ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Australia Acquisition

The Company acquired in 2019 the approximately 78% ownership interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”).

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key executives of Gazal and PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“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 Australia acquisition closing in two tranches: tranche 1 – 50% of the shares one year after the closing; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing.

The Company recognized a liability of $26.2 million for the fair value of the 6% interest on the date of the Australia acquisition, based on exchange rates in effect on that date, which was being accounted for as a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest. 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.

For the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares, the measurement periods ended in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company paid the management shareholders an aggregate purchase price of $17.3 million for the tranche 1 shares in June 2020 and an aggregate purchase price of $24.4 million for the tranche 2 shares in June 2021 based on exchange rates in effect on the applicable payment dates. The Company presented these payments within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows: (i) $12.7 million and $15.2 million as financing cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021, respectively, which represented the initial fair values of the liabilities for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares, respectively, recognized on the acquisition date, and (ii) $4.6 million and $9.2 million as operating cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021, respectively, for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares, respectively, attributable to interest. The Company had no remaining liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest as of October 31, 2021.

Sale of Certain Heritage Brands Trademarks and Other Assets

The Company entered into a definitive agreement on June 23, 2021 to sell certain of its heritage brands trademarks, including Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW and Geoffrey Beene, as well as certain related inventories of its Heritage Brands business, with a net carrying value of $97.8 million, to ABG and other parties for $222.9 million in cash.

The Company completed the sale on August 2, 2021 for net proceeds of $216.3 million, after transaction costs. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $118.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the net carrying value of the assets, less costs to sell. The gain was recorded in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.

In connection with the sale, the employment of certain employees based in the United States engaged in the Heritage Brands business was terminated during the third quarter of 2021. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned by these employees under its retirement plans. No further benefits were accrued under the plans for these employees and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. For certain eligible employees affected by the transaction, the Company provided an enhanced retirement benefit and as a result recognized $1.4 million of special termination benefit costs during the third quarter of 2021 with a corresponding increase to its pension benefit obligation. These amounts were included in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 8, “Retirement and Benefit Plans” for further discussion.
