Business and Basis of Presentation
Michael Kors Holdings Limited (“MKHL,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on December 13, 2002. The Company is a leading designer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded women’s apparel and accessories and men’s apparel bearing the Michael Kors tradename and related trademarks “MICHAEL KORS,” “MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS,” and various other related trademarks and logos. The Company’s business consists of retail, wholesale and licensing segments. Retail operations consist of collection stores and lifestyle stores, including concessions and outlet stores, located primarily in the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), Europe and Japan, as well as e-commerce. Wholesale revenues are principally derived from major department and specialty stores located throughout the Americas and Europe, as well as certain of our licensees in Asia. The Company licenses its trademarks on products such as fragrances, beauty, eyewear, leather goods, jewelry, watches, coats, men’s suits, swimwear, furs and ties, as well as through geographic licenses.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements as of December 26, 2015, and for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 28, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2015, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company has historically accounted for its investment in its Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries (“MK Panama”), under the equity method of accounting. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company made a series of capital contributions to the joint venture, obtaining a controlling interest in MK Panama. As such, the Company consolidated MK Panama into its operations beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. See Note 3 for additional information.
The Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to the 52-week or 53-week period, ending on that day. Fiscal year 2016 will contain 53 weeks, whereas Fiscal 2015 contained 52 weeks. The results for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, are based on 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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, sales discounts and doubtful accounts, estimates of inventory recovery, the valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of deferred taxes and the estimated useful lives used for amortization and depreciation of intangible assets and property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Seasonality
The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its wholesale and retail segments. The Company’s wholesale segment generally experiences its greatest sales in our third and fourth fiscal quarters while its first fiscal quarter experiences the lowest sales. The Company’s retail segment generally experiences greater sales during our third fiscal quarter as a result of Holiday season sales. In the aggregate, the Company’s first fiscal quarter typically experiences significantly less sales volume relative to the other three quarters and its third fiscal quarter generally has higher sales volume relative to the other three quarters. However, the effects of seasonality are muted by the Company’s recent growth.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency 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 currency contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others 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 description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the risk being hedged, and the manner in which hedge effectiveness will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item effects 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 income (loss) 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. Effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis and any portion of the designated hedge contracts deemed ineffective is recorded to foreign currency gain (loss). If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, 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. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its derivative instruments consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash 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 of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.
Net Income per Share
The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and units (“RSUs”), were exercised or converted 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 per ordinary share and diluted net income per ordinary share are as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Share equivalents of 2,148,276 shares and 2,339,441 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the above calculations for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015 due to their anti-dilutive effect. During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014, share equivalents of 1,202,819 shares and 821,206 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the above calculations due to their anti-dilutive effect.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that, with the exception of the below, there are no new pronouncements that are currently expected to have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which eliminated the prior requirement to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 will require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective beginning with the Company's Fiscal 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 on a retrospective basis. As of March 28, 2015, previously recorded current deferred tax assets and liabilities of $27.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, were subject to reclassification to noncurrent. The Company's balance sheet as of March 28, 2015 also reflects a $7.3 million reclassification between total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to the fact that jurisdictional netting is not impacted by ASU 2015-17.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments and requiring such adjustments to be recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires disclosures of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment was recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective beginning with the Company's Fiscal 2017, with earlier application permitted, and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance requires inventory accounted for using the average cost or first-in first-out method ("FIFO") to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, replacing the current requirement to value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU No. 2015-11 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target under stock-based compensation arrangements that could be achieved after the service period is treated as a performance condition and not reflected in the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, the related compensation cost should be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance targets will be achieved. ASU 2014-12 is effective beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2017, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides new guidance for revenues recognized from contracts with customers, and will replace the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 requires that revenue is recognized at an amount the company is entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to customers, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making it effective for the interim reporting periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, or beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2019. This standard may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Acquisition of Controlling Interest in a Joint Venture
Acquisition of Controlling Interest in a Joint Venture
Acquisition of Controlling Interest in a Joint Venture
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company made contributions to MK Panama totaling $18.5 million, consisting of cash consideration of $3.0 million and the elimination of liabilities owed to the Company of $15.5 million, which increased the Company's ownership interest to 75%. As a result of obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama, which was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company began consolidating MK Panama into its operations during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. The additional ownership interest provides the Company with more direct control over its operations in Latin America and will allow it to better manage its opportunities in the region.
The Company accounted for its acquisition of controlling interest in MK Panama as a business combination during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed as of the date the Company obtained control of MK Panama, reflective of certain post-closing working capital adjustments (in thousands):

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded non-deductible goodwill of $9.2 million, of which $8.0 million and $1.2 million was assigned to the Company's retail and wholesale segments, respectively. The customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized over 10 years. The amount recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations in connection with the revaluation of its prior interest in MK Panama was not material.
The Company is in the process of finalizing estimates related to the cash and non-cash consideration provided in connection with obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama, which could result in further measurement period adjustments.

Receivables are presented net of allowances for sales returns, discounts, markdowns, operational chargebacks and doubtful accounts. Sales returns are determined based on an evaluation of current market conditions and historical returns experience. Discounts are based on open invoices where trade discounts have been extended to customers. Markdowns are based on wholesale customers' sales performance, seasonal negotiations with customers, historical deduction trends and an evaluation of current market conditions. Operational chargebacks are based on deductions taken by customers, net of expected recoveries. Such provisions, and related recoveries, are reflected in net sales.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of periodic aging of receivables for which credit risk is not assumed by the factors, or which are not covered by insurance, and assessments of collectability based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated trends, the financial conditions of the Company’s customers and the impact of general economic conditions. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Amounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when it is probable the amounts will not be recovered. Allowances for doubtful accounts were $0.9 million and $0.7 million, at December 26, 2015 and March 28, 2015, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On October 29, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("2015 Credit Facility") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase"), as administrative agent, which replaced its existing 2013 senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("2013 Credit Facility"). The Company and a U.S., Canadian, Dutch and Swiss subsidiary are the borrowers under the 2015 Credit Facility. The borrowers and certain material subsidiaries of the Company provide unsecured guarantees of the 2015 Credit Facility. The 2015 Credit Facility provides for up to $1.0 billion in borrowings, which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. The 2015 Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million and swing line loans of up to $50.0 million. The Company has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the 2015 Credit Facility by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The 2015 Credit Facility expires on October 29, 2020.
Borrowings under the 2015 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at (i) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an alternative base rate, which is the greater of the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, the greater of the federal funds effective rate or Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points or the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities ("Adjusted LIBOR") plus 100 basis points, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's leverage ratio; (ii) Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's leverage ratio; (iii) for Canadian borrowings, the Canadian prime rate, which is the greater of the PRIMCAN Index rate or the rate applicable to one-month Canadian Dollar banker's acceptances quoted on Reuters ("CDOR") plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's leverage ratio; or (iv) for Canadian borrowings, the average CDOR rate for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's leverage ratio.
The 2015 Credit Facility also provides for an annual administration fee and a commitment fee equal to 0.10% to 0.175% per annum, based on the Company's leverage ratio, applied to the average daily unused amount of the facility. Loans under the 2015 Credit Facility may be prepaid and commitments may be terminated or reduced by the borrowers without premium or penalty other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to loans bearing interest based upon Adjusted LIBOR or the CDOR rate.
The 2015 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.5 to 1. Such leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of the sum of total indebtedness as of the date of the measurement plus 6.0 times the consolidated rent expense for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters, to Consolidated EBITDAR for the last four consecutive fiscal quarters. Consolidated EBITDAR is defined as consolidated net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, consolidated rent expense and other non-cash charges, subject to certain deductions. The 2015 Credit Facility also includes covenants that limit additional indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments and cash dividends that are customary for financings of this type. As of December 26, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.
The 2015 Credit Facility contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including but not limited to, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty supporting the 2015 Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and change of control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2015 Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including terminating the commitments and accelerating amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility.
As of December 26, 2015 and March 28, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility or the prior 2013 Credit Facility. At December 26, 2015, stand-by letters of credit of $10.5 million were outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility. At December 26, 2015, the amount available for future borrowings was $989.5 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in the valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally derived (unobservable). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
At December 26, 2015 and March 28, 2015, the fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, the Company’s only derivative instruments, were determined using broker quotations, which were calculations derived from observable market information: the applicable currency rates at the balance sheet date and those forward rates particular to the contract at inception. The Company makes no adjustments to these broker obtained quotes or prices but assesses the credit risk of the counterparty and would adjust the provided valuations for counterparty credit risk when appropriate. The fair values of the forward contracts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether they represent assets or (liabilities) to the Company, as detailed in Note 10. All contracts are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as shown in the following table (in thousands):

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. Borrowings under revolving credit agreements are recorded at carrying value, which resembles fair value due to the short-term nature of such borrowings.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency for certain of its transactions. The Company in its normal course of business enters into transactions with foreign suppliers and seeks to minimize risks related to certain forecasted inventory purchases by using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company only enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-rated counterparties. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not currently subject to master netting arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated as accounting hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the items underlying the hedged transactions are recognized into earnings, as a component of cost of sales within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The following tables summarize the impact of the effective portion of gains and losses of the forward contracts designated as hedges for the three month and nine month periods ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014 (in thousands):

Amounts related to ineffectiveness were not material during all periods presented. The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months, based upon the timing of inventory purchases and turns. These amounts are subject to fluctuations in the applicable currency exchange rates.
The Company recognized net losses related to changes in the fair value of undesignated forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, during the three months and nine months ended December 26, 2015, and net gains of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the three months and nine months ended December 27, 2014, within foreign currency gains (losses) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Share Repurchase Program
On October 30, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of the Company’s shares for a period of two years. On May 20, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500.0 million under the Company’s existing share repurchase program and extended the program through May 2017. On November 3, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a further increase in the share repurchase program of up to an additional $500.0 million of the Company's ordinary shares and extended the program through March 2018. During the nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company repurchased 21,066,858 shares and 631,297 shares, respectively, at a cost of $950.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, under its share-repurchase program through open market transactions. As of December 26, 2015, the remaining availability under the Company’s share repurchase program was $558.1 million.
On November 14, 2014, the Company entered into a $355.0 million accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR program”) with a major financial institution (the “ASR Counterparty”) to repurchase the Company’s ordinary shares. Under the ASR program, the Company paid $355.0 million to the ASR Counterparty and received 4,437,516 of its ordinary shares from the ASR Counterparty, which represents 100% of the shares expected to be purchased pursuant to the ASR program, based on an initial share price determination. The ASR program also contained a forward contract indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares whereby additional shares would be delivered to the Company by January 29, 2015 (the settlement date) if the share price declined from the initial share price, limited to a stated share price “floor.” The total number of shares repurchased/acquired is determined on final settlement, with the additional shares reacquired based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares, less a discount, during the repurchase period, subject to aforementioned price floor (with no additional cash payment required). The ASR program was accounted for as a treasury stock repurchase, reducing the number of ordinary shares outstanding as of December 27, 2014 by 4,437,516 shares initially repurchased. The forward contract was accounted for as an equity instrument.
The Company also has in place a “withhold to cover” repurchase program, which allows the Company to withhold ordinary shares from certain executive officers to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of their restricted share awards. During the nine month periods ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company withheld 54,875 shares and 40,787 shares, respectively, at a cost of $2.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted share awards.

(1) 
Accumulated other comprehensive income balance related to net gains on derivative financial instruments as of December 26, 2015 and March 28, 2015 is net of tax provisions of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications related to derivative financial instruments for the nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014 is net of tax benefit of $1.8 million and tax provision of $1.7 million, respectively.
(2) 
Reclassified amounts relate to the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts for inventory purchases and are recorded within cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended December 26, 2015 are net of tax provisions of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which are recorded within income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The related tax effects recorded in the prior year periods were not material.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation
The Company issues equity grants to certain employees and directors of the Company at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Company has two equity plans, one adopted in Fiscal 2008, the Michael Kors (USA), Inc. Stock Option Plan (as amended and restated, the “2008 Plan”), and the other adopted in the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2012, the Michael Kors Holdings Limited Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2008 Plan only provided for grants of share options and was authorized to issue up to 23,980,823 ordinary shares. As of December 26, 2015, there were no shares available to grant equity awards under the 2008 Plan. The 2012 Plan allows for grants of share options, restricted shares and restricted share units, and other equity awards, and authorizes a total issuance of up to 15,246,000 ordinary shares. At December 26, 2015, there were 9,229,040 ordinary shares available for future grants of equity awards under the 2012 Plan. Option grants issued from the 2008 Plan generally expire ten years from the date of the grant, and those issued under the 2012 Plan generally expire seven years from the date of the grant.

Share Options
Share options are generally exercisable at no less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The Company has issued two types of option grants, those that vest based on the attainment of a performance target and those that vest based on the passage of time. Performance-based share options may vest based upon the attainment of one of two performance measures. One performance measure is an individual performance target, which is based upon certain performance targets unique to the individual grantee, and the other measure is a company-wide performance target, which is based on a cumulative minimum growth requirement in consolidated net equity. The individual performance target vests 20% of the total option grant each year the target is satisfied. The individual has ten years in which to achieve five individual performance vesting tranches. The company-wide performance target must be achieved over the ten-year term. Performance is measured at the end of the term, and any unvested options vest if the target is achieved. The Company-wide performance target is established at the time of the grant. The target metrics underlying individual performance vesting requirements are established for each recipient each year up until such time as the grant is fully vested. Options subject to time-based vesting requirements become vested in four equal increments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which such options were awarded.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units
The Company grants restricted shares and restricted share units at the fair market value on the date of the grant. Expense for restricted share awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period, which is generally three to four years from the date of the grant, net of expected forfeitures.
Restricted share grants generally vest in equal increments on each of the four anniversaries of the date of grant. In addition, the Company grants two types of restricted share unit (“RSU”) awards: time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Time-based RSUs generally vest in full either on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, or in equal increments on each of the four anniversaries of the date of grant. Performance-based RSUs vest in full on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the employee’s continued employment during the vesting period and only if certain pre-established cumulative performance targets are met at the end of the three-year performance period. Expense related to performance-based RSUs is recognized ratably over the three-year performance period, net of forfeitures, based on the probability of attainment of the related performance targets. The potential number of shares that may be earned ranges between 0%, if the minimum level of performance is not attained, and 150%, if the level of performance is at or above the pre-determined maximum achievement level.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures based on its historical forfeiture rate to date. The estimated value of future forfeitures for equity grants as of December 26, 2015 is approximately $1.8 million.
Segment Information
Segment Information
Segment Information
The Company operates its business through three operating segments—Retail, Wholesale and Licensing—which are based on its business activities and organization. The operating segments are segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources, as well as in assessing performance. The primary key performance indicators are net sales or revenue (in the case of Licensing) and operating income for each segment. The Company’s reportable segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar merchandise, customer experience and sales/marketing strategies. The Company’s Retail segment includes sales through the Company owned stores, including “Collection,” “Lifestyle” including “concessions,” and outlet stores located throughout the Americas (U.S., Canada and Latin America), Europe, and Japan, as well as the Company’s e-commerce sales. Products sold through the Retail segment include women’s apparel, accessories (which include handbags and small leather goods such as wallets), men's apparel, footwear and licensed products, such as watches, jewelry, fragrances and beauty, and eyewear. The Wholesale segment includes sales primarily to major department stores and specialty shops throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Products sold through the Wholesale segment include accessories (which include handbags and small leather goods such as wallets), footwear and women’s and men’s apparel. We also have wholesale arrangements pursuant to which we sell products to certain of our licensees, including our licensees in Asia (which were previously reported within our Americas wholesale operations). The Licensing segment includes royalties earned on licensed products and use of the Company’s trademarks, and rights granted to third parties for the right to sell the Company’s products in certain geographic regions such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe, throughout all of Asia (excluding Japan), as well as Australia. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. Corporate overhead expenses are allocated to the segments based upon specific usage or other allocation methods.
The Company has allocated $13.3 million, $8.0 million and $1.9 million of its recorded $23.2 million goodwill as of December 26, 2015 to its Wholesale, Retail and Licensing segments, respectively. See Note 3 for goodwill recorded upon the Company's acquisition of controlling interest in MK Panama during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. As of March 28, 2015, the Company's goodwill balance of $14.0 million was allocated $12.1 million and $1.9 million to the Company's Wholesale and Licensing segments, respectively. The Company does not have identifiable assets separated by segment.

Non-cash Investing Activities
Non-cash Investing Activities
Significant non-cash investing activities during the nine months ended December 26, 2015 included $15.5 million of non-cash consideration comprised of liabilities owed to the Company, which were converted into additional equity interest in MK Panama. Significant non-cash investing activities also included the non-cash allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company obtaining controlling interest in MK Panama. See Note 3 for additional information.
There were no other significant non-cash investing or financing activities during the fiscal periods presented.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent Events
Subsequent Events
On January 1, 2016, the Company acquired direct control of its previously licensed business in South Korea upon the related license expiration. In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired certain net assets (including inventory and fixed assets) from the Company's former licensee in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $3.6 million. The Company will account for this acquisition as a business combination and will consolidate the South Korean business into its operations beginning with the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016. The Company is in the process of finalizing the related purchase price allocation and accounting.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements as of December 26, 2015, and for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 28, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2015, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company has historically accounted for its investment in its Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries (“MK Panama”), under the equity method of accounting. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company made a series of capital contributions to the joint venture, obtaining a controlling interest in MK Panama. As such, the Company consolidated MK Panama into its operations beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal 2016.
The Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to the 52-week or 53-week period, ending on that day. Fiscal year 2016 will contain 53 weeks, whereas Fiscal 2015 contained 52 weeks. The results for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, are based on 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively.
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, sales discounts and doubtful accounts, estimates of inventory recovery, the valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of deferred taxes and the estimated useful lives used for amortization and depreciation of intangible assets and property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its wholesale and retail segments. The Company’s wholesale segment generally experiences its greatest sales in our third and fourth fiscal quarters while its first fiscal quarter experiences the lowest sales. The Company’s retail segment generally experiences greater sales during our third fiscal quarter as a result of Holiday season sales. In the aggregate, the Company’s first fiscal quarter typically experiences significantly less sales volume relative to the other three quarters and its third fiscal quarter generally has higher sales volume relative to the other three quarters. However, the effects of seasonality are muted by the Company’s recent growth.
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency 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 currency contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions. Certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others 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 description of the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the risk being hedged, and the manner in which hedge effectiveness will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item effects 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 income (loss) 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. Effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis and any portion of the designated hedge contracts deemed ineffective is recorded to foreign currency gain (loss). If the hedge is no longer expected to be highly effective in the future, 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. The Company classifies cash flows relating to its derivative instruments consistently with the classification of the hedged item, within cash 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 of no more than 12 months. The period of these contracts is directly related to the foreign transaction they are intended to hedge.
The Company’s basic net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other potentially dilutive instruments, including restricted shares and units (“RSUs”), were exercised or converted 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 Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that, with the exception of the below, there are no new pronouncements that are currently expected to have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which eliminated the prior requirement to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 will require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective beginning with the Company's Fiscal 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 on a retrospective basis. As of March 28, 2015, previously recorded current deferred tax assets and liabilities of $27.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, were subject to reclassification to noncurrent. The Company's balance sheet as of March 28, 2015 also reflects a $7.3 million reclassification between total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to the fact that jurisdictional netting is not impacted by ASU 2015-17.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," which simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments and requiring such adjustments to be recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires disclosures of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment was recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective beginning with the Company's Fiscal 2017, with earlier application permitted, and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance requires inventory accounted for using the average cost or first-in first-out method ("FIFO") to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, replacing the current requirement to value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU No. 2015-11 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target under stock-based compensation arrangements that could be achieved after the service period is treated as a performance condition and not reflected in the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, the related compensation cost should be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance targets will be achieved. ASU 2014-12 is effective beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2017, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect that ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides new guidance for revenues recognized from contracts with customers, and will replace the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 requires that revenue is recognized at an amount the company is entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to customers, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making it effective for the interim reporting periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, or beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2019. This standard may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method and the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Receivables are presented net of allowances for sales returns, discounts, markdowns, operational chargebacks and doubtful accounts. Sales returns are determined based on an evaluation of current market conditions and historical returns experience. Discounts are based on open invoices where trade discounts have been extended to customers. Markdowns are based on wholesale customers' sales performance, seasonal negotiations with customers, historical deduction trends and an evaluation of current market conditions. Operational chargebacks are based on deductions taken by customers, net of expected recoveries. Such provisions, and related recoveries, are reflected in net sales.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of periodic aging of receivables for which credit risk is not assumed by the factors, or which are not covered by insurance, and assessments of collectability based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated trends, the financial conditions of the Company’s customers and the impact of general economic conditions. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Amounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when it is probable the amounts will not be recovered.
