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) we may be considered to be highly leveraged 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; (iii) the levels of sales of our apparel, footwear and related products, both to our wholesale customers and in our retail stores, 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, fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, repositionings of brands by our licensors, and other factors; (iv) our ability to manage our growth and inventory, including our ability to realize benefits from acquisitions; (v) quota restrictions, the imposition of safeguard controls and the imposition of duties or tariffs on goods from the countries where we or our licensees produce goods under our trademarks, such as the recently imposed increased tariffs, the increased tariffs scheduled to come into effect in December 2019 and the potential for additional increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States from China, 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 that we absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability; (vi) the availability and cost of raw materials; (vii) 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); (viii) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability in any of the countries where our or our licensees’ or other business partners’ products are sold, produced or are planned to be sold or produced; (ix) disease epidemics and health related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas, as well as reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers become ill or limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure; (x) acquisitions and divestitures and issues arising with acquisitions, divestitures and proposed transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to integrate an acquired entity or business into us with no substantial adverse effect on the acquired entity’s, the acquired business’s or our existing operations, employee relationships, vendor relationships, customer relationships or financial performance, and the ability to operate effectively and profitably our continuing businesses after the sale or other disposal of a subsidiary, business or the assets thereof; (xi) the failure of our licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of our brands, or their misuse of our brands; (xii) significant fluctuations of the United States dollar against foreign currencies in which we transact significant levels of business; (xiii) 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; (xiv) the impact of new and revised tax legislation and regulations; and (xv) 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 consisting of nationally and internationally recognized trademarks, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene, which are owned, and Speedo, which is licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean, as well as various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands globally over a broad array of product categories and for use in numerous discrete jurisdictions. References to the aforementioned and other brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by the Company or licensed to the Company by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.

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 Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion. The Company and Arvind Limited (“Arvind”) have a joint venture in Ethiopia, PVH Arvind Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”), in which the Company owns a 75% interest. PVH Ethiopia is consolidated and the minority shareholder’s proportionate share (25%) of the equity in this joint venture is accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest. Please see Note 5, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” for further discussion.

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 for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 3, 2019.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. 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 (which were normal and recurring in nature) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

2. REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of finished products under its owned and licensed trademarks through its wholesale and retail operations. The Company also generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing the 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.

Product Sales

The Company generates revenue from the wholesale distribution of its products to traditional retailers (including for sale through their digital commerce sites), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon receipt of goods by the customer. Payment is typically due within 30 to 90 days. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns,

sales allowances and other discounts that the Company offers to its wholesale customers. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience and specific customer arrangements and estimates sales allowances and other discounts based on seasonal negotiations, historical experience and an evaluation of current market conditions.

The Company also generates revenue from the retail distribution of its products through its freestanding stores, shop-in-shop/concession locations and digital commerce sites. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale in the stores and shop-in-shop/concession locations and upon estimated time of delivery for sales through the Company’s digital commerce sites, at which point control of the products passes to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience.

The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities related to sales of the Company’s products. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to customers are included in net sales.

Customer Loyalty Programs

The Company uses loyalty programs that offer customers of its retail businesses specified amounts off of future purchases for a specified period of time after certain levels of spending are achieved. Customers that are enrolled in the programs earn loyalty points for each purchase made.

Loyalty points earned under the customer loyalty programs provide the customer a material right to acquire additional products and give rise to the Company having a separate performance obligation. For each transaction where a customer earns loyalty points, the Company allocates revenue between the products purchased and the loyalty points earned based on the relative standalone selling prices. Revenue allocated to loyalty points is recorded as deferred revenue until the loyalty points are redeemed or expire.

Gift Cards

The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores. Gift card purchases by a customer are prepayments for products to be provided by the Company in the future and are therefore considered to be performance obligations of the Company. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, the Company records deferred revenue for the cash value of the gift card. Deferred revenue is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer. The portion of gift cards that the Company does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as “breakage”) is recognized proportionately over the estimated customer redemption period, subject to the constraint that it must be probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur, if the Company determines that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction.

License Agreements

The Company generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing the rights to access its trademarks to third parties, including the Company’s joint ventures. The license agreements are generally exclusive to a territory or product category, have terms in excess of one year and, in most cases, include renewal options. In exchange for providing these rights, the license agreements require the licensees to pay the Company a royalty and, in certain agreements, an advertising fee. In both cases, the Company generally receives the greater of (i) a sales-based percentage fee and (ii) a contractual minimum fee for each annual performance period under the license agreement.

In addition to the rights to access its trademarks, the Company provides ongoing support to its licensees over the term of the agreements. As such, the Company’s license agreements are licenses of symbolic intellectual property and, therefore, revenue is recognized over time. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee exceeds the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes revenues as the licensed products are sold as reported to the Company by its licensees. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee does not exceed the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes the contractual minimum fee as revenue ratably over the contractual period.

Under the terms of the license agreements, payments are generally due quarterly from the licensees. The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are received or receivable from the licensee in advance of the recognition of revenue.

As of August 4, 2019, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $1.2 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize $129.5 million as revenue during the remainder of 2019, $235.4 million in 2020 and $792.9 million thereafter.

Deferred Revenue

Changes in deferred revenue related to customer loyalty programs, gift cards and license agreements for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 were as follows:

(In millions)	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	8/4/19				8/5/18
Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period	$	65.3			$	39.2
Impact of adopting the new revenue standard	—				15.6
Net additions to deferred revenue during the period	63.4				54.2
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period (1)	(59.8		)		(48.0		)
Deferred revenue balance at end of period	$	68.9			$	61.0

⁽¹⁾ Represents the amount of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as adjusted in 2018 for the impact of adopting the new revenue standard, and does not contemplate revenue recognized from amounts deferred during the period. These amounts include $8.4 million and $8.5 million of revenue recognized during the thirteen weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively.

The Company also had long-term deferred revenue liabilities included in other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets of $1.9 million, $2.3 million and $2.8 million as of August 4, 2019, February 3, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively.

Optional Exemptions

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.

Please see Note 20, “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 substantially 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, 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. ACQUISITIONS

TH CSAP Acquisition

The Company acquired on July 1, 2019 the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia from the Company’s previous licensee in these markets (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). As a result of the TH CSAP acquisition, the Company now operates directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in these markets.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid was $74.2 million. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired consisted of $63.5 million of goodwill and $10.7 million of other assets. The goodwill of $63.5 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International segment, which is the Company’s reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired; thus, the allocation of the acquisition consideration is subject to change.

Australia Acquisition

The Company acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% ownership interests in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). Prior to the Australia acquisition, the Company and Gazal jointly owned and managed a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), with each owning a 50% interest.

---

PVH Australia licensed and operated businesses under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other licensed and owned brands. PVH Australia came under the Company’s full control as a result of the acquisition. The Company now operates directly the Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Van Heusen businesses in this region.

Prior to May 31, 2019, the Company accounted for its approximately 22% interest in Gazal and its 50% interest in PVH Australia under the equity method of accounting. Following the completion of the Australia acquisition, the results of Gazal and PVH Australia have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Gain on Previously Held Equity Investments

The carrying values of the Company’s approximately 22% interest in Gazal and 50% interest in PVH Australia prior to the acquisition were $16.5 million and $41.9 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, these investments were remeasured to fair values of $40.1 million and $131.4 million, respectively, resulting in the recognition of an aggregate noncash gain of $113.1 million during the second quarter of 2019, which was included in other noncash gain in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

The fair value of the Company’s investment in Gazal was determined using the trading price of Gazal’s common stock, which was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, on the date of the acquisition. The Company classified this as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an unadjusted quoted price in an active market. The fair value of Gazal included the fair value of Gazal’s 50% interest in PVH Australia. As such, the Company derived the fair value of its investment in PVH Australia from the fair value of Gazal by adjusting for (i) Gazal’s non-operating assets and net debt position and (ii) the estimated future operating cash flows of Gazal’s standalone operations, which were discounted at a rate of 12.5% to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key members of Gazal and PVH Australia management exchanged a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares in the previously wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. The Company is obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches as follows: tranche 1- 50% of the shares one year after the closing, but up to half of this tranche may be deferred at the holders’ option to tranche 2; and tranche 2- all remaining shares two years after the closing. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares is based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) less net debt as of the end of the measurement year, and the multiple varies depending on the level of EBITDA compared to a target.

The Company recognized a liability of $26.2 million for the fair value of the 6% interest on the date of the acquisition, which is being accounted for as a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest. The fair value of the liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes inputs, including the volatility of financial results, in order to model the probability of different outcomes. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In subsequent periods, the liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period to its redemption value based on conditions that exist as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The Company reflects any adjustment in the redemption value in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement. The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $25.7 million based on exchange rates in effect on August 4, 2019, of which $12.4 million is included in accrued expenses and $13.3 million is included in other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Prior to the closing of the Australia acquisition, Gazal had entered into an agreement to sell an office building and warehouse to a third party and, as such, the building was classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. The building was subsequently sold to a third party and leased back to the Company in June 2019. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for further discussion of this sale-leaseback transaction.

The goodwill of $68.6 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments in the amounts of $58.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, which include the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets of $222.2 million consisted of reacquired license rights of $204.9 million, which are indefinite lived, and order backlog of $0.3 million and customer relationships of $17.0 million, which are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over 0.5 years and 10.0 years, respectively. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets and liabilities assumed; thus, the allocation of the acquisition date fair value is subject to change.

Acquisition of the Geoffrey Beene Tradename

The Company acquired on April 20, 2018 the Geoffrey Beene tradename from Geoffrey Beene, LLC (“Geoffrey Beene”). Prior to the acquisition, the Company licensed the rights to design, market and distribute Geoffrey Beene dress shirts and neckwear from Geoffrey Beene.

The tradename was acquired for $17.0 million, consisting of $15.9 million paid in cash, $0.7 million of royalties prepaid to Geoffrey Beene by the Company under the license agreement, and $0.4 million of liabilities assumed by the Company. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

5. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company and Arvind formed PVH Ethiopia, in which the Company owns a 75% interest, during 2016. The Company consolidates PVH Ethiopia in its consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for the Company for distribution primarily in the United States.

The shareholders agreement governing PVH Ethiopia (the “Shareholders Agreement”) contains a put option under which Arvind can require the Company to purchase all of its shares in the joint venture during various future periods as specified in the Shareholders Agreement. The first such period immediately precedes the ninth anniversary of PVH Ethiopia’s date of incorporation. The Shareholders Agreement also contains call options under which the Company can require Arvind to sell to the Company (i) all or a portion of its shares during various future periods as specified in the Shareholders Agreement; (ii) all of its shares in the event of a change of control of Arvind; or (iii) all of its shares in the event that Arvind ceases to hold at least 10% of the outstanding shares. The Company’s first call option referred to in clause (i) immediately follows the fifth anniversary of the date of incorporation of PVH Ethiopia. The put and call prices are the fair market value of the shares on the redemption date based upon a multiple of PVH Ethiopia’s EBITDA for the prior 12 months, less PVH Ethiopia’s net debt.

The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) as of the date of formation of PVH Ethiopia was $0.1 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI is adjusted to equal the redemption amount at the end of each reporting period, provided that this amount at the end of each reporting period cannot be lower than the initial fair value adjusted for the minority shareholder’s share of net income or loss. Any adjustment to the redemption amount of the RNCI is determined after attribution of net income or loss of the RNCI and will be recognized immediately in retained earnings of the Company, since it is probable that the RNCI will become redeemable in the future based on the passage of time. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of August 4, 2019 was $(0.6) million, which is greater than the redemption amount. The carrying amount decreased from $0.2 million as of February 3, 2019 as a result of a net loss attributable to the RNCI for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 of $0.8 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of August 5, 2018 was $1.0 million.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $146.6 million, $207.1 million and $201.3 million as of August 4, 2019, February 3, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received dividends of $10.0 million and $3.6 million from these investments during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively.

Prior to May 31, 2019, the Company held an approximately 22% ownership interest in Gazal and a 50% ownership interest in PVH Australia. These investments were accounted for under the equity method of accounting until the closing of the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019, on which date the Company derecognized its equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia and began to consolidate the operations of Gazal and PVH Australia into its financial statements. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” for further discussion.

7. GOODWILL

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, by segment (please see Note 20, “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				Heritage Brands Wholesale				Heritage Brands Retail				Total

Goodwill, gross	780.4				900.4				204.4				1,605.2				246.5				11.9				3,748.8
Accumulated impairment losses	—				—				—				—				—				(11.9		)		(11.9		)
Goodwill, net	$	780.4			$	900.4			$	204.4			$	1,605.2			$	246.5			$	—			$	3,736.9

The goodwill acquired in the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions was assigned as of the respective acquisition dates to the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combinations.

8. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company, as of August 4, 2019, has five noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements. The plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation and years of credited service. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these five plans as its “Pension Plans.”

 

The Company also has three noncontributory unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans, including:

–	A plan for certain current and former members of Tommy Hilfiger’s domestic senior management. The plan is frozen and, as a result, participants do not accrue additional benefits.

–

A capital accumulation program for certain current and former senior executives. Under the individual participants’ agreements, the participants in the program will receive a predetermined amount during the ten years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the plan for at least ten years and has attained age 55.

–	A plan for certain employees resident in the United States 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 shortly after, employment termination or retirement.

The Company refers to these three plans as its “SERP Plans.”

The components of net benefit cost recognized were as follows:

	Pension Plans								Pension Plans
	Thirteen Weeks Ended								Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
(In millions)	8/4/19				8/5/18				8/4/19				8/5/18
Service cost	$	8.5			$	8.6			$	16.7			$	16.9
Interest cost	7.1				6.5				14.0				13.0
Expected return on plan assets	(10.1		)		(10.1		)		(20.2		)		(20.1		)
Total	$	5.5			$	5.0			$	10.5			$	9.8

	SERP Plans								SERP Plans
	Thirteen Weeks Ended								Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
(In millions)	8/4/19				8/5/18				8/4/19				8/5/18
Service cost	$	1.4			$	1.6			$	2.9			$	2.9
Interest cost	1.1				1.0				2.1				2.0
Total	$	2.5			$	2.6			$	5.0			$	4.9

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”), the Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain Warnaco retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of the applicable plan, both of 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 twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018.

The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and the other components of net benefit cost are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2019. 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.

 

9. DEBT

Short-Term Borrowings

The Company has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under its senior unsecured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The Company had $115.0 million outstanding under these facilities as of August 4, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of August 4, 2019 was 3.61%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $378.4 million.

Additionally, the Company has the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities, which now include a facility in Australia as a result of the Australia acquisition, provided for borrowings of up to $133.8 million based on exchange rates in effect on August 4, 2019 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $68.2 million outstanding under these facilities as of August 4, 2019, inclusive of borrowings under the facility in Australia. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of August 4, 2019 was 2.19%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $99.5 million.

Long-Term Debt

The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:

(In millions)	8/4/19				2/3/19				8/5/18
Senior unsecured Term Loan A facilities due 2024 (1)(2)	$	1,642.0			$	—			$	—
Senior secured Term Loan A facility due 2021	—				1,643.8				1,707.9
7 3/4% debentures due 2023	99.6				99.6				99.6
3 5/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2024 (2)	384.3				396.5				400.1
3 1/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2027 (2)	658.3				679.5				685.9
Total	2,784.2				2,819.4				2,893.5
Less: Current portion of long-term debt	41.2				—				—
Long-term debt	$	2,743.0			$	2,819.4			$	2,893.5

⁽¹⁾ The outstanding principal balance for the United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and the euro-denominated Term Loan A facility was $1,093.2 million and €500.0 million, respectively, as of August 4, 2019.

⁽²⁾ The carrying amount of the Company’s euro-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior unsecured euro notes includes the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.

Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of August 4, 2019, February 3, 2019 and August 5, 2018.

As of August 4, 2019, the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2019 through 2024 were as follows:

(In millions)
Fiscal Year	Amount (1)
Remainder of 2019	$	20.6
2020	41.2
2021	61.8
2022	103.0
2023	223.6
2024	1,686.9

⁽¹⁾ A portion of the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments are denominated in euro and subject to changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.

Total debt repayments for the remainder of 2019 through 2024 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facilities, 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and 3 5/8% euro senior notes due 2024 as of August 4, 2019 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

As of August 4, 2019, after taking into account the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities,” which were in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.

2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit facilities (as amended, the “2016 facilities”). The Company replaced the 2016 facilities with new senior unsecured credit facilities on April 29, 2019 as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The 2016 facilities, as of the date they were replaced, consisted of a $2,347.4 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $475.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a $25.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars and Canadian dollars and (iii) a €185.9 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Swiss francs.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

The Company refinanced the 2016 facilities on April 29, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) by entering into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2019 facilities”), the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the 2016 facilities, as well as the related debt issuance costs.

The 2019 facilities consist of a $1,093.2 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”), a €500.0 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility” and together with the USD TLA facility, the “TLA facilities”) and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD $70.0 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200.0 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities are due on April 29, 2024. In connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities, the Company paid debt issuance costs of $10.4 million (of which $3.5 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $6.9 million is being amortized over the term of the debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $1.7 million to write off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

Each of the senior unsecured revolving facilities, except for the $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars, also include amounts available for letters of credit and have a portion available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500.0 million. The lenders under the 2019 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.

The Company had loans outstanding of $1,642.0 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $115.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $20.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of August 4, 2019.

The terms of the TLA facilities require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2019. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the first eight calendar quarters following the Closing Date, 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the four calendar quarters thereafter and 7.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the remaining calendar quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the TLA facilities. The outstanding borrowings under the 2019 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments made by the Company would reduce the future required repayment amounts.

The Company made no repayments on its term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities. The Company made payments of $85.0 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018 on its term loans under the 2016 facilities.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances having a term of one month or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

Borrowings available in Hong Kong dollars under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

16

---

The borrowings under the 2019 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars, Canadian dollars or Hong Kong dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility is 1.375% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.375% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the TLA facilities and the revolving credit facilities 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 Company entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of its variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for the outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated and the Company pays a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and/or August 5, 2018:

(In millions)
Designation Date		Commencement Date		Initial Notional Amount				Notional Amount Outstanding as of August 4, 2019				Fixed Rate		Expiration Date
June 2019		February 2020		$	50.0			$	—			1.409%		February 2022
June 2019		June 2019		50.0				50.0				1.719%		July 2021
January 2019		February 2020		50.0				—				2.4187%		February 2021
November 2018		February 2019		139.2				139.1				2.8645%		February 2021
October 2018		February 2019		115.7				178.3				2.9975%		February 2021
June 2018		August 2018		50.0				50.0				2.6825%		February 2021
June 2017		February 2018		306.5				119.0				1.566%		February 2020
July 2014		February 2016		682.6				—				1.924%		February 2018

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in February 2018 and February 2019 are adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the terms of the swap agreements such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the USD TLA facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps.

The 2019 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; and a change in control (as defined in the 2019 facilities).

The 2019 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2019 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

The Company has outstanding $100.0 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. The debentures are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to maturity.

3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024

The Company has outstanding €350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 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 15, 2024 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 euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. 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.

  

As of August 4, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements.

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 3, 2019 for further discussion of the Company’s debt.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 were 13.3% and 18.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 were 16.3% and 17.8%, respectively.

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 were lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to (i) the favorable impact of a tax exemption on the noncash gain recorded to write up the Company’s equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition, which resulted in a benefit to the Company’s effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 of 13.7% and 8.5%, respectively, partially offset by (ii) the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) imposed by the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which more than offset the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018 were lower than the United States statutory income tax rate, primarily due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.

The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings comes from international operations, particularly in the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of the Company’s jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure.

The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its term loans under the 2019 facilities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of this exposure. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion of the 2019 facilities and these agreements.

The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate swap agreements are designated as effective hedging instruments (collectively, “cash flow hedges”). The changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are

18

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 designated the carrying amounts of its €600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and €350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), that it had issued in the United States, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 9, “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. Since 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 $1,187.0 million and $1,042.6 million, respectively, as of August 4, 2019, $1,098.3 million and $1,076.0 million, respectively, as of February 3, 2019 and $1,133.3 million and $1,086.0 million, respectively, as of August 5, 2018. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedges at inception and at the beginning of each quarter thereafter. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.

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”), including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to 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 intercompany 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:

(In millions)	Assets																					Liabilities
	8/4/19							2/3/19							8/5/18							8/4/19							2/3/19							8/5/18
	Other Current Assets			Other Assets				Other Current Assets			Other Assets				Other Current Assets			Other Assets				Accrued Expenses			Other Liabilities				Accrued Expenses			Other Liabilities				Accrued Expenses			Other Liabilities

Interest rate swap agreements		0.2				0.4				Interest expense		59.3				59.7
Total		$	25.9			$	(28.2	)

A net gain in AOCL on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at August 4, 2019 of $47.2 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement to costs of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCL for interest rate swap agreements at August 4, 2019 of $3.8 million is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months. Amounts recognized in AOCL for foreign currency borrowings would be recognized in earnings only upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged net investment.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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:

	8/4/19												2/3/19												8/5/18
(In millions)	Level 1		Level 2				Level 3		Total				Level 1		Level 2				Level 3		Total				Level 1		Level 2				Level 3		Total
Assets:
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	N/A		$	40.5			N/A		$	40.5			N/A		$	24.8			N/A		$	24.8			N/A		$	27.5			N/A		$	27.5
Interest rate swap agreements	N/A		0.3				N/A		0.3				N/A		1.4				N/A		1.4				N/A		2.7				N/A		2.7
Total Assets	N/A		$	40.8			N/A		$	40.8			N/A		$	26.2			N/A		$	26.2			N/A		$	30.2			N/A		$	30.2
Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	N/A		$	3.9			N/A		$	3.9			N/A		$	6.2			N/A		$	6.2			N/A		$	3.4			N/A		$	3.4
Interest rate swap agreements	N/A		7.0				N/A		7.0				N/A		2.8				N/A		2.8				N/A		0.1				N/A		0.1
Total Liabilities	N/A		$	10.9			N/A		$	10.9			N/A		$	9.0			N/A		$	9.0			N/A		$	3.5			N/A		$	3.5

The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is based on observable interest rate yield curves and represents the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments.

There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.

The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (consisting of operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment) during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:

(In millions)	Fair Value Measurement Using								Fair Value As Of Impairment Date				Total Impairments
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Operating lease right-of-use assets	N/A		N/A		$	16.8			$	16.8			$	77.0
Property, plant and equipment, net	N/A		N/A		—				—				10.8

Operating lease right-of-use assets with a carrying amount of $93.8 million were written down to a fair value of $16.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 as a result of the closure during the first quarter of 2019 of the Company’s TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”) and the closure during the first quarter of 2019 of the Company’s CALVIN KLEIN flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring (as defined in Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs”). Please see Note 17 for further discussion of the Calvin Klein restructuring costs. Fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets was determined based on the discounted cash flows of estimated sublease income using market participant assumptions.

Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $10.8 million was written down to a fair value of zero during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, the closure of the Company’s CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand (formerly Calvin Klein Collection), and the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores, including certain CALVIN KLEIN stores affected by the realignment of the Calvin Klein creative direction globally. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” for further discussion of the Calvin Klein restructuring costs. Fair value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions.

The $87.8 million of impairment charges was included in SG&A expenses, of which $49.6 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $32.6 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment and $5.6 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment.

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:

	8/4/19								2/3/19								8/5/18
(In millions)	Carrying Amount				Fair Value				Carrying Amount				Fair Value				Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	433.5			$	433.5			$	452.0			$	452.0			$	431.1			$	431.1
Short-term borrowings	183.2				183.2				12.8				12.8				85.4				85.4
Long-term debt (including portion classified as current)	2,784.2				2,949.6				2,819.4				2,853.7				2,893.5				2,955.4

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.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“stock options”); (ii) incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; (vii) performance share units (“PSUs”); and (viii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under

22

---

the 2006 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, performance periods and performance measures, and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Through August 4, 2019, the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan (i) service-based stock options, RSUs and restricted stock; and (ii) contingently issuable PSUs and RSUs. All restricted stock granted by the Company was fully vested at the end of 2015.

According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying an RSU or PSU award reduces the number available by two shares.

Net income for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 included $28.3 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $3.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 were $8.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax benefits of $1.1 million and $4.9 million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying stock option award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). Such stock options are granted with a 10-year term and the per share exercise price cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant.

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’ vesting periods.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:

	8/4/19				8/5/18
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	2.15		%		2.78		%
Weighted average expected stock option term (in years)	6.25				6.25
Weighted average Company volatility	29.88		%		26.92		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15			$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	37.14			$	51.66

The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. The expected stock option term represents the weighted average period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the stock options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant.

The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving stock option grants. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

Stock option activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was as follows:

(In thousands, except per stock option data)	Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option
Outstanding at February 3, 2019	791			$	107.81
Granted	169			111.92
Exercised	24			78.96

Outstanding at August 4, 2019	919			$	109.03
Exercisable at August 4, 2019	605			$	105.88

RSUs

RSUs granted to employees since 2016 generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. Outstanding RSUs granted to employees prior to 2016 generally vest in three annual installments of 25%, 25% and 50% commencing two years after the date of grant. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full one year after the date of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements (excluding agreements for non-employee director awards) generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). 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’ vesting periods.

RSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was as follows:

(In thousands, except per RSU data)	RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU
Non-vested at February 3, 2019	847			$	122.97

Non-vested at August 4, 2019	1,057			$	118.09

PSUs

Contingently issuable PSUs granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives since 2015 are subject to a three-year performance period. For such awards, the final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period, of which 50% is based upon the Company’s absolute stock price growth during the applicable performance period and 50% is based upon the Company’s total shareholder return during the applicable performance period relative to other companies included in the S&P 500 as of the date of grant. For awards granted in 2016, the three-year performance period ended during the first quarter of 2019 and holders of the awards earned an aggregate of 67,000 shares, which was between the threshold and target levels. The Company records expense ratably over the applicable vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied because the awards are subject to market conditions. The fair value of the awards granted was established for each grant on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per PSU:

	8/4/19				8/5/18
Risk-free interest rate	2.13		%		2.62		%
Expected Company volatility	30.25		%		29.78		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15			$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU	$	119.46			$	159.53

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 such awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 6.20% in 2019 and 7.09% in 2018 for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

PSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was as follows:

(In thousands, except per PSU data)	PSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU
Non-vested at February 3, 2019	194			$	106.76
Granted at target	72			119.46
Reduction due to market condition achieved below target	10			87.16

15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. 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.

During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, the Company purchased 1.2 million shares and 0.9 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $126.9 million and $137.5 million, respectively. As of August 4, 2019, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $881.4 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.

Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld principally in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs and PSUs to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

16. LEASES

The Company leases approximately 1,825 Company-operated freestanding retail store locations across more than 35 countries, generally with initial lease terms of three to ten years. The Company also leases warehouses, distribution centers, showrooms, office space and a factory in Ethiopia, generally with initial lease terms of ten to 20 years, as well as certain equipment and other assets, generally with initial lease terms of one to five years.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company's leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease, and the effect of collateralization. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

26

---

Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases generally provide for payments of nonlease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. For lease agreements entered into or modified after February 3, 2019, the Company accounts for lease components and nonlease components together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of nonlease components in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

In conjunction with the Australia acquisition, the Company acquired an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal. Prior to the acquisition, Gazal had entered into an agreement with a third party to sell the building and as such, the building was classified as held for sale and recorded at its fair value less estimated costs to sell on the acquisition date. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” for further discussion. In June 2019, the Company completed the sale of the office building and warehouse for $59.4 million, incurring costs of $1.0 million, and leased back the building without an option to repurchase. No gain or loss was recognized on the transaction. The lease was classified as an operating lease with an initial lease term of five years and includes three options to renew for a period of five years each. Exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain and as a result, the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability based on the initial term of the lease.

The components of the net lease cost for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 were as follows:

				Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
(In millions)	8/4/19			8/5/18			8/4/19			8/5/18
Weighted average potentially dilutive securities	1.3			0.3			0.9			0.2

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 awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 0.4 million and 0.1 million as of August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.

22. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in February 2016 new guidance on leases. The new guidance, among other changes, requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the previous guidance. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term and the right-of-use asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs. The guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach applied as of the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings and as such, prior periods have not been restated. Upon adoption, the Company (i) recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of $1.7 billion and lease liabilities of $1.9 billion, (ii) recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $3.1 million and (iii) recorded other reclassification adjustments within its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to, among other things, deferred rent.

The effects of the adoption on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 3, 2019 were as follows:

(In millions)	As Reported 2/3/19				Adjustments				Adjusted 2/3/19
Assets
Prepaid expenses	$	168.7			$	(21.3	)		$	147.4
Operating lease right-of-use assets	—				1,708.2				1,708.2
Other Assets	400.9				(10.3		)		390.6
Liabilities
Accrued expenses	891.6				(17.0		)		874.6
Current portion of operating lease liabilities	—				350.5				350.5
Long-Term portion of operating lease liabilities	—				1,514.1				1,514.1
Other Liabilities	1,322.4				(167.9		)		1,154.5
Stockholders’ Equity
Retained earnings	4,350.1				(3.1		)		4,347.0

The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company not to reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease, the lease classification for any existing leases, and the capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases, as of the adoption date. The Company’s accounting for finance leases (formerly called capital leases) remains substantially unchanged. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for additional disclosures required by the guidance.

The FASB issued in August 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations and allow companies to better align their hedge accounting with their risk management activities. The update eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires companies to recognize all elements of hedge accounting that impact earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The update also simplifies the requirements for hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, except for the presentation and disclosure guidance, which is being applied on a prospective basis, as required. The adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in August 2018 an update to accounting guidance related to implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred under such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Under previous accounting guidance, the Company generally expensed the implementation costs incurred in

36

connection with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The Company early adopted this update in the first quarter of 2019 using a prospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the Company capitalized $5.9 million of costs incurred in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 to implement cloud computing arrangements, primarily related to digital and consumer data platforms. Such costs were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to incur additional costs to implement cloud computing arrangements during the remainder of 2019 and expects the implementation costs capitalized in its Consolidated Balance Sheet will increase accordingly.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We aggregate our reporting 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 our Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene trademarks, the Speedo trademark we license in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean, and other owned and licensed trademarks. References to the brand names TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co., Geoffrey Beene and Speedo and to other 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 in the immediately preceding item of this report.

We are one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 135 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized trademarks, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo (licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited), Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene. Our brand portfolio also consists of various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands.

Our business strategy is to position our brands to sell globally at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer products to a broad range of consumers, while minimizing competition among our brands and reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, product category, price point, distribution channel or region. We also license the use of our trademarks to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our licensees’ expertise can better serve our brands.

Our revenue was $9.657 billion in 2018, of which over 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global designer lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN, together generated over 80% of our revenue.

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, including through digital commerce sites operated by our wholesale partners and pure play digital commerce retailers, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,825 Company-operated freestanding retail store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and certain of our heritage brands 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 in over 30 countries under each of our TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN trademarks and in the United States through our SpeedoUSA.com, TrueAndCo.com, VanHeusen.com, IZOD.com and styleBureau.com digital commerce sites. 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 six reportable segments: (i) Tommy Hilfiger North America; (ii) Tommy Hilfiger International; (iii) Calvin Klein North America; (iv) Calvin Klein International; (v) Heritage Brands Wholesale; and (vi) Heritage Brands Retail.

We have entered into the following transactions, which impact our results of operations and comparability among the periods, including our full year 2019 expectations as compared to full year 2018, as discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations” below:

38

---

•

We entered into agreements on July 3, 2019 to terminate early the licenses for the global Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger North America socks and hosiery businesses (the “Socks and hosiery transaction”) in conjunction with our plan to consolidate the socks and hosiery business for all of our brands in North America in a newly formed joint venture, which is expected to begin operations in December 2019, and to bring in-house the international Calvin Klein socks and hosiery business. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $60 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 in connection with these agreements.

•

We announced on June 3, 2019 that we and G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”) had entered into a license agreement for the design, production and wholesale distribution of CALVIN KLEIN JEANS women’s jeanswear collections in the United States and Canada (the “G-III license”), which will result in the discontinuation of our directly operated Calvin Klein North America women’s jeanswear wholesale business in 2019.

•

We completed two acquisitions in the second quarter of 2019. The first acquisition, which closed on May 31, 2019, was to acquire the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that we did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). Prior to the closing, we, along with Gazal, jointly owned and managed a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), which licensed and operated businesses under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other licensed and owned brands. PVH Australia came under our full control as a result of the acquisition. The aggregate net purchase price for the shares acquired was $59 million, net of cash acquired and after taking into account the proceeds from the divestiture to a third party of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal in June 2019. The second was our acquisition on July 1, 2019 of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia from our previous licensee in that market (the “TH CSAP acquisition”) for $74 million. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

In connection with the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions, we recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $106 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, including a noncash gain of $113 million to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by pre-tax costs of $7 million, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and one-time expenses recorded on our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia prior to the Australia acquisition closing. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $18 million during the remainder of 2019, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments.

•	We refinanced on April 29, 2019 our senior credit facilities and recorded pre-tax debt modification and extinguishment charges of $5 million. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

•

We closed our TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”) in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded pre-tax costs of $55 million, primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments. Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the noncash lease asset impairments.

•

We announced on January 10, 2019 a restructuring in connection with strategic changes for our Calvin Klein business (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”). The strategic changes included (i) the closure of the CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand (formerly Calvin Klein Collection), (ii) the closure of the flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York (collectively with (i), the “CK Collection closure”), (iii) the restructuring of the Calvin Klein creative and design teams globally, and (iv) the consolidation of operations for the men’s Calvin Klein Sportswear and Calvin Klein Jeans businesses. We recorded pre-tax costs of $99 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, consisting of a $30 million noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, $24 million of contract termination and other costs, $24 million of severance, $9 million of other noncash asset impairments and $13 million of inventory markdowns. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $6 million during the remainder of 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

•	We acquired on April 20, 2018 the Geoffrey Beene tradename from Geoffrey Beene, LLC (“Geoffrey Beene”) for $17 million, of which $16 million was paid in cash. Prior to the acquisition, we had licensed the rights to design, market and distribute Geoffrey Beene dress shirts and neckwear from Geoffrey Beene.

•	We acquired on April 13, 2016 the 55% interest in our former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China that we did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”). We recorded pre-tax charges of $14 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. 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 50% of our $9.657 billion of revenue in 2018 was subject to foreign currency translation. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates, we expect a decrease in revenue of approximately $215 million, or 2%, and a decrease in net income of approximately $25 million in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

There is also a transactional impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. As with translation, our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar as the increased local currency value of inventory results in a higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in a lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transactional impact. The contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. These contracts are generally entered into 12 months in advance of the related inventory purchases. Therefore, the impact of fluctuations of the United States dollar on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts may be realized in our results of operations in the year following their inception, as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. Additionally, there is a transactional impact related to changes in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates, we expect a slight benefit to our net income in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the transactional impact.

Further, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes, as 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 carrying amount of these euro-denominated senior notes that we had issued in the United States 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 at the end of each period is recorded in equity.

Retail comparable store sales discussed below refer to sales from retail stores that have been open for at least 12 months, as well as sales from Company-operated digital commerce sites for those businesses and regions that have operated the related digital commerce site for at least 12 months. Sales from retail stores and Company-operated digital commerce sites that are closed or shut down during the year are excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales. Sales for retail stores that are relocated, materially altered in size or closed for a certain number of consecutive days and sales from Company-operated digital commerce sites that are materially altered are also excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales until such stores or sites have been in their new location or in their newly renovated state, as applicable, for at least 12 months. Retail comparable store sales are based on local currencies and comparable weeks.

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 has 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 factors, our results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 4, 2019 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended August 5, 2018

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2019 was $2.364 billion as compared to $2.334 billion in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase in revenue of $30 million, or 1%, was due principally to the effect of the following items:

•

The net addition of an aggregate $82 million of revenue, or an 8% increase over the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of $26 million, or 2%, related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue increased 18% (including a 4% negative foreign currency impact), primarily driven by outperformance experienced in Europe and the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia acquisition. Tommy Hilfiger International comparable store sales increased 9%. Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 5%, driven by an 8% decline in Tommy Hilfiger North America comparable store sales due to weakness in traffic and consumer spending trends, especially in stores located in international tourist locations.

•

The net reduction of an aggregate $52 million of revenue, or a 6% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of $18 million, or 2%, related to foreign currency translation and an aggregate net reduction of approximately 2% resulting from (i) the winding down of our directly operated women’s jeanswear wholesale business in the United States and Canada in connection with the G-III license, (ii) the CK Collection closure and (iii) the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia acquisition. Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 1% (including a 4% negative foreign currency impact), driven by continued solid growth in Europe and revenue from the Australia acquisition, partially offset by a reduction of revenue as a result of the CK Collection closure and softness experienced across China. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales were flat. Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 13% (including a 1% negative foreign currency impact), principally due to the effect of the G-III license and a 3% decline in Calvin Klein North America comparable store sales due to weakness in traffic and consumer spending trends, especially in stores located in international tourist locations.

•	The net addition of an aggregate $1 million of revenue attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments. Comparable store sales declined 2%.

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 exchange contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in SG&A expenses. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue 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 second quarter of 2019 was $1.288 billion, or 54.5% of total revenue, as compared to $1.297 billion, or 55.6% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The 110 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a gross margin decline in our North America businesses, principally due to more promotional selling in our Tommy Hilfiger and Heritage Brands businesses as compared to the second quarter of the prior year, and inventory markdowns recorded in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were $1.155 billion, or 48.8% of total revenue, as compared to $1.071 billion, or 45.9% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The 290 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to costs incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring and the Socks and hosiery transaction.

Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income

Non-service related pension and postretirement income in the second quarter of 2019 was $2 million as compared to $3 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

Other Noncash Gain

We recorded a noncash gain of $113 million in the second quarter of 2019 to write up our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” 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 $1 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $3 million in the second quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from our PVH Australia joint venture (prior to the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019), our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN brands and certain of our heritage brands in Mexico (“PVH Mexico”), and our joint ventures for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in India and Brazil, and for the CALVIN KLEIN brand in India. Also included is our share of (loss) income from our investments in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”) and in Gazal (prior to the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019). The decrease in equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates as compared to the prior year is primarily related to one-time expenses of $2 million recorded on our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia prior to the Australia acquisition closing. Our investments in the continuing joint ventures and Karl Lagerfeld are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the closing of the Australia acquisition, we began to consolidate the results of Gazal and PVH Australia into our financial statements. Please see the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense decreased to $27 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $29 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 13.3% compared to 18.6% in the second quarter of the prior year.

Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to (i) the favorable impact of a tax exemption on the noncash gain recorded to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition, which resulted in a benefit to our effective tax rate of 13.7%, partially offset by (ii) the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) imposed by the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “U.S. Tax Legislation”), which more than offset the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings comes from our international operations, particularly in the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of our jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

We have a joint venture in Ethiopia with Arvind Limited named PVH Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”) in which we own a 75% interest. We consolidate the results of PVH Ethiopia in our consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for us for distribution primarily in the United States.

42

---

The net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) in PVH Ethiopia was immaterial in the second quarters of 2019 and 2018. Please see Note 5, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 4, 2019 Compared With Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 5, 2018

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $4.721 billion as compared to $4.648 billion in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The increase in revenue of $72 million, or 2%, was due to the effect of the following items:

•

The net addition of an aggregate $118 million of revenue, or a 6% increase over the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of $83 million, or 4%, related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue increased 11% (including a 6% negative foreign currency impact), driven principally by outperformance in Europe and the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia acquisition. Tommy Hilfiger International comparable store sales increased 9%. Revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 2%, driven by a 6% decline in Tommy Hilfiger North America comparable store sales due to weakness in traffic and consumer spending trends, especially in stores located in international tourist locations, partially offset by growth in the North America wholesale business in the first quarter of 2019.

•

The reduction of an aggregate $52 million of revenue, or a 3% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of $54 million, or 3%, related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue was flat (including a 5% negative foreign currency impact), as solid growth in Europe and the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia acquisition were more than offset by the negative impacts of foreign currency translation, softness experienced across China and the reduction of revenue resulting from the CK Collection closure. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales decreased 2%. Revenue in the Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 6%, driven by a 4% decrease in Calvin Klein North America comparable store sales due to weakness in traffic and consumer spending trends, especially in stores located in international tourist locations, and the effect of the G-III license.

•	The net addition of an aggregate $7 million of revenue, or a 1% increase over the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments. Comparable store sales decreased 4%.

We currently expect that revenue will increase approximately 1% in 2019 compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to increase approximately 5% compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 3% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to decrease approximately 2% compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Heritage Brands business is expected to decrease approximately 1% compared to 2018. Our 2019 guidance reflects the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions that closed in the second quarter of 2019, and the impact of the CK Collection closure and the G-III license. These transactions are expected to result in a net addition to revenue of approximately $75 million in 2019.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $2.584 billion, or 54.7% of total revenue, as compared to $2.588 billion, or 55.7% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 100 basis point decrease in gross margin was principally driven by a gross margin decline in our North America businesses, principally due to more promotional selling as compared to the prior year period, and inventory markdowns recorded in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring.

We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2019 will increase slightly as compared to 2018 primarily due to the impact of expected faster growth in our Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher gross margins, largely offset by an expected gross margin decline in our Tommy Hilfiger North America business due to more promotional selling and an expected negative impact of tariffs imposed and expected to be imposed on goods imported from China into the United States.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 were $2.316 billion, or 49.1% of total revenue, as compared to $2.124 billion, or 45.7% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 340 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was attributable principally to costs incurred in connection with (i) the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) the Socks and hosiery transaction, and (iii) the TH U.S. store closures. These increases were partially offset by overall lower operating expenses in our Calvin Klein business and the absence in 2019 of costs that were recorded in the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2019 in connection with the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2019 will increase as compared to 2018 due to (i) an increase in costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) costs incurred in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, (iii) costs incurred in connection with the Socks and hosiery transaction and (iv) a change in the mix of business due to faster growth in our Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of total revenue. These increases will be partially offset by the absence in 2019 of costs that were recorded in 2018 in connection with the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income

Non-service related pension and postretirement income in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $4 million as compared to $5 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year.

We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2019 will be approximately $8 million compared to non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) of $(5) million in 2018. 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. Our 2018 non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) included a $(15) million actuarial loss on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter. Our expectation of 2019 non-service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. However, based on current market, economic, and demographic conditions, we may incur a significant actuarial loss in the fourth quarter of 2019 if such conditions continue. Our actual 2019 non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) may be significantly different than our projections.

Debt Modification and Extinguishment Costs

We incurred costs totaling $5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 in connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

Other Noncash Gain

We recorded a noncash gain of $113 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 to write up our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” 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 $5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 as compared to $7 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from our PVH Australia joint venture (prior to the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019), our PVH Mexico joint venture, and our joint ventures for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in India and Brazil, and for the CALVIN KLEIN brand in India. Also included is our share of (loss) income from our investments in Karl Lagerfeld and in Gazal (prior to the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019). The decrease in equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates as compared to the prior year period is primarily related to one-time expenses of $2 million recorded on our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia prior to the Australia acquisition closing. Our investments in the continuing joint ventures and Karl Lagerfeld are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the closing of the Australia acquisition, we began to consolidate the results of Gazal and PVH Australia into our financial statements. Please see the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

44

---

We currently expect that our equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for the full year 2019 will decrease as compared to 2018 as the income we recognized on our investments in Gazal and PVH Australia in 2019 was only for the portion of the year prior to the acquisition closing.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense decreased to $57 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 from $58 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year.

Net interest expense for the full year 2019 is currently expected to be approximately $110 million compared to $116 million in 2018. Our expectation of 2019 net interest expense does not include the impact of any adjustments that may be recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 to the redemption value of our liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was 16.3% compared to 17.8% in the twenty-six week period of the prior year.

Our effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to (i) the favorable impact of a tax exemption on the noncash gain recorded to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition, which resulted in a benefit to our effective tax rate of 8.5%, partially offset by (ii) the GILTI tax imposed by the U.S. Tax Legislation, which more than offset the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

Our effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings comes from our international operations, particularly in the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of our jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.

We currently expect that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will be in a range of 11.5% to 12.5%. Our expectation that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will be lower than the United States statutory income tax rate is principally due to the overall benefit of certain discrete items, including the favorable impact on certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions and the tax exemption on the noncash gain recorded to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value in connection with the Australia acquisition. Our expectation that the effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will increase compared to 4.0% for the full year 2018 is primarily due to (i) the absence of a 5.3% benefit to our 2018 effective income tax rate related to the remeasurement of certain of our net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the enactment of legislation in the Netherlands known as the “2019 Dutch Tax Plan” and (ii) the absence of a 3.2% benefit to our 2018 effective income tax rate related to the U.S. Tax Legislation, partially offset by (iii) the favorable impact of a tax exemption on the noncash gain recorded in 2019 to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value.

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 evaluation of new facts and information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions.

RNCI

The net loss attributable to the RNCI was immaterial in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018. We currently expect that the net loss attributable to the RNCI for the full year 2019 will be immaterial. Please see Note 5, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Summary

Cash and cash equivalents at August 4, 2019 was $433 million, a decrease of $19 million from the amount at February 3, 2019 of $452 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) a $59 million net payment made in connection with the Australia acquisition, (ii) a $74 million payment made in connection with the TH CSAP acquisition, (iii) $115 million of borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and (iv) $125 million of common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program. The seasonality of our business results in significant fluctuations in our cash balance between fiscal year end and subsequent interim periods due to the timing of inventory purchases and peak sales periods. Cash flow for the full year 2019 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, including (i) expected long-term debt repayments of approximately $50 million and (ii) expected common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of approximately $300 million.

As of August 4, 2019, approximately $396 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of our earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. However, if management decides at a later date to repatriate these earnings to the United States, we may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, including any applicable foreign withholding tax and United States state income taxes. 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 $318 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 compared to $311 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018. The increase in cash provided by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by changes in working capital, including a favorable change in trade receivables and inventories, mostly offset by a decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges.

In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we were obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales (as defined in the acquisition agreement, as amended) of products bearing any of the CALVIN KLEIN brands with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein were made were wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other partners to retailers. Contingent purchase price payments totaled $16 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018. The final payment due to Mr. Klein was made in the second quarter of 2018.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures in the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 were $151 million compared to $165 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2019 will be approximately $400 million and will include expenditures primarily related to (i) investments in new stores and store expansions, (ii) continued investments to upgrade and enhance our operating, supply chain and logistics systems and our digital commerce platforms, and (iii) the expansion of our warehouse and distribution network in North America.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We received dividends of $10 million and $4 million from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively. These dividends are included in our net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective period.

We currently expect to make payments of approximately $30 million in 2019 to contribute our 49% share of the funding to the new joint venture we formed in conjunction with the Socks and hosiery transaction, which is expected to begin operations in December 2019.

Loan to a Supplier

Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of our finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which we entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $14 million for the development and operation of a fabric mill. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2026. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of

46

---

(i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.00% thereafter. We received principal payments of $200,000 and $100,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $14 million as of August 4, 2019, February 3, 2019 and August 5, 2018.

TH CSAP Acquisition

We completed the acquisition of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia on July 1, 2019 for $74 million. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Australia Acquisition

We completed the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019. Prior to this acquisition, we had an approximately 22% interest in Gazal and a 50% interest in PVH Australia, both of which were accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This transaction resulted in a net cash payment of $59 million, including (i) a payment of $118 million, net of cash acquired of $7 million, as cash consideration for the acquisition and (ii) proceeds of $59 million related to the sale of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Acquisition of the Geoffrey Beene Tradename

We acquired the Geoffrey Beene tradename on April 20, 2018 for $17 million, of which $16 million was paid in cash. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Dividends

Our common stock currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share. Dividends on common stock totaled $9 million in each of the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018.

We currently project that cash dividends on our common stock for the full year 2019 will be approximately $11 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of August 4, 2019, our estimate of stock to be issued during the full year 2019 under our stock incentive plans and our estimate of stock repurchases for the full year 2019.

Acquisition of Treasury Shares

Our Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. 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.

During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018, we purchased approximately 1.2 million shares and 900,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $127 million and $137 million, respectively. Purchases of $2 million were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 4, 2019. Purchases of $2 million that were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018 were paid in the first quarter of 2018. The repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $881 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases as of August 4, 2019.

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)	8/4/19				2/3/19				8/5/18
Short-term borrowings	$	183			$	13			$	85
Current portion of long-term debt	41				—				—
Finance lease liabilities	15				17				14
Long-term debt	2,743				2,819				2,893
Stockholders’ equity	5,872				5,828				5,565

In addition, we had $433 million, $452 million and $431 million of cash and cash equivalents as of August 4, 2019, February 3, 2019 and August 5, 2018, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings

We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. We had $115 million outstanding under these facilities as of August 4, 2019, which is expected to be repaid by the end of 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of August 4, 2019 was 3.61%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $378 million.

Additionally, we have the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities, which now include a facility in Australia as a result of the Australia acquisition, provided for borrowings of up to $134 million based on exchange rates in effect on August 4, 2019 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $68 million outstanding under these facilities as of August 4, 2019, inclusive of borrowings under the facility in Australia. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of August 4, 2019 was 2.19%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 was $99 million.

Finance Lease Liabilities

Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $3 million in each of the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019 and August 5, 2018.

2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2016, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit facilities (as amended, the “2016 facilities”). We replaced the 2016 facilities with new senior unsecured credit facilities on April 29, 2019 as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The 2016 facilities, as of the date they were replaced, consisted of a $2.347 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $475 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a $25 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars and Canadian dollars and (iii) a €186 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Swiss francs.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

We refinanced the 2016 facilities on April 29, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) by entering into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2019 facilities”), the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the 2016 facilities, as well as the related debt issuance costs.

The 2019 facilities consist of a $1.093 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”), a €500 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility” and together with the USD TLA facility, the “TLA facilities”) and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD $70 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50 million

United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities are due on April 29, 2024. In connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities, we paid debt issuance costs of $10 million (of which $3 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $7 million is being amortized over the term of the debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $2 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

Each of the senior unsecured revolving facilities, except for the $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars, also include amounts available for letters of credit and have a portion available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, we may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. The lenders under the 2019 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.

We had loans outstanding of $1.642 billion, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $115 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $20 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of August 4, 2019.

 

The terms of the TLA facilities require us to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2019. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the first eight calendar quarters following the Closing Date, 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the four calendar quarters thereafter and 7.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the remaining calendar quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the TLA facilities. The outstanding borrowings under the 2019 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments we make would reduce the future required repayment amounts.

We made no repayments on our term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities. We made payments of $85 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 5, 2018 on our term loans under the 2016 facilities.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances having a term of one month or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

Borrowings available in Hong Kong dollars under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The borrowings under the 2019 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars, Canadian dollars or Hong Kong dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility is 1.375% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.375% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the TLA facilities and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of our fiscal quarters, based upon our net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

We entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of our variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for the outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR is eliminated and we pay a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following

October 2018		February 2019		116				178				2.9975%		February 2021
June 2018		August 2018		50				50				2.6825%		February 2021
June 2017		February 2018		306				119				1.566%		February 2020
July 2014		February 2016		683				—				1.924%		February 2018

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in February 2018 and February 2019 are adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the terms of the swap agreements such that, based on our projections for future debt repayments, our outstanding debt under the USD TLA facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

We have outstanding $100 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. The debentures are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity.

3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024

We have outstanding €350 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 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 15, 2024 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027

We have outstanding €600 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We 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, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 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 August 4, 2019, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.

As of August 4, 2019, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a stable outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a stable outlook. 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 9, “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 2019 through 2024.

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 3, 2019 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 3, 2019. We adopted, effective the first quarter of 2019, accounting guidance related to leases. The guidance requires that we recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the current guidance. Please see Note 22, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” and Note 16, “Leases,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. We also adopted, effective the first quarter of 2019, accounting guidance related to implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred under such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Under previous accounting guidance, we generally expensed the implementation costs incurred in connection with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Please see Note 22, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, 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 3, 2019, except for the items mentioned above.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us as of August 4, 2019 include cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Note 12, “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 August 4, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates, which are currently low. The potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low due to the currently low rates of return we are receiving on our cash and cash equivalents and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on our interest income. However, there is potential for a more significant increase in short-term interest rates, which could have a more material impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at August 4, 2019, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $400,000 annually. Borrowings under our 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, our 2019 facilities expose us to market risk for changes in interest rates. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements for the intended purpose of reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility. As of August 4, 2019, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of our long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remainder at variable interest rates. Given our long-term debt position at August 4, 2019, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $1 million annually. Please refer to “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 and interest rate swap agreements.

Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Over 50% of our $9.657 billion of revenue in 2018 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 Brazilian real, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies.

In the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2019, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $142 million within other comprehensive (loss) income principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro of 3% since February 3, 2019. 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 32% of our $7.5 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of August 4, 2019. This translational impact was partially mitigated by the change in the fair value of our net investment hedges discussed below.

A transactional impact on financial results is common for apparel companies operating outside the United States that purchase goods in United States dollars, as is the case with most of our foreign operations. As with translation, our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar as the increased local currency value of inventory results in a higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in a lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain intercompany transactions and SG&A expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange 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. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries.

Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at August 4, 2019, 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

52

---

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 designated the carrying amount of our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes that we had issued in the United States as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. 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 $105 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 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 our euro-denominated senior notes.

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 2019 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $6 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2019 net benefit cost of approximately $30 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 Operating & 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 Operating & 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 Operating & Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We implemented internal controls in connection with our adoption of the new lease accounting standard in the first quarter of 2019. There have been no other 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.

⁽¹⁾ Our Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023, of which $750 million was authorized on March 26, 2019. 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.

⁽²⁾ Our 2006 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 second quarter of 2019 principally in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements, in addition to the shares repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program discussed above.
