PVH CORP.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements relating to our future revenue, earnings and cash flows, plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy, and some of which might not be anticipated, including, without limitation, (i) our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at our discretion; (ii) our ability to realize anticipated benefits and savings from divestitures, restructurings and similar plans, such as the headcount cost reduction initiative announced in August 2022, the 2021 sale of assets of, and exit from, our Heritage Brands menswear and retail businesses, the November 2023 sale of the Heritage Brands women’s intimate apparel business to focus on our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses and our current multi-year initiative to simplify our operating model; (iii) the ability to realize the intended benefits from the acquisition of licensees or the reversion of licensed rights (such as the announced, in-process plan to bring in-house most of the product categories that are or had been licensed to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. upon the expirations over time of the underlying license agreements) and avoid any disruptions in the businesses during the transition from operation by the licensee to the direct operation by us; (iv) we have significant levels of outstanding debt and borrowing capacity and we use a significant portion of our cash flows to service our indebtedness, as a result of which we might not have sufficient funds to operate our businesses in the manner we intend or have operated in the past; (v) the levels of sales of our apparel, footwear and related products, both to our wholesale customers and in our retail stores and our directly operated digital commerce sites, the levels of sales of our licensees at wholesale and retail, and the extent of discounts and promotional pricing in which we and our licensees and other business partners are required to engage, all of which can be affected by weather conditions, changes in the economy (including inflationary pressures like those currently being experienced globally), fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, consumer sentiment and other factors; (vi) our ability to manage our growth and inventory; (vii) quota restrictions, the imposition of safeguard controls and the imposition of new or increased duties or tariffs on goods from the countries where we or our licensees produce goods under our trademarks, any of which, among other things, could limit the ability to produce products in cost-effective countries, or in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed, or require us to absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability; (viii) the availability and cost of raw materials; (ix) our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations and the migration and development of manufacturers (which can affect where our products can best be produced); (x) the regulation or prohibition of the transaction of business with specific individuals or entities and their affiliates or goods manufactured in (or containing raw materials or components from) certain regions, such as the listing of a person or entity as a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the issuance of Withhold Release Orders by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection; (xi) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, and store closures in any of the countries where our licensees’ or wholesale customers’ or other business partners’ stores are located or products are sold or produced or are planned to be sold or produced, as a result of civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability, such as the current war in Ukraine that led to our exit from our retail business in Russia and the cessation of our wholesale operations in Russia and Belarus, and the temporary cessation of business by many of our business partners in Ukraine; (xii) disease epidemics and health-related concerns, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in (and, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, did result in some of the following) supply-chain disruptions due to closed factories, reduced workforces and production capacity, shipping delays, container and trucker shortages, port congestion and other logistics problems, closed stores, and reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, or governments implement mandatory business closures, travel restrictions or the like, and market or other changes that could result in shortages of inventory available to be delivered to our stores and customers, order cancellations and lost sales, as well as in noncash impairments of our goodwill and other intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property, plant and equipment; (xiii) actions taken towards sustainability and social and environmental responsibility as part of our sustainability and social and environmental strategy may not be achieved or may be perceived to be falsely claimed, which could diminish consumer trust in our brands, as well as our brands’ values; (xiv) the failure of our licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of our brands, or their misuse of our brands; (xv) significant fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we transact significant levels of business; (xvi) our retirement plan expenses recorded throughout the year are calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions, and differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses, which can be significant, that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year; (xvii) the impact of new and revised tax legislation and regulations; (xviii) the duration and outcome of the investigation of our business by China’s Ministry of Commerce under the Provisions on the List of Unreliable Entities, which could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China; and (xix) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, any estimate regarding revenue, earnings or cash flows, whether as a result of the receipt of new information, future events or otherwise.

PVH CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company with a brand portfolio that includes TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, which are owned, and Van Heusen, Nike and other brands, which the Company licenses for certain product categories. The Company designs and markets branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands globally over a broad array of product categories and for use in certain territories. The Company completed the sale of its women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 (the “Heritage Brands intimates transaction”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities.
The Company’s fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week periods ending on the Sunday closest to February 1 and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Reference is made to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024.
The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. Furthermore, the data contained in these consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.
There continues to be uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to inflationary pressures globally, the Israel-Hamas war, the attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea and the war in Ukraine. If economic conditions were to worsen, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations may be materially and adversely impacted.
Israel-Hamas War, Supply Chain Disruptions and War in Ukraine
The Israel-Hamas war, which began in October 2023, did not have a material impact on the Company’s business in 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business in 2024. Less than 1% of the Company’s revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in Israel, and less than 2% of the Company’s revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in the Middle East, including Israel.
Attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea that began in the fourth quarter of 2023 have led to disruption and instability in global supply chains, which have resulted in shipment delays that are impacting, and could continue to impact, the Company’s inventory and sales volume. Shipping delays have also resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased freight costs, for reasons including the need to rely on more expensive shipping routes and shipping methods (such as air freight). Such impacts did not have a material impact on the Company’s business in 2023 or in the first nine months of 2024.
The brief port strike on the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States in October 2024, which was suspended until January 15, 2025, did not have a material impact on the Company’s business in the third quarter of 2024. However, if an agreement is not reached by the end of the suspension period and the strike resumes, it may result in shipping delays and increased freight costs.
The war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, did not have a material impact on the Company’s business in 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business in 2024. Less than 1% of the Company’s revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in Ukraine and the Company exited from its Russia business in the second quarter of 2022.
2. REVENUE
The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of finished products under its owned trademarks through its wholesale and retail operations. The Company also generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing rights to its trademarks to third parties. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.
Performance Obligations Under License Agreements
As of November 3, 2024, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $647.6 million, of which the Company expects to recognize $62.9 million as revenue during the remainder of 2024, $236.8 million in 2025 and $347.9 million thereafter. The Company elected not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected term of one year or less and expected sales-based percentage fees for the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied.
Deferred Revenue
Changes in deferred revenue, which primarily relate to customer loyalty programs, gift cards and license agreements for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended |
(In millions) | 11/3/24 | | 10/29/23 |
Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period | $ | 55.5 | | | $ | 54.3 | |
| | | |
Net additions to deferred revenue during the period | 40.6 | | | 40.4 | |
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period (1) | (49.4) | | | (46.3) | |
| | | |
Deferred revenue balance at end of period | $ | 46.7 | | | $ | 48.4 | |
(1) Represents the amount of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period and does not contemplate revenue recognized from amounts deferred during the period. The amounts include $2.6 million and $4.0 million of revenue recognized during the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
The Company also had long-term deferred revenue liabilities included in other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets of $7.4 million, $9.4 million and $10.0 million as of November 3, 2024, February 4, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
Please see Note 16, “Segment Data,” for information on the disaggregation of revenue by segment and distribution channel.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail inventories in Asia is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends and forecasts, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments that it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at either the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable.
4. DIVESTITURES
Sale of Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. Women’s Intimates Businesses
The Company entered into a definitive agreement on November 10, 2023 to sell its women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources for $160.0 million in cash and completed the sale on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $155.6 million, after transaction costs. The final carrying value of the net assets sold on the closing date was $140.3 million, which consisted of $44.5 million of inventory and $95.8 million of tradenames.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the net carrying value of the assets, less costs to sell. An incremental gain of $10.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources, which is being paid in installments to the Company through the first quarter of 2025. The Company received $5.0 million of the earnout during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024. These gains were recorded in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the respective period and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.
The Company classified the assets subject to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 29, 2023 which were included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and consisted of the following:
| | | | | |

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024, by segment (please see Note 16, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments), were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | Calvin Klein North America | | Calvin Klein International | | Tommy Hilfiger North America | | Tommy Hilfiger International | | | | | Total |

Goodwill, gross | 781.8 | | | 874.6 | | | 203.0 | | | 1,566.0 | | | | | | 3,425.4 | |
Accumulated impairment losses | (449.9) | | | (471.3) | | | (177.2) | | | — | | | | | | (1,098.4) | |
Goodwill, net | $ | 331.9 | | | $ | 403.3 | | | $ | 25.8 | | | $ | 1,566.0 | | | | | | $ | 2,327.0 | |
The Company performed its annual impairment assessment for goodwill, which is done at the reporting unit level, and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2024. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for discussion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets impairment testing process.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for 2024 yielded estimated fair values in excess of the carrying amounts for all of the Company’s reporting units with assigned goodwill and therefore no impairment of goodwill was identified.
The Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $2,874.5 million by approximately 10%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of the date of the test was $1,556.1 million. The fair value of the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was determined using an income approach based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows. The discount rate applied to these cash flows was based on the weighted average cost of capital for the reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at a rate of 13% to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumption for this business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $161 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $281 million. While the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment if the related business does not perform as projected, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.
Additionally, no impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was identified as a result of the Company’s annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2024. The indefinite-lived intangible asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by 19%.
6. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company, as of November 3, 2024, has two noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements. The plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation, subject to the change made in the fourth quarter of 2023 as discussed below, and years of credited service. The plans also provide participants with the option to receive their benefits in the form of lump sum payments. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Pension Plans.”
The Company also has three noncontributory unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans, the most significant of which is a supplemental pension plan for certain employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements that provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon or after employment termination or retirement, according to their distribution election, and two other plans for select former senior management. The Company refers to these three plans as its “SERP Plans.”
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved changes to its Pension Plans and its supplemental pension plan to freeze the pensionable compensation and credited service amounts used to calculate participants’ benefits effective June 30, 2024, except for employees near retirement age that meet a specified service requirement, who will continue to accrue benefits under the Pension Plans and supplemental pension plan, as applicable, for two years after the effective date of the freeze.
The components of net benefit cost recognized were as follows:

| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 0.7 | | | $ | 1.1 | | | $ | 2.4 | | | $ | 3.3 | |
The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States under two plans. Retirees contribute to the cost of the applicable plan, which are unfunded and frozen. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Postretirement Plans.” Net benefit cost related to the Postretirement Plans was immaterial for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023.
The components of net benefit cost are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: (i) the service cost component is recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and (ii) the other components are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income.
Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2024. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other laws, as well as significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.

Total debt repayments for the remainder of 2024 through 2029 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s debt as of November 3, 2024 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.
As of November 3, 2024, approximately 80% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.
2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
On December 9, 2022, the Company entered into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2022 facilities”). The 2022 facilities consist of (a) a €440.6 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility”), (b) a $1,150.0 million United States dollar-denominated multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “multicurrency revolving credit facility”), which is available in (i) United States dollars, (ii) Australian dollars (limited to A$50.0 million), (iii) Canadian dollars (limited to C$70.0 million), or (iv) euros, yen, pounds sterling, Swiss francs or other agreed foreign currencies (limited to €250.0 million), and (c) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars (together with the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the “revolving credit facilities”). The 2022 facilities are due on December 9, 2027.
The Company made payments totaling $9.0 million and $8.9 million on its term loan under the 2022 facilities during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
The current applicable margin with respect to the Euro TLA facility as of November 3, 2024 was 1.250%. The current applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facilities as of November 3, 2024 was 0.125% for loans bearing interest at the base rate, Canadian prime rate or daily simple euro short term rate and 1.125% for loans bearing interest at the euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) or any other rate specified in the 2022 facilities. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and each revolving credit facility is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.
The 2022 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum net leverage ratio, calculated in a manner set forth in the terms of the 2022 facilities. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for further discussion of the 2022 facilities.
7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023
The Company had outstanding $100.0 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrued interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. The Company repaid these debentures at maturity.
3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024
The Company had outstanding €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024.

The Company recorded an immaterial amount of debt extinguishment costs to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs associated with these notes during the first quarter of 2024.
4 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2025
The Company has outstanding $500.0 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 10, 2025. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to June 10, 2025 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after June 10, 2025 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027
The Company has outstanding €600.0 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
4 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2029
The Company issued on April 15, 2024 €525.0 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due July 16, 2029. The Company paid €5.4 million ($5.7 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees in connection with the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes.
The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the offering to finance or refinance new or existing environmental Eligible Projects focused mainly on sustainable materials and packaging and circularity, as defined in the Company’s prospectus relating to the notes offering. Pending allocation to Eligible Projects, the Company utilized the net proceeds of the offering, together with other available funds, to redeem the €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, as discussed above.
The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 16, 2029 by paying a “make whole” premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 16,
2029, or all of these notes at any time in the event of certain developments affecting taxation, at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company’s financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of November 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements.
The Company also has standby letters of credit and bank guarantees primarily to collateralize the Company’s insurance and lease obligations. The Company had $84.9 million of these standby letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding as of November 3, 2024.

8. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 were 21.0% and 22.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 were 13.3% and 22.3%, respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2024 was lower than the prior year period primarily due to a change in the mix of international and domestic earnings.
The effective income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was lower than the prior year period primarily due to (i) a favorable change in the Company’s uncertain tax positions resulting in a benefit to the Company’s 2024 effective income tax rate of 6.5% from the settlement of a multi-year audit in an international jurisdiction in the second quarter of 2024 and (ii) a change in the mix of international and domestic earnings.
9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows associated with inventory purchases made by its foreign subsidiaries in a currency other than their functional currency. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure.
The Company records the foreign currency forward contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The foreign currency forward contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases are designated as effective hedging instruments (“cash flow hedges”). As such, the changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of its investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, the Company uses both non-derivative instruments (the par value of certain of its foreign-denominated debt) and derivative instruments (cross-currency swap contracts), which it designates as net investment hedges.
The Company designated (i) the par value of its €600.0 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027, (ii) until their redemption on April 25, 2024, the par value of its €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024, and (iii) as of April 25, 2024, the par value of its €525.0 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due 2029 (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), that were issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 7, “Debt,” for further discussion of the Company’s foreign currency borrowings.
The Company records the foreign currency borrowings at carrying value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings is remeasured at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the foreign currency exchange spot rate. During the period in which the foreign currency borrowings are designated as net investment hedges, such
remeasurement is recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The fair value and the carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings designated as net investment hedges were $1,222.6 million and $1,211.0 million, respectively, as of November 3, 2024, $1,201.6 million and $1,209.4 million, respectively, as of February 4, 2024 and $1,148.9 million and $1,183.7 million, respectively, as of October 29, 2023. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its non-derivative instrument net investment hedges at inception and each quarter thereafter. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.
In 2023, the Company entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts, which, in aggregate, economically convert the Company’s $500.0 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due 2025 from a United States dollar-denominated obligation to a euro-denominated obligation of €457.2 million. As part of these swap contracts, the Company will receive fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest at a weighted average rate of 1.405% and pay fixed-rate euro-denominated interest at a rate of 0%. The cross-currency swap contracts expire on July 10, 2025. The Company designated these cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. The Company records the cross-currency swap contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts are recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its derivative instrument net investment hedges at inception and each quarter thereafter. The interest components of the cross-currency swaps are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are initially recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. Such amounts are recognized ratably over the term of the cross-currency swap contracts as a credit to interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Undesignated Contracts
The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), which primarily include foreign currency forward contracts related to third party and intercompany transactions, and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying balances.
The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

A net gain in AOCL on foreign currency forward contracts at November 3, 2024 of $10.7 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations to cost of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Amounts recognized in AOCL for the effective portion of the Company’s net investment hedges, including amounts associated with the 3 5/8% senior notes redeemed in April 2024, would be recognized in earnings only upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged net investment.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the foreign currency forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each
contract. The fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts is measured using the discounted cash flows of the contracts, which are determined based on observable inputs, including the foreign currency forward rates and discount rates, as of the period end. The fair value of the rabbi trust assets, which consist of investments in mutual funds, is valued at the net asset value of the funds, as determined by the closing price in the active market in which the individual fund is traded.
The Company established a rabbi trust that holds investments related to the Company’s supplemental savings plan. The rabbi trust is considered a variable interest entity and it is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements because the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust assets generally mirror the investment elections made by eligible plan participants and are included as follows in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 11/3/24 | | 2/4/24 | | 10/29/23 |
(In millions) | Other Current Assets | | Other Assets | | Other Current Assets | | Other Assets | | Other Current Assets | | Other Assets |
Rabbi trust assets | $ | 1.6 | | | $ | 12.9 | | | $ | 0.8 | | | $ | 9.1 | | | $ | 1.4 | | | $ | 7.5 | |
The corresponding deferred compensation liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains (losses) recognized on the rabbi trust investments were immaterial during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023.
There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value. There were no impairments recorded during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023.
The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt were as follows:

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable quarter. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts of long-term debt reflect the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants stock-based awards under its Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Awards that may be granted under the Plan include, but are not limited to (i) service-based non-qualified stock options (“stock options”); (ii) service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”); and (iii) contingently issuable performance share units (“PSUs”). Please see Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for a detailed description of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards, including information relating to vesting terms and service, performance and market conditions, and additional information.
Net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 included $39.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $4.8 million in each year.
Stock Options
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is expensed over the stock options’ requisite service periods.
The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:
| | | | | |
| 11/3/24 |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate | 4.33 | % |
Weighted average expected stock option term (in years) | 6.25 |
Weighted average Company volatility | 53.32 | % |
Expected annual dividends per share | $ | 0.15 |
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option | $ | 60.96 |
| |
Stock option activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands, except per stock option data) | Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option |
Outstanding at February 4, 2024 | 513 | | | $ | 94.05 | |
Granted | 58 | | | 109.75 | |
Exercised | 60 | | | 121.28 | |
Forfeited / Expired | 7 | | | 115.13 | |
Outstanding at November 3, 2024 | 504 | | | $ | 92.31 | |
RSUs
The fair value of RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed over the RSUs’ requisite service periods.
RSU activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands, except per RSU data) | RSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU |
Non-vested at February 4, 2024 | 1,175 | | | $ | 80.79 | |
Granted | 508 | | | 109.33 | |
Vested | 417 | | | 79.97 | |
Forfeited | 150 | | | 87.81 | |
Non-vested at November 3, 2024 | 1,116 | | | $ | 93.14 | |
PSUs
PSU awards granted to employees have a three-year service period. Each award is subject to various performance and/or market conditions goals as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Grant Year | Goal for 50% of the Award | Goal for 50% of the Award |
2021 | Company total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date | Company’s earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) during fiscal 2021 |
2022 | Company TSR relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date | Company’s cumulative EBIT during a fiscal three-year performance period |
2023 | Company TSR relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date | Company’s average return on invested capital (“ROIC”) during a fiscal three-year performance period |
2024 | Company TSR relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date | Company’s average ROIC during a fiscal three-year performance period |
The final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period. For awards granted in 2021, the holders of the awards earned an aggregate of 55,000 shares. The Company achieved performance on the one-year EBIT measure above the maximum performance level. The Company achieved performance on the three-year TSR measure between the threshold and target levels.
The Company records expense ratably over the three-year service period, with expense determined as follows: (i) TSR-based portion of the awards is based on the grant date fair value regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied because the awards are subject to market conditions and (ii) EBIT- and ROIC-based portion of the awards are based on the grant date fair value per share and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued.
The grant date fair value of the awards is established as follows: (i) TSR-based portion of the awards uses a Monte Carlo simulation model and (ii) EBIT- and ROIC-based portion of the awards are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on such common stock during the three-year service period, as these contingently issuable PSUs do not accrue dividends.
The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs subject to market conditions that were granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value:
| | | | | | |
| 11/3/24 | |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate | 4.71 | % | |
Weighted average Company volatility | 48.28 | % | |
Expected annual dividends per share | $ | 0.15 | | |
Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU | $ | 138.12 | | |
For certain of the awards granted, the after-tax portion of the award is subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. For these awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 4.40% for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Finnerty model.
Total PSU activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands, except per PSU data) | PSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU |
Non-vested at February 4, 2024 | 236 | | | $ | 102.29 | |
Granted | 127 | | | 122.76 | |
Reduction due to market conditions achieved below target | 1 | | | 157.70 | |

13. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time beginning in 2015 an aggregate $5.0 billion stock repurchase program through July 30, 2028. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as the Company deems appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend or terminate the program at any time, without prior notice. The Company’s share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, the Company purchased 2.4 million shares and 3.2 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $254.2 million (excluding excise taxes of $2.2 million) and $268.4 million (excluding excise taxes of $2.3 million), respectively. As of November 3, 2024, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $2.019 billion of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases, excluding excise taxes, as the excise taxes do not reduce the authorized amount remaining.
Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs and PSUs to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
14. EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS
Growth Driver 5 Actions
In line with the fifth growth driver of the PVH+ Plan — drive efficiencies and invest in growth — the Company embarked on a multi-year initiative to simplify its operating model by centralizing certain processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization, through four main pillars: (i) delivering a single global technology stack, (ii) redesigning the Company’s global distribution network, (iii) reengineering the operating model in Europe, and (iv) streamlining and optimizing the Company’s support functions globally (referred to as “Growth Driver 5 Actions”).
The Company expects to generate annual cost savings of approximately $200 million to $300 million, net of continued strategic investments by 2026, with the actions to support this initiative largely completed by the end of 2025. In connection with this initiative, the Company recorded pre-tax severance, termination benefits and other employee costs during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 of $12.2 million and $27.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Company sold a warehouse and distribution center during the third quarter of 2024 in connection with this initiative, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $9.5 million that was recorded during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and included in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such amount represents the consideration received, less costs to sell. The warehouse and distribution center assets had no remaining value at the time of the sale. The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs in connection with this initiative, consisting primarily of severance, termination benefits and other employee costs, of approximately $15 million during the remainder of 2024 and additional costs during 2025, however the additional costs cannot be quantified at this time.
The pre-tax severance, termination benefits and other employee costs incurred in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions were recorded in SG&A expenses of the Company’s segments as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

2022 Cost Savings Initiative
The Company announced in August 2022 that it would be taking steps to streamline its organization and simplify its ways of working. Included in this was a planned reduction in people costs in its global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 to drive efficiencies and enable continued strategic investments to fuel growth, including in digital, supply chain and consumer engagement, which was completed. These reductions have resulted in annual cost savings of over $100 million, net of continued strategic people investments. In connection with this initiative, the Company recorded pre-tax severance, termination benefits and other employee costs of $81.5 million during 2022 and 2023, of which $18.8 million and $57.8 million was incurred during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023, respectively. All expected costs related to this initiative were incurred by the end of 2023.

Weighted average potentially dilutive securities | 0.6 | | | 1.1 | | | 0.4 | | | 1.0 | |
Shares underlying contingently issuable awards that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSU awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for each applicable period. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 0.4 million and 0.3
million as of November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.

17. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in September 2022 an update to accounting guidance requiring disclosures that increase the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs, including the key terms of the programs, and information about the obligations under these programs, including a rollforward of those obligations. The update does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of 2023 on a retrospective basis, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which became effective for the Company in 2024 for annual disclosure on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the guidance only pertains to financial statements footnote disclosures. Please see Note 18, “Other Comments,” for the Company’s disclosures pertaining to this update.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of November 3, 2024
The FASB issued in November 2023 an update to accounting guidance requiring disclosure on an annual and interim basis of incremental segment information, primarily to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its 2024 annual consolidated financial statements and interim statements thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to adopt the guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact the adoption will have on its footnote disclosure to its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued in December 2023 an update to accounting guidance which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its 2025 annual consolidated financial statements, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the guidance on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact the adoption will have on its footnote disclosure to its consolidated financial statements.
18. OTHER COMMENTS
Warehouse and Distribution Expenses
The Company records warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, as a component of SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 totaled $84.2 million and $248.5 million, respectively. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023 totaled $88.7 million and $264.2 million, respectively.
Allowance For Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through trade receivables from its customers and licensees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its trade receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. An allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $46.6 million, $41.1 million and $43.9 million as of November 3, 2024, February 4, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company has a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) administered through a third party platform that provides the Company’s inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from the Company to participating financial institutions in advance of the invoice due date, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. The Company’s payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the SCF program.
Accordingly, amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the corresponding payments are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Suppliers had elected to sell $422.9 million, $423.4 million and $348.3 million of the Company’s payment obligations that were outstanding as of November 3, 2024, February 4, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively, to financial institutions and $1,330.8 million and $1,481.8 million had been settled through the program during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts on behalf of certain parties. There have been no significant changes to the amounts guaranteed by the Company from those discussed in Note 21, “Guarantees,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
| | |
We aggregate our reportable segments into three main businesses: (i) Tommy Hilfiger, which consists of the businesses we operate under our TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks; (ii) Calvin Klein, which consists of the businesses we operate under our Calvin Klein trademarks; and (iii) Heritage Brands, which consists of the businesses we operate under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks, which we owned until November 27, 2023, the Van Heusen and Nike trademarks, which we license for certain product categories, and other licensed trademarks. References to brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name. |
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.
We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 140 years. We have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange for over 100 years.
Our revenue was $9.2 billion in 2023, of which over 70% was generated outside of the United States. Our global iconic lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, together generated over 90% of our revenue.
In addition to the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands, which are owned, we also license the Van Heusen, Nike and other brands for certain product categories.
PVH+ Plan
At our April 2022 Investor Day, we introduced the PVH+ Plan, our multi-year, strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and make PVH one of the highest performing brand groups in our sector. Please refer to Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 under the heading “Our Business Strategy” for a description of the plan.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the Provisions on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL Provisions”). In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM. We do not know when MOFCOM will conclude its investigation or announce its findings (if any), nor do we know if or how we would be penalized. Approximately 6% of our revenue and approximately 16% of our income before interest and taxes was generated in China in 2023. Furthermore, if, as a result of any such penalties, it is necessary for us to cease operations in China entirely, it may result in charges related to excess inventory and difficulty collecting trade receivables, among other things. We may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Please see Risk Factors included in Part II, Item 1A. of this report for additional information.
Inflationary pressures
Inflationary pressures negatively impacted our revenue and earnings in 2023 and have continued through the first nine months of 2024, although to a lesser extent than in 2023. These include (i) increased product costs for the first half of 2023, (ii) increased labor costs and (iii) a slowdown in consumer demand for apparel and related products, as consumers have reduced discretionary spending and certain wholesale customers have taken a more cautious approach, particularly in North America beginning in the first half of 2023 and in Europe beginning in the second half of 2023. We do not expect inflationary pressures to have a negative impact on our revenue and earnings for the remainder of 2024.
Israel-Hamas War, Supply Chain Disruptions and War in Ukraine
The Israel-Hamas war, which began in October 2023, did not have a material impact on our business in 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on our business in 2024. Less than 1% of our revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in Israel, and less than 2% of our revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in the Middle East, including Israel.
Attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea that began in the fourth quarter of 2023 have led to disruption and instability in global supply chains, which have resulted in shipment delays that are impacting, and could continue to impact, our inventory and sales volume. Shipping delays have also resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased freight costs, for reasons including the need to rely on more expensive shipping routes and shipping methods (such as air freight). Such impacts did not have a material impact on our business in 2023 or in the first nine months of 2024.
The brief port strike on the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States in October 2024, which was suspended until January 15, 2025, did not have a material impact on our business in the third quarter of 2024. However, if an agreement is not reached by the end of the suspension period and the strike resumes, it may result in shipping delays and increased freight costs.
The war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, did not have a material impact on our business in 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on our business in 2024. Less than 1% of our revenue in 2024 is expected to be generated in Ukraine and we exited from our Russia business in the second quarter of 2022.
Outlook Uncertainty
There continues to be uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to the above-mentioned items. Our 2024 outlook assumes no material worsening of current conditions. Our revenue and earnings for the remainder of 2024 may be subject to significant change as a result of these and other factors.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,400 Company-operated free-standing store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, (b) approximately 1,500 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide, under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks. Additionally, we generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. We manage our operations through our operating divisions, which are presented as the following reportable segments: (i) Tommy Hilfiger North America; (ii) Tommy Hilfiger International; (iii) Calvin Klein North America; (iv) Calvin Klein International; and (v) Heritage Brands Wholesale.
The following actions, transactions and events have impacted our results of operations and the comparability among the periods, including our full year 2024 expectations as compared to the full year 2023, as discussed below:
•We amended in September 2024 Mr. Tommy Hilfiger’s employment agreement, pursuant to which we made a cash buyout of a portion of the future payment obligation (the “Mr. Hilfiger amendment”). We recorded pre-tax costs of $51 million during the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment.
•We embarked on a multi-year initiative beginning in the second quarter of 2024 to simplify our operating model by centralizing certain processes, and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization (the “Growth Driver 5 Actions”). The initiative is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $200 million to $300 million, net of continued strategic investments by 2026, with the actions to support it largely completed by the end of 2025. We recorded pre-tax costs of $18 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 in connection with this initiative, including (i) $28 million of costs consisting principally of severance, and (ii) a $10 million gain on the sale of a warehouse and distribution center. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, consisting principally of severance. We expect to incur additional costs in 2025, however the additional costs cannot be quantified at this time. Please see Note 14, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
•We completed the sale of our women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks, including net assets with a carrying value of $140 million, to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 (the “Heritage Brands intimates transaction”) for net proceeds of $156 million. We utilized the net proceeds from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction to repurchase shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of 2023. We recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the closing of the transaction, consisting of (i) a gain of $15 million, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the carrying value of the net assets, less costs to sell, partially offset by (ii) $2 million of pre-tax severance and other termination benefits associated with the transaction. We recorded an incremental gain of $10 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
•We announced in August 2022 plans to reduce people costs in our global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 to drive efficiencies and enable continued strategic investments to fuel growth, including in digital, supply chain and consumer engagement (the “2022 cost savings initiative”), which has resulted in annual cost savings of over $100 million, net of continued strategic people investments. We recorded pre-tax costs of $20 million during 2022, consisting principally of severance related to initial actions taken under the plans. We recorded pre-tax costs of $61 million during 2023, consisting principally of severance related to additional actions taken under the plans in July and September 2023. All costs related to these actions were incurred by the end of 2023. Please see Note 14, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
We extended in 2022 most of our licensing agreements with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. for Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER in the United States and Canada, largely pertaining to the women’s apparel product categories sold at wholesale in North America. These agreements now have staggered expirations through 2027, the first of which occurred at the end of calendar 2023. Upon expiration, we intend to bring most of the licensed product categories in-house and directly operate these businesses. The expiration of these licenses and the transition of previously licensed product categories in-house is not expected to have a material impact on our revenue and net income in 2024.
Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our results of operations are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 70% of our 2023 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation. We currently expect that the translational impact of foreign currency on our 2024 revenue and net income as compared to 2023 will be immaterial.
There also is a transactional impact of foreign exchange because our foreign subsidiaries purchase inventory in a currency other than their functional currency. We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transactional impact. We enter into these contracts up to 18 months in advance for a portion of the projected inventory purchases and may enter into incremental contracts leading up to the time the inventory purchases occur. Therefore, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts may be realized in our results of operations generally up to 18 months following the inception of these hedges, as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. We currently expect that the transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2024 net income as compared to 2023 will be immaterial.
We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that are held in the United States. The strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the par value of these senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. In addition, we entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts in 2023, which, in aggregate, economically convert our $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due 2025 from a United States dollar-denominated obligation to a euro-denominated obligation of €457.2 million. We also designated these cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings and cross-currency swaps at the
end of each period is recorded in equity. Please see Note 9, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
SEASONALITY
Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter tends to have the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. We expect this seasonal pattern will generally continue. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends.
Due to the above seasonal factors, our results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
Thirteen Weeks Ended November 3, 2024 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended October 29, 2023
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.255 billion compared to $2.363 billion in the third quarter of the prior year. The overall decrease in revenue of $108 million, or 5%, included (i) a 2% decline related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and (ii) a 1% positive impact of foreign currency translation, with the following revenue changes in our segments:
•The net reduction of an aggregate $9 million of revenue, or a 1% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a positive impact of $20 million, or 2%, related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue was flat (including a 2% positive foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 3%.
•The net reduction of an aggregate $28 million of revenue, or a 3% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a positive impact of $11 million, or 1%, related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 1% (including a 2% positive foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 9% as the prior year period benefited from a shift in the timing of wholesale shipments from the fourth quarter into the third quarter.
•The reduction of $71 million of revenue, or a 54% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, which included a 44% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction.
Our revenue through our direct-to-consumer distribution channel in the third quarter of 2024 was flat compared to the prior year period, including a 1% positive foreign currency impact. Revenue in our owned and operated stores increased 1% compared to the prior year period, including a 1% positive foreign currency impact. Sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses decreased 1%, including a 2% positive foreign currency impact, primarily due to the continuation of our planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region. Our revenue through our wholesale distribution channel decreased 8% in the third quarter of 2024, including a 1% positive foreign currency impact, primarily due to (i) a 4% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, (ii) the continued planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region and (iii) the impact of the timing of wholesale shipments in North America discussed above.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, such as inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection costs. Also included as cost of goods sold are the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue from licensing the use of our trademarks is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.317 billion, or 58.4% of total revenue, compared to $1.339 billion, or 56.7% of total revenue, in the third quarter of the prior year. The 170 basis point increase was driven by (i) lower product costs as compared to the prior year period, (ii) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of total revenue and carries higher gross margins, (iii) a reduction in sales to lower margin wholesale accounts, primarily in Europe and (iv) the impact of the reduction in revenue as a result of the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, as the revenue from the Heritage Brands intimates business carried lower gross margins.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were $1.154 billion, or 51.2% of total revenue, compared to $1.124 billion, or 47.6% of total revenue, in the third quarter of the prior year. The 360 basis point increase was primarily driven by (i) costs incurred in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, (ii) the impact of the change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of total revenue and carries higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, (iii) the impact from the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decline in revenue in the third quarter of 2024 and (iv) costs incurred in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of (i) the 2022 costs savings initiative and (ii) cost efficiencies across the business as we take a disciplined approach to managing expenses.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income
Non-service related pension and postretirement income in the third quarter of 2024 was approximately $400,000 as compared to approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of the prior year. Please see Note 6, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Other Gain
We recorded a gain of $10 million related to the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. Please see Note 14, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was $11 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $14 million in the third quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from (i) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands, and certain licensed and formerly PVH-owned trademarks in Mexico, (ii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands in India, (iii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in Brazil and (iv) our PVH Legwear LLC joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands and certain licensed and formerly PVH-owned trademarks in the United States and Canada. Our investments in the joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased to $16 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $22 million in the third quarter of the prior year primarily due to (i) an increase in interest income resulting from higher levels of invested cash and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year period and (ii) the impact of the repayment of the $100 million 7 3/4% debentures in November 2023.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 21.0% compared to 22.2% in the third quarter of the prior year. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a change in the mix of international and domestic earnings.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 3, 2024 Compared With Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2023
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was $6.281 billion compared to $6.728 billion in the thirty-nine week period of the prior year. The impact of foreign currency translation on our revenue in the thirty-nine week period was not significant. The overall decrease in revenue of $447 million, or 7%, included a 3% decline related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction with the following revenue changes in our segments:
•The net reduction of an aggregate $166 million of revenue, or a 5% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue decreased 7% driven by a revenue decline in Europe, including our planned strategic reduction to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, which weighed more heavily on Tommy Hilfiger revenue given the size of the business in Europe. Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment was flat. The impact of foreign currency translation on our Tommy Hilfiger segments’ revenue in the period was not significant.
•The reduction of an aggregate $39 million of revenue, or a 1% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of $13 million, or 1%, related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue decreased 1% (including a 1% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 2%.
•The reduction of $242 million of revenue, or a 60% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, which includes a 48% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction.
Our revenue through our direct-to-consumer distribution channel in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 decreased 1%, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact. Revenue in our owned and operated stores was flat compared to the prior year period, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact. Sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses decreased 5%, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact, primarily due to our planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region. Our revenue through our wholesale distribution channel decreased 11%, primarily due to (i) a 6% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and (ii) the planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region.
We currently expect revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 to decrease approximately 6% to 7%, inclusive of the negative impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation, primarily due to (i) an expected revenue decline in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment driven by the planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, (ii) a 1% decline related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and (iii) a 3% decline related to the 53rd week in 2023. We currently expect revenue for the full year 2024 to decrease approximately 6% to 7% primarily due to (i) an expected revenue decline in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment driven by the planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, (ii) a 2% decline related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and (iii) a 1% decline related to the 53rd week in 2023. The impact of foreign currency translation on our revenue for full year 2024 is not expected to be significant.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was $3.761 billion, or 59.9% of total revenue, compared to $3.862 billion, or 57.4% of total revenue, in the thirty-nine week period of the prior year. The 250 basis point increase was primarily driven by (i) lower product costs compared to the prior year period, (ii) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of total revenue and carries higher gross margins, (iii) a reduction in sales to lower margin wholesale accounts, primarily in Europe and (iv) the impact of the reduction in revenue as a result of the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, as the revenue from the Heritage Brands intimates business carried lower gross margins.
We currently expect that gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 will decrease by approximately 200 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to (i) the impact of the shift in timing of lower margin wholesale sales in North America within the second half of the year, which are more heavily weighted towards the fourth quarter this year as compared to the prior year, (ii) a moderate increase in promotional selling as compared to the prior year period due to continued softness
in the consumer backdrop in the United States and China, and (iii) an increase in freight costs as compared to the prior year period due to recent disruptions in a couple of our key sourcing locations as well as Red Sea surcharges.
We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2024 will increase by approximately 120 basis points compared to 2023. Our expectation for full year 2024 includes increases primarily as a result of (i) lower product costs as compared to 2023, which benefited us more significantly in the first half of the year, (ii) the change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel as compared to 2023, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel is expected to be a larger proportion of total revenue in 2024 and carries higher gross margins and (iii) the above-mentioned reduction in revenue as a result of the Heritage Brands intimates transaction. These increases are expected to be partially offset by increased promotional selling in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to continued softness in the consumer backdrop in the United States and China.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 were $3.255 billion, or 51.8% of total revenue, compared to $3.326 billion, or 49.4% of total revenue, in the thirty-nine week period of the prior year. The 240 basis point increase was primarily driven by (i) the impact of the change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of total revenue and carries higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, (ii) the impact from the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decline in revenue in the first nine months of 2024, (iii) costs incurred in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment and (iv) costs incurred in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of (i) the 2022 costs savings initiative and (ii) cost efficiencies across the business as we take a disciplined approach to managing expenses.
We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 will be relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2024 will increase approximately 170 basis point as compared to 2023. Our expectation for full year 2024 includes an increase primarily as a result of (i) the above-mentioned change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel as compared to 2023, (ii) the impact from the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the expected decline in revenue in 2024, (iii) costs incurred in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment and (iv) costs incurred in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. These increases are expected to be partially offset by (i) the favorable impact of the 2022 cost savings initiative and (ii) cost efficiencies across the business as we continue to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income
Non-service related pension and postretirement income was $1 million in each of the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023.
Non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our results of operations. We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2024 will be immaterial. However, our expectation of 2024 non-service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. As a result of the recent volatility in the financial markets, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the actuarial gain or loss we may record on our retirement plans in 2024. We may record a significant actuarial gain or loss in 2024 if there is a significant increase or decrease in discount rates, respectively, or if there is a difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets. As such, our actual 2024 non-service related pension and postretirement income may be significantly different than our projections.
Other Gain
We recorded a gain of $10 million related to the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. Please see Note 14, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
We recorded a gain of $10 million in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was $35 million in each of the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from our unconsolidated affiliates as described in the thirteen weeks discussion above. Our investments in the joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
We currently expect that our equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for the fourth quarter and the full year 2024 will be relatively flat as compared to fourth quarter and full year 2023.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased to $53 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 from $68 million in the thirty-nine week period of the prior year, primarily due to (i) an increase in interest income resulting from higher levels of invested cash and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year period and (ii) the impact of the repayment of the $100 million 7 3/4% debentures in November 2023.
Interest expense, net for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 are currently expected to be approximately $15 million and approximately $68 million, respectively, a decrease compared to $20 million and $88 million, respectively, in 2023, primarily due to (i) an increase in interest income resulting from higher levels of invested cash and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year period and (ii) the impact of the repayment of the $100 million 7 3/4% debentures in November 2023.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 was 13.3% compared to 22.3% in the thirty-nine week period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to (i) a favorable change in our uncertain tax positions resulting in a benefit to our effective tax rate of 6.5% from the settlement of a multi-year audit in an international jurisdiction in the second quarter of 2024 and (ii) a change in the mix of international and domestic earnings.
We currently expect that our effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 will be approximately 20% and 15%, respectively.
We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. Our tax rate is affected by many factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, discrete events arising from specific transactions and new regulations, as well as audits by tax authorities and the receipt of new information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Summary and Trends
Cash and cash equivalents at November 3, 2024 was $560 million, a decrease of $148 million from $708 million at February 4, 2024. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) $256 million of completed common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program, (ii) $553 million of net proceeds from the issuance of €525 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due 2029 and (iii) the $562 million redemption of €525 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024. We ended the third quarter of 2024 with approximately $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities. The seasonality of our business results in significant fluctuations in our cash balance between fiscal year end and subsequent interim periods due, in part, to the timing of inventory purchases and peak sales periods.
Cash flow for the full year 2024 will be impacted by various factors, including, as discussed further below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, (i) mandatory long-term debt repayments on our term loan under our 2022 senior unsecured credit facilities of approximately $12 million, subject to exchange rate fluctuations, (ii) expected common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program of approximately $400 million and (iii) expected capital expenditures of approximately $200 million.
As of November 3, 2024, $227 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of our historical earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States in jurisdictions in which we would expect to incur material tax costs upon distribution of such amounts. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.
Operations
Cash provided by operating activities was $254 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 compared to $312 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by changes in our working capital, including changes in inventories net of the related change in payables, primarily as a result of (a) an increase in inventories in the current year period due to early receipts of inventory in the current quarter and (b) a reduction in inventories in the prior year period from the elevated levels of inventory we experienced in the second half of 2022.
Supply Chain Finance Program
We have a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) administered through a third party platform that provides our inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions in advance of the invoice due date, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. Our payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the SCF program. Please see Note 18, “Other Comments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our SCF program.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We received dividends of $42 million and $30 million from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively. These dividends are included in our net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective period.
Heritage Brands Intimates Transaction
We completed the sale of our women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $156 million, which we received in the fourth quarter of 2023. Due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources that occurred during the first quarter of 2024, we are receiving additional proceeds of $10 million, which is being paid to us in installments through the first quarter of 2025. We received $5 million of the earnout during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Sale of Warehouse and Distribution Center
We completed the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the third quarter of 2024 for net proceeds of $10 million in connection with our multi-year initiative to simplify our operating model by centralizing certain processes, and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization. Please see Note 14, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 were $115 million compared to $163 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2024 will be approximately $200 million as compared to $245 million in 2023 and will primarily consist of (i) investments in (a) new stores and store renovations and (b) our information technology infrastructure worldwide, including information security, (ii) upgrades and enhancements to platforms and systems worldwide, including our digital commerce platforms, and (iii) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network in Europe and North America.
Dividends
Cash dividends paid on our common stock totaled $6 million and $7 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
Additionally, we declared a $0.0375 per share dividend on our common stock in the third quarter of 2024 to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2024. We currently project that cash dividends paid on our common stock in 2024 will be approximately $9 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of November 3, 2024, our estimate of stock to be issued during 2024 under our stock incentive plan and our estimate of stock repurchases for the remainder of 2024.
Acquisition of Treasury Shares
The Board of Directors has authorized over time beginning in 2015 an aggregate $5 billion stock repurchase program through July 30, 2028. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. Our share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023, we purchased 2.4 million shares and 3.2 million shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $254 million (excluding excise taxes of $2 million) and $268 million (excluding excise taxes of $2 million), respectively. Purchases of $0.4 million were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 3, 2024. Purchases of $2 million that were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2024 were paid in the first quarter of 2024. As of November 3, 2024, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $2.019 billion of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases, excluding excise taxes, as the excise taxes do not reduce the authorized amount remaining.
We currently expect common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of approximately $400 million for the full year 2024.
Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld principally in conjunction with the settlement of restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
Financing Arrangements
Our capital structure was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | 11/3/24 | | 2/4/24 | | 10/29/23 |
Short-term borrowings | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 18 | |
| | | | | |
Current portion of long-term debt | 511 | | | 578 | | | 665 | |
Finance lease obligations | 7 | | | 10 | | | 10 | |
Long-term debt | 1,654 | | | 1,592 | | | 1,571 | |
Stockholders’ equity | 5,288 | | | 5,119 | | | 5,054 | |
In addition, we had $560 million, $708 million and $358 million of cash and cash equivalents as of November 3, 2024, February 4, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively.
Short-Term Borrowings
We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” We had no revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of November 3, 2024.
Additionally, we have the ability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $202 million based on
exchange rates in effect on November 3, 2024 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of November 3, 2024.
Commercial Paper
We have the ability to issue unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. We had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of November 3, 2024.
Finance Lease Obligations
Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $3 million in each of the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023.
2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
On December 9, 2022, we entered into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2022 facilities”). The 2022 facilities consist of (a) a €441 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility”), (b) a $1.150 billion United States dollar-denominated multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “multicurrency revolving credit facility”), which is available in (i) United States dollars, (ii) Australian dollars (limited to A$50 million), (iii) Canadian dollars (limited to C$70 million), or (iv) euros, yen, pounds sterling, Swiss francs or other agreed foreign currencies (limited to €250 million), and (c) a $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars (together with the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the “revolving credit facilities”). The 2022 facilities are due on December 9, 2027.
We made payments totaling $9 million on our term loan under the 2022 facilities in each of the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024 and October 29, 2023. We currently expect to make total long-term debt repayments of approximately $12 million, subject to exchange rate fluctuations, for the full year 2024.
3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024
We had outstanding €525 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. We redeemed these notes on April 25, 2024 utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the €525 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due July 16, 2029 together with other available funds, as discussed below.
4 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2029
We issued on April 15, 2024 €525 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due July 16, 2029. We paid €5.4 million ($5.7 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees in connection with the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes.
We intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the offering to finance or refinance new or existing environmental Eligible Projects focused mainly on sustainable materials and packaging and circularity, as defined in the prospectus relating to the notes offering. Pending allocation to Eligible Projects, we utilized the net proceeds of the offering, together with other available funds, to redeem the €525 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, as discussed above.
We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 16, 2029 by paying a “make whole” premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 16, 2029, or all of these notes at any time in the event of certain developments affecting taxation, at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Our financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of November 3, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.
As of November 3, 2024, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a positive outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a positive outlook, and our commercial paper was rated A-3 by Standard & Poor’s and P-3 by Moody’s. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s considered, among other things, our capital structure and financial policies, our consolidated balance sheet, our historical acquisition activity and other financial information, as well as industry and other qualitative factors.
Please see Note 7, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a schedule of mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2024 through 2029.
Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for further discussion of our debt.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Financial instruments held by us as of November 3, 2024 primarily include cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts. Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of November 3, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at November 3, 2024, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $0.6 million annually. Borrowings under our senior unsecured term loan facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, our senior unsecured term loan facility exposes us to market risk for changes in interest rates. As of November 3, 2024, approximately 80% of our long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remaining (euro-denominated) balance at a variable interest rate. Interest on the euro-denominated debt is subject to change based on fluctuations in the one-month EURIBOR. The effect of a 10 basis point change in the current one-month EURIBOR on our variable interest expense would be approximately $0.5 million annually. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section included in Part I, Item 2 of this report for further discussion of our credit facilities.
Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Over 70% of our $9.2 billion of revenue in 2023 was generated outside of the United States. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways: a translational impact and a transactional impact.
The translational impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our results of operations and financial position. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are generally the applicable local currencies. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period and the assets and liabilities in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences that arise from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into United States dollars are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive (loss) income. Accordingly, our results of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies.
We currently expect that the translational impact of foreign currency on our 2024 revenue and net income as compared to 2023 will be immaterial.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2024, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $25 million within other comprehensive (loss) income principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real of 15% since February 4, 2024. Our foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income are significantly impacted by the substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets denominated in the euro, which represented 40% of our $5.4 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of November 3, 2024. This translational impact was partially mitigated by the change in the fair value of our net investment hedges discussed below.
There is also a transactional impact of foreign exchange because our foreign subsidiaries purchase inventory in a currency other than their functional currency. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency rates related to certain intercompany transactions and SG&A expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts pertaining to these inventory transactions up to 18 months in advance for a portion of the projected purchases and may enter into incremental contracts leading up to the time the inventory purchases occur.
We currently expect that the transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2024 net income as compared to 2023 will be immaterial.
Given our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at November 3, 2024, the effect of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of approximately $115 million. Any change in the fair value of these contracts would be substantially offset by a change in the fair value of the underlying hedged items.
In order to mitigate a portion of our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of our investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in the euro, we use both non-derivative instruments (the par value of certain of our foreign-denominated debt) and derivative instruments (cross-currency swap contracts), which we designate as net investment hedges. We designated the par value of our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. In addition, we entered into multiple receive fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest and pay fixed-rate euro-denominated interest cross-currency swap contracts in 2023, which we also designated as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 9, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
The effect of a 10% change in the euro against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of the net investment hedges of approximately $170 million. Any change in the fair value of the net investment hedges would be more than offset by a change in the value of our investments in certain of our European subsidiaries. Additionally, during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on our euro-denominated senior notes and to settle our cross-currency swap contracts, whereas during times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on these notes and to settle our cross-currency swap contracts.
Included in the calculations of expense and liabilities for our pension plans are various assumptions, including return on assets, discount rates, mortality rates and future compensation increases. Actual results could differ from these assumptions, which would require adjustments to our balance sheet and could result in volatility in our future pension expense. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 1% change in the assumed rate of return on assets would result in a change to 2024 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $5 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2024 net benefit cost of approximately $17 million.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently undertaking a major multi-year SAP S/4 implementation to upgrade our platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over multiple years. During the period from 2020 to 2023, we successfully launched the Global Finance functionality on the SAP S/4 platform in Asia and North America and the commercial functionality on the SAP S/4 platform for certain businesses in North America and Asia.
As a result of this multi-year implementation, we have made certain changes to our processes and procedures, including as a result of the functionality launched to date, which have resulted in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. However, these changes were not material. We expect to continue to make changes as we launch the commercial functionality for additional businesses in future periods. While we expect this implementation to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal control over financial reporting for material changes as processes and procedures in the affected areas evolve. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems and hardware, please see our Information Technology risk factor “We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the UEL Provisions upon the suspicion that we (i) suspended normal transactions with Chinese entities or individuals, (ii) adopted discriminatory measures against products produced in or made from raw materials or component parts from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and (iii) violated normal market trading principles. In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM. We do not know when MOFCOM will conclude its investigation or announce its findings (if any), nor do we know if or how we would be penalized. According to the UEL Provisions, potential penalties if we are placed on the UEL could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of our relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of our relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No penalties have been imposed on us at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include our inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, our inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or our inability to make investments in China. Please see Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
Other Matters
We are a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment based, in part, on the opinion of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 4, 2024 for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject. There have been no material changes to these risk factors as of November 3, 2024 except as described below.
China’s Ministry of Commerce has announced an investigation into our business, which could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations.
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the UEL Provisions. In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM. We do not know when MOFCOM will conclude its investigation or announce its findings (if any), nor do we know if or how we would be penalized. According to the UEL Provisions, potential penalties if we are placed on the UEL could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of our relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of our relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No penalties have been imposed on us at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include our inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, our inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or our inability to make investments in China.
We cannot currently predict the duration or outcome of the investigation or any actions that may ultimately be taken by MOFCOM. The investigation, and any future decision to place us on the UEL or to take action to impose and enforce penalties or restrictions against us, could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, if, as a result of any such penalties or restrictions, it is necessary for us to cease operations in China entirely, it may result in charges related to excess inventory and difficulty collecting trade receivables, among other things. We may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Additionally, if the production of our products in China ceases, our business could be impacted more broadly and we may need or decide to shift production to other jurisdictions. Please see the risk factors entitled “We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations.” and “We depend on third parties to manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our business.” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for additional information.

(1) The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time beginning in 2015 an aggregate $5.0 billion stock repurchase program, which includes a $2.0 billion increase in the authorization and an extension through July 30, 2028 approved on March 27, 2024. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. Excise taxes do not reduce the authorized amount remaining under this program.
(2) Our Stock Incentive Plan provides us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirements by tendering previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
(3) Average price paid per share (or unit) excludes excise taxes.
