Non-GAAP Disclosure: The filing highlights that sales for Coach Japan are presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects to assist investors in understanding performance on a constant-currency basis.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management asserts that presenting Japan sales on a constant-currency basis is appropriate to help investors understand the increase in net sales over the prior-year period and to compare results with prior guidance.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard legal disclaimers stating that the press release information is "furnished" rather than "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not subject to liability under that section unless expressly incorporated by reference.
