• "The successful integration of Kate Spade onto the Tapestry platform continued, as we achieved the anticipated synergies for the year. Kate Spade fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations from both a top- and bottom-line perspective with both sales and operating margin increasing from reported prior year results. In its first year within Tapestry, Kate Spade delivered double digit earnings per share accretion, despite the strategic pullback in online flash and wholesale disposition...Finally at Stuart Weitzman, as anticipated, fourth quarter results continued to be negatively impacted by development and delivery delays which pressured sales and margins. For the year, sales were essentially unchanged, reflecting the second half challenges. During the quarter, we continued to implement the production and planning processes necessary to drive the business forward and remain confident in the long term opportunities for the brand."
