Mr. Louvet continued, “Looking ahead, we remain focused on driving our multiple engines of growth while continuing to lay the groundwork for sustainable growth and value creation into the future. This gives us confidence in introducing an initial Fiscal 2027 outlook consistent with our Next Great Chapter: Drive commitments, all supported by our highly engaged teams, embracing AI and new technologies, our culture of operating discipline, and a best-in-class balance sheet.”

Key Achievements in Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2026

We delivered the following highlights across our strategic priorities in the fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2026:

• Elevate and Energize Our Lifestyle Brand
  • Drove continued momentum in new customer recruitment with 6.5 million new customers in our direct-to-consumer channels this fiscal year, supported by approximately 70 million social media followers (a high single-digit increase to last year) and meaningful progress in net promoter score to last year

  • Fueled high-quality, new customer recruitment and engagement through key brand moments, with recent investments focused on: our iconic sponsorship of Team USA at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics; our Fall ’26 Women’s Collection fashion show in New York City and Men’s Purple Label show in Milan; Women’s Polo presentation in Paris; and innovative Lunar New Year activations

• Drive the Core and Expand for More
  • Delivered fourth quarter revenue growth in our Core business, up mid-teens to last year, as well as our high-potential categories — including Women’s Apparel, Outerwear and Handbags — up more than 20% to last year, both in constant currency

  • Product highlights this quarter included: our Team USA Olympics collection; our limited-edition MLB capsule celebrating the 2026 World Baseball Classic; our Spring ’26 collection capturing the dynamic energy and polished charm of classic sporting pursuits; and the introduction of Polo Blaze, our newest foundational handbag collection debuting in Fall ’26, at Paris Fashion Week

  • Increased AUR by mid-teens for both the fourth quarter and full year, driven by continued elevation of our product offering, favorable geographic and channel mix shifts, and increased full-price selling and a reduction in discount rates

• Win in Key Cities with Our Consumer Ecosystem
  • By geography, fourth quarter sales growth was led by Asia, up 31% on a reported basis and 28% in constant currency, with particularly strong growth in China driven by exceptional Lunar New Year sales. Europe sales increased 18% on a reported basis and 6% in constant currency, with balanced growth in retail and wholesale channels. North America continued its solid momentum with sales up 8%, including double-digit direct-to-consumer comps and flat wholesale sales, as better than expected full-price growth offset planned reductions in lower-tier wholesale channels

  • Continued to expand and scale our key city ecosystems over the past fiscal year, including new stores in Chengdu, Sydney, Bangkok, Newport Beach, West Palm Beach, New Delhi, and London, among others

Our business is supported by our fortress foundation, which we define through our five key enablers, including: our engaged and empowered teams; industry-leading, agile operations; advanced technology, artificial intelligence and analytics; resilient partners, communities and materials; and a powerful balance sheet.

First Quarter and Preliminary Full Year Fiscal 2027 Outlook

The Company’s outlook is based on its best assessment of the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, including tariffs, inflationary pressures, and other consumer spending-related headwinds, global supply chain disruptions, and foreign currency volatility, among other factors. The full year Fiscal 2027 and first quarter guidance excludes any potential restructuring-related and other net charges that may be incurred in future periods, as described in the “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release. Given the high level of volatility in the current operating environment, this outlook is considered preliminary and subject to change as a result of ongoing macroeconomic developments and other considerations.

For Fiscal 2027, the Company expects constant currency revenues to increase approximately mid-single digits to last year on a 52-week comparable basis, centered around 4% to 5%.

The Company expects operating margin for Fiscal 2027 to expand approximately 40 to 60 basis points in constant currency, driven by modest gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage. Gross and operating margin expansion are expected to be stronger in the first half of the fiscal year, largely due to the timing of key marketing activations compared to the prior year period and a lower prevailing tariff rate of 10% during the period.

Based on current exchange rates, foreign currency is expected to have a roughly neutral impact on revenue, gross and operating margin in Fiscal 2027.

Fiscal 2027 is a 53-week year, with the 53rd week expected to contribute an additional 1 point to revenue growth and benefit operating margin slightly for the full fiscal year.

For the first quarter, the Company expects revenues to increase approximately mid- to high-single digits to last year on a constant currency basis.

Operating margin for the first quarter is expected to expand approximately 80 to 120 basis points in constant currency, led by gross margin expansion. Foreign currency is expected to have a roughly neutral impact on revenue, gross and operating margin in the first quarter.

The full year Fiscal 2027 tax rate is expected to be in the range of 21% to 22%, assuming a continuation of current tax laws. First quarter of Fiscal 2027 tax rate is expected to be approximately 22% to 23%.

The Company is planning capital expenditures for Fiscal 2027 of approximately 4% to 5% of revenue.

RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION FOOTNOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(1)		Next Generation Transformation project charges recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 relate to certain costs incurred in connection with the Company’s multi-year global project that is expected to significantly transform the way in which the Company operates its business and further enable its long-term strategic pivot towards a global direct-to-consumer-oriented model.
(2)		Restructuring plan and other charges, net recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 relate to the Company’s restructuring activities, primarily associated with severance and benefit costs.
(3)		Charges and benefits recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 28, 2026 related to charitable donations made by the Company, funded by cash proceeds resulting from settlement agreements reached with Visa, Inc., Mastercard Incorporated, and other named parties to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which the Company was a plaintiff.
(4)		Cease-use rent and occupancy expenses recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 related to rent and occupancy costs associated with certain previously exited real estate locations in connection with the Company’s past restructuring activities for which the related lease agreements have not yet expired, as well as impairment charges recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 29, 2025 to write down certain long-lived assets.
(5)		Charges and benefits recorded during the three-month and twelve-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 related to charitable donations of consideration received from Regent, L.P. in connection with the Company’s sale of its former Club Monaco business during Fiscal 2022 as part of its Fiscal 2021 Strategic Realignment Plan.
(6)		Represents tax-related effects of the previously described adjustments to operating income, which were calculated using the respective statutory tax rates for each applicable jurisdiction.
(7)		Net income adjustments per diluted common share were calculated by dividing total net income adjustments by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the period. Per share amounts have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Because 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 activities, as well as certain other charges (benefits) associated with other non-recurring events, as described in the footnotes to the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above. The income tax benefit (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. 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.

Additionally, the Company’s full year Fiscal 2027 and first quarter guidance excludes any potential restructuring-related and other charges that may be incurred in future periods. The Company is not able to provide a full reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP as it is not known at this time if and when any such charges may be incurred in the future. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s non-U.S. GAAP based financial measure guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures cannot be provided at this time given the uncertain nature of any such potential charges that may be incurred in future periods.
