“For more than 50 years, we have embraced the idea of timelessness - it defines not only our products but our business and our culture. It has guided us through the best and the worst of times and will carry us through this unprecedented challenge too,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman & Chief Creative Officer. “Together our leaders and teams worldwide remain focused on not only enduring through this global pandemic but thriving for decades to come, and supporting the communities where we operate around the world.”
“From the onset of COVID-19, our teams moved quickly around the world to protect the safety and well-being of our employees, consumers, and communities, while also taking steps to ensure our long-term financial health and bring relevant digital commerce and experiences to our consumers,” said Patrice Louvet, President & Chief Executive Officer. “As we manage for the near- and long-term, we remain committed to consistently delivering sustainable growth and value creation for all of our stakeholders. We are confident in our ability to do this thanks to the strength of our business, our balance sheet and our brands, and especially the resilience and commitment of our diverse global teams.”
Mr. Louvet continued, “Reflecting on our performance prior to the crisis, our underlying progress was strong, as our AUR and overall brand elevation journey continued across every region, exceeding our expectations for both the quarter and year.”
COVID-19-Related Business Actions
From the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, our priority has been to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, consumers and the communities in which we operate around the world. Taking into account the guidance of local governments and global health organizations, we previously announced several actions in response to the pandemic, including:
- Employee Support. We took steps from the start of the crisis to protect our teams including freezing all travel, asking employees to work from home, deploying deep cleanings in all work locations and implementing staggered work schedules in our distribution centers. We continue to offer our teams, including those placed on furlough, access to our Employee Relief Fund, which provides grants to Ralph Lauren employees facing special circumstances and financial hardships during this time, including medical, eldercare or childcare needs.
- Giving Back. The Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation committed $10 million toward emergency COVID-19 relief, with funds allocated to the World Health Organization, our longstanding partners in cancer care, Employee Relief Fund for Ralph Lauren employees, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) / Vogue Fashion Fund for COVID-19 relief. In addition, the Company announced the production of 250,000 masks and 25,000 isolation gowns for donation to workers on the front lines, in partnership with our U.S. manufacturing partners. The Company is also donating 1.5 million clothing products to support hundreds of thousands of frontline workers and families in need around the world through charity networks as well as many of the Company’s long-standing Pink Pony partners focused on cancer care.
- Executive Compensation. Our Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, Ralph Lauren, will forego his entire salary for Fiscal Year 2021 in addition to his full Fiscal Year 2020 bonus. Our President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrice Louvet, will reduce his salary by 50% during the crisis. Every other member of the Executive and Global Leadership Team, a group of 140 business leaders across the Company, will reduce their salaries by 20% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. Lastly, our Board of Directors will forego their quarterly cash compensation for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021.
- Employee Furloughs and Compensation. The majority of our store employees in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world were paid at their normal compensation from the time store closures went into effect in mid-March through April 11, 2020. Subsequent to that date, a substantial portion of our store employees and a portion of our corporate employees were placed on unpaid temporary furlough, with benefits including healthcare. International store employees in regions where retail operations remain closed will receive compensation as guided by local governments and authorities.
- Temporary Store Closures. Since the start of the pandemic, we closed a substantial number of stores across each of our reportable regions. We are assessing reopenings on a location-by-location basis, as guided by local governments and health authorities. We have also reopened approximately two thirds of our stores in Europe and nearly half of our stores in North America through the last half of May. As we reopen stores, we are implementing new health and safety protocols and required training for all store employees before returning to work, along with new ways of engaging with consumers.
- Online Operations. Our digital flagship businesses and fulfillment operations resumed following a brief closure period in late March to enhance health and safety protocols in our distribution centers. We continue to adhere to health protocols in our distribution centers including extensive deep cleanings, social distancing and staggered work shifts and break schedules. As consumers increasingly embrace omni-channel retailing, we are bolstering our connected retailing capabilities including digital clienteling, Buy Online Ship From Store, Buy Online Pick Up From Store, curbside pickup, and other initiatives.
- Balance Sheet and Liquidity Considerations. In addition to a robust balance sheet going into the pandemic, the Company has taken further preemptive actions to preserve cash and strengthen its liquidity while navigating the evolving global pandemic, including: careful management of expenses; reduced or delayed capital expenditures and inventory commitments; drawing down $475 million from the Company’s Global Credit Facility to bolster cash balances; halting any incremental share repurchases during the COVID-19 crisis; and temporary suspension of the Company’s quarterly cash dividend.
- Supplier Payments. Our suppliers around the world are another critical stakeholder for our Company. In accordance with our responsible purchasing practices, we committed to settling payment for all finished goods and goods already in production.

The Company had $270 million in capital expenditures in Fiscal 2020, compared to $198 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily related to office consolidation in the New York/New Jersey area and continued enhancements to our global information technology systems, partly offset by lower expenditures in our North America business compared to the prior year period.
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, the Company repurchased approximately $152 million of Class A Common Stock in the fourth quarter for a total of approximately $650 million in Fiscal 2020.
Full Year Fiscal 2021 and First Quarter Outlook
Due to the high level of uncertainty and evolving situation surrounding COVID-19, we are suspending all future guidance.
We expect our financial results for both periods to be significantly negatively impacted by the pandemic. Though the timing and path of recovery in each market presents many uncertainties, we have developed scenarios through which we plan to safely return our businesses to growth and value creation.

Effective beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, operating results related to the Company's business in Latin America are included within its Europe segment due to a change in the way in which the Company manages this business. Previously, such results were included within the Company's other non-reportable segments. All prior period segment information has been recast to reflect this change on a comparative basis. |

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Since Ralph Lauren Corporation is a global company, the comparability of its operating results reported in U.S. Dollars is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which it transacts change in value over time compared to the U.S. Dollar. Such fluctuations can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results. As such, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company’s discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency. The Company presents constant currency financial information, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as a supplement to its reported operating results. The Company uses constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how its businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes this information is useful to investors for facilitating comparisons of operating results and better identifying trends in the Company’s businesses. The constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
This earnings release also includes certain other non-U.S. GAAP financial measures relating to the impact of charges and other items as described herein. The Company uses non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and to better represent the manner in which it conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding items that are not comparable from period to period helps investors and others compare operating performance between two periods. While the Company considers non-U.S. GAAP measures useful in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-U.S. GAAP measures reported by other companies.
Adjustments made during the fiscal periods presented include charges recorded in connection with the Company’s restructuring plans, as well as certain other charges associated with other non-recurring events, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. The income tax provision has been adjusted for the tax-related effects of these charges, which were calculated using the respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction, as well as enactment-related charges recorded in connection with domestic and international tax reform. Included in this earnings release are reconciliations between the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures before and after these adjustments.
