    • Kate Spade revenue growth at a high-single digit three-year CAGR to $1.9 billion, while expanding operating margin to mid-teens. The brand remains on track to achieve $2 billion in revenue and high-teens operating margin;
    • Stuart Weitzman revenue growth at a low-double digit three-year CAGR to $450 million while expanding operating margin to high-single-digits;
  • Operating margin in the area of 19%, representing expansion of approximately 100 basis points versus FY22;
  • Earnings per diluted share of over $5, for a low-to-mid-teens three-year CAGR; and
  • Cumulative cash return of $3 billion to shareholders by Fiscal 2025 supported by a targeted dividend payout ratio of 35% to 40% and share repurchases of at least $700 million annually.
