MICHAEL KORS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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,” “KORS 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, lifestyle stores, including concessions and outlet stores located primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. Wholesale revenues are principally derived from major department and specialty stores located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The Company licenses its trademarks on products such as fragrances, cosmetics, eyewear, leather goods, jewelry, watches, coats, men’s suits, swimwear, furs and ties.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements as of September 28, 2013, and for the three and six months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 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 GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 30, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2013, 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 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. The results for the three and six months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, are based on a 13-week and 26-week period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Store Pre-opening Costs

Costs associated with the opening of new retail stores and start up activities are expensed as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward 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 these transactions. The Company employs these forward currency contracts to hedge the Company’s cash flows, as they relate to foreign currency transactions, of which certain of these contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, while others are undesignated hedges for hedge accounting purposes. These derivative instruments are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value, regardless of if they are designated or undesignated as hedges.

Prior to Fiscal 2013, the Company did not designate these instruments as hedges for hedge accounting purposes. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company adopted the provisions of hedge accounting and elected to designate certain contracts entered into during that period as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, and will continue to do so going

forward, for contracts related to the purchase of inventory. Accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the fair value for contracts entered into during the three and six months ended September 28, 2013, are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and to cost of sales for any portion of those contracts deemed ineffective. The Company will continue to record changes in the fair value of hedge designated contracts in this manner until their maturity, where the unrealized gain or loss will be recognized into earnings in that period. For those contracts entered into prior to adoption of hedge accounting, as well as those that will not be designated as hedges in future periods, changes in the fair value, as of each balance sheet date and upon maturity, are recorded in cost of sales or operating expenses, within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward exchange contracts were intended to hedge. During the six months ended September 28, 2013, the net realized gain of $0.1 million, related to the change in fair value of those contracts not designated as hedges, was recorded as a component of cost of sales. In addition, the net unrealized loss related to contracts designated as hedges for $3.5 million, was charged to equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income during the six months ended September 28, 2013. For the six months ended September 28, 2013, amounts related to the ineffectiveness of these contracts were de minimis. The following table details the fair value of these contracts as of September 28, 2013, and March 30, 2013 (in thousands):

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

   $ 127      $ 1,367   

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

   $ (2,258   $ (71

The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In attempts to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company 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 notional amount of these contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 was approximately $123.7 million, which was comprised predominately of those designated as hedges.

Net Income Per Share

The Company’s basic net income per share excludes the dilutive effect of share options and units, as well as unvested restricted shares. It is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period divided into net income.

Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if share option grants or any other dilutive equity instruments were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. These equity instruments are included as potential dilutive securities to the extent they are dilutive under the treasury stock method for the applicable periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and, other than the new pronouncement described below, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013, the company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Update 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”) which the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in February 2013. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2012.

The Company has historically assigned a substantial portion of its trade receivables to factors in the United States and Europe whereby the factors assumed credit risk with respect to such receivables assigned. Under the factor agreements, factors bear the risk of loss from the financial inability of the customer to pay the trade receivable when due, up to such amounts as accepted by the factor; but not the risk of non-payment of such trade receivable for any other reason. Beginning

Table of Contents

in July 2012, the Company assumed responsibility for a large portion of previously factored accounts receivable balances the majority of which were insured at September 28, 2013. The Company provides an allowance for such non-payment risk at the time of sale, which is recorded as an offset to revenue.

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 retail 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 under 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 $2.1 million and $1.1 million, at September 28, 2013 and March 30, 2013, respectively.

6. Credit Facilities

Secured Revolving Credit Facility

The Company had a revolving credit facility, with a maturity date of September 15, 2015, which it terminated during February 2013 (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility was originally entered into during Fiscal 2007 and was amended on September 15, 2011. Pursuant to such amendment, the Credit Facility provided up to $100.0 million of borrowings, and was originally set to expire on September 15, 2015. The agreement also provided for loans and letters of credit to the Company’s European subsidiaries of up to $35.0 million. All other terms and conditions under the 2011 Credit Facility remained consistent with the original agreement. The 2011 Credit Facility provided for aggregate credit available equal to the lesser of (i) $100.0 million, or (ii) the sum of specified percentages of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, as defined, plus $30.0 million. The terms of the 2011 Credit Facility required all amounts outstanding under the agreement to be collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets throughout the duration of the agreement. The 2011 Credit Facility contained financial covenants which limited capital expenditures to $110.0 million for any one fiscal year plus additional amounts as permitted, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 (with the ratio being EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense to the sum of fixed charges plus consolidated rent expense), restricted and limited additional indebtedness, and restricted the incurrence of additional liens and cash dividends. During the six months ended September 29, 2012 the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants covered under the agreement.

Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility accrued interest at the rate per annum announced from time to time by the agent of 1.25% above the prevailing applicable prime rate, or at a per annum rate equal to 2.25% above the prevailing LIBOR rate. For the six months ended September 29, 2012, the weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 2.82%. The Credit Facility required an annual facility fee of $0.1 million, and an annual commitment fee of 0.35% on the unused portion of the available credit under the Credit Facility, which was payable quarterly.

At September 28, 2013 there were no amounts outstanding or available related to this agreement.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On February 8, 2013, the Company terminated the provisions of its existing 2011 Credit Facility and entered into a senior unsecured credit facility (“2013 Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the agreement the 2013 Credit Facility provides for up to $200.0 million of borrowings, and expires on February 8, 2018. The agreement also provides for loans and letters of credit to the Company’s European subsidiaries of up to $100.0 million. The 2013 Credit Facility contains financial covenants such as requiring an adjusted leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 (with the ratio being total consolidated indebtedness plus 8.0 times consolidated rent expense to EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense) and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 (with the ratio being EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense to the sum of fixed charges plus consolidated rent expense), restricts and limits additional indebtedness, and restricts the incurrence of additional liens and cash dividends. As of September 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this agreement.

Borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility accrue interest at the rate per annum announced from time to time by the agent a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (the “Adjusted LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin may range from 1.25% to 2.5%, and is based, or dependent upon, a particular threshold related to the adjusted leverage ratio calculated during the period of borrowing. For the six months ended September 28, 2013, the weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 1.59%. The 2013 Credit Facility requires an annual facility fee of $0.1 million, and an annual commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35% on the unused portion of the available credit under the facility.

As of September 28, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility, and the amount available for future borrowings was $189.2 million. The largest amount borrowed during the six months ended September 28, 2013, was $6.6 million. At September 28, 2013, there were stand-by letters of credit of $10.8 million.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations or financial position.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using a 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.

The Company has historically entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure for certain inventory purchases from its manufacturers in Europe and Asia, as well as commitments for certain services. The forward contracts that are used in the program mature in twelve months or less, consistent with the related planned purchases or services. The Company attempts to hedge the majority of its total anticipated European and Asian purchase and service contracts. Realized gains and losses applicable to derivatives used for inventory purchases are recognized in cost of sales, and those applicable to other services are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses (see Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- Derivative Financial Instruments, for further detail regarding hedge accounting treatment as it relates to gains and losses). At September 28, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, the Company’s only derivatives, were valued using broker quotations which were calculations derived from observable market information: the applicable currency forward 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 does assess the credit risk of the counterparty and would adjust the provided valuations for counterparty credit risk when appropriate. The fair value 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. All contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as shown in the following table:

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are recorded at face value as the fair value of the Credit Facility is synonymous with its recorded value as it is a short-term debt facility due to its revolving nature.

9. Other Comprehensive Income- Hedging Instruments

The Company designates certain forward currency exchange contracts as hedges for hedge accounting purposes (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- Derivative Financial Instruments). The Company employs forward currency contracts to hedge the Company’s exposures, as they relate to certain forecasted inventory purchases in foreign currencies, and as such are regarded as cash flow hedges up to such time the forecasted transaction occurs.

Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these contracts are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, as of each balance sheet date, 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.

10. 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 provided for the granting of share options only and was authorized to issue up to 23,980,823 ordinary shares. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2012 plan, there were no shares available for the granting of equity awards under the 2008 Plan. The 2012 Plan allows for the granting 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 September 28, 2013, there were 11,870,809 ordinary shares available for the granting 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 under the grant 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 generally 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.

There were 6,643,656 non-vested and 2,203,549 vested outstanding options at September 28, 2013. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended September 28, 2013 was $128.5 million, and the cash received from options exercised during this period was $13.0 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended September 29, 2012 was $324.6 million, and the cash received from options exercised during this period was $23.7 million. As of September 28, 2013, the remaining unrecognized share-based compensation expense for non-vested share options and restricted shares to be expensed in future periods is $37.4 million, and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3.84 years.

The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted during the three and six months ended September 28, 2013 was $27.46 and $24.93, respectively, and for the three and six months ended September 29, 2012 was $18.20 and $16.42, respectively.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

The Company grants restricted shares and restricted share units at the fair market value at the date of the grant. Expense for restricted share grants is calculated based on the intrinsic value of the grant, which is the difference between the cost to the recipient and the fair market value of the underlying share (grants are generally issued at no cost to the recipient). Expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period which is generally three to four years from the date of the grant. Similar to share options, restricted share grants generally vest in four equal increments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which such grants were awarded. With respect to restricted share units, there are two types: performance based vesting grants and time based vesting grants. Share units whose vesting is based on meeting certain performance criteria, vest in full three years from their anniversary date only if certain cumulative performance targets are met at the end of the three year period. Expense related to these grants is recognized ratably over the three year performance period subject to the probability of the attainment of the related performance targets. Share units that vest based on time generally vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, and are expensed over a one year period.

11. 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. Sales of the Company’s products through Company owned stores for the Retail segment include “Collection,” “Lifestyle” including “concessions,” and outlet stores located throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. Products sold through the Retail segment include women’s apparel, accessories (which include handbags and small leather goods such as wallets), footwear and licensed products, such as watches, fragrances and eyewear. The Wholesale segment includes sales primarily to major department stores and specialty shops throughout North America and Europe. 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. 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 geographical regions such as Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, the Middle East, Russia, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Latin America and the Caribbean, and India. 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.

12. Agreements with Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

From time to time, Sportswear Holdings Limited or its affiliates have provided a plane for purposes of business travel to the directors and senior management of the Company at no charge to the Company. During the six months ended September 29, 2012, $0.3 million, representing the estimated costs of these services, which are based on allocated or incremental cost, was charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as an offset to contributed capital (additional paid-in capital). There were no amounts recorded to contributed capital related to these services for the six months ended September 28, 2013. The Company or its chief executive officer may arrange a plane owned by Sportswear Holdings Limited or its affiliates to be used for the Company’s directors and senior management for purposes of business travel on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than it would receive in an arm’s-length transaction with a third party. To the extent the Company’s chief executive officer enters into such an arrangement for business travel, the Company will reimburse him for the actual market price paid for the use of such plane. During the six months ended September 28, 2013, the Company chartered this plane from Sportswear Holdings Limited for business purposes, the amounts of which were paid in cash and charged to operating expenses. Amounts charged to the Company in connection with these services were approximately $0.8 million during this period.

The Company’s Chief Creative Officer, Michael Kors, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, John Idol, and certain of the Company’s current shareholders, including Sportswear Holdings Limited, jointly own Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited, a BVI company. During Fiscal 2012, the Company entered into certain licensing agreements with certain subsidiaries of Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited (the “Licensees”) which provide the Licensees with certain exclusive rights for use of the Company’s trademarks within China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and to import, sell, advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products in these regions, as well as to own and operate stores which bear the Company’s tradenames. The agreements between the Company and subsidiaries of Michael Kors Far East Holdings Limited expire on March 31, 2041, and may be terminated by the Company at certain intervals if certain minimum sale benchmarks are not met. For the six months ended September 28, 2013, there were approximately $0.4 million of royalties earned under these agreements. There were no royalties earned during the six months ended September 29, 2012, as the Company was not entitled to royalties under this agreement until the start of its fiscal 2014 year. The Company also provides the Licensees with certain services, including, but not limited to, supply chain and logistics support, and management information system support at the request of the Licensees, for which the Company charges a service fee based on allocated internal costs employed in delivering the services, and includes a contractually agreed upon markup. During the six months ended September 29, 2012, amounts charged to the Licensees for these services totaled $0.1 million, which was recorded in other selling, general and administrative expenses. There were no services rendered on behalf of the Licensees, and thus no fees were charged, during the six months ended September 28, 2013.

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations. We sometimes identify forward-looking statements with such words as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “intend,” “believe” or similar words concerning future events. The forward-looking statements contained herein, include, without limitation, statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, gross profit margins, selling and marketing expenses, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, capital resources, new stores, additional financings or borrowings and additional losses and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those discussed in this report that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements. We also urge you to carefully review the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual report on Form 10-K, (File No. 001-35368), filed on May 29, 2013, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

Our Business

We are a rapidly growing global luxury lifestyle brand led by a world-class management team and a renowned, award-winning designer. Since launching his namesake brand over 30 years ago, Michael Kors has featured distinctive designs, materials and craftsmanship with a jet-set aesthetic that combines stylish elegance and a sporty attitude. Mr. Kors’ vision has taken the Company from its beginnings as an American luxury sportswear house to a global accessories, footwear and apparel company with a presence in over 85 countries. As a highly recognized luxury lifestyle brand in North America, with accelerating awareness in targeted international markets, we have experienced exceptional sales momentum and intend to continue along this course as we grow our business.

We operate our business in three segments—retail, wholesale and licensing—and we have a strategically controlled global distribution network focused on company-operated retail stores, leading department stores, specialty stores and select licensing partners. As of September 28, 2013, our retail segment included 264 North American retail stores, including concessions, and 88 international retail stores, including concessions, in Europe and Japan. As of September 28, 2013, our wholesale segment included wholesale sales through approximately 2,294 department store and specialty store doors in North America and wholesale sales through approximately 1,197 department store and specialty store doors internationally (department stores as they are referred to here are comprised of full-price department stores only). Our remaining revenue is generated through our licensing segment, through which we license to third parties certain production, sales and/or distribution rights. During the first six months of Fiscal 2014, our licensing segment accounted for approximately 4.2% of our total revenue and consisted primarily of royalties earned on licensed products and our geographic licenses.

We offer two primary collections: the Michael Kors luxury collection and the MICHAEL Michael Kors accessible luxury collection. The Michael Kors collection establishes the aesthetic authority of our entire brand and is carried in many of our retail stores as well as in the finest luxury department stores in the world. In 2004, we introduced the MICHAEL Michael Kors collection, which has a strong focus on accessories, in addition to offering footwear and apparel, and addresses the significant demand opportunity in accessible luxury goods. Taken together, our two collections target a broad customer base while retaining a premium luxury image.

Certain Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Disruptions in shipping and distribution. Our operations are subject to the impact of shipping disruptions as a result of changes, or damage, to our distribution infrastructure. During the quarter ended September 28, 2013, we experienced disruptions to the shipping of our products within the U.S. as a result of implementing new material handling equipment and systems for purposes of automating our U.S. distribution facility. The disruption related to this implementation impacted our ability to ship at full capacity during the quarter and may continue to do so for the remainder of this fiscal year. In addition, we expect incremental expenses related to this implementation to be incurred through the end of this fiscal year. Accordingly, these disruptions to our shipping may have an impact on our earnings for the remainder of this fiscal year, with regards to the effects on both our net sales and operating expenses.

Costs of Manufacturing. Our industry is subject to volatility in costs related to certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products. This volatility applies primarily to costs driven by commodity prices, which can increase or decrease dramatically over a short period of time. These fluctuations may have a material impact on our sales, results of operations and cash flows to the extent they occur. We use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate these effects by sourcing our products as efficiently as possible. In addition, manufacturing labor costs are also subject to degrees of volatility based on local and global economic conditions. We use commercially reasonable efforts to source from localities that suit our manufacturing standards and result in more favorable labor driven costs to our products.

Establishing brand identity and enhancing global presence. We intend to continue to increase our international presence and global brand recognition through the formation of various joint ventures with international partners, and continuing with our international licensing arrangements. We feel this is an efficient method for continued penetration into the global luxury goods market, especially for markets we have yet to establish a substantial presence.

Demand for Our Accessories and Related Merchandise. Our performance is affected by trends in the luxury goods industry, as well as shifts in demographics and changes in lifestyle preferences. Currently, demand for our products is predicted to grow. According to the Altagamma Studies*, demand for the worldwide luxury goods industry is predicted to grow from approximately $251.5 billion in 2011 to between $314.4 billion and $327.5 billion in 2015. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the continued growth of the accessories product category, as it is one of our primary product category focuses.

Wholesale

We sell our products directly to department stores across North America and Europe to accommodate consumers who prefer to shop at major department stores. In addition, we sell to specialty stores for those consumers who enjoy the boutique experience afforded by such stores. We continue to focus our sales efforts and drive sales in existing locations by enhancing presentation, primarily through the creation of more shop-in-shops with our proprietary fixtures that effectively communicate our brand and create a more personalized shopping experience for consumers. We tailor our assortments through wholesale product planning and allocation processes to better match the demands of our department store customers in each local market.

The following table presents the growth in our network of full-price wholesale doors, which include department store and specialty store doors, during the three and six months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012:

Licensing

We generate revenue through product and geographic licensing arrangements. Our product license agreements allow third parties to use our brand name and trademarks in connection with the manufacturing and sale of a variety of products, including watches, fragrances, eyewear and jewelry. In our product licensing arrangements, we take an active role in the design process, marketing and distribution of products under our brands. Our geographic licensing arrangements allow third parties to use our tradenames in connection with the retail and/or wholesale sales of our branded products in specific geographic regions.

General Definitions for Operating Results

Net sales consist of sales from comparable retail stores and non-comparable retail stores, net of returns and markdowns, as well as those made to our wholesale customers, net of returns, discounts, markdowns and allowances.

Comparable store sales include sales from a store that has been opened for one full year after the end of the first month of its operations. All comparable store sales are presented on a 52-week basis.

Licensing revenue consists of fees charged on sales of licensed products to our licensees as well as contractual royalty rates for the use of our trademarks in certain geographic territories.

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory sold, freight-in on merchandise and foreign currency exchange gains/losses related to forward contracts for purchase commitments. All retail store operating and occupancy costs, as well as warehouse and distribution costs, are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (see below), and as a result our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to that of other entities that have chosen to include some or all of those expenses as a component of their cost of goods sold.

Gross profit is total revenue (net sales plus licensing revenue) minus cost of goods sold. As a result of retail store operating and occupancy costs, and warehouse and distribution costs, being excluded from our cost of goods, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities that have chosen to include some or all of those expenses as a component of their gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of warehousing and distribution costs, rent for our distribution centers, store payroll, store occupancy costs (such as rent, common area maintenance, store pre-opening, real estate taxes and utilities), information technology and systems costs, corporate payroll and related benefits, advertising and promotion expense and other general expenses.

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of fixed and definite-lived intangible assets.

Income from operations consists of gross profit minus total operating expenses.

Interest expense, net represents interest and fees on our revolving credit facilities (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further detail on our credit facilities) and amortization of deferred financing costs, offset by interest earned on highly liquid investments (investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, classified as cash equivalents), the amounts of which are not material for all periods presented.

Foreign currency loss (gain) represents unrealized income or loss from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our subsidiaries.

Retail

Net sales from our retail stores increased $113.3 million, or 46.8%, to $355.6 million for the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $242.3 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. We operated 352 retail stores, including concessions, as of September 28, 2013, compared to 269 retail stores, including concessions, as of September 29, 2012. During the three months ended September 28, 2013, our comparable store sales growth increased $55.1 million, or 22.9%, from the three months ended September 29, 2012. The growth in our comparable store sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of our accessories product line during the three months ended September 28, 2013. In addition, the change to our non-comparable store sales were $58.2 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, which was primarily the result of operating 83 additional stores since September 29, 2012.

Wholesale

Net sales to our wholesale customers increased $81.1 million, or 29.9%, to $351.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $270.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in our wholesale net sales occurred primarily as a result of increased sales of our accessories line as well as footwear during the three months ended September 28, 2013, as we continue to enhance our presence in department and specialty stores by converting more doors to shop-in-shops, and in continuing our expansion of our European operations. Net sales from our European operations increased approximately 84.0% during the three months ended September 28, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 29, 2012, due largely to an increase in full-price doors to 1,197 from 817 in the same period last year.

Licensing

Revenues earned on our licensing agreements increased $13.0 million, or 65.4%, to $32.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in licensing revenue was primarily due to royalties earned on licensing agreements related to sales of watches.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $134.0 million, or 42.4%, to $449.9 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $315.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased to 60.8% during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 59.3% during the three months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in profit margin resulted primarily from increases in gross profit margin of 60 basis points and 40 basis points from our retail and wholesale segments, respectively. The increase in profit margin on our retail segment resulted primarily from a favorable product sales mix during the quarter ended September 28, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 29, 2012. The increase in profit margin on our wholesale segment largely resulted from the increase in our European wholesale net sales to total wholesale net sales, the increase of which was comprised of a more favorable product sales mix during the quarter ended September 28, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 29, 2012.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $70.4 million, or 44.6%, to $228.4 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $158.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Total operating expenses increased to 30.9% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 29.6% for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $64.6 million, or 44.4%, to $210.4 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $145.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in our retail occupancy and salary costs of $34.1 million, an increase in corporate employee-related costs of $13.3 million, and increases in promotional costs (which consist of advertising, marketing and various promotional costs) of $6.1 million. The increase in our retail occupancy and payroll costs was due to operating 352 retail stores versus 269 retail stores in the prior period. The increase in our corporate employee-related costs was due primarily to an increase in our corporate staff to accommodate our North American and international growth. Advertising costs increased primarily due to our continuing expansion into new markets, including domestic and international, as well as social media during the three months ended September 28, 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 28.4% during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 27.3% for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The increase as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to increases in various warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the quarter ended September 28, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $5.8 million, or 47.3%, to $18.1 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Increases in depreciation and amortization were primarily due to an increase in the build-out of our new retail locations, new shop-in-shop locations and investments made in our information systems infrastructure to accommodate our growth. Depreciation and amortization increased to 2.4% as a percentage of total revenue during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 2.3% for the three months ended September 29, 2012.

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $63.5 million, or 40.2%, to $221.5 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $157.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 29.9% during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 29.6% for the three months ended September 29, 2012.

Retail

Income from operations for our retail segment increased $34.7 million, or 50.7%, to $103.1 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $68.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales for the retail segment increased approximately 0.8% as a percentage of net retail sales to 29.0% during the three months ended September 28, 2013. The increase in retail income from operations as a percentage of net sales was due to the increase in gross profit margin during the three months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2012, as described in the gross profit discussion above.

Wholesale

Income from operations for our wholesale segment increased $21.1 million, or 27.3%, to $98.5 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $77.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the wholesale segment decreased 0.6% as a percentage of net wholesale sales to 28.0% during the three months ended September 28, 2013. This decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of an increase in operating expenses of approximately 1.0% as a percent of net wholesale sales during the three months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2012. This increase was due to expenditures related to distribution, increases in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net wholesale sales, as well as the aforementioned disruption to our warehouse facility in California during the quarter ended September 28, 2013, as a result of implementation of certain material handling equipment and systems to automate the facility. The expenses related to this disruption included, shipping and handling, additional payroll and consulting fees. We expect to incur additional expenses related to this disruption into our third and fourth fiscal 2014 quarters. These increases in operating expenses as a percentage of net wholesale sales were offset, in part, by the increase in gross profit margin, as described in the gross profit discussion above.

Licensing

Income from operations for our licensing segment increased $7.7 million, or 63.7%, to $19.8 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue for the licensing segment decreased 0.7% as a percentage of licensing revenue to 60.2% during the three months ended September 28, 2013. This decrease as a percentage of licensing revenue was the result of an increase in advertising expenses of $4.6 million during the three month ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2012, as we continue to launch new advertising initiatives, including social media and other web-based mediums for increasing brand awareness. The increase in advertising expenses was offset in part by the aforementioned increase in licensing revenue.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense decreased $0.4 million, or 76.6%, to $0.1 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was attributable primarily to a decrease in borrowings during the quarter ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the quarter ended September 29, 2012. The expense for the period was largely comprised of commitment fees and the amortization of deferred borrowing costs.

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)

Foreign currency loss during the three months ended September 28, 2013 was $18,000 as compared to foreign currency gain of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 29, 2012. The loss during the three months ended September 28, 2013 was primarily due to the settling of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency of certain reporting units. The foreign currency gain during the three months ended September 29, 2012 was primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. dollar, which impacted the re-measurement of Yen-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized $75.5 million of income tax expense during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared with $59.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2013 before taking into effect certain discrete items, was 35.4%, compared to 37.9% for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in taxable income in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, which are subject to lower statutory income tax rates, during the three months ended September 28, 2013. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2013 after taking into effect the aforementioned discrete items was 34.1%. These discrete items were primarily comprised of favorable outcomes resulting from certain examinations completed during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and certain other nondeductible expenses and income earned in certain non-U.S. entities with significant net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $48.0 million, or 49.0%, to $145.8 million during the three months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $97.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012.

During the six months ended September 28, 2013, our comparable store sales growth increased $113.3 million, or 25.0%, from the six months ended September 29, 2012. The growth in our comparable store sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of our accessories product line during the six months ended September 28, 2013. In addition, the change to our non-comparable store sales were $110.7 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, which was primarily the result of operating 83 additional stores since September 29, 2012.

Wholesale

Net sales to our wholesale customers increased $189.3 million, or 41.8%, to $642.4 million for the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $453.2 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in our wholesale net sales occurred primarily as a result of increased sales of our accessories line as well as footwear during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as we continue to enhance our presence in department and specialty stores by converting more doors to shop-in-shops, and in continuing our expansion of our European operations. Net sales from our European operations increased approximately 108.5% during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012, due largely to an increase in full-price doors to 1,197 from 817 in the same period last year.

Licensing

Revenues earned on our licensing agreements increased $20.1 million, or 53.8%, to $57.5 million for the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $37.4 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in licensing revenue was primarily due to royalties earned on licensing agreements related to sales of watches.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $280.2 million, or 49.4%, to $847.1 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $566.9 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased to 61.3% during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 59.8% during the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in profit margin resulted from increases in gross profit margin of 90 basis points and 150 basis points from our retail and wholesale segments, respectively. The increase in profit margin on our retail segment resulted primarily from a more favorable product sales mix during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in profit margin on our wholesale segment largely resulted from a decrease in discounts and allowances given, as well as experiencing a more favorable product sales mix during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $131.1 million, or 44.1%, to $428.1 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $297.0 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Total operating expenses decreased to 31.0% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 31.3% for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The components that comprise total operating expenses are explained below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $122.4 million, or 45.0%, to $394.1 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $271.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in our retail occupancy and salary costs of $64.4 million, an increase in corporate employee-related costs of $27.1 million, and increases in promotional costs (which consist of advertising, marketing and various promotional costs) of $14.1 million. The increase in our retail occupancy and payroll costs was due to operating 352 retail stores versus 269 retail stores in the prior period. The increase in our corporate employee-related costs was due primarily to an increase in our corporate staff to accommodate our North American and international growth. Advertising costs increased primarily due to our continuing expansion into new markets, including domestic and international, as well as social media during the six months ended September 28, 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 28.5% during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 28.7% for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The decrease as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to achieving economies of scale during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012, as our revenue is increasing at a greater rate relative to our fixed costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $8.7 million, or 34.4%, to $34.0 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $25.3 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Increases in depreciation and amortization were primarily due to an increase in the build-out of our new retail locations, new shop-in-shop locations and investments made in our information systems infrastructure to accommodate our growth. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 2.5% as a percentage of total revenue during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 2.7% for the six months ended September 29, 2012.

Income from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations increased $149.2 million, or 55.3%, to $419.0 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $269.9 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of total revenue increased to 30.3% during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to 28.5% for the six months ended September 29, 2012.

Retail

Income from operations for our retail segment increased $77.9 million, or 60.7%, to $206.2 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $128.3 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales for the retail segment increased approximately 2.2% as a percentage of net retail sales to 30.3% during the six months ended September 28, 2013. The increase in retail income from operations as a percentage of net retail sales was due to the increase in gross profit margin during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012, as described in the gross profit discussion above, as well as to a decrease in operating expenses of approximately 1.3% as a percentage of net retail sales during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012. This decrease occurred primarily due to sales increasing at a greater rate relative to fixed expenses during the period.

Wholesale

Income from operations for our wholesale segment increased $61.5 million, or 52.0%, to $179.6 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $118.1 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the wholesale segment increased 1.9% as a percentage of net wholesale sales to 28.0% during the six months ended September 28, 2013. This increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of the increase in gross profit margin, as described in the gross profit discussion above.

Licensing

Income from operations for our licensing segment increased $9.8 million, or 41.6%, to $33.2 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $23.4 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of licensing revenue for the licensing segment decreased 4.9% as a percentage of licensing revenue to 57.8% during the six months ended September 28, 2013. This decrease as a percentage of licensing revenue was the result of an increase in advertising expenses of $9.3 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012, as we launched several new advertising initiatives, including social media and other web-based mediums for increasing brand awareness for our upcoming fiscal year. The increase in advertising expenses was offset in part by the aforementioned increase in licensing revenue.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense decreased $0.7 million, or 69.7%, to $0.3 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was attributable primarily to a decrease in borrowings during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012. The expense for the period was largely comprised of commitment fees and the amortization of deferred borrowing costs.

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)

Foreign currency loss during the six months ended September 28, 2013 was $0.3 million as compared to foreign currency gain of $0.7 million during the six months ended September 29, 2012. The loss during the six months ended September 28, 2013 was primarily due to the settling of certain of our accounts payable in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable reporting units. The foreign currency gain during the six months ended September 29, 2012 was primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. dollar, which impacted the re-measurement of Yen-denominated intercompany loans with certain of our subsidiaries. There were no balances on these notes at September 28, 2013.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized $147.6 million of income tax expense during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared with $103.1 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2013, before taking into effect certain discrete items, was 36.0%, compared to 38.2% for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in taxable income in certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, which are subject to lower statutory income tax rates, during the six months ended September 28, 2013. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2013, after taking into effect these discrete items, was 35.3%.These discrete items were primarily comprised of favorable results of certain examinations completed during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate from time to time due to the effects of changes in U.S. state and local taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and certain other nondeductible expenses and income earned in certain non-U.S. entities with significant net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, factors such as the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and the results of various global tax strategies, may also impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased $104.3 million, or 62.7%, to $270.8 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, compared to $166.5 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from our operations, along with borrowings available under our 2013 Credit Facility (see below discussion regarding “Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”) and available cash and cash equivalents. Our primary use of this liquidity is to fund our ongoing cash requirements, including working capital requirements, global retail store expansion and renovation, construction and renovation of shop-in-shops, investment in information systems infrastructure and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities. We believe that the cash generated from our operations, together with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our store growth plans, shop-in shop growth, continued systems development, as well as web based sales and marketing initiatives. We spent approximately $73.6 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended September 28, 2013 and expect to spend approximately $160.0 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of Fiscal 2014. The majority of these expected expenditures relate to new retail store openings planned for the year, with the remainder being used for investments in connection with developing new shop-in-shops, build-out of our corporate offices and enhancing our information systems infrastructure. In addition, we plan to spend approximately an additional $15.0 million during the remainder of Fiscal 2014, on intangible assets related to our European retail store expansion.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $67.8 million to $181.5 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $113.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily due to an increase in our net income, an increase in changes to our accounts receivable, offset, in part, by an increase in cash outflows on our inventory during the six months ended September 28, 2013 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in the change to our accounts receivable was largely the result of an increase in the collection frequency of certain of our accounts receivables during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in cash outflows on our inventory occurred primarily due the increase in our inventory requirements driven by our increased sales during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2012.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $45.4 million to $88.3 million during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $42.8 million during the six months ended September 29, 2012. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of the build-out of our new retail stores, which were constructed during the six months ended September 28, 2013, shop-in-shops we installed during the six months ended September 28, 2013, as well as certain technology initiatives undertaken during the six months ended September 28, 2013, which related to distribution system enhancements and various other improvements to our infrastructure. In addition, we acquired approximately $14.7 million of intangible assets (lease rights) related to certain of our stores opened during the six months ended September 28, 2013.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $53.2 million for the six months ended September 28, 2013, as compared to $134.8 million for the six months ended September 29, 2012. The cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended September 28, 2013, were primarily comprised of proceeds from the exercise of employee share options of approximately $13.0 million. Cash flows from financing activities related to the six months ended September 29, 2012, were comprised of net borrowing on our revolving credit facility of $8.9 million, and proceeds from the exercise of employee share options of approximately $23.7 million.

Revolving Credit Facility

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On February 8, 2013, we terminated the provisions of our existing 2011 Credit Facility and entered into a senior unsecured credit facility (“2013 Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the agreement the 2013 Credit Facility provides for up to $200.0 million of borrowings, and expires on February 8, 2018. The agreement also provides for loans and letters of credit to our European subsidiaries of up to $100.0 million. The 2013 Credit Facility contains financial covenants such as requiring an adjusted leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 (with the ratio being total consolidated indebtedness plus 8.0 times consolidated rent expense to EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense) and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 (with the ratio being EBITDA plus consolidated rent expense to the sum of fixed charges plus consolidated rent expense), restricts and limits additional indebtedness, and restricts the incurrence of additional liens and cash dividends. As of September 28, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our covenants covered under this agreement.

Borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility accrue interest at the rate per annum announced from time to time by the agent a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (the “Adjusted LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin may range from 1.25% to 2.5%, and is based, or dependent upon, a particular threshold related to the adjusted leverage ratio calculated during the period of borrowing. For the six months ended September 28, 2013, the weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 1.59%. The 2013 Credit Facility requires an annual facility fee of $0.1 million, and an annual commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.35% on the unused portion of the available credit under the facility.

As of September 28, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility, and the amount available for future borrowings was $189.2 million. The largest amount borrowed during the six months ended September 28, 2013, was $6.6 million. At September 28, 2013, there were stand-by letters of credit of $10.8 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Operating lease obligations represent the minimum lease rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases for our real estate locations globally. In addition to the above amounts, we are typically required to pay real estate taxes, contingent rent based on sales volume and other occupancy costs relating to our leased properties for our retail stores.

Excluded from the above commitments is $13.5 million of long-term liabilities related to uncertain tax positions, due to the uncertainty of the time and nature of resolution.

The above table also excludes amounts included in current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2013, as these items will be paid within one year, and non-current liabilities that have no cash outflows associated with them (e.g., deferred taxes).

We do not have any long-term purchase obligations that represent firm commitments at September 28, 2013.

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We do not conduct research and development activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not affiliated with, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have considered all new accounting pronouncements, and other than the recent pronouncement discussed below, have concluded that there are no new pronouncements that have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Update 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”) which the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in February 2013. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For the three and six months ended September 28, 2013, the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income were $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of our business, such as risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in interest rates. In attempts to manage these risks, we employ certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations. Currently we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the fluctuations of certain foreign currencies. The use of these instruments helps to manage our exposure to our foreign purchase commitments and better control our product costs. Other than these purchase commitments, we do not use these foreign exchange contracts for any other purposes. In addition, we do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to risks on certain purchase commitments to foreign suppliers based on the value of the functional currency relative to the local currency of the supplier on the date of the commitment. As such, we enter into forward currency contracts that generally mature in 12 months or less and are consistent with the related purchase commitments. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability, and are derivative contracts to hedge cash flow risks. Certain of these contracts, currently a relatively small portion, are designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the majority of these contracts at the balance sheet date and upon maturity (settlement) are recorded in our cost of sales or operating expenses, in our consolidated statement of operations, as applicable to the transactions for which the forward exchange contracts were established. Regarding those contracts which are designated as hedges for accounting purposes, any portion of those contracts deemed ineffective would be charged to earnings, in the same manner as those contracts charged to earnings above, in the period the ineffectiveness was determined.

We perform a sensitivity analysis, on those contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to determine the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, we assume a hypothetical change in U.S. dollar against foreign exchange rates. Based on all foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of September 28, 2013, a 10% devaluation of the U.S. dollar compared to the level of foreign currency exchange rates for currencies under contract as of September 28, 2013 would result in an increase of approximately $0.3 million of net unrealized foreign currency gains. Conversely, a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar would result in an increase approximately of $0.3 million of net unrealized foreign currency loss.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to our Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility carries interest rates that are tied to LIBOR and the prime rate, among other institutional lending rates (depending on the particular origination of borrowing), and therefore our statements of operations and cash flows are exposed to changes in those interest rates. At September 28, 2013, there was no outstanding balance on our Credit Facility. The balance of our Credit Facility at September 28, 2013, is not indicative of future balances that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Any increases in the applicable interest rate(s) would cause an increase to the interest expense on our Credit Facility relative to any outstanding balance at that date.
