Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1.     The Company
Organization
Canada Goose Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) design, manufacture, and sell performance luxury apparel for men, women, youth, children, and babies. The Company’s product offerings include various styles of parkas, lightweight down jackets, rainwear, windwear, apparel, fleece, footwear, and accessories for the fall, winter, and spring seasons. The Company’s head office is located at 100 Queens Quay East, Toronto, Canada, M5E 1V3. The use of the terms “Canada Goose”, “we”, and “our” throughout these notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") refer to the Company.
Canada Goose is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “GOOS”. The principal shareholders of the Company are investment funds advised by Bain Capital LP and its affiliates (“Bain Capital”), and DTR LLC ("DTR"), an entity indirectly controlled by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal shareholders hold multiple voting shares representing 51.9% of the total shares outstanding as at December 31, 2023, or 91.5% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding. Subordinate voting shares that trade on public markets represent 48.1% of the total shares outstanding as at December 31, 2023, or 8.5% of the combined voting power of the total voting shares outstanding.
Statement of compliance
The Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain information, which is considered material to the understanding of the Interim Financial Statements and is normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB, is not provided in these notes. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 2, 2023.
The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors on January 31, 2024.
Fiscal year
The Company's fiscal year is a 52 or 53-week reporting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to March 31. Each fiscal quarter is 13 weeks for a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2024 is a 52-week fiscal year.
Operating segments
The Company classifies its business in three operating and reportable segments: Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC"), Wholesale, and Other. The DTC segment comprises sales through country-specific e-Commerce platforms available across numerous markets, which includes the newly launched recommerce platform Canada Goose Generations, currently available in the United States and Canada, and our Company-owned retail stores located in luxury shopping locations.
The Wholesale segment comprises sales made to a mix of retailers and international distributors, who are partners that have exclusive rights to an entire market. The Wholesale segment includes the introduction of travel retail in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
Page 6 of 35


Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
The Other segment comprises sales and costs that do not occur through the DTC or Wholesale segments, such as sales to employees, friends and family sales, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and results from the newly acquired Paola Confectii business (see "Note 3. Business Combinations" for details and definitions). The Other segment includes the cost of marketing expenditures to build brand awareness across all segments, management overhead costs in support of manufacturing operations, other corporate costs, and foreign exchange gains and losses not specifically associated with DTC or Wholesale segment operations.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal, and we have historically realized a significant portion of our Wholesale revenue and operating income in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year and DTC revenue and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Thus, lower-than-expected revenue in these periods could have an adverse impact on our annual operating results.
Cash flows from operating activities are typically highest in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC segment and the collection of trade receivables from Wholesale revenue earlier in the year. Working capital requirements typically increase as inventory builds. Borrowings have historically increased in the first and second quarters and been repaid in the third quarter of the fiscal year.
Note 2.    Material accounting policy information and critical accounting estimates and judgments
Basis of presentation
The accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments as disclosed in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended April 2, 2023 have been applied consistently in the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements except as noted below. The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, where foreign exchange gains and losses related to the outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan, net of hedging, are reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs as outlined below (see "Note 11. Borrowings" for details and definitions); previously this was presented in SG&A expenses. This change was made to present all financing costs related to the Term Loan within the same financial statement caption in the consolidated interim statements of income. For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, we reclassified foreign exchange gains of $3.6m and losses of $11.7m, respectively. This reclassification did not impact net income, earnings per share, or the consolidated interim statement of financial position in the comparative quarter.
Principles of consolidation
The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and those investments over which the Company has control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Standards issued and not yet adopted
Certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments, and interpretations is provided below.
In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position. The limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendment clarified that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amendment.
Standards issued and adopted
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarified how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Beginning April 3, 2023, the Company adopted the amendments. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
In May 2023, the IASB issued International Tax Reform, Pillar Two Model Rules, Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (the “Amendments”). The Amendments provide the Company with an exception from recognition and disclosure requirements for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two international tax reform. Upon issuance of the Amendments, the temporary exception has been adopted by the Company as at July 2, 2023. The disclosure requirements for current tax expense and the disclosures for enacted legislation but not yet effective are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, but are not required for any interim period ending on or before December 31, 2023.
Note 3.    Business combination
On November 1, 2023, a newly incorporated subsidiary of the Company, Paola Confectii Manufacturing Limited (“Paola Confectii”), acquired the business of Paola Confectii SRL, a luxury knitwear manufacturer for total cash consideration of $16.4m, subject to pricing adjustments. This acquisition is expected to enhance product margins and supply control, while deepening in-house product expertise and capability.
Management determined that the assets and substantive processes comprised a business and therefore accounted for the transaction as a business combination under IFRS 3, Business

Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at their fair values.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at the date of acquisition as follows:
$
Assets acquired
Trade receivables7.1
Inventories1.6
Property, plant and equipment2.6
Right-of-use assets1.2
Goodwill13.5
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities(8.4)
Lease liability(1.2)
Total assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed16.4
Final valuations on the fair value of certain assets and liabilities as well as the identification of intangible assets is not yet complete due to the inherent complexity associated with the valuations. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to adjustment upon completion of the valuation process.
At the date of acquisition, goodwill of $13.5m was initially recognized as the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is mainly attributable to the strengthening of our vertically integrated supply chain and expected future growth potential of the knitwear category. The goodwill balance is preliminary and will be finalized upon completion of the valuation process. Goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
In connection with the business combination, subject to the controlling shareholders of Paola Confectii SRL ("PCML Vendors") remaining employees through November 1, 2025, a further amount is payable to the PCML Vendors if certain performance conditions are met based on financial results (“Earn-Out”). The estimated value is calculated as a pre-determined percentage of net equity value, determined as a multiple of EBITDA and EBITDA margin for the fiscal year ending March 30, 2025, subject to a floor, less net debt adjustments. As at the date of acquisition, the estimated value of the payout was $6.6m. The Company recognized the amount payable to the PCML Vendors as a separate transaction that was not included in applying the acquisition method as the amount reflects remuneration for future services to be performed conditional on employment until November 1, 2025, and therefore this amount will be expensed over two years.
The Company incurred $0.8m in transaction related costs which are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023.
Paola Confectii’s results are consolidated into the Company’s financial results effective from the date of acquisition and are presented in the Company’s Other operating segment. Paola Confectii's results for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 are not considered material to these consolidated financial statements. Pro forma disclosures as if Paola Confectii was acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year have not been presented as they are not considered material to these consolidated financial statements.

The PCML Vendors are employed as members of key management and continue to lead and maintain regular operations at Paola Confectii. The Earn-Out to the PCML Vendors and transactions with one of the PCML Vendors in connection with the acquisition for the lease of the manufacturing facility are related party transactions as they have been retained as employees of the Company. See "Note 14. Related Party Transactions" for more details.
Note 4.    Segment information
The Company has three reportable operating segments: DTC, Wholesale, and Other. The Company measures each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and segment operating income (loss), which is the profit metric utilized by the Company's chief operating decision maker, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for assessing the performance of operating segments. Our operating segments are not reliant on any single external customer.
The Company does not report total assets or total liabilities based on its reportable operating segments.

Note 11.     Borrowings
Amendments to borrowings
Effective June 30, 2023, LIBOR rates are no longer published for U.S Dollars. As a result, in the first quarter ended July 2, 2023, the Company transitioned facilities and contracts denominated in U.S dollars applying LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”). At this time, the Company entered into further amendments to its Revolving Facility (as defined below), Term Loan (as defined below) and the interest rate swaps to transition to SOFR. In connection with the amendments, during the first quarter ended July 2, 2023, the Company also extended the maturity of the Revolving Facility to May 15, 2028 and incurred transaction costs of $0.7m, on the extension of the Revolving Facility, which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the new term to maturity. There were no amendments to borrowings in the third quarter ended December 31, 2023.
See "Note 16. Financial risk management objectives and policies" for more details on the amendments to the interest rate swaps.
Revolving Facility
The Company has an agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility") in the amount of $467.5m, with an increase in commitments to $517.5m during the peak season (June 1 - November 30). The Revolving Facility matures on May 15, 2028. Amounts owing under the Revolving Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed for general corporate purposes. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility contains financial and non-financial covenants which could impact the Company’s ability to draw funds.
The Revolving Facility has multiple interest rate charge options that are based on the Canadian prime rate, Banker's Acceptance rate, the lenders' Alternate Base Rate, European Base Rate, SOFR rate, or EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, with interest payable the earlier of quarterly or at the end of the then current interest period (whichever is earlier).
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had repaid all amounts owing on the Revolving Facility (January 1, 2023 - $nil, April 2, 2023 - $nil). As at December 31, 2023, no interest and administrative fees remain outstanding (January 1, 2023 - $nil, April 2, 2023 - $nil). Deferred financing charges in the amounts of $1.0m as at December 31, 2023 (January 1, 2023 - $0.6m, April 2, 2023 - $0.5m) were included in other long-term liabilities. As at and during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The Company had unused borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility of $359.4m as at December 31, 2023 (January 1, 2023 - $240.0m, April 2, 2023 - $238.4m).
The revolving credit commitment also includes a letter of credit commitment in the amount of $25.0m, with a $5.0m sub-commitment for letters of credit issued in a currency other than Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, euros or British pounds sterling, and a swingline commitment for $25.0m. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility of $1.5m (January 1, 2023 - $1.8m, April 2, 2023 - $1.8m).

The Term Loan has an aggregate principal amount of USD300.0m, with quarterly repayments of USD0.75m on the principal amount and a maturity date of October 7, 2027. Moreover, the Term Loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.11448% with an applicable margin of 3.50% payable monthly in arrears. SOFR plus the term SOFR adjustment may not be less than 0.75%.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts owing under the Term Loan may be made at any time without premium or penalty, once repaid may not be reborrowed. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had USD291.0m (January 1, 2023 - USD294.0m, April 2, 2023 - USD293.3m) aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan.

Performance share units
In May 2023, the Company implemented a Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) program under the Omnibus Plan. A PSU represents the right to receive a subordinate voting share settled by the issuance of shares at the vesting date. PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the award date and are earned only if certain performance targets are achieved. Shares issued per PSU at the vesting date can decrease or increase if minimum or maximum performance targets are achieved ranging from 0% to 200% of the PSU award granted. The Company expects that vested PSUs will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per PSU. PSUs are treated as equity instruments for accounting purposes.

In connection with the Japan Joint Venture, for the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a decrease of JPY196.9m ($1.5m, excluding translation gains of $0.4m) and a decrease of JPY529.7m ($6.3m, excluding translation losses of $1.4m), respectively, on the remeasurement of the contingent consideration. The Company recorded an increase of JPY518.3m ($6.2m, excluding translation gains of $1.3m) and an increase of JPY1,707.4m ($13.6m, excluding translation losses of $2.1m) on the remeasurement of the put option liability during the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The change in fair values of the contingent consideration and put option liability were driven by progression through the 4-year and 10-year terms, respectively, and improvements in the cost of debt in the market.
For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company recorded a decrease of JPY215.7m ($1.0m, excluding translation gains of $1.2m) and a decrease of JPY603.9m ($6.0m, excluding translation losses of $0.1m), respectively, on the remeasurement of the contingent consideration.

Note 16.    Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s primary risk management objective is to protect the Company’s assets and cash flow, in order to increase the Company’s enterprise value.
The Company is exposed to capital management risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, and interest rate risk. The Company’s senior management and Board of Directors oversee the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees upon policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below.
Capital management
The Company manages its capital and capital structure with the objectives of safeguarding sufficient net working capital over the annual operating cycle and providing sufficient financial resources to grow operations to meet long-term consumer demand. The Board of Directors of the Company monitors the Company’s capital management on a regular basis. The Company will continually assess the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and capacity and make adjustments within the context of the Company’s strategy, economic conditions, and risk characteristics of the business.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to satisfy the requirements for business operations, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes, under normal and stressed conditions. The primary source of liquidity is funds generated by operating activities; the Company also relies on the Mainland China Facilities, the Japan Facility and Revolving Facility as sources of funds for short term working capital needs. The Company continuously reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows to ensure that the Company has appropriate capital capacity.

As at December 31, 2023, we had additional liabilities which included provisions for warranty, sales returns, asset retirement obligations, deferred income tax liabilities, the Earn-Out to the PCML Vendors, the put option liability and the contingent consideration on the Japan Joint Venture. These liabilities have not been included in the table above as the timing and amount of future payments are uncertain.
Letter of guarantee facility
On April 14, 2020, Canada Goose Inc. entered into a letter of guarantee facility in the amount of $10.0m. Letters of guarantee are available for terms of up to twelve months and will be charged a fee equal to 1.0% per annum calculated against the face amount and over the term of the guarantee. Amounts issued on the facility will be used to finance working capital requirements of Canada Goose Inc. through letters of guarantee, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, counter guarantees, counter standby letters of credit, or similar credits. The Company immediately reimburses the issuing bank for amounts drawn on issued letters of guarantees. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.4m outstanding.
In addition, a subsidiary of the Company in Mainland China entered into letters of guarantee and as at December 31, 2023 the amount outstanding was $12.9m. Amounts will be used to support retail operations of such subsidiaries through letters of guarantee, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, counter guarantees, counter standby letters of credit, or similar credits.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that certain parties will be unable to discharge their obligations. The Company manages its credit risk through a combination of third party credit insurance and internal house risk. Credit insurance is provided by a third party for customers and is subject to continuous monitoring of the credit worthiness of the Company's customers. Insurance covers a specific amount of revenue, which may be less than the Company's total revenue with a specific customer. The Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 90% of trade accounts receivable from certain designated

customers subject to a total deductible of $0.1m, to a maximum of $30.0m per year. As at December 31, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $34.8m (January 1, 2023 - $49.5m, April 2, 2023 - $10.3m) were insured subject to the policy cap. Complementary to the third party insurance, the Company establishes payment terms with customers to mitigate credit risk and continues to closely monitor its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure.
Within CG Japan, the Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of trade accounts receivable for certain designated customers for a maximum of JPY540.0m per annum subject to a deductible of 10% and applicable only to accounts with receivables over JPY100k. As at December 31, 2023, trade accounts receivable totalling approximately $5.1m (JPY540.0m) were insured subject to the policy cap (January 1, 2023 - $4.1m (JPY392.2m), April 2, 2023 - $0.7m (JPY72.8m)).
Trade accounts receivable factoring program
A subsidiary of the Company in Europe has an agreement to factor, on a limited recourse basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable up to a limit of EUR20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice.
For the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company received cash proceeds from the sale of trade accounts receivable with carrying values of $43.6m which were derecognized from the Company's statement of financial position (three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $37.3m). Fees of $0.4m were incurred during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 (three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $0.2m) and included in net interest, finance and other costs in the interim statements of income. As at December 31, 2023, the outstanding amount of trade accounts receivable derecognized from the Company’s statement of financial position, but which the Company continued to service, was $5.0m (January 1, 2023 - $8.5m, April 2, 2023 - $1.1m).
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows
The Company’s Interim Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues, purchases, and expenses are denominated in other currencies, principally U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds sterling, Swiss francs, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars, and Japanese yen. The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with revenues, purchases, and expenses denominated in these currencies. Certain forward foreign exchange contracts were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company executed the operating cash flow hedge program for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income by increasing our revenue, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.

Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on the borrowings outstanding under the Mainland China Facilities, Japan Facility, and the Term Loan, which currently bear interest rates at 3.00%, 0.34%, and 8.97%, respectively.
Interest rate risk on the Term Loan is partially mitigated by interest rate swap hedges. The Company has entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements terminating December 31, 2025 to pay fixed interest rates and receive floating interest rates on notional debt of USD270.0m. Effective June 30, 2023, the floating interest benchmark reference rate contained within the swap agreements were amended from LIBOR to SOFR and the average fixed rates were reduced from 1.97% to 1.76%. These swap agreements fix the interest rate on the USD300.0m Term Loan. Following the amendment, the interest rate swaps continue to be designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 would have increased interest expense on the Mainland China Facilities, Japan Facility, and the Term Loan before hedging, by $0.3m, $0.2m, and $3.0m, respectively (three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $0.1m, $0.2m, and $2.9m, respectively).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (“us,” “we,” “our,” “Canada Goose” or the “Company”) is dated January 31, 2024 and provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition for the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023. All figures are presented in Canadian (“CAD”) dollars, unless otherwise noted. You should read this MD&A together with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes as at and for the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023 (“Interim Financial Statements”) and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2023 (“Annual Financial Statements”). Additional information about Canada Goose is available on our website at www.canadagoose.com, on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca, and on the EDGAR section of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2023 (“Annual Report”).
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in many places throughout this MD&A and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, business prospects, growth, strategies, expectations regarding industry trends and the size and growth rates of addressable markets, our business plan, and our growth strategies, including plans for expansion to new markets and new products, expectations for seasonal trends, and the industry in which we operate.
Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A include:
our ability to implement our growth strategies;
our ability to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, suppliers, wholesalers, and distributors;
our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences;
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
our ability to adapt to changes to our business as a whole due to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations;
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
Page 1 of 43


the continued absence of material global supply chain disruptions to our business, ability to fulfill demand and maintain sufficient inventory levels, which we continue to monitor; and
the absence of material adverse changes in our industry or the global economy.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report and other risk factors described herein, which include, but are not limited to, the following risks:
we may not open retail stores or expand e-Commerce access on our planned timelines;
we may be unable to maintain the strength of our brand or to expand our brand to new products and geographies;
unanticipated changes in the effective tax rate or adverse outcomes from audit examinations of corporate income or other tax returns;
our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial condition, and we may not be able to refinance or renegotiate such indebtedness on favourable or satisfactory terms;
an economic downturn and general economic conditions (for example, inflation and rising interest rates) may further affect discretionary consumer spending;
we may not be able to satisfy changing consumer preferences;
global political events, including the impact of political disruptions and protests, which may cause business interruptions;
our ability to procure high quality raw materials and certain finished goods globally;
our ability to manage inventory and forecast our inventory need, which we continue to monitor, and to manage our production distribution networks. In anticipation of our expected growth and as an important hedge against inflation, we have built up our inventory to elevated levels. If our supply exceeds demand, we may be required to take certain actions to reduce inventory which could damage our brand;
we may not be able to protect or preserve our brand image and proprietary rights globally;
the success of our business strategy;
our ability to manage our exposure to data security and cyber security events;
disruptions to manufacturing and distribution activities due to factors such as operational issues, disruptions in transportation logistic functions or labour shortages or disruptions;
risks and global disruptions associated with geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic, which may further affect general economic and operating conditions;
follow on effects of the recent U.S. banking failures;
fluctuations in raw material costs, interest rates and currency exchange rates;
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

we may be unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; and
our ability to successfully execute our Transformation program.
Although we base the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, we caution you that actual results and developments (including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate) may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. Additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. The potential of such additional impacts intensifies the business and operating risks which we face, and these should be considered when reading the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. In addition, even if results and developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A, those results and developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this MD&A may prove to be inaccurate. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks often emerge. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.
You should read this MD&A and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this MD&A, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by applicable laws.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), specifically International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and are presented in millions of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated. The Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for Annual Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. Certain financial measures contained in this MD&A are non-IFRS financial measures and are discussed further under “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” below.
The Interim Financial Statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared using the accounting policies described in “Note 2. Material accounting policy information and critical accounting estimates and judgments” in the Interim Financial Statements.
All references to “$”, “CAD” and “dollars” refer to Canadian dollars, “USD” refers to U.S. dollars, “GBP” refers to British pounds sterling, “EUR” refers to euros, “CHF” refers to Swiss francs, “CNY” refers to Chinese yuan, ”RMB” refers to Chinese renminbi, “HKD” refers to Hong Kong dollars, and “JPY” refers to Japanese yen unless otherwise indicated. Certain totals, subtotals and percentages throughout this MD&A may not reconcile due to rounding. This MD&A and the accompanying Interim Financial Statements are presented in millions of Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated.

All references to “fiscal 2022” are to the Company’s fiscal year ended April 3, 2022; to “fiscal 2023” are to the Company’s fiscal year ended April 2, 2023; and to “fiscal 2024” are to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
The Company's fiscal year is a 52 or 53-week reporting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to March 31. Each fiscal quarter is 13 weeks for a 52-week fiscal year. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the third quarter. Fiscal 2024 is a 52-week fiscal year.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, where foreign exchange gains and losses related to the outstanding principal balance on the term loan facility, net of hedging, are reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs; previously this was presented in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. This change was made to present all financing costs related to the term loan facility within the same financial statement caption in the consolidated interim statements of income. For the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, we reclassified foreign exchange gains and losses of $3.6m and $11.7m, respectively. This reclassification did not impact net income, earnings per share, or the interim statement of financial position in the comparative quarter.
Refer to “Components of our Results of Operations” in the MD&A section of our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for a description of the Company’s financial measures in accordance with IFRS. There have been no material changes in the Company’s components of our results of operations since April 2, 2023, apart from the reclassification of foreign exchange gains and losses to the term loan facility, net of hedging.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR PERFORMANCE
We believe that our performance depends on many factors including those discussed below.
Growth in our DTC Channel. We plan to continue executing our global strategy through retail and e-Commerce expansion, though the scale of such expansion may be delayed due to current global conditions.
New Products. We intend to continue investing in innovation and the development and introduction of new products, including talent development, as well as expand offerings in our existing product categories, across styles, uses, and climates. This includes Canada Goose footwear and Baffin branded footwear through Baffin’s own distinct sales channels.
Inflationary environment. Inflationary pressures may persist in future fiscal periods and may fluctuate materially between markets. Such pressures may, among other impacts globally, have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current gross margin and SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue. Elevated interest rates may impact our business, including borrowing and other costs, and the markets in which we operate. In addition, inflationary pressures may affect the amount of discretionary income available for certain customers to purchase our products.
Macroeconomic Conditions. We are subject to risks and exposures from the evolving macroeconomic environment, including supply chain disruptions, economic uncertainty, customer budgetary constraints, inflation, and resulting fears of potential economic slowdowns or recessions, all of which may negatively impact consumer demand for our products. We continuously monitor the direct and indirect impacts of these circumstances on our business and financial results.
Seasonality. We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results and have historically realized a significant portion of our annual wholesale revenue during our second and third fiscal quarters, and our annual DTC revenue in our third and fourth fiscal quarters. We generated 78.9% and 82.5% of our annual wholesale revenue in the combined second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. Additionally, we generated 83.9% and 85.0% of our annual DTC revenue in the combined third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. Because of seasonal fluctuations in revenue and fixed costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, we typically experience negative and substantially reduced net income and adjusted EBIT1 in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. As a result of our seasonality, changes that impact gross margin and adjusted EBIT1 among others can have a disproportionate impact on the quarterly results when they are recorded in our off-peak revenue periods. Business performance can also be impacted by the timing and intensity of cold weather, which may affect purchasing behaviour, including causing earlier or later purchases relative to prior periods, especially in our DTC channel.
1    Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
Guided by expected demand and wholesale orders, we typically manufacture on a linear basis throughout the fiscal year. Net working capital requirements typically increase as inventory builds. We finance these needs through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on our revolving credit facility, the Mainland China credit facilities, and the Japan credit facility. Historically, cash flows from operations have been highest in the third and
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
Page 6 of 43


fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC channel and the collection of receivables from wholesale revenue earlier in the year.
Foreign Exchange. We sell a significant portion of our products to customers outside of Canada, which exposes us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, we generated 70.1% and 72.5%, respectively, of our revenue in currencies other than Canadian dollars.
Refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Foreign exchange risk” in the MD&A below for more details on foreign exchange.
Global political events and other disruptions. We are conscious of risks related to social, economic, and political instability, including geopolitical tensions, regulatory matters, market volatility, and social unrest that are affecting consumer spending, international travel, credit markets, and foreign exchange in certain countries and travel corridors.
We remain concerned about the conflict in Ukraine and continue to suspend all wholesale and e-Commerce sales to Russia. We also continue to monitor the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the impacts on human life in both regions.
We have been, and may in the future be, impacted by widespread protests and other disruptions. To the extent that such disruptions persist, we expect that operations and traffic at our retail stores may be impacted.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
Business Combination
On November 1, 2023, a newly incorporated subsidiary of the Company, Paola Confectii Manufacturing Limited (“Paola Confectii”), acquired the business of Paola Confectii SRL, a luxury knitwear manufacturer for total cash consideration of $16.4m, subject to pricing adjustments. Based in Romania, Paola Confectii SRL has been a trusted partner in manufacturing knitwear for Canada Goose since we launched the category in 2017. This acquisition is expected to enhance product margins and supply control, while deepening in-house product expertise and capability.
In connection with the business combination, subject to the controlling shareholders of Paola Confectii SRL (“PCML Vendors”) remaining employees through November 1, 2025, a further amount is payable to the PCML Vendors if certain performance conditions are met based on financial results (“Earn-Out”). The estimated value is calculated as a pre-determined percentage of net equity value, determined as a multiple of EBITDA and EBITDA margin for the fiscal year ending March 30, 2025, subject to a floor, less net debt adjustments. As at the date of acquisition, the estimated value of the payout was $6.6m. The Company recognized the amount as remuneration for future services to be performed conditional on employment until November 1, 2025, which will be expensed over two years.
Paola Confectii’s results of operations have been consolidated with those of the Company from the date of acquisition and are presented in the Other operating segment. Paola Confectii's results for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 are not considered material to these consolidated financial statements.
See “Note 3. Business combination” in our Interim Financial Statements for detailed information on the acquisition of Paola Confectii SRL.

Transformation Program
During the fiscal year ended April 2, 2023, the Company announced its Transformation Program. This multi-phase program is expected to increase operational efficiencies by optimizing production and procurement, developing people and resources, and focusing on our consumers to allow sustainable growth, profitability and long term value.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company completed the consolidation of one of our manufacturing facilities in Montreal to improve efficiencies in our supply chain.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company reduced its global corporate workforce by approximately 10% to improve efficiencies in the workforce and yield savings in labour costs moving forward.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company focused on preparing our stores for peak season and beyond, prioritizing the merchandising of our stores to further support optimal placement of product according to the demand relevant for each store location.
SEGMENTS
Our reporting segments align with our sales channels: Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”), Wholesale, and Other. We measure each reportable operating segment’s performance based on revenue and operating income.
Our DTC segment includes sales to customers through our directly operated retail stores and our e-Commerce website available across numerous markets, which includes the newly launched recommerce platform Canada Goose Generations, currently available in the United States and Canada.
Through our Wholesale segment, we sell to a mix of retailers and international distributors, who are partners that have partial or full exclusive territory rights to sell our products to a particular market through their own DTC channels or local wholesalers. The Wholesale segment includes the introduction of travel retail within the second quarter ended of fiscal 2024.
The Other segment comprises sales and costs not directly allocated to the DTC or Wholesale segments, such as sales to employees, friends and family sales, certain SG&A expenses, and results from the newly acquired Paola Confectii business.

DTC
Revenue from our DTC segment for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 was $679.2m compared to $579.8m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $99.4m or 17.1% was attributable largely to:
Retail expansion, mainly in the United States and Mainland China, with 11 new permanent stores and three temporary stores converted to permanent stores during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, in addition to ten stores in fiscal 2023 running for the full duration of the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to partial operations in fiscal 2023.
Total revenue grew in non-Heavyweight Down categories across all geographies, while Heavyweight down categories grew in Asia Pacific compared to the third quarter ended January 1, 2023.

Strong performance in Asia Pacific with positive comparable sales growth due to:
Continued improvements in tourism in the region.
Return of the domestic consumer and elevated traffic across our retail network in the region; in contrast to fiscal 2023, where reduced working hours and store closures as result of COVID-19 related restrictions unfavourably impacted Asia Pacific results.
Strong performance in the e-Commerce channel positively impacted by Singles’ Day in Greater China.
DTC comparable sales growth1 of (0.8%). The decrease was driven by North America and EMEA, which was partially offset by strong performance in Asia Pacific. Driving factors for results were:
Negative comparable sales growth in North America and EMEA, due to a continuously challenging macroeconomic backdrop, and a decline in e-Commerce revenue in North America and EMEA, despite traffic increases in the majority of stores.
The later onset of cold weather in Asia Pacific and warmer than seasonal weather in North America and EMEA throughout the current fiscal year may have affected purchase behaviour, including causing delayed purchases for our warmest Heavyweight Down products as consumers are buying closer to need.

Wholesale
Revenue from our Wholesale segment for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 was $270.9m compared to $328.3m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The decrease of $57.4m or (17.5)% was due to lower overall order book value as planned. We were further impacted by higher returns from our wholesale partners who were impacted by similar macroeconomic headwinds as our DTC segment as well as lower re-order levels as we exert greater control over managing our inventory. During fiscal 2024, we continued streamlining of wholesale relationships as we optimize for greater DTC sales within our channel mix, consistent with our expectations, across all geographies. We have continued to manage our wholesale relationships based on the strategic nature of our partners, inventory in the segment and DTC distribution, which contributed to the planned year-over-year decrease.
Other
Revenue from our Other segment for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 was $25.7m compared to $15.7m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $10.0m or 63.7% was attributable to increased product sales to employees, friends and family events and revenue contributed by Paola Confectii.

Gross Profit
Gross profit and gross margin for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 were $684.4m and 70.1%, respectively, compared to $624.9m and 67.6%, respectively, for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase in gross profit of $59.5m was attributable to higher DTC

revenue as noted above and margin expansion. Gross margin in the current period has been favourably impacted by pricing, product mix from a decrease in Baffin revenue and from the sale of higher margin styles within both the Heavyweight Down and non-Heavyweight Down categories within Wholesale and segment mix due to a higher proportion of DTC sales, partially offset by higher product costs due to input cost inflation.

Gross profit in our Wholesale segment was $150.2m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $169.5m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The decrease in gross profit of $19.3m was attributable to lower revenues, partially offset by gross margin expansion. The gross margin was 55.4% for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 380 bps compared to 51.6% in the comparative period. During the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, gross margin benefited from pricing (+310 bps), which included positive foreign exchange results due to the strengthening of the euro relative to the Canadian dollar, product mix (+220 bps) from the sale of higher margin styles within both the Heavyweight Down and non-Heavyweight Down categories as well as a decrease in revenue from Baffin, and the lower impact of the fair value inventory acquisition adjustment on sales related to the Company’s joint venture with Sazaby League (“Japan Joint Venture”) in the current year (+80 bps), partially offset by higher product costs (-210 bps) due to input cost inflation.

SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses were $583.0m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $494.9m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $88.1m or 17.8% was attributable to $37.4m in higher costs related to the expanded retail network, $26.6m of activities related to the Transformation Program and $15.5m of incremental corporate personnel costs. The increase was partially offset by the timing of marketing activities to assist with brand awareness and support our growth, which occurred earlier in the year in fiscal 2023 than planned for fiscal 2024.

SG&A expenses in our DTC segment for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 were $234.6m, or 34.5% of segment revenue, compared to $184.0m, or 31.7% of segment revenue, for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of 2.8% in SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment revenue was driven by higher costs in the retail network and negative DTC comparable sales growth1, attributable to performance in North America and EMEA. The increase in costs of $50.6m or 27.5% was primarily due to $37.4m of costs associated with the retail network. This was driven by the expansion of the retail network in the United States and Asia Pacific, prior year store openings running for the full period in fiscal 2024, and higher costs from variable rent in Asia Pacific resulting from increased revenue compared to fiscal 2023. This region was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions in the comparative period. There were no COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs or restrictions in the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.2m in the comparative period.

SG&A expenses in our Other segment, which include unallocated corporate expenses, were $297.2m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $259.9m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $37.3m or 14.4% was attributable to $26.6m of activities related to the Transformation Program, including $21.1m of consultancy fees and $5.5m of corporate restructuring costs, net of share-based award forfeitures, associated with the reduction in workforce, $15.5m of incremental corporate personnel costs, and $1.3m of product donations for Gansu earthquake relief. The increase was partially offset by $3.9m of favourable foreign exchange fluctuations and $2.7m of favourable timing of marketing activities, which occurred earlier in the year in fiscal 2023 than planned for fiscal 2024. In the comparative period, donations of $2.8m were made to the United Nations for Ukrainian refugees, which did not recur in the current period.

Net Interest, Finance and Other Costs
Net interest, finance and other costs were $42.9m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $31.9m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $11.0m, or 34.5% was driven by the increase in net loss of $15.5m on the fair value remeasurement of the put option (liability increase of $12.0m, excluding translation losses of $2.5m) and contingent consideration (liability decrease of $0.3m, excluding translation losses of $1.3m) related to the Japan Joint Venture. The increase was also due to $4.6m of higher interest related to principal payments on lease liabilities, and higher interest charges of $2.6m due to higher gross borrowings during the period on our facilities from the comparative period. The increase was partially offset by favourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the term loan facility which is denominated in USD, net of hedging impacts, of $11.7m.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $8.0m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $19.2m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023.

Given our global operations, the effective tax rate is largely impacted by our profit or loss in taxable jurisdictions relative to the applicable tax rates.
Net Income
Net income for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 was $50.5m compared to $78.9m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023, driven by the factors described above.

The increase of 2.2% in SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment revenue was driven by higher costs incurred in the retail network and negative DTC comparable sales growth1, as a result of performance in North America and EMEA. The increase in costs of $24.2m or 26.2% was primarily due to $21.5m of costs associated with the retail network. This was driven by the expansion of the retail network in the United States and Asia Pacific, prior year store openings running for the full quarter in fiscal 2024, and higher costs from variable rent in Asia Pacific resulting from increased revenue compared to fiscal 2023. This region was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions in the comparative quarter. There were no COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs or restrictions in the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.8m in the comparative quarter.
1.DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
Wholesale
SG&A expenses in our Wholesale segment for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 were $17.8m, or 21.8% of segment revenue, compared to $21.8m, or 19.1% of segment revenue, for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase of 2.7% in SG&A as a percentage of segment revenue was primarily driven by lower revenue in the quarter and $4.0m or 18.3% of lower costs. The decrease in costs was attributable to $2.2m reduced freight and warehouse costs driven by lower volumes, and $0.7m of lower personnel costs and commissions, partially offset by costs incurred related to the build-out of travel retail locations.

Other
SG&A expenses in our Other segment, which include unallocated corporate expenses, were $116.6m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $111.6m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $5.0m or 4.5% was attributable to $5.6m of consultancy fees related to the Transformation Program, $2.8m of incremental corporate personnel costs, $1.3m of product donations for Gansu earthquake relief, and $1.0m of higher legal costs. The increase was partially offset by $3.2m of favourable foreign exchange fluctuations. In the comparative quarter, donations of $2.8m were made to the United Nations for Ukrainian refugees, which did not recur in the current quarter.
Operating Income and Margin
Operating income and operating margin were $198.8m and 32.6% for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $190.7m and 33.1% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase in operating income of $8.1m was attributable to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A costs noted above. The decrease in operating margin of (50) bps was attributable to higher SG&A costs, partially offset by the improved gross margin.

The increase in operating income of $28.3m was attributable to improved revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher costs associated with the expansion of the retail network. The decrease in operating margin of (160) bps was attributable to higher costs associated with the expanded retail network and a decline in DTC comparable sales growth, as described above. There were no COVID-19 related temporary store closure costs in the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $0.8m in the comparative quarter.

The decrease in operating income of $12.9m was attributable to lower gross profit and SG&A expenses as discussed above. The decrease in operating margin of (220) bps was attributable to higher SG&A costs as discussed above, partially offset by the improved gross margin.

Other
Other segment operating loss was $(114.2)m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $(106.9)m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase in operating loss of $7.3m was attributable to higher SG&A expenses as discussed above and lower gross profit realized in this segment.
Net Interest, Finance and Other Costs
Net interest, finance and other costs were $14.8m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $2.4m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase of $12.4m was driven by the increase in net loss of $5.7m on the fair value remeasurement of the put option (liability increase of $4.9m, excluding translation losses of $0.4m) and contingent consideration (liability decrease of $0.4m, excluding translation losses of $0.8m) related to the Japan Joint Venture. The increase was also driven by unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations related to the term loan facility which is denominated in USD, net of hedging impacts, of $4.1m.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $52.6m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $50.8m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. For the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, the effective and statutory tax rates were 28.6% and 25.5%, respectively, compared to 27.0% and 25.3% for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023, respectively. Given our global operations, the quarter to date effective tax rate is largely impacted by our profit or loss in taxable jurisdictions relative to the applicable tax rates.
Net Income
Net income for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $131.4m compared to $137.5m for third quarter ended January 1, 2023, driven by the factors described above.

Revenue is highest in our Wholesale segment in our second and third quarters as we fulfill wholesale customer orders in time for the Fall and Winter retail seasons, and, in our DTC segment, in the third and fourth quarters. Our net income is typically negative in the first quarter and negative or reduced in the second quarter as we invest ahead of our peak season.
Revenue
Over the last eight quarters, revenue has been impacted by the following:
COVID-19 beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020;
the formation of the Japan Joint Venture on April 4, 2022;
timing of store openings;
launch and expansion of international e-Commerce sites;
timing and extent of SG&A, including demand generation activities;
increased manufacturing flexibility with higher in-house production, which has an impact on the timing of wholesale order shipments and customer demand;
timing of end-consumer purchasing in the DTC segment and the availability of new products;
successful execution of global pricing strategy;
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
Page 24 of 43


shift in mix of revenue from wholesale to DTC, which has impacted the seasonality of our financial performance;
shift in geographic mix of sales to increase sales outside of Canada, where average unit retail pricing is generally higher;
fluctuation of foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar;
the extra week in the third quarter of fiscal 2022; and
the formation of the new subsidiary Paola Confectii on November 1, 2023, in connection with the business combination.
Net Income (Loss)
Over the last eight quarters, net income (loss) has been affected by the following factors:
impact of the items affecting revenue, as discussed above;
increase and timing of our investment in brand, marketing, and administrative support as well as increased investment in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets to support growth initiatives;
increase in fixed SG&A costs associated with our business, particularly the headcount growth and premises costs associated with our expanding DTC channel, resulting in net losses our seasonally low-revenue first and fourth quarters, respectively;
impact of foreign exchange;
fluctuations in average cost of borrowings to address growing net working capital requirements and higher seasonal borrowings in the first and second quarters of each fiscal year to address the seasonal nature of revenue;
pre-store opening costs incurred, timing of leases signed, and opening of stores;
the nature and timing of transaction costs in connection with the Japan Joint Venture and amendments to long-term debt agreements;
the proportion of taxable income in non-Canadian jurisdictions and changes to rates and tax legislation in those jurisdictions;
increased freight costs, limitations on shipping and other disruptions in the transportation and shipping infrastructure;
increased product costs due to cost inflation and higher interest rates; and
the introduction of the Transformation Program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER SPECIFIED FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses certain financial measures that are “non-IFRS financial measures”, including adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, constant currency revenue, net debt, net working capital, and free operating cash flow, certain financial measures that are “non-IFRS ratios”, including adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to shareholders of the Company, net debt leverage, and net working capital as a percentage of revenue, as well as DTC comparable sales growth which is a supplementary financial measure, in each case in this document and other documents. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance and its financial position. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS, as issued by the IASB, nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

These measures exclude the impact of certain non-cash items and certain other adjustments related to events that are non-recurring or unusual in nature, that we believe are not otherwise reflective of our ongoing operations and/or that make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to evaluate our core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes, as well as to analyze how our business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the apparel industry.
Constant currency revenue
Constant currency revenue is calculated by translating the prior year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency calculated based on the current period exchange rates. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess how our business and geographic segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. See “Results of Operations - Revenue” for a reconciliation of reported revenue and revenue on a constant currency basis.
Net debt and net debt leverage
We define net debt as cash less total borrowings and lease liabilities, and net debt leverage as the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA, measured on a spot basis. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to determine the Company’s financial leverage and ability to meet its debt obligations. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness” below for a table providing the calculation of net debt and discussion of net debt leverage.
Net working capital
We define net working capital as current assets, net of cash, minus current liabilities, excluding the short-term borrowings and current portion of lease liabilities. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information to assess the Company’s liquidity and management of net working capital resources. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financial Conditions” below for a table providing the calculation of net working capital.
Free operating cash flow
We define free operating cash flow as net cash flows from (used in) operating activities plus net cash flows from (used in) investing activities, minus principal payments on lease liabilities. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts use, this information as an indicator of operational financial performance and to assess the Company’s financial leverage and cash available for repayment of borrowings and other financing activities. See “Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows” below for a table providing the calculation of free operating cash flow.
DTC comparable sales growth
DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure defined as sales on a constant currency basis from e-Commerce sites and stores which have been operating for one full year (12 successive fiscal months). The measure excludes store sales from both periods for
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

the specific trading days when the stores were closed, whether those closures occurred in the current period or the comparative period.
The tables below reconcile net income to adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBIT margin is equal to adjusted EBIT for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period.
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, foreign exchange gains and losses related to the term loan facility, net of hedging, are now reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs; which was previously presented in SG&A expenses. Comparable periods have been reclassified to reflect this change.

1Net working capital is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
As at December 31, 2023, we had $353.7m of net working capital compared to $326.5m of net working capital as at January 1, 2023. Net working capital as a percentage of revenue was 32.7% as at December 31, 2023 and 32.2% in the comparative quarter. The $27.2m increase in net working capital, or 8.3%, was driven by an increase in trade receivables.
As at December 31, 2023, we had $353.7m of net working capital compared to $328.0m of net working capital as at April 2, 2023.
As at December 31, 2023, total inventory was relatively flat year-over-year. We have decelerated inventory growth in the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 since fiscal 2023 as compared to the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 to fiscal 2022. Planned deceleration of inventory growth and a shift to in-house production is expected to support alignment between production levels, anticipated revenue growth and utilize the evergreen product we have on-hand. However, higher finished goods inventory levels year-over-year are attributable to lower-than-expected sales compared to inventory planning. In response, during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, we increased our obsolescence reserve for slow-moving finished goods and continue to focus on optimizing inventory productivity. We continue to monitor the levels of inventory in each of our sales channels and across geographic regions and intend to continue to align inventory with demand that we forecast in each region.
Inventory of $1.6m was acquired through Paola Confectii, and its inventory level is $2.2m as at December 31, 2023.

Cash Requirements
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund net working capital, capital expenditures including new stores, debt services, and general corporate requirements of our business. Our primary source of liquidity to meet our cash requirements is cash generated from operating activities over our annual operating cycle. We also utilize the Mainland China credit facilities, the Japan credit facility, the revolving credit facility, and the trade accounts receivable factoring program to provide short-term liquidity and to have funds available for net working capital. Our ability to fund our operations, invest in planned capital expenditures, meet debt obligations, and repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject, but not limited to, prevailing economic, financial, and business conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Cash generated from operating activities is significantly impacted by the seasonality of our business. Historically, cash flows from operating activities have been highest in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year due to revenue from the DTC channel and the collection of receivables from wholesale revenue recognized earlier in the year.
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities were $81.8m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $109.3m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The decrease in cash from operating activities of $27.5m was due to lower net income, higher taxes paid of $24.7m and higher interest paid of $8.9m, partially offset by lower inventory production.
Cash flows from operating activities were $348.3m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $351.0m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities of $2.7m was due to higher taxes paid of $2.0m and higher interest paid of $3.5m, partially offset by lower inventory production.

Cash flows used in investing activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $59.7m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to $21.4m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities of $38.3m was primarily due to increased costs on capital expenditures by $23.4m, driven by the expansion of the retail network, the settlements associated with the completion of the new head office, as well as $12.3m for the acquisition of Paola Confectii.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $27.6m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $12.8m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities of $14.8m was primarily due to the acquisition of Paola Confectii for $12.3m and increased costs on capital expenditures driven by the expansion of the retail network.
Cash flows used in financing activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $153.3m for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 compared to cash flow used in financing activities of $35.3m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $118.0m was driven by $95.6m of higher payments for the purchase of subordinate voting shares that were cancelled related to the normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) that begun during fiscal 2023 (the “Fiscal 2023 NCIB”) and the NCIB that begun during fiscal 2024 (the “Fiscal 2024 NCIB”) as described below, increased repayments of $16.2m on the Mainland China credit facilities and increased principal payments on lease liabilities of $5.2m. See “Financial Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Normal Course Issuer Bids”, for more information on the Fiscal 2023 and the Fiscal 2024 NCIB.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $204.4m for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to cash flow used in financing activities of $95.2m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $109.2m was driven by $38.2m of higher payments for the purchase of subordinate voting shares that were cancelled related to the Fiscal 2023 NCIB and Fiscal 2024 NCIB as described below, increased repayments of $30.4m on the revolving credit facility, $29.8m on the Mainland China credit facilities and $7.1m on the Japan credit facility.

Free operating cash flows in the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 decreased to $(27.6)m from $43.4m for the three quarters ended January 1, 2023 due to lower net income, lower cash flow from operating activities, higher cash flow used in investing activities, and higher principal paid on lease liabilities as described above.
Free operating cash flows in the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 decreased to $299.7m from $321.0m for the third quarter ended January 1, 2023 due to lower cash flow from operating activities, higher cash used in investing activities, and higher principal paid on lease liabilities as described above.

As at December 31, 2023, net debt was $587.4m compared to $419.2m as at January 1, 2023. The increase of $168.2m was driven by a decrease in cash of $189.9m, partially offset by decreased borrowings on the Mainland China credit facilities, Japan credit facility and the term loan facility. Net debt leverage1 as at December 31, 2023 was 2.1 times adjusted EBITDA, compared to 1.6 times adjusted EBITDA as at January 1, 2023.
Net debt as at December 31, 2023 was $587.4m compared to $468.1m as at April 2, 2023. The increase in net debt of $119.3m was driven by a decrease in cash of $132.2m and increased borrowings on the Japan credit facility, partially offset by decreased borrowings on term loan facility and lower lease liabilities.
See “Note 11. Borrowings” in our Interim Financial Statements, “Note 17. Borrowings”, “Factors affecting performance” and “Indebtedness” in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for detailed information on our debt facilities and seasonality of the business.
Amendments to borrowings
Effective June 30, 2023, LIBOR rates were no longer published for U.S Dollars. As a result, in the first quarter ended July 2, 2023, the Company transitioned facilities and contracts denominated in U.S dollars applying LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”). The Company entered into further amendments for the revolving credit facility, the term loan facility and the interest rate swaps to transition to SOFR. In connection with the amendments, during the first quarter ended July 2, 2023 the Company also extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility to May 15, 2028 and incurred transaction costs of $0.7m, on the extension of the revolving credit facility, which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the new term to maturity. The term loan facility now has an interest rate of SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.11448%. There were no amendments to borrowings in the third quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Normal Course Issuer Bids
Share capital transactions for the three quarters ended December 31, 2023
Normal course issuer bid for Fiscal 2024
During the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company has renewed its NCIB in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company is authorized to make purchases under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB from November 22, 2023 to November 21, 2024, in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the Company to repurchase up to 4,980,505 subordinate voting shares, representing 10.0% of the Public Float (as defined in the rules of the TSX) for the subordinate voting shares as at November 10, 2023. Purchases will be made by means of open market transactions on both the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or alternative trading systems, if eligible, and will conform to their regulations. Under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB, the Company is allowed to repurchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 71,846 subordinate voting shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume, as calculated per the TSX rules for the six-month period starting on May 1, 2023 and ending on October 31, 2023. A copy of the Company's notice of intention to commence a NCIB through the facilities of the TSX may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Company.

The Company believes that the purchase of its subordinate voting shares under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB is an appropriate and desirable use of available excess cash.
In connection with the Fiscal 2024 NCIB, the Company also entered an automatic share purchase plan (the “Fiscal 2024 ASPP”) under which a designated broker may purchase subordinate voting shares under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB during the regularly scheduled quarterly trading blackout periods of the Company. The repurchases made under the Fiscal 2024 ASPP will be made in accordance with certain purchasing parameters and will continue until the earlier of the date in which the Company has purchased the maximum value of subordinate voting shares pursuant to the Fiscal 2024 ASPP or upon the date of expiry of the Fiscal 2024 NCIB.
During the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, under the Fiscal 2024 NCIB, since it was initiated on November 22, 2023, the Company purchased 1,862,550 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $29.5m, of which $2.3m was payable to the designated broker as at the period end. The amount to purchase the subordinate voting shares was charged to share capital, with the remaining $25.3m charged to retained earnings. Of the 1,862,550 subordinate voting shares purchased, 1,365,074 were purchased under the Fiscal 2024 ASPP for total cash consideration of $22.2m.
A liability representing the maximum amount that the Company could be required to pay the designated broker under the Fiscal 2024 ASPP was $43.1m as at December 31, 2023. The amount was charged to contributed surplus. Subsequent to the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company purchased an additional 1,508,082 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $23.8m under the Fiscal 2024 ASPP. As at the filing date of this report, the remaining liability to the designated broker is $3.6m.
Normal course issuer bid for Fiscal 2023
Prior to the Fiscal 2024 NCIB, the Company maintained another NCIB in relation to its subordinate voting shares. The Company was authorized to make purchases from November 22, 2022 to November 21, 2023 under the Fiscal 2023 NCIB, in accordance with the rules of the TSX. The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to repurchase up to 5,421,685 subordinate voting shares, representing 10% of the Public Float for the subordinate voting shares as at November 10, 2022.
During the three quarters ended December 31, 2023, under the Fiscal 2023 NCIB until its expiration, the Company purchased 4,268,883 subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $83.3m. The amount to purchase the subordinate voting shares was charged to share capital, with the remaining $73.6m charged to retained earnings. Of the 4,268,883 subordinate voting shares purchased, 1,184,152 were purchased under the automatic share purchase plan in connection with the Fiscal 2023 NCIB for total cash consideration of $25.3m.
During the validity of the Fiscal 2023 NCIB, the Company purchased 5,421,685, which represents the total authorized subordinate voting shares for cancellation for total cash consideration of $111.2m. Purchases were made during the validity of the Fiscal 2023 NCIB by means of open market transactions on the TSX, the NYSE and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States.

Contractual Obligations
Refer to “Contractual Obligations” in the MD&A section of our fiscal 2023 Annual Report and “Note 16. Financial risk management objectives and policies” of our Interim Financial Statements for a summary of the significant contractual obligations and other obligations of the Company. There have been no material changes since April 2, 2023.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company uses off-balance sheet arrangements including letters of credit and guarantees in connection with certain obligations including leases. In Europe, a subsidiary of the Company also entered into an agreement to factor, on a limited recourse basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable up to a limit of EUR20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice. Other than those items disclosed here and elsewhere in this MD&A and our financial statements, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments as at December 31, 2023.
See “Note 16. Financial risk and management objectives and policies” in the Interim Financial Statements and “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for detailed information on our off-balance sheet arrangements.
OUTSTANDING SHARE CAPITAL
Canada Goose is a publicly traded company and the subordinate voting shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: GOOS) and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: GOOS). As at January 25, 2024, there were 45,931,714 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding, and 51,004,076 multiple voting shares issued and outstanding.
As at January 25, 2024, there were 4,473,959 options, 521,551 restricted share units, and 389,858 performance share units outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, of which 2,191,788 options were vested as of such date. Each option is exercisable for one subordinate voting share. We expect that vested restricted share units and performance share units will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one subordinate voting share per unit.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally associated with credit risk, foreign currency risk, and interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk arises from the possibility that certain parties will be unable to discharge their obligations. The Company manages its credit risk through a combination of third party credit insurance and internal house risk. The Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of loss for up to 90% of trade accounts receivable from certain designated customers subject to a total deductible of $0.1m, to a maximum of $30.0m per year. Moreover, within CG Japan, the Company has an agreement with a third party who has insured the risk of trade accounts receivable for certain designated customers for a maximum of JPY540.0m per annum subject to a deductible of 10% and applicable only to accounts with receivables over JPY100k.

In addition, a subsidiary of the Company in Europe manages credit risk through the agreement to factor, on a limited recourse basis, certain of its trade accounts receivable up to a limit of EUR20.0m in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice.
Our exposure to credit risk has not significantly changed from the fiscal year ended April 2, 2023. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for detailed information on the Company’s credit risk.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk in operating cash flows
Our Interim Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, but a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues, purchases, and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds sterling, Swiss francs, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollars, and Japanese yen. Furthermore, as our business in Greater China grows, transactions in Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar and Taiwanese dollar are expected to increase. Net monetary assets denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars that are held in entities with Canadian dollar functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses from our foreign operations into Canadian dollars. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, to the extent they are not hedged, will positively impact operating income and net income by increasing our revenue, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar will have the opposite impact.
We are also exposed to fluctuations in the prices of U.S. dollar and euro denominated purchases as a result of changes in U.S. dollar or euro exchange rates. Most of our raw materials are sourced outside of Canada, primarily in U.S. dollars, and SG&A expenses are typically denominated in the currency of the country in which they are incurred. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations on multiple currencies. A depreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar or euro will negatively impact operating income and net income by increasing our costs of raw materials, while an appreciating Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar or euro will have the opposite impact.
As part of our risk management program, we have entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts to manage certain of our exposures to exchange rate fluctuations for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies. Certain forward foreign exchange contracts were designated at inception and accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange risk on borrowings
We are further exposed to translation and transaction risks associated with foreign currency exchange fluctuations on foreign currencies denominated principal and interest amounts payable on the Mainland China credit facilities, the Japan credit facility, the revolving credit facility, and the term loan facility. The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge 90% or USD270.0m of its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk related to principal payments on the term loan facility denominated in U.S. dollars.
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
Page 39 of 43


See “Note 16. Financial risk and management objectives and policies” in our Interim Financial Statements, and the “Foreign exchange risk” section of our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for detailed information about the Company’s hedging program.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to the effect of interest rate changes on the borrowings outstanding under the Mainland China credit facilities, Japan credit facility, and the term loan facility, which currently bear interest rates at 3.00%, 0.34%, and 8.97%, respectively.
Interest rate risk on the term loan facility is partially mitigated by interest rate swap hedges. The Company has entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements terminating December 31, 2025 to pay fixed interest rates and receive floating interest rates on notional debt of USD270.0m. Effective June 30, 2023, the floating interest benchmark reference rate contained within the swap agreements were amended from LIBOR to SOFR and the average fixed rates were reduced from 1.97% to 1.76%. These swap agreements fix the interest rate on the USD300.0m term loan facility. Following the amendment, the interest rate swaps continue to be designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Based on the weighted average amount of outstanding borrowings, a 1.00% increase in the average interest rate during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 would have increased interest expense on the Mainland China credit facilities, Japan credit facility, and the term loan facility by $0.3m, $0.2m, and $3.0m, respectively (three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $0.1m, $0.2m, and $2.9m, respectively).
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company enters into transactions from time to time with its principal shareholders and organizations affiliated with members of the Board of Directors by incurring expenses for business services. During the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred expenses with related parties of $0.4m and $0.8m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $0.3m and $0.8m, respectively) from companies related to certain shareholders. Balances owing to related parties as at December 31, 2023 were $0.4m (January 1, 2023 - $0.4m, April 2, 2023 - $0.4m).
A lease liability due to the former controlling shareholder of the acquired Baffin Inc. business (the "Baffin Vendor") for leased premises was $2.8m as at December 31, 2023 (January 1, 2023 - $3.3m, April 2, 2023 - $3.1m). During the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid principal and interest on the lease liability, net of rent concessions, and other operating costs to entities affiliated with the Baffin Vendor totalling $0.3m and $1.0m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $0.4m and $1.1m, respectively). No amounts were owing to Baffin entities as at December 31, 2023, January 1, 2023, and April 2, 2023.
The Japan Joint Venture has lease liabilities due to the non-controlling shareholder, Sazaby League, for leased premises. Lease liabilities were $2.2m as at December 31, 2023 (January 1, 2023 - $2.8m, April 2, 2023 - $2.7m). During the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred principal and interest on lease liabilities, royalty fees, and other operating costs to Sazaby League totalling $1.3m and $3.2m, respectively (third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $1.0m and $3.5m, respectively). Balances owing to Sazaby League as at December 31, 2023 were $0.1m (January 1, 2023 - $0.6m, April 2, 2023 - $0.2m).
Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

During the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture sold inventory of $1.1m and $1.2m, respectively to companies wholly owned by Sazaby League (third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023 - $1.1m and $1.2m, respectively). As at December 31, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture recognized a trade receivable of $0.9m from these companies (January 1, 2023 - $0.7m, April 2, 2023 - $0.1m).
Pursuant to the agreement entered between the Company and Sazaby League to form the Japan Joint Venture ("Joint Venture Agreement"), during the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Company sold inventory of $0.7m and $11.9m, respectively, to Sazaby League for repurchase by the Japan Joint Venture for inventory fulfillment. There was no outstanding receivable from Sazaby League as at January 1, 2023. During the third and three quarters ended January 1, 2023, the Japan Joint Venture repurchased $0.3m and $11.5m, respectively, of inventory from Sazaby League and the Japan Joint Venture recognized a payable to Sazaby League of less than $0.1m as at January 1, 2023 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These transactions were measured based on pricing established through the Joint Venture Agreement at market terms and were not recognized as sales transactions. The repurchase of inventory pursuant to this Joint Venture Agreement was completed during the fourth quarter ended April 2, 2023.
In connection with the Paola Confectii business combination, for the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $0.5m of remuneration costs related to the Earn-Out based on the estimated value of $6.6m for the payout. These costs have been included in other long-term liabilities on the statement of financial position, and reflects the amount owing to the PCML Vendors as at December 31, 2023.
A lease liability due to one of the PCML Vendors for leased premises was $1.2m as at December 31, 2023. During the third and three quarters ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid principal and interest on the lease liability, to one of the PCML Vendors totalling less than $0.1m, respectively. No amounts were owing to one of the PCML Vendors as at December 31, 2023.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report for detailed information.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Standards issued and not yet adopted
Certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments, and interpretations is provided below.
In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify its requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position. The limited scope amendment affected only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendment clarified that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specified that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. It also introduced a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the amendment.
Standards issued and adopted
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Beginning April 3, 2023, the Company adopted the amendments. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
In May 2023, the IASB issued International Tax Reform, Pillar Two Model Rules, Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (the “Amendments”). The Amendments provide the Company with an exception from recognition and disclosure requirements for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two international tax reform. Upon issuance of the Amendments, the temporary exception has been adopted by the Company as at July 2, 2023. The disclosure requirements for current tax expense and the disclosures for enacted legislation but not yet effective are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, but are not required for any interim period ending on or before December 31, 2023.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the appropriate time periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and the CFO and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that the receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the assets of the Company that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three quarters ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Management's projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Canada Goose Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Revenue increased 6% year-over-year to $609.9 million
Reported net income of $131.4 million
Adjusted EBIT6 of $207.2 million

Toronto - Feb 1, 2024 – Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (NYSE, TSX: GOOS), a global performance luxury and lifestyle brand, announced today financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended December 31, 2023, and an updated outlook for fiscal 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
“Our third quarter results were in line with our guidance, highlighted by progress across our strategic priorities, including robust growth in the Asia Pacific region, increased revenue across categories, with particular strength in apparel, the delivery of elevated experiences across all touch points, and increased efficiencies driven by our transformation initiatives,” said Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO of Canada Goose. “While we continue to operate in a challenging consumer spending environment, we are encouraged by our holiday performance, which saw record traffic levels and strong revenue generated during key consumer moments. We remain confident in our strategy and our ability to capitalize on the unique heritage of our iconic, luxury brand to deliver long-term profitable growth.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Highlights1:
Total revenue increased 6% to $609.9m compared to the prior year period, up 5% on a constant currency basis2.
DTC revenue grew 14% to $514.0m, up 14% on a constant currency basis2, driven by growth of in-store retail sales. Sales from DTC channels increased as part of the total revenue mix to 84% from 78% in the same reporting period last year. DTC comparable sales3 decreased 1.6% year-over-year due to lower e-commerce sales, partially offset by higher comparable in-store sales compared to the same period in the prior year.

Wholesale revenue decreased (28)% or (30)% on a constant currency basis2 primarily due to a planned lower order book value resulting from lower orders from existing customers, compared to the same period in the prior year, and the ongoing streamlining of wholesale relationships as we optimize for greater DTC sales. In addition, we estimated higher returns from our wholesale partners as we proactively manage our inventory.

Revenue grew by 62% year-over-year in Asia Pacific with higher sales across all channels. Revenue was down (26)% in EMEA4 and (14)% in North America year-over-year primarily due to the decline in e-commerce and wholesale revenue, partially offset by contribution from new stores.

Gross profit grew 8% to $449.7m, compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the quarter expanded to 73.7% compared to 72.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to pricing, partially offset by higher product costs due to input cost inflation.

1 Comparisons to third quarter ended January 1, 2023.
2 Constant currency revenue is a non-IFRS financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for more information.
3 DTC comparable sales growth is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures” for a description of this measure.
4 EMEA comprises Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)5 expenses were $250.9m, compared to $225.7m in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to our expanded retail network and set-up costs related to our Transformation Program.

Operating lncome5 was $198.8m, compared to $190.7m in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was attributable to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A costs.

Adjusted EBIT5,6 was $207.2m, compared to $197.1m in the prior year period.

Net Income attributable to shareholders was $130.6m, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared with a net income attributable to shareholders of $134.9m, or $1.28 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted net income to shareholders6,7was $138.6m, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net income of $134.5m, or $1.27 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Business Highlights

During the third quarter, Canada Goose continued to engage and drive brand desirability with consumers globally through the holiday shopping season through elevated shopping experiences, product collaborations, and a stylish and functional product assortment. Notable business highlights from our third quarter included the following:

Driving consumer-focused growth
Launched our second collaboration with BAPE, which has been the fastest selling collaboration year-to-date in fiscal 2024. We also executed collaborations with Pyer Moss, Concepts, OVO, Giants of Africa and the Shoe Surgeon to drive brand heat.
Delivered a strong Black Friday long holiday shopping weekend, with record store traffic and a more than 40% increase in revenue over the comparable holiday shopping period in 2022.
Expanded our travel retail footprint, entering South Korea, following the opening of the travel retail store in Frankfurt in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Building the DTC network
Opened two permanent stores, in New Jersey's American Dream mall, and in Kobe, Japan, and converted one temporary store to permanent in New York City, bringing the total permanent store count to 65 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. In January, we opened a permanent store in Nanjing, China.

Product expansion
Non-Heavyweight Down category grew year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, expanding its share of revenue within the overall mix. Within non-Heavyweight Down, apparel was our fastest growing category, increasing across all key markets.
Acquired Paola Confectii, a manufacturing partner in luxury knitwear, marking our first European manufacturing facility. This acquisition supports the company’s strategic objective of expanding existing categories by deepening in-house product expertise.


Fiscal 2024 Full Year and Q4 Outlook8

The outlook that follows supersedes all prior financial outlook statements made by Canada Goose, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. The purpose of this outlook is to provide a description of management's expectations regarding the Company's annual financial performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Canada Goose’s control. Please see "Forward-looking Statements" below for more information.

Based on quarter-to-date trends, Canada Goose expects the following for fourth quarter fiscal 2024:

Total revenue between $310m and $330m.
Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT between $14m and $27m.
Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.02 and $0.13.




8The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for non-IFRS adjusted EBIT and non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable IFRS measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals in respect of certain one-time items (b) the impact of foreign currency exchange and (c) non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control and as a result it is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with IFRS, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures included in its fiscal 2024 guidance.
3


For fiscal 2024, we expect:

Total revenue between $1.285b and $1.305b, compared to previous guidance of $1.2b to $1.4b.
Non-IFRS adjusted EBIT between $146m and $158m, representing a margin of between 11% and 12%, compared to previous guidance of non-IFRS adjusted EBIT of $135m to $225m, representing a margin of 11% to 16%.
Non-IFRS adjusted net income per diluted share between $0.82 and $0.92, compared to previous guidance of $0.60 to $1.40.

Our outlook now includes the following assumptions:

DTC revenue as a percentage of total revenue of approximately 70%, representing a low-single-digit decrease to a low-single-digit increase in year-over-year DTC comparable sales growth, and continued channel expansion.
Wholesale revenue growth to decrease by a high-teens percentage rate year-over-year, reflective of the continued editing of our wholesale door count, returns from wholesale partners, revised re-order expectations, and expansion of our retail store network.
Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue to be in the high 60s, with DTC and wholesale gross margins in the mid 70s and low 50s, respectively.
Three permanent stores planned in the fourth quarter, bringing the total permanent store count to 68 at the end of the fiscal year.
SG&A expense to grow at a mid-teens percentage rate on a year-over-year basis due to a larger DTC network and operating cost base, moderated by cost savings initiatives, including approximately $15m in savings from the Transformation Program in fiscal 2024.
Effective tax rate in the high teens as a percentage of income before taxes for fiscal 2024.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 101.7m for fiscal 2024, reflecting share buy backs executed year-to-date and assumed dilution effective of outstanding share-based payments.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures
This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income and constant currency revenue and certain non-IFRS ratios such as, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company and adjusted net income per basic and diluted share attributable to the shareholders of the Company. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Additional information, including definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in our MD&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 under “Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Other Specified Financial Measures. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and, in the case of constant currency revenue, under “Revenue”.
This press release also includes DTC comparable sales growth which is a supplementary financial measure defined as sales on a constant currency basis from e-Commerce sites and stores which have been operating for one full year (12 successive fiscal months). The measure excludes store sales from both periods for the specific trading days when the stores were closed, whether those closures occurred in the current period or the comparative period.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
The tables below reconcile net income to adjusted EBIT and adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of the Company for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBIT margin is equal to adjusted EBIT for the period presented as a percentage of revenue for the same period.
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, foreign exchange gains and losses related to the term loan, net of hedging, are now reflected in the presentation of net interest, finance and other costs, which was previously presented in SG&A expenses. Comparable periods have been reclassified to reflect this change.
