INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $153.1 million, $176.3 million and $148.4 million as of November 1, 2020, February 2, 2020 and November 3, 2019, respectively. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company made payments related to these investments of $1.6 million and $2.5 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2020 and November 3, 2019, respectively, to contribute its share of funding for the periods and received dividends of $13.6 million from these investments during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2019.

TH India and CK India

The Company held a 50% economic interest in each of the Tommy Hilfiger Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“TH India”) and Calvin Klein Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“CK India”) joint ventures prior to August 15, 2020. These investments were accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company and Arvind, the Company’s joint venture partner in TH India and CK India, entered into an agreement to merge TH India into CK India, effective August 15, 2020. As a result of the merger, the Company now owns a 50% economic interest in the merged entity, PVH Arvind Fashion Private Limited, which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. There has been no material change to the shareholders’ respective rights or economic interests as a result of the transaction and no consideration was exchanged in the merger. As such, no gain or loss was recorded in connection with the transaction.

Karl Lagerfeld

The Company owns an economic interest of approximately 8% in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). 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 has 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.

PVH Legwear

The Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s former Heritage Brands socks and hosiery licensee formed a joint venture, PVH Legwear LLC (“PVH Legwear”) during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2019, in which the Company owns a 49% economic interest. PVH Legwear was formed in order to consolidate the Company’s socks and hosiery businesses for all Company brands in the United States and Canada. PVH Legwear licenses from subsidiaries of the Company the rights to distribute and sell in these countries TOMMY HILFIGER, Calvin Klein, IZOD, Van Heusen and Warner’s socks and hosiery beginning in December 2019. Additionally, PVH Legwear sells socks and hosiery under other owned and licensed trademarks. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Gazal and PVH Australia

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