Shareholder Return Programs

Given Tapestry's strong operational results, robust balance sheet, significant free cash flow generation, and outlook for growth, the Company now expects to return $1.5 billion, which is approximately 100 percent of its anticipated adjusted free cash flow, to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in Fiscal 2026. This represents an increase from its previous outlook of $1.3 billion. Programs include:

• Dividend: The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share payable on March 23, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 6, 2026. In Fiscal 2026, the Company continues to anticipate an annual dividend of $1.60 per share.

During the fiscal second quarter, the Company spent $400 million to repurchase approximately 3.6 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of approximately $112 per share. On a year-to-date basis through the fiscal second quarter, the Company spent a total of $900 million to repurchase approximately 8.3 million shares at an average share price of approximately $109.

Financial Outlook

Tapestry is raising its Fiscal 2026 outlook, which is provided on a non-GAAP basis:

• Revenue of over $7.75 billion, representing approximately 11% growth versus prior year on a reported basis; excluding Stuart Weitzman, pro forma revenue is expected to grow approximately 15% on a nominal basis and increase 14% in constant currency. Foreign currency is expected to be a 70-basis point tailwind to topline results in the fiscal year. This is ahead of prior guidance for revenue to be in the area of $7.3 billion and increase 7% to 8% on a pro forma, nominal basis;
• Operating margin expansion of approximately 180 basis points versus prior year, compared to previous guidance for an increase in the area of 50 basis points versus prior year. Based on the strength of the underlying business, the Company expects to more than offset a negative tariff and duty headwind of nearly 200 basis points, resulting in both gross margin expansion and SG&A leverage anticipated for Fiscal 2026;
• Net interest expense of approximately $65 million, unchanged from prior guidance;
• Tax rate of approximately 17% compared to prior guidance of approximately 18%;
• Weighted average diluted share count of approximately 211 million shares versus prior guidance of 212 million shares;
• Earnings per diluted share of $6.40 to $6.45, representing growth over 25% compared to prior year, and exceeding previous guidance of $5.45 to $5.60;
• Adjusted free cash flow in the area of $1.5 billion, exceeding prior guidance of $1.3 billion.

Please note this outlook:

• Embeds U.S. trade and tax policies as of February 1, 2026, including the impact of OECD's Pillar Two guidance;
• Includes foreign currency exchange rates using spot rates at the time of forecast;
• Assumes no material worsening of inflationary pressures or consumer confidence;
• Excludes one-time costs associated with the sale of Stuart Weitzman, which closed on August 4, 2025, as well as the brand's results for the period under ownership in Fiscal 2026. The exclusion of Stuart Weitzman is expected to be immaterial to operating profit and earnings per diluted share in the fiscal year; and
• Excludes non-recurring costs associated with the Company's organizational efficiency efforts.

Given the dynamic nature of these and other external factors, financial results could differ materially from the outlook provided.

Management utilizes non-GAAP and constant currency measures to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected and to make decisions about Company resources and performance. The Company believes presenting these non-GAAP measures, which exclude items that are not comparable from period to period, is useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company's historical performance. Additionally, the Company believes presenting these metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors and analysts to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these performance measures and provide a framework to assess how business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects.

The Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The Company operates on a global basis and reports financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Percentage increases/decreases in net sales for the Company and each segment have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating foreign-denominated sales into U.S. dollars and compared to the same periods in the prior quarter and fiscal year. The Company calculates constant currency net sales results by translating current period net sales in local currency using the prior year period's currency conversion rate. Due to the sale of Stuart Weitzman on August 4, 2025, the Company presents Pro forma sales and related growth rates, which exclude Stuart Weitzman's Net sales from both the current and prior year periods. In the Summary of Pro Forma Revenue Information table, Greater China includes mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR. Other Asia includes Australia, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, and other countries primarily within Asia. Other primarily represents royalties earned from the Company's licensing partners and sales in the Middle East.

The segment operating income and supplemental segment SG&A expenses presented in the Consolidated Segment Data, and GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation Table below, as well as SG&A expense ratio, and operating margin, are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures have been presented both including and excluding acquisition and divestiture costs and organizational efficiency costs for the three and six months ended December 27, 2025; meanwhile, they have been presented both including and excluding acquisition costs for the three and six months ended December 28, 2024. In addition, Operating Income (loss), Interest expense, other expense (income), Provision for income taxes, Net income (loss), and Net Income (loss) per diluted common share, have been presented both including and excluding acquisition and divestiture costs and organizational efficiency costs for the three and six months ended December 27, 2025; meanwhile, they have been presented both including and excluding acquisition costs for the three and six months ended December 28, 2024. Loss on extinguishment of debt has been presented both including and excluding acquisition costs for the three and six months ended December 28, 2024.

The Company also presents Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, and is calculated by taking Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment, plus Items affecting comparability of Acquisition and Divestiture Costs and Organizational Efficiency Costs, to the extent they were cash in nature and recorded through SG&A, and Changes in operating assets and liabilities of items affecting comparability. The Company believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available after capital expenditures for operational expenses, investment in our business and items affecting comparability. The Company believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it measures the Company's ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet, invest in future growth and return capital to stockholders.

The Company also presents Leverage Ratio, which is a non-GAAP metric, and is calculated as total debt, which includes Current debt and Long-term debt, divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net Income (Loss), excluding, Interest expense, net; Loss on extinguishment of debt; Provision for income taxes; Depreciation and amortization; Cloud computing amortization; Share-based compensation; and Items affecting comparability including Acquisition and Divestiture Costs, Organizational Efficiency Costs and Impairment. The Company believes that the Leverage Ratio is an important metric to assess the strength of our balance sheet and credit quality and as a metric showing our commitment to our Investment Grade rating.
