Key Achievements in Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2024

We delivered the following highlights across our strategic priorities in the fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2024:

• Elevate and Energize Our Lifestyle Brand
  • Drove continued momentum in new customer recruitment with more than 5 million new customers in our direct-to-consumer channels following record-level holiday customer acquisition, supported by low double-digit growth in social media followers and increases in global brand consideration, purchase intent and net promoter score to last year
  • Fueled consumer recruitment and engagement through key brand moments, with fourth quarter investments focused on: our globally-amplified sponsorship of the Australian Open; our second Artist in Residence capsule in collaboration with Navajo artist Naiomi Glasses; Lunar New Year activations across WeChat, Douyin, and Weibo; and iconic celebrity dressing moments including Beyoncé on her new album press tour and Reba McEntire at the Super Bowl
• Drive the Core and Expand for More
  • Delivered solid revenue growth in our Core business, up low single-digits to last year during the post-holiday transition period and high-single digits for the full year in constant currency. We also drove continued momentum in our high-potential categories — including Women's, Outerwear and Home — up mid-single digits to last year in the fourth quarter and high-single digits for the full year in constant currency
  • Product highlights this quarter included: our Polo 67 fragrance launch featuring New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge; our second Artist in Residence capsule, 'Color in Motion'; and Lunar New Year 'Year of the Dragon' collection
  • Increased AUR by 13% across our direct-to-consumer network in the fourth quarter and 11% for the full year, on top of double-digit increases last year, driven by continued elevation of our product offering and favorable geographic and channel mix shifts
• Win in Key Cities with Our Consumer Ecosystem
  • By geography, fourth quarter sales performance was led by Asia, up 1% on a reported basis and 7% in constant currency, with China up high-single digits in reported dollars and low-double digits in constant currency. North America and Europe sales each grew 2% on a reported basis as continued momentum in direct-to-consumer more than offset expected declines in wholesale
  • For the full year, Asia once again led regional performance, increasing 10% on a reported basis and 14% in constant currency, with China delivering more than 25% growth in both reported and constant dollars
  • Continued to expand and scale our key city ecosystems over the past fiscal year, including: new emblematic store openings in Amsterdam and Singapore, our first Ralph Lauren store and digital commerce site in Canada, and our first Ralph's Coffee in Paris, Shenzhen and Dubai

Our business is supported by our fortress foundation, which we define through our five key enablers, including: our people and culture, best-in-class digital technology and analytics, superior operational capabilities, a powerful balance sheet, and leadership in citizenship and sustainability.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Income Statement Review

Net Revenue. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, revenue increased 2% to $1.6 billion on a reported basis and was up 3% in constant currency. Foreign currency negatively impacted revenue growth by approximately 110 basis points in the fourth quarter. A shift in the timing of this year's Easter holiday benefited revenue growth by approximately 50 basis points in the fourth quarter.

Revenue performance for the Company's reportable segments in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year period was as follows:

• North America Revenue. North America revenue in the fourth quarter increased 2% to $668 million. In retail, comparable store sales in North America increased 3%, with a 6% increase in brick and mortar stores more than offsetting a 4% decrease in digital commerce following stronger holiday performance. North America wholesale revenue decreased 2%, slightly ahead of our expectations as the Company carefully manages sell-in to align with consumer demand in the channel. We continue to evaluate our brand presence on a door-by-door basis, resulting in approximately 20 department store exits completed in the region this fiscal year.

• Europe Revenue. Europe revenue in the fourth quarter increased 2% to $469 million on a reported basis and was up slightly in constant currency. Results included approximately 3 points of negative impact from a timing shift of wholesale shipments earlier in the year to maximize full-price selling. In retail, comparable store sales in Europe accelerated to 12% growth, with a 13% increase in brick and mortar stores and an 11% increase in digital commerce. Europe wholesale revenue decreased 6% to prior year on a reported basis and 8% in constant currency, with stronger re-order trends offset by the previously disclosed timing impacts noted above.

• Asia Revenue. Asia revenue in the fourth quarter increased 1% to $394 million on a reported basis and 7% in constant currency. Comparable store sales in Asia increased 6%, with a 4% increase in our brick and mortar stores and a 19% increase in digital commerce.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $1.0 billion and gross margin was 66.6%. Adjusted gross margin was also 66.6%, 480 basis points above the prior year. Gross margin expansion was driven by lower freight costs, favorable channel and geographic mix shifts, and AUR growth across all regions. Recent pressure from cotton inflation started to abate late in the fourth quarter as expected based on moderating cotton costs.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 were $936 million on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, operating expenses were $907 million, up 3% to last year. Adjusted operating expense rate was 57.8%, compared to 57.0% in the prior year. The increase was driven by channel and geographic mix shift resulting from stronger growth in the Company's international and direct-to-consumer businesses.

Operating Income. Operating income for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $108 million and operating margin was 6.9% on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, operating income was $137 million and operating margin was 8.7%, 380 basis points above the prior year. Operating income for the Company's reportable segments in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year period was as follows:

• North America Operating Income. North America operating income in the fourth quarter was $113 million on both a reported and adjusted basis. Adjusted North America operating margin was 17.0%, up 480 basis points to last year driven by gross margin expansion.

• Europe Operating Income. Europe operating income in the fourth quarter was $112 million on both a reported and adjusted basis. Adjusted Europe operating margin was 23.9%, up 450 basis points to last year. Foreign currency negatively impacted adjusted operating margin rate by 30 basis points in the fourth quarter.

• Asia Operating Income. Asia operating income in the fourth quarter was $66 million on both a reported and adjusted basis. Adjusted Asia operating margin was 16.8%, up 260 basis points to last year. Foreign currency negatively impacted adjusted operating margin rate by 10 basis points in the fourth quarter.

Net Income and EPS. Net income in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $91 million, or $1.38 per diluted share on a reported basis. On an adjusted basis, net income was $112 million, or $1.71 per diluted share. This compared to net income of $32 million, or $0.48 per diluted share on a reported basis, and net income of $61 million, or $0.90 per diluted share on an adjusted basis, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company had an effective tax rate of approximately 19% on a reported basis and 20% on an adjusted basis. This compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 34% on a reported basis and 27% on an adjusted basis in the prior year period. The decline was driven primarily by favorable true-up adjustments, additional foreign tax benefits, and the reduction of certain prior year discrete tax accruals, partially offset by an increase in unfavorable audit reserve accruals as compared to prior year.

At the end of Fiscal 2024, the Company had approximately $776 million remaining under its total share repurchase authorization, with future repurchases subject to overall business and market conditions.

The Company had $165 million in capital expenditures in Fiscal 2024, compared to $217 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to a lower number of total new store openings in Fiscal 2024 compared to Fiscal 2023, along with the timing of certain new store openings and renovations that were shifted into Fiscal 2025.

Dividend Increase

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a 10% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend on the Company's Common Stock. The new quarterly cash dividend is $0.825 per share for a total annual dividend amount of $3.30 per share. The next quarterly dividend will be paid on July 12, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2024.

Full Year Fiscal 2025 and First Quarter Outlook

The Company's outlook is based on its best assessment of the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, including inflationary pressures, other consumer spending-related headwinds and foreign currency volatility, among others. The full year Fiscal 2025 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.

For Fiscal 2025, the Company expects revenues to increase low-single digits to last year on a constant currency basis, centering on about 2% to 3%. Based on current exchange rates, foreign currency is expected to negatively impact revenue growth by approximately 90 basis points in Fiscal 2025.

The Company expects operating margin for Fiscal 2025 to expand approximately 100 to 120 basis points in constant currency, driven by gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage. Gross margin is expected to increase about 50 to 100 basis points in constant currency, with AUR growth, reduced cotton costs and favorable geographic and channel mix shift more than offsetting incremental product costs from materials and labor and freight costs related to Red Sea disruptions. Foreign currency is expected to negatively impact gross and operating margins by approximately 30 basis points in Fiscal 2025.

For the first quarter, the Company expects revenues to be up slightly to last year on a constant currency basis. On a reported basis, including approximately 160 basis points of negative foreign currency impact, revenues are expected to be down slightly to prior year. The revenue outlook includes approximately 50 basis points of negative impact from the earlier timing of Easter, which benefited our fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

Operating margin for the first quarter is expected to expand approximately 60 to 80 basis points in constant currency, driven by stronger gross margins. Gross margin expansion of approximately 140 to 180 basis points is expected to be driven by lower cotton costs and continued AUR growth partially offset by an increase in other product costs. Foreign currency is expected to have roughly 40 basis points of negative impact on both gross and operating margins in the first quarter.

The full year Fiscal 2025 tax rate is expected to be in the range of 23% to 24%, assuming a continuation of current tax laws. First quarter of Fiscal 2025 tax rate is expected to be about 24% to 25%.

The Company is planning capital expenditures for Fiscal 2025 of approximately $300 million to $325 million.
