    Coach, Inc. (COH) DECREASE TARGET PRICE

    U.S. Business Deteriorates, Adding

    Uncertainty. Lowering Estimates

    Coach's U.S. business continues to deteriorate, with North America comps down

    6.8% Y/Y, versus down (1.7%), 1%, and (2%) in the prior three quarters. While

    underlying demand conditions in N.A. were challenging in the quarter across the

    retail landscape, this result is a significant disappointment and suggests

    additional risks going forwards. Increasingly, we consider Coach's brand

    impaired in its home market, a result of years of underinvestment in store

    merchandising (particularly in department stores) and increasing overreliance on

    outlet center distribution expansion. While international growth remains robust in

    China where comps were up double digits and sales were up 35%-plus Y/Y,

    overall international sales are no longer enough to offset U.S. weakness as

    Japanese sales were down 2% constant currency (in spite of 6%+ square

    footage increase) and wholesale shipments were down Y/Y. On balance, the risk

    profile is elevated, and initiatives to rehabilitate the business remain in the early

    stages, suggesting a discount multiple is warranted. Our target price goes to $50

    from $58.

    North America Weakness The Big Concern. Coach's North America comps

    were down 6.8% in the quarter, well below our estimates for down 2% and

    the consensus range for flat to down 5%. This marks a significant

    deterioration in comp performance which had been down 1.7%, up 1%, and

    down 2% over the prior three quarters. This comes in spite of a significant

    rollout of new product initiatives, including new footwear, apparel, and watch

    product into stores over the past six months, which had been expected to

    drive incremental traffic and brand interest.

    International Not Immune To Challenges. While international growth remains robust

    in China where comps were up double digits and sales were up 35%-plus, overall

    international sales are no longer enough to offset U.S. weakness as Japanese sales

    were down 2% constant currency (in spite of 6%+ square footage increases) and

    wholesale shipments were down Y/Y. Total international sales were down 0.5% Y/Y.

    With Japan the most mature region in Asia and a bellwether for brand relevance across

    Asia-Pacific, we view declining constant currency comps in the region (our model

    suggests comps were down 7% in the quarter) as an area of concern, particularly given

    domestic consumption benefits from currency deflation.

    Careful Management Of Margins And Expenses Protect Earnings. In spite of the

    sales shortfall, earnings were in-line with consensus as gross margin was in-line with

    expectations at 71.8% (our 72.0%, consensus 71.9%) and SG&A spend was

    significantly lower than anticipated at $505M versus our model for $548M. As a result,

    SG&A rate of 43.9% was well below our expectations for 45.5%, with the delta

    contributing $0.04 to EPS. Some of the SG&A benefit was due to a shift in timing of

    marketing spend between quarters. We view expense controls and gross margin

    control as a sign that Coach is maintaining their historical discounting and spending

    disciplines, but note that full year margin guidance is now for 300bp of margin erosion

    Y/Y to 28%, versus prior guidance for 30% as the company has some excess inventory

    to clear and incremental expense associated with store expansion.

    Initiatives To Rehabilitate Core North America Women's Business Remain In The

    Early Stages. Given our concerns regarding brand health in North America, we are

    looking for signs that initiatives to re-invigorate the brand are gaining traction. We

    believe that efforts to increase penetration of non-accessory product remain risky and

    possibly margin dilutive, and prefer to see initiatives focused on core handbags. To that

    end, the recent hiring of a new design director is encouraging, as are reinvestment in

    department store merchandising, remodel of factory stores, 2Q rollout of a new store

    concept, introduction of capsule collections that coordinate across footwear,

    accessories, and handbags, and a revised marketing strategy. With early traction not

    yet evident, however, we believe caution remains in order.

    Adjusting Estimates, Lowering Target Price. Following 1Q14 results, our FY14

    comp, revenue, EPS estimates go to (6.0%), $5,073M and $3.43 from 0.0%, $5,361M

    and $3.84. Our FY15 estimates go to 0.0%, $5,362M, and $3.66 from 2.0%, $5,797M

    and $4.21. We are lowering our target price to $50 from $58, reflecting an equal

    weighted average of comparable multiples ($46), a discounted cash flow model ($56),

    and long-term growth driver ($49.)

    1Q14 Overview

    Coach reported 1Q14 North America comps, total revenue and EPS of (6.8%,) $1,151M,

    and $0.77, versus our estimates for (2.0%,) $1,205M, and $0.76. In constant currency,

    Coachs total sales rose 2%, with 9% growth across international markets (the Yen was a

    drag on reported 1Q14 growth rates.)

    CS Estimates

    Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates

    North America: North America sales were down 1% Y/Y to $778M. Overall sales of

    women's bags and accessories were disappointing. Weakness in women's bags and

    accessories, and a decline in store traffic was partially offset by strength in footwear,

    eCommerce, and Men's.

    North America Direct: Sales decreased 1% Y/Y. The N.A. comp fell 6.8%, missing

    our estimate for down 2.0%. The comp was driven in part by a decline in retail store

    traffic impacting women's handbags and accessories. Coach opened 0 full price retail

    stores, closed 1, and opened 5 factory stores including a dedicated Men's store during

    the quarter, bringing the North America store count to 350 full price and 198 factory

    stores. Coach expects to open ~20 new stores in FY14 including with a focus on

    factory stores, close 15-20 full priced stores, and with ~20 expansions across both

    channels. Coach expects net square footage growth of ~7% in FY14.

    Legacy and Madison were key collections in 1Q. Coach saw favorable trends from

    leather across all price segments (over 20% of handbag sales). The re-launched

    footwear is featured in over 170 retail stores and was ~8% of business within those

    stores vs. 4% last year.

    North America Wholesale: POS sales at department stores and shipments into the

    channel were down modestly Y/Y.

    International: International sales (approx. 1/3 of COHs revenue) fell ~1% Y/Y to $365M,

    9% growth in constant currency.

    Japan: Comps were down ~9% (our calculation) and revenue was down 2% Y/Y on a

    constant currency basis and down 22% in dollars due to the weaker Yen Y/Y. Coach

    opened one new men's store in the quarter. Coach expects to open 5-10 new stores

    (mostly dedicated men's stores.)

  • 22 October 2013

    Coach, Inc. (COH) 5

    China: Sales increased 35%-plus Y/Y, driven by distribution and comps that were up

    double-digits. Coach opened 6 new stores in the quarter, bringing the total count on

    Mainland China to 132. Coach anticipates China sales to total $530M in FY14, as ~30

    dual gender stores are opened across the country. Total square footage in China is

    expected to grow ~25% in FY14.

    Other Asia: Our model suggests that in 1Q Other Asia regions contributed ~$56M to

    revenue. Coach operates 9 locations in Singapore, 27 in Taiwan, 10 in Malaysia, and

    48 in Korea.

    International Wholesale: Wholesale shipments increased with shipments declining

    due to the timing of a Chinese holiday.

    Coach, Inc. (COH) 6

    Coach repurchased nearly 3.3 million shares of common stock at an average cost of

    $53.17 spending ~$175M. At the end of 1Q COH had $1.2B remaining under its current

    repurchase authorization.

    Guidance

    Coach provided FY14 guidance for:

    Revenue to be flat to up low-single digits in CC or about even with last year in dollars

    (vs. prior guidance for an increase in mid-single digits in CC or low single digit growth

    in dollars) assuming the Yen is close to 100.

    NA comp being forecasted at down high-single digits for the balance of FY14 (vs. prior

    guidance of not building in an improvement from the negative low-single digit NA comp

    seen in 4Q going forward in FY14 due to the transition to a lifestyle brand)

    Gross margin is expected to be about 70%-71% vs. prior guidance for the 71%-72%

    range, driven by increased factory clearance levels, a weaker Yen, rising labor costs,

    and the amortization of inventory related to the Europe joint venture

    SG&A rate is expected to post "modest dollar growth" given increased European

    investments, marketing, and other brand transformation initiatives which were

    "generally funded by the restructuring actions taken in 4Q."

    Operating margin is expected to be ~28% vs. prior ~30% guidance

    Tax rate is expected to be around 32% vs. prior 33% guidance

    CapEx is expected to be around $280M driven by new store openings and geographic

    expansion as well as investments in elevating store environment and in technology

    Expect to open ~50 wholesale (down from ~70) and ~10 retail locations in the U.K.

    and Europe

    Share repurchases of ~$700M

    Total square footage growth of 9% Y/Y in FY14

    o North America square footage growth of ~7%

    o China square footage growth of ~25%

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
