SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements relating to our future revenue, earnings and cash flows, plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy, and some of which might not be anticipated, including, without limitation, (i) our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at our discretion; (ii) our ability to realize anticipated benefits and savings from restructuring and similar plans, such as the workforce reductions in North America and certain international markets, the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business by mid-2021 and the reductions in our office and store real estate footprint, all as previously announced; (iii) we may be considered to be highly leveraged and we use a significant portion of our cash flows to service our indebtedness, as a result of which we might not have sufficient funds to operate our businesses in the manner we intend or have operated in the past; (iv) the levels of sales of our apparel, footwear and related products, both to our wholesale customers and in our retail stores and our directly operated digital commerce sites, the levels of sales of our licensees at wholesale and retail, and the extent of discounts and promotional pricing in which we and our licensees and other business partners are required to engage, all of which can be affected by weather conditions, changes in the economy, fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, repositionings of brands by our licensors, consumer sentiment and other factors; (v) our ability to manage our growth and inventory; (vi) quota restrictions, the imposition of safeguard controls and the imposition of new or increased duties or tariffs on goods from the countries where we or our licensees produce goods under our trademarks, any of which, among other things, could limit the ability to produce products in cost-effective countries, or in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed, or require us to absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability; (vii) the availability and cost of raw materials; (viii) our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations and the migration and development of manufacturers (which can affect where our products can best be produced); (ix) the regulation or prohibition of the transaction of business with specific individuals or entities and their affiliates or goods manufactured in (or containing raw materials or components from) certain regions, such as the listing of a person or entity as a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the issuance of Withhold Release Orders by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol; (x) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability in any of the countries where our or our licensees’ or other business partners’ products are sold, produced or are planned to be sold or produced; (xi) disease epidemics and health-related concerns, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in (and, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, has resulted in some of the following) supply-chain disruptions due to closed factories, reduced workforces and production capacity, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in affected areas, closed stores, reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers become ill or limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure, or governments implement mandatory business closures, travel restrictions or the like to prevent the spread of disease, and market or other changes that could result (or, with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, could continue to result) in noncash impairments of our goodwill and other intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property, plant and equipment; (xii) acquisitions and divestitures and issues arising with acquisitions, divestitures and proposed transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to integrate an acquired entity or business into us with no substantial adverse effect on the acquired entity’s, the acquired business’s or our existing operations, employee relationships, vendor relationships, customer relationships or financial performance, and the ability to operate effectively and profitably our continuing businesses after the sale or other disposal of a subsidiary, business or the assets thereof; (xiii) the failure of our licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of our brands, or their misuse of our brands; (xiv) significant fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we transact significant levels of business; (xv) our retirement plan expenses recorded throughout the year are calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions, and differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses, which can be significant, that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year; (xvi) the impact of new and revised tax legislation and regulations; and (xvii) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We do not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, any estimate regarding revenue, earnings or cash flows, whether as a result of the receipt of new information, future events or otherwise.

PVH CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company with a brand portfolio consisting of nationally and internationally recognized trademarks, including TOMMY HILFIGER, Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene, which are owned, as well as various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands. The Company designs and markets branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, neckwear, 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 Company also licensed Speedo for North America and the Caribbean until April 6, 2020, on which date 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 licensed the Speedo trademark.

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 25% proportionate share 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 January 31, 2021.

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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic and 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 has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations.

The Company's retail stores have been, and continue to be, impacted by temporary closures, reduced hours and reduced occupancy as a result of the pandemic. Virtually all of the Company's retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the first quarter and into the second quarter of 2020, but had reopened by mid-June 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company's retail stores have continued to face significant pressure as a result of the pandemic, including additional temporary store closures, particularly in Europe, Canada and Japan. In addition, the Company's North America retail

stores have been, and continue to be, challenged by the lack of international tourists coming to the United States, as stores located in international tourist destinations represent a significant portion of that business.

The Company's brick and mortar wholesale customers and licensing partners also have experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the pandemic, with several of the Company's North America wholesale customers filing for bankruptcy in 2020. The Company's wholesale customers and franchisees globally generally have experienced temporary store closures at the same time as the Company. The elevated inventory levels in their stores as a result of the temporary closures, as well as lower traffic and consumer demand throughout, resulted in a sharp reduction in shipments to these customers in 2020.

In addition, the pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, the Company’s supply chain partners, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors, as well as the supply chains of its licensees. These supply chains have experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, disruptions as a result of closed factories or factories operating with reduced workforce or other logistics constraints due to the impact of the pandemic.

The Company took certain actions during 2020 to preserve its liquidity and strengthen its financial flexibility. The Company suspended share repurchases under its stock repurchase program and suspended its dividend in March 2020. It entered into an amendment to its senior unsecured credit facilities in June 2020 under which it is not permitted to resume share repurchases or payments of dividends until after the relief period (as defined). In addition, the Company took certain other actions starting in the first quarter of 2020 to (i) reduce payroll costs, through temporary furloughs, salary and incentive compensation reductions, decreased working hours and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of COVID-related government payroll subsidy programs, primarily in international jurisdictions, (ii) eliminate or reduce expenses in all discretionary spending categories, (iii) reduce rent expense through rent abatements negotiated with landlords for certain of its retail stores affected by temporary closures, (iv) reduce working capital, with a particular focus on tightly managing its inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, increasing promotional selling, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as extending payment terms with its suppliers and (v) reduce capital expenditures. The Company also announced in July 2020 plans to streamline its North American operations to better align its business with the evolving retail landscape, including (i) a reduction in its office workforce by approximately 450 positions, or 12%, across all three brand businesses and corporate functions, which is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $80 million, and (ii) the exit from its Heritage Brands Retail business by mid-2021. In addition, the Company announced in March 2021 plans to reduce its workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, which are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $60 million.

In April 2020, the Company entered into a $275.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility, which was replaced in April 2021 with a new $275.0 million 364-day facility, and issued an additional €175.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024. In July 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due 2025. Further, 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 on trade receivables. The Company recorded an additional noncash impairment charge of $58.7 million related to store assets in the fourth quarter of 2020. 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 recorded in the first quarter of 2020, 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 received. In particular, there continues to be uncertainty about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and, if economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover consistent with management’s expectations, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations may be materially and adversely impacted.

2. REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of finished products under its owned trademarks through its wholesale and retail operations. The Company also generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing the rights to its trademarks to third parties. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.

Product Sales

The Company generates revenue from the wholesale distribution of its products to traditional retailers (including for sale through their digital commerce sites), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon receipt of goods by the customer. Payment is typically due within 30 to 90 days. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, sales allowances and other discounts that the Company offers to its wholesale customers. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience and specific customer arrangements and estimates sales allowances and other discounts based on seasonal negotiations, historical experience and an evaluation of current market conditions.

The Company also generates revenue from the retail distribution of its products through its freestanding stores, shop-in-shop/concession locations and digital commerce sites. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale in the stores and shop-in-shop/concession locations and upon estimated time of delivery for sales through the Company’s digital commerce sites, at which point control of the products passes to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience. 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 and on certain of its digital commerce sites. 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 2, 2021, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $1.1 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize $188.7 million as revenue during the remainder of 2021, $231.2 million in 2022 and $688.2 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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 were as follows:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(In millions)	5/2/21		5/3/20
Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period	$	55.8	$	64.7

Net additions to deferred revenue during the period	31.1		29.6
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period (1)	(40.5)		(42.6)
Deferred revenue balance at end of period	$	46.4	$	51.7

(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 $12.9 million, $13.4 million and $9.7 million as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, 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 19, “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

Australia Acquisition

The Company acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% ownership interest 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.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia exchanged a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. The Company was 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; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares was 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 was 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 was adjusted each reporting period to its redemption value based on conditions that existed as of each subsequent balance sheet date, provided that the liability could not be adjusted below the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date. The Company recorded any such adjustments to the liability in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest, which reflected 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.

For the tranche 1 shares, the measurement period ended in 2019. The Company paid the management shareholders an aggregate purchase price of $17.3 million (based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) for these shares in June 2020 under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement. For the tranche 2 shares, the measurement period ended in 2020 and the Company had accrued a $24.5 million liability for these shares as of May 2, 2021 (based on exchange rates in effect on that date), which was subsequently paid to the management shareholders in June 2021 under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement.

The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $24.5 million, $24.1 million and $29.2 million as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively, based on exchange rates in effect on those dates. The following table summarizes the presentation of the liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	Liabilities
	5/2/21				1/31/21				5/3/20
(In millions)	Accrued Expenses		Other Liabilities		Accrued Expenses		Other Liabilities		Accrued Expenses		Other Liabilities
Tranche 1 shares	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	16.3	$	—
Tranche 2 shares	24.5		—		24.1		—		—		12.9
Mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest liability	$	24.5	$	—	$	24.1	$	—	$	16.3	$	12.9

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 in 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 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, based on the terms of the agreement. 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 are being 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.

5. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company and Arvind formed PVH Ethiopia, in which the Company owns a 75% interest, during the second quarter of 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 2, 2021 was $(3.6) million, which was greater than the redemption amount. The carrying amount decreased from $(3.4) million as of January 31, 2021 as a result of a net loss attributable to the RNCI for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 of $(0.2) million. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of May 3, 2020 was $(2.4) million.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $159.1 million, $164.0 million and $142.1 million as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received dividends of $9.2 million from these investments during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021.

The Company owns an economic interest of approximately 8% in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). The Company is deemed to have significant influence with respect to this investment and had been accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting prior to the first quarter of 2020. The Company determined during the first quarter of 2020 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. 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 during the first quarter of 2020 to fully impair the investment. The impairment was included in equity in net income (loss) 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. Following the impairment of its investment in Karl Lagerfeld, the Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting to this investment and will not record its share of net income or losses from Karl Lagerfeld in the Company’s consolidated financial statements until such time that the Company’s share of net income from Karl Lagerfeld equals the share of net losses that were not recognized during the period the equity method was discontinued.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, by segment (please see Note 19, “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
Balance as of January 31, 2021
Goodwill, gross	$	781.8	$	902.8	$	203.0	$	1,748.0	$	197.7	$	11.9	$	3,845.2
Accumulated impairment losses	(287.3)		(394.0)		—		—		(197.7)		(11.9)		(890.9)
Goodwill, net	494.5		508.8		203.0		1,748.0		—		—		2,954.3
Currency translation	0.2		(0.4)		—		(6.7)		—		—		(6.9)
Balance as of May 2, 2021
Goodwill, gross	782.0		902.4		203.0		1,741.3		197.7		11.9		3,838.3
Accumulated impairment losses	(287.3)		(394.0)		—		—		(197.7)		(11.9)		(890.9)
Goodwill, net	$	494.7	$	508.4	$	203.0	$	1,741.3	$	—	$	—	$	2,947.4

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. Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 for discussion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets impairment testing process.

The Company determined in the first quarter of 2020 that the significant adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, including an unprecedented material decline in revenue and earnings and an extended decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization, was a triggering event that required the Company to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test. As a result of the interim test performed, the Company recorded $879.0 million of noncash impairment charges in the first quarter of 2020, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated 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. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” 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 January 31, 2021 for further discussion of these impairment charges. The Company recorded no further impairments of goodwill in 2020.

The Company also determined in the first quarter of 2020 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 intangible assets. As a result of the interim test performed, the Company recorded $47.2 million of noncash impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets and $7.3 million of noncash impairment charges related to finite-lived intangible assets in the first quarter of 2020, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to the Company’s segments as follows: $51.9 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and $2.6 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” 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 January 31, 2021 for further discussion of these impairment charges. The Company recorded no further impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets or finite-lived intangible assets in 2020.

There have been no significant events or change in circumstances during the first quarter of 2021 that would indicate the remaining carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives may be impaired as of May 2, 2021. There continues to be uncertainty about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. If economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management or market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, the Company could incur additional goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges in the future.

8. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company, as of May 2, 2021, has two 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. The plans also provide participants with the option to receive their benefits in the form of lump sum payments. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Pension Plans.”

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

–A plan for certain 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 senior executives (Mr. Chirico, the Company’s Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, is the only actively employed participant in this program). 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)	5/2/21		5/3/20			5/2/21		5/3/20

Service cost	$	10.4	$	11.1		$	1.4	$	1.9
Interest cost	6.2		6.4			0.9		0.9
Expected return on plan assets	(11.1)		(10.9)			—		—

Speedo deconsolidation gain	—		(2.2)			—		(0.6)



Total	$	5.5	$	4.4		$	2.3	$	2.2

The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business to Pentland in the first quarter of 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 are being accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 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 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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020.

The components of net benefit cost are recorded in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: (i) the service cost component is recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, (ii) the Speedo deconsolidation gain component is recorded in other noncash loss, net, and (iii) the other components are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income.

Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2021. 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 had $13.8 million of borrowings outstanding under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies as of May 2, 2021. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 2, 2021 was 0.18%. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $248.9 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 2, 2021 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 was $14.1 million.

2021 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 28, 2021, the Company replaced its 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility, which matured on April 7, 2021 (the “2020 facility”), with a new 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 facility”). The 2021 facility will mature on April 27, 2022. The Company incurred $0.9 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction, which are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021.

The borrowings under the 2021 facility bear interest at variable rates calculated in a manner consistent with the 2020 facility. The current applicable margin with respect to the borrowings is 1.625% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.625% for base rate loans, which reflects an additional 0.25% during the relief period (as defined below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”). The applicable margin for borrowings 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, except during the relief period (as defined below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”), 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 2021 facility is subject to other terms and conditions and financial and non-financial covenants consistent with the 2020 facility. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 for further discussion of the 2020 facility.

Long-Term Debt

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


(In millions)	5/2/21		1/31/21		5/3/20

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

Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020.

The Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2021 through 2026 were as follows as of May 2, 2021:


(In millions)
Fiscal Year	Amount (1)
Remainder of 2021	$	18.9
2022	37.8
2023	145.3
2024	1,639.6
2025	500.0
2026	—

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

Total debt repayments for the remainder of 2021 through 2026 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facilities, 7 3/4% debentures due 2023, 3 5/8% senior euro notes due 2024 and 4 5/8% senior notes due 2025 as of May 2, 2021 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

As of May 2, 2021, 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 75% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

The Company has senior unsecured credit facilities due April 29, 2024 (the “2019 facilities”) that 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. Borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at variable rates calculated in the manner set forth in the terms of the 2019 facilities.

The Company had loans outstanding of $1,103.3 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, no borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $17.7 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 2, 2021.

The Company made payments totaling $503.7 million and $3.4 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 2, 2021 was 1.625% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.625% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans, which reflects an increase of 0.25% as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment (as defined below). 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, except during the relief period (as defined below), 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 2, 2021 and/or May 3, 2020:


(In millions)
Designation Date	Commencement Date	Initial Notional Amount		Notional Amount Outstanding as of May 2, 2021		Fixed Rate	Expiration Date
March 2020	February 2021	$	50.0	$	50.0	0.562%	February 2023

June 2017	February 2018	306.5		—		1.566%	February 2020

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. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2019 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt. 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 earlier 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, the (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 requires that the Company suspend payments of dividends on its common stock and purchases of shares under its 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) 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 in favor of the collateral agent on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions). As of May 2, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants (as amended) under these facilities.

The Company expects to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under the 2019 facilities based on its current forecasts. If the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business worsen and its earnings and operating cash flows do not 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 the 2019 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 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. The Company paid €2.8 million ($3.0 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees 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.

4 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2025

The Company issued on July 10, 2020, $500.0 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 10, 2025. The Company paid $6.2 million of fees in connection with the issuance of the 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 June 10, 2025 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after June 10, 2025 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027

The Company has outstanding €600.0 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company’s financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of May 2, 2021, 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 $49.7 million of these standby letters of credit outstanding as of May 2, 2021.

Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 for further discussion of the Company’s debt.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 were 40.7% and 11.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 reflected a $68.3 million income tax expense recorded on $168.0 million of pre-tax income. 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 2, 2021 was higher than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) and the mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax results.

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 the impact of the $879.0 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges recorded during the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and factored into the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate, and resulted in a decrease to the Company’s effective income tax rate of 10.2%.

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 SAR, 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, and the 2021 facility. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to its term loans under the 2019 facilities. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 2021 facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion of the 2019 facilities, the 2021 facility 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 2, 2021.

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 principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and (ii) €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 (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 $1,510.8 million and $1,346.7 million, respectively, as of May 2, 2021, $1,514.2 million and $1,351.9 million, respectively, as of January 31, 2021 and $1,167.1 million and $1,209.7 million, respectively, as of May 3, 2020. 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 foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to third party and intercompany transactions, and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying balances.

The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	Assets												Liabilities

The notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $1,268.7 million at May 2, 2021. Such contracts expire principally between May 2021 and October 2022.

The following tables summarize the effect of the Company’s hedges designated as cash flow and net investment hedging instruments:

Interest rate swap agreements	(1.1)		(1.7)		Interest expense	30.5		22.5
Total	$	0.9	$	0.5

A net loss in AOCL on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at May 2, 2021 of $29.5 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations to cost of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCL for interest rate swap agreements at May 2, 2021 of $2.4 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.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s undesignated contracts recognized in SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	$	(3.6)	$	0.6

The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk-related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of May 2, 2021.

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:


	5/2/21						1/31/21						5/3/20
(In millions)	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total

Interest rate swap agreements	N/A	3.4		N/A	3.4		N/A	4.7		N/A	4.7		N/A	13.5		N/A	13.5


Total Liabilities	N/A	$	17.9	N/A	$	17.9	N/A	$	35.7	N/A	$	35.7	N/A	$	16.2	N/A	$	16.2

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

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

The 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.

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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, 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
5/2/21	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Operating lease right-of-use assets	N/A	N/A	$	—	$	—	$	17.8
Property, plant and equipment, net	N/A	N/A	—		—		10.3

Other intangible assets, net	N/A	N/A	—		—		7.3
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates	N/A	N/A	—		—		12.3

Operating lease right-of-use assets with a carrying amount of $17.8 million and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $10.3 million were written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 as a result of actions taken by the Company to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space. Please see Note 16, “Exit Activity Costs,” for further discussion of these restructuring activities. Fair value of the Company's operating lease right-of-use assets was determined based on the discounted cash flows of estimated sublease income using market participant assumptions, which considered the short length of the remaining lease term and current real estate trends and market conditions. 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 market participant assumptions.

The $28.1 million of impairment charges during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments.

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 due to the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic 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, occupancy 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 asset impairments, $16.0 million was included in SG&A expenses, and $12.3 million was included in equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates. The $961.8 million of impairment charges were 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.

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:


	5/2/21				1/31/21				5/3/20
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	913.2	$	913.2	$	1,651.4	$	1,651.4	$	800.7	$	800.7
Short-term borrowings	13.8		13.8		—		—		322.1		322.1

Long-term debt (including portion classified as current)	3,044.6		3,289.1		3,554.8		3,806.8		2,867.8		2,759.6

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 2, 2021, 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 or contingently issuable RSUs outstanding as of May 2, 2021.

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 income (loss) for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 included $10.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 were $3.6 million and

$1.7 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax deficiencies of $0.1 million and $4.5 million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying stock option award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:


	5/2/21			5/3/20
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	1.24		%	0.53		%
Weighted average expected stock option term (in years)	6.25			6.25
Weighted average Company volatility	47.58		%	44.77		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15		$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	48.28		$	20.14

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 anticipated common stock cash dividend rate for the Company at the time of grant; the dividend assumption for the stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 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 and as a condition of the June 2020 Amendment, as such suspension is 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. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

Stock option activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per stock option data)	Stock Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option
Outstanding at January 31, 2021	1,028	$	98.23
Granted	96	104.30
Exercised	33	95.11
Cancelled	40	117.29
Outstanding at May 2, 2021	1,051	$	98.15
Exercisable at May 2, 2021	657	$	107.77

RSUs

RSUs granted to employees generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant, although the Company does make from time to time, and currently has outstanding, RSUs with different vesting schedules. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full one year after the date of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements for employees 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.

RSU activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per RSU data)	RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU
Non-vested at January 31, 2021	1,470	$	78.80
Granted	272	104.30
Vested	238	102.93
Cancelled	29	81.60
Non-vested at May 2, 2021	1,475	$	79.54

PSUs

Outstanding contingently issuable PSUs granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives are subject to a three-year performance period. For such awards, the final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period, of which 50% is based upon the Company’s absolute stock price growth during the applicable performance period and 50% is based upon the Company’s total shareholder return during the applicable performance period relative to other companies included in the S&P 500 as of the date of grant. For awards granted in 2018, the three-year performance period ended during the first quarter of 2021 and holders of the awards did not earn any shares since the market conditions were 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 the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per PSU. No PSUs were granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021:


	5/3/20
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	0.20		%
Weighted average Company volatility	48.91		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU	$	58.82

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 anticipated common stock cash dividend rate for the Company at the time of grant.

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 weighted average grant date fair value was discounted 15.05% in 2020 for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

PSU activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per PSU data)	PSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU
Non-vested at January 31, 2021	237	$	96.48
Granted	—	—
Reduction due to market conditions not satisfied	41	158.97
Vested	—	—
Cancelled	—	—
Non-vested at May 2, 2021	196	$	83.30

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 March 2020, following the purchase of 1.4 million shares in open market transactions for $110.7 million completed earlier in the first quarter of 2020, in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, the Company is not permitted to make share repurchases 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. As of May 2, 2021, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $572.6 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.

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.

Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs 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. The Company suspended its dividends following the payment of the $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay dividends during the relief period. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion.

17. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company computed its basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share as follows:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(In millions, except per share data)	5/2/21		5/3/20

Net income (loss) attributable to PVH Corp.	$	99.9	$	(1,096.8)

Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net income (loss) per common share	71.2		71.4

Diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to PVH Corp.	$	1.38	$	(15.37)

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

Thirteen Weeks Ended

(In millions)

5/3/20

Weighted average potentially dilutive securities

0.7

2.0

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 income (loss) per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSU awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share for each applicable period. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 0.1 million and 0.4 million as of May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.

18. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Noncash Investing and Financing Transactions

Omitted from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 were capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment of $25.1 million and $28.7 million, respectively, that were accrued and not yet paid as of the end of the respective periods.

The Company completed the Australia acquisition in the second quarter of 2019. Total acquisition consideration included the issuance to key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia of approximately 6% of the outstanding shares in the subsidiary of the Company that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business, for which the Company recognized a $26.2 million liability on the date of the acquisition. In subsequent periods, the liability was adjusted each reporting period to its redemption value based on conditions that existed as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The Company settled in June 2020 a portion of the liability for the 6% interest issued to key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement. The Company had a remaining liability of $24.5 million as of May 2, 2021 (based on exchange rates in effect on that date), which was subsequently settled in June 2021. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for further discussion of this liability.

Omitted from net proceeds from short-term borrowings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs

incurred in connection with the Company’s 2021 facility and 2020 facility, respectively, that were accrued and not yet paid as of the end of the respective periods.

Omitted from proceeds from 3 5/8% senior notes, net of related fees in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 were $0.7 million of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance in April 2020 of €175.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 that were accrued and not yet paid as of May 3, 2020.

Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities	49.6		89.0
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities	1.8		1.7

The Company has sought concessions from landlords for certain of its stores affected by temporary closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of rent deferrals or rent abatements. Consistent with updated guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in April 2020, the Company elected to treat COVID-19 related rent concessions as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. As such, rent abatements negotiated with landlords are recorded as a reduction to variable lease expense included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded $8.6 million and $12.4 million of rent abatements during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. Rent deferrals have no impact to lease expense and amounts deferred and payable in future periods are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

21. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

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 Company adopted the update in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of the update did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of May 2, 2021

The FASB issued in March 2020 an update to provide temporary optional guidance intended to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments in the update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 were effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The adoption of the update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

22. 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 principal payments of $2.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021. The Company received no principal payments during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $10.4 million, $12.6 million and $13.2 million as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, 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 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 totaled $82.9 million and $79.6 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. An allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $69.8 million, $69.6 million and $54.0 million as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded a $32.9 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, 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. and Geoffrey Beene 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, with a history going back 140 years. 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, which are owned, as well as various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands. We had a perpetual license for Speedo in North America and the Caribbean until April 6, 2020.

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.

We generated revenue of $7.1 billion and $9.9 billion in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Over 60% of our revenue in 2020 and over 50% of our revenue in 2019 was generated outside of the United States. Our business was significantly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, resulting in an unprecedented material decline in revenue. Our global lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, accounted for over 85% of our revenue during 2020 and 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations.

Our retail stores have been, and continue to be, impacted by temporary closures, reduced hours and limited occupancy as a result of the pandemic:

•Virtually all of our retail stores were closed for six weeks on average in the first quarter of 2020 but had reopened by mid-June 2020.

•During the first quarter of 2021, our retail stores continued to face significant pressure as a result of the pandemic, including additional temporary store closures, for a significant percentage of our stores in Europe, Canada and Japan.

In addition, our North America retail stores have been, and continue to be, challenged by the lack of international tourists coming to the United States, as stores located in international tourist destinations represent a significant portion of that business.

Our brick and mortar wholesale customers and licensing partners also have experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the pandemic, with several of our North America wholesale customers filing for bankruptcy in 2020. Our wholesale customers and franchisees globally generally have experienced temporary store closures at the same time as us. Although most of our wholesale customers’ and franchisees’ stores had reopened the majority of their locations across all regions by mid-June

2020, there was a significant level of inventory that remained in their stores. The elevated inventory levels, as well as lower traffic and consumer demand, resulted in a sharp reduction in shipments to these customers in 2020.

Our digital channels, which have historically represented a less significant portion of our overall business, experienced strong growth during 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, both with respect to sales to our traditional and pure play wholesale customers, as well as within our own directly operated digital commerce businesses across all brand businesses and regions. While we expect digital growth will be less pronounced for the remainder of 2021 as stores reopen, our digital penetration as a percentage of total revenue is expected to remain consistent.

In addition, the pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, our supply chain partners, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors, as well as the supply chains of our licensees. A current vessel and container shortage globally, as well as factory delays as a result of resurgences in COVID-19 cases in some of our key sourcing countries, particularly in India, has delayed and is expected to continue to delay inventory orders and, in turn, deliveries to our wholesale customers and availability in our stores and for our directly operated digital commerce businesses. These supply chain disruptions have impacted our inventory levels in the first quarter of 2021 and could impact our sales volumes in future periods. Our 2021 outlook contemplates delays of approximately four to six weeks on average for certain inventory orders, but does not contemplate any greater supply chain disruptions beyond that. We continue to monitor these delays and other potential disruptions in our supply chain and will implement mitigation plans as needed.

Throughout the pandemic, our top priority has been to ensure the health and safety of our associates, consumers and employees of our business partners around the world. Accordingly, we have implemented health and safety measures to support high standards in our retail stores, office and distribution centers, including temporary closures, reduced occupancy levels, and social distancing and sanitization measures, as well as changes to fitting room use in our stores. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with these measures.

We took the following actions, starting in the first quarter of 2020, to reduce operating expenses in response to the pandemic and the evolving retail landscape: (i) reducing payroll costs, including temporary furloughs, salary and incentive compensation reductions, decreased working hours, and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of COVID-related government payroll subsidy programs primarily in international jurisdictions, (ii) eliminating or reducing expenses in all discretionary spending categories and (iii) reducing rent expense through rent abatements negotiated with landlords for certain stores affected by temporary closures. We also announced in July 2020 plans to streamline our North American operations to better align our business with the evolving retail landscape, including (i) a reduction in our North America office workforce by approximately 450 positions, or 12%, across all three brand businesses and corporate functions, which is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $80 million, and (ii) the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business by mid-2021. In March 2021, we announced plans to reduce our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, which are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $60 million.

We also have taken and continue to take actions to manage our working capital and liquidity. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented material decline in our revenue and earnings in 2020, including $1.021 billion of pre-tax noncash impairment charges recognized during the year, primarily related to goodwill, tradenames and other intangible assets, and store assets. There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impact of the pandemic on our business and the businesses of our licensees and wholesale customers, and our revenue and earnings in 2021 may be subject to significant material change. We currently expect the pandemic will continue to negatively impact our revenue and earnings in 2021. Our international businesses exceeded 2019 pre-pandemic revenue levels in the first quarter of 2021, and are expected to continue to exceed pre-pandemic revenue levels for the remainder of 2021. Our North America businesses are expected to remain challenged throughout 2021 as international tourism, which is the source of a significant portion of regional revenue, is not expected to return to any significant level this year.

Operations Overview

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, neckwear, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,700 Company-operated free-standing retail store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER, Calvin Klein and

certain of our heritage brands trademarks, (b) approximately 1,415 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks and in the United States through our directly operated digital commerce sites for Van Heusen, IZOD, and, until April 6, 2020, Speedo. We announced in July 2020 a plan to exit our Heritage Brands Retail business, which will result in the closing of 162 heritage brands stores by mid-2021. Approximately 50 of these stores had been closed by May 2, 2021. 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. Our Heritage Brands Retail segment will cease operations following the closure of our directly operated Heritage Brands Retail stores.

We have entered into the following transactions, which impact our results of operations and comparability among the periods, including our full year 2021 expectations as compared to full year 2020, as discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations” below:

•We announced in March 2021 plans to reduce our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, which are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $60 million. We recorded pre-tax costs of $43 million in the first quarter of 2021 consisting of (i) $28 million of noncash asset impairments, (ii) $12 million of severance and (iii) $3 million of contract termination and other costs. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $27 million during the remainder of 2021 in connection with these actions, consisting of severance and contract termination and other costs. Please see Note 16, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

•We announced in July 2020 plans to streamline our North American operations to better align our business with the evolving retail landscape including (i) a reduction in our office workforce by approximately 450 positions, or 12%, across all three brand businesses and corporate functions (the “North America workforce reduction”), which is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $80 million, and (ii) the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business by mid-2021. All costs related to the North America workforce reduction were incurred by the end of 2020. We recorded pre-tax costs of $8 million in the first quarter of 2021 in connection with the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business, consisting of $5 million of severance and other termination benefits and $3 million of accelerated amortization of lease assets. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $13 million in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with the Heritage Brands Retail business closure, primarily consisting of contract termination and other costs, severance and accelerated amortization of lease assets. We recorded pre-tax costs of $69 million during 2020, including (i) $40 million related to the North America workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance, and (ii) $29 million in connection with the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business, consisting of $15 million of severance, $7 million of noncash asset impairments and $7 million of accelerated amortization of lease assets and other costs. Please see Note 16, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

•We completed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC (“Pentland”), the parent company of the Speedo brand, in April 2020 for net proceeds of $169 million (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, when the transaction was announced, 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 pre-tax noncash net loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 upon the closing of the transaction, consisting of (i) a $6 million noncash loss 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, partially offset by (ii) a $3 million gain on our retirement plans. 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 completed the acquisition of the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that we did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”) in 2019. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, 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. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia exchanged a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of our previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business, for which we recognized a liability on the date of the acquisition. We settled in June 2020 a portion of the liability for this mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest for $17 million. The remaining liability of $24 million as of May 2, 2021 (based on exchange rates in effect on that date) was paid to the management shareholders in June 2021.

In connection with the Australia acquisition we recorded a pre-tax expense of $5 million during 2020 in interest expense resulting from the remeasurement of this mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest. 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.

Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Our results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our results of operations are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 60% of our 2020 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation. The United States dollar strengthened against most major currencies in 2019 and into the first half of 2020, but then weakened against those currencies in the latter half of 2020, particularly the euro, which is the foreign currency in which we transact the most business. We currently expect our 2021 revenue and net income to increase by approximately $220 million and $30 million, respectively, due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

There is also a transactional impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. 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. We currently expect our 2021 net income to increase by approximately $35 million due to the transactional impact of foreign currency.

Further, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that are held in the United States. The strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the carrying amount of these senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S. based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings at the end of each period is recorded in equity.

SEASONALITY

Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter tends to have the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted these patterns, however. We otherwise 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 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 2021 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2020

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2021 was $2.079 billion as compared to $1.344 billion in the first quarter of the prior year. The prior year period was negatively impacted by extensive temporary store closures, as virtually all of our retail stores and our wholesale customers’ stores globally were closed for six weeks on average. The increase in revenue of $735 million, or 55%, reflects:

•The addition of an aggregate $407 million of revenue, or a 63% increase compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a positive impact of $72 million, or 11%, related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International increased 78% (including a 15% positive foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment increased 25% (including a 1% positive foreign currency impact).

•The addition of an aggregate $309 million of revenue, or a 65% increase compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a positive impact of $44 million, or 9%, related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 91% (including a 15% positive foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment increased 27% (including a 1% positive foreign currency impact).

•The net addition of an aggregate $20 million of revenue, or a 9% increase compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments, which included a 14% decline resulting from the April 2020 sale of the Speedo North America business.

Our revenue in the first quarter of 2021 reflected a 53% increase in our revenue through our wholesale distribution channel and a 66% increase in our revenue through our direct to consumer distribution channel, which included a 66% increase in sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses. All regions and brand businesses experienced strong digital growth due, in part, to the continued store closures, particularly in Europe. Our sales through digital channels, including the digital businesses of our traditional and pure play wholesale customers and our directly operated digital commerce businesses, as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 25%.

We currently expect that revenue for the full year 2021 will continue to be impacted negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our international businesses exceeded 2019 pre-pandemic revenue levels in the first quarter of 2021, and are expected to continue to exceed pre-pandemic revenue levels for the remainder of 2021. Our North America businesses are expected to remain challenged throughout 2021, as international tourism, which is the source of a significant portion of regional revenue, is not expected to return to any significant level this year. We expect revenue growth through our digital channels will be less pronounced for the remainder of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021, although our digital penetration as a percentage of total revenue is expected to remain consistent. We currently expect total revenue for the full year 2021 to increase 24% to 26% compared to 2020, inclusive of a positive impact of approximately 3% related to foreign currency translation. Our 2021 revenue outlook does not contemplate new store closures, new lockdowns, or extensions of current lockdowns beyond what is already known. Our results may be subject to significant material change as a result of the occurrence of any of these uncontemplated events. There continues to be uncertainty in 2021 with respect to the impact of the pandemic on our business and the businesses of our licensees and other business partners.

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 2021 was $1.229 billion, or 59.1% of total revenue, as compared to $666 million, or 49.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 960 basis point increase was primarily driven by (i) less promotional selling as compared to the first quarter of the prior year, (ii) the absence in 2021 of significant inventory reserves that had been recorded in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, (iii) the favorable impact of the weaker United

States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold, and (iv) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our International and North America segments, as our International segments revenue was a larger proportion and these segments generally carry higher gross margins.

We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2021 will increase as compared to 2020. However, gross margin improvements for the remainder of the year, as compared to the gross margin improvement in the first quarter of 2021, will not be as pronounced. We currently expect gross margin for the full year 2021 to increase primarily due to (i) a significant reduction in the level of promotional selling and inventory liquidation as compared to 2020, as our inventories were significantly lower as of year-end 2020, (ii) the favorable impact of the weaker United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold and (iii) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our International and North America segments as compared to the prior year, particularly in the first quarter of 2021 and, to a lesser extent for the remainder of the year, as our International segments revenue is expected to be a larger proportion in 2021 than in 2020 and generally carry higher gross margins. There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the businesses of our licensees and other business partners, and our gross margin may be subject to significant material change.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were $1.039 billion, or 50.0% of total revenue, as compared to $940 million, or 70.0% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The significant basis point decrease was principally attributable to the leveraging of expenses driven by the increase in revenue. Also impacting the decrease were (i) cost savings resulting from the North America workforce reduction, (ii) the absence in 2021 of accounts receivable losses recorded in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (iii) the absence in 2021 of noncash store asset impairments recorded in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impacts of the pandemic on our business. These decreases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in 2021 of pandemic-related government payroll subsidy programs in international jurisdictions, as well as rent abatements, (ii) costs incurred in connection with actions to streamline our organization through reductions in our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint, and (iii) the impact of the change in the revenue mix between our International and North America segments, as our International segments revenue was a larger proportion and these segments generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of total revenue.

We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2021 will decrease as compared to 2020. However, the decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the remainder of the year, as compared to the decrease in the first quarter of 2021, will not be as pronounced. We currently expect SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2021 to decrease as compared to 2020, primarily as a result of the leveraging of expenses driven by an expected increase in revenue. Also impacting the decrease are: (i) cost savings resulting from the North America workforce reduction, (ii) the absence in 2021 of accounts receivable losses recorded in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (iii) the absence in 2021 of noncash store asset impairments recorded in 2020 resulting from the impacts of the pandemic on our business. These decreases are expected to be partially offset by (i) a reduction in 2021 of pandemic-related government payroll subsidy programs, as well as rent abatements; (ii) the absence in 2021 of temporary cost savings initiatives implemented in April 2020 in response to the pandemic, including temporary furloughs, and salary and incentive compensation reductions, (iii) the net impact of reductions in our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and in our real estate footprint and (iv) the impact of the change in the revenue mix between our International and North America segments, as our International segments revenue is expected to be a larger proportion in 2021 than 2020, and generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of total revenue. There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business in 2021 and our SG&A expenses may be subject to significant material change.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairments

We recorded noncash impairment charges of $933 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impacts 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 impacts of the pandemic on our then 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. We have not recorded any further impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets since the first quarter of 2020. 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 was $4 million in each of the first quarters of 2021 and 2020.

Non-service related pension and postretirement (income) cost recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our results of operations. We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2021 will be approximately $16 million. However, our expectation of 2021 non-service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. As a result of the recent volatility in the financial markets due, in part, to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the actuarial gain or loss we may record on our retirement plans in 2021. We may incur a significant actuarial gain or loss in 2021 if there is a significant increase or decrease in discount rates, respectively, or if there is a difference in the actual and expected return on plan assets. Our actual 2021 non-service related pension and postretirement income cost may be significantly different than our projections. Non-service related pension and postretirement income was $76 million in 2020, and included a $65 million actuarial gain on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter.

Other Noncash Loss, Net

We recorded a noncash net 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 Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Affiliates

The equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates was $4 million of income in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to a loss of $(11) million in the first quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from (i) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER, Calvin Klein, Warner’s, Olga, and other licensed trademarks in Mexico, (ii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands in India (our two prior joint ventures in India merged in the third quarter of 2020), (iii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in Brazil, and (iv) our PVH Legwear LLC (“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. The first quarter of 2020 also included a $12 million pre-tax noncash impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld. The equity in net income (loss) in the first quarter of 2021 increased as compared to the first quarter of the prior year primarily due to the absence in 2021 of this pre-tax noncash impairment charge. Our investments in the joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We currently expect that our equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates for the full year 2021 will increase as compared to 2020 primarily due to the absence in 2021 of the $12 million pre-tax noncash impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld recorded in 2020, as well as an increase in income on our continuing investments.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased to $29 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $21 million in the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to (i) the impact of the issuance in April 2020 of an additional €175 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and in July 2020 of $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior unsecured notes due 2025, and (ii) the absence in 2021 of a $4 million gain recorded in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition, as the measurement period ended in 2020, partially offset by (iii) the impact of $500 million of voluntary long-term debt repayments made during the first quarter of 2021.

Interest expense, net for the full year 2021 is currently expected to be approximately $110 million compared to $121 million in 2020 primarily due to (i) the impact of planned long-term debt repayments in 2021, including $500 million of voluntary repayments made during the first quarter of 2021, and (ii) the absence in 2021 of a $5 million expense resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition, as the measurement period ended in 2020, partially offset by (iii) a full year impact in 2021 of the issuance of senior unsecured notes in April 2020 and July 2020.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 40.7% compared to 11.5% in the first quarter of the prior year. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 reflected a $68 million income tax expense recorded on $168 million of pre-tax income. 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.

Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was higher than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) and the mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax results.

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 recorded during the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and factored into our annualized effective income tax rate, and resulted in a decrease to our effective income tax rate of 10.2%.

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

We currently expect that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2021 will be in a range of 17.5% to 19.0%. Our expectation that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2021 will be lower than the United States statutory income tax rate is principally due to the overall benefit of certain discrete items, including the favorable impact on certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions. There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impact of the pandemic on our business and results of operations, which could affect our current expectation of our effective income tax rate in 2021.

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 2021 and 2020. We currently expect that the net loss attributable to the RNCI for the full year 2021 will be immaterial. 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 had a significant impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in 2020. Given the unprecedented effects of the pandemic on our business, we took certain actions to positively impact our financial position in 2020, including the issuance in April 2020 of an additional €175 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and in July 2020 of $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior unsecured notes due 2025, as well as focused management of our working capital, with particular focus on our inventory levels, among others. We ended 2020 with $1.7 billion of cash on hand, which allowed us to make $500 million of voluntary long-term debt repayments during the first quarter of 2021.

We had also 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”). During the relief period (as defined in the June 2020 Amendment), the applicable margin for these facilities was increased 0.25% and we are not permitted to declare or pay dividends on our common stock or make share repurchases under our stock repurchase program, among other things. Given the increase in our earnings in the first quarter of 2021 and our expectations for the balance of the year, we intend to terminate early, immediately following the filing of this report, the temporary relief of these financial covenants that otherwise would have been in effect until the date on which a compliance certificate was delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (as discussed below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”).

We currently expect the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our cash flows from operations in 2021, including as a result of its impacts on our 2021 revenue and earnings. As such, we continue to take appropriate actions to manage our working capital, including tightly managing our inventory, and our liquidity through the uncertainty related to the pandemic, and are continuously reevaluating all aspects of our spending and cash flow generation as the situation evolves. We ended the first quarter of 2021 with $913 million of cash on hand and approximately $1.5 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities.

Cash Flow Summary and Trends

Cash and cash equivalents at May 2, 2021 was $913 million, a decrease of $738 million from the $1.651 billion at January 31, 2021. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of the $500 million of voluntary long-term debt repayments made during the first quarter of 2021. The seasonality of our business results in significant fluctuations in our cash balance between fiscal year end and subsequent interim periods due, in part, to the timing of inventory purchases.

Cash flow for the full year 2021 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted above and below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, including planned voluntary long-term debt repayments of approximately $700 million, including the $500 million of voluntary repayments made during the first quarter of 2021. There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our cash flows may be subject to material significant change, including as a result of the impacts of the pandemic on our earnings for the full year 2021, 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. We continue to evaluate our capital allocation, including stock repurchases and reinstating dividends on our common stock.

As of May 2, 2021, approximately $599 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 $189 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $143 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in cash used by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by changes in our working capital, including (i) an increase in trade receivables, primarily driven by a significant increase in our wholesale revenue, and (ii) an increase in inventories during the current period, primarily due to the planned increase in revenue for the remainder of the year, partially offset by (iii) an increase in net income (loss) as adjusted for noncash charges. Our cash flows from operations in the first quarter of 2020 were significantly impacted by widespread temporary store closures and other significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic, we have been and continue to be focused on working capital management, in particular tightly managing inventories, which in the first quarter of 2020 included reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, increasing promotional selling, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections.

Supply Chain Finance Program

We have a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) that provides our inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The SCF program is administered through third party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from us and sell their receivables due from us to financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable.

Our payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the SCF program.

Accordingly, amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding payments are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We have been informed by the third party administrators of the SCF program that suppliers had elected to sell approximately $360 million of our payment obligations that were outstanding as of May 2, 2021 to financial institutions and approximately $360 million had been settled through the program during the first quarter of 2021, which primarily related to our outstanding payment obligations as of January 31, 2021.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2021 were $49 million compared to $56 million in the first quarter of 2020. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2021 will be in a range of $300 million to $325 million as compared to $227 million in 2020 and will include continued investments in (i) platforms and systems worldwide, including our digital commerce platforms, and (ii) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We received dividends of $9 million from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the first quarter of 2021. These dividends are included in our net cash used by operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period.

Speedo Transaction

We completed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland in April 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.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

The Australia acquisition agreement provided for key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia to exchange a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of our previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. We were obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares was 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 varied depending on the level of EBITDA compared to a target.

We purchased for $17 million (based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) tranche 1 (50% of the shares) in June 2020, on the first anniversary of the closing. With respect to the remaining tranche 2 shares, the measurement period ended in 2020. We had a liability for the tranche 2 shares of $24 million as of May 2, 2021 (based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date), which we subsequently paid to purchase these shares in June 2021, on the second anniversary of the closing. 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

We suspended our dividends following the $3 million payment of a $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, we are not permitted to declare or pay dividends during the relief period (as defined below). However, immediately following the filing of this report, we intend to terminate early this relief period that otherwise would have been in effect until the date on which a compliance certificate was delivered for the second quarter of 2021. Please see the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for further discussion. Future determinations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the PVH Board of Directors and will depend on the then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, any limitations on payment of dividends under the terms of our credit facilities and other relevant factors.

Acquisition of Treasury Shares

The 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 March 2020, following the purchase of 1.4 million shares in open market transactions for $111 million completed earlier in the first quarter of 2020, in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Purchases of $500,000 that were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were also paid in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, we are not permitted to make share repurchases during the relief period. However, immediately following the filing of this report, we intend to terminate early this relief period that otherwise would have been in effect until the date on which a compliance certificate was delivered for the second quarter of 2021, and would then be permitted to resume share repurchases at management's discretion. 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. As of May 2, 2021, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $573 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.

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.

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

Financing Arrangements

Our capital structure was as follows:


(In millions)	5/2/21		1/31/21		5/3/20
Short-term borrowings	$	14	$	—	$	322

Current portion of long-term debt	26		41		14
Finance lease obligations	14		13		15
Long-term debt	3,018		3,514		2,854
Stockholders’ equity	4,839		4,730		4,513

In addition, we had $913 million, $1.651 billion and $801 million of cash and cash equivalents as of May 2, 2021, January 31, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings

We had $14 million of borrowings outstanding under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies as of May 2, 2021. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 2, 2021 was 0.18%. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $249 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 2, 2021 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2021 was $14 million.

We had $322 million of borrowings outstanding as of May 3, 2020, including $168 million of borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, $80 million of borrowings under our commercial paper note program, and $74 million of borrowings under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. We repaid the outstanding balance under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and commercial paper note program during the second quarter of 2020. We had no borrowings outstanding under any of these facilities as of January 31, 2021.

2021 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 28, 2021, we replaced our 364-day $275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility, which matured on April 7, 2021 (the “2020 facility”), with a new 364-day $275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 facility”). The 2021 facility will mature on April 27, 2022. We paid approximately $600,000 of debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction. We had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2021.

The borrowings under the 2021 facility bear interest at variable rates calculated in a manner consistent with the 2020 facility. The current applicable margin with respect to the borrowings is 1.625% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.625% for base rate loans, which reflects an additional 0.25% during the relief period (as defined below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”). The applicable margin for borrowings 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, except during the relief period (as defined below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”), or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

The 2021 facility is subject to other terms and conditions and financial and non-financial covenants consistent with the 2020 facility. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 for further discussion of the 2020 facility.

Finance Lease Liabilities

Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $1 million in each of the first quarters of 2021 and 2020.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

We have senior unsecured credit facilities due April 29, 2024 (the “2019 facilities”) that consist of a $1.093 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”), a €500 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility” and together with the USD TLA facility, the “TLA facilities”) and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD $70 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. Borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at variable rates calculated in the manner set forth in the terms of the 2019 facilities.

We had loans outstanding of $1.103 billion, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, no borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $18 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 2, 2021.

We made payments totaling $504 million and $3 million on our term loans under the 2019 facilities during the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and we expect to make long-term debt repayments of approximately $723 million during the full year 2021.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 2, 2021 was 1.625% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.625% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans, which reflects an increase of 0.25% as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment (as defined below). 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, except during the relief period (as defined below), 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 London interbank offered rate (“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 2021 and/or the first quarter of 2020:


(In millions)
Designation Date	Commencement Date	Initial Notional Amount		Notional Amount Outstanding as of May 2, 2021		Fixed Rate	Expiration Date
March 2020	February 2021	$	50	$	50	0.562%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2021	50		50		1.1625%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2020	50		50		1.2575%	February 2023
August 2019	February 2020	50		50		1.1975%	February 2022
June 2019	February 2020	50		50		1.409%	February 2022
June 2019	June 2019	50		50		1.719%	July 2021
January 2019	February 2020	50		—		2.4187%	February 2021
November 2018	February 2019	139		—		2.8645%	February 2021
October 2018	February 2019	116		—		2.9975%	February 2021
June 2018	August 2018	50		—		2.6825%	February 2021
June 2017	February 2018	306		—		1.566%	February 2020

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. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2019 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of our other debt. Given the disruption to our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, we 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 we elect earlier to terminate the relief period and satisfy the conditions for doing so (the “June 2020 Amendment”). The June 2020 Amendment provides for the following during the relief period, among other things, the (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 requires 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 the 2019 facilities and (ii) we and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens in favor of the collateral agent on substantially all of our respective assets (subject to customary exceptions). As of May 2, 2021, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants (as amended) under these facilities. We intend to terminate the relief period early, immediately following the filing of this report.

We expect to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under the 2019 facilities based on our current forecasts. If the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business worsen and our earnings and operating cash flows do not 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 the 2019 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 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, of which €175 million principal amount was issued on April 24, 2020. We paid €3 million ($3 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees 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.

4 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2025

We have outstanding $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 10, 2025. We paid $6 million of fees in connection with the July 2020 issuance of the notes. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to June 10, 2025 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after June 10, 2025 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027

We have outstanding €600 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. 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 2, 2021, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.

As of May 2, 2021, 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 2021 through 2026.

Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 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 January 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, 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 January 31, 2021.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us as of May 2, 2021 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 2, 2021. 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 2, 2021, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $0.9 million annually. Borrowings under the 2019 facilities and 2021 facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, the 2019 facilities and 2021 facility 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 2, 2021, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, approximately 75% 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 2, 2021, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $200,000 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.

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 income (loss). Accordingly, our results of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) 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.

We currently expect our 2021 revenue and net income to increase by approximately $220 million and $30 million, respectively, due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $7 million within other comprehensive income (loss) principally driven by a slight strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro since January 31, 2021. Our foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are significantly impacted by the substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets denominated in the euro, which represented 38% of our $6.5 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of May 2, 2021. 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 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 our 2021 net income to increase by approximately $35 million due to the transactional impact of foreign currency.

Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at May 2, 2021, 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 $110 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 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 $135 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 2021 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 2021 net benefit cost of approximately $48 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 have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that a significant number of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are currently undertaking a major multi-year SAP S/4 implementation to upgrade our platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation is occurring in phases over multiple years. 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 control over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal control over financial reporting 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 our Information Technology risk factor “We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment based, in part, on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject.

(1) 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 2021 in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

(2) The PVH 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 our stock repurchase program beginning in March 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, we entered into an amendment to our senior unsecured credit facilities in June 2020, under which share repurchases are not permitted until after the relief period (as defined). Our 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.
