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 the right to access its various trademarks in connection with the licensees' manufacture and sale of designated products, such as certain apparel, eyewear, fragrances, and home.
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 April 1, 2023 (the "Fiscal 2023 10-K").
Basis of Consolidation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company, including all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Periods
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday immediately before or after March 31. As such, fiscal year 2024 will end on March 30, 2024 and will be a 52-week period ("Fiscal 2024"). Fiscal year 2023 ended on April 1, 2023 and was also a 52-week period ("Fiscal 2023"). The first quarter of Fiscal 2024 ended on July 1, 2023 and was a 13-week period. The first quarter of Fiscal 2023 ended on July 2, 2022 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 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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation.
Seasonality of Business
The Company's business is typically affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of retail sales in its second and third fiscal quarters and higher wholesale sales in its second and fourth fiscal quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of key vacation travel, back-to-school, and holiday shopping periods impacting its retail business and the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments. As a result of changes in its 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 the Company's future performance. In addition, fluctuations in sales, operating 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, the Company's operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows that may be expected for the full Fiscal 2024.
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 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 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.
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 also 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

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 markdown reserves 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.
Revenue from the Company's licensing arrangements is recognized over time during the period that licensees are provided access to the Company's trademarks (i.e., symbolic intellectual property) and benefit from such access through their own sales of licensed products. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty, which for most arrangements, may be subject to a contractually-guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Payments are generally due quarterly and, depending on time of receipt, may be recorded as a liability until recognized as revenue. The Company recognizes revenue for sales-based royalty arrangements (including those for which the royalty exceeds any contractually-guaranteed minimum royalty amount) as licensed products are sold by the licensee. If a sales-based royalty is not ultimately expected to exceed a contractually-guaranteed minimum royalty amount, the minimum is generally recognized as revenue ratably over the respective contractual period. This sales-based output measure of progress and pattern of recognition best represents the value transferred to the licensee over the term of the arrangement, as well as the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for providing access to its trademarks. As of July 1, 2023, contractually-guaranteed minimum royalty amounts expected to be recognized as revenue during future periods were as follows:

|  | Contractually-Guaranteed Minimum Royalties(a)
|  | (millions)
Remainder of Fiscal 2024 |  | $ | 73.5 |
Fiscal 2025 |  | 61.6 |
Fiscal 2026 |  | 44.1 |
Fiscal 2027 |  | 40.8 |
Fiscal 2028 |  | 11.3 |
Fiscal 2029 and thereafter |  | — |
Total |  | $ | 231.3 |

(a)Amounts presented do not contemplate potential contract renewals or royalties earned in excess of the contractually-guaranteed minimums.

Deferred Income
Deferred income represents cash payments received in advance of the Company's transfer of control of products or services to its customers and generally consists of unredeemed gift cards (net of breakage) and advance royalty payments from its licensees. The Company's deferred income balances were $18.2 million and $14.1 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, and were primarily recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the deferred income balance as of July 1, 2023 is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Costs associated with shipping goods to customers are accounted for as fulfillment activities and reflected as selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs of preparing merchandise for sale, such as picking, packing, warehousing, and order charges ("handling costs"), are also included in SG&A expenses. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenue.
A summary of shipping and handling costs for the fiscal periods presented is as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended
|  |  |  |  |  | July 1, 2023 |  | July 2, 2022
|  |  |  |  |  | (millions)
Shipping costs |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 16.9 |  |  | $ | 17.3 |
Handling costs |  |  |  |  |  | 39.2 |  |  | 37.0 |

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 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, only for the periods in which such effects are dilutive.
The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per common share is reconciled to shares used to calculate diluted net income per common share as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended
|  |  |  |  |  | July 1, 2023 |  | July 2, 2022
|  |  |  |  |  | (millions)
Basic shares |  |  |  |  |  | 65.9 |  |  | 70.1 |
Dilutive effect of RSUs |  |  |  |  |  | 1.5 |  |  | 1.4 |
Diluted shares |  |  |  |  |  | 67.4 |  |  | 71.5 |

All earnings per share amounts have been calculated using unrounded numbers. The Company has outstanding performance-based RSUs, which are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) have been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive. As of both July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, there were 0.1 million of additional shares issuable contingent upon vesting of performance-based RSUs that were excluded from the diluted shares calculations.

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 of related accounting policies) and (ii) allowances for doubtful accounts.
A rollforward of the activity in the Company's reserves for returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances is presented as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended
|  |  |  |  |  | July 1, 2023 |  | July 2, 2022
|  |  |  |  |  | (millions)
Beginning reserve balance |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 148.1 |  |  | $ | 180.7 |
Amount charged against revenue to increase reserve |  |  |  |  |  | 95.6 |  |  | 86.7 |
Amount credited against customer accounts to decrease reserve |  |  |  |  |  | (107.5) |  |  | (103.3) |
Foreign currency translation |  |  |  |  |  | (1.0) |  |  | (6.7) |
Ending reserve balance |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 135.2 |  |  | $ | 157.4 |

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.
A rollforward of the activity in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is presented as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended

(a)Amounts recorded to bad debt expense are included within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
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. In 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 2023, the Company's sales to its three largest wholesale customers accounted for approximately 16% of total net revenues. Substantially all of the Company's sales to its three largest wholesale customers related to its North America segment. As of July 1, 2023, these three key wholesale customers accounted for approximately 25% of total gross accounts receivable.

Inventories
The Company holds inventory that is sold in its retail stores and digital commerce sites directly to consumers. The Company also holds inventory that is to be sold through wholesale distribution channels to major department stores, specialty stores, and third-party digital partners. Substantially all of the Company's inventories consist of finished goods, which are stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted-average cost basis. Inventory held by the Company totaled $1.188 billion, $1.071 billion, and $1.178 billion as of July 1, 2023, April 1, 2023, and July 2, 2022, respectively.
Supplier Finance Program
The Company supports a voluntary supplier finance program which provides certain of its inventory suppliers the opportunity, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables due from the Company (which are generally due within 90 days) to a participating financial institution in exchange for receipt of a discounted payment amount made earlier than the payment term stipulated between the Company and the supplier. The Company's vendor payment terms and amounts due are not impacted by a supplier's decision to participate in the program. The Company has not pledged any assets and does not provide guarantees under the supplier finance program. The Company's payment obligations outstanding under its supplier finance program were $212.3 million and $122.2 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, and were recorded within accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
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 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.

| 12 |

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
See Note 11 for further discussion of the Company's derivative financial instruments.
Refer to Note 3 of the Fiscal 2023 10-K for a summary of all of the Company's significant accounting policies.
4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" ("ASU 2022-04"). ASU 2022-04 requires entities to disclose the key terms of supplier finance programs they use in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of each period and an annual rollforward of such obligations. This standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for the Company beginning in its Fiscal 2024 and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented. The annual rollforward disclosure is not required to be made until the Company's fiscal year ending March 29, 2025 ("Fiscal 2025") and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 as of the beginning of Fiscal 2024. Other than the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Company's supplier finance program.

7. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net
A description of significant restructuring and other activities and their related costs is provided below.
Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Activities
During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company recorded $30.5 million of cash-related restructuring charges, primarily associated with severance and benefit costs. As of July 1, 2023, the remaining restructuring liability related to these charges was $29.7 million, reflecting cash payments of $0.8 million made during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
Fiscal 2023 Restructuring Activities
The Company recorded cash-related restructuring charges of $0.7 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022 related to its restructuring plan initiated during its fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 (the "Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan"). Actions associated with the Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan are complete and no additional charges are expected to be incurred in connection with this plan. As of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the remaining restructuring liability related to this plan was $16.6 million and $20.7 million, respectively, reflecting $4.1 million of cash payments made during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
Refer to Note 9 of the Fiscal 2023 10-K for additional discussion regarding the Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan.
Other Charges
The Company recorded other charges of $5.1 million and $4.9 million during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023, and July 2, 2022, respectively, primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired.
8. Income Taxes
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") into law. The IRA enacted a 15% corporate minimum tax rate (subject to certain thresholds being met) that became effective for the Company beginning in its Fiscal 2024, a 1% excise tax on share repurchases made after December 31, 2022 (which may be reduced for the fair value of certain share issuances), and created and extended certain tax-related energy incentives. The tax-related provisions of the IRA have not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements to date, but could in the future if the Company's facts and circumstances were to change. See Note 13 for additional information relating to the Company's stock repurchase program.
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 22.6% and 23.9% during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of adjustments related to uncertain tax positions and state taxes, partially offset by the favorable tax impact of earnings generated in lower taxed foreign jurisdictions versus the U.S. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and the unfavorable impact of certain audit related adjustments, partially offset by the favorable tax impact of earnings generated in lower taxed foreign jurisdictions versus the U.S.
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 $99.1 million and $93.8 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, and was included within the non-current liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets.

| 16 |

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $62.7 million and $59.6 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, 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. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, the Company does not anticipate that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will change significantly during the next twelve months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company's current estimate to change materially in the future.
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 March 30, 2013.
9. Debt
Debt consists of the following:

|  | July 1, 2023 |  | April 1, 2023
|  | (millions)
$400 million 3.750% Senior Notes(a) |  | $ | 398.5 |  |  | $ | 398.4 |
$750 million 2.950% Senior Notes(b) |  | 740.5 |  |  | 740.1 |
Total long-term debt |  | $ | 1,139.0 |  |  | $ | 1,138.5 |

(a)The carrying value of the 3.750% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively.
(b)The carrying value of the 2.950% Senior Notes is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $9.5 million and $9.9 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively.
Senior Notes
In August 2018, the Company completed a registered public debt offering and issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due September 15, 2025, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.750%, payable semi-annually (the "3.750% Senior Notes"). The 3.750% Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.521% of their principal amount. The proceeds from this offering were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the Company's previously outstanding $300 million principal amount of 2.125% unsecured senior notes that matured September 26, 2018.
In June 2020, the Company completed another registered public debt offering and issued an additional $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 August 18, 2020.
The Company has the option to redeem the 3.750% Senior Notes and 2.950% 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, as defined in the supplemental indentures governing such Senior Notes (together with the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the "Indenture"). The Indenture contains certain covenants that restrict the Company's

| 17 |

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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). Accordingly, the Company does not expect combined borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program and Global Credit Facility to exceed $750 million. Commercial Paper Program borrowings may be used to support the Company's general working capital and corporate needs. Maturities of commercial paper notes vary, but cannot exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Commercial paper notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program rank equally in seniority with the Company's other forms of unsecured indebtedness. As of both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Global Credit Facility
In June 2023, the Company terminated its then existing 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 may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, certain investments, general corporate purposes, and for funding of 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. In accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the Global Credit Facility, the Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the Global Credit Facility 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.
Borrowings under the Global Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rate or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (the "Term Benchmark Rate") plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Term Benchmark Rate loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the "Pricing Grid"), which is included in the definition of "Applicable Rate" within the Global Credit Facility agreement and is based on ratings for the Company's senior, unsecured long-term indebtedness provided by established ratings agencies. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Global Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee, calculated at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, on the average daily unused amount of the Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, and certain fees with respect to Letters of Credit that are issued. The current commitment fee rate of 8 basis points is subject to adjustment based on the Company's credit ratings. As of July 1, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Global Credit Facility, nor were there any borrowings outstanding as of April 1, 2023 under the Company's previous facility. However, the Company was contingently liable for $11.9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023.
The Global Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability, subject to specified exceptions, to incur additional debt; incur liens; sell or dispose of assets; merge with or acquire other companies; liquidate or dissolve itself; engage in businesses that are not in a related line of business; make loans, advances, or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain investments. The Global Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of Adjusted Debt to Consolidated EBITDAR (the "leverage ratio") of no greater than 4.25 as of the date of measurement for the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters. Adjusted Debt is defined generally as consolidated debt outstanding, including finance lease obligations, plus all operating lease obligations. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined generally as consolidated net income plus (i) income tax expense, (ii) net interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) operating lease cost, (v) restructuring and other non-recurring expenses, and (vi) acquisition-related costs.

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Global Credit Facility, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate the Global Credit Facility, and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Global Credit Facility specifies various events of default (many of which are subject to applicable grace periods), including, among others, the failure to make timely principal, interest, and fee payments or to satisfy the covenants, including the financial covenant described above. Additionally, the Global Credit Facility provides that an Event of Default will occur if Mr. Ralph Lauren, the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, and entities controlled by the Lauren family fail to maintain a specified minimum percentage of the voting power of the Company's common stock. As of July 1, 2023, no Event of Default (as such term is defined pursuant to the Global Credit Facility) has occurred under the Company's Global Credit Facility.
Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries in Asia have uncommitted credit facilities with regional branches of JPMorgan Chase in China and South Korea (the "Pan-Asia Credit Facilities"). Additionally, the Company's Japan and China subsidiaries have uncommitted overdraft facilities with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and HSBC Bank Company Limited, respectively, (the "Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities"). The Pan-Asia Credit Facilities and the Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities (collectively, the "Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities") are subject to annual renewal and may be used to fund general working capital needs of the Company's operations in the respective countries. Borrowings under the Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities are guaranteed by the parent company and are granted at the sole discretion of the respective banks, subject to availability of the banks' funds and satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements. The Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities do not contain any financial covenants.
A summary of the Company's Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities by country 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 $13 million) through April 3, 2024, which is also able to be used to support bank guarantees.
•South Korea Credit Facility — provides Ralph Lauren (Korea) Ltd. with a revolving line of credit of up to 30 billion South Korean Won (approximately $23 million) through October 27, 2023.
•Japan Overdraft Facility — provides Ralph Lauren Corporation Japan with an overdraft amount of up to 5 billion Japanese Yen (approximately $35 million) through April 30, 2024.
•China Overdraft Facility — provided Ralph Lauren Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. with an overdraft amount of up to 100 million Chinese Renminbi (approximately $13 million) through July 21, 2023.
As of both July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Pan-Asia Borrowing Facilities.

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:

|  | July 1, 2023 |  | April 1, 2023
|  | (millions)
Derivative assets(a) |  | $ | 35.4 |  |  | $ | 44.5 |
Derivative liabilities(a) |  | 2.8 |  |  | 5.7 |

(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 Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and time deposits are recorded at carrying value, which generally approximates fair value based on Level 1 measurements.
The Company's debt instruments are recorded at their 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. Due to 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 values.

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION

The following table summarizes the carrying values and the estimated fair values of the Company's debt instruments:

(a)See Note 9 for discussion of the carrying values of the Company's senior notes.
(b)Based on Level 2 measurements.
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 value 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 impairment charges were recorded during either of the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 or July 2, 2022.
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.
The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding derivative instruments recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023:

Risk Management Strategies
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
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, 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 South Korean Won, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Chinese Renminbi, the Company generally hedges a portion of its related exposures anticipated over the next twelve months 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.
See Note 3 for further discussion of the Company's accounting policies relating to its derivative financial instruments.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims, and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to its business, including, among other things, matters involving credit card fraud, trademark and other intellectual property, licensing, importation and exportation of its products, taxation, unclaimed property, leases, and employee relations.

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.
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into certain guarantees or other agreements that provide general indemnifications.

15. Stock-based Compensation
The Company's stock-based compensation awards are currently issued under the 2019 Incentive Plan, which was approved by its stockholders on August 1, 2019. However, any prior awards granted under either the Company's 2010 Incentive Plan or 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 18 of the Fiscal 2023 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 July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 is as follows:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended

Income tax benefit |  |  |  |  |  | (3.3) |  |  | (2.8) |

The Company issues its annual grants of stock-based compensation awards in the first half 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 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 $114.21 and $89.99 per share during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

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 such awards were granted during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022.

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 2023 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. Each segment's performance is evaluated based upon net revenues and operating income before restructuring-related charges, impairment of assets, and certain other one-time items, if any. 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 advertising and marketing expenses, depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, and other general and administrative expenses resulting from corporate-level activities and projects.
Net revenues for each of the Company's segments are as follows:

OVERVIEW
Our Business
Our Company is a global leader in the design, marketing, and distribution of luxury lifestyle products, including apparel, footwear & accessories, home, fragrances, 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, Polo Ralph Lauren, Double RL, Lauren 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 the right to access our various trademarks in connection with the licensees' manufacture and sale of designated products, such as certain apparel, eyewear, fragrances, and home.
We organize our business into the following three reportable segments:
•North America — Our North America segment, representing approximately 47% of our Fiscal 2023 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 site, www.RalphLauren.com. 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 29% of our Fiscal 2023 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 partners.
•Asia — Our Asia segment, representing approximately 22% of our Fiscal 2023 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, with related products distributed through shop-within-shops.
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 2023 net revenues, which primarily consist of Ralph Lauren and Chaps branded royalty revenues earned through our global licensing alliances.
Approximately 53% of our Fiscal 2023 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 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 July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows that may be expected for the full Fiscal 2024.

| 35 |

Global Economic Conditions and Industry Trends
The global economy and retail industry are impacted by many different factors. For example, changes in economic conditions in the U.S., most notably inflationary pressures (including increases in the cost of raw materials, transportation, and salaries & benefits), rising interest rates, significant foreign currency volatility, recent bank failures, and concerns of a potential recession, continue to impact consumer discretionary income levels, spending, and sentiment in the U.S. and beyond. In response to such pressures, as well as in an effort to reduce elevated inventory levels, many U.S. retailers have become increasingly more promotional in an attempt to offset traffic declines and increase conversion. Certain other worldwide events and factors, such as international trade relations, new legislation and regulations, taxation or monetary policy changes, political and civil unrest, and growing diplomatic tensions, among other factors, have also adversely impacted the global economy. The continuation of these trends could have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results.
The global economy has also been negatively impacted by the Russia-Ukraine war. Several countries including the U.S. have imposed significant economic sanctions against Russia, including export controls and other trade restrictions with Russian entities. We have also voluntarily elected to suspend operations in Russia. While the suspension of our operations in Russia has not resulted in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, our business has been impacted by the broader macroeconomic implications resulting from the war, including unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, increases in energy prices, food shortages, and volatility in financial markets, among other factors, which have adversely impacted consumer sentiment and confidence. It is not clear at this time how long the conflict will endure, or if it will escalate further with additional countries declaring war against each other, which could further compound the adverse impact to the global economy.
We have implemented various strategies globally to help address many of these current challenges and continue to build a foundation for long-term profitable growth centered around strengthening our consumer-facing areas of product, stores, and marketing across channels and driving a more efficient operating model. Our strategy for mitigating inflationary pressures includes numerous levers, including our commitment to driving average unit retail growth, leveraging our diversified supply chain and strong supplier relationships, elevating our product sustainability efforts, and leveraging our in-house quality control to reduce time and cost from the manufacturing process, among other efforts. We have also taken earlier receipts of inventory and strategically utilize faster means of transportation when necessary to maximize full-price selling windows. While we remain agile and mindful of the increasing competitive promotional environment, we plan to continue driving our broader long-term strategy of brand elevation, which includes multiple levers to continue driving average unit retail growth and brand equity.
We will continue to monitor these conditions and trends and will evaluate and adjust our operating strategies and foreign currency and cost management opportunities to help mitigate the related impacts on our results of operations, while remaining focused on the long-term growth of our business and protecting and elevating the value of our brand.
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 2023 10-K.
Summary of Financial Performance
Operating Results
During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we reported net revenues of $1.496 billion, net income of $132.1 million, and net income per diluted share of $1.96, as compared to net revenues of $1.491 billion, net income of $123.4 million, and net income per diluted share of $1.73 during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The comparability of our operating results has been affected by net restructuring-related charges and certain other benefits (charges). We also continue to experience varying degrees of business disruptions resulting from the current macroeconomic environment, including ongoing inflationary pressures, the war in Ukraine, and foreign currency volatility.
Our operating performance for the three months ended July 1, 2023 reflected revenue increases of 0.4% on a reported basis and 1.2% on a constant currency basis, as defined within "Transactions and Trends Affecting Comparability of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" below. Net revenue growth was driven by our international businesses, which more than offset declines in North America.
Our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased by 180 basis points to 69.0% during the three months ended July 1, 2023, primarily driven by lower non-routine inventory charges recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, lower freight costs, favorable geographic and channel mix, and higher pricing, partially offset by higher product costs and unfavorable foreign currency effects.

| 36 |

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net revenues during the three months ended July 1, 2023 increased by 50 basis points to 55.5%, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses and rent and occupancy costs, partially offset by lower marketing and advertising expenses resulting from a shift in timing of certain marketing investments.
Net income increased by $8.7 million to $132.1 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022, primarily due to a $17.2 million increase in non-operating income, net, partially offset by an $8.8 million decline in our operating income. Net income per diluted share increased by $0.23 to $1.96 per share during the three months ended July 1, 2023 driven by the higher level of net income and lower weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.
During the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, our operating results were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $33.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively, which had an after-tax effect of reducing net income by $25.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, and $11.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, respectively.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We ended the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 in a net cash and short-term investments position (calculated as cash and cash equivalents, plus short-term investments, less total debt) of $541.3 million, as compared to $427.2 million as of the end of Fiscal 2023. The increase in our net cash and short-term investments position was primarily due to our operating cash flows of $270.7 million, partially offset by our use of cash to support Class A common stock repurchases of $56.8 million, including withholdings in satisfaction of tax obligations for stock-based compensation awards, to make dividend payments of $49.2 million, and to invest in our business through $39.6 million in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $270.7 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to $45.3 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The 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, partially offset by a decline in net income before non-cash charges.
Our equity increased to $2.441 billion as of July 1, 2023 compared to $2.431 billion as of April 1, 2023 due to our comprehensive income and the net impact of stock-based compensation arrangements, partially offset by our share repurchase activity and dividends declared during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
Transactions and Trends Affecting Comparability of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The comparability of our operating results for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 has been affected by certain events, including:
•pretax charges incurred in connection with our restructuring activities, as well as certain other benefits (charges), as summarized below (references to "Notes" are to the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements):

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended
|  |  |  |  |  | July 1, 2023 |  | July 2, 2022
|  |  |  |  |  | (millions)
Restructuring and other charges, net (see Note 7) |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (35.6) |  |  | $ | (5.6) |
Non-routine inventory benefits (charges)(a) |  |  |  |  |  | 1.8 |  |  | (11.6) |
Non-routine bad debt expense reversals(b) |  |  |  |  |  | 0.1 |  |  | 2.4 |
Total charges |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (33.7) |  |  | $ | (14.8) |

(a)Non-routine inventory benefits (charges) are recorded within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. The benefits recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 primarily related to reversals of amounts previously recognized in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic (approximately $1 million) and delays in U.S. customs shipment reviews and approvals (approximately $1 million). The charges recorded during the three months ended July 2, 2022 primarily related to the Russia-Ukraine war.

| 37 |

(b)Non-routine bad debt expense reversals are recorded within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The reversals recorded during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 primarily related to charges previously recognized in connection with the Russia-Ukraine war.
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 decreased by $69.0 million, or 9.8%, during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. On a constant currency basis, net revenues decreased by $67.4 million, or 9.6%.
The $69.0 million decline in North America net revenues was driven by:
•a $42.2 million decrease related to our North America wholesale business largely driven by the return to a more normalized timing of shipments following last year's supply chain disruption; and
•a $26.8 million decrease related to our North America retail business. On a constant currency basis, net revenues decreased by $25.8 million, reflecting decreases of $23.5 million in comparable store sales and $2.3 million in non-comparable store sales. The following table summarizes the percentage change in comparable store sales related to our North America retail business:

|  | % Change
Digital commerce |  | (8 | %)
Brick and mortar |  | (5 | %)
Total comparable store sales |  | (6 | %)

Europe net revenues — Net revenues increased by $34.9 million, or 8.4%, during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $29.5 million, or 7.1%.
The $34.9 million increase in Europe net revenues was driven by:
•a $24.1 million increase related to our Europe wholesale business largely driven by a shift in timing of certain shipments into the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, as well as favorable foreign currency effects of $2.7 million; and
•a $10.8 million increase related to our Europe retail business, inclusive of favorable foreign currency effects of $2.7 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $8.1 million, reflecting increases of $5.1 million in comparable store sales and $3.0 million in non-comparable store sales. The following table summarizes the percentage change in comparable store sales related to our Europe retail business:

|  | % Change
Digital commerce |  | 8 | %
Brick and mortar |  | 1 | %
Total comparable store sales |  | 2 | %

Asia net revenues — Net revenues increased by $43.4 million, or 13.0%, during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 2, 2022. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $59.0 million, or 17.7%.
The $43.4 million increase in Asia net revenues was driven by:
•a $38.2 million increase related to our Asia retail business, inclusive of unfavorable foreign currency effects of $14.6 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by $52.8 million, reflecting increases of $34.2 million in comparable store sales and $18.6 million in non-comparable store sales. The following table summarizes the percentage change in comparable store sales related to our Asia retail business:

|  | % Change
Digital commerce |  | 11 | %
Brick and mortar |  | 14 | %
Total comparable store sales |  | 13 | %

•a $5.2 million increase related to our Asia wholesale business, inclusive of unfavorable foreign currency effects of $1.0 million.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $30.6 million, or 3.1%, to $1.032 billion for the three months ended July 1, 2023, including unfavorable foreign currency effects of $15.2 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 69.0% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 from 67.2% for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The 180 basis point increase was primarily driven by lower non-routine inventory charges recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, lower freight costs, favorable geographic and channel mix, and higher pricing, partially offset by higher product costs and unfavorable foreign currency effects.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues is dependent upon a variety of factors, including changes in the relative sales mix among distribution channels, changes in the mix of products sold, pricing, the timing and level of promotional activities, foreign currency exchange rates, and fluctuations in material costs. These factors, among others, may cause gross profit as a percentage of net revenues to fluctuate from period to period.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses include costs relating to compensation and benefits, advertising and marketing, rent and occupancy, distribution, information technology, legal, depreciation and amortization, bad debt, and other selling and administrative costs. SG&A expenses increased by $9.4 million, or 1.2%, to $830.0 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, including favorable foreign currency effects of $8.1 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 55.5% for the three months ended July 1, 2023 from 55.0% for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The 50 basis point increase was largely driven by operating deleverage as SG&A expense growth outpaced revenue growth.

Total net increase in SG&A expenses |  | $ | 9.4 |

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net. During the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, we recorded net restructuring charges and benefits of $30.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, primarily consisting of severance and benefits costs, as well as other charges of $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, primarily related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired. See Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased by $8.8 million, or 5.0%, to $166.4 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, reflecting unfavorable foreign currency effects of $7.1 million. Our operating results during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $33.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues was 11.1% for the three months ended July 1, 2023, reflecting a 70 basis point decline from the prior fiscal year period. The decline in operating income as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by higher net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, as well as the increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues, partially offset by the increase in our gross margin, all as previously discussed.
Operating income and margin for our segments, as well as a discussion of the changes in each reportable segment's operating margin from the comparable prior fiscal year period, are provided below:

North America operating margin improved by 80 basis points, primarily due to the favorable impact of 140 basis points attributable to lower non-routine inventory charges recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period. The overall improvement in operating margin was partly offset by the net unfavorable impact of approximately 60 basis points largely driven by an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues, partially offset by an increase in gross margin.

| 42 |

Europe operating margin improved by 400 basis points, primarily due to the favorable impact of 420 basis points largely driven by a decline in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues and an increase in gross margin. The overall improvement in operating margin also reflected the favorable impact of 20 basis points related to lower non-routine inventory charges and bad debt expense adjustments recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period. These improvements in operating margin were partly offset by unfavorable foreign currency effects of 40 basis points.
Asia operating margin improved by 120 basis points, primarily due to the net favorable impact of approximately 190 basis points largely driven by a decline in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues, partially offset by a decline in gross margin. This improvement in operating margin was partly offset by unfavorable foreign currency effects of 70 basis points.
Unallocated corporate expenses increased by $6.5 million to $147.6 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses was due to higher compensation-related expenses of $13.0 million and lower intercompany sourcing commission income of $8.7 million (which is offset at the segment level and eliminates in consolidation), partially offset by lower consulting fees of $3.1 million, lower marketing and advertising expenses of $2.5 million, lower selling-related expenses of $2.4 million, and lower other expenses of $7.2 million.
Unallocated restructuring and other charges, net increased by $30.0 million to $35.6 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as previously discussed above and in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
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 July 1, 2023, we reported non-operating income, net of $4.2 million as compared to non-operating expense, net of $13.0 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $17.2 million increase in non-operating income, net was driven by:
•a $12.1 million increase in interest income, primarily driven by higher interest rates in financial markets;
•a $3.3 million decline in other expense, net, primarily driven by lower net foreign currency losses during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period; and
•a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense, primarily driven by the lower average level of outstanding debt during the three months ended July 1, 2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period resulting from our repayment of the 1.700% Senior Notes that matured on June 15, 2022 (see "Financial Condition and Liquidity — Cash Flows").
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 July 1, 2023 were $38.5 million and 22.6%, respectively, compared to $38.8 million and 23.9%, respectively, for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $0.3 million decrease in our income tax provision was driven by a 130 basis point decline in our effective tax rate, partially offset by the increase in our pretax income. The decline in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the absence of unfavorable prior year adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and receivables as well as an increase of the favorable tax impact of earnings generated in lower taxed foreign jurisdictions versus the U.S., partially offset by the absence of favorable audit-related adjustments taken in the prior year. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Net Income. Net income increased to $132.1 million for the three months ended July 1, 2023, from $123.4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $8.7 million increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in non-operating income, net, partially offset by the decline in our operating income, both as previously discussed. Our operating results during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were negatively impacted by net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits) totaling $33.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively, which had an after-tax effect of reducing net income by $25.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively.
Net Income per Diluted Share. Net income per diluted share increased to $1.96 for the three months ended July 1, 2023, from $1.73 for the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $0.23 per share increase was driven by the higher level of net income, as previously discussed, and lower weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the three months ended July 1, 2023 driven by our share repurchases during the last twelve months. Net income per diluted share for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were also negatively impacted by $0.38 per share and $0.15 per share, respectively, attributable to net restructuring-related charges and certain other charges (benefits), as previously discussed.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Financial Condition
The following table presents our financial condition as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023:

|  | July 1, 2023 |  | April 1, 2023 |  | $ Change
|  | (millions)
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,607.2 |  |  | $ | 1,529.3 |  |  | $ | 77.9 |
Short-term investments |  | 73.1 |  |  | 36.4 |  |  | 36.7 |
Long-term debt(a) |  | (1,139.0) |  |  | (1,138.5) |  |  | (0.5) |
Net cash and short-term investments |  | $ | 541.3 |  |  | $ | 427.2 |  |  | $ | 114.1 |
Equity |  | $ | 2,441.0 |  |  | $ | 2,430.5 |  |  | $ | 10.5 |

(a)See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the carrying values of our debt.
The increase in our net cash and short-term investments position at July 1, 2023 as compared to April 1, 2023 was primarily due to our operating cash flows of $270.7 million, partially offset by our use of cash to support Class A common stock repurchases of $56.8 million, including withholdings in satisfaction of tax obligations for stock-based compensation awards, to make dividend payments of $49.2 million, and to invest in our business through $39.6 million in capital expenditures.
The increase in our equity was attributable to our comprehensive income and the net impact of stock-based compensation arrangements, partially offset by our share repurchase activity and dividends declared during the three months ended July 1, 2023.
Cash Flows
The following table details our cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |
|  | July 1, 2023 |  | July 2, 2022 |  | $ Change
|  | (millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 270.7 |  |  | $ | 45.3 |  |  | $ | 225.4 |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities |  | (77.5) |  |  | 365.6 |  |  | (443.1) |
Net cash used in financing activities |  | (112.0) |  |  | (788.6) |  |  | 676.6 |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash |  | (3.9) |  |  | (30.0) |  |  | 26.1 |
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash |  | $ | 77.3 |  |  | $ | (407.7) |  |  | $ | 485.0 |

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $270.7 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to $45.3 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $225.4 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, partially offset by a decline 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 favorable change related to our inventories, largely driven by a more normalized receipt cadence;
•a favorable change related to our accounts receivable, largely driven by a decline in wholesale net revenues and timing of cash receipts;

| 44 |

•a net favorable change in our accrued liabilities largely driven by the impact of a lower bonus achievement level realized during Fiscal 2023 as compared to Fiscal 2022, as well as a favorable change in our restructuring reserve due to an increase in restructuring charges recorded during the current fiscal year period as compared to the prior fiscal year period, partially offset by an unfavorable change in accounts payable driven by the timing of cash payments; and
•a favorable change related to our prepaid expenses and other current assets, largely driven by the timing of cash payments.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $77.5 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $365.6 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $443.1 million net increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by:
•a $448.9 million decrease in proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, less purchases of investments. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we made net investment purchases of $37.9 million, as compared to receiving net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $411.0 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022.
During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we spent $39.6 million on capital expenditures, which was up slightly versus the comparable prior fiscal year period. Over the course of Fiscal 2024, we expect to spend approximately $250 million to $275 million on capital expenditures primarily related to store opening and renovations, as well as enhancements to our information technology systems.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $112.0 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to $788.6 million during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The $676.6 million net decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by:
•a $500.0 million decrease in cash used to repay debt. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we did not issue or repay any debt. On a comparative basis, during the three months ended July 2, 2022, we repaid our previously outstanding $500.0 million principal amount of unsecured 1.700% senior notes that matured on June 15, 2022; and
•a $177.9 million decrease in cash used to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we used $50.0 million to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our common stock repurchase program, and an additional $6.8 million in shares of our Class A common stock were surrendered or withheld in satisfaction of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of awards under our long-term stock incentive plans. On a comparative basis, during the three months ended July 2, 2022, we used $213.3 million to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our common stock repurchase program, and an additional $21.4 million in shares of our Class A common stock were surrendered or withheld for taxes.
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 and overdraft facilities and commercial paper program, and other available financing options.
During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we generated $270.7 million of net cash flows from our operations. As of July 1, 2023, we had $1.680 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, of which $820.7 million 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 (the "TCJA") 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, borrowings outstanding, and remaining availability under our credit and overdraft facilities and Commercial Paper Program as of July 1, 2023:

|  | July 1, 2023
Description(a) |  | Total Availability |  | Borrowings Outstanding |  | Remaining Availability
|  | (millions)
Global Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program(b) |  | $ | 750 |  |  | $ | 12 |  | (c) | $ | 738 |
Pan-Asia Credit Facilities |  | 36 |  |  | — |  |  | 36 |
Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities |  | 48 |  |  | — |  |  | 48 |

(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. Accordingly, we do not expect combined borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program and the Global Credit Facility to exceed $750 million.
(c)Represents outstanding letters of credit for which we were contingently liable under the Global Credit Facility as of July 1, 2023.
We believe that the Global Credit Facility is adequately diversified with no undue concentration in any one financial institution. In particular, as of July 1, 2023, there were seven financial institutions participating in the Global Credit Facility, with no one participant maintaining a maximum commitment percentage in excess of 20%. 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 and Pan-Asia Overdraft Facilities (collectively, the "Pan-Asia Borrowing 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 Borrowing 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, acquisitions, payment of dividends, 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 11 of the Fiscal 2023 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 are generally due within 90 days) to a participating financial institution in exchange for receipt of a discounted payment amount made earlier than the payment term 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 $212.3 million and $122.2 million as of July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, and were recorded within accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

| 46 |

Debt and Covenant Compliance
In August 2018, we completed a registered public debt offering and issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due September 15, 2025, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.750%, payable semi-annually (the "3.750% Senior Notes"). In June 2020, we completed another registered public debt offering and issued an additional $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 indenture and supplemental indentures governing the 3.750% Senior Notes and 2.950% 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 may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, certain investments, general corporate purposes, and for funding of 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 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 July 1, 2023, 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 Borrowing Facilities do not contain any financial covenants.
See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 11 of the Fiscal 2023 10-K for additional information relating to our debt and covenant compliance.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On February 2, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing common stock repurchase program that allowed us to repurchase up to an additional $1.500 billion of our Class A common stock, excluding related excise taxes. As of July 1, 2023, the remaining availability under our Class A common stock repurchase program was approximately $1.125 billion. Repurchases of shares of our Class A common stock are subject to overall business and market conditions.
As discussed in Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was signed into law by President Biden in August 2022. Among its various provisions, the IRA imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases made after December 31, 2022.
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 18, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend on our common stock from $0.6875 to $0.75 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.

| 47 |

Material Cash Requirements
There have been no substantial changes to our material cash requirements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2023 10-K, other than those which occur in the ordinary course of business. Refer to the "Financial Condition and Liquidity — Contractual and Other Obligations" section of the MD&A in our Fiscal 2023 10-K for detailed disclosure of our material cash requirements as of April 1, 2023.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
As discussed in Note 13 of the Fiscal 2023 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 July 1, 2023. However, we do have in aggregate $37.1 million of derivative instruments in net asset positions held across four creditworthy financial institutions.
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 July 1, 2023.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
We enter into 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 South Korean Won, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Chinese Renminbi, we generally hedge a portion of our related exposures anticipated over the next twelve months 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 July 1, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents on-hand of $1.607 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 $73.1 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 July 1, 2023.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Fiscal 2023 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 2023 10-K.
There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies since April 1, 2023.

See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a description of certain recently issued accounting standards which have impacted our consolidated financial statements, or may impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk, see "Market Risk Management" presented in Part I, Item 2 — MD&A of this Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We carried out an evaluation based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 1, 2023.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
