The Company’s goodwill and its Jimmy Choo brand are not subject to amortization but are evaluated for impairment annually in the last quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever impairment indicators exist. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis.
The Company performed its goodwill impairment assessment for its Michael Kors reporting units using a qualitative assessment. Based on the results of the Company’s qualitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of each of the Michael Kors’ reporting units was less than their carrying values and, therefore, were not impaired.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis for the Jimmy Choo reporting units, electing to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeding directly to the quantitative impairment analysis using a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of the brand’s reporting units. The Company also elected to perform a quantitative impairment analysis for the Jimmy Choo brand indefinite-lived intangible asset using an income approach to estimate its fair
value. Based on the results of these assessments, the Company determined there was no impairment for Jimmy Choo as the fair value of the reporting units goodwill and brand indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their related carrying amounts.
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 statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
