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, as well as various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands. The Company also licensed Speedo for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited until April 6, 2020, at which time the Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC (“Pentland”), the parent company of the Speedo brand (the “Speedo transaction”). Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company deconsolidated the net assets of the Speedo North America business and no longer licenses the Speedo trademark. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, 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 Statements of Operations 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 2, 2020.
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 weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as 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 have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in the first quarter of 2020 and continues into the second quarter of 2020. Virtually all of the Company’s retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the first quarter as a result of the pandemic, with some stores beginning to reopen early in the second quarter under reduced operating hours. The Company’s wholesale customers and licensing partners also experienced significant business disruptions, which also resulted in a decrease in the Company’s revenue. In addition, the pandemic has impacted some of the Company’s suppliers, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors and has also disrupted the supply chains of its licensees. These supply chains may experience future disruptions as a result of either closed factories or factories operating with reduced workforces.
6
Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations, the Company has taken certain actions to preserve its liquidity and strengthen its financial flexibility. The Company suspended share repurchases under its stock repurchase program and suspended its dividends in mid-March. In addition, the Company has taken certain actions, which are ongoing, to (i) reduce payroll costs, through salary and incentive compensation reductions, furloughs, decreased working hours and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of applicable government relief programs, (ii) eliminate or reduce discretionary and variable operating expenses, including marketing, travel, consulting services, and creative and design costs, (iii) reduce working capital, with a particular focus on tightly managing its inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with its suppliers, and (iv) reduce capital expenditures.
In April 2020, the Company entered into a new $275.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility and issued an additional €175.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024. In June 2020, the Company amended its senior unsecured credit facilities to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants under these facilities during future periods. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion.
The Company also assessed the impacts of the pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to the allowance for credit losses, inventory reserves, carrying values of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, and the effectiveness of hedging instruments. Based on these assessments, the Company recorded pre-tax noncash impairment charges of $961.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, including $879.0 million related to goodwill, $54.5 million related to other intangible assets, $16.0 million related to store assets and $12.3 million related to an equity method investment, and recorded increases to its inventory reserves and allowances for credit losses of $59.1 million and $32.9 million, respectively. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion of the impairments related to goodwill and other intangible assets, Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion of the impairments related to store assets and Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion of the impairment related to an equity method investment.
The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based on management’s judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management, the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.
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 Company has provided temporary extensions to its standard payment terms for certain customers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. 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
7
based on an analysis of historical experience. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption.
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. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards nor do they expire. 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 May 3, 2020, 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 $204.2 million as revenue during the remainder of 2020, $249.0 million in 2021 and $737.6 million thereafter.

Deferred Revenue
Changes in deferred revenue, which primarily relate to customer loyalty programs, gift cards and license agreements for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were as follows:
| (In millions) | Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||||||||||
| 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | ||||||||||
| Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period | $ | 64.7 | $ | 65.3 | |||||||
| Net additions to deferred revenue during the period | 29.6 | 42.0 | |||||||||
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period (1) | (42.6) | (51.4) | |||||||||

(1) Represents the amount of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period and does not contemplate revenue recognized from amounts deferred during the period.
The Company also had long-term deferred revenue liabilities included in other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets of $9.7 million, $10.3 million and $2.1 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, 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 18, “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 AND DIVESTITURES
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 that market (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). As a result of the TH CSAP acquisition, the Company now operates directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in the Central and Southeast Asia market.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid was $74.3 million. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired consisted of $63.9 million of goodwill and $10.4 million of other net assets. The goodwill of $63.9 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, which will be completed in the second quarter of 2020; 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 in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of Oceania under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other owned and licensed brands. PVH Australia came under the Company’s full control as a result of the acquisition. The Company now operates directly those businesses.
9
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.
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 the holders had the option to defer half of this tranche to tranche 2; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. With respect to tranche 1, the holders elected not to defer their shares and, as a result, the Company purchased all of the tranche 1 shares in June 2020. 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, provided that the liability cannot be adjusted below the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date. The Company records any such adjustments to the liability in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the tranche 1 shares, the measurement period ended in 2019 and the $16.3 million liability as of May 3, 2020 was equal to the aggregate purchase price for the tranche 1 shares paid to the management shareholders in June 2020 under the conditions specified in terms of the acquisition agreement. For the tranche 2 shares, the Company recorded a gain of $3.7 million in interest expense during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 in connection with the remeasurement of the liability, which reflects the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the subsidiary’s results in the first quarter of 2020 and resulted in a reduction to the liability for the tranche 2 shares. The $12.9 million liability for the tranche 2 shares at May 3, 2020 represents the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date, as the amount the Company estimates it would pay under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement if settlement had occurred as of May 3, 2020 of $12.1 million is less than the amount initially recorded. If the payment made for the tranche 2 shares at the settlement date is less than the liability recorded, the Company would record an extinguishment gain upon settlement.
The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $29.2 million as of May 3, 2020 based on exchange rates in effect on that date, of which $16.3 million related to the tranche 1 shares was included in accrued expenses and $12.9 million related to the tranche 2 shares was 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. In June 2019, the Company completed the sale of the 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 goodwill of $65.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments in the amounts of $56.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, which include the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets of $222.2 million consisted of reacquired perpetual license rights of $204.9 million, which are indefinite-lived, order backlog of $0.3 million, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over 0.5 years, and customer relationships of $17.0 million which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10.0 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of 2020.

Sale of the Speedo North America Business
The Company entered into a definitive agreement on January 9, 2020 to sell its Speedo North America business to Pentland, the parent company of the Speedo brand, for $170.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Company classified the assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 and recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $142.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 (including a $116.4 million noncash impairment charge related to the Speedo perpetual license right) to reduce the carrying value of the Speedo North America business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The estimated fair value, less costs to sell, reflected the amount of consideration the Company expected to receive upon closing of the transaction, inclusive of the working capital adjustment.
The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169.1 million, subject to a final adjustment based on terms of the agreement, and deconsolidated the net assets of the business. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of the loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to changes to the net assets of the Speedo North America business subsequent to February 2, 2020. The loss was recorded in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.
Upon the closing of the transaction, U.S.-based employees who were engaged primarily in the Speedo North America business terminated their employment with the Company. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned under its retirement plans. No further benefits will be accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. The gain was included in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 8, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” for further discussion.
The assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business classified as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and consisted of the following:
| (In millions) | ||||||||
| Assets held for sale: | ||||||||

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 May 3, 2020 was $(2.4) million, which is greater than the redemption amount. The carrying amount decreased from $(2.0) million as of February 2, 2020 as a result of a net loss attributable to the RNCI for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 of $0.4 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of May 5, 2019 was $(0.2) million.
6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $142.1 million, $176.3 million and $208.5 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, 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 owns an economic interest of approximately 8% in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). The Company determined that recent and projected business results for Karl Lagerfeld, which included an adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, was an indicator of an other-than-temporary impairment with respect to the Company’s investment in Karl Lagerfeld as of May 3, 2020. The Company calculated the fair value of its investment using future operating cash flow projections that were discounted at a rate of 10.9%, which accounted 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. The Company determined the fair value of its investment was lower than its carrying amount as of May 3, 2020, and as a result recorded a noncash other-than temporary impairment of $12.3 million to fully impair the investment during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The impairment was included in equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charge was recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments, consistent with how the Company has historically recorded its proportionate share of the net income or loss of its investment in Karl Lagerfeld.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, by segment (please see Note 18, “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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill.
Goodwill
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business during the first quarter of 2020, resulting in an unprecedented decline in revenue and earnings, and is driving an extended decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, the Company expects there will be a significant negative impact to its future earnings and cash flows. The Company determined that the impact of COVID-19 was a triggering event that required the Company to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test.
As a result of this interim test, the Company recorded $879.0 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020, which was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charges, which related to the Heritage Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Retail North America, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International reporting units, were recorded to the Company’s segments as follows: $197.7 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $287.3 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, and $394.0 million in the Calvin Klein International segment. The Company’s impairment assessment was performed in accordance with the accounting guidance adopted in the first quarter of 2020 that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment, as discussed in Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance.”
Of these reporting units, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International were determined to be only partially impaired. The remaining carrying amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units as of May 3, 2020 was $162.3 million, $143.4 million and $346.9 million, respectively. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumptions for these businesses would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $80.0 million, $20.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $60.0 million, $15.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively. While these reporting units were not determined to be fully impaired, they may be at risk of further impairment in the future in the event the related businesses do not perform as projected, including if they fail to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in long-term growth rates or the weighted average cost of capital.

With respect to the Company’s other reporting units that were not determined to be impaired, the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $2,948.5 million by 5%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of May 3, 2020 was $1,557.5 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Tommy Hilfiger International business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $355.0 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $320.0 million. While the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment in the event the related business does not perform as projected, including if it fails to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.
The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach and validated using a market approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at rates of 10.0%, 10.5% or 11.0%, depending on the reporting unit, to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, the Company used both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenue and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue and EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. The Company classified the fair values of its reporting units as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company also determined that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business was a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, Warner’s and Olga tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of the Company’s annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2019 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 85% as of the date of the Company’s 2019 annual test. Considering this and other factors, the Company determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required.
For the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, the Company recorded $47.2 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down the two tradenames. This included $35.6 million to write down the ARROW tradename, that had a carrying amount of $78.9 million, to a fair value of $43.3 million, and $11.6 million to write down the Geoffrey Beene tradename, that had a carrying amount of $17.0 million, to a fair value of $5.4 million. The $47.2 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to the Company’s Heritage Brands Wholesale segment. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Arrow business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5.0 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5.0 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis points change to the annual revenue growth rate or weighted average cost of capital in the Geoffrey Beene business would result in an immaterial change to the estimated fair value of the tradename.
With regard to the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, the Company determined that its fair value substantially exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the asset was not impaired.
The fair value of the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames was determined using an income-based relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the value of an asset is estimated based on the hypothetical cost savings that accrue as a result of
15
not having to license the tradename from another party. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames at a rate of 10.0%. The fair value of the Company’s reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition at a rate of 10.0%. The Company classified the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Additionally, the Company recorded $7.3 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down certain finite-lived customer relationship intangible assets, to a fair value of zero. These impairments were included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to the Company’s segments as follows: $4.7 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and $2.6 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment. The Company determined qualitatively that these assets, which have a relatively short remaining useful life, were not recoverable and, therefore, impaired due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the current and projected performance of the underlying businesses.
8. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company, as of May 3, 2020, 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 | SERP Plans | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | |||||||||||||||||||

| Total | $ | 4.4 | $ | 5.0 | $ | 2.2 | $ | 2.5 | |||||||||||||||
The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business to Pentland on April 6, 2020. Upon the closing of the transaction, U.S.-based employees who were engaged primarily in the Speedo North America business terminated their employment with the Company. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned under its retirement plans. No further benefits will be accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. The gain was included in
16
other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for further discussion of the sale of the Speedo North America business.
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 weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019.
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 Statements of Operations.
Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2020. 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 the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” The Company had $168.0 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.93%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $745.7 million.
The Company also has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under its new 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility, as discussed in the section entitled “2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility” below. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of or during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.
Additionally, the Company has the ability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $174.4 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 3, 2020 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $73.8 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.94%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $73.8 million.
Commercial Paper
The Company has the ability to issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $80.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of May 3, 2020, all of which matured in May 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed under the program as of May 3, 2020 was 2.05%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under the program during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $165.0 million.
The commercial paper program allows for borrowings of up to $675.0 million to the extent that the Company has borrowing capacity under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility included in the 2019 facilities (as defined below). Accordingly, the combined aggregate amount of (i) borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program and (ii) the revolving borrowings outstanding under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility at any one time cannot exceed $675.0 million. The maximum aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and the United States dollar-denominated portion of the revolving credit facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $659.9 million.
2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 8, 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2020 facility”). The Company may increase the commitment under the 2020 facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million, subject to certain customary conditions. The 2020 facility will mature on April 7, 2021. The
17
Company incurred $2.0 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of 2020, which are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement.
Currently, the Company’s obligations under the 2020 facility are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. However, within 120 days after the occurrence of a specified credit ratings decrease (as set forth in the 2020 facility), (i) the Company must cause each of its wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2020 facility and (ii) the Company and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).
The outstanding borrowings under the 2020 facility are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The borrowings under the 2020 facility bear an interest 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 2020 facility.
The initial applicable margin with respect to the borrowings will be 2.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.250% for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings will be adjusted based upon the Company’s public debt rating after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.
The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.
The 2020 facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio, which are subject to change in the event that, and in the same manner as, the minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio covenants under the 2019 facilities are amended. Refer to the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for discussion of an amendment to the 2019 facilities in June 2020. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2020 facility. 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.
The 2020 facility contains other customary events of default in addition to violations of covenants discussed above, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; 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 2020 facility).

Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.
As of May 3, 2020, the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2020 through 2025 were as follows:
| (In millions) | |||||
| Fiscal Year | Amount (1) | ||||
| Remainder of 2020 | $ | 10.2 | |||

| 2025 | — | ||||
(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 2020 through 2025 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facilities, 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and 3 5/8% senior euro notes due 2024 as of May 3, 2020 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.
As of May 3, 2020, 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 65% 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,
19
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 $1,558.4 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $168.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $24.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 3, 2020.
The terms of the TLA facilities require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended 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 payments of $3.4 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The Company made no payments on its term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 senior credit 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'
20
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 applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 3, 2020 was 1.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.250% 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 thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and/or May 5, 2019:

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in 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 require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. As of May 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under these facilities. Given the disruption to the Company’s business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, the Company amended these facilities in June 2020 to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants until the date on which a compliance certificate is delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (the “relief period”) unless the Company elects to terminate the relief period and satisfies the conditions for doing so (the “June 2020 Amendment”). The June 2020 Amendment provides for the following during the relief period, among other things: (i) suspension of compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (ii) suspension of the minimum interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (iii) addition of a minimum liquidity covenant of $400.0 million, (iv) addition of a restricted payment covenant and (v) imposition of stricter limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens. The limitation on restricted payments require that the Company suspend payments of dividends on its common stock and purchases of shares under its stock repurchase program during the relief
21
period. The June 2020 Amendment also provides that during the relief period the applicable margin will be increased 0.25%. In addition, under the June 2020 Amendment, in the event there is a specified credit ratings downgrade by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s during the relief period (as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment), within 120 days thereafter (i) the Company must cause each of its wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2019 facilities and (ii) the Company and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).
The Company expects to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under the 2019 facilities for at least the next 12 months based on its current forecasts. If the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business worsen and its earnings and operating cash flows do not start to recover as currently estimated by management, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with these financial covenants (as amended) in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain future waivers in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company was not able to maintain compliance or obtain a future covenant waiver under its credit facilities, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facilities.
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 €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued on April 24, 2020. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company incurred €2.8 million (approximately $3.0 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the issuance of the additional €175.0 million notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes. 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.
The Company’s financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of May 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements.
The Company also has standby letters of credit outside of its 2019 facilities primarily to collateralize the Company's insurance and lease obligations. The Company had $36.3 million of these standby letters of credit outstanding as of May 3, 2020.
Please see Note 9, “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 2, 2020 for further discussion of the Company’s debt.
10. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were 11.5% and 22.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 reflected a $(142.4) million income tax benefit recorded on $(1,239.6) million of pre-tax losses. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 reflected a $23.6 million income tax expense recorded on $105.2 million of pre-tax income.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the $879.0 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a 10.2% decrease in the Company’s effective income tax rate. The pre-tax goodwill
22
impairment charges were factored into the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and, as such, will have a corresponding impact on the Company’s quarterly effective income tax rates for the remainder of 2020.
The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly 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 recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing. During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, the Company dedesignated certain cash flow hedges due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the release of an immaterial gain from AOCL into the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company continues to believe that transactions relating to its other designated cash flow hedges are probable to occur as of May 3, 2020.
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 (i) €600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and (ii) €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued during the first quarter of 2020, (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), that were issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 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 $1,167.1 million and $1,209.7 million, respectively, as of May 3, 2020, $1,178.6 million and $1,038.5 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2020 and $1,144.1 million and $1,046.8 million, respectively, as of May 5, 2019. 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.
23
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:

underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCL for interest rate swap agreements at May 3, 2020 of $10.8 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:
| 5/3/20 | 2/2/20 | 5/5/19 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
25
There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value. As a result of the significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company determined that sufficient indicators existed to trigger the performance of an interim impairment analysis for certain of the Company’s non-financial assets as of May 3, 2020.
The following tables show the fair values of the Company’s non-financial assets that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Property, plant and equipment, net | N/A | N/A | — | — | 6.7 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $17.1 million was written down to a fair value of $1.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, primarily as a result of the adverse impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, on the Company’s retail stores with lease terms expiring by the end of fiscal 2021 with no intention of renewal, including temporary store closures and reduced traffic and consumer spending trends. 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.
Goodwill with a carrying amount of $1,531.6 million was written down to a fair value of $652.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
Tradenames with a carrying amount of $95.9 million were written down to a fair value of $48.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
Other intangible assets with a carrying amount of $7.3 million were written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
The Company’s equity method investment in Karl Lagerfeld with a carrying amount of $12.3 million was written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion.
The $961.8 million of impairment charges during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, of which $933.5 million was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments, $16.0 million was included in SG&A expenses, and $12.3 million was included in equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates. The $961.8 million of impairment charges was recorded to the Company’s segments as follows: $395.8 million in the Calvin Klein International segment, $293.1 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $249.6 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $4.1 million in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $3.8 million in the Heritage Brands Retail segment, $3.1 million in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment and $12.3 million was recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments.
26
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 thirteen weeks ended May 5, 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 (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”). 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 $6.7 million was written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 primarily in connection with the TH U.S. store closures and the closure of the Company’s CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring. 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 $83.7 million of impairment charges during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 were included in SG&A expenses, of which $48.6 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $32.2 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment and $2.9 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:
| 5/3/20 | 2/2/20 | 5/5/19 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 800.7 | $ | 800.7 | $ | 503.4 | $ | 503.4 | $ | 494.3 | $ | 494.3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short-term borrowings | 322.1 | 322.1 | 49.6 | 49.6 | 299.7 | 299.7 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt (including portion classified as current) | 2,867.8 | 2,759.6 | 2,707.7 | 2,869.7 | 2,790.4 | 2,907.7 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 Stock Incentive Plan (the “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 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 the 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 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Through May 3, 2020, the Company has granted under the Plan (i) service-based stock options, RSUs and restricted stock; and (ii) contingently issuable PSUs and RSUs. There was no restricted stock outstanding as of May 3, 2020.
According to the terms of the 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 (loss) income for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 included $10.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
27
The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were $1.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax (deficiencies) benefits of $(4.5) million and $1.3 million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively.
Stock Options
Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in 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 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 thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:
| 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | ||||||||||
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate | 0.53 | % | 2.34 | % | |||||||
| Weighted average expected stock option term (in years) | 6.25 | 6.25 | |||||||||
| Weighted average Company volatility | 44.77 | % | 28.03 | % | |||||||
| Expected annual dividends per share | $ | 0.15 | $ | 0.15 | |||||||
| Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option | $ | 20.14 | $ | 41.15 | |||||||
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 anticipated common stock cash dividend rate; the dividend assumption for the stock options granted during the first quarter of 2020 was not affected by the Company's suspension of its cash dividend beginning with the second quarter of 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, as such suspension was viewed as temporary.
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.

RSUs
RSUs granted to employees generally vest in equal annual installments commencing one year 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 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.

PSUs
Contingently issuable PSUs granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives since 2015 are subject to a -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 2017, the three-year performance period ended during the first quarter of 2020 and holders of the awards did not earn any shares since the market condition was not satisfied. 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 thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per PSU:
| 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | ||||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.20 | % | 2.26 | % | |||||||
| Expected Company volatility | 48.91 | % | 29.88 | % | |||||||
| Expected annual dividends per share | $ | 0.15 | $ | 0.15 | |||||||
| Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU | $ | 58.82 | $ | 129.46 | |||||||
The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for the term corresponding to the three-year performance-period. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the three-year performance-period. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s anticipated common stock cash dividend rate; the dividend assumption for the PSUs granted during the first quarter of 2020 was not affected by the Company's suspension of its cash dividend beginning with the second quarter of 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, as such suspension was viewed as temporary.
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 15.05% in 2020 and 6.20% in 2019 for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Acquisition of Treasury Shares
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.
The Company suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and the Company may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.
Repurchases under the program, when it is being used, 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.
During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, the Company purchased 1.4 million shares and 0.5 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $110.7 million and $61.2 million, respectively. As of May 3, 2020, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $572.6 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.
Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs and PSUs to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
Common Stock Dividends
The Company declared a $0.0375 per share dividend payable to its common stockholders of record as of March 4, 2020, in respect of which the Company made dividend payments totaling $2.7 million on March 31, 2020. Following the payment of the $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020, the Company suspended its dividends in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, dividend payments are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion. The Company declared two $0.0375 per share dividends payable to its common stockholders totaling $5.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019.

16. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computed its basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share as follows:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | |||||||||||
| (In millions, except per share data) | 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | |||||||||
| Net (loss) income attributable to PVH Corp. | $ | (1,096.8) | $ | 82.0 | |||||||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net (loss) income per common share | 71.4 | 75.2 | |||||||||
| Weighted average impact of dilutive securities | — | 0.7 | |||||||||
| Total shares for diluted net (loss) income per common share | 71.4 | 75.9 | |||||||||
| Basic net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp. | $ | (15.37) | $ | 1.09 | |||||||
| Diluted net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp. | $ | (15.37) | $ | 1.08 | |||||||
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were as follows:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | |||||||||||
| (In millions) | 5/3/20 | 5/5/19 | |||||||||
| Weighted average potentially dilutive securities | 2.0 | 0.5 | |||||||||
Diluted net loss per common share attributable to PVH Corp. for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 excluded all potentially dilutive securities because there was a net loss attributable to PVH Corp. for the period and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
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 (loss) income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSU awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of May 5, 2019 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these PSU awards was 0.4 million and 0.2 million as of May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.

19. GUARANTEES
The Company has guaranteed a portion of the debt of one of its joint ventures in India. The maximum amount guaranteed as of May 3, 2020 was approximately $10.7 million based on exchange rates in effect on that date. The guarantee is in effect for the entire term of the debt. The liability for this guarantee obligation was immaterial as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.
The Company has guaranteed to a financial institution the repayment of store security deposits in Japan paid to landlords on behalf of the Company. The amount guaranteed as of May 3, 2020 was approximately $5.4 million based on exchange rates in effect on that date. The Company has the right to seek recourse from the landlords for the full amount. The guarantees expire between 2022 and 2025. The liability for these guarantee obligations was immaterial as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.
The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts on behalf of certain other parties, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate.
20. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
The FASB issued in June 2016 an update to accounting guidance that introduces a new impairment model used to measure credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables. This update requires entities to record an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model that considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility, rather than the incurred loss model required under existing guidance. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified-retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of initially applying the update as a $1.0 million decrease to retained earnings with an offsetting decrease to other assets. Otherwise, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued in January 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment
37
charge, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the update, the goodwill impairment charge would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The impairment charge recognized, if any, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment in accordance with the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of May 3, 2020
The FASB issued in December 2019 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the existing guidance and clarifying and amending certain guidance to reduce diversity in practice. The update eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The update also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021, with early adoption permitted. Most amendments in the update are required to be adopted using a prospective approach, while other amendments must be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued in March 2020 an update related to the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in the update provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates if certain criteria are met. The amendments can be applied on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
21. OTHER COMMENTS
Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of the Company’s finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which the Company entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $13.8 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 (i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) LIBOR plus 4.00% thereafter. The Company received no principal payments during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The Company received principal payments of $0.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13.2 million, $13.4 million and $13.4 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively, and was included in other assets (current and non-current) in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company records warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, as a component of SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 totaled $79.6 million and $77.1 million, respectively, and included costs of $6.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 related to the consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America.
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through trade receivables from its customers and licensees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its trade receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. The allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $54.0 million and $21.1 million, respectively. The $32.9 million increase in the allowance was primarily due to the evaluation of certain customer and licensee account balances in connection with changes in their financial condition and/or developments regarding their credit, including the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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, which we licensed for North America and the Caribbean until April 6, 2020, 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 global apparel companies in the world and, in March 2020, we marked our 100-year anniversary as a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange. We manage a diversified brand portfolio, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene. We had a perpetual license for Speedo until April 6, 2020. 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 $9.9 billion in 2019, of which over 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN, together generated approximately 85% of our revenue.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in 2020.
Virtually all of our retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. Stores were closed for six weeks on average during the first quarter, with some stores beginning to reopen starting early in the second quarter. Approximately 85% of our retail stores globally have reopened as of the date of this report, although most are operating on reduced hours and occupancy levels. Our brick and mortar wholesale customers and licensing partners also experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the pandemic, resulting in a decrease in our revenue from these channels. Most of our brick and mortar wholesale customers have reopened the majority of their locations across all regions as of the date of this report. However, due to the significant levels of inventory that remain in their stores, the majority of our North American and European brick and mortar wholesale customers have stopped accepting shipments beginning in March, which has not materially improved into the second quarter.
In addition, COVID-19 has also impacted some of our suppliers, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors. With some of our partners operating at reduced capacity, we continue to monitor for any potential delays or disruptions in our supply chain and will implement mitigation plans if needed.
We have taken the following actions, which are ongoing, to reduce our operating expenses in response to COVID-19: (i) reducing payroll costs, including salary and incentive compensation reductions, furloughs, decreased working hours, and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of applicable government relief programs, and (ii) eliminating or reducing other discretionary and variable operating expenses, including marketing, travel, consulting services, and creative and design costs.
39
We have also taken actions to preserve liquidity and strengthen our financial flexibility. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.
COVID-19 resulted in an unprecedented decline in our revenue and earnings during the first quarter of 2020, including $962 million of pre-tax noncash impairment charges, primarily related to goodwill, as well as increases in our inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $59 million and $33 million, respectively.
While there is significant uncertainty as to the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the pandemic will continue to have a significant negative impact on our revenue and net income for the remainder of 2020. Even as government restrictions are lifted and retail stores reopen, the ongoing economic impacts and health concerns associated with the pandemic may continue to affect consumer behavior, spending levels, shopping preferences and tourism and could result in reduced traffic and consumer spending trends that adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, 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 1,820 Company-operated free-standing 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 our TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN trademarks and in the United States through our directly operated digital commerce sites for True&Co., Van Heusen, IZOD, and until April 6, 2020, Speedo. 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.
40
We have entered into the following transactions, which impact our results of operations and comparability among the periods, including our full year 2020 expectations as compared to full year 2019, as discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations” below:
•We entered into a definitive agreement on January 9, 2020 to sell our Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC (“Pentland”), the parent company of the Speedo brand, and completed the sale of the business on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169 million, subject to a final adjustment based on the terms of the agreement (the “Speedo transaction”). Upon the closing of the transaction, we deconsolidated the net assets of the Speedo North America business. We recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $142 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 in connection with the pending Speedo transaction consisting of (i) a noncash impairment of our perpetual license right for the Speedo trademark and (ii) a noncash loss to reduce the carrying value of the business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. We recorded an additional net pre-tax noncash loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 upon closing of the transaction. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
•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 order to consolidate the socks and hosiery businesses for all of our brands in the United States and Canada in a newly formed joint venture, PVH Legwear LLC (“PVH Legwear”), in which we own a 49% economic interest, and to bring in-house the international Calvin Klein socks and hosiery wholesale businesses. PVH Legwear was formed with a wholly owned subsidiary of our former Heritage Brands socks and hosiery licensee, and has licensed from us since December 2019 the rights to distribute and sell TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, IZOD, Van Heusen and Warner’s socks and hosiery in the United States and Canada. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $60 million during 2019 in connection with these agreements.
•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 and we now operate directly those businesses. 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, as a result of which we now operate directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in the Central and Southeast Asia market. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” 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 $83 million during 2019, including (i) a noncash gain of $113 million to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by (ii) $21 million of pre-tax costs, 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, and (iii) a $9 million expense recorded in interest expense, net resulting from the remeasurement of our mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. We recorded pre-tax income of $4 million in the first quarter of 2020 in interest expense, net resulting from the remeasurement of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition.
•We entered into a licensing agreement on May 30, 2019 with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”) 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 resulted in the discontinuation of our directly operated Calvin Klein North America women’s jeanswear wholesale business in 2019.
•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.
41
•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, (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. All costs related to this restructuring were incurred by the end of 2019. We recorded pre-tax costs of $103 million during 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, 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, $26 million of contract termination and other costs, $26 million of severance, $9 million of other noncash asset impairments and $13 million of inventory markdowns, of which $70 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2019.
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 revenue is unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Our earnings are similarly affected by foreign currency translation in periods that we generate income; however, in periods that we generate losses, as is currently expected in 2020, our results will be favorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate losses and unfavorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 50% of our 2019 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation. The United States dollar strengthened against most major currencies in the latter part of 2018 and in 2019, particularly the euro, which is the foreign currency in which we transact the most business. We currently expect foreign currency translation to have a slight negative impact on our revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019.
There is also a transactional impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. 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. The strengthening of the United States dollar against most major currencies in the latter part of 2018 and in 2019, particularly the euro, is expected to negatively impact our gross margin during 2020. 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. We currently expect a negative transactional impact on our net income in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Further, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1,125 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes that are held in the United States. The strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the carrying amount of these euro-denominated senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings at the end of each period is recorded in equity.
Retail comparable store sales refer to sales from Company-operated retail stores that have been open and operated by us 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 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 prolonged period of time 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. Due to the extensive store closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, retail comparable store sales are not reported for the first quarter of 2020, as we do not believe this metric is currently meaningful.
42
SEASONALITY
Absent the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, 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 seasonal factors, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, our results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2020 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2019
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2020 was $1.344 billion as compared to $2.356 billion in the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease in revenue of $1.012 billion, or 43%, was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and included the aggregate effect of the following items:
•The reduction of an aggregate $406 million of revenue, or a 39% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of 1% related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue decreased 32% (including a 2% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 51%.
•The reduction of an aggregate $413 million of revenue, or 46% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of 1% related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue decreased 40% (including a 2% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 54%.
•The reduction of an aggregate $194 million of revenue, or a 47% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments.
Our revenue in the first quarter of 2020 reflected a 47% increase in sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses driven by strong growth across all regions, which partially offset the decline in revenue through our other distribution channels.
There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact for 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the
businesses of our licensees and other business partners. We currently expect that revenue will decrease significantly in the second quarter and full year 2020 compared to 2019, inclusive of a negative impact related to foreign currency translation, primarily due to the negative impacts to our businesses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue for the full year 2020 is also expected to decrease by approximately $200 million due to the aggregate net effect of reductions resulting from (i) the Speedo transaction, which closed on April 6, 2020, and (ii) the G-III license, which commenced in 2019, partially offset by an addition of revenue resulting from (iii) the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 2019.
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 first quarter of 2020 was $666 million, or 49.5% of total revenue, as compared to $1.296 billion, or 55.0% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 550 basis point gross margin decrease was primarily driven by (i) additional inventory reserves recorded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the unfavorable impact of the stronger
43
United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory resulted in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods were sold.
There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact for 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the businesses of our licensees and other business partners. We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2020 will decrease as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) the need for increased promotional selling, inventory liquidation and additional inventory reserves as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the unfavorable impact of the stronger United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory results in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were $940 million, or 70.0% of total revenue, as compared to $1.161 billion, or 49.3% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The significant increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to (i) the deleveraging of expenses driven by the significant decline in revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of payroll costs incurred for certain retail associates who received full pay and benefits for certain periods while our retail stores were temporarily closed, (ii) the pre-tax noncash impairments of our store assets resulting from the impact of the pandemic on our business and (iii) additional accounts receivable reserves recorded as a result of the pandemic. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in expenses as a result of the cost savings initiatives we implemented in April 2020, including temporary furloughs, salary and incentive compensation reductions, government relief and lower discretionary spending, and (ii) the absence in 2020 of costs that were recorded in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring and the TH U.S. store closures.
In light of the negative impacts on our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking measures to significantly reduce SG&A expenses in 2020, including the cost savings initiatives we implemented in April 2020. As such, we currently expect our SG&A expenses for the full year 2020 will be significantly lower as compared to 2019, including as a result of the reduction in expenses resulting from these measures and the absence in 2020 of costs related to (i) the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) the Socks and Hosiery transaction and (iii) the TH U.S. store closures. However, we expect our SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2020 will significantly increase as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) a deleveraging of expenses driven by the expected decline in revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the pre-tax noncash impairments of our store assets resulting from the impact of the pandemic on our business, and (iii) the additional accounts receivable reserves recorded as a result of the pandemic. There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our SG&A expenses may be subject to significant material change.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Impairment
We recorded pre-tax noncash impairment charges of $933 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, including $879 million related to goodwill and $54 million related to other intangible assets, primarily our ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames. The impairments resulted from interim impairment assessments of our goodwill and other intangible assets, which we were required to perform in the first quarter of 2020 due to the adverse impact of the pandemic on our current and estimated future business results and cash flows, as well as the significant decrease in our market capitalization as a result of a sustained decline in our common stock price. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income
Non-service related pension and postretirement income in the first quarter of 2020 was $4 million as compared to $2 million in the first quarter of the prior year.
We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2020 will be approximately $16 million compared to non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) of $(90) million in 2019. Our 2019 non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) included a $98 million actuarial loss on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter. 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 expectation of 2020 non-
44
service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. However, if recent market volatility due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we may incur a significant actuarial loss in 2020 as a result of the difference between actual and expected returns on plan assets or if there is a decline in discount rates. Our actual 2020 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 first quarter of 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 Loss. net
We recorded a net pre-tax noncash loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the Speedo transaction. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Equity in Net (Loss) Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates was an $(11) million loss in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $4 million of income in the first quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of (loss) income from our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brands in Mexico, our joint ventures for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in India and Brazil, our joint venture for the CALVIN KLEIN brand in India, our PVH Legwear joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, IZOD, Van Heusen and Warner’s brands and other owned and licensed trademarks in the United States and Canada that began operations in December 2019, and PVH Australia (prior to acquiring it on May 31, 2019 through the Australia acquisition). Also included is our share of income (loss) from our investments in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”) and in Gazal (prior to acquiring it on May 31, 2019 through the Australia acquisition). The equity in net (loss) income for the first quarter of 2020 decreased as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) a $12 million pre-tax noncash impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld recorded in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and (ii) the absence in 2020 of income recognized in the first quarter of 2019 on our investments in Gazal and PVH Australia, prior to the closing of the Australia acquisition. 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 operations 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.
We currently expect that our equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for the full year 2020 will decrease as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) the impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld recorded in the first quarter of 2020, (ii) a reduction in income on our investments due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our unconsolidated affiliates’ businesses in 2020, partially offset by (iii) an increase in income on our investment in PVH Legwear as compared to 2019, as we recognize a full year of income in 2020.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased to $21 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $30 million in the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower interest rates on our senior unsecured credit facilities as compared to the prior year period and a gain of $4 million resulting from the remeasurement of our mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition.
We currently expect that net interest expense for the full year 2020 will increase as compared to 2019 primarily due (i) to the issuance in April 2020 of an additional €175 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 and (ii) an anticipated increase in borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, other short-term revolving credit facilities and unsecured commercial paper note program throughout 2020 as a result of the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, including significant reductions in our earnings and cash flows from operations.
45
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 11.5% compared to 22.4% in the first quarter of the prior year. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 reflected a $(142) million income tax benefit recorded on $(1.240) billion of pre-tax losses. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 reflected a $24 million income tax expense recorded on $105 million of pre-tax income.
Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the $879 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a 10.2% decrease in our effective income tax rate. The pre-tax goodwill impairment charges were factored into our annualized effective income tax rate and, as such, will have a corresponding impact on our quarterly effective income tax rates for the remainder of 2020.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments enacted, or are in the process of enacting, measures to provide aid and economic stimulus to companies. On March 27, 2020, the United States government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which includes various income tax provisions aimed at providing economic relief. We currently expect a slight favorable cash flow impact in 2020 as a result of the deferral of income tax payments under the CARES Act and other local government relief initiatives. We also considered the significant adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business in assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, we determined that no additional valuation allowances were needed against our deferred tax assets, however we will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our ability to realize our deferred tax assets.
We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly 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.
Given the significant uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we have not provided an estimate of our effective income tax rate for the full year 2020.
Our tax rate is affected by many factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, discrete events arising from specific transactions, and new regulations, as well as audits by tax authorities and the receipt of new information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions.
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.
The net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) in PVH Ethiopia was immaterial in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in 2020. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, we expect there will be a significant negative impact to our cash flows in 2020, resulting from a loss of revenue and earnings. Given the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we have taken the following actions to preserve liquidity and strengthen our financial flexibility:
•Suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program in mid-March, following $111 million in repurchases completed in the first quarter.
•Suspended our cash dividend beginning with the second quarter. Our first quarter cash dividend of $0.0375 per common share was paid on March 31, 2020.
•Entered into a new $275 million 364-day revolving credit facility.
46
•Issued an additional €175 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024.
•Obtained a waiver in June 2020 of the leverage and interest coverage ratios under our senior unsecured credit facilities (referred to as the “June 2020 Amendment”).
•Focused management of our working capital, with particular focus on tightly managing inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with our suppliers.
In addition, we closed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland for net proceeds of $169 million, subject to a final adjustment based on the terms of the agreement.
We ended the first quarter of 2020 with $801 million of cash on hand and approximately $1 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities. We believe that we have taken appropriate actions to manage through the uncertainty related to COVID-19 and are continuously reevaluating all aspects of our spending and cash flow generation as the situation evolves.
Cash Flow Summary
Cash and cash equivalents at May 3, 2020 was $801 million, an increase of $297 million from the amount at February 2, 2020 of $503 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) $111 million of common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program (with no further repurchases for the remainder of 2020), (ii) $169 million of net proceeds in connection with the Speedo transaction and (iii) $187 million of proceeds from the issuance of an additional €175M euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024.
Cash flow for the full year 2020 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted above and below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section. Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, our estimates of cash flows in 2020 may be subject to material significant change, including as a result of the impact of the pandemic on our 2020 earnings, additional borrowings under existing or new financing arrangements, excess inventories, delays in collection of, or inability to collect on, certain trade receivables, and other working capital changes that we may experience as a result of the pandemic.
As of May 3, 2020, approximately $511 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 used by operating activities was $143 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $73 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in cash used by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by a significant decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges, partially offset by a favorable change in our working capital primarily due to trade receivables. Our cash flows from operations in the first quarter of 2020 was significantly impacted by widespread temporary store closures and other significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic and preserve liquidity, we are focused on working capital management, in particular tightly managing inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with our suppliers.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2020 were $56 million compared to $77 million in the first quarter of 2019. We currently expect capital expenditures for the full year 2020 will decrease to approximately $190 million from $345 million in 2019, as we tightly manage spending to preserve liquidity in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and will include only certain minimum required expenditures in our retail stores and expenditures for projects currently in progress, primarily related to (i) investments to support the multi-year upgrade of our platforms and systems worldwide and (ii) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network.
47
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We currently expect to make a payment of approximately $2 million in the full year 2020 to our PVH Legwear joint venture to contribute our share of the joint venture funding.
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 (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 during the first quarter of 2019. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.
Speedo Transaction
We completed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169 million. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Dividends
Dividends on common stock totaled $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $6 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Following the payment of a $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020, we suspended our dividends, which have historically paid annual dividends of $0.15 per share of our common stock, in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, dividend payments are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for further discussion.
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. 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.
We suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for further discussion. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.
Repurchases under the program, when it is being used, 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.
During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we purchased approximately 1.4 million shares and 500,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $111 million and $61 million, respectively. Purchases of $2 million were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 5, 2019. Purchases of $500,000 that were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were paid in the first quarter of 2020. As of May 3, 2020, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $573 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 restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
48
Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
The Australia acquisition agreement provided for key members of Gazal and PVH Australia management to exchange a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares in our previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. We are 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 the holders had the option to defer half of this tranche to tranche 2; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. With respect to tranche 1, the holders elected not to defer their shares to tranche 2 and, as a result, we purchased all of the tranche 1 shares in June 2020. 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 liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $29 million as of May 3, 2020 based on exchange rates in effect on that date, of which $16 million was paid to the management shareholders in June 2020 for the purchase of the tranche 1 shares. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Short-Term Borrowings
We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” We had $168 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.93%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2020 was $746 million.
We also have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under our new 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility, as discussed in the section entitled “2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility” below. We had no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of or during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.
Additionally, we have the ability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $174 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 3, 2020 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $74 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.94%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2020 was $74 million.
Commercial Paper
We have the ability to issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $80 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of May 3, 2020, all of which matured in May 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed under the program as of May 3, 2020 was 2.05%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under the program during the first quarter of 2020 was $165 million.
The commercial paper program allows for borrowings of up to $675 million to the extent that we have borrowing capacity under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility included in the 2019 facilities (as defined below). Accordingly, the combined aggregate amount of (i) borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program and (ii) the revolving borrowings outstanding under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility at any one time cannot exceed $675 million. The maximum aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program
49
and the United States dollar-denominated portion of the revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2020 was $660 million.
2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 8, 2020, we entered into a 364-day $275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2020 facility”). We may increase the commitment under the 2020 facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million, subject to certain customary conditions. The 2020 facility will mature on April 7, 2021. We paid $2 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the 2020 facility.
Currently, our obligations under the 2020 facility are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. However, within 120 days after the occurrence of a specified credit ratings decrease (as set forth in the 2020 facility), (i) we must cause each of our wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2020 facility and (ii) we and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of our respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).
The outstanding borrowings under the 2020 facility are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The borrowings under the 2020 facility bear an interest 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 2020 facility.
The initial applicable margin with respect to the borrowings will be 2.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.250% for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings will be adjusted based upon our public debt rating after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.
We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 facility during the first quarter of 2020.
The 2020 facility requires us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio, which are subject to change in the event that, and in the same manner as, the minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio covenants under the 2019 facilities are amended. Refer to the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for discussion of an amendment to the 2019 facilities in June 2020.
Finance Lease Liabilities
Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $1 million in each of the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.
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
50
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 $1.558 billion, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $168 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $24 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 3, 2020.
The terms of the TLA facilities require us to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended 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 payments of $3 million on our term loans under the 2019 facilities during the first quarter of 2020, and we expect to make mandatory long-term debt repayments of approximately $14 million during the full year 2020. We made no payments on our term loans under the 2019 facilities and the 2016 facilities during the first quarter of 2019 other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 senior credit 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 applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 3, 2020 was 1.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.250% 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 interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the first quarter of 2020 and/or the first quarter of 2019:

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in 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.
Our 2019 facilities require us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. As of May 3, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under these facilities. Given the disruption to our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, we entered into the “June 2020 Amendment” to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants until the date on which a compliance certificate is delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (the “relief period”) unless we elect to terminate the relief period and satisfy the conditions for doing so. The June 2020 Amendment provides for the following during the relief period, among other things: (i) suspension of compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (ii) suspension of the minimum interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (iii) addition of a minimum liquidity covenant of $400 million, (iv) addition of a restricted payment covenant and (v) imposition of stricter limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens. The limitation on restricted payments require that we suspend payments of dividends on our common stock and purchases of shares under our stock repurchase program during the relief period. The June 2020 Amendment also provides that during the relief period the applicable margin will be increased 0.25%. In addition, under the June 2020 Amendment, in the event there is a specified credit ratings downgrade by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s during the relief period (as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment), within 120 days thereafter (i) we must cause each of our wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under our 2019 facilities and (ii) we and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of our respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).
We expect to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under our 2019 facilities for at least the next 12 months based on our current forecasts. If the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business worsen and our earnings and operating cash flows do not start to recover as currently estimated by us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with our financial covenants (as amended) in the future. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain future waivers in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to maintain compliance or obtain a future covenant waiver under our credit facilities, there can be no assurance that we would be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facilities.
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 €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued on April 24, 2020. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We paid €2 million (approximately $2 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the issuance of the additional €175 million notes. 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 May 3, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.
As of May 3, 2020, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a negative outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a stable outlook, and our commercial paper was rated A-3 by Standard & Poor’s and P-3 by Moody’s. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s considered, among other things, our capital structure and financial policies, our consolidated balance sheet, our historical acquisition activity and other financial information, as well as industry and other qualitative factors.
Please see Note 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 2020 through 2025.
Please see Note 9, “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 2, 2020 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 2, 2020.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
We assess the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill.
Goodwill
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on our business during the first quarter of 2020, resulting in an unprecedented decline in revenue and earnings, and is driving an extended decline in our stock price and associated market capitalization. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, we expect there will be a significant negative impact to our future earnings and cash flows. We determined that the impact of COVID-19 was a triggering event that required us to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test.
As a result of this interim test, we recorded $879 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020, which was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charges, which related to the Heritage Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Retail North America, Calvin Klein Wholesale
53
North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International reporting units, were recorded to our segments as follows: $198 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $287 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, and $394 million in the Calvin Klein International segment. Our impairment assessment was performed in accordance with the accounting guidance adopted in the first quarter of 2020 that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment, as discussed in Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance.”
Of these reporting units, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International were determined to be only partially impaired. The remaining carrying amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units as of May 3, 2020 was $162 million, $143 million and $347 million, respectively. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumptions for these businesses would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $80 million, $20 million and $140 million, respectively. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $60 million, $15 million and $125 million, respectively. While these reporting units were not determined to be fully impaired, they may be at risk of further impairment in the future in the event the related businesses do not perform as projected, including if they fail to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in long-term growth rates or the weighted average cost of capital.
With respect to our other reporting units that were not determined to be impaired, the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $2,949 million by 5%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of May 3, 2020 was $1,558 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Tommy Hilfiger International business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $355 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $320 million. While the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment in the event the related business does not perform as projected, including if it fails to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.
The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach and validated using a market approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at rates of 10%, 10.5% or 11%, depending on the reporting unit, to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, we used both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenue and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue and EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. We classified the fair values of our reporting units as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
We also determined that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business was a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, Warner’s and Olga tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, we elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2019 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 85% as of the date of our 2019 annual test. Considering this and other factors, we determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required.
For the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, we recorded $47 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down the two tradenames. This included $36 million to write down the ARROW tradename, that
54
had a carrying amount of $79 million, to a fair value of $43 million, and $12 million to write down the Geoffrey Beene tradename, that had a carrying amount of $17 million, to a fair value of $5 million. The $47 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to our Heritage Brands Wholesale segment. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Arrow business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis points change to the annual revenue growth rate or weighted average cost of capital in the Geoffrey Beene business would result in an immaterial change to the estimated fair value of the tradename.
With regard to the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, we determined that its fair value substantially exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the asset was not impaired.
The fair value of the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames was determined using an income-based relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the value of an asset is estimated based on the hypothetical cost savings that accrue as a result of not having to license the tradename from another party. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. We discounted the cash flows used to value the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames at a rate of 10%. The fair value of our reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. We discounted the cash flows used to value the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition at a rate of 10%. We classified the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
We adopted, effective the first quarter of 2020, accounting guidance related to credit losses, that introduces a new impairment model used to measure credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables. This guidance requires entities to record an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model that considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility, rather than the incurred loss model required under previous guidance. We also adopted, effective the first quarter of 2020, accounting guidance related to goodwill impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment charge, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Please see Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, 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 2, 2020, except for the items mentioned above.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Financial instruments held by us as of May 3, 2020 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 May 3, 2020. 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 May 3, 2020, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $800,000 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 May 3, 2020, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, approximately 65% 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 May 3, 2020, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $500,000 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 $9.909 billion of revenue in 2019 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 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 Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Our results of operations will be similarly affected by foreign currency translation in periods that we generate net income; however, in periods that we generate net losses, as is currently expected in 2020, our results of operations will be favorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate losses and unfavorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies.
We currently expect foreign currency translation to have a slight negative impact on our revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019.
In the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $113 million within other comprehensive (loss) income principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro of 2% since February 2, 2020. 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 36% of our $6.1 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of May 3, 2020. 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. 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
56
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.
We currently expect a negative transactional impact on our net income in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at May 3, 2020, the effect of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of approximately $95 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 €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. 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 $120 million. Any change in the fair value of the net investment hedges would be more than offset by a change in the value of our investments in certain of our European subsidiaries. Additionally, during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on our euro-denominated senior notes, whereas during times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on these notes.
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 2020 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $7 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2020 net benefit cost of approximately $45 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.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently undertaking a major multi-year SAP S/4 implementation to upgrade our platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation will occur in phases over the next several years. We successfully launched the Global Finance functionality on the SAP S/4 platform in Asia and North America in the first quarter of 2020.
As a result of this multi-year implementation, we expect certain changes to our processes and procedures, which in turn, could result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. While we expect this implementation to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal controls over financial reporting as processes and procedures in the affected areas evolve. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems and hardware, please refer to risk factor “We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach” in Item 1A.

(1) 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. We suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted through and including the first quarter of 2021. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.
(2) Our Stock Incentive Plan provides us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirements by tendering previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the first quarter of 2020 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.
