Restructuring and Other Charges

Retail Fleet Optimization Plan

On May 31, 2017, the Company announced that it plans to close between 100 and 125 of its Michael Kors retail stores in order to improve the profitability of its retail store fleet (“Retail Fleet Optimization Plan”). The Company anticipates finalizing the remainder of the planned store closures under the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan by the end of Fiscal 2020. The Company expects to incur approximately $100 - $125 million of one-time costs associated with these store closures. Collectively, the Company anticipates ongoing annual savings of approximately $60 million as a result of store closures and lower depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the impairment charges recorded once these initiatives are completed.

During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company closed 24 of its Michael Kors retail stores under the Retail Fleet Optimization Plan, for a total of 71 stores closed since plan inception.
