New York, New York - PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] reported 2018 second quarter results.

Non-GAAP Amounts:

Amounts stated to be on a non-GAAP basis exclude the items that are described below under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions.” Amounts stated on a constant currency basis are also deemed to be on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliations of amounts on a GAAP basis to amounts on a non-GAAP basis are presented later in this release and identify and quantify all excluded items.

CEO Comments:

Commenting on these results, Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Our better than expected second quarter revenue and earnings reflected continued broad-based strength across our businesses and further underscored the momentum in our global designer lifestyle brands, CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, and the power of our diversified business model.”

Mr. Chirico continued, “We are increasingly evolving our business model and investing across our brands, our people and our platforms, while finding innovative ways to engage consumers. We have made great progress in enhancing our consumer insights capabilities, increasing our efforts around online and offline consumer experiences, and driving engagement with the next generation of consumers. As we execute on our strategic priorities, we believe that we can continue to grow our global footprint, while delivering a sustainable trajectory of long-term growth and stockholder value creation.”

Mr. Chirico concluded, “We are increasing our revenue and earnings guidance for the year, while continuing to take a prudent approach to planning our business in the second half of the year, as we experience increasing macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility around the world.”

Second Quarter Business Review:

Due to the 53rd week in 2017, second quarter 2018 comparable store sales are more appropriately compared with the thirteen week period ended August 6, 2017, instead of the period ended July 30, 2017. All comparable store sales discussed in this release are presented on this one week shifted basis.

Calvin Klein

Revenue in the Calvin Klein business for the quarter increased 18% to $925 million (increased 16% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Calvin Klein International revenue increased 16% to $458 million (increased 13% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, driven by strong performance in Europe and Asia, including a 5% increase in comparable store sales. Calvin Klein North America revenue increased 19% to $467 million compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of strong wholesale performance and a 2% increase in comparable store sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the quarter increased to $105 million from $96 million in the prior year period. The earnings increase was primarily attributable to the revenue increase noted above, partially offset by the impact of aggressively clearing inventory in connection with the Fall 2018 global denim relaunch.

Tommy Hilfiger

Revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger business for the quarter increased 15% to $1.0 billion (increased 13% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Tommy Hilfiger International revenue increased 20% to $592 million (increased 16% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, driven by continued strong performance across all regions and channels, including an 11% increase in comparable store sales. Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue increased 9% to $437 million compared to the prior year period, principally attributable to continued strong performance in the wholesale business and a 5% increase in comparable store sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $134 million from $91 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were costs of $7 million related to the April 2016 acquisition of the 55% interest in the Company’s former Tommy Hilfiger joint venture in China (“TH China”) that it did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”), consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the prior year period were costs of (i) $7 million related to the TH China acquisition, primarily consisting of noncash

amortization of short-lived assets, and (ii) $7 million in connection with the relocation of the Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis discussed below excludes these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $141 million from $105 million in the prior year period. The earnings increase was principally due to the revenue increase noted above, as well as gross margin improvements, particularly in North America, and a leveraging of expenses.

Heritage Brands

Revenue in the Heritage Brands business for the quarter decreased 3% to $380 million compared to the prior year period. Comparable store sales increased 3%.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the quarter decreased to $33 million from $35 million in the prior year period, driven by the decrease in revenue noted above.

Second Quarter Consolidated Results:

Second quarter revenue increased 13% to $2.3 billion (increased 11% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period.

Earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $2.12 for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.52 in the prior year period. These results include the amounts with respect to the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $231 million from $181 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were costs of $7 million related to the TH China acquisition. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the prior year period were $19 million of costs consisting of (i) $7 million related to the TH China acquisition, (ii) $7 million in connection with the relocation of the Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense, and (iii) $6 million in connection with the consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter was $238 million compared to $200 million in the prior year period. The improvement in earnings was primarily driven by growth in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses.

Net interest expense of $29 million was relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis was 18.6% as compared to 20.8% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis was 18.8% as compared to 21.9% in the prior year period.

Six Months Consolidated Results:

Revenue for the first six months of 2018 increased 15% to $4.6 billion (increased 11% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. The revenue increase was due to:


•	An 18% increase (14% increase on a constant currency basis) in the Calvin Klein business compared to the prior year period, driven by strong performance in Europe and Asia, as well as in the North America wholesale business. International comparable store sales increased 7%. North America comparable store sales increased 4%.

•	A 1% increase in the Heritage Brands business compared to the prior year period. Comparable store sales increased 2%.

Earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $4.42 for the first six months of 2018 compared to $2.41 in the prior year period. These results include the amounts with respect to the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis was $4.55 for the first six months of 2018 compared to $3.34 in the prior year period. Earnings per share on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the first six months of 2018 included a $0.23 positive impact related to foreign currency translation.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the first six months of 2018 increased to $476 million, inclusive of a $21 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation, from $294 million in the prior year period.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the first six months of 2018 was $489 million, inclusive of a $21 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation,

compared to $392 million in the prior year period. The improvement in earnings was driven by strong growth across all businesses.

Net interest expense of $58 million for the first six months of 2018 was relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis for the first six months of 2018 was 17.8% as compared to 19.5% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis for the first six months of 2018 was 18.0% as compared to 21.3% in the prior year period.

Inventory levels increased 16% as compared to the prior year period due to a shift in the timing of inventory receipts as a result of the 53rd week in 2017 and an expected increase in third quarter of 2018 sales as compared to the prior year period.

Stock Repurchase Program:

During the first six months of 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 900,000 shares of its common stock for $137 million (7.7 million shares for $829 million since inception) under the $1.250 billion stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors through June 3, 2020. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as the Company deems appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, restrictions under the Company’s debt arrangements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.

2018 Outlook:

The Company’s effective tax rate projections for 2018 include estimates of the impacts of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Legislation”) enacted on December 22, 2017, including (i) the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) the implementation of a modified territorial tax system, (iii) the introduction of a tax on foreign

income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) and (iv) the introduction of a base erosion anti-abuse tax measure (known as “BEAT”) that taxes certain payments between U.S. corporations and their subsidiaries. These projections are subject to adjustment in 2018, including as a result of changes in the provisional net tax benefit of $53 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, during the measurement period allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission as regulatory guidance needs to be issued in regard to the Tax Legislation and as the Company completes its final analysis of the impacts of the Tax Legislation.

Please see the section entitled “Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” at the end of this release for further detail and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts discussed in this section.

Full Year Guidance

Revenue in the second half of 2018 will be negatively impacted compared to the prior year period as a result of an additional week of revenue (a 53rd week) in 2017. The total negative impact in the second half of 2018 compared to the prior year period is approximately $150 million, comprised of (i) approximately $80 million due to the reduction of one week of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and (ii) approximately $70 million that shifted into the first half of 2018 and out of the second half of 2018 as compared to the prior year periods due to the fiscal calendar misalignment in 2018 as compared to 2017, as illustrated below.



(In millions)	2018 vs. 2017 Revenue Impact
	First Half		Second Half			Full Year
(i) Reduction of One Week of Revenue	$	—	$	(80	)	$	(80	)
(ii) Fiscal Calendar Misalignment	70		(70		)	—
Total Revenue Impact	$	70	$	(150	)	$	(80	)

In addition, the Company continues to plan that the second half of 2018 will include an increase of approximately $15 million in marketing expenditures compared to the prior year period, principally related to CALVIN KLEIN. Marketing expenditures as a percentage of full year revenue in 2018 remains consistent as compared to the prior year.

The Company currently projects that 2018 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be in a range of $8.96 to $9.01 compared to $6.84 in 2017. The Company currently projects that 2018 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be in a range of $9.20 to $9.25 compared to $7.94 in 2017. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP projections include the estimated positive impact of approximately $0.07 per share related to foreign currency translation, consisting of the positive impact of $0.23 in the first half of 2018, partially offset by an estimated negative impact of $0.16 in the second half of 2018.

Revenue in 2018 is projected to increase approximately 7% (increase approximately 6% on a constant currency basis) as compared to 2017. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is projected to increase approximately 8% (also on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is projected to increase approximately 9% (increase approximately 8% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Heritage Brands business is projected to increase approximately 1%.

Net interest expense in 2018 is projected to decrease to approximately $117 million from $122 million in 2017. The Company estimates that the 2018 effective tax rate will be in a range of 13.5% to 14.5%, which includes the estimated impact of the Tax Legislation.

The Company’s estimate of 2018 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis excludes approximately $25 million of pre-tax costs to be incurred related to the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets, and the resulting estimated tax effect.

Third Quarter Guidance

The Company currently projects that third quarter 2018 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be in a range of $3.03 to $3.06 compared to $3.05 in the prior year period. The Company projects that third quarter 2018 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be in a range of $3.10 to $3.13 compared to $3.02 in the prior year period. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP projections include an estimated negative impact of approximately $0.09 per share related to foreign currency translation.

Revenue in the third quarter of 2018 is projected to increase approximately 7% (increase approximately 9% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business in the third quarter is projected to increase approximately 5% (increase approximately 7% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business in the third quarter is projected to increase approximately 10% (increase approximately 12% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Heritage Brands business in the third quarter is projected to increase approximately 8%.

Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2018 is projected to decrease to approximately $30 million compared to $31 million in the prior year period. The Company estimates that the third quarter 2018 effective tax rate will be in a range of 4% to 5%.

The Company’s estimate of third quarter 2018 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis excludes approximately $7 million of pre-tax costs to be incurred related to the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets, and the resulting estimated tax effect.

Non-GAAP Exclusions:

The discussions in this release that refer to non-GAAP amounts exclude the following:


•	Pre-tax costs of approximately $25 million incurred and to be incurred in 2018 related to the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets, of which $7 million was incurred in the first quarter, $7 million was incurred in the second quarter and approximately $7 million is to be incurred in the third quarter.


•	Pre-tax costs of $83 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with an amendment to Mr. Tommy Hilfiger’s employment agreement pursuant to which the Company made a cash buyout of a portion of the future payments to Mr. Hilfiger.


•	Pre-tax costs of $54 million incurred in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with the Li & Fung termination.


•	Pre-tax costs of $28 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the Company’s redemption and issuance of senior notes, including $24 million related

to the early redemption of the $700 million 4 1/2% senior notes and $4 million related to the issuance of €600 million 3 1/8% senior notes.


•	Pre-tax costs of $27 million incurred in 2017 related to the TH China acquisition, primarily consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets, of which $7 million was incurred in the first quarter, $7 million was incurred in the second quarter, $6 million was incurred in the third quarter and $7 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.


•	Pre-tax costs of $19 million incurred in 2017 in connection with the relocation of the Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense, of which $7 million was incurred in the first quarter, $7 million was incurred in the second quarter and $5 million was incurred in the third quarter.


•	Pre-tax costs of $9 million incurred in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with the noncash settlement of certain of the Company’s benefit obligations related to its retirement plans as a result of an annuity purchased for certain participants, under which such obligations were transferred to an insurer.

•

Pre-tax net costs of $8 million incurred in 2017 in connection with the consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America, of which $2 million of costs were incurred in the first quarter, $6 million of costs were incurred in the second quarter, $3 million of costs were incurred in the third quarter and a net gain of $2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, which included the impact of the sale of a warehouse and distribution center.


•	Pre-tax loss of $3 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the recognized actuarial loss on retirement plans.


•	Discrete tax benefits of $23 million recorded in 2017 primarily related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions, of which $13 million was recorded in the third quarter and $10 million was recorded in the fourth quarter.

•

Discrete net tax benefit of $53 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the Tax Legislation, consisting of a $265 million benefit primarily from the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by a $38 million valuation allowance on the Company’s foreign tax credits and a $174 million transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated.


•	Discrete tax benefit of $15 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to an excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

•

Estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax items, which are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it had identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

As a supplement to the Company’s GAAP results, the Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company presents results in this manner because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies but reports financial information in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported revenues. The Company believes presenting constant currency revenue information provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.

The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the current year period into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior year period (rather than at the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

Constant currency performance should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The

constant currency revenue information presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

Please see Tables 1 through 6 and the sections entitled “Reconciliations of 2018 Constant Currency Revenue” and “Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” later in this release for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts.

Non-GAAP Measures

(In millions, except per share data)

The Company believes it is useful to investors to present its results for the periods ended August 5, 2018 and July 30, 2017 excluding (i) the costs incurred in the first and second quarters of 2018 and 2017 related to the acquisition of the 55% interest in TH Asia, Ltd. (“TH China”), its former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China, that it did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”), primarily consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets; (ii) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with agreements to restructure its supply chain relationship with Li & Fung Trading Limited (“Li & Fung”), under which the Company terminated its non-exclusive buying agency agreement with Li & Fung in 2017 (the “Li & Fung termination”); (iii) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with the noncash settlement of certain of its benefit obligations related to its retirement plans as a result of an annuity purchased for certain participants, under which such obligations were transferred to an insurer; (iv) the costs incurred in the first and second quarters of 2017 in connection with the relocation of the Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense; (v) the costs incurred in the first and second quarters of 2017 in connection with the consolidation within its warehouse and distribution network in North America; and (vi) the tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items, which are on a non-GAAP basis. The Company excludes these amounts because it deems them to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that their exclusion (i) 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 and (ii) assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. 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 results excluding the items described above are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The information presented on a non-GAAP basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table presents the non-GAAP measures that are discussed in this release. Please see Tables 1 through 6 for the reconciliations of the GAAP amounts to amounts on a non-GAAP basis.

In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each pre-tax item that it had identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible and, if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All of the pre-tax items identified as non-GAAP exclusions were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

Reconciliations of 2018 Constant Currency Revenue

(In millions)

As a supplement to the Company’s reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company presents results in this manner because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies but reports financial information in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported revenues. The Company believes presenting constant currency revenue information provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.

Constant currency performance should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency revenue information presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

PVH CORP.

Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts

The Company is presenting its 2018 estimated results excluding the costs incurred and to be incurred related to the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets and the resulting estimated tax effect. The 2018 estimated results are presented on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The Company believes presenting these results on a non-GAAP basis provides useful additional information to investors. The Company excludes such amounts because it deems them to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that excluding them (i) 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, and (ii) assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business 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 results excluding the item described above are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The information presented on a non-GAAP basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The estimated tax effect associated with the above pre-tax item is based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated the item identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. The item is identified as tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction.
