Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment and make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. The most significant assumptions and estimates involved in preparing the financial statements include allowances for customer deductions, sales returns, credit losses, estimates of inventory net realizable value, the valuation of deferred taxes, goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment, along with the estimated useful lives assigned to these assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Seasonality
The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company generally experiences greater sales during its third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by holiday season sales.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for contracts with its customers when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. The Company recognizes retail store revenues when control of the product is transferred at the point of sale at Company owned stores, including concessions, net of estimated returns. Revenue from sales through the Company’s e-commerce sites is recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, reduced by an estimate of returns. Wholesale revenue is recognized net of estimates for sales returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances, after merchandise is shipped and control of the underlying product is transferred to the Company’s wholesale customers. To arrive at net sales for retail revenue, gross sales are reduced by actual customer returns as well as by a provision for estimated future customer returns, which is based on management’s review of historical and future customer return expectations. Sales tax collected from retail customers is presented on a net basis and, as such, is excluded from revenue. To arrive at net sales for wholesale revenue, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimated future returns, based on current expectations, as well as trade discounts, markdowns, allowances, operational chargebacks and certain cooperative selling expenses. These estimates are based on factors such as historical trends, actual and forecasted performance and current market conditions, which are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.
Royalty revenue generated from product licenses, which includes contributions for advertising, is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing the Company’s trademarks at rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels. Royalty revenue generated by geographic licensing agreements is recognized as it is earned under the licensing agreements based on reported sales of licensees applicable to specified periods, as outlined in the agreements. These agreements allow for the use of the Company’s tradenames to sell its branded products in specific geographic regions.
The following table details the activity and balances of the Company’s sales reserves for the fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024 (in millions):

Loyalty Program
The Company offers a loyalty program, which allows its Michael Kors North America customers to earn points on qualifying purchases toward monetary and non-monetary rewards, which may be redeemed for purchases at Michael Kors retail stores and e-commerce sites. The Company defers a portion of the initial sales transaction based on the estimated relative fair value of the benefits based on projected timing of future redemptions and historical activity. These amounts include estimated “breakage” for points that are not expected to be redeemed. The contract liability, net of an estimated “breakage,” is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is expected to be recognized within the next 12 months.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed when the advertisement is first exhibited and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Advertising and marketing expense was $285 million, $298 million and $313 million in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively.
Cooperative advertising expense, which represents the Company’s participation in advertising expenses of its wholesale customers, is reflected as a reduction to revenue. Expenses related to cooperative advertising for Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, were $6 million, $8 million and $5 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Inbound freight expenses are recorded as part of cost of goods sold, along with product costs and other costs to acquire inventory. The costs of preparing products for sale, including warehousing expenses, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Outbound freight expenses are recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses and include the costs of shipping products to the Company’s e-commerce customers. Shipping and handling costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income were $201 million, $228 million and $228 million for Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total revenue.
U.S. Import Tariffs
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") does not provide the U.S. executive branch of government the authority to impose import tariffs, which invalidated the IEEPA tariffs imposed in April of 2025 (the "IEEPA Tariffs"). Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ordered the United States Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to begin providing refunds to all importers of record whose entries were subject to the IEEPA Tariffs. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) system intended to automate and expedite the refund of the IEEPA Tariffs. Shortly after the launch of the CAPE system, the Company submitted its CAPE declaration for all entries currently eligible for CAPE.
During Fiscal 2026, the Company paid approximately $65 million of IEEPA Tariffs. The Company is accounting for the IEEPA Tariff refunds pursuant to ASC 410-30, Environmental Obligations. As of March 28, 2026, the Company intended to recover all the IEEPA Tariffs previously paid and has recorded an IEEPA Tariff refund receivable of $65 million. The IEEPA Tariff refund receivable is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Of this
total amount, $40 million was recorded as a reduction to Fiscal 2026 cost of goods sold and $25 million was recorded as a reduction to Inventory as of March 28, 2026.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 are credit card receivables of $18 million and $20 million, respectively, which generally settle within two to three business days.
A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 from the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows from continuing operations$145 $116 
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of finished goods with the exception of raw materials and work in process. The combined total of raw materials and work in process recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $20 million as of March 28, 2026 and $17 million as of March 29, 2025. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Costs include amounts paid to independent manufacturers, plus duties, tariffs and freight to bring the goods to the Company’s warehouses, as well as shipments to stores. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory and makes adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The net realizable value of the Company’s inventory is estimated based on historical experience, current and forecasted demand and other market conditions. In addition, reserves for inventory losses are estimated based on historical experience and physical inventory counts. The Company’s inventory reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. The Company’s historical estimates have not differed materially from actual results.
Store Pre-opening Costs
Costs associated with the opening of new retail stores and start up activities are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization (carrying value). Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected remaining useful lives of the related assets. Equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five to seven years, computer hardware and software are depreciated over three to five years. The Company’s share of the cost of constructing in-store shop displays within its wholesale customers’ floor-space (“shop-in-shops”), which is paid directly to third-party suppliers, is capitalized as property and equipment and is generally amortized over a useful life of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated remaining useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term, including reasonably assured renewals. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company capitalizes, in property and equipment, direct costs incurred during the application development stage and the implementation stage for developing, purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for its internal use. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally five years, except for ERP systems which have an estimated useful life of ten years. All costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, including project scoping and identification and testing of alternatives, are expensed as incurred.
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of reacquired rights, customer relationships and trademarks which are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company’s customer relationships are amortized over five to eighteen years. Reacquired rights recorded in connection with the acquisition of Michael Kors (HK) Limited and Subsidiaries are amortized through March 31, 2041, the original expiration date of the Michael Kors license agreement in the Greater China region.
Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates all long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, the Company groups long-lived assets at the lowest level of identifiable cash flow. Leasehold improvements are typically amortized over the term of the store lease, including reasonably assured renewals and the shop-in-shops are amortized over a useful life of three to five years. The Company’s impairment testing is based on its best estimate of the future operating cash flows. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment charge, which is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair values determined by management require significant judgment and include certain assumptions regarding future sales and expense growth rates, discount rates and estimates of real estate market fair values. As such, these estimates may differ from actual results and are affected by future market and economic conditions.
During Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of $40 million, $61 million and $32 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets of retail store locations. Refer to Note 9 - “Property and Equipment, Net” and Note 15 - “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company records intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The brand intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Jimmy Choo were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill, as well as the Jimmy Choo brand intangible assets on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill and the Jimmy Choo brand are assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on various factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and operational performance of the business.
The Company may assess its goodwill and its brand intangible assets for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses various factors, including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of its businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed to determine if impairment is required. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill and its indefinite-lived intangible assets initially rather than using a qualitative approach.
The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company uses industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management and, in certain instances, it engages independent third-party valuation specialists. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches, when applicable. The Company believes the blended use of both models, when applicable, compensates for the inherent risk associated with either model if used on a stand-alone basis, and this combination is indicative of the factors a market participant would consider when performing a similar valuation. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. These valuations are affected by certain estimates, including future revenue growth rates, future operating expense growth rates, gross margins, discount rates and market multiples. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and goodwill may be impaired.
When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of brand intangible assets, the fair value of the Jimmy Choo brand is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the “relief from royalty” method, assuming that a third-party would be willing to pay a royalty in lieu of ownership for this intangible asset. This approach is dependent on many factors, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the brand intangible assets is less than its carrying amount.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis. Based on a qualitative impairment assessment of the goodwill for the Michael Kors reporting units, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair values were less than its carrying values and, therefore, were not impaired. Based on the results of quantitative assessments of the Jimmy Choo reporting units’ goodwill and brand indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company determined that the fair value exceeded the related carrying values and therefore were not impaired. Refer to Note 10 - “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for additional information.
In Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $66 million related to the Jimmy Choo Wholesale reporting unit and $15 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets. In Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $192 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale reporting units and $70 million related to the Jimmy Choo Retail and Wholesale brand intangible assets. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024. Refer to Note 10 - “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for information relating to the Company’s annual impairment analysis performed during Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
It is possible that the Company’s conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets could change in future periods if, for example, (i) the Company’s businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in future years vary from current assumptions, (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, (iv) discount rates change, (v) market multiples change or (vi) the identification of the Company’s reporting units change, among other factors. Such changes could result in future impairment charges to goodwill and/or other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Insurance
The Company uses a combination of third-party insurance coverage and self-insurance programs, including a wholly-owned captive insurance entity, to mitigate certain risks, including workers’ compensation and employee-related health care benefits. The Company also maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit its exposure arising from certain claims. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the discounted cost for self-insured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions, historical loss experience, actual payroll and other data. Although the Company believes that it can reasonably estimate losses related to these claims, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company also maintains other types of customary business insurance policies, including general liability, directors and officers, marine transport and inventory and business interruption insurance. Insurance recoveries represent gain contingencies and are recorded upon actual settlement with the insurance carrier.
Share-based Compensation
The Company grants share-based awards to certain employees and directors of the Company. The closing market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant is used to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares, time-based restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. These fair values are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, based on expected attainment of pre-established performance goals for performance grants, or the passage of time for those grants which have only time-based vesting requirements.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial statements of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“USD”) for Capri and its United States based subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates over the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded separately in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign currency income and loss resulting from the re-measuring of transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular
entity are included in foreign currency (gain) loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies for certain transactions. The Company, in its normal course of business, enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to these transactions. The Company employs these forward contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others may remain undesignated. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a gross basis, regardless of their hedge designation.
The Company designates certain contracts related to the purchase of inventory that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. Formal hedge documentation is prepared for all derivative instruments designated as hedges, including a description of the hedged transaction, the hedging instrument and the risk being hedged. The changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item affects earnings. When the inventory related to forecasted inventory purchases that are being hedged is sold to a third-party, the gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges, which compares the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument to the change in the related hedged item. If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective, future changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. For those contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded to foreign currency (gain) loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to the purchase of inventory consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash flows from operating activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and certain other financial factors, adhering to established limits for credit exposure. The aforementioned forward contracts generally have a term less than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the transactions they are intended to hedge.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company also uses cross currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between different currencies. The Company has elected the spot method of designating these contracts under ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” and has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. The net gain or loss on the net investment hedge is reported within foreign currency translation adjustments (“CTA”), as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest (income) expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Upon discontinuation of a hedge, all previously recognized amounts remain in CTA until the net investment is sold or liquidated.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of its cash flows resulting from floating interest rates on the Company’s borrowings. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are reclassified into interest (income) expense, net, in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Fair Value Hedges
When a cross-currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge and qualifies as highly effective, it will be recorded at fair value each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with the difference resulting from the changes in the spot rate recognized in foreign currency (gain) loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, which will offset the earnings impact of the original transaction being hedged. If the fair value hedge is terminated and the underlying intercompany loans are settled, the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) remaining from the hedge at the time of termination will be reclassified to foreign currency (gain) loss on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities provide for temporary differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the tax rates and laws in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company periodically assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, based on the results of local, state, federal or foreign statutory tax audits or estimates and judgments used.
Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration in the applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and provides valuation allowances, as deemed necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more-likely-than-not will be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings within various taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods remaining and other factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if the Company’s estimates of taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are no longer viable.
The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The tax positions are analyzed at least quarterly and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments for those positions. The Company records interest expense and penalties payable to relevant tax authorities as income tax expense.
Leases
The Company leases retail stores, office space and warehouse space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through September 2043. The Company’s leases generally have terms of up to ten years, generally require fixed rent payments and may require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed negotiated amounts. Although most of the Company’s equipment is owned, the Company has limited equipment leases that expire on various dates through December 2029. The Company acts as sublessor in certain leasing arrangements, primarily related to closed stores under its restructuring initiatives. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. The Company determines the sublease term based on the date it provides possession to the subtenant through the expiration date of the sublease.
The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the leases, the economic environment of the leases and reflect the expected interest rate it would incur to borrow on a secured basis. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company generally does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s leases generally provide for payments of non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of its real estate leases together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of non-lease components in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its real estate leases. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rent based on store sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property, are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
Debt Issuance Costs and Unamortized Discounts
The Company defers debt issuance costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. These debt issuance costs and any discounts on issued debt are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, as interest expense over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing fees associated with the Company’s Revolving Credit Facilities are primarily recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing fees and unamortized discounts associated with the Company’s other borrowings are primarily recorded as an offset to long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 13 - “Debt Obligations” for additional information.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company’s basic net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if RSUs or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including share option grants, were converted or exercised into ordinary shares. These potentially dilutive securities are included in diluted shares to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods. Performance-based RSUs are included in diluted shares if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The components of the calculation of basic net income (loss) per ordinary share and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share are as follows (in millions, except share and per share data):

Noncontrolling Interest
The Company owns a 75% interest in MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries (a Michael Kors Latin America joint venture) and a 49% interest in JC Gulf Trading LLC (a Jimmy Choo EMEA joint venture), which are fully consolidated. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests not owned by the Company related to these consolidated affiliates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted the update on a prospective basis beginning with its Fiscal 2026 annual consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 19 - “Income Taxes” for the Company’s disclosures relating to this update.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and, other than the recent pronouncements discussed below, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.
Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Interim disclosures are required for periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, and retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Based upon the Company’s analysis, the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
