NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2024-- PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] today reported its 2024 second quarter results and updated its full year EPS outlook.

Stefan Larsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered on our top- and bottom-line commitments and beat our earnings guidance for the second quarter, led by our disciplined execution of the PVH+ Plan. For both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, we drove strong consumer engagement and continued to increase product strength and improve newness in our assortment, leading to more full-priced selling and less end-of-season clearance sales, which fueled significant gross margin expansion."

Larsson continued, "Step by step, we continue to build strength in product, consumer engagement and marketplace execution, supported by the build out of our data and demand-driven supply chain. North America continues to be a strong proof point, in Europe we are on plan with our targeted quality of sales initiatives, and in Asia Pacific, we continue to drive strong brand engagement to win the big consumer moments. Looking ahead, as we navigate an increasingly challenging global macroeconomic backdrop, we remain relentlessly focused on delivering brand-accretive, long-term growth."

Zac Coughlin, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We drove strong gross margin and operating margin expansion in the second quarter and are reaffirming our revenue and non-GAAP operating margin guidance, reflecting our disciplined execution of the PVH+ Plan. We remain relentlessly focused on driving efficiencies, maintaining cost discipline and simplifying how we work globally. Powered by our two iconic brands, we have a multi-year unlock opportunity to generate sustainable, profitable growth and strong cash flows, while maximizing returns for shareholders over the long-term."

Non-GAAP Amounts:

Amounts stated to be on a non-GAAP basis exclude the items that are defined or described in greater detail near the end of this release under the heading "Non-GAAP Exclusions." Amounts stated on a constant currency basis also are deemed to be on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliations of amounts on a GAAP basis to amounts on a non-GAAP basis are presented after the Non-GAAP Exclusions section and identify and quantify all excluded items.

Second Quarter Review:

  • Revenue decreased 6% compared to the prior year period (decreased 5% on a constant currency basis), including a 3% decline resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business in November 2023. Overall revenue in the Company's international businesses decreased 4% compared to the prior year period (decreased 3% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to the challenging consumer environment in Asia Pacific, particularly in China and Australia, and the continuation of the Company's planned strategic reduction in sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region. In North America, revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses combined increased 1% compared to the prior year period, with modest growth in the wholesale business and a low single-digit decline in the direct-to-consumer business.
    • Direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 5% compared to the prior year period (decreased 3% on a constant currency basis). Revenue in the Company's owned and operated stores decreased 4% compared to the prior year period (decreased 3% on a constant currency basis), primarily driven by recent softness in the consumer backdrop. Revenue in the Company's owned and operated digital commerce business declined 6% compared to the prior year period (declined 5% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to the continuation of the Company's planned strategic reduction in Europe.
    • Wholesale revenue decreased 9% compared to the prior year period (decreased 8% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to a 7% reduction resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business. The remaining decline reflects the continued strategic reduction in revenue in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region.
  • Gross margin increased 250 basis points to 60.1% compared to 57.6% in the prior year period. The significant increase reflects benefits from a favorable shift in channel mix, a reduction in sales to lower margin wholesale accounts, and lower product costs.
  • Inventory decreased 12% compared to the prior year period.

Second Quarter Consolidated Results:

  • Revenue of$2.074 billion decreased 6% compared to $2.207 billion in the prior year period (decreased 5% on a constant currency basis), including a 3% decline resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
    • Tommy Hilfigerrevenue decreased 4% compared to the prior year period (decreased 3% on a constant currency basis).
      • Tommy Hilfiger International revenue decreased 6% (decreased 5% on a constant currency basis) as the revenue decline in Europe discussed above weighs more heavily on the Tommy Hilfiger business.
      • Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue increased 1%.
    • Calvin Klein revenue decreased 1% compared to the prior year period (flat on a constant currency basis).
      • Calvin Klein Internationalrevenue decreased 2% (flat on a constant currency basis).
      • Calvin Klein North America revenue increased 1%.
    • Heritage Brands revenue decreased 60% compared to the prior year period, which included a 56% decrease resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") on a GAAP basis was $174 million, inclusive of a $4 million negative impact attributable to foreign currency translation, compared to $143 million in the prior year period. EBIT on a GAAP basis included costs of $15 million in the current quarter and costs of $39 million in the prior year period described under the heading "Non-GAAP Exclusions" later in this release. EBIT on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excludes these amounts.

    EBIT on a non-GAAP basis was $189 million, inclusive of a $4 million negative impact attributable to foreign currency translation, compared to $182 million in the prior year period. The gross margin improvement discussed above more than offset the impact of the revenue decline in the quarter. The Company continues to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses, driving cost efficiencies while making targeted investments to drive its strategic initiatives.
  • Earnings per share ("EPS")
  • GAAP basis: $2.80 compared to $1.50 in the prior year period.
  • Non-GAAP basis: $3.01 compared to $1.98 in the prior year period.

EPS on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2024 includes the negative impact of $0.07 per share related to foreign currency translation.

EPS on a GAAP basis for these periods also included the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading "Non-GAAP Exclusions" later in this release. EPS on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excluded these amounts.

  • Interest expense decreased to $19 million from $24 million in the prior year period.
  • Effective tax rate was (2.1)% on a GAAP basis as compared to 21.3% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate was (0.1)% on a non-GAAP basis as compared to 21.6% in the prior year period. The decline in the tax rates on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a tax benefit in the current quarter related to the favorable settlement of a multi-year audit in an international jurisdiction.

Stock Repurchase Program:

Delivering on its commitment under the PVH+ Plan to return excess cash to stockholders, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares of its common stock for $25 million during the second quarter of 2024, bringing total share repurchases for the first six months of 2024 to 2.1 million shares for $225 million. The Company currently expects to make common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of approximately $400 million for the full year 2024.

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.

Non-GAAP Exclusions:

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

  • Pre-tax restructuring costs totaling approximately $35 million incurred and expected to be incurred in 2024 consisting principally of severance related to the Company's multi-year initiative to simplify its operating model by centralizing processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient, cost-effective ways of working across the organization, of which $15 million was incurred in the second quarter, approximately $15 million is expected to be incurred in the third quarter, and approximately $5 million is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter.
  • Pre-tax gain of $10 million recorded in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the Company's sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
  • Pre-tax gain of $46 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to the recognized actuarial gain on retirement plans.
  • Pre-tax net gain of $13 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the sale of the Company's Heritage Brands women's intimates business, which includes a gain on the sale, less costs to sell, and severance and other termination benefits associated with the transaction.
  • Pre-tax restructuring costs of $61 million incurred in 2023 consisting principally of severance related to actions taken in the second and third quarters of 2023 under the plans initially announced in August 2022 to reduce people costs in the Company's global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023, of which $39 million was incurred in the second quarter, $19 million was incurred in the third quarter and $4 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
  • 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 was (i) taxable or tax deductible, in which case the tax effect was taken at the applicable income tax rate in the local jurisdiction, or (ii) non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

The Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies and 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 and can have a significant impact on the Company's reported revenues. The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the relevant 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 relevant period).

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, including constant currency revenue information, as a supplement to its GAAP results. The Company believes presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of non-recurring and non-operational amounts and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as applicable, and (i) facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods 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 non-recurring and non-operational amounts are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. Non-GAAP financial measures 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 non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

Please see tables 1 through 5 and the sections entitled "Reconciliations of 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.

(xi) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, and store closures in any of the countries where the Company's or its licensees' or wholesale customers' or other business partners' stores are located or products are sold or produced or are planned to be sold or produced, as a result of civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability, such as the current war in Ukraine that led to the Company's exit from its retail business in Russia and the cessation of its wholesale operations in Russia and Belarus, and the temporary cessation of business by many of its business partners in Ukraine; (xii) disease epidemics and health-related concerns, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in (and, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, did result in some of the following) supply-chain disruptions due to closed factories, reduced workforces and production capacity, shipping delays, container and trucker shortages, port congestion and other logistics problems, closed stores, and reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, or governments implement mandatory business closures, travel restrictions or the like, and market or other changes that could result in shortages of inventory available to be delivered to the Company's stores and customers, order cancellations and lost sales, as well as in noncash impairments of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property, plant and equipment;

PVH CORP.
Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes it is useful to investors to present its results for the periods ended August 4, 2024 and July 30, 2023 on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter of 2024 related to the Company's multi-year initiative to simplify its operating model by centralizing processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient, cost-effective ways of working across the organization (the "Growth Driver 5 Actions"), consisting principally of severance; (ii) the pre-tax gain recorded in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the sale of the Company's Heritage Brands women's intimates business (the "Heritage Brands intimates transaction"); (iii) the restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter of 2023 related to actions taken in July 2023 under the plans announced in August 2022 to reduce people costs in the Company's global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 (the "2022 cost savings initiative"), consisting principally of severance; and (iv) the tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items. The Company excludes these amounts because it deems them to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that their exclusion (i) facilitates comparing the results being reported 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 estimated tax effects associated with the Company's exclusions on a non-GAAP basis are based on the Company's assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluates each pre-tax item that it has identified as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is (i) taxable or tax deductible, in which case the tax effect is taken at the applicable income tax rate in the local jurisdiction, or (ii) non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumes no tax effect.

PVH CORP.
Reconciliations of 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 and 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 impact 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 relevant 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 relevant 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.

PVH CORP.
Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts

The Company is presenting its 2024 estimated results on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the restructuring costs incurred and expected to be incurred related to the Growth Driver 5 Actions, consisting primarily of severance, (ii) the pre-tax gain recorded in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the Company's sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business and (iii) the estimated tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items.

The 2024 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 that it deems to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that excluding them (i) facilitates comparing the results being reported 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 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 estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax items are based on the Company's assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each pre-tax 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. All of the pretax items identified as non-GAAP exclusions were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the applicable income tax rate in the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.
