Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results Financial Results and non-GAAP Reconciliation The Company’s results are reported in this press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release. As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2025, the Company and Prada S.p.A. (“Prada”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Prada agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of the Company which operate the Company’s Versace business. As a result, the Company determined that the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria had been met and the Company classified the results of operations and cash flows of its Versace business as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2025. On December 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Versace business. Unless otherwise noted, the discussion below including analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates only to continuing operations.

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 Company has begun filing refund claims with CBP and expects to recover the full amount, though actual timing and amounts are subject to completion of CBP's refund process.
