Forward guidance
Due to the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the business globally, total company guidance for fiscal 2020 will remain suspended, except for selected metrics.

Tailwinds
- China's sales are expected to substantially recover with comparable store sales roughly flat to prior year levels at the end of fiscal year 2020.
- At least 500 net new stores in China
- Based on substantial experience in China to date, the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak are temporary and the business will fully recover over time.
