Item 2.02: Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 22, 2008, Coach, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) in which the Company announced its financial results for its fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2008. All information in the press release is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to liability under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The attached press release includes the following Non-GAAP financial information:

Net sales and operating income for Coach as a whole, as well as sales for Coach Japan, have been presented both including and excluding currency fluctuation effects from translating Japanese yen-denominated sales into U.S. dollars for the quarter and compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The Company believes that it is appropriate to present this supplemental information, for the following reasons:

Presenting information as described above will allow investors to better understand the Company’s operating and financial results and how such results compare with the Company’s prior guidance.
Presenting operating income, consolidated sales and Japan sales all including and excluding currency fluctuation effects will help investors and analysts to understand the effect on these valuable performance measures of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations.
