oliver.chen@cowen.com
Reiterate Outperform. EPS beat driven by revenue and margin upside at Coach (+7%
vs. 3.5%). We like TPR’s cost management, Gen Z relevant marketing, new customer
Katy Hallberg acquisition, & +MSD% AUR growth. New FY24E EPS guidance (beat by 17c, raised by 10c)
646 562 1321 reflects stronger revenues at Coach partially offset by challenges at KS & SW, while also
katy.hallberg@cowen.com benefiting from margin expansion on freight and operations.
Tom Nass, CFA
646 562 1316 TPR exceeded expectations with EPS of $1.63 vs. Street's $1.46, primarily driven by +7% cc
thomas.nass@cowen.com revenue growth at Coach along with +300bps of EBIT margin expansion for the brand. The
Neil Goh business also saw impressive cost control across Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, which
646 562 1322 contributed to better than expected operating income. Sales were supported by strong
neil.goh@cowen.com international trends (+19% in Greater China, +11% in Europe, +9% in Other Asia), while North
America was in-line to last year. Further, the company saw +MSD% trends in both stores

AT A GLANCE

Our Investment Thesis Forthcoming Catalysts

We rate TPR Outperform given: (1) prospects for EPS growth on average unit retail and gross ■ 3Q24 EPS in May
margin increases at Coach and Kate Spade, (2) Coach Outlet strength driving new customer ■ CPRI Acquisition closing
acquisition, especially value-oriented younger customers, and (3) further growth prospects
from higher e-comm penetration and China penetration, both of which carry higher margins.
We also like TPR's ability to generate sustainable FCF, each brand's international growth
opportunities, and Coach's consistent performance.

Base Case Assumptions Upside Scenario Downside Scenario

■ Long-term annual growth rate +HSD%- ■ Tapestry, Inc. revenues up +LT% ■ Weak consumer confidence pressuring
LDD% as brand awareness and inventory ■ Kate Spade & Stuart Weitzman sales discretionary spending
productivity increase improving faster than anticipated ■ Spending by Chinese consumers falls off
■ Gross margin expansion with lower ■ Gross & EBIT margin expansion beating ■ Digital channel disruptions
promotions, higher AURs expectations
■ SG&A expense reductions leading to
lower SG&A dollars

TD COWEN ESG SCORES

Tapestry Tapestry(TPR) ESG Material Category Rankings as of February 8, 2024


NYSE: TPR
Top 3 Material ESG Categories Dynamic Materiality TM Score
ESG Score: 58/100 Product Lifecycle 23% 76
Material Sourcing 20% N/A
ESG Industry Percentile: 24th Employee Health 11% 78

ESG MATERIALITY
Establishing materiality is critical to evaluating a company’s ESG performance. Factors most material in one sector (or to a particular company) may not be as important to another. In
addition, the factors that are material – and the degree to which factors are material – can change over time.

Applying data to frameworks established by SASB (the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) and by Truvalue Labs, we present in the chart above the three most material
ESG factors that investors should focus on for the company that is the subject of this report; the Dynamic Materiality™ of each factor (i.e., what percentage of overall materiality the
category represents for the subject company); and a Score for the subject company in each of these three categories (on a 0 to 100 basis, with 50 being average).

We also calculate an overall ESG Score for the subject company, which is presented above (in green) and on the cover of this report. A full explanation of how this ESG Score is derived
is presented below.

HOW ARE TD COWEN’S ESG SCORES CALCULATED?

TD Cowen leverages technology from Truvalue Labs to generate our ESG scores. Truvalue Labs uses artificial intelligence to capture the stakeholder view of how companies are
performing on ESG metrics, using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) materiality framework (www.sasb.org). These data are leveraged to calculate a score for
each company, which allows TD Cowen to have a common framework and uniform way to approach ESG discussions with our clients. TD Cowen ESG scores appear on Company and
Company Quick Take notes and are updated daily.

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?


The process begins with capturing unstructured data from more than 100,000 sources, in 14 languages. These data are culled from a wide range of sources with varied perspectives,
including industry publications, news outlets, NGOs, trade unions, government sources, legal and regulatory filings, and academic publications.

Natural language processing is used to interpret semantic content from the original sources and generate analytics by applying criteria consistent with established sustainability and
ESG frameworks. Performance is scored on a 0 to 100 scale. A score of 50 represents a neutral impact. Scores above 50 indicate more positive performance, and scores below reflect
more negative performance. A score of NA means not enough data is available on the company to generate a score.

Coach Powers Solid 2Q Performance on Sales & Margin


Coach reported solid +7% cc revenue growth as the brand maintains impressive momentum
across geographies. Leather goods remain a key margin and traffic driver due to continued
innovation across the Tabby family among other icons, while the brand is also seeing growth
within the lifestyle product. Note, Tabby has doubled year-over-year. Further, TPR continues
to execute on +MSD% AUR growth through higher initial pricing for new products and
less discounting. Meanwhile, Kate Spade saw sales decline -6% on a cc basis, although
operating income of $72.1mm was ahead of Street expectations of $59.6mm on effective
cost management. Near-term, we expect sales to be supported by the launch of the online
outlet site and incremental newness slated for 2H.

Figure 1 - TPR Sales Mix

TPR Raises FY24E Outlook on Better 2Q Trends, But Cautious Approach to 2H
TPR is maintaining the reported revenue outlook of $6.7bn, which implies ~1% growth, and
includes ~100bps of anticipated FX headwinds. That said, key components to the reaffirmed
revenue guidance include stronger performance by Coach and moderating headwinds from
F/X, although lower overall expectations for Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman. The new
guidance reflects a ~10c increase to the EPS outlook ($4.20-4.25) which includes the 17c beat
in 2Q as well as further reinvestment into the brands through the 2H. By geography, TPR
expects North America revenue in-line to slightly positive, Greater China +MSD%, Other Asia
+LDD%, Europe +HSD%, and Japan +MSD%. On the margin side, TPR is guiding for 200bps of
gross margin expansion, which includes a 120bps benefit from freight, as well as ~100bps of
deleverage on SG&A related to greater investments in growth.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND RISKS

Valuation Methodology

Luxury Brands:
Our valuation methodology is primarily based on Price-to-Earnings (P/E), followed by
Enterprise Value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), Price-to-Free Cash Flow (P/FCF) ratios, and DCF
analysis. We may also use Enterprise Value to Revenue (EV/Revs) for companies operating
at depressed levels of profitability. In some cases we use probability weighed, scenario-
based decision trees as a basis for devising our price targets. We incorporate the company’s
and its peers’ historical and current valuation multiples, as well as our analysis of future
growth rates, company-specific risks, return on invested capital, and other inputs from our
research when devising our valuation multiples and the probabilities we assign to different
scenarios when developing our price targets.
We make investment recommendations on certain early stage, pre-revenue companies
based upon an assessment of their business model, technology, probability of market
success, and the potential market opportunity, balanced by an assessment of applicable
risks. Such companies may not be assigned a price target.

Investment Risks

Luxury Brands:
Risks to the companies in our sector include risks and uncertainties associated with the
global economic environment and consumer spending, as well as general competition
within the consumer and fashion products industries and fluctuating consumer demand
trends, which can create variability in sales and margins. Increases in the prices of raw
materials, rent, freight, labor, tariffs, or manufacturers’ inability to produce goods on time or
to specifications may negatively impact results. Execution flaws and the departure of certain
key executives may negatively affect performance and financial results. Legal, regulatory,
political, currency, and economic risks, as well as challenges to maintain favorable brand
recognition, loyalty, and reputation for quality, may affect the ability to conduct business in
both domestic and international markets.

Risks To The Price Target

The turnaround effort may not progress at Kate Spade as well as hoped, resulting in a
delay and risk to returning to growth. Increasing sales mix of footwear and apparel may
exert downward pressure on margins. Fashion and inventory risks in handbag, accessories,
outerwear, and footwear may hamper results across brands. Execution risk, related to new
executives including the CEO and the head designer, may affect results. Competition from
CPRI, Tory Burch and other brands, as well as the resale market, may intensify, resulting in
increased market share loss.
