Key Financial Metrics
The filing serves as a notification of the issuance of a press release containing financial results. The 8-K text itself does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It references the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for these details.
Non-GAAP Metrics Discussed: The filing notes the inclusion of supplemental Non-GAAP financial information in the press release, specifically:
- Percentage changes in sales, net income, earnings per share, and operating income.

- Comparisons adjusted for the 14th and 53rd weeks of the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter and year.
- Coach Japan sales presented with and without currency fluctuation effects.
Material Changes
The filing does not explicitly state the magnitude of material changes in the text provided. It indicates that the attached press release presents year-over-year improvements in metrics from continuing operations, adjusted for an additional week of operating results in the prior fiscal period and certain items affecting comparability.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management states that presenting metrics both including and excluding the impact of the additional week in the prior fiscal year helps investors understand year-over-year improvements. Additionally, separating currency fluctuation effects for Coach Japan sales is intended to clarify the impact of significant year-over-year currency movements.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing text does not contain specific risk factors or contingencies beyond the standard disclaimer that the press release information is furnished and not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2010 on year-over-year comparisons.
- Review the currency-adjusted sales figures for Coach Japan to isolate operational performance from foreign exchange effects.
- Check for any "certain items" excluded from Non-GAAP calculations that may affect comparability.
