Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the impact of economic conditions, recession and inflationary measures; the impact of the coronavirus pandemic; our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products; our ability to retain the value of our brands and to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, including our ability to execute on our e-commerce and digital strategies; our ability to successfully implement the initiatives under our 2025 growth strategy; the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace; our ability to control costs; the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations on our sales or operating results; the risk of cyber security threats and privacy or data security breaches; our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights; the impact of tax and other legislation; the risks associated with potential changes to international trade agreements and the imposition of additional duties on importing our products; our ability to achieve intended benefits, cost savings and synergies from acquisitions, including our proposed acquisition of Capri Holdings Limited; the impact of pending and potential future legal proceedings; and the risks associated with climate change and other corporate responsibility issues.

These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations is described in “Risk Factors” on in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K, which we have filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference herein, and in future filings with the SEC.
