SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements,” based on current expectations, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our management’s current expectations.

Future results will vary from historical results and historical growth is not indicative of future trends, which will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the successful execution of our growth strategies; (ii) the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace; (iii) our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations; (iv) changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products; (v) our ability to successfully anticipate consumer preferences for accessories and fashion trends; (vi) our ability to control costs; (vii) the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in our sales on our operating results; (viii) our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights; and such other risk factors as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010.

3.	Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and employee benefit and share awards.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding and calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	April 2,		March 27,		April 2,		March 27,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Net income	$	186,015	$	157,636	$	678,319	$	539,413

Total weighted-average basic shares		294,841		309,249		296,200		314,734

Dilutive securities:
Employee benefit and share award plans		1,911		1,453		1,689		1,148
Stock option programs		4,868		3,258		4,700		2,673

Total weighted-average diluted shares		301,620		313,960		302,589		318,555

Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.63	$	0.51	$	2.29	$	1.71
Diluted	$	0.62	$	0.50	$	2.24	$	1.69

At April 2, 2011, options to purchase 101 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these options’ exercise prices, ranging from $54.56 to $55.91, were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

At March 27, 2010, options to purchase 4,306 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these options’ exercise prices, ranging from $36.86 to $51.56, were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	April 2,		March 27,		April 2,		March 27,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Share Unit Awards

The grant-date fair value of each Coach share unit award is equal to the fair value of Coach stock at the grant date. The following table summarizes information about non-vested share units as of and for the period ended April 2, 2011:

	Number of Non-vested Share Units			Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value

Non-vested at July 3, 2010		3,780		$	29.40
Granted		2,026			39.99

Forfeited		(171	)		32.62
Non-vested at April 2, 2011		4,349			33.56

At April 2, 2011, $91,690 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of share awards granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was $39.99 and $29.92, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was $55,540 and $20,574, respectively.

5.	Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company categorizes its assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Coach currently does not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.

(unaudited)

The following table shows the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities at April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010:

	Level 2				Level 3
	April 2,		July 3,		April 2,		July 3,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Assets:
Long-term investment - auction rate security (a)	$	-	$	-	$	6,000	$	6,000
Derivative assets - zero-cost collar options (b)		4,889		2,052		-		-
Total	$	4,889	$	2,052	$	6,000	$	6,000

Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities - zero-cost collar options (b)	$	3,506	$	5,120	$	-	$	-
Derivative liabilities - cross-currency swap (c)		-		-		7,664		2,418
Total	$	3,506	$	5,120	$	7,664	$	2,418

(a) The fair value of the security is determined using a model that takes into consideration the financial conditions of the issuer and the bond insurer, current market conditions and the value of the collateral bonds.

(b) The Company enters into zero-cost collar options to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from Coach Japan's and Coach Canada’s U.S. dollar-denominated inventory purchases. The fair value of these cash flow hedges is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk.

(c) The Company is a party to a cross-currency swap transaction to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from Coach Japan's U.S. dollar-denominated fixed rate intercompany loan. The fair value of this cash flow hedge is primarily based on the forward curves of the specific indices upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the Company's credit risk.

As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the Company’s investments included an auction rate security (“ARS”), deemed a long-term investment classified within other assets, as the auction for this security has been unsuccessful. The underlying investments of the ARS are scheduled to mature in 2035. This ARS is currently rated A, an investment grade rating afforded by credit rating agencies. We have determined that the significant majority of the inputs used to value this security fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the inputs are based on unobservable estimates. The fair value of the Company’s ARS has been $6,000 since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s cross-currency swap derivatives were included within accrued liabilities. The Company uses a management model to value these derivatives, which includes a combination of observable inputs, such as tenure of the agreement and notional amount, and unobservable inputs, such as the Company’s credit rating. The table below presents the changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and 2010:

The Company’s short-term investments of $73,419 and $99,928 as of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively, consist of time deposits, U.S. treasury bills, commercial paper and short-term corporate debt securities which are classified as held-to-maturity based on our positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. They are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value due to their short maturities.

6.	Commitments and Contingencies

At April 2, 2011, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $106,349. The letters of credit, which expire at various dates through 2014, primarily collateralize the Company’s obligation to third parties for the purchase of inventory.

In the ordinary course of business, Coach is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, Coach’s General Counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on Coach’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Substantially all purchases and sales involving international parties are denominated in U.S. dollars, which limits the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to Coach Japan’s and Coach Canada’s U.S. dollar-denominated inventory purchases and Coach Japan’s $139,400 U.S. dollar-denominated fixed rate intercompany loan. Coach uses derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. These derivative transactions are in accordance with the Company’s risk management policies. Coach does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

Coach Japan and Coach Canada enter into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage the exchange rate risk related to their inventory purchases. As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, $171,948 and $248,555 of foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding, respectively.

On July 1, 2005, to manage the exchange rate risk related to its $231,000 intercompany loan, Coach Japan entered into a cross-currency swap transaction. The terms of the cross-currency swap transaction included an exchange of a Japanese yen fixed interest rate for a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate and an exchange of Japanese yen and U.S. dollar-based notional values. On July 2, 2010, the maturity date of the original intercompany loan, Coach Japan repaid the loan and settled the cross-currency swap, and entered into a new $139,400 intercompany loan agreement. Concurrently, to manage the exchange rate risk on the new loan, Coach Japan entered into a new cross-currency swap transaction, the terms of which included an exchange of a Japanese yen fixed interest rate for a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate. The loan matures on June 30, 2011, at which point the swap requires an exchange of Japanese yen and U.S. dollar based notional values.

The Company’s derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of gains or losses on the derivative instruments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of gains or losses on the derivative instruments are recognized in current earnings and are included within net cash provided by operating activities.

9.	Segment Information

The Company operates its business in two reportable segments: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The Company's reportable segments represent channels of distribution that offer similar merchandise and service and utilize similar marketing strategies. Sales of Coach products through Company-operated stores in North America, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China, the Internet and the Coach catalog constitute the Direct-to-Consumer segment. The Indirect segment includes sales to wholesale customers in over 20 countries, including the United States, and royalties earned on licensed product. In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, the Company's executive officers regularly evaluate the net sales and operating income of these segments. Operating income is the gross margin of the segment less direct expenses of the segment. Unallocated corporate expenses include production variances, general marketing, administration and information systems expenses, as well as distribution and consumer service expenses.

10.	Stock Repurchase Program

Purchases of Coach’s common stock are made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through the open market. Repurchased shares of common stock become authorized but unissued shares and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.

Coach accounts for stock repurchases and retirements by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in-capital and retained earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances, beginning with the earliest issuance. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, cumulative stock repurchases allocated to retained earnings have resulted in an accumulated deficit balance. Since its initial public offering, the Company has not experienced a net loss in any fiscal year, and the net accumulated deficit balance in stockholders’ equity is attributable to the cumulative stock repurchase activity.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased and retired 3,530 and 11,261 shares of common stock at an average cost of $54.51 and $35.52 per share, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased and retired 14,070 and 19,826 shares of common stock at an average cost of $50.99 and $35.31 per share, respectively. As of April 2, 2011, Coach had $1,342,183 remaining in the stock repurchase program.

11.	Change in Accounting Principle

Coach adopted the FASB’s guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, codified within ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” on July 1, 2007, the first day of fiscal 2008. At adoption, Coach elected to classify interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of interest expense included within Interest income, net. On July 4, 2010, the Company changed its method of accounting to include such amounts as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company believes this change is preferable because: it will improve Coach’s comparability with its industry peers; it is more consistent with the way in which the Company manages the settlement of uncertain tax positions as one overall amount inclusive of interest and penalties; and it will provide more meaningful information to investors by including only interest expense related to revolving credit facilities and long-term debt financing activities within Interest income, net.

The change in accounting method for presentation of interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions was completed in accordance with ASC 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Accordingly, the change in accounting principle has been applied retrospectively by adjusting the financial statement amounts for the prior periods presented. The change to current or historical periods presented herein due to the change in accounting principle was limited to income statement classification, with no effect on net income.

The following tables detail the retrospective application impact on previously reported amounts:

For the Quarter Ended March 27, 2010	As Previously Reported			Effect of Accounting Principle Change		Adjusted
Interest income, net	$	104		$	1,922	$	2,026
Provision for income taxes		91,590			1,922		93,512

12.	Recent Accounting Developments

ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” was amended in January 2010 to require additional disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning on December 27, 2009, except for certain disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to Level 3 fair value measurements, which were effective for the Company beginning on January 2, 2011. The disclosure guidance adopted on December 27, 2009 and January 2, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

13.	Subsequent Event

In April 2011, Coach’s Board of Directors voted to increase the Company’s cash dividend to an expected annual rate of $0.90 per share starting with the dividend to be paid in July 2011.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of Coach’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with Coach’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this document. When used herein, the terms “Coach,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Coach, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries. The fiscal year ending July 2, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”) is a 52-week period. The fiscal year ended July 3, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”) was a 53-week period.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Coach is a leading American marketer of fine accessories and gifts for women and men. Our product offerings include handbags, women’s and men’s accessories, footwear, jewelry, wearables, business cases, sunwear, travel bags, fragrance and watches. Coach operates in two segments: Direct-to-Consumer and Indirect. The Direct-to-Consumer segment includes sales to consumers through Company-operated stores in North America, Japan, Hong Kong and Macau, and mainland China, the Internet and the Coach catalog. The Indirect segment includes sales to wholesale customers in over 20 countries, including the United States, and royalties earned on licensed product. As Coach’s business model is based on multi-channel international distribution, our success does not depend solely on the performance of a single channel or geographic area.

In order to sustain growth within our global framework, we continue to focus on two key growth strategies: increased global distribution, with an emphasis on North America and China, and improved store sales productivity. To that end, we are focused on four key initiatives:

Build market share in the North American women’s accessories market. As part of our culture of innovation and continuous improvement, we implemented a number of initiatives to accelerate the level of newness, elevate our product offering and enhance the in-store and online experience. These initiatives, supported by a comprehensive digital media strategy, will enable us to continue to leverage our leadership position in the market.

Continue to grow our North American retail store base primarily by opening stores in new markets and adding stores in under-penetrated existing markets. We believe that North America can support about 500 retail stores in total, including up to 30 in Canada. Through the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we opened two net new retail locations. The pace of our future retail store openings will depend upon the economic environment and reflect opportunities in the marketplace, with a focus on new markets.

Build Men’s market share globally, with a focus in North America, Japan and the rest of Asia. The Men’s market is a global multichannel opportunity for locations in retail stores, factory locations and through distributor locations. We have implemented a number of initiatives to elevate our Men’s product offering through image-enhancing and accessible locations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we opened our first eight Men’s standalone factory stores. In addition, based on our initial success with our Men’s store on Bleecker Street, we will be opening additional Men’s retail store locations later during fiscal 2011 in select markets in North America.

Raise brand awareness in emerging markets, notably in China, where our brand awareness is increasing and the category is developing rapidly. China represents the single largest geographic opportunity for Coach, outside of North America, and the pace of our future retail store openings will reflect this opportunity.

We believe the growth strategies outlined above will allow us to deliver long-term superior returns on our investments and drive increased cash flows from operating activities. However, the current macroeconomic environment, while improving, continues to present a challenging retail market in which consumers, notably in North America and Japan, remain cautious. The Company believes long-term growth can still be achieved through a combination of expanded distribution with an emphasis on China, along with a focus on innovation to support productivity and disciplined expense control. Our multi-channel distribution model is diversified and includes substantial international and factory businesses, which complement our full-price U.S. business. With an essentially debt-free balance sheet and significant cash position, we believe we are well positioned to manage our business to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities.

THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2011

The key metrics of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were:

Earnings per diluted share increased 22.8% to $0.62.

Net sales increased 14.5% to $951 million.

Direct-to-consumer sales rose 14.5% to $832 million.

Comparable store sales in North America increased 10.3%, primarily due to overall improved conversion in our factory and full-priced stores.

In North America, Coach opened five new factory and closed three retail stores, bringing the total number of retail and factory stores to 344 and 134, respectively, at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Coach China results continued to be strong with double-digit growth in comparable stores. Coach China opened three net new locations, bringing the total number of locations at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to 55.

Coach Japan opened three net new locations, bringing the total number of locations at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to 167.

As a result of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the Company estimates that sales in Japan were impacted by approximately $20 million and earnings per share by about two and a half cents during the quarter. Due to the events in Japan, as of the end of the quarter, seven stores remained temporarily closed.

Total net sales	$	950.7	$	830.7		14.5			100.0	%		100.0	%

Direct-to-Consumer

Net sales increased 14.5% to $831.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $726.2 million during the same period in fiscal 2010, primarily driven by sales increases in our Company-operated stores in North America and China.

In North America, net sales increased 15.5% driven by a 10.3% increase in comparable store sales and sales from new and expanded stores. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Coach opened one net new retail store and 15 new factory stores, and expanded four factory stores in North America. In Japan, net sales increased 0.5% driven by an approximately $4.4 million or 2.5% positive impact from foreign currency exchange. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Coach opened 7 net new locations and expanded four locations in Japan. Coach China results continued to be strong with double-digit percentage growth in comparable store sales. Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Coach opened 18 net new stores in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Indirect

Net sales increased 14.0% to $119.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $104.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was driven primarily by a 13.9% increase in Coach International Wholesale and U.S. Wholesale net shipments. Licensing revenue of approximately $6.9 million and $6.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, is included in Indirect sales.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 1.9% to $253.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $249.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, operating income increased 12.2% to $279.5 million. Operating margin decreased to 26.7% as compared to 30.0% in the same period of the prior year. Excluding items affecting comparability, operating margin was 29.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gross profit increased 12.4% to $691.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $615.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2010. Gross margin was 72.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 74.1% during the same period of fiscal 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19.5% to $437.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $366.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by increased selling expenses. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $412.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 46.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 44.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 43.4% as we leveraged our selling expense base on higher sales. See discussion of items affecting comparability in Non-GAAP Measures.

Selling expenses were $280.1 million, or 29.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $255.8 million, or 30.8% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase in selling expenses was due to higher operating expenses in Coach China and North American stores due to higher sales and new store openings. Additionally, selling expenses of Reed Krakoff stores contributed to the dollar increase since the brand was not launched until the beginning of fiscal 2011. Coach China and North American store expenses as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to operating efficiencies and sales leverage. The decrease in Coach Japan operating expenses in constant currency of $7.8 million was offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates which increased reported expenses by approximately $7.9 million.

Advertising, marketing, and design costs were $56.1 million, or 5.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $44.8 million, or 5.4% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to marketing expenses related to consumer communications, which includes our digital strategy through coach.com, our global e-commerce sites, marketing sites and social networking. The Company utilizes and continues to explore implementing new technologies such as our global web presence, with informational websites in 17 countries, social networking and blogs as cost-effective consumer communication opportunities to increase on-line and store sales and build brand awareness. Also contributing to the increase were new design expenditures and development costs for new merchandising initiatives.

Distribution and consumer service expenses were $14.6 million, or 1.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $11.7 million, or 1.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. To support our growth in China and the region, during the second half of fiscal 2010 we established an Asia distribution center in Shanghai, owned and operated by a third-party, allowing us to better manage the logistics in this region. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Asia distribution center contributed to the increase in distribution and consumer service expenses; however in the long run, the Company expects the Asia distribution center to reduce costs as a percentage of net sales.

Administrative expenses were $87.0 million, or 9.2% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $54.2 million, or 6.5% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, administrative expenses were $61.3 million, representing 6.5% of net sales. The increase in administrative expenses was primarily due to items affecting comparability and higher share-based compensation.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income was $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease is attributable to lower returns on our investments primarily due to changes in interest rates, including interest rates on the cross-currency swaps, and lower cash and investment balances during the current fiscal year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 26.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 37.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding the benefit from the items affecting comparability, the effective tax rate was 33.25% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a favorable settlement of a multi-year tax return examination and higher profitability in lower tax rate jurisdictions in which income is earned, due to the increased globalization of the Company, and a lower effective state tax rate.

Net Income

Net income was $186.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $157.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily due to an improvement in operating income as well as a decrease in the Company's effective tax rate.

								Percentage of
	Net Sales							Total Net Sales

Total net sales	$	3,126.8	$	2,657.1		17.7			100.0	%		100.0	%

Direct-to-Consumer

Net sales increased 16.8% to $2.7 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 from $2.3 billion during the same period in fiscal 2010, driven by sales increases in our Company-operated stores in North America, Japan and China.

In North America, net sales increased 16.7% driven by an 10.8% increase in comparable store sales and sales from new and expanded stores. Since the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2010, Coach opened one net new retail store and 15 new factory stores, and expanded four factory stores in North America. In Japan, net sales increased 7.3% driven by an approximately $38.0 million or 7.1% positive impact from foreign currency exchange. Since the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2010, Coach opened 7 net new locations and expanded four locations in Japan. Coach China results continued to be strong with double-digit percentage growth in comparable store sales. Since the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2010, Coach opened 18 net new stores in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Indirect

Net sales increased 23.5% to $423.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 from $343.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was driven primarily by a 23.6% increase in Coach International Wholesale and U.S. Wholesale net shipments. Licensing revenue of approximately $18.1 million and $14.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, is included in Indirect sales.

Operating Income

Operating income increased 16.4% to $992.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $853.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, operating income increased 19.4% to $1.0 billion. Operating margin decreased to 31.8% as compared to 32.1% in the same period of the prior year. Excluding items affecting comparability, operating margin increased to 32.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Gross profit increased 17.9% to $2.3 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 from $1.9 billion during the same period of fiscal 2010. Gross margin was 73.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to 72.9% during the same period of fiscal 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19.1% to $1.3 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $1.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by increased selling expenses. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.26 billion. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 41.3% during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to 40.8% during the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.4% as we leveraged our selling expense base on higher sales.

Selling expenses were $875.2 million, or 28.0% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $770.8 million, or 29.0% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The dollar increase in selling expenses was due to higher operating expenses in North American stores and Coach China due to higher sales and new store openings. Additionally, selling expenses of Reed Krakoff stores contributed to the dollar increase since the brand was not launched until the beginning of fiscal 2011. North American store expenses as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due a higher sales base. The decrease in Coach Japan operating expenses in constant currency of $9.4 million was offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates which increased reported expenses by approximately $20.6 million.

Advertising, marketing, and design costs were $166.8 million, or 5.3% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, compared to $126.6 million, or 4.8% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to marketing expenses related to consumer communications, which includes our digital strategy through coach.com, our global e-commerce sites, marketing sites and social networking. The Company utilizes and continues to explore implementing new technologies such as our global web presence, with informational websites in 17 countries, social networking and blogs as cost-effective consumer communication opportunities to increase on-line and store sales and build brand awareness. Also contributing to the increase were new design expenditures and development costs for new merchandising initiatives.

Distribution and consumer service expenses were $43.6 million, or 1.4% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, compared to $35.2 million, or 1.3% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. To support our growth in China and the region, during the second half of fiscal 2010 we established an Asia distribution center in Shanghai, owned and operated by a third-party, allowing us to better manage the logistics in this region. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Asia distribution center contributed to the increase in distribution and consumer service expenses; however in the long run, the Company expects the Asia distribution center to reduce costs as a percentage of net sales.

Administrative expenses were $204.6 million, or 6.6% of net sales, in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $150.9 million, or 5.7% of net sales, during the same period of fiscal 2010. Excluding items affecting comparability of $25.7 during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, expenses were $178.9 million, representing 5.7% of net sales. The increase in administrative expenses was primarily due to items affecting comparability and higher share-based compensation.

Interest Income, Net

Net interest income was $0.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $5.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease is attributable to lower returns on our investments primarily due to changes in interest rates, including interest rates on the cross-currency swaps, and lower cash and investment balances during the current fiscal year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 31.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to 37.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Excluding the benefit from the items affecting comparability, the effective tax rate was 33.25% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a favorable settlement of a multi-year tax return examination and higher profitability in lower tax rate jurisdictions in which income is earned, due to the increased globalization of the Company, and a lower effective state tax rate.

Net Income

Net income was $678.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $539.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily due to an improvement in operating income as well as a decrease in the Company's effective tax rate.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $812.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $809.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase of $3.3 million was primarily the result of $138.9 million higher net income in the current period partially offset by working capital changes between the two periods, the most significant of which occurred in accrued liabilities and inventories. Changes during the period in accrued liabilities balances resulted in $52.7 million of cash proceeds in the current fiscal period, compared to $118.0 million in the prior fiscal period, primarily due to higher bonus payouts in the current year. Changes during the period in inventory balances resulted in a use of cash of $31.9 million in the current fiscal period compared to $21.7 million of cash proceeds in the prior fiscal period, primarily due to higher inventory levels year over year driven by the improved overall economic conditions.

Net cash used in investing activities was $72.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $257.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Proceeds from maturities and sales of investments, net of purchases of investments, resulted in cash proceeds of $26.5 million in the current fiscal period compared to a use of cash of $204.9 million in the prior year period. Purchases of property and equipment were $91.0 million in the current fiscal period, which was $39.4 million higher than the prior year period, reflecting planned increased capital investment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $526.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $653.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease of $126.6 million in net cash used was primarily attributable to $178.1 million more proceeds from exercises of share-based awards in the current fiscal period. This increase was partially offset by $62.4 million higher dividend payments, due to the higher dividend payment rate in the current fiscal period, and $717.4 million funds expended in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 for repurchases of common stock compared to $700.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On July 26, 2007, the Company renewed its $100 million revolving credit facility with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as the primary lender and administrative agent (the “Bank of America facility”), extending the facility expiration to July 26, 2012. At Coach’s request and the lenders’ consent, the Bank of America facility can be expanded to $200 million. The facility can also be extended for two additional one year periods, at Coach’s request and the lenders’ consent.

Coach’s Bank of America facility is available for seasonal working capital requirements or general corporate purposes and may be prepaid without penalty or premium. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 there were no borrowings under the Bank of America facility. As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Bank of America facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity as of April 2, 2011 was $90.0 million, due to outstanding letters of credit.

Coach pays a commitment fee of 6 to 12.5 basis points on any unused amounts and interest of LIBOR plus 20 to 55 basis points on any outstanding borrowings. Both the commitment fee and the LIBOR margin are based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. At April 2, 2011, the commitment fee was 7 basis points and the LIBOR margin was 30 basis points.

The Bank of America facility contains various covenants and customary events of default. Coach has been in compliance with all covenants since its inception.

To provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, Coach Japan has available credit facilities with several Japanese financial institutions. These facilities allow a maximum borrowing of 4.1 billion Japanese yen, or approximately $48.8 million, at April 2, 2011. Interest is based on the Tokyo Interbank rate plus a margin of 30 basis points. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 peak borrowings were $27.1 million under the Japanese credit facilities. There were no borrowings during the first nine months of fiscal 2010. As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Japanese credit facilities.

To provide funding for working capital and general corporate purposes, Coach Shanghai Limited has a credit facility that allows a maximum borrowing of 67 million Chinese Renminbi, or approximately $10 million, at April 2, 2011. Interest is based on the People's Bank of China rate. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, the peak borrowings under this credit facility were $0 and $7.5 million, respectively. As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

During the three months ended April 2, 2011, the Company completed its $1.0 billion common stock repurchase program, which was put into place in April 2010. In January 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a new common stock repurchase program to acquire up to $1.5 billion of Coach’s outstanding common stock through June 2013. Purchases of Coach common stock are made subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. Repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares and may be issued in the future for general corporate and other uses. The Company may terminate or limit the stock repurchase program at any time.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased and retired 14.1 million and 19.8 million shares, respectively, or $717.4 million and $700.0 million of common stock, respectively, at an average cost of $50.99 and $35.31, respectively. As of April 2, 2011, $1.3 billion remained available for future purchases under the existing program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company expects total capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2011 to be approximately $150 million. Capital expenditures will be primarily for new stores in North America, Japan, Hong Kong and mainland China. We will also continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and department store and distributor locations. These investments will be financed primarily from cash on hand and operating cash flows.

Coach experiences significant seasonal variations in its working capital requirements. During the first fiscal quarter Coach builds inventory for the holiday selling season, opens new retail stores and generates higher levels of trade receivables. In the second fiscal quarter, working capital requirements are reduced substantially as Coach generates greater consumer sales and collects wholesale accounts receivable. During the first nine months fiscal 2011, Coach purchased approximately $872 million of inventory, which was funded by operating cash flow.

Management believes that cash flow from continuing operations and on hand cash will provide adequate funds for the foreseeable working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and the common stock repurchase program. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to Coach on acceptable terms or at all. Coach’s ability to fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments and scheduled debt payments, as well as to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt agreements, depends on its future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond Coach’s control.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding liquidity and capital resources.

Seasonality

Because Coach products are frequently given as gifts, Coach has historically realized, and expects to continue to realize, higher sales and operating income in the second quarter of its fiscal year, which includes the holiday months of November and December. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales. Over the past several years, we have achieved higher levels of growth in the non-holiday quarters, which has reduced these seasonal fluctuations.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

FISCAL 2011 ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The reported SG&A expenses, operating income and provision for income taxes for the third quarter and nine months ended April 2, 2011 reflect certain items which affect the comparability of our results. These metrics are also reported on a non-GAAP basis for these periods to exclude the impact of these items.

These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s primary internal financial reporting excluded these items affecting comparability. In addition, the compensation committee of the Company’s Board used these non-GAAP measures when assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. In addition, we believe excluding the items affecting comparability assists investors in developing expectations of future performance. These items affecting comparability do not represent the Company’s direct, ongoing business operations. By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Charitable Contributions and Tax Adjustments

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company decreased the provision for income taxes by $15.5 million, primarily as a result of a favorable settlement of a multi-year tax return examination. The Company used the net income favorability to contribute $20.9 million to the Coach Foundation and 400 million yen or $4.8 million to the Japanese Red Cross Society. The Company believed that in order to reflect the direct results of the normal, ongoing business operations, both the tax adjustments and the resulting Coach Foundation funding and Japanese Red Cross Society contribution needed to be adjusted. This exclusion is consistent with the way management views its results and is the basis on which incentive compensation will be calculated for fiscal 2011.

Currency Fluctuation Effects

The percentage increase in sales and U.S. dollar increases in operating expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2011 for Coach Japan have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating these amounts into U.S. dollars and compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

We believe that presenting Coach Japan sales and operating expense increases, including and excluding currency fluctuation effects, will help investors and analysts to understand the effect on this valuable performance measure of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 3, 2010 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of April 2, 2011, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein other than the Company’s change in accounting method for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. See the footnote on Change in Accounting Principle.

Recent Accounting Developments

Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” was amended in January 2010 to require additional disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning on December 27, 2009, except for certain disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to Level 3 fair value measurements, which were effective for the Company beginning on January 2, 2011. The disclosure guidance adopted on December 27, 2009 and January 2, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. Coach manages these exposures through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments with respect to Coach Japan and Coach Canada. The use of derivative financial instruments is in accordance with Coach’s risk management policies. Coach does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

The following quantitative disclosures are based on quoted market prices obtained through independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financial instruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms and maturities and theoretical pricing models. These quantitative disclosures do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual results may differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Exchange

Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated contracts, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and from foreign-denominated revenues and expenses translated into U.S. dollars.

Substantially all of Coach’s fiscal 2011 non-licensed product needs are purchased from independent manufacturers in countries other than the United States. These countries include China, Italy, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Peru, Philippines, Turkey, Ecuador, Great Britain, Macau and Malaysia. Additionally, sales are made through international channels to third party distributors. Substantially all purchases and sales involving international parties, excluding Coach Japan, Coach Canada and Coach China, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk.

In Japan and Canada, Coach is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting from Coach Japan and Coach Canada’s U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Coach Japan and Coach Canada enter into certain foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily zero-cost collar options, to manage these risks. As of April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, open foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges with a notional amount of $171.9 million and $248.6 million, respectively, were outstanding.

Coach is also exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Coach Japan as a result of its $139.4 million U.S. dollar-denominated fixed rate intercompany loan from Coach. To manage this risk, on July 2, 2010, Coach Japan entered into a cross-currency swap transaction, the terms of which include an exchange of a Japanese yen fixed interest rate for a U.S. dollar fixed interest rate. The loan matures on June 30, 2011, at which point the swap requires an exchange of Japanese yen and U.S. dollar based notional values.

The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current assets at April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 was $4.9 and $2.1 million, respectively. The fair value of open foreign currency derivatives included in current liabilities at April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 was $11.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts is sensitive to changes in Japanese yen and Canadian dollar exchange rates.

Coach believes that exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with revenues and expenses of foreign operations, which are denominated in Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, Hong Kong dollar, Macanese pataca, Canadian dollars, and the euro, are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate

Coach is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its investments, revolving credit facilities and long-term debt.

The Company’s investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments, specifies credit quality standards and limits the credit exposure of any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing interest income and minimizing risk. We do not hold any investments for trading purposes. The Company’s investment portfolio consists of U.S. government and agency securities as well as corporate debt securities. As the Company does not have the intent to sell and will not be required to sell these securities until maturity, investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost, except for auction rate securities, which are classified as available-for-sale. At April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the Company’s investments, classified as held-to-maturity, consisted of time deposits, commercial paper, short-term corporate debt securities and treasury bills valued at $73.4 million and $99.9 million, on those dates respectively. As the adjusted book value of the time deposits, commercial paper, short-term corporate debt securities and treasury bills equals its fair value, there were no unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments. At April 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the Company’s investments, classified as available-for-sale, consisted of a $6.0 million auction rate security. At April 2, 2011, as the auction rate security’s adjusted book value equaled its fair value, there were no unrealized gains or losses associated with this investment.

As of April 2, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its Bank of America facility, its revolving credit facilities maintained by Coach Shanghai, nor its Coach Japan facility. The fair value of any future borrowings may be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates.

As of April 2, 2011, Coach’s outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, was $24.2 million. A hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate applied to the fair value of debt would not have a material impact on earnings or cash flows of Coach.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of Lew Frankfort, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Michael F. Devine, III, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of April 2, 2011.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Reference should be made to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

Coach is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect Coach’s intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured upon premises within Coach’s control and litigation with present or former employees.

As part of Coach’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, Coach files lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, trademark dilution and/or state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, Coach may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise and/or out of court settlements with defendants. From time to time, defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of Coach’s intellectual properties.

Although Coach’s litigation with present or former employees is routine and incidental to the conduct of Coach’s business, as well as for any business employing significant numbers of U.S.-based employees, such litigation can result in large monetary awards when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages for actions claiming discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, religion, disability or other legally protected characteristic or for termination of employment that is wrongful or in violation of implied contracts.

Coach believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Coach’s business or consolidated financial statements.
