination, these arrangements allow the Company to net-settle amounts payable and receivable related to multiple derivative transactions with the same counterparty. The master netting arrangements specify a number of events of default and termination, including the failure to make timely payments.
The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments are recorded on its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis. For cash flow reporting purposes, proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a derivative instrument are classified in the same manner as the related item being hedged, primarily within cash flows from operating activities for its forward foreign exchange contracts and within cash flows from investing activities for its cross-currency swap contracts, both as discussed below.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate its risk related to exchange rate fluctuations on inventory transactions made in an entity's non-functional currency. To the extent designated as cash flow hedges, related gains or losses on such instruments are initially deferred in equity as a component of AOCI and are subsequently recognized within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations when the related inventory is sold.
If a derivative instrument is dedesignated or if hedge accounting is discontinued because the instrument is not expected to be highly effective in hedging the designated exposure, any further gains (losses) are recognized in earnings each period within other income (expense), net. Upon discontinuance of hedge accounting, the cumulative change in fair value of the derivative instrument recorded in AOCI is recognized in earnings when the related hedged item affects earnings, consistent with the hedging strategy, unless the related forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring, in which case the accumulated amount is immediately recognized within other income (expense), net.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
The Company periodically uses cross-currency swap contracts to reduce risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations on certain of its net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Changes in the fair values of such derivative instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. In assessing the effectiveness of such hedges, the Company uses a method based on changes in spot rates to measure the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on both its foreign subsidiary net investment and the related hedging instrument. Under this method, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument other than those due to changes in the spot rate are initially recorded in AOCI as a translation adjustment and are amortized into earnings as interest expense using a systematic and rational method over the instrument's term. Changes in fair value associated with the effective portion (i.e., those due to changes in the spot rate) are recorded in AOCI as a translation adjustment and are released and recognized in earnings only upon the sale or liquidation of the hedged net investment.
Undesignated Hedges
The Company uses undesignated hedges primarily to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk related to third-party and intercompany balances and exposures. Changes in the fair values of such instruments are recognized in earnings each period within other income (expense), net.

4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-06, "Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). Among its provisions, ASU 2025-06 modernizes and clarifies the threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing internal-use software costs, which occurs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding a software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance in ASU 2025-06, which can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified transition approach, becomes effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2029 ("Fiscal 2029"), with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires interim and annual tabular disclosure of disaggregated information for certain income statement expense captions. Specific expense categories required to be disclosed quantitatively include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as certain other specified expense categories currently disclosed under existing disclosure requirements. Any remaining amounts that are not separately disaggregated are required to be described qualitatively. ASU 2024-03 also requires separate disclosure of total selling expenses incurred each reporting period, along with annual disclosure of the entity's definition of what constitutes a selling expense. The annual disclosures required by ASU 2024-03 are effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year ending April 1, 2028 ("Fiscal 2028"), with required interim disclosures effective beginning in Fiscal 2029. The provisions of ASU 2024-03 are to be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. Other than the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2024-03 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Other Charges
Next Generation Transformation Project
The Company began a multi-year global project during its fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 that is expected to significantly transform the way in which it operates its business and further enable its long-term strategic pivot towards a global direct-to-consumer-oriented model (the "Next Generation Transformation project" or "NGT project"). The NGT project will span the next several years, with implementation occurring in phases by region and/or capability, and involves the redesign of certain end-to-end processes and the implementation of a suite of technology systems on a global scale. These efforts are expected to result in significant process improvements and the creation of synergies across core areas of operations, as well as financial planning and reporting, better enabling the Company to optimize inventory levels and increase the speed with which it reacts to changes in consumer demand across markets, among other benefits.
The Company continues to advance key workstreams under the NGT project including completion of global design templates that support its core enterprise resource planning platform and related processes, automation of certain distribution center operations, and the global roll-out of merchandise allocation and long-range demand planning tools.
In connection with the NGT project, the Company recorded other charges of $20.8 million and $11.0 million during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate, which is calculated by dividing each fiscal period's income tax provision by pretax income, was 23.4 % and 20.7 % during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2026 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 21
Uncertain Income Tax Benefits
The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax provision. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $176.9 million and $168.7 million as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively, and was included within the non-current liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $112.7 million and $104.4 million as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively.
Future Changes in Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to its fiscal year ended April 2, 2016.

(b)The carrying amount of the 5.000% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $5.2 million and $5.4 million as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively.
Senior Notes
In June 2020, the Company completed a registered public debt offering and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes that were due and repaid on June 15, 2022 with cash on hand, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.700 %, payable semi-annually (the "1.700% Senior Notes"), and $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2030 , which bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.950 %, payable semi-annually (the "2.950% Senior Notes"). The 1.700% Senior Notes and 2.950% Senior Notes were issued at prices equal to 99.880 % and 98.995 % of their principal amounts, respectively. The proceeds from these offerings were used for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of $475 million previously outstanding under the Company's Global Credit Facility (as defined below) on June 3, 2020 and repayment of its previously outstanding $300 million principal amount of 2.625 % unsecured senior notes that matured on August 18, 2020 .
In June 2025, the Company completed another registered public debt offering and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2032 , which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.000 %, payable semi-annually (the "5.000% Senior Notes"). The 5.000% Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.647 % of their principal amount and the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of certain of the Company's previously outstanding senior notes.
The Company has the option to redeem the 2.950% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes"), in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the redemption date plus the greater of (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the series of Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present value of remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest as set forth in the supplemental indenture governing such Senior Notes (together with the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the "Indenture"). The Indenture contains certain covenants that restrict the Company's ability, subject to specified exceptions, to incur certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with another party; or sell, lease, or convey all or substantially all of the Company's property or assets to another party. However, the Indenture does not contain any financial covenants.
Commercial Paper
The Company has a commercial paper borrowing program that allows it to issue up to $750 million of unsecured commercial paper notes through private placement using third-party broker-dealers (the "Commercial Paper Program").
Borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are supported by the Global Credit Facility (as defined below). Combined borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program and the Global Credit Facility are limited to $750 million. Commercial Paper Program borrowings may be used to support the Company's general working capital and corporate needs. Commercial paper notes have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance and rank equally in seniority with the Company's other forms of unsecured indebtedness.

Revolving Credit Facilities
Global Credit Facility
In June 2023, the Company terminated its then existing revolving credit facility and entered into a new credit facility that provides for a $750 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit through June 30, 2028 (the "Global Credit Facility") under terms and conditions substantially similar to those of the previous facility. The Global Credit Facility is available for working capital needs, capital expenditures, certain investments, general corporate purposes, and for funding acquisitions. The Global Credit Facility may also be used to support the issuance of letters of credit and maintenance of the Commercial Paper Program. Borrowings under the Global Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies, including Euros, Hong Kong Dollars, and Japanese Yen, and are guaranteed by some of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, including all of the Company's significant subsidiaries. The terms of the agreement governing the Global Credit Facility provide the Company the ability to expand its borrowing availability to $1.500 billion, subject to the agreement of one or more new or existing lenders under the facility to increase their commitments. There are no mandatory reductions in borrowing ability throughout the term of the Global Credit Facility. As of both June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, there were no 9.4 million and $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively.
Pan-Asia Credit Facilities
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries in Asia maintain uncommitted credit facilities with regional branches of JPMorgan Chase in China and South Korea (collectively, the "Pan-Asia Credit Facilities"). The Pan-Asia Credit Facilities are subject to annual renewal and may be used to fund general working capital needs of the Company's operations in their respective countries. Borrowings under the Pan-Asia Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the parent company and are granted at the sole discretion of the respective bank lenders, subject to availability of the banks' funds and satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements. The Pan-Asia Credit Facilities do not contain any financial covenants.
A summary of the Company's Pan-Asia Credit Facilities by country as of June 27, 2026 is as follows:
•China Credit Facility — provides Ralph Lauren Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. with a revolving line of credit of up to 100 million Chinese Renminbi (approximately $15 million) through April 3, 2027 , which also may be used to support bank guarantees.

10. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP prescribes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy for a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in its valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally-derived (unobservable). A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
•Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding accrued interest components:
| June 27, 2026 | March 28, 2026 | |||||||||||||
| (millions) | ||||||||||||||
Derivative assets(a) | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Derivative liabilities(a) | ||||||||||||||
(a)Based on Level 2 measurements.
The Company's derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets and are valued using pricing models that are primarily based on market observable external inputs, including spot and forward currency exchange rates, benchmark interest rates, and discount rates consistent with the instrument's tenor, and consider the impact of the Company's own credit risk, if any. Changes in counterparty credit risk are also considered in the valuation of derivative financial instruments.
To the extent the Company invests in commercial paper, such investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets using external pricing data, based on interest rates and credit ratings for similar issuances with the same remaining term as the Company's investments. To the extent the Company invests in bonds, such investments are also classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets based on quoted prices in active markets.
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and time deposits generally approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements.
The Company's debt instruments are recorded at amortized cost in its consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the Company's senior notes are estimated based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices, and with reference to comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates, credit ratings, and trading frequency, among other factors. The fair values of the Company's commercial paper notes and borrowings outstanding under its credit facilities, if any, are estimated using external pricing data, based on interest rates and credit ratings for similar issuances with the same remaining term as the Company's outstanding borrowings. Given their short-term nature, the fair values of the Company's commercial paper notes and borrowings outstanding under its credit facilities, if any, generally approximate their amortized cost carrying amounts.

Unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the Company's debt instruments do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity.
Non-financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property and equipment, and lease-related ROU assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their amortized or depreciated cost in its consolidated balance sheet. However, on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), the respective carrying amount of non-financial assets are assessed for impairment and, if ultimately considered impaired, are adjusted and written down to their fair value, as estimated based on consideration of external market participant assumptions and discounted cash flows. No
11. Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily relating to certain anticipated cash flows and the value of the reported net assets of its international operations, as well as changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt obligations attributed to changes in benchmark interest rates. Accordingly, based on its assessment thereof, the Company may use derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Risk Management Strategies
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate risks related to exchange rate fluctuations on inventory transactions made in a subsidiary entity's non-functional currency, the settlement of foreign currency-denominated balances, and the translation of certain foreign operations' net assets into U.S. Dollars. As part of its overall strategy for managing the level of exposure to such exchange rate risk, relating primarily to the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, the Australian Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Canadian Dollar, the Company generally hedges a portion of its related exposures anticipated over the next one year using forward foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of two months to one year to provide continuing coverage over the period of the respective exposure.
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
The Company periodically designates pay-fixed rate, receive fixed-rate cross-currency swap contracts as hedges of its net investment in certain of its European subsidiaries. These contracts swap U.S. Dollar-denominated fixed interest rate payments based on the contract's notional amount and the fixed rate of interest payable on certain of the Company's senior notes for Euro-denominated fixed interest rate payments, thereby economically converting a portion of its fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated senior note obligations to fixed-rate Euro-denominated obligations.

The Company is periodically involved in litigation, other legal claims, and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to its business, including, among others, credit card fraud, trademark and other intellectual property, licensing, importation and exportation of its products, taxation, unclaimed property, leases, and employee relations. The Company believes at present that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company's assessment of any current litigation or other legal claims could potentially change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known or determinations by judges, juries, or other finders of fact which are not in accord with management's evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

Dividends
The Company has generally maintained a regular quarterly cash dividend program on its common stock since 2003.
On May 14, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the Company's quarterly cash dividend paid on its common stock from $0.9125 to $1.00 per share.

15. Stock-based Compensation
The Company's stock-based compensation awards are currently being issued under its 2019 Incentive Plan, which was approved by its stockholders on August 1, 2019. Any prior awards granted under either the Company's 2010 Incentive Plan or its 1997 Incentive Plan remain subject to the terms of those plans, as applicable. Any awards that expire, are forfeited, or are surrendered to the Company in satisfaction of taxes are available for issuance under the 2019 Incentive Plan.
Refer to Note 17 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K for a detailed description of the Company's stock-based compensation awards, including information related to vesting terms, service, performance, and market conditions and payout percentages.
Impact on Results
A summary of total stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefits recognized during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 is as follows:

The Company issues its annual grants of stock-based compensation awards in the second quarter of each fiscal year. Due to the timing of the annual grants and other factors, including the timing and magnitude of forfeiture and performance goal achievement adjustments, as well as changes to the size and composition of the eligible employee population, stock-based compensation expense recognized during any given fiscal period is not necessarily indicative of the level of compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods.
Service-based RSUs
The fair values of service-based RSUs granted to certain of the Company's senior executives and other employees, as well as non-employee directors, are based on the fair value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant, adjusted to reflect the absence of dividends for any awards for which dividend equivalent amounts do not accrue to the holder while outstanding and unvested. The weighted-average grant date fair values of service-based RSU awards granted were $408.69 and $254.88 per share during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively.

No
Market-based RSUs
The Company grants market-based RSUs, which are based on total shareholder return ("TSR") performance, to its senior executives and other key employees. The Company estimates the fair value of its TSR awards on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation, which models multiple stock price paths of the Company's Class A common stock and that of its peer group to evaluate and determine its ultimate expected relative TSR performance ranking. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recorded regardless of whether, and the extent to which, the market condition is ultimately satisfied. No

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
•Europe — The Europe segment primarily consists of sales of Ralph Lauren branded apparel, handbags, footwear & accessories, home, and related products made through the Company's retail and wholesale businesses in Europe and emerging markets. In Europe, the Company's retail business is primarily comprised of its Ralph Lauren stores, its outlet stores, its concession-based shop-within-shops, and its various digital commerce sites. The Company's wholesale business in Europe is comprised primarily of a varying mix of sales to both department stores and specialty stores, depending on the country, as well as to various third-party digital and licensee partners.
•Asia — The Asia segment primarily consists of sales of Ralph Lauren branded apparel, handbags, footwear & accessories, home, and related products made through the Company's retail and wholesale businesses in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company's retail business in Asia is primarily comprised of its Ralph Lauren stores, its outlet stores, its concession-based shop-within-shops, and its various digital commerce sites. In addition, the Company sells its products online through various third-party digital partner commerce sites. The Company's wholesale business in Asia is comprised primarily of sales to department stores and various third-party digital and licensee partners.
No operating segments were aggregated to form the Company's reportable segments. In addition to these reportable segments, the Company also has other non-reportable segments, which primarily consist of Ralph Lauren and Chaps branded royalty revenues earned through its global licensing alliances.
The Company's segment reporting structure is consistent with how it establishes its overall business strategy, allocates resources, and assesses performance of its business. The accounting policies of the Company's segments are consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 3 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K. Sales and transfers between segments are generally recorded at cost and treated as transfers of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," who is its President and Chief Executive Officer, assesses segment performance and allocates resources based upon net revenues and operating income before restructuring-related charges, impairment of assets, and certain other non-routine items, if any. In addition, the Company's CODM is regularly provided each segment's gross profit and total SG&A expenses, as well as SG&A expense by category at the consolidated level. Certain corporate overhead expenses related to global functions, most notably the Company's executive office, information technology, finance and accounting, human resources, and legal departments, largely remain at corporate. Additionally, other costs that cannot be allocated to the segments based on specific usage are also maintained at corporate, including corporate marketing and advertising expenses, depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, and other general and administrative expenses resulting from corporate-level activities and projects. Asset information by segment is not utilized by the CODM for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources, and therefore such information has not been presented.

•the potential impact to our business resulting from supply chain disruptions, including those caused by capacity constraints, closed factories and/or labor shortages (stemming from pandemic diseases, labor disputes, strikes, or otherwise), man-made or natural disasters, scarcity of raw materials, port congestion, and scrutiny or detention of goods produced in certain territories resulting from laws, regulations, or trade restrictions, such as those imposed by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act ("UFLPA") or the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act ("CAATSA"), which could result in shipment approval delays leading to inventory shortages and lost sales, as well as potential shipping delays, inventory shortages, and/or higher freight and other operating costs resulting from port strikes, disruptions to major waterways, and/or increases in oil and other energy prices;

OVERVIEW
Our Business
Our Company is a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of luxury lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, footwear & accessories, fragrances, home, and hospitality. Our long-standing reputation and distinctive image have been developed across a wide range of products, brands, distribution channels, and international markets. Our brand names include Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Collection, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Double RL, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lauren Ralph Lauren, RLX Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren Children, and Chaps, among others.
We diversify our business by geography (North America, Europe, and Asia, among other regions) and channel of distribution (retail, wholesale, and licensing). This allows us to maintain a dynamic balance as our operating results do not depend solely on the performance of any single geographic area or channel of distribution. We sell directly to consumers through our integrated retail channel, which includes our retail stores, concession-based shop-within-shops, and digital commerce operations around the world. Our wholesale sales are made principally to major department stores, specialty stores, and third-party digital partners around the world, as well as to certain third-party-owned stores to which we have licensed the right to operate in defined geographic territories using our trademarks. In addition, we license to third parties for specified periods and geographies the right to access our various trademarks in connection with the licensees' manufacture and sale of designated products, such as certain apparel categories, eyewear, fragrances, and home furnishings.
We organize our business into the following three reportable segments:
•North America — Our North America segment, representing approximately 41% of our Fiscal 2026 net revenues, primarily consists of sales of our Ralph Lauren branded products made through our retail and wholesale businesses primarily in the U.S. and Canada. In North America, our retail business is primarily comprised of our Ralph Lauren stores, our outlet stores, and our digital commerce sites, www.RalphLauren.com and www.RalphLauren.ca. Our wholesale business in North America is comprised primarily of sales to department stores and, to a lesser extent, specialty stores.
•Europe — Our Europe segment, representing approximately 31% of our Fiscal 2026 net revenues, primarily consists of sales of our Ralph Lauren branded products made through our retail and wholesale businesses in Europe and emerging markets. In Europe, our retail business is primarily comprised of our Ralph Lauren stores, our outlet stores, our concession-based shop-within-shops, and our various digital commerce sites. Our wholesale business in Europe is comprised primarily of a varying mix of sales to both department stores and specialty stores, depending on the country, as well as to various third-party digital and licensee partners.
•Asia — Our Asia segment, representing approximately 26% of our Fiscal 2026 net revenues, primarily consists of sales of our Ralph Lauren branded products made through our retail and wholesale businesses in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Our retail business in Asia is primarily comprised of our Ralph Lauren stores, our outlet stores, our concession-based shop-within-shops, and our various digital commerce sites. In addition, we sell our products online through various third-party digital partner commerce sites. Our wholesale business in Asia is comprised primarily of sales to department stores and various third-party digital and licensee partners.
No operating segments were aggregated to form our reportable segments. In addition to these reportable segments, we also have other non-reportable segments, representing approximately 2% of our Fiscal 2026 net revenues, which primarily consist of Ralph Lauren and Chaps branded royalty revenues earned through our global licensing alliances.
Approximately 59% of our Fiscal 2026 net revenues were earned outside of the U.S. See Note 16 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our segment reporting structure.
Our business is typically affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of retail sales in our second and third fiscal quarters and higher wholesale sales in our second and fourth fiscal quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of key vacation travel, back-to-school, and holiday shopping periods impacting our retail business and timing of seasonal wholesale shipments. As a result of changes in our business, consumer spending patterns, and the macroeconomic environment, including those resulting from pandemic diseases and other catastrophic events, historical quarterly operating trends and working capital requirements may not be indicative of our future performance. In addition, fluctuations in sales, operating
35 | ||||||||
income (loss), and cash flows in any fiscal quarter may be affected by other events affecting retail sales, such as changes in weather patterns. Accordingly, our operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended June 27, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows that may be expected for the full Fiscal 2027.
Recent Developments
Next Generation Transformation Project
We began a multi-year global project during our fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 that is expected to significantly transform the way in which we operate our business and further enable our long-term strategic pivot towards a global direct-to-consumer-oriented model (the "Next Generation Transformation project" or "NGT project"). The NGT project will span the next several years, with implementation occurring in phases by region and/or capability, and involves the redesign of certain end-to-end processes and the implementation of a suite of technology systems on a global scale. These efforts are expected to result in significant process improvements and the creation of synergies across core areas of operations, as well as financial planning and reporting, better enabling us to optimize inventory levels and increase the speed with which we react to changes in consumer demand across markets, among other benefits.
We continue to advance key workstreams under the NGT project including completion of global design templates that support our core enterprise resource planning platform and related processes, automation of certain distribution center operations, and the global roll-out of merchandise allocation and long-range demand planning tools.
In connection with the NGT project, we incurred other charges of $20.8 million and $11.0 million during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, which were recorded within restructuring and other charges, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Global Economic Conditions and Industry Trends
The global economy and retail industry are impacted by many factors beyond our control. In April 2025, the U.S. announced significant changes to its trade policies under the authority of IEEPA, including broad-based tariff increases on foreign imported goods, with potential for new tariffs and further future increases to existing tariffs, as well as revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements. In response, many countries announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports and other trade restrictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the IEEPA tariffs previously applied to our foreign imports, after which the U.S. announced additional tariffs under other trade authorities. In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to refund IEEPA tariffs that were previously collected, and in April 2026, CBP announced the refund process, leveraging the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries Claim Portal through a phased rollout. While we have submitted refund claims for eligible IEEPA tariffs previously paid, the ultimate amount and timing of collection, and approval of any such refunds remain uncertain. Moreover, trade policy developments are ongoing and continue to create uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries, and could contribute to further trade restrictions, higher inflation, slower economic growth, supply chain disruptions, and continued volatility in global stock markets and foreign currency exchange rates.
In addition to evolving trade policies, the global economy has been negatively impacted by ongoing military conflicts, including those involving Iran and other hostilities in the Middle East, which have increased uncertainty around global energy and key shipping routes. Although our ongoing operations in the Middle East are not material, our business has been, and may continue to be, affected by the broader macroeconomic and supply chain implications of these conflicts and related disruptions, including higher energy, freight, and transportation costs, inflationary pressures, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, financial market volatility, and periodic shipping delays, among other factors. While our business has not been significantly impacted by such disruptions, we have experienced some shipping delays affecting the timing of inventory receipts. The duration and potential escalation of these conflicts and related disruptions remain uncertain and could result in further inventory receipt delays and/or higher freight and transportation costs in the near-term and beyond.
Overall economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, relatively elevated interest rates, foreign currency volatility, and organized labor disputes, continue to impact consumer discretionary income levels, spending, and sentiment in the U.S. and globally. Collectively, these conditions have contributed to a competitive and uncertain retail operating environment. In response to such pressures, and to reduce elevated inventory levels, many retailers (particularly in the U.S. and Europe) continue to resort to promotional activity to support traffic conversion. Furthermore, the department store sector continues to experience consolidations, restructurings, bankruptcies, other ownership changes, and store closures.
36 | ||||||||
In response to these macroeconomic, industry, and geopolitical pressures, we have implemented various global strategies to address many of these challenges and continue to build a foundation for long-term profitable growth by strengthening our consumer-facing areas and driving a more efficient operating model. We have also proactively diversified our supply chain from a geographic perspective and believe we can further mitigate cost pressures through disciplined inventory management, supplier negotiations, our ability to change country of origin, and pricing actions. However, the tariff environment remains dynamic and unpredictable, and significant increases in tariffs across our supply chain could negatively impact our profitability. Despite the competitive environment, we remain focused on executing our broader long-term strategy of brand elevation, which includes multiple levers to continue driving average unit retail growth and brand equity. We continue to monitor the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, including evolving trade policies, tariffs, and disruption or volatility affecting key shipping routes, and adjust our operating strategies to help mitigate the related impacts on our results of operations.
For a detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, see Part I, Item 1A — "Risk Factors" in our Fiscal 2026 10-K.
Summary of Financial Performance
Operating Results
During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we reported net revenues of $1.960 billion, net income of $262.2 million, and net income per diluted share of $4.28, as compared to net revenues of $1.719 billion, net income of $220.4 million, and net income per diluted share of $3.52 during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The comparability of our operating results has been affected by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits), as well as foreign currency volatility. Our operating results are also susceptible to changes in macroeconomic conditions.
Our operating performance for the three-month period ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the prior fiscal year period reflected revenue growth of 14.0% on a reported basis and 13.4% on a constant currency basis, as defined within "Transactions and Trends Affecting Comparability of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" below. Net revenues reflected growth across all of our reportable segments.
Our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased by 140 basis points to 73.7% during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, primarily driven by average unit retail ("AUR") growth, and, to a lesser extent, favorable channel and geographic mix shifts, more than offsetting pressure from tariffs and other product costs.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net revenues during the three months ended June 27, 2026 declined by 20 basis points to 55.0% as compared to the prior fiscal year period, largely attributable to operating leverage on higher net revenues.
Net income increased by $41.8 million to $262.2 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025, primarily due to a $68.8 million increase in our operating income, partly offset by a $22.4 million increase in our income tax provision. Net income per diluted share increased by $0.76 to $4.28 per share during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025, driven by the higher level of net income and lower weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.
During the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, our operating results were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $23.5 million and $19.3 million, respectively, which had an after-tax effect of reducing net income by $18.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and $15.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, respectively.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
As of June 27, 2026, net cash and short-term investments position (calculated as cash and cash equivalents, plus short-term investments, less total debt) was $702.2 million, as compared to $826.1 million as of the end of Fiscal 2026. The decrease in our net cash and short-term investments position was primarily due to our use of cash to support Class A common stock repurchases of $325.1 million, including $75.1 million of share withholdings in satisfaction of tax obligations related to the vesting of stock-based compensation awards, to make dividend payments of $54.8 million, to invest in our business through $53.4 million of capital expenditures, and the unfavorable effect of exchange rate changes of $16.5 million, primarily related to our cash and cash equivalents, partly offset by our operating cash flows of $339.3 million.
37 | ||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities was $339.3 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared to $176.1 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The net increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a net favorable change related to lower inventory levels as compared to the prior fiscal year period, as well as an increase in net income before non-cash charges.
Our equity decreased to $2.722 billion as of June 27, 2026 compared to $2.841 billion as of March 28, 2026 due to our share repurchase activity and dividends declared during the three months ended June 27, 2026, partly offset by our comprehensive income and the net impact of stock-based compensation arrangements.
Transactions and Trends Affecting Comparability of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The comparability of our operating results for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 has been affected by certain transactions, including pretax charges incurred in connection with our restructuring activities and certain other benefits (charges), as summarized below (references to "Notes" are to the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements):

| Total net charges | $ | (23.5) | $ | (19.3) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(a)Non-routine bad debt expense reversals are recorded within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Because we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results reported in U.S. Dollars is also affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which we transact change in value over time compared to the U.S. Dollar. Such fluctuations can have a significant effect on our reported results. As such, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), our discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency. We present constant currency financial information, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to our reported operating results. We use constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We believe this information is useful to investors for facilitating comparisons of operating results and better identifying trends in our businesses. The constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations between this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included in the "Results of Operations" section where applicable.
Our discussion also includes reference to comparable store sales. Comparable store sales refer to the change in sales of our stores that have been open for at least 13 full fiscal months. Sales from our digital commerce sites are also included within comparable sales for those geographies that have been serviced by the related site for at least 13 full fiscal months. Sales for stores or digital commerce sites that are closed or shut down during the year are excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales. Sales for stores that are either relocated, enlarged (as defined by gross square footage expansion of 25% or greater), or generally closed for 30 or more consecutive days for renovation are also excluded from the calculation of comparable store sales until such stores have been operating in their new location or in their newly renovated state for at least 13 full fiscal months. All comparable store sales metrics are calculated on a constant currency basis.
Our "Results of Operations" discussion that follows includes the significant changes in operating results arising from these items affecting comparability. However, unusual items or transactions may occur in any period. Accordingly, investors and other financial statement users should consider the types of events and transactions that have affected operating trends.

North America net revenues — Net revenues increased by $84.1 million, or 12.8%, during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $84.0 million, or 12.8%.
The $84.1 million increase in North America net revenues was driven by:
•a $42.2 million increase related to our North America retail business. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $42.1 million, reflecting an increase of $42.0 million in comparable store sales. The increase in our comparable store sales reflected high-teens AUR growth and higher traffic during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025. The following table summarizes the percentage changes in comparable store sales related to our North America retail business:
| % Change | ||||||||
| Digital commerce | 8 | % | ||||||
| Brick and mortar | 10 | % | ||||||
| Total comparable store sales | 9 | % | ||||||
•a $41.9 million increase related to our North America wholesale business, driven by strong selling trends and replenishment orders, including resumed shipments to a luxury wholesale account, and a favorable timing shift of inventory shipments.
40 | ||||||||
Europe net revenues — Net revenues increased by $39.9 million, or 7.2%, during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $25.2 million, or 4.6%.
The $39.9 million increase in Europe net revenues was driven by:
•a $30.8 million increase related to our Europe wholesale business, driven by positive selling trends and a favorable timing shift of inventory shipments, as well as favorable foreign currency effects of $8.3 million; and
•a $9.1 million increase related to our Europe retail business, inclusive of favorable foreign currency effects of $6.4 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $2.7 million, reflecting an increase of $3.7 million in comparable store sales, partly offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in non-comparable store sales. The increase in our comparable store sales reflected low-single digit AUR growth during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025.

Asia net revenues — Net revenues increased by $115.3 million, or 24.3%, during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $120.1 million, or 25.3%.
The $115.3 million increase in Asia net revenues was primarily driven by:
•a $116.8 million increase related to our Asia retail business, inclusive of unfavorable foreign currency effects of $5.0 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $121.8 million, reflecting increases of $88.3 million in comparable store sales and $33.5 million in non-comparable store sales. The increase in our comparable store sales reflected mid-teens AUR growth and higher traffic during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2025. The following table summarizes the percentage changes in comparable store sales related to our Asia retail business:
| % Change | ||||||||
| Digital commerce | 32 | % | ||||||

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $201.9 million, or 16.2%, to $1.444 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2026, including favorable foreign currency effects of $8.9 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 73.7% for the three months ended June 27, 2026 from 72.3% for the three months ended June 28, 2025. The 140 basis point increase reflected favorable foreign currency effects of approximately 10 basis points. The remaining 130 basis point improvement was primarily due to mid-teens AUR growth as well as favorable channel and geographic mix shifts, more than offsetting pressure from tariffs and other product costs.
Gross profit is the difference between total net revenues and cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the amounts incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale to our customers, including product costs, freight-in, and import costs, as well as changes in reserves for shrinkage and inventory realizability. Gains and losses associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of inventory transactions are also recognized within cost of goods sold when the hedged inventory is sold. The costs of selling merchandise, including those associated with preparing merchandise for sale, such as picking, packing, warehousing, and order charges, are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses include costs relating to compensation and benefits, marketing and advertising, rent and occupancy, distribution, information technology, legal, depreciation and amortization, bad debt, and other selling and administrative costs. SG&A expenses increased by $127.6 million, or 13.4%, to $1.077 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2026, including unfavorable foreign currency effects of $4.4 million. SG&A expenses as a
41 | ||||||||
percentage of net revenues declined to 55.0% for the three months ended June 27, 2026 from 55.2% for the three months ended June 28, 2025. The 20 basis point decline was largely attributable to operating leverage on higher net revenues.
The $127.6 million increase in SG&A expenses was driven by:

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net. Restructuring and other charges, net during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 consisted primarily of net restructuring charges of $3.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively, associated with severance and benefits costs, as well as other charges of $20.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, incurred in connection with our Next Generation Transformation project (refer to "Recent Developments" for additional discussion). See Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by $68.8 million, or 25.2%, to $342.4 million for the three months ended June 27, 2026, reflecting favorable foreign currency effects of $4.5 million. Our operating results during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $23.5 million and $19.3 million, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues was 17.5% for the three months ended June 27, 2026, reflecting a 160 basis point increase from the prior fiscal year period. The increase in operating income as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by the increase in our gross margin, as well as a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues.

North America operating margin improved by 240 basis points, primarily due to a reduction of 130 basis points in SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenues and an increase of 120 basis points in gross margin.
42 | ||||||||
Europe operating margin was flat, with an increase of 160 basis points in gross margin offset by an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues, which included higher marketing expenses. This operating margin was inclusive of the favorable impact of 40 basis points related to foreign currency effects.
Asia operating margin improved by 280 basis points, primarily due to a reduction of 240 basis points in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues and an increase of 50 basis points in gross margin. The overall improvement in operating margin was inclusive of the favorable impact of 10 basis points related to foreign currency effects.
Corporate expenses increased by $25.2 million to $190.0 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in corporate expenses was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses of $25.9 million and staff-related expenses of $2.9 million, partly offset by higher intercompany sourcing commission of $3.6 million (which is offset at the segment level and eliminates in consolidation).
Non-operating Income (Expense), Net. Non-operating income (expense), net is comprised of interest expense, interest income, and other income (expense), net, which includes foreign currency gains (losses), equity in income (losses) from our equity-method investees, and other non-operating expenses. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we reported non-operating expense, net of $0.2 million as compared to non-operating income, net of $4.4 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision represents federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. Our effective tax rate will change from period to period based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographic mix of earnings, the timing and amount of foreign dividends, enacted tax legislation, state and local taxes, tax audit findings and settlements, and the interaction of various global tax strategies.
The income tax provision and effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2026 were $80.0 million and 23.4%, respectively, compared to $57.6 million and 20.7%, respectively, for the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $22.4 million increase in our income tax provision was primarily driven by an increase in our pretax income, as well as the 270 basis point increase in our effective tax rate. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to unfavorable tax impacts of the deduction for foreign-derived eligible income and the unfavorable tax impact of earnings generated in higher taxed jurisdictions, partly offset by the favorable impact of lower income tax reserves associated with certain income tax audits as compared to the prior fiscal year period. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Net Income. Net income increased to $262.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2026, from $220.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $41.8 million increase in net income was primarily due to the increase in our operating income, partly offset by the increase in our income tax provision, both as previously discussed. Our operating results during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $23.5 million and $19.3 million, respectively, which had an after-tax effect of reducing net income by $18.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively.
Net Income per Diluted Share. Net income per diluted share increased to $4.28 for the three months ended June 27, 2026, from $3.52 for the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $0.76 per share increase was primarily driven by the higher level of net income, as previously discussed, and lower weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the three months ended June 27, 2026 driven by our share repurchases during the last twelve months. Net income per diluted share for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were also negatively impacted by $0.31 per share and $0.25 per share, respectively, attributable to net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits), as previously discussed.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Financial Condition

(a)See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the carrying amounts of our debt.
The decrease in our net cash and short-term investments position at June 27, 2026 as compared to March 28, 2026 was primarily due to our use of cash to support Class A common stock repurchases of $325.1 million, including $75.1 million of share withholdings in satisfaction of tax obligations related to the vesting of stock-based compensation awards, to make dividend payments of $54.8 million, to invest in our business through $53.4 million in capital expenditures, and the unfavorable effect of exchange rate changes of $16.5 million, primarily related to our cash and cash equivalents, partly offset by our operating cash flows of $339.3 million.
The decrease in our equity was attributable to our share repurchase activity and dividends declared during the three months ended June 27, 2026, partly offset by our comprehensive income and the net impact of stock-based compensation arrangements.
Cash Flows

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $339.3 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared to $176.1 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $163.2 million net increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to a net favorable change related to our operating assets and liabilities, including our working capital, as compared to the prior fiscal year period, as well as an increase in net income before non-cash charges.
The net favorable change related to our operating assets and liabilities, including our working capital, was primarily driven by a year-over-year decrease in our inventory levels, with prior year's inventory balance elevated due to the tariff impacts in North America and earlier timing of deliveries in Europe.
44 | ||||||||
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $204.1 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared to $198.3 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $5.8 million net increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by:
•a $130.5 million increase in purchases of investments, less proceeds from sales and maturities of investments. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we made net investment purchases of $147.5 million, as compared to $17.0 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025.
This increase in cash used in investing activities was offset by:
•a $133.9 million decrease in capital expenditures. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we spent $53.4 million on capital expenditures, as compared to $187.3 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended June 27, 2026 primarily related to store openings and renovations, corporate office renovations, and enhancements to our information technology systems.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $387.0 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $114.1 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The $501.1 million net increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by:
•a $498.2 million decrease in cash proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we did not issue or repay any debt. On a comparative basis, during the three months ended June 28, 2025, we received $498.2 million in proceeds from our issuance of the 5.000% Senior Notes (as defined below).
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, our available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, availability under our credit facilities and commercial paper program, and other available financing options. We also maintain access to the capital markets and may issue debt securities from time to time, which may provide an additional source of liquidity and/or funds to refinance existing debt.
During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we generated $339.3 million of net cash flows from our operations. As of June 27, 2026, we had $1.942 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, of which $1.593 billion were held by our subsidiaries domiciled outside the U.S. We are not dependent on foreign cash to fund our domestic operations. Undistributed foreign earnings generated on or before December 31, 2017 that were subject to the one-time mandatory transition tax in connection with U.S. tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are not considered to be permanently reinvested and may be repatriated to the U.S. in the future with minimal or no additional U.S. taxation. We intend to permanently reinvest undistributed foreign earnings generated after December 31, 2017 that were not subject to the one-time mandatory transition tax. However, if our plans change and we choose to repatriate post-2017 earnings to the U.S. in the future, we would be subject to applicable U.S. and foreign taxes.
The following table presents the total availability, utilization, and remaining availability under our credit facilities and Commercial Paper Program as of June 27, 2026:

| Pan-Asia Credit Facilities | 34 | 1 | (c) | 33 | ||||||||||||||||
(a)As defined in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(b)Borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are supported by the Global Credit Facility. Combined borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program and the Global Credit Facility are limited to $750 million.
(c)Represents letters of credit and bank guarantees under the Global Credit Facility and Pan-Asia Credit Facilities, respectively, for which we were contingently liable as of June 27, 2026.
45 | ||||||||
We believe that the Global Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. In particular, as of June 27, 2026, there were six financial institutions participating in the Global Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 25%. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we have the ability to expand our borrowing availability under the Global Credit Facility to $1.500 billion through the full term of the facility, subject to the agreement of one or more new or existing lenders under the facility to increase their commitments.
Borrowings under the Pan-Asia Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the parent company and are granted at the sole discretion of the participating banks (as described within Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), subject to availability of the respective banks' funds and satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements. We have no reason to believe that the participating institutions will be unable to fulfill their obligations to provide financing in accordance with the terms of the Global Credit Facility and the Pan-Asia Credit Facilities in the event of our election to draw additional funds in the foreseeable future.
Our sources of liquidity are used to fund our ongoing cash requirements, including working capital requirements, global retail store and digital commerce expansion, construction and renovation of shop-within-shops, investment in infrastructure, including technology, dividend payments, debt repayments, Class A common stock repurchases, settlement of contingent liabilities (including uncertain tax positions), and other corporate activities, including our restructuring actions. We believe that our existing sources of cash, the availability under our credit facilities, and our ability to access capital markets will be sufficient to support our operating, capital, and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, the ongoing development of our businesses, and our plans for further business expansion. However, prolonged periods of adverse economic conditions or business disruptions in any of our key regions, or a combination thereof, such as those resulting from pandemic diseases and other catastrophic events, could impede our ability to pay our obligations as they become due or return value to our shareholders, as well as delay previously planned expenditures related to our operations.
See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 10 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K for additional information relating to our credit facilities.
Supplier Finance Program
We support a voluntary supplier finance program which provides certain of our inventory suppliers the opportunity, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables due from us (which generally have 90-day payment terms) to a participating financial institution for a discounted payment amount made earlier than the payment terms stipulated between us and the supplier. Our vendor payment terms and amounts due are not impacted by a supplier's decision to participate in the program. We have not pledged any assets and do not provide guarantees under the supplier finance program. Our payment obligations outstanding under our supplier finance program were $268.4 million and $172.1 million as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively, and were recorded within accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Debt and Covenant Compliance
In June 2020, we completed a registered public debt offering and issued a $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes that were due and repaid on June 15, 2022 with cash on hand, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.700%, payable semi-annually, and a $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2030, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.950%, payable semi-annually (the "2.950% Senior Notes"). In June 2025, we completed another registered public debt offering and issued a $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2032, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.000%, payable semi-annually (the "5.000% Senior Notes").
The indenture and supplemental indentures governing the 2.950% Senior Notes and 5.000% Senior Notes (as supplemented, the "Indenture") contain certain covenants that restrict our ability, subject to specified exceptions, to incur certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with another party; or sell, lease, or convey all or substantially all of our property or assets to another party. However, the Indenture does not contain any financial covenants.
We have a credit facility that provides for a $750 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit through June 30, 2028, which is available for working capital needs, capital expenditures, certain investments, general corporate purposes, and for funding acquisitions, as well as used to support the issuance of letters of credit and the maintenance of the Commercial Paper Program (the "Global Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Global Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies, including Euros, Hong Kong Dollars, and Japanese Yen. We have the ability to expand the borrowing availability under the Global Credit Facility to $1.500 billion, subject to the agreement of one or more new or
46 | ||||||||
existing lenders under the facility to increase their commitments. There are no mandatory reductions in borrowing ability throughout the term of the Global Credit Facility.
The Global Credit Facility contains a number of covenants, as described in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 27, 2026, no Event of Default (as such term is defined pursuant to the Global Credit Facility) has occurred under our Global Credit Facility. The Pan-Asia Credit Facilities do not contain any financial covenants.
See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 10 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K for additional information relating to our debt and covenant compliance.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On May 15, 2025, our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing common stock repurchase program that allows us to repurchase up to an additional $1.500 billion of our Class A common stock, excluding related excise taxes. As of June 27, 2026, the remaining availability under our common stock repurchase program was approximately $1.102 billion. Repurchases of shares of our Class A common stock are subject to overall business and market conditions.
See Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our Class A common stock repurchase program.
Dividends
We have generally maintained a regular quarterly cash dividend program on our common stock since 2003.
On May 14, 2026, our Board of Directors approved an increase to our quarterly cash dividend on our common stock from $0.9125 to $1.00 per share.
We intend to continue to pay regular dividends on outstanding shares of our common stock. However, any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will ultimately be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant, including economic and market conditions.
See Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our quarterly cash dividend program.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no substantial changes to our material cash requirements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2026 10-K, other than those which occur in the ordinary course of business. Refer to the "Financial Condition and Liquidity — Material Cash Requirements" section of the MD&A in our Fiscal 2026 10-K for detailed disclosure of our material cash requirements as of March 28, 2026.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
As discussed in Note 12 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K and Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we are exposed to a variety of levels and types of risks, including the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on foreign currency-denominated balances, certain anticipated cash flows of our international operations, and the value of reported net assets of our foreign operations, as well as changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations relating to fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. Accordingly, in the normal course of business we assess such risks and, in accordance with our established policies and procedures, may use derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate them. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Given our use of derivative instruments, we are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate such counterparty credit risk, it is our policy to only enter into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon an evaluation of their credit ratings and certain other factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. Our established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include ongoing review and assessment of the creditworthiness of our counterparties. We also enter into master netting arrangements with counterparties, when possible, to further mitigate credit risk. As a result of the above considerations, we do not believe that we are exposed to undue concentration of counterparty risk with respect to our derivative contracts as of June 27, 2026. However,
47 | ||||||||
we do have in aggregate $13.8 million of derivative instruments in net asset positions held across three creditworthy financial institutions as of June 27, 2026.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates using forward foreign currency exchange and cross-currency swap contracts. Refer to Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a summary of the notional amounts and fair values of our outstanding forward foreign currency exchange and cross-currency swap contracts, as well as the impact on earnings and other comprehensive income of such instruments as of June 27, 2026.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
We use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate risk related to exchange rate fluctuations on inventory transactions made in an entity's non-functional currency, the settlement of foreign currency-denominated balances, and the translation of certain foreign operations' net assets into U.S. Dollars. As part of our overall strategy for managing the level of exposure to such exchange rate risk, relating primarily to the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, the Australian Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Canadian Dollar, we generally hedge a portion of our related exposures anticipated over the next year using forward foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of two months to one year to provide continuing coverage over the period of the respective exposure.
Our foreign exchange risk management activities are governed by established policies and procedures. These policies and procedures provide a framework that allows for the management of currency exposures while ensuring the activities are conducted within our established guidelines. Our policies include guidelines for the organizational structure of our risk management function and for internal controls over foreign exchange risk management activities, including, but not limited to, authorization levels, transaction limits, and credit quality controls, as well as various measurements for monitoring compliance. We monitor foreign exchange risk using different techniques, including periodic review of market values and performance of sensitivity analyses.
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
We periodically designate pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts as hedges of our net investment in certain European subsidiaries. These contracts swap U.S. Dollar-denominated fixed interest rate payments based on the contract's notional amount and the fixed rate of interest payable on certain of our senior notes for Euro-denominated fixed interest rate payments, thereby economically converting a portion of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated senior note obligations to fixed rate Euro-denominated obligations.
See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our foreign currency exposures and the types of derivative instruments used to hedge those exposures.
Investment Risk Management
As of June 27, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents on-hand of $1.719 billion, consisting of deposits in interest bearing accounts, investments in money market deposit accounts, and investments in time deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less. Our other significant investments included $222.6 million of short-term investments, consisting of investments in time deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days.
We actively monitor our exposure to changes in the fair value of our global investment portfolio in accordance with our established policies and procedures, which include monitoring both general and issuer-specific economic conditions, as discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our investment objectives include capital preservation, maintaining adequate liquidity, diversification to minimize liquidity and credit risk, and achievement of maximum returns within the guidelines set forth in our investment policy. See Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further detail of the composition of our investment portfolio as of June 27, 2026.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Fiscal 2026 10-K. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, assessments of probability, and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to the "Critical Accounting Policies" section of the MD&A in our Fiscal 2026 10-K.
There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies since March 28, 2026.
