GENERAL

PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company with a brand portfolio that includes TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, which are owned, Warner’s, Olga and True&Co., which the Company owned until November 27, 2023, Van Heusen and Nike, which the Company licenses for certain product categories, and other owned and licensed brands. The Company entered into a definitive agreement on November 10, 2023 to sell its Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. businesses to Basic Resources and completed the sale on November 27, 2023 (the “Heritage Brands intimate apparel transaction”). The Company designs and markets branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, 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.

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 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP 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 29, 2023.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023 and October 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. Furthermore, 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.

There is significant uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to inflationary pressures globally, the war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023 and foreign currency volatility and their impacts on the Company’s business. If economic conditions were to worsen, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations may be materially and adversely impacted.

War in Ukraine and Israel-Hamas War

As a result of the war in Ukraine, the Company announced in March 2022 that it was temporarily closing stores and pausing commercial activities in Russia and Belarus. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company made the decision to exit from its Russia business, including the closure of its retail stores in Russia and the cessation of its wholesale operations in Russia and Belarus. Additionally, while the Company has no direct operations in Ukraine, virtually all of its wholesale customers and franchisees in Ukraine have been impacted, which has resulted in a reduction in shipments to these customers and canceled orders. The war in Ukraine also led to broader macroeconomic implications in 2022, including the weakening of the euro against the United States dollar, increases in fuel prices and volatility in the financial markets, as well as a decline in consumer spending.

The recent Israel-Hamas war, which began in October 2023, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business. Less than 1% of the Company’s revenue in 2023 is expected to be generated in Israel and less than 2% of the Company’s revenue in 2023 is expected to be generated in the Middle East, including Israel.

There is uncertainty regarding the extent to which these wars and their broader macroeconomic implications, including the potential impacts on the broader European market, will further impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2023.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations during 2022. The pandemic did not have a significant impact on the Company during the first nine months of 2023.

Strict lockdowns in China during 2022 resulted in extensive temporary store closures and significant reductions in consumer traffic and purchasing, as well as impacted certain warehouses, which resulted in the temporary pause of deliveries to the Company’s wholesale customers and from its digital commerce business in the first half of 2022. COVID-related restrictions in China were lifted at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022.

In addition, the Company’s North America stores have been challenged by the significant decrease in international tourists coming to the United States since the onset of the pandemic. Stores located in international tourist destinations had represented a significant portion of the North America retail business prior to the pandemic.

In addition, pandemic-related supply chain and logistics disruptions have impacted 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 disruptions as a result of closed factories or factories operating with a reduced workforce, or other logistics constraints, including vessel, container and other transportation shortages, labor shortages and port congestion due to the impact of the pandemic. These impacts significantly improved in the second half of 2022.
