Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts
The Company believes presenting its (1) 2011 estimated results excluding (i) the costs expected to be incurred in connection with its integration of Tommy Hilfiger and related restructuring; (ii) the costs incurred in connection with the Company’s modification of its credit facility; and (iii) the estimated tax effects associated with these costs, and (2) 2010 results excluding (i) the costs incurred in connection with its acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger; (ii) the costs incurred in connection with the exit from its United Kingdom and Ireland Van Heusen dress furnishings and accessories business; (iii) the tax effects associated with these costs; and (iv) a tax benefit related to the lapse of the statute of limitations with respect to certain previously unrecognized tax positions, both of which are on a non-GAAP basis, provides useful additional information to investors. The Company believes that the exclusion of such amounts facilitates comparing current results against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. The Company has provided the reconciliations set forth below to present its estimates on a GAAP basis and excluding these amounts. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The Company’s earnings per share amounts excluding the costs associated with its acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger and related restructuring, the modification of its credit facility and the exit from its United Kingdom and Ireland Van Heusen dress furnishings and accessories business are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The estimated tax effects associated with the above costs are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it has recorded or expects to record as an acquisition, integration, restructuring or debt modification cost to determine if such cost is tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily tax deductible in the United States, in which case the Company assumed a tax rate of 38.0%, or as non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax benefit. The assumptions used were consistently applied for both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings amounts.
