Company Overview
We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world. We have approximately 26,000 associates, operate in more than 40 countries and generated $9.0 billion, $8.7 billion and $9.2 billion in revenues in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our global iconic lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, together generated over 95% of our revenue during each of 2025 and 2024, and over 90% of our revenue during 2023.
In addition to TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, which are owned, we previously owned a portfolio of other brands, including Warner’s, Olga and True&Co., which we owned until November 27, 2023, and Van Heusen, which we owned through the second quarter of 2021. We currently license Van Heusen, along with Nike and other brands, from third parties for certain product categories. We refer to our currently or previously owned and licensed trademarks, other than TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, as our “heritage brands” and the businesses we currently operate or previously operated under the heritage brands as our “Heritage Brands business.”
We design and market branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products. Our brands are positioned to sell globally at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer products to a broad range of consumers, reducing our reliance on any one price point, distribution channel or region. We also license the use of our trademarks to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our licensees’ expertise can better serve our brands.
We operate across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region (“APAC”). Our directly operated businesses consist principally of (i) wholesale sales under our owned and licensed trademarks; and (ii) the operation of retail stores and digital commerce sites under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks.
Our licensing activities principally relate to the licensing worldwide of our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks for a broad range of product categories as well as for certain territories.
We have evolved from our 1881 roots to become a global company of iconic brands through a combination of transformative acquisitions and by successfully growing our brands globally across key channels of distribution. The acquisitions of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (“Calvin Klein”) in February 2003, the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger B.V. and certain affiliated companies (“Tommy Hilfiger”) in May 2010, and the acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries in February 2013 are the ones most relevant to our current business. We also have acquired several regional licensed businesses and will continue to explore strategic acquisitions of licensed businesses, trademarks and companies, license take-backs and licensing opportunities that we believe are additive to our overall business.
We extended in November 2022 most of our licensing agreements with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”) for Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER in the United States and Canada, largely pertaining to the women’s apparel product categories sold at wholesale in North America. These agreements now have staggered expirations through 2026, the first of which occurred at the end of calendar 2023. We have been directly operating a significant portion of the businesses for the previously licensed product categories, and we intend to continue to directly operate a significant portion of these businesses as the license agreements expire, with the remainder being re-licensed to other third parties.
We completed the sale of our women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 (the “Heritage Brands intimates transaction”).
Reportable Segments
Effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, we changed our reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in our business and organizational structure. These changes included the reorganization of the executive leadership structure directly reporting to our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Our new organizational structure provides for the pairing of our global brands with commercial execution in geographic regions, underpinned by a demand- and data-driven operating model, making steady progress against the PVH+ Plan, our multi-year, strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and make us the leading brand building group in our sector. Our new reportable segments are: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) APAC, and (iv) Licensing. The new reportable segments reflect the way the Company is currently being managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Note 20, “Segment Data,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report contains financial information regarding our reportable segments, as well as other financial information, including our revenue by distribution channel, our revenue by brand, and our revenue based on geographic location. Our historical segment reporting has been recast to reflect the new organizational structure.

Our Business Strategy
The PVH+ Plan is our multi-year, strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and make PVH the leading brand building group in our sector. The PVH+ Plan is executed through five key growth drivers:
•Win with the best product by advancing our category offense with the best hero products and most relevant newness in the market.
•Win with the best consumer engagement, connecting our hero products with culturally relevant, aspirational talent by developing cut-through campaigns, igniting the power of our influencer engine and elevating the consumer experience at every touchpoint.
•Win in the digitally-led marketplace by growing our direct-to-consumer channels and key wholesale partnerships.
•Develop a demand- and data-driven operating model by connecting the planning, buying and selling of inventory closer to demand.
•Drive efficiencies and invest in growth while improving our cost competitiveness.
These five foundational growth drivers apply to each of our businesses and are activated in the regions to meet the unique expectations of our consumers around the world.
Additional Strategic Opportunities
Our strategic focus is on building the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands. As a result, we may seek to acquire licensed businesses and other opportunities to strengthen our management and oversight of our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands, such as allowing license agreements to expire in order to operate the businesses directly or with other partners. We also explore strategic acquisitions of trademarks and companies and opportunities to license third party trademarks that we believe are additive to our overall business. These benefits could include product category, platform capability expertise, brand positioning and design perspective needs.
Seasonality
Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our direct-to-consumer businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Licensing revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter tends to have the highest level of revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends.
Design and Merchandising
Our business relies on our ability to respond to consumer tastes and demands, while adhering to the DNA of our brands, providing competitive quality and sustainability in our products, and offering a compelling price/value proposition where our products are sold. Central to this is our global design mission to create an elevated, unified vision that connects fashion and culture with our target consumers. We craft standout products that differentiate our brands from competitors and support long-term business growth.
Our in-house design teams, together with our merchandising teams, are significant contributors to the continued strength of our brands. Each of our branded businesses employs its own team of designers and merchandisers that are responsible for conceptualizing and implementing the design direction for the brand across the consumer touchpoints of product, stores and marketing. Designers have access to the brands’ extensive archives of product designs, which are a valuable resource for new product concepts. Our designers collaborate with merchandising teams that analyze sales, market trends and consumer preferences to identify market opportunities that help guide each season’s design process and create a globally relevant product assortment. Leveraging our strategic investments in data and analytics tools, merchandisers are able to gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior that empowers our teams to respond to changes in consumer preferences and demand, as well as scale opportunities across brands with greater speed and efficiency. Our merchandising teams manage the
product life cycle to maximize sales and profitability across all channels. In an effort to keep our brands relevant, our teams also work with other brands and key collaborators to design and merchandise brand collaborations. These collaborations are intended to drive brand heat and product relevance with our target consumers.
Product Sourcing
We have an extensive established network of worldwide sourcing partners that enables us to meet our customers’ needs without relying on any one vendor or factory or on vendors or factories in any one country. Our products were produced in approximately 1,000 factories in approximately 30 countries during 2025. All of these factories were operated by independent manufacturers, with most located in Asia.
We primarily source finished products consisting of manufactured and fully assembled products ready for shipment to our customers and our stores. Finished product commitments are generally made two to six months prior to production. We believe that an ample number of alternative suppliers exist should we need to secure additional or replacement production capacity. We also work with vertical suppliers (companies that control multiple stages of the garment production process), resulting in shorter lead times, providing us with the flexibility to react more quickly to changing business needs. Additionally, we maintain strategic partnerships with suppliers of components, such as fabric and trim, to maintain the quality and aesthetic of our brands.
We purchase directly from finished goods suppliers through individual purchase orders that specify the price, quantity, delivery date and destination of the items to be produced. Sales are monitored regularly at both the retail and wholesale levels and modifications in production can be made either to increase or reduce inventories. We maintain long-term strategic partnerships with our vendors, allowing us to operate across multiple countries with a consistent supplier network. These partnerships, in addition to driving our business priorities of sourcing high quality products at the right price with the shortest lead times, also support our efforts to advance key corporate responsibility objectives.
The manufacturers of our products are required to meet our quality, legal, human rights, safety, environmental and cost requirements. Our global supply chain organization monitors the quality of the goods manufactured by, and the delivery performance of, our suppliers and works with our global compliance teams to ensure the enforcement of our legal, human rights, labor and environmental standards and other code of conduct requirements through our ongoing extensive training, approval and monitoring system. They also monitor and track the primary cost inputs to the finished product to ensure that we pay the most appropriate cost for our finished goods.
We continue to explore new areas of production that can grow with our businesses. Our country of origin strategy provides a flexible approach to product sourcing, which enables us to maximize regional opportunities and mitigate our potential exposure to risks associated with new duties, tariffs, surcharges, or other import controls or restrictions.
We also continue to develop strategies that can enhance the operational efficiency of our supply chain and unlock gross margin opportunities. In addition to expanding our use of 3D design technology to reduce the time needed to bring products to market, we have also utilized 3D showrooms to be more cost and time efficient. Speed is another critical focus area across the Company. We have implemented various speed models, core replenishment and read and react capabilities for select categories to enhance our operations and make our business model more dynamic and responsive, while also increasing service levels, reducing inventory exposure and improving quality and consumer value. We believe the enhancement of our supply chain efficiencies and working capital management through the effective use of our distribution network and overall infrastructure will allow us to control costs better and provide improved service to our customers.
Please see our risk factors “China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations,” “We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations,” “If our suppliers, licensees, or other business partners, or the suppliers used by our licensees, fail to use legal and ethical business practices, our business could suffer,” and “We depend on third parties to manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our business” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion.
Corporate Responsibility
Corporate responsibility is a key factor in our ability to achieve the PVH+ Plan. Our industry depends on essential, but finite, resources—such as energy, water and raw materials. Any changes within these systems can impact resource availability and costs, directly impacting our global operations. This volatility requires agility and resilience—so we can continue delivering products desirable to our consumers based on design, quality and value.
As part of our data-driven approach to sustainability, we are focused on addressing the areas where our business has the highest impact and that pose the greatest material risk.
•Climate – Transitioning to net zero, evolving our products and operations to preserve resources and nature.
•Human Rights – Respecting, promoting and realizing fundamental principles and rights for the people working in our supply chain.
•Inclusion and Diversity – Promoting inclusion, belonging and opportunity for the advancement of our associates and communities.
We issue an annual Corporate Responsibility Report that can be found on our corporate website – PVH.com.
Warehousing, Distribution and Logistics
Our products are shipped from manufacturers to our wholesale and retail warehousing and distribution centers for inspection, sorting, packing and shipment. Centers range in size, and our main facilities, some of which are owned and operated by independent third parties, are located in the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Australia. Our warehousing and distribution centers are designed to provide responsive service to our wholesale and digital commerce customers, as well as our retail stores, on a cost-effective basis.
Material Customers
Our largest customers account for a meaningful portion of our revenue. Sales to our five largest customers were 16.6% of our revenue in 2025, 15.1% of our revenue in 2024 and 13.3% of our revenue in 2023. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our revenue in 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Advertising and Promotion
Our marketing programs are an integral component of our brands’ relevance and success of the products offered under them. We are focused on driving consumer engagement though a digital-first 360° approach around key hero products and key consumer moments, utilizing our iconic brands as creative platforms for collaborations, capsule collections and experiential events, and partnering with culturally relevant talent, including high-profile brand ambassadors and notable social media talent, to build brand heat. Our initiatives fuse entertainment, pop culture, and sports with digital engagement and commerce in innovative ways that digitally immerse consumers.
We build each of our brands to be a leader in its respective market segment, with strong consumer awareness, relevance and consumer loyalty. We design and market our products to complement each other, satisfy lifestyle needs, deliver a strong price/value proposition, encourage consumer loyalty and emphasize product features important to our target consumers, including sustainability attributes.
Our marketing and advertising efforts encompass social media, public relations, brand experiences and regional activations. Our in-house teams coordinate our brands’ marketing and advertising, tailoring the overall consumer experience for all regions and product lines, and across all channels of distribution. This ensures a personalized consumer journey that connects with global audiences while maintaining local relevance, engaging communities through powerful and authentic brand moments. Additionally, the TOMMY HILFIGER brand marketing and communications team coordinates personal appearances by Mr. Tommy Hilfiger, including at key events, further strengthening the brand’s iconic status.
Digital media is central to our strategy, with significant investment in our digital commerce and social media platforms. Tommy Hilfiger’s digital commerce site, tommy.com, and Calvin Klein’s digital commerce site, calvinklein.com,
serve as key marketing vehicles, offering a broad range of apparel and lifestyle products. Innovative activations including sports sponsorships and partnerships with digital creators further solidify TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein’s cultural relevance and drive brand awareness.
Our approach is intended to ensure a consistent consumer experience in the digitally led marketplace that is seamlessly connected both online and offline, across our digital commerce, retail and wholesale channels.
Trademarks
We own the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, as well as related trademarks (e.g., the TOMMY HILFIGER flag logo and crest design). Our owned trademarks are registered for use in each of the primary countries where our products are sold and additional applications for registration of these and other trademarks are made in jurisdictions to accommodate new marks, uses in additional trademark classes or additional categories of goods or expansion into new countries.
Mr. Tommy Hilfiger is prohibited in perpetuity from using, or authorizing others to use, the TOMMY HILFIGER marks (except for the use by Mr. Hilfiger of his name personally and in connection with certain specified activities). In addition, we are prohibited in perpetuity from selling products not ordinarily sold under the names of prestige designer businesses or prestige global lifestyle brands without Mr. Hilfiger’s consent, from engaging in new lines of business materially different from such types of lines of business without Mr. Hilfiger’s consent, or from disparaging or intentionally tarnishing the TOMMY HILFIGER-related marks or Mr. Hilfiger’s personal name.
Mr. Calvin Klein retains the right to use his name, on a non-competitive basis, with respect to his right of publicity, unless those rights are already being used in our Calvin Klein business. Mr. Klein also has been granted a royalty-free worldwide right to use the Calvin Klein mark with respect to certain personal businesses and activities, subject to certain limitations designed to protect the image and prestige of the Calvin Klein brands and to avoid competitive conflicts.
Our trademarks are the subject of registrations and pending applications throughout the world for use on a variety of apparel, footwear and related products, as well as licensed product categories and other trademark classes relevant to how we conduct business. We continue to expand our worldwide usage and registration of new and related trademarks. In general, trademarks remain valid and enforceable as long as the marks continue to be used in connection with the products and services with which they are identified and, as to registered tradenames, the required registration renewals are filed. In markets where products bearing any of our brands are not sold by us or any of our licensees or other authorized users, our rights to the use of trademarks may not be clearly established.
Our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are valuable assets and we vigorously seek to protect them on a worldwide basis against infringement. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights. The TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and their price positioning provides opportunity and incentive for counterfeiters and infringers. We have broad, proactive enforcement programs that we believe have been effective in controlling the sale of counterfeit products and preventing or canceling the registrations of infringing trademarks globally. Please see our risk factor “We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion.
Competition
The apparel industry is competitive as a result of its fashion orientation, mix of large and small producers, low barriers to entry for digitally native brands, the flow of domestic and imported merchandise and the wide diversity of retailing methods. We compete with numerous global domestic and foreign designers, brand owners, manufacturers and retailers of apparel, accessories and footwear, including, in certain circumstances, the private label brands of our wholesale customers. Additionally, with the substantial growth in the digital channel, there are more companies in the apparel sector and an increased level of transparency in pricing and product comparisons, which impacts purchasing decisions. Consumers also are increasingly focused on circularity with respect to apparel, and the option from new market players to rent or purchase pre-owned apparel also is impacting purchasing decisions.
We believe we are well-positioned to compete in the apparel industry on the basis of style, quality, price and service. Our business depends on our ability to remain competitive in these areas, as well as on our ability to stimulate consumer tastes and demand through our product offerings and marketing and advertising efforts. Our brands are positioned to sell globally at
various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer differentiated products to a broad range of consumers, reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, product category, price point, distribution channel or region. Our brands have long histories and enjoy high recognition and awareness within their respective consumer segments. The worldwide consumer recognition of the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands provides us with significant global opportunities to expand their global penetration in existing markets, into new markets and into additional product categories. Please see our risk factor “We face intense competition in the apparel industry” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion.
Imports and Import Restrictions
Most of our products are imported into the countries where they are sold. These products are subject to various customs laws and other laws and regulations impacting imports. The United States and other countries in which we sell our products, among other things, may impose, from time to time, new duties, tariffs, surcharges, or other import controls or restrictions, or adjust presently prevailing duty or tariff rates or levels. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States, with incremental tariffs on products imported from most countries and economic unions, and the potential for further increases and revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements. In response, some countries and economic unions have implemented or are considering retaliatory tariffs on United States exports and other trade restrictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. federal government were unconstitutional. In response to that decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. These actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. We continue to analyze the impact of incremental tariffs on our business and are taking steps to mitigate our tariff exposure to the extent possible. Additionally, other governmental actions, such as the imposition by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) of Withhold Release Orders (“WROs”), have had, continue to have and, in the future, may have an impact on our ability to import goods or to manufacture in or use materials or components from certain locations. We, therefore, continuously monitor import restrictions and developments. We seek to minimize, where appropriate and possible, our potential exposure to import related risks through, among other measures, adjustments in product design and fabrication, shifts of production among countries (including consideration of countries with tariff preference and free trade agreements) and manufacturers, and geographical diversification of our sources of supply. In some instances, production of a specific product category, component parts or raw materials may be highly concentrated in one country, giving us less flexibility to make adjustments. Additionally, because our competitors are impacted similarly to us, demand for and availability of alternative resources can be impacted, which may limit our alternatives or increase their cost.
Our industry has experienced, and we have been impacted by, increased regulation and enforcement, in particular in regards to concerns around forced labor in supply chains. Please see our risk factor “We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion. Additionally, we could be subject to import restrictions due to regulatory actions. Please see our risk factor “China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion.
Government Regulations
Our business is subject to various United States federal, state, and local and foreign laws and regulations, including trade, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In addition, we may incur liability under environmental statutes and regulations with respect to the contamination of sites that we own or operate or previously owned or operated (including contamination caused by prior owners and operators of such sites and neighboring properties, or other persons) and the off-site disposal of hazardous materials. We maintain a policy of compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in all countries and regions in which we operate and in line with established industry standards and practices. Please see Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for additional information on the potential effects that compliance with government regulations may have on our business.
Human Capital Resources
We believe that attracting, developing and retaining a capable and well-rounded workforce is critical to our long-term success. To facilitate talent attraction and retention, we strive to create a strong associate experience and a welcoming workplace, with opportunities for our associates to grow and develop in their careers, supported by competitive compensation, benefits and health and well-being programs, and by programs that build connections between our associates and their communities.
Governance and Oversight
The PVH Board of Directors and its committees provide oversight on human capital matters. The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee is charged, in part, with monitoring issues of corporate conduct and culture, and provides oversight of inclusion and diversity policies and programs as it relates to our management development, talent assessment and succession planning programs and processes. The Board’s Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for monitoring policies and performance related to corporate responsibility, including employment and workers’ rights, and matters relating to health and safety (with particular regard to building and fire safety and health conditions in our supply chains). In addition, our Executive Leadership Team is regularly engaged in the development and management of key associate programs and initiatives, guiding our culture, associate experience, and talent development programs.
Associate Information
As of February 1, 2026, we employed approximately 26,000 associates, of which approximately 11,000 associates were employed on a part-time basis. Approximately 34% of our associates are employed in the United States. Approximately 64% of our associates are employed in Company-operated retail stores, 31% are assigned to offices and 5% are employed in warehousing and distribution facilities. Our use of seasonal workers is not significant and is largely associated with the Christmas and Lunar New Year selling periods. Approximately 2% of our total associate population is represented by two different unions in the United States for the purpose of collective bargaining. Our collective bargaining agreements generally are for three-year terms. In some international markets, a significant percentage of associates are covered by governmental labor arrangements. Additionally, we have one or more works councils in several European countries. Works councils are organizations that represent workers in respect to certain actions management seeks to take that could have a broad effect on the workers. We believe that our relations with our associates are good.
Inclusion and Diversity
One of PVH’s greatest strengths is our people, and our collective desire to create an inclusive workplace where every individual is valued, and every voice is heard. Our people and their unique lived experiences and perspectives are essential to our strategy to accelerate growth.
As a global company serving consumers worldwide with operations in more than 40 countries, inclusion and diversity is integral to building Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and making PVH the leading brand building group in our sector. Both of our iconic brands have a long history of celebrating individuality – it is a part of our DNA, enabling us to connect more deeply with our diverse global consumer base.
Our Chief People Officer and Global Head of Inclusion and Diversity, Impact and Calvin Klein Sustainability lead the development and implementation of an integrated global inclusion and diversity strategy and work to enhance our ability to attract, develop, retain and promote all of our talent.
Talent Management and Development
Our talent management and development processes support associate performance, development, and talent and succession planning. We review succession plans and conduct assessments to identify talent needs and growth paths for our associates on a biannual basis. We have designed a global talent strategy that links our talent management initiatives directly to our development efforts and we continually measure the impact of these efforts to ensure both the business leaders and talent community are effectively aligned.
Developing our associates and strengthening our leadership succession bench continues to be a key strategic priority for us. In 2025, we conducted a robust global talent planning exercise to assess the potential of our leaders and deepen our succession bench, focusing on both enterprise and business critical roles. We delivered new leveled leadership development programs for our global Senior Vice President, Vice President and Director populations, in addition to both live-led and self-directed digital learning offerings. Our programs are focused on building a high performing culture based upon developing leadership skills, coaching and constructive feedback. Our newly revitalized user experience global learning platform, Learning Studio, is available globally to all associates, including retail associates, and provides critical resources, tools and frameworks for both people managers and associates throughout the associate experience. MentorMatch is a global mentoring program that we offer with the goal of democratizing mentorship through an inclusive approach that accelerates professional development with networking and exposure to new ways of thinking.
Compensation, Benefits and Well-Being
We are committed to providing market competitive compensation and benefits, tailoring our offerings to the countries and regions where our associates work to meet our associates’ needs locally, and aligning with the differing levels and types of government-provided and mandated benefits. These benefits include retirement plan benefits, corporate well-being programs, flexible working arrangements, a global employee assistance program, paid parental and other supportive leaves, recognition programs (for exemplary work, work anniversaries, etc.) and an associate discount program.
We recognize how important it is for our associates to take care of themselves and their families, and we provide benefit programs and services that support associates’ and their dependents’ physical, mental and financial health. Programs like Personify Health and Headspace are offered globally to promote well-being, and we close the majority of our global offices in recognition of World Mental Health Day. Associates have the flexibility to balance work and personal needs through our time-off policies and programs, including paid time off, competitive holidays and the ability to work from anywhere up to four weeks each year.
We are committed to providing fair and equitable compensation. We have established a global job framework with consistent guidelines and principles on compensation. Annually, we engage third party consultants with expertise in compensation market data to benchmark our pay against industry peers and set our compensation based on market practice. Periodically, we conduct pay equity analyses to ensure that we are paying equitably regardless of gender or ethnicity.
We are committed to supporting our associates in times of need. We have established a company- and associate-funded Associate Relief Fund that provides grants to eligible associates experiencing personal hardship due to natural disasters, personal calamities and other events.
Associate and Community Engagement
We believe it is critical that our associates are informed and engaged. We communicate frequently with our associates through a variety of methods, including our news app, PVH Insider+, which reaches associates around the world; our intranet site, Insider+; town hall meetings on regional, business-wide and global bases; and our regular global PVH Listens survey, as well as pulse surveys. We develop action plans based on the insights from these communications to strengthen programs and address any concerns to enhance associate experience.
Local community engagement activities exist in all major office locations. Our global philanthropic efforts are led by The PVH Foundation, a nonprofit corporation which supports global, national, and local nonprofits in communities where our associates work and live. The PVH Foundation provides our corporate associates with donation matching opportunities to increase their impact. Many of our associates are also offered paid time off each year to volunteer with organizations of their choice.
We encourage you to read our annual Corporate Responsibility Report on our PVH.com corporate website for more detailed information regarding our social and corporate governance programs and initiatives. None of our corporate website, our Corporate Responsibility Report nor any portions thereof are incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other information set forth herein when evaluating our business and the forward-looking statements made herein. The occurrence of one or more of the circumstances or events described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may occur or become material and also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Business and Operational Risks
A meaningful portion of our revenue and gross profit is derived from a small number of large wholesale customers and the loss of any of these customers or significant financial difficulties in their businesses could substantially reduce our revenue.
A small number of our wholesale customers account for a meaningful portion of our revenue. Sales to our five largest customers were 16.6%, 15.1% and 13.3% of our revenue in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our revenue in any such year.
We do not have long-term agreements with any of our large wholesale customers and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis. A decision by any major customer, whether motivated by marketing strategy, competitive conditions, financial difficulties, perceptions of us or our brands, or otherwise, to decrease significantly the amount of merchandise purchased from us or our licensing or other partners, or to change their manner of doing business with us or our licensing or other partners for any reason, including due to store closures, reduced consumer traffic, changes in consumer shopping habits, or product delivery delays, could reduce substantially our revenue and materially adversely affect our profitability. During periods of weakened consumer spending and low consumer sentiment, whether due to inflation, recessionary fears, weakened buying power, price increases due to shortages, tariffs or other trade policies, or otherwise, our wholesale customers may be more cautious with orders or may slow investments necessary to maintain a high quality in-store experience for consumers, which may result in lower sales of our products.
The retail industry has seen a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes, as well as store closing programs, restructurings, reorganizations, management changes and activist shareholder campaigns. We expect these disruptions to be ongoing, particularly as omnichannel strategies and digital commerce continue to grow, and consumer shopping and buying habits change. In the future, retailers also may reposition their stores’ target markets or marketing strategies. Any of these types of actions could result in a further decrease in the number of stores to which we can sell, to which we want to sell or which want to carry our products, and there can be no assurance that these sales can be fully offset by sales through digital channels. Additionally, stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and reduce the retail floor space designated for our brands. These changes could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of customers or decrease our negotiating strength with our customers. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to continue to develop and grow our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses.
Our PVH+ Plan strategy involves growing our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses. Our achievement of revenue and profitability growth from these businesses will depend largely upon our ability to:
•continue to maintain and enhance the distinctive brand identities of the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands;
•continue to maintain good working relationships with our brand licensees and enter into new, or renew or extend existing, license agreements and successfully transition licensed businesses in house, including our in-process plan to directly operate a significant portion of the businesses for the product categories that are or had been licensed to G-III,
our largest licensee of both brands, upon the expirations of the underlying license agreements, with the remainder being re-licensed to other third parties; and
•continue to strengthen and expand the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses.
We cannot assure you that we can execute successfully any of these actions, nor can we assure you that the launch of any additional product lines or businesses by us or our licensees or that the continued offering of these lines will achieve the degree of consistent success necessary to generate profits or positive cash flow. Our ability to carry out our growth strategy successfully may be affected by, among other things, our ability to enhance our relationships with existing customers to obtain additional selling space or add additional product lines, our ability to develop new relationships with retailers, the ability of our new licensees to maintain and improve upon prior sales levels of licensed product categories, competitive conditions, changes in consumer shopping and spending patterns (including due to economic conditions or price increases caused by shortages, increases in duties or tariffs, or other factors), and changes in consumer tastes and style trends. If we fail to continue to develop and grow our businesses, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Our success depends on the value of our “TOMMY HILFIGER” and “Calvin Klein” brands and, if the value of either of those brands were to diminish, our business could be adversely affected.
Our success depends on our brands and their value. The TOMMY HILFIGER name is integral to the existing Tommy Hilfiger business, as well as to our strategies for continuing to grow and expand the business. Mr. Hilfiger, who continues his role of Principal Designer, is closely identified with the TOMMY HILFIGER brands and any negative perception with respect to Mr. Hilfiger could adversely affect the brands. In addition, under Mr. Hilfiger’s employment agreement, if his employment is terminated for any reason, his agreement not to compete with the Tommy Hilfiger business will expire two years after such termination. Although Mr. Hilfiger could not use any TOMMY HILFIGER trademark in connection with a competitive business, his association with a competitive business could adversely affect the Tommy Hilfiger business. We also have exposure with respect to the Calvin Klein brands, which are integral to the existing Calvin Klein business and could be adversely affected if Mr. Klein’s public image or reputation were to be tarnished.
In addition, brand value and reputation, and consumer patronage could diminish significantly due to numerous other factors, including consumer attitudes regarding social and political issues, consumer perceptions of our position on these issues, the positions taken by celebrities, athletes and others who promote our products (and our response to the same), a belief that we or our business partners have acted in an irresponsible or unacceptable manner (including in respect of human rights events in our supply chain), or environmental impact or sustainability claims made in regard to products under our brands. Negative claims or publicity regarding the TOMMY HILFIGER or Calvin Klein brands, stores or products, including stores operated by business partners and licensed products, or regarding celebrities, athletes and others who promote our products, as well as our treatment of employees and customers, particularly when made on social media, which has the potential to rapidly accelerate the timing and reach of negative publicity, also could adversely affect the brands’ reputations and our sales even if the subject of such publicity is unverified or inaccurate and we seek to correct it.
China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations.
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the Provisions of the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL Provisions”). In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, we submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February 2025, it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the UEL. We do not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures as a result of the listing or what they will be if any are imposed. According to the UEL Provisions, potential measures could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of our relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of our relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No measures have been imposed on us at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include our inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, our inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or our inability to make investments in China.
We cannot currently predict the duration or impact of any measures that may ultimately be imposed. The imposition and enforcement of measures against us could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations.
Furthermore, if, as a result of any such measures, it is necessary for us to cease certain or all operations in China, it may result in charges related to excess inventory and difficulty collecting trade receivables, among other things. We may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Additionally, if the production of our products in China ceases, our business could be impacted more broadly and we may need or decide to shift production to other jurisdictions. Please see the risk factors entitled “We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations. and We depend on third parties to manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our business.” for additional information.
Increased regulation and stakeholder scrutiny regarding our corporate responsibility matters, could result in additional costs or risks and adversely impact our reputation.
There is a focus from certain consumers, investors, our associates and other stakeholders on corporate responsibility matters, which has led to increased pressure to expand our disclosures, ensure labor and other sustainability standards within our value chain, make and establish corporate responsibility goals, and take actions to meet them, which could expose us to regulatory, legal, market, operational and execution costs or risks. The emergence of legislation and regulation regarding marketing of goods, business practices, and public reporting and disclosures related to issues under the corporate responsibility umbrella in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and various U.S.-state-level regulations, could also lead to risks associated with non-compliance. We seek to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and have established focus areas and targets under our corporate responsibility strategy in respect to many measures, including in regard to greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and usage of more environmentally preferred materials and packaging, and human rights. There can be no assurance that we can achieve compliance without significant impact on our business or results of operations or that our stakeholders will agree with our strategy or that we will be successful in achieving our goals. This could result in our inability to achieve our targets or comply with reporting regulations. In addition, we could be criticized by stakeholders, regulators, or other interested parties for the scope or nature of our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals or for any revisions to these goals, including negative responses by governmental actors (such as anti-sustainability legislation or retaliatory legislative treatment) or consumers (such as boycotts or negative publicity campaigns). Any of these occurrences could adversely affect our reputation and the reputation of our brands, sales and demand for our products, retention of our associates, willingness of our suppliers to do business with us, and investor interest in our securities.
Our cost-saving initiatives may not generate the intended benefits or attain the projected cost savings we anticipate.
We have embarked and may continue to embark on initiatives to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization, such as our Growth Driver 5 Actions and 2022 cost savings initiative described in Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. Our ability to realize anticipated benefits and cost savings from these initiatives are subject to many estimates and assumptions, which may change during implementation and execution. In addition, there can be no assurance regarding the timing of or extent to which we will realize the anticipated cost savings. We may also face disruptions to our business or operations as we execute on the initiatives.
Our inability to execute our digital commerce strategy could materially adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our revenue and our operating results may be harmed.
Growing digital revenue, both with respect to our direct-to-consumer businesses and our wholesale business (i.e., sales to pure play and digital commerce businesses of traditional retailers), continues to be a focus for us, representing approximately 20% of our total revenue during 2025. Our success depends, in part, on third parties and factors over which we have limited control, including changing consumer preferences and buying trends relating to digital commerce usage and promotional or other advertising initiatives employed by our wholesale customers or other third parties on their digital commerce sites. Any failure on our part, or on the part of our digital partners, to provide digital commerce platforms that attract consumers, build our brands, provide a satisfactory consumer purchasing experience and result in repeat consumer purchases could result in diminished brand image, relevance and loyalty, and lost revenue. Additionally, as online channels continue to grow in importance, the failure to attract new and existing consumers to our digital commerce channels and those operated by our wholesale partners and franchisees will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our operation of digital commerce sites poses risks and uncertainties including:
•changes in required technology interfaces;
•website downtime and other technical failures;
•costs and technical issues from website software upgrades;
•potential failure to successfully implement any new or upgraded system or platform without disruption to our operations;
•data and system security;
•computer viruses and other malicious acts; and
•changes in applicable laws and regulations.
Keeping current with technology, competitive trends, security and the like may increase our costs and may not succeed in increasing sales or attracting consumers. Our failure to respond successfully to these risks and uncertainties might adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our revenue and results of operations.
The success of our digital strategy depends, in part, on consumer satisfaction, including timely receipt of orders. Fulfillment of these orders requires different logistics operations than for our retail store and wholesale customer operations. We need adequate capacity, systems and operations to sustain and support the continued growth in our digital commerce businesses. If we encounter difficulties with our operation of our directly operated distribution facilities or in our relationships with the third parties who operate our other distribution facilities, or if any such facilities were to shut down or be limited in capacity for any reason, including as a result of fire or other casualty, natural disaster, systems disruption (including as a result of ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks), labor shortage or other interruption, including as a result of epidemics and other health-related concerns (such as had occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic), or if there is a significant increase in demand for shipping capacity (as was the case due to the pandemic), we may experience (and, due to these factors in the past, have experienced) disruption or delay in distributing our products to our consumers, which could result in consumer dissatisfaction and lost sales. Additionally, in the event of any of the foregoing, we may incur higher costs than anticipated to ensure smooth and timely operation. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the reputation of our brands and our revenue and results of operations.
Global economic conditions, including volatility in the financial and credit markets, may adversely affect our business.
Economic conditions in the past have adversely affected, and in the future may adversely affect, our business, our customers and licensees and their businesses, and our financing and contractual arrangements, as a result of, among other factors, pandemics, inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic pressures, such as tariffs imposed and threatened in 2025 and 2026 on goods imported into the United States, elevated interest rates, the risk of recession, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East and its broader macroeconomic implications, and disruptions that have been occurring in the Red Sea. Such conditions, amongst other things, have resulted, and in the future may result, in financial difficulties leading to restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers and licensees, may cause customers to reduce or discontinue orders of our products and licensed products sold by our licensees, and may result in customers being unable to pay us for products they have purchased from us and licensees being unable to pay us royalties owed to us. Financial difficulties of business partners also may affect their ability to access credit markets or lead to higher credit risk relating to receivables from them.
Volatility in the financial and credit markets due, in part, to inflationary pressures or other macroeconomic or geopolitical factors, could also make it more difficult or expensive for us to obtain financing or refinance existing debt when the need arises, or on terms that would be acceptable to us. We have senior unsecured term loans (€408 million outstanding as of the end of 2025) and senior unsecured notes (€600.0 million principal amount) coming due in 2027 that will need to be paid or refinanced.
We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations.
Our apparel, footwear and accessories are produced by and purchased or procured from independent manufacturers in approximately 30 countries, with most being located in Asia. Although no single supplier or country is or is expected to become
critical to our production needs, any of the following could materially and adversely affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and, as a result, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:
•political or labor instability or military conflict involving any of the countries where we, our contractors, or our suppliers operate, which could cause a delay in the production or transportation of our products to us and an increase in production and transportation costs;
•heightened terrorism security concerns, which could subject imported or exported goods to additional, more frequent or more thorough inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundments of goods for extended periods or could result in decreased scrutiny by customs officials for counterfeit goods, leading to lost sales, increased costs for our anti-counterfeiting measures and damage to the reputation of our brands;
•limitations on our ability to source raw materials or goods produced in a country that is a major provider due to political, human rights, labor, environmental, animal cruelty or other concerns;
•a significant decrease in factory and shipping capacity or a significant increase in demand for such capacity;
•a significant increase in wage, freight, shipping and other logistics costs, including as a result of disruption at ports of entry, which could result in increased freight and other logistics costs;
•natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, wildfires and droughts, the frequency of some of which may be increasing due to climate change, could result in closed factories and scarcity of raw materials (particularly cotton);
•disease epidemics and other health related concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in (and in the case of the pandemic, did result in certain of the following) a significant decrease in factory and shipping capacity, closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;
•the migration and development of manufacturers, which could affect where our products are or are planned to be produced;
•the adoption of regulations, quotas and other restrictions relating to imports and our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations, which, among other things, could limit our ability to produce products in cost-effective countries that have the labor and expertise needed;
•the implementation of new or increased duties, tariffs, taxes and other charges on imports;
•the regulation or prohibition of the transaction of business with specific individuals or entities and their affiliates or goods manufactured in certain regions, such as the listing of a person or entity as a SDN (Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons) by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the issuance of WROs by the CBP; and
•legal or regulatory issues, such as those resulting from our listing on the UEL, could result in manufacturers or others in our supply chain being prohibited from, or choosing against, conducting business with us or our business partners or from others working with our licensees, franchisees or other business partners.
There continues to be uncertainty in the current global trade environment due to recent changes in, and proposals and declared intentions to change trade policy, including trade restrictions, the negotiation, renegotiation or termination of trade agreements, and the imposition of new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs on imports into the affected countries. Recent legal and policy developments have further increased uncertainty. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. federal government were unconstitutional. In response to that decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. There is significant uncertainty regarding further trade policy actions, including whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and in the amount and timing of tariff refunds.
Tariffs and other changes in trade policy have triggered in the past, are currently triggering and could continue to trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including through the use of counter tariffs and other measures, which could
result in a higher cost or restrictions on the importation of the products we sell. We continuously look for alternative sourcing options, but we may not be able to shift timely, if at all, production from a country when new or increased duties, tariffs, taxes or other charges are imposed. In addition, higher costs in sourcing from other countries, including because others in the industry are looking to move production for the same reason, may make the move price-prohibitive. We may not be able to pass the entire cost increase resulting from tariffs, duties, taxes or other expenses onto consumers or could choose not to. Any increase in prices to consumers could have an adverse impact on our direct sales to consumers, as well as sales by our wholesale customers and our licensees. Any adverse impact on such sales or increase in our cost of goods sold could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Various actions by the United States Government, including SDN designations, have prohibited or limited the business that companies like us and, in many cases, our business partners, can conduct with numerous individuals, companies and entities, or where we or they can produce or sell products under our brands, whether directly or indirectly. These and other U.S. government actions, such as the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and the issuance of WROs, have affected and could continue to affect the sourcing and availability of raw materials used by our suppliers in the manufacturing of certain of our products and our importation of goods into the United States and elsewhere. These and related matters also have been subject to significant scrutiny in China, the United States and elsewhere, resulting in criticism against multinational companies, including us, as discussed in the risk factor entitled “China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations.” As a consequence, these matters (and matters like them) have the potential to affect our revenue, our results of operations and the reputation of our brands and us. In addition, while we make efforts to confirm that SDNs, people and materials covered by WROs, and other sanctioned entities, people and materials are not present in our supply chain, we could be subject to penalties, fines or sanctions (including on a strict liability basis) if any of the vendors from which we purchase goods is found to have dealings, directly or indirectly, with SDNs or other sanctioned persons or in banned materials.
An additional risk that is related to the foreign production of goods is in regard to the transportation of goods from such foreign locations. Strikes, work slowdowns and stoppages and other actions at ports of shipment and entry could slow or stop the inflow of goods. Additionally, shipments are threatened by piracy, military actions and terrorism on shipping routes (like the disruptions that have been occurring in the Red Sea), and similar actions. The impact of these conditions could be the same as described in the risk factor entitled “We depend on third parties to manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our business.”
Our business is heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to travel and shop.
Reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, whether in our own retail stores or the stores operated by our business partners, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Reductions could result from economic conditions, fuel shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, such as droughts and extreme heat, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of terrorist attacks. Disease epidemics and other health-related concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, also could result in (and, in the case of the pandemic, did result in) closed stores, reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers become ill or limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure, or governments impose mandatory business closures, travel restrictions, vaccine mandates or the like to prevent the spread of disease. Conflicts and wars, or the perceived threat of war, also could result in (and, in the case of the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East has resulted in and the Israel-Hamas war did result in) closed stores (those operated by us and/or by our business partners), and reduced consumer traffic and purchasing. Inflation, recessionary fears, and price increases due to shortages, tariffs or other trade policies, could result in weakened consumer spending and lower consumer sentiment, which may result in lower sales of our products. Additionally, political or civil unrest and demonstrations also could affect consumer traffic and purchasing.
Our U.S. retail store operations are a material contributor to our revenue. The majority of our United States stores are located away from major residential centers or near vacation destinations, making travel and tourism a critical factor in their success. These retail businesses historically also have had a significant portion of their revenue attributable to sales to international tourists and, as such, have been negatively affected by the decrease in international tourists traveling to the United States. In addition to the factors discussed above, international tourism to the United States could be reduced, as could the extent to which international tourists shop at our stores, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan. Reductions in international tourist traffic and spending have had, and in the future may have, a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Other factors that could affect the success of our stores include:
•the location of the store or mall, including the location of a particular store within the mall;
•the other tenants of the mall;
•increased competition in areas where the stores or malls are located;
•the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the store or mall;
•the changing patterns of consumer shopping behavior;
•increased competition from online retailers; and
•the diversion of sales from our retail stores to our digital commerce sites.
If our suppliers, licensees, or other business partners, or the suppliers used by our licensees, fail to use legal and ethical business practices, our business could suffer.
We require our suppliers, licensees and other business partners, and the suppliers used by our licensees, to operate in compliance with international labor standards and applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance. Additionally, we impose upon our business partners operating guidelines that require additional obligations in order to promote ethical business practices. We require that third parties audit the operations of these independent parties to determine compliance. However, we do not oversee the entirety of the operations and supply chains utilized by our business partners and our licensees, including with respect to their labor, manufacturing and other business practices in their supply chains. Our industry has experienced and we have been impacted by increased regulation and enforcement, in particular in regards to concerns around forced labor in supply chains.
If any of these suppliers or business partners violates labor, environmental, building and fire safety, or other laws or implements labor, manufacturing or other business practices that are generally regarded as unethical, the shipment of finished products to us or our customers could be interrupted, orders could be canceled and relationships could be terminated. Further, we could be prohibited from importing or exporting goods by governmental authorities. In addition, we could be the focus of adverse publicity and our reputation and the reputation of our brands could be damaged. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and, consequently, our results of operations.
We depend on third parties to manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our business.
We depend on third parties to manufacture all products that we sell. A manufacturer’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner, as well as logistics disruptions, or for manufacturers to meet required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those products, as well as prime selling periods in our direct-to-consumer channels. As a result, customers could cancel their orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices. Additionally, we may need to be more promotional in our direct-to-consumer channels, and we may also miss sales that would otherwise occur when our stores are properly merchandised. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and, consequently, our results of operations.
Legal or reputational issues, such as those resulting from our listing on the UEL, could result in manufacturers or others in our supply chain being prohibited from, or choosing against, conducting business with us or our business partners. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and, consequently, our results of operations.
Our business is susceptible to risks associated with climate change and environmental degradation, and to an increased focus by stakeholders on climate change action and sustainability standards, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our business is susceptible to risks associated by some parties with climate change and environmental degradation, including potential disruptions to our supply chain and impacts on the availability and costs of raw materials. Extreme heat as well as increased frequency and severity of adverse weather events (such as storms and floods) due to climate change could cause increased incidence of disruption to the production and distribution of our products, an adverse impact on consumer demand and spending, and/or more frequent store closures and/or lost sales as customers prioritize basic needs. Our supply
chain is also exposed to risks associated with water, including drought and water scarcity, which could impact raw materials sourcing, manufacturing processes, and workers and communities. In addition, evolving climate-related legislation and disclosure requirements, and the potential for more, coupled with carbon taxes and fluctuating costs of sourcing renewable energy, may also increase our compliance costs and operational complexity, including implementation of new information technology systems and the development of controls and processes to ensure completeness and accuracy of the reported data. Certain of our wholesale customers have also begun to establish sourcing requirements related to sustainability. As a result, we have received requests for sustainability related information about our products and, in some cases, customers have required that certain of our products include sustainable materials or packaging, which may result in higher raw material and production costs. Our inability to comply with these and other sustainability requirements in the future could adversely affect sales of and demand for our products. Further, certain online sellers of our products have begun to identify to consumers and help consumers limit purchases to product the sellers identify as being more sustainable. Our failure to offer products that meet these sustainability standards could result in decreased demand for our products and lost sales.
We are dependent on a limited number of distribution facilities. If one becomes inoperable, our business, financial condition and operating results could be negatively impacted.
We operate a limited number of distribution facilities and also engage independently operated distribution facilities around the world to warehouse and ship products to our customers and our retail stores, as well as perform related logistics services. Our ability to meet the needs of our customers and of our retail stores depends on the proper operation of our primary facilities. If any of our primary facilities were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible, including as a result of epidemic or other health-related concerns (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or a cybersecurity incident, we could have a substantial loss of inventory or disruptions of deliveries to our customers and our stores, incur significantly higher costs or experience longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products. This could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.
The apparel industry, particularly in the United States, is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition, consolidation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products, retailer demands for allowances, incentives and other forms of economic support, and changes in consumer demand. These factors may cause us to reduce our sales prices to retailers and consumers, which could cause our profitability to decline if we are unable to offset price reductions with sufficient reductions in product costs or operating expenses.
Volatility in the availability and prices for commodities and raw materials we use in our products (such as cotton) and inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures, including, for example, the increased costs of labor and raw materials we experienced in 2022 and the first half of 2023 and the new and additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States that took effect beginning in the second quarter of 2025, have resulted in increased pricing pressures and, in turn, pressure on our margins. We have implemented in the past, and in the future may seek to implement price increases to mitigate higher costs but such actions have not always fully mitigated and, in the future, we may not be able to fully mitigate, the impact of any higher costs. Further, any such price increases could have an adverse impact on consumer demand for our products. In addition, consumer spending has been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by reduced earnings power resulting from inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures, which has resulted, and may continue to result in, lower sales of our products, increased inventories, order cancellations, higher discounts, pricing pressure, higher inventory levels industry-wide, and lower gross margins.
We may not be successful in directly operating previously licensed businesses.
We have announced that we will allow certain of our licenses for our Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER brands to expire in order to increase our management and oversight of the licensed businesses. We may in the future acquire licensed businesses or allow other licensed rights to expire for the same or similar reasons. We have been directly operating a significant portion of the businesses for the Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER product categories previously licensed to G-III in the United States and Canada, and we intend to continue to directly operate a significant portion of these businesses as the license agreements expire, through 2026, with the remainder being re-licensed to other third parties.
The integration of previously licensed businesses may be complex, costly and time-consuming. We may have difficulty, or may not succeed, in growing or even maintaining the businesses compared to prior performance, integrating the businesses into our operations, hiring qualified employees needed to operate the businesses, or otherwise managing the
previously licensed businesses. Furthermore, we may incur higher than expected costs to bring previously licensed businesses in house and/or to operate these businesses. As such, operating previously licensed businesses may not achieve the intended benefits to our overall growth strategy, our brands and results of operations, and our overall profitability may decline to the extent we are unable to operate these businesses at the same level of earnings that we realized when they were licensed businesses.
A portion of our revenue is dependent on royalties and licensing.
The operating profit of our Licensing segment is significant because the operating expenses directly associated with administering and monitoring an individual licensing or similar agreement are minimal. Therefore, the loss of a significant licensee, whether due to the termination or expiration of the relationship, the cessation of the licensee’s operations or otherwise (including as a result of financial difficulties of the licensee), without an equivalent replacement, or a significant decline in our licensees’ sales could materially impact our profitability. Although the licensing model can be highly profitable, we are planning to, and in the future may pursue further opportunities to, increase direct management of our Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER brands through takebacks of licensed businesses. Please see the Risk Factor entitled “We may not be successful in directly operating previously licensed businesses.”
While we generally have significant approval rights over our licensees’ products and advertising, we rely on them for, among other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses. Our licensees’ failure to successfully market licensed products or our inability to find replacements for existing licensees once their respective licensing agreements end or are terminated could materially and adversely affect our revenue both directly from reduced licensing revenue received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products. Risks are also associated with our licensees’ ability to obtain capital, execute their business plans, timely deliver quality products, manage their labor relations, maintain relationships with their suppliers, manage their credit risk effectively and maintain relationships with their customers.
Our licensing business makes us susceptible to the actions of third parties over whom we have limited control.
We rely on our licensees to preserve the value of our brands. Although we attempt to protect our brands through, among other things, approval rights over design, production quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion of our products, we cannot assure you that we can control our licensees’ use of our brands. The misuse of our brands by a licensee could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face intense competition in the apparel industry.
Competition is intense in the apparel industry. We compete with numerous global, domestic and foreign designers, brand owners, manufacturers and retailers of apparel, accessories and footwear, some of which have greater resources than we do. We also face increased competition from digitally native brands; digital retailing is characterized by low barriers to entry. In addition, in certain instances, we compete directly with our wholesale customers, as they also sell their own private label products. We compete within the apparel industry primarily on the basis of:
•anticipating and responding to changing consumer tastes, demands and shopping preferences in a timely manner and developing distinctive, attractive, quality products;
•maintaining favorable brand recognition, reputation and relevance, including through digital brand engagement and online and social media presence;
•appropriately pricing products and creating an acceptable value proposition for customers, including increasing prices to mitigate inflationary pressures (as we did in certain regions and for certain product categories during 2022) while minimizing the risks of dampening consumer demand;
•providing strong and effective marketing support;
•successfully implementing digitally-led marketing strategies to foster deeper consumer engagement and increased demand;
•ensuring product availability and optimizing supply chain efficiencies with third party suppliers and retailers;
•obtaining sufficient retail floor space and effective presentation of our products at retail locations, on digital commerce sites operated by our department store customers and pure play digital commerce retailers, and on our digital commerce sites;
•establishing notable and effective relationships with actors, athletes, musicians, celebrities, social media influencers and others on a global, regional and local basis to promote our brands and products; and
•effectively utilizing data and technology, including the successful utilization of artificial intelligence, to achieve and exploit the foregoing.
The failure to compete effectively or to keep pace with rapidly changing consumer preferences and technology and product trends could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to manage our inventory effectively and accurately forecast demand for our products, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We have made and continue to make investments in our supply chain management systems and processes that enable us to respond more rapidly to changes in sales trends and consumer demands and enhance our ability to manage inventory. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to anticipate and respond successfully to changing consumer tastes and style trends or economic conditions and, as a result, we may not be able to manage inventory levels to meet future requirements. If we fail to accurately forecast demand, or our supply chain and logistics partners are unable to adjust to changes in demand, we may at times experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product. Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand have resulted in, and may in the future result in, inventory write-downs and the sale of excess inventory at heavily discounted prices, as well as impact our ability to implement and execute profitable, competitive and effective pricing and promotional strategies, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and the reputation of our brands. If we underestimate consumer demand, we may not have sufficient inventories of product, which could result in lost revenues, as well as damage to our reputation, the reputation of our brands, and our relationships with customers and consumers.
We previously had a material weakness in our internal controls and if we have additional material weaknesses in the future, there could be an adverse impact on our ability to accurately report our financial results, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, be subject to litigation and investigation, and lose investor confidence, resulting in an adverse impact to our stock price.
Effective internal controls are critical to maintaining the accuracy of our financial reporting and disclosures. We reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of February 2, 2025, a material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls in the area of user access management over our enterprise resource planning system and the related systems in our Europe, the Middle East and Africa region. While the material weakness has been remediated, there can be no assurances that other deficiencies will not come to management’s attention in the future that could lead to additional material weaknesses. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, it could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our financial results, resulting in material misstatements in our financial statements or causing us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could subject us to litigation or investigations requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and adversely impact our stock price.
The loss of members of our executive management and other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on the services and management experience of our executive officers and other key executives, who have substantial experience and capabilities in our industry and their areas of expertise. Competition for qualified personnel in the apparel industry and with certain skill sets is intense and competitors may use aggressive tactics to recruit these individuals. The loss of services of one or more of them or the inability to timely and effectively identify a suitable successor could have a material adverse effect on us.
Financial Risks
Our ability to obtain financing or refinance existing debt on terms that are acceptable to us could be adversely affected by general macroeconomic conditions or our financial performance and credit ratings.
Disruption or volatility in the financial and credit markets, including as a result of macroeconomic pressures or geopolitical events, could limit the availability of funds or the ability or willingness of financial institutions to extend capital to us in the future. In addition, our ability to access financial and credit markets in the future as a source of funding, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, is dependent upon our financial performance, outlook and credit rating.
An inability to obtain additional financing or refinance existing debt on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all, could impact our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases and general corporate requirements and/or significantly increase our cost of capital, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Furthermore, if our investment rating is downgraded in the future, in addition to it resulting in a higher cost of capital, it could also result in reduced access to the financial and credit markets and more restrictive covenants for future debt issuances.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and control regulations.
Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies impact our financial results in two ways: a translational impact and a transactional impact. Please see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 of this report for further discussion.
Our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. There also is a transactional impact of foreign exchange because we have foreign subsidiaries that purchase inventory in a currency other than their functional currency. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the cash flow or market risks associated with these inventory transactions, but we are unable to eliminate these risks entirely.
We conduct business in countries that have laws and regulations that restrict the ability of our foreign subsidiaries to pay dividends and remit cash to affiliated companies and, as a result, limit our ability to repatriate or use outside of the country the cash generated by the impacted subsidiaries, which may have an adverse impact on the funding of our business and operations.
Our level of debt could impair our financial condition and ability to operate.
We had outstanding as of February 1, 2026 an aggregate principal amount of $2.316 billion of indebtedness, of which senior unsecured term loans (€408 million outstanding as of the end of 2025) and senior unsecured notes (€600 million principal amount) are coming due in 2027. Our level of debt could have important consequences to investors, including:
•requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows be used for the payment of principal and interest, thereby reducing the funds available to us for our operations or other capital needs, including planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business;
•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions because, during periods in which we experience lower earnings and cash flows, we will be required to devote a greater proportion of our cash flow to paying principal and interest;
•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, contributions to our pension plans and general corporate requirements;
•placing us at a competitive disadvantage to other relatively less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow available to utilize in, or grow or expand, their business, fund operations or provide returns to stockholders; and
•leaving us vulnerable to increases in interest rates with respect to our adjustable rate borrowings, including under our senior unsecured credit facilities, and any refinancings of our fixed rate debt at higher interest rates than the current rates applicable to them.
Our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenant under our senior unsecured credit facilities may be adversely affected by future economic conditions.
We are required under our senior unsecured credit facilities to maintain a net leverage ratio below a maximum level. A prolonged disruption to our business may impact our ability to comply with this covenant. Non-compliance with this covenant would constitute an event of default under the terms of the facilities, which may result in an acceleration thereof, which in turn could trigger defaults under our other debt facilities.
Our inability to comply with the covenant may require us to seek relief in the form of a waiver. Waivers often require payment of a fee and may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants, the granting of security interests and other lender protections, any of which could be significant. Furthermore, our ability to provide additional protections under the senior unsecured credit facilities will be limited by the restrictions under our other debt facilities. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain waivers in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are not able to obtain a needed waiver, there can be no assurance that we would be able to raise sufficient capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facilities.
Adverse decisions of tax authorities or changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flow.
We have direct operations in many countries and the applicable tax rates vary by jurisdiction. The tax laws and regulations in the countries where we operate are subject to change. Moreover, there may be changes from time to time in interpretation and enforcement of existing tax law. As a result, we may pay additional taxes if rates increase or if laws, regulations or treaties in the jurisdictions where we operate are modified. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed updates to long-standing international tax principles, addressing issues such as profit shifting among affiliated entities in different tax jurisdictions and a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%, generally referred to as “Pillar Two.” In response, some member countries have already implemented or are planning to implement legislation to align their tax rules with the OECD’s recommendations in 2025 and beyond. The Pillar Two legislation did not have a material impact on our 2025 effective tax rate. However, the final outcome and application of these rules in the U.S. and other jurisdictions could potentially have a material adverse financial impact on us.
In addition, various national and local taxing authorities periodically audit our returns. The resolution of an audit may result in us paying more than the amount that we may have reserved for a particular tax matter, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition and results of operations for any affected reporting period.
We and our subsidiaries are engaged in various intercompany transactions. While we believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s length and are supported by the appropriate transfer pricing documentation, local tax authorities may scrutinize the transfer prices and conditions in place, which could potentially result in additional tax liabilities.
If we are unable to fully utilize our deferred tax assets, our profitability could be reduced.
Our deferred tax assets are valuable to us. These assets include tax loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. Realization of deferred tax assets is based on a number of factors, including whether there will be adequate levels of taxable income in future periods to offset the tax loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in jurisdictions where such assets have arisen. Valuation allowances are recorded in order to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in the future. In assessing the adequacy of our valuation allowances, we consider various factors including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, forecasted future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies. These factors could reduce the value of the deferred tax assets, which could have a material effect on our profitability.
Volatility in securities markets, interest rates and other economic factors could increase substantially our defined benefit pension costs and liabilities.
We have significant obligations under our defined benefit pension plans. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent on many factors, including returns on invested plan assets and the discount rate used to measure pension obligations. Unfavorable returns on plan assets, a lower discount rate or unfavorable changes in the applicable laws or regulations could materially change the timing and amount of pension funding requirements, which could reduce cash available for our business.
Our operating performance also may be significantly impacted by the amount of expense recorded for our pension plans. Pension expense recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in pension expense, generally in the fourth quarter of the year. These gains and losses can be significant and can create volatility in our operating results. As a result of the recent volatility in the financial markets, there continues to be significant uncertainty with respect to the actuarial gain or loss we may record on our retirement plans in 2026. We may incur a significant actuarial gain or loss in 2026 if there is a significant increase or decrease in discount rates, respectively, or if there is a difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets.
Our balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as long-lived assets in our retail stores. A decline in the estimated fair value of an intangible asset or of a reporting unit or in the current and projected cash flows in our retail stores could result in impairment charges recorded in our operating results, which could be material.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Long-lived assets, such as operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment in our retail stores and intangible assets with finite lives, are tested for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Please see the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 of this report for further discussion of our impairment testing. If any of our goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangible assets or long-lived assets were determined to be impaired, the asset would be written down and an impairment charge would be recognized as a noncash expense in our operating results.
Adverse changes in future market conditions, a shift in consumer buying trends or weaker operating results compared to our expectations may impact our projected cash flows and estimates of weighted average cost of capital, which could result in a material impairment charge if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in significant market volatility and a decrease in our stock price, which was determined to be a triggering event that required us to perform quantitative interim impairment tests for our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of these interim impairment tests, we recorded $480 million of noncash impairment charges. The impairments were non-operational and driven primarily by a significant increase in discount rates, as a result of then-current economic conditions. As of February 1, 2026, we had $2.022 billion of goodwill and $3.096 billion of other intangible assets on our balance sheet, which together represented 44% of our total assets.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
Our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights, as the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and the generally premium pricing of products under the brands creates incentive for counterfeiters and infringers. Imitation or counterfeiting of our products or infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands or otherwise adversely affect our revenue. We cannot assure you that the actions we take to establish and protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent imitation by others. We cannot assure you that other third parties will not seek to invalidate our trademarks or block sales of our products as a violation of their own trademarks and intellectual property rights. In addition, we cannot assure you
that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of ours or in marks that are similar to ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, there may be trademark owners who have prior rights to our marks because the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In other cases, there may be holders who have prior rights to similar trademarks. We have in the past been and currently are involved in proceedings relating to marks similar to some of ours or a company’s claim of prior rights to some of our trademarks.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws and Delaware General Corporation Law could make it more difficult to acquire us and may reduce the market price of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions requiring stockholders who seek to introduce proposals at a stockholders meeting or nominate a person to become a director to provide us with advance notice and certain information, as well as meet certain ownership criteria; permitting our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Board; and authorizing the Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without approval of our stockholders. These provisions could have the effect of deterring changes of control.
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors.
Information Technology and Data Privacy Risks
We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or the systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach.
Our ability to manage and operate our business effectively depends significantly on information technology systems, including systems operated by third parties and us, systems that communicate with third parties, and website and mobile applications through which we communicate with our consumers and our employees. We process, transmit, store and maintain information about consumers, associates and other individuals, as well as business partners, in the ordinary course of business. This includes personally identifiable information protected under applicable laws, the processing of customers’ credit and debit card numbers, and reliance on systems maintained by third parties with whom we contract to provide payment processing. The failure of any system, website or application to operate effectively or any significant disruption thereto that may occur, including as a result of malicious actors, catastrophic events, natural disasters, or otherwise, could require significant remediation costs and adversely impact our operations.
We recently announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate an enterprise ChatGPT platform throughout various aspects of our operations for which there can be no assurance that we will be fully successful in our utilization of artificial intelligence. The growing integration of artificial intelligence into business systems and processes both by us and our business partners poses data exposure, privacy, legal, operational and other risks that could adversely affect us and our business. Additionally, malicious actors are using artificial intelligence to carry out more sophisticated social engineering attacks, increasing the potential for harm.
We utilize a risk-based, multi-layered information security approach based on the “NIST” (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity Framework version 2.0 to identify and address cybersecurity risks. We take measures to protect data and ensure that those who use our systems are aware of the importance of protecting our systems and data. These steps include implementing security standards, endpoint and network system security tools, associate training programs and security response and recovery procedures. To measure the effectiveness of our cybersecurity controls, we frequently perform phishing exercises, tabletop exercises and penetration tests. We also provide training throughout each year to all associates with access to our systems through online courses, including 8 covering information security and data privacy and 12 phishing-related exercises/tests. We maintain an escalating discipline schedule for individual phishing test failures, including additional training. We also administer specific training courses to the members of the Board of Directors, one of which is typically mandatory annually. In addition, to measure and assess compliance, our information security approach is subject to an annual assessment of its maturity, within the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, by an independent third party consultant.
We require third party providers who have access to our systems or receive personally identifiable information or other confidential data to take effective measures to protect data, but have no control over their efforts and are limited in our ability to
assess their systems and processes. As a result, these third party providers also are a source of cybersecurity and other related risks for us. When third party service organizations process data that affects our financial statements, System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 reports are obtained and evaluated annually. While we invest, and believe our service providers invest, considerable resources in protecting systems and information, including through the training of the people who have access to our systems and information, we all are still subject to security events, including but not limited to cybercrimes and cybersecurity attacks, such as those perpetrated by sophisticated and well-resourced bad actors attempting to disrupt operations or access or steal data. Security events may not be detected for an extended period of time, which could compound the scope and extent of the damage and problems. These security events could disrupt our business, severely damage our reputation and our relationship with vendors, customers and consumers, and expose us to risks of regulatory enforcement activity, litigation and liability. While we maintain insurance coverage, including cybersecurity insurance, it may be unavailable or insufficient to cover all losses or claims, and it does not remedy the reputational and future business impacts. Although we require third party providers with access to our systems and confidential information to have insurance coverage for any losses we may experience due to their work, the amount we can recover may not fully compensate us for any loss we experience.
We regularly implement new systems and hardware and are currently undertaking a major multi-year SAP S/4 implementation to upgrade our platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation of new software and hardware involves risks and uncertainties that could cause disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design, implementation or application of these systems including:
•adversely impacting our operations;
•increased costs;
•disruptions in our ability to effectively source, sell or ship our products;
•delays in collecting payments from our customers; and
•adversely affecting our ability to timely report our financial results.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected as a result of these implementation initiatives. In addition, intended improvements may not be realized. Our business partners and service providers face the same risks, which could also adversely impact our business and operations.
We are subject to data privacy and security laws and regulations globally, the number and complexity of which are increasing. We may be the subject of enforcement or other legal actions despite our compliance efforts.
We collect, use, store, and otherwise process or rely upon access to data, including personally identifiable information, of consumers, employees, and other individuals in the daily conduct of our business. There have been significant enactments and developments in the area of data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act, Personal Information Protection Law in China, and Personal Information Protection Act in South Korea . These laws and regulations have caused and could continue to cause us to change the way we operate, including in a less efficient manner, in order to comply with these laws. We have a global data privacy program and, as discussed above, have guidelines and a training program to ensure our associates understand the laws and how to collect, use and protect our confidential data (including personally identifiable information). However, our compliance efforts are not an assurance that we will not be the subject of regulatory or other legal actions. We could expend significant management and associate time and incur significant cost investigating and defending ourselves against the claims in any such matter, which matters also could result in us being the subject of significant fines, judgments or settlements. In addition, any such claim could give rise to significant reputational damages, whether or not we ultimately are successful in defending ourselves.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
Cybersecurity is a critical priority within, and has been integrated into, our enterprise risk management framework. We have in place a risk-based, multi-dimensional global cybersecurity program, guided by the framework established by NIST. This program aims to assess, identify, and manage risks from potential threats to our data, systems and networks, as well as those of our primary third-party suppliers. We have deployed a suite of physical, administrative and technological safeguards to protect our information systems, encompassing personal data (associate, consumer, customer and other business partner), intellectual property and confidential business information. These protections are designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all information housed within our network infrastructure.
Our key cybersecurity processes within our program include the following:
Risk-based Controls for Information and Systems – We strive to secure our information technology infrastructure and data by implementing, maintaining and executing controls, and continuously improving our cybersecurity program’s maturity, risk management framework, policies, procedures and governance.
Incident Response Plan and Testing – We have a cybersecurity incident response plan and dedicated teams to respond to incidents. Cross-functional teams assess priority and severity, and external experts, including legal counsel, may be consulted. Our cybersecurity teams respond to incidents based on severity levels and improve our plan through regular table top breach exercises, penetration tests and simulations.
Education and Interactive Training – We maintain an annual mandatory training program for all associates, which includes an online cybersecurity training course designed to educate them on how to protect sensitive information and on best practices. We deliver monthly global phishing exercises and provide additional training to any associate who has demonstrated low levels of phishing awareness by failing testing. We also offer role-based training for regulatory compliance, and work with external partners to develop and deliver training to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks. We continually evaluate trends within the industry, apply necessary controls, and empower our leadership to make informed, risk-based decisions.
Third-Party Risk Management – We execute targeted cybersecurity assessments of suppliers, evaluating their risk profiles and using a rating mechanism to identify vulnerabilities. We also partner with primary suppliers to implement advanced security measures to safeguard their information technology systems and have data security provisions in our contracts with third parties that handle our data.
Threat and Vulnerability Management – We, along with our external partners, use resources, technology, and processes to identify, remediate, and report security threats in our systems. These controls are crucial to minimize our attack surface and prioritize possible threats.
Cybersecurity and Compliance Assessment Practices – We conduct regular cybersecurity assessments with independent firms and annual evaluations for compliance with Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and benchmark maturity assessments aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework version 2.0. Our Internal Audit department evaluates our information security program through annual information security and cybersecurity audits. We also perform internal controls testing as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates.
As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. For a discussion of related risks, please see our Information Technology risk factor “We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or the systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach” in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.
Governance
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors oversees the management of risks related to the operation of our business. As part of its oversight, the Board receives periodic reports (no less often than annually) from members of senior management on various aspects of risk, including, among other things, our enterprise risk management program, business continuity planning, and cybersecurity. The Audit & Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors has principal Board-level responsibility for reviewing and assessing our significant risks, including cybersecurity risks, and management’s program to assess, monitor, and manage such exposures, and can raise any significant issues pertaining to these items with the full Board of Directors at each Board meeting. As part of this role, the Committee receives updates from the Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) multiple times throughout the year on various cybersecurity matters, including material risks and threat trends, mitigation strategies, security incidents, the status of priorities and initiatives, and other related matters of importance, as well as an annual in-depth review of cybersecurity strategy and initiatives for the coming year. Additionally, quarterly advisory services and annual training are provided to the Committee from an independent firm, which gives the Committee an outside perspective on the Company’s cybersecurity program and keeps them abreast of cybersecurity trends affecting the industry. The Committee also reviews the results of the independent cybersecurity assessments and compliance evaluations discussed above. In addition to these regular updates, the Committee and the full Board of Directors would also be promptly informed by the Chief Executive Officer or Interim Chief Financial Officer of any potentially significant cybersecurity incident should one occur, as well as provided ongoing updates from lead members of the incident response teams, including the CISO, regarding any such incidents in accordance with our incident response plan.
Management
The CISO leads our Information Security Group, a global function that spans our organization and is responsible for executing against our global cybersecurity program. The CISO is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through our key cybersecurity processes, discussed above, and, together with other lead members of the incident response teams, is responsible for informing senior leadership across the organization about any cybersecurity incidents that may occur. Our CISO has over 25 years of experience managing and leading information technology and cybersecurity teams and participates in various industry and public sector cybersecurity groups. The CISO reports to the Chief Technology and Information Officer, who has over 20 years of experience leading technology teams for multi-brand consumer businesses and leads the Company’s information technology strategy and oversees the global cybersecurity function.
Our cybersecurity team members hold certifications from industry recognized organizations such as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2), and the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council). Cybersecurity team members also receive vendor-specific training and certifications, and attend and participate in technical and vendor conferences. As well, certain members of our global privacy team hold certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the UEL Provisions upon the suspicion that we (i) suspended normal transactions with Chinese entities or individuals, (ii) adopted discriminatory measures against products produced in or made from raw materials or component parts from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and (iii) violated normal market trading principles. In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, we submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February 2025, it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the UEL. We do not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures as a result of the listing or what they will be if any are imposed. According to the UEL Provisions, potential measures could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of our relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of our relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No measures have been imposed on us at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include our inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, our inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or our inability to make investments in China. Please see our risk factor “China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations” in Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
Other Matters
We are a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment based, in part, on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business — 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 and Van Heusen, which the Company owned through the second quarter of 2021. The Company currently licenses Van Heusen, along with Nike and other brands, from third parties for certain product categories. 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 certain territories. The Company completed the sale of its women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 (the “Heritage Brands intimates transaction”). Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” for further discussion. The Company refers to its currently or previously owned and licensed trademarks, other than TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, as its “heritage brands” and the businesses it currently operates or previously operated under the heritage brands as its “Heritage Brands business.”
Effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, the Company changed its reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in its business and organizational structure. These changes included the reorganization of the executive leadership structure directly reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s new reportable segments are: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) APAC, and (iv) Licensing. Please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of the change in reportable segments and segment definitions.
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and 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 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion.
Fiscal Year — The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to February 1. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise. Results for 2025, 2024 and 2023 represent the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2026, 52 weeks ended February 2, 2025 and 53 weeks ended February 4, 2024, respectively.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated 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 the estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including the impacts on the Company’s business resulting from the conflict in the Middle East and global trade policies (including tariffs) and their broader macroeconomic implications, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. In addition, there is significant uncertainty surrounding how the Company’s business may be impacted in the future as a result of China’s Ministry of Commerce’s (“MOFCOM”) decision to place the Company on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”). Please see Note 22, “Other Comments,” for further discussion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents also includes amounts due from third party credit card processors for the settlement of customer debit and credit card transactions that are collectible in one week or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at February 1, 2026 consisted principally of bank deposits and investments in money market funds.
Accounts Receivable — Trade receivables, as presented in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, are net of allowances. Costs associated with allowable customer markdowns and operational chargebacks, net of the expected recoveries, are part of the provision for allowances included in accounts receivable. These provisions result from seasonal negotiations, historical experience, and an evaluation of current market conditions.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its trade receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. An allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable
and assessments of collectibility based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $23.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill.
The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets. When performing the quantitative test for goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model, which includes assumptions such as the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate, gross margin, operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin. The impairment loss recognized is equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, but is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. When performing the quantitative test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined using the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the asset’s use and includes assumptions such as the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rate, gross margin, operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in significant market volatility and a decrease in the Company’s stock price. As a result, the Company determined there was a triggering event that required the Company to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of this interim impairment test, the Company recorded $426.0 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates, which incorporated elevated risk premiums, in particular for the Americas and APAC reporting units. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2024 or 2023. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
The Company also determined the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 and resulting impacts to the Company discussed above were also a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of its other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of this interim impairment testing, the Company recorded $53.5 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, to write down the reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia. The impairment was primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates. The Company did not record any intangible asset impairments in 2024 or 2023. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
Asset Impairments — The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. To test long-lived assets for impairment, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows and the related fair value of each asset. Undiscounted future cash flows are estimated using current sales trends and other factors and, in the case of operating lease right-of-use assets, using estimated sublease income or market rents. If the sum of such undiscounted future cash flows is less than the asset’s carrying amount, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. Please see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion.
Inventories — Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail inventories in Asia is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends and forecasts, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments that it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at either the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable.
Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. The range of useful lives is principally as follows: Buildings and building improvements – 15 to 40 years; machinery, software and equipment – two to 10 years; furniture and fixtures – two to 10 years; and fixtures located in shop-in-shop/concession locations and their related costs – three to four years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Major additions and improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $240.7 million, $243.9 million and $259.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cloud Computing Arrangements — The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by a third party vendor. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage of a project are capitalized and amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis. The Company capitalized $20.8 million and $14.6 million of costs incurred in 2025 and 2024, respectively, to implement cloud computing arrangements. The Company’s cloud computing arrangements primarily relate to digital and consumer data platforms, and platforms that support its corporate and global supply chain functions. Amortization expense relating to cloud computing arrangements totaled $18.9 million, $20.1 million and $16.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cloud computing costs of $42.2 million and $43.4 million were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively.
Leases — The Company leases approximately 1,350 Company-operated free-standing retail store locations across more than 35 countries, generally with initial lease terms of three to 10 years. The Company also leases warehouses, distribution centers, showrooms and office space, generally with initial lease terms of 10 to 20 years, as well as certain equipment and other assets, generally with initial lease terms of one to five years.
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease, and the effect of collateralization. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain until executed. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the initial expected lease term.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the operating lease right-of-use assets have been previously impaired. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases generally provide for payments of nonlease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. For lease agreements entered into or modified after February 3, 2019, the Company accounts for lease components and nonlease components together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of nonlease components in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s lease
agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. Please see Note 2, “Revenue,” for further discussion.
Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges, as well as the amounts recognized from foreign currency forward contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward contracts is sold. Generally, all other expenses, excluding non-service related pension and post retirement (income) costs, interest expense (income) and income taxes, are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including warehousing and distribution expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature, including rent, utilities, payroll and depreciation and amortization. Warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, totaled $358.1 million, $335.2 million and $357.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Fees — Shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are accounted for as fulfillment activities and are recorded in SG&A expenses.
Marketing — Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses. Marketing expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, totaled $495.6 million, $480.0 million and $533.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Costs associated with cooperative advertising programs, under which the Company shares the cost of a customer’s advertising expenditures, are treated as a reduction of revenue.
Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.
Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amount of deductible and taxable items, evaluating tax positions and determining the income tax provision. The Company recognizes income tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company measures the tax benefit at the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. When the outcome of these tax matters changes, the change in estimate impacts the provision for income taxes in the period that such a determination is made. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Company’s income tax provision.
The Company recognizes the tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a period expense in the year the tax is incurred.
Financial Instruments — The Company currently uses foreign currency forward contracts, non-derivative instruments (the par value of certain of its foreign-denominated debt) and derivative instruments (cross-currency swap contracts) to hedge against a portion of its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company records the foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as effective hedging instruments and changes in the carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). Cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its derivative and non-derivative instruments at inception and each quarter thereafter. The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” and Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in United States dollars. If the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is not the United States dollar, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at the closing exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated to United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within AOCL. Gains and losses on the revaluation of intercompany loans made between foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature are included in AOCL. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity are principally included in SG&A expenses and totaled a loss of $38.3 million, $13.8 million and $30.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Pension and Benefit Plans — Employee pension benefits earned during the year, as well as interest on the projected benefit obligations or accumulated benefit obligations, are accrued quarterly. The expected return on plan assets is recognized quarterly and determined at the beginning of the year by applying the expected long-term rate of return on assets to the actual fair value of plan assets adjusted for expected benefit payments, contributions and plan expenses. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s operating results in the year in which they occur. These gains and losses include the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return that was recognized quarterly, as well as the change in the projected benefit obligation caused by actual experience and updated actuarial assumptions differing from those assumptions used to record service and interest cost throughout the year. Actuarial gains and losses are measured at least annually at the end of the Company’s fiscal year and, as such, are generally recorded during the fourth quarter of each year. The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in SG&A expenses and the other components of net benefit cost, which typically include interest cost, actuarial (gain) loss and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” for further discussion of the Company’s pension and benefit plans.
Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors, net of actual forfeitures, as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Please see Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further discussion.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance — The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in December 2023 ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis beginning with its 2025 annual consolidated financial statements. Other than the incremental disclosures, the adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Please see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” for the Company’s disclosures pertaining to this update.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of February 1, 2026 — The FASB issued in November 2024 ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, about the types of costs and expenses included in certain income statement expense captions. Entities are required to apply the guidance on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its 2027 annual consolidated financial statements and interim statements thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Since the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will only affect disclosures, it will not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The FASB issued in July 2025 ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance provides a practical expedient that can be elected to be applied to accounts receivable and contract assets, which allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets when estimating expected credit losses for such assets. The Company will adopt the guidance prospectively beginning with its first quarter 2026 consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued in September 2025 ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance removes references to prescriptive and sequential development stages, requiring companies to capitalize internal-use software costs when management commits to funding the software project and it is probable the project will be completed. Entities may apply the guidance using
a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its first quarter 2028 consolidated financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued in December 2025 ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The update established guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of a government grant received by a business entity. Entities may apply this guidance using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective approach. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its first quarter 2029 consolidated financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. REVENUE
The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of finished products under its owned trademarks through its wholesale and retail operations and from licensing rights to its trademarks to third parties. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.
Product Sales
The Company generates revenue from the wholesale distribution of its products to traditional retailers (including for sale through their digital commerce operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon receipt of goods by the customer. Payment typically is due within 30 to 90 days. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, sales allowances and other discounts that the Company offers to its wholesale customers. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience and individual customer arrangements and estimates sales allowances and other discounts based on seasonal negotiations, historical experience and an evaluation of current sales trends and market conditions.
The Company also generates revenue from the retail distribution of its products through its freestanding stores, shop-in-shop/concession locations and digital commerce sites. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale in the stores and shop-in-shop/concession locations and upon estimated time of delivery for sales through the Company’s digital commerce sites, at which point control of the products passes to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption.
The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities related to sales of the Company’s products. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to customers are included in net sales.
Customer Loyalty Programs
The Company uses loyalty programs that offer customers of its retail businesses specified amounts off of future purchases for a specified period of time after certain levels of spending are achieved. Customers that are enrolled in the programs earn loyalty points for each purchase made.
Loyalty points earned under the customer loyalty programs provide the customer a material right to acquire additional products and give rise to the Company having a separate performance obligation. For each transaction where a customer earns loyalty points, the Company allocates revenue between the products purchased and the loyalty points earned based on the relative standalone selling prices. Revenue allocated to loyalty points is recorded as deferred revenue until the loyalty points are redeemed or expire.
Gift Cards
The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores and on certain of its digital commerce sites. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards nor do they expire. Gift card purchases by a customer are prepayments for products to be provided by the Company in the future and are therefore considered to be performance obligations of the Company. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, the Company records deferred revenue for the cash value of the gift
card. Deferred revenue is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer. The portion of gift cards that the Company does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as “breakage”) is recognized proportionately over the estimated customer redemption period, subject to the constraint that it must be probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur, if the Company determines that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction.
License Agreements
The Company generates revenue from licensing the rights to access its trademarks to third parties, including the Company’s joint ventures. The license agreements generally are exclusive to a territory or product category, have terms in excess of one year and, in most cases, include renewal options. In exchange for providing these rights, the license agreements require the licensees to pay the Company a royalty and, in certain agreements, an advertising fee. In both cases, the Company generally receives the greater of (i) a sales-based percentage fee and (ii) a contractual minimum fee for each annual performance period under the license agreement.
In addition to the rights to access its trademarks, the Company provides ongoing support to its licensees over the term of the agreements. As such, the Company’s license agreements are licenses of symbolic intellectual property and, therefore, revenue is recognized over time. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee exceeds the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes revenues as the licensed products are sold as reported to the Company by its licensees. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee does not exceed the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes the contractual minimum fee as revenue ratably over the contractual period.
Under the terms of the license agreements, payments generally are due quarterly from the licensees. The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are received or receivable from the licensee in advance of the recognition of revenue.
As of February 1, 2026, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $1.1 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize $254.4 million as revenue in 2026, $211.2 million in 2027 and $637.4 million thereafter. The Company elected not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for license agreements that have an original expected term of one year or less and expected sales-based percentage fees for the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied.
Deferred Revenue
Changes in deferred revenue, which primarily relate to customer loyalty programs, gift cards and license agreements for the years ended February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | |
| Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period | $ | 55.3 | | | $ | 55.5 | | |
| | | | |
| Net additions to deferred revenue during the period | 45.1 | | | 51.3 | | |
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period (1) | (51.4) | | | (51.5) | | |
| | | | |
| Deferred revenue balance at end of period | $ | 49.0 | | | $ | 55.3 | | |
(1) Represents the amount of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period and does not contemplate revenue recognized from amounts deferred during the period.
The Company also had long-term deferred revenue liabilities included in other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets of $4.7 million and $6.8 million as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively.
Please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” for information on the disaggregation of revenue by segment, distribution channel and brand.
3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In line with the fifth growth driver of the PVH+ Plan, the Company’s multiyear strategic plan, the Company has committed to a plan to sell its owned warehouse and distribution center located in Jonesville, NC. The Company concluded the criteria had been met to classify the building and related assets as held for sale during the first quarter of 2025 and ceased recording depreciation at that time. The carrying value of $16.7 million, which was determined to be lower than its fair value, less costs to sell, was reclassified from property, plant and equipment, net to assets held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet during the first quarter of 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made the determination to redeploy certain equipment from the Jonesville warehouse and distribution center that was originally classified as held for sale for use in other Company warehouses and distribution centers.
The building and remaining related assets classified as held for sale had a carrying value of $12.3 million as of February 1, 2026. The Company intends to sell the building and related assets within the next 12 months.
4. DIVESTITURES
Sale of Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. Women’s Intimates Businesses
The Company completed the Heritage Brands intimates transaction on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $155.6 million, after transaction costs. The final carrying value of the net assets sold on the closing date was $140.3 million, which consisted of $44.5 million of inventory and $95.8 million of tradenames.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the carrying value of the net assets, less costs to sell. An incremental gain of $10.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources, which was paid in equal quarterly installments to the Company through the first quarter of 2025. These gains were recorded in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the respective periods and are included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes.

Land and buildings and building improvements, net of accumulated depreciation were reclassified to assets held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet during 2025 in connection with a plan to sell the Company’s owned warehouse and distribution center located in Jonesville, NC. Please see Note 3, “Assets Held For Sale,” for further discussion. Construction in progress at February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025 represents costs incurred for machinery, software and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements not yet placed in use. Construction in progress at February 1, 2026 principally related to (i) investments in new stores and store renovations and (ii) investments, upgrades and enhancements in the Company’s information technology platforms, systems and infrastructure worldwide. Construction in progress at February 2, 2025 principally related to (i) enhancements to the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in Europe and (ii) investments in (a) upgrades and enhancements to platforms and systems worldwide and (b) new stores and store renovations.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As described in Note 20, “Segment Data,” effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, the Company changed its reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in its business and organizational structure. The Company did not recast goodwill by segment for earlier historical periods as it was impracticable to do so.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, prior to the change in reportable segments, were as follows:

Goodwill Impairment Testing
2025 Interim Impairment Test
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in significant market volatility and a decrease in the Company’s stock price. As a result, the Company determined there was a triggering event that required the Company to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025.
As a result of this interim impairment test, the Company recorded $426.0 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s
Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes. The impairments were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates, which incorporated elevated risk premiums, in particular for the Americas and APAC reporting units. Impairment charges of $7.6 million and $418.4 million fully impaired the goodwill balances in the Americas and APAC segments, respectively.
The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration, inclusive of a risk premium for each reporting unit to account for the additional risk and uncertainty perceived by market participants related to each reporting unit’s cash flows due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
2025 Annual Impairment Test
The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. For the 2025 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company elected to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount.
The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and reporting unit-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its quantitative interim goodwill impairment test performed in the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of changes in the weighted average cost of capital and updated financial forecasts since the date of the interim impairment test.
After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required. No impairment of goodwill resulted from the Company’s annual impairment test.
2024 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2024 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2024, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test using a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its reporting units.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for 2024 yielded estimated fair values in excess of the carrying amounts for all of its reporting units with assigned goodwill and therefore no impairment of goodwill was identified.
2023 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2023 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2023, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment first to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount.
The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and reporting unit-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its quantitative goodwill impairment test performed in 2022, and the impact at that time of (i) the improvement in certain macroeconomic conditions contributing to a favorable change in the Company’s market capitalization since the time of the 2022 test, which would imply a reduction to the risk premium included in the discount rate used in the 2022 test and, therefore, improvement in the fair values of the Company’s reporting units, and (ii) the Company’s then-current financial performance and updated financial forecasts, which were generally consistent with or exceeded the projections used in the 2022 test.
After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required. No impairment of goodwill resulted from the Company’s annual impairment test in 2023.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
2025 Interim Impairment Test
The Company also determined the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 and resulting impacts to the Company discussed above were also a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of its other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. For the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of the Company’s annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2024 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 93% as of the date of the Company’s 2024 annual test. Considering this and other factors, the Company determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required.
For the reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, the Company recorded $53.5 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025 to write down the license rights, which had a carrying amount of $190.8 million, to a fair value of $137.3 million. The $53.5 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes. The impairment was primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Australia business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the license rights of approximately $22.0 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the license rights of approximately $25.0 million.
The fair value of the Company’s reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows were discounted to present value using a discount rate of approximately 17% that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset.
2025 Annual Impairment Test
The Company performed its annual impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. For the 2025 annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test, the Company elected to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount.
The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and asset-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its interim impairment testing performed in the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of changes in the weighted average cost of capital and updated financial forecasts since the date of the interim impairment test. After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from the Company’s annual impairment test. Except for the reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia, for which the most recent quantitative impairment test was performed in the first quarter of 2025, the results of which are described above, all indefinite-lived intangibles had significant excess fair value in the most recent quantitative impairment test performed in 2024.
2024 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2024 annual impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2024 for all other indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test, using a discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. The fair values for all indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts and, therefore, the assets were not impaired. The indefinite-lived intangible asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by 19%.
2023 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2023 annual other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2023, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount.
The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and asset-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its annual impairment testing performed in 2022, and the impact at that time of (i) the improvement in certain macroeconomic conditions contributing to a favorable change in the Company’s market capitalization since the time of 2022 test, which would imply a reduction to the risk premium included in the discount rate used in the 2022 test, and therefore, improvement in the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets and (ii) the Company’s then-current financial performance and updated financial forecasts.
After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets was less than its carrying amount and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from the Company’s annual impairment test in 2023.
Considerations Since the 2025 Annual Impairment Tests
There have been no significant events or change in circumstances since the date of the 2025 annual impairment tests that would indicate the remaining carrying amounts of the Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of February 1, 2026. If different assumptions for the Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests had been applied, significantly different outcomes could have resulted. There continues to be significant uncertainty with respect to the conflict in the Middle East and global trade policies (including tariffs) and their broader macroeconomic implications, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. If economic conditions or market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate or otherwise vary from current assumptions (including those resulting in changes in the weighted average cost of capital), industry conditions deteriorate, or business conditions or strategies for a specific reporting unit change from current assumptions, the Company’s businesses do not perform as projected, or there is an extended period of a significant decline in its stock price, the Company could incur additional goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges in the future.

(1) The carrying amount of the euro-denominated Term Loan A facility and the senior unsecured euro notes includes the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.
Please see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025.
The Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the next five years were as follows as of February 1, 2026:
| | | | | |
| (In millions) | |
| Fiscal Year | Amount (1) |
| 2026 | $ | 13.1 | |

(1) A portion of the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments is denominated in euros and subject to changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.
Total debt repayments for the next five years exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s debt as of February 1, 2026 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.
As of February 1, 2026, approximately 80% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.
2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
On December 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2022 facilities”). The 2022 facilities consist of (a) a €440.6 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility”), (b) a $1,150.0 million United States dollar-denominated multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “multicurrency revolving credit facility”), which is available in (i) United States dollars, (ii) Australian dollars (limited to A$50.0 million), (iii) Canadian dollars (limited to C$70.0 million), or (iv) euros, yen, pounds sterling, Swiss francs or other agreed foreign currencies (limited to €250.0 million), and (c) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars (together with the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the “revolving credit facilities”). The 2022 facilities are due on December 9, 2027.
The multicurrency revolving credit facility also includes amounts available for letters of credit and has a portion available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the multicurrency revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500.0 million. The lenders under the 2022 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.
The terms of the Euro TLA facility require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding, which commenced with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2023. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date, paid in equal installments and subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the Euro TLA facility. The outstanding borrowings under the 2022 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments made by the Company would reduce the future required repayment amounts. The outstanding principal balance for the Euro TLA facility was €407.6 million as of February 1, 2026.
The Company made payments totaling $12.7 million, $11.8 million and $11.9 million on its term loan under the 2022 facilities during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The euro-denominated borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and multicurrency revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) and the euro-denominated swing line borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted daily simple euro short term rate (“ESTR”), calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus in each case an applicable margin.
The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate or an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.
The borrowings denominated in other foreign currencies under the 2022 facilities bear interest at various indexed rates specified in the 2022 facilities and are calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.
The applicable margin with respect to the Euro TLA facility as of February 1, 2026 was 1.250%. The applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facilities as of February 1, 2026 was 0.125% for loans bearing interest at the base rate, Canadian prime rate or daily simple ESTR and 1.125% for loans bearing interest at the EURIBOR or any other rate specified in the 2022 facilities. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and each revolving credit facility is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.
The 2022 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; and a change in control (as defined in the 2022 facilities).
The 2022 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum net leverage ratio, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2022 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is
continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt.
7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

The Company’s tax rate is influenced by several factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, specific discrete transactions and events, new regulations, audits by tax authorities, and new information received. These elements may lead to adjustments in both the Company’s estimates for uncertain tax positions and the overall effective tax rate.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of tax reform provisions. The enacted changes did not have a material impact on the 2025 effective tax rate.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released the Pillar Two framework which includes transition and safe harbor guidelines around the implementation of a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. Pillar Two legislation was enacted in certain jurisdictions where the Company operates and was effective in 2024. The global minimum effective tax rate did not have a material impact on the 2025 and 2024 effective tax rates.
Deferred Income Taxes
The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | |

At the end of 2025, the Company had approximately $190.1 million of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards on a tax-effected basis available to offset future taxable income in various jurisdictions. The carryforwards expire principally between 2026 and 2045.
The Company’s intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of its historical earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States in jurisdictions which it would expect to incur material tax costs upon the distribution of such amounts. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.
Income Taxes Paid
Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, in 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received were $165.6 million and $209.8 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The summary of the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for each of the last three years was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Balance at beginning of year | $ | 59.4 | | | $ | 99.6 | | | $ | 114.7 | |
| | | | | |
| Increases related to prior year tax positions | 0.7 | | | 3.2 | | | 0.6 | |
| Decreases related to prior year tax positions | (11.6) | | | (35.4) | | | (11.0) | |
| Increases related to current year tax positions | 5.2 | | | 5.0 | | | 2.9 | |

| Balance at end of year | $ | 47.2 | | | $ | 59.4 | | | $ | 99.6 | |
The entire amount of uncertain tax positions as of February 1, 2026, if recognized, would reduce the future effective tax rate under current accounting guidance.
Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s income tax provision. Interest and penalties recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled a benefit of $0.8 million, a benefit of $9.2 million and an expense of $1.3 million, respectively. Interest and penalties accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025 totaled $11.4 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The Company recorded its liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally in accrued expenses and other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States, various state and local jurisdictions and in over 40 international jurisdictions each year. Most tax audit examinations by taxing authorities have been completed, or the statute of limitations has expired, for the Company’s United States federal, foreign, state and local income tax returns filed through 2015.
10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows associated with inventory purchases made by its foreign subsidiaries in a currency other than their functional currency. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure.
The Company records the foreign currency forward contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The foreign currency forward contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases are designated as effective hedging instruments (“cash flow hedges”). As such, the changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of its investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, the Company uses both non-derivative instruments (the par value of certain of its foreign-denominated debt) and derivative instruments (cross-currency swap contracts), which it designates as net investment hedges.
The Company designated (i) the par value of its €600.0 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027, (ii) until their redemption on April 25, 2024, the par value of its €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024, and (iii) as of April 25, 2024, the par value of its €525.0 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due 2029 (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), all of which were issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” for further discussion of the Company’s foreign currency borrowings.
The Company records the foreign currency borrowings at carrying value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings is remeasured at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the foreign currency exchange spot rate. During the period in which the foreign currency borrowings are designated as net investment hedges, such remeasurement is recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The fair value and the carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings designated as net investment hedges were $1,357.8 million and $1,327.3 million, respectively, as of February 1, 2026 and $1,181.0 million and $1,158.6 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2025. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its non-derivative instrument net investment hedges at inception and each quarter thereafter. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.
In 2023, the Company entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts, which, in aggregate, economically converted the Company’s $500.0 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 2025 from a United States dollar-denominated obligation to a euro-denominated obligation of €457.2 million. As part of these swap contracts, the Company received fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest at contracted rates and paid fixed-rate euro-denominated interest at a rate of 0%.
In July 2025, the Company completed a transaction to effectively blend and extend the cross-currency swaps maturing in July 2025 with new fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts maturing in July 2027 and July 2028 with notional amounts of $300.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively. As part of these swap contracts, the Company will receive fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest at contracted rates and will pay fixed-rate euro-denominated interest at a rate of 0%.
The Company designates its cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. The Company records the cross-currency swap contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts are recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its derivative instrument net investment hedges at inception and each quarter thereafter. The interest components of the cross-currency swaps are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are initially recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. Such amounts are recognized ratably over the term of the cross-currency swap contracts as a credit to interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Undesignated Contracts
The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), which primarily include foreign currency forward contracts related to third party and intercompany transactions, and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying balances.
The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged.
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company may be exposed to the risk that counterparties to such contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based upon an evaluation of their credit ratings and certain other financial factors.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward contracts was $1,373.4 million at February 1, 2026. Such contracts expire principally between February 2026 and April 2027.
The following tables summarize the effect of the Company’s hedges designated as cash flow and net investment hedging instruments:

A net loss in AOCL on foreign currency forward contracts at February 1, 2026 of $31.4 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations to cost of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward contracts is sold. Amounts recognized in AOCL for foreign currency borrowings and the effective portion of the Company’s net investment hedges would be recognized in earnings only upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged net investment.

The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk-related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of February 1, 2026.
11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 |

| Total Liabilities | N/A | | $ | 75.7 | | | N/A | | $ | 75.7 | | | N/A | | $ | 1.5 | | | N/A | | $ | 1.5 | |
The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the foreign currency forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts is measured using the discounted cash flows of the contracts, which are determined based on observable inputs, including the foreign currency forward rates and discount rates, as of the period end. The fair value of the rabbi trust assets, which consist of investments in mutual funds, is valued at the net asset value of the funds, as determined by the closing price in the active market in which the individual fund is traded.
The Company established a rabbi trust that holds investments related to the Company’s supplemental savings plan. The rabbi trust is considered a variable interest entity and it is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements because the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust assets generally mirror the investment elections made by eligible plan participants and are included as follows in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
| (In millions) | Other Current Assets | | Other Assets | | Other Current Assets | | Other Assets |
| Rabbi trust assets | $ | 2.3 | | | $ | 19.3 | | | $ | 1.0 | | | $ | 13.3 | |
The corresponding deferred compensation liability is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains recognized on the rabbi trust investments during 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $2.5 million, $1.4 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.
There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. The Company determines the fair values of these assets based on Level 3 measurements. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value.
The following tables show the fair values of the Company’s non-financial assets that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2025, 2024 and 2023, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Other intangible assets with a carrying amount of $190.8 million were written down to a fair value of $137.3 million during 2025. In addition, the Company recorded $426.0 million of goodwill impairment charges during 2025. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.
Operating lease right-of-use assets with a carrying amount of $18.1 million and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $12.2 million were written down to their fair values of $16.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during 2025, primarily in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets was determined based on the discounted cash flows of the estimated market rents. Fair value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions. The $13.8 million of impairment charges during 2025 were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, for segment data reporting purposes, the charges were recorded as follows: $7.6 million in the EMEA segment, $1.9 million in the Americas segment, $2.2 million in the APAC segment and $2.1 million was included in restructuring and other items.
Operating lease right-of-use assets with a carrying amount of $5.0 million and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $9.1 million were written down to their fair values of $3.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during 2024, primarily in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets was determined based on the discounted cash flows of the estimated market rents. Fair value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions. The $10.2 million of impairment charges during 2024 were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, for segment data reporting purposes, the charges were recorded as follows: $6.6 million in the EMEA segment, $1.1 million in the Americas segment and $2.5 million in the APAC segment.
Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $6.2 million was written down to a fair value of $0.5 million during 2023 primarily in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions. The $5.7 million of impairment charges during 2023 were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, for segment data reporting purposes, the charges were recorded as follows: $3.0 million in the EMEA segment, $1.4 million in the Americas segment and $1.3 million in the APAC segment.
The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
| (In millions) | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value | | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 701.5 | | | $ | 701.5 | | | $ | 748.0 | | | $ | 748.0 | |
| Short-term borrowings | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
| Long-term debt (including portion classified as current) | 2,304.5 | | | 2,349.5 | | | 2,090.7 | | | 2,113.8 | |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable year. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts of long-term debt reflect the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.
12. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company, as of February 1, 2026, has two noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements. The plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation, subject to the plan freeze as discussed below, and years of credited service. The plans also provide participants with the option to receive their benefits in the form of lump sum payments. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Pension Plans.”
The Company also has three noncontributory unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans, one of which is a supplemental pension plan for certain employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements that provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon or after employment termination or retirement, according to their distribution election, and two other plans for select former senior management. The Company refers to these three plans as its “SERP Plans.”
The Company also provides certain other postretirement benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States under two plans. Retirees contribute to the cost of the applicable plan, which are unfunded and frozen. The Company refers to these plans as its “Postretirement Plans.”
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved changes to its Pension Plans and its supplemental pension plan to freeze the pensionable compensation and credited service amounts used to calculate participants’ benefits which became effective June 30, 2024, except for employees near retirement age that meet a specified service requirement, who will continue to accrue benefits under the Pension Plans and supplemental pension plan, as applicable, through June 30, 2026 (two years after the effective date of the freeze). In connection with the freeze, the Company recognized a reduction in the projected benefit obligation and a pre-tax curtailment gain of $17.2 million for the Pension Plans and $2.6 million for the supplemental pension plan in 2023.
Reconciliations of the changes in the projected benefit obligation (Pension Plans and SERP Plans) and the accumulated benefit obligation (Postretirement Plans) were as follows:

Service cost for both the Pension Plans and SERP Plans decreased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to the plan freeze.
In 2024, vested participants whose employment had been terminated were offered an opportunity to elect a lump sum payment of their accrued pension benefit from the Pension Plans. Payments of $41.5 million were made in the fourth quarter of 2024 to participants that made this election. These payments, together with $17.6 million of lump sum payments made in the normal course of business throughout the year, are included as benefit payments from the Pension Plans and constitute settlements that satisfied the Company’s remaining benefit obligations to the participants using assets from the Pension Plans.
Reconciliations of the fair value of the assets held by the Pension Plans and the funded status were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year | $ | 477.7 | | | $ | 554.4 | |

The components of net benefit cost recognized were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The net actuarial (gain) loss in net benefit cost in 2025 and 2024 was due principally to the difference between the actual and expected returns on plan assets for the Pension Plans. The net actuarial gain in net benefit cost in 2023 was due principally to an increase in the discount rate.
The components of net benefit cost are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: (i) the service cost component is recorded in SG&A expenses and (ii) the other components are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost).
The accumulated benefit obligations (Pension Plans and SERP Plans) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Pension Plans | | SERP Plans |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Accumulated benefit obligation | $ | 462.7 | | | $ | 488.4 | | | $ | 37.5 | | | $ | 42.1 | |
As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, both of the Company’s Pension Plans had projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. The balances were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions, except plan count) | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Number of plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets | 2 | | | 2 | |
| Aggregate projected benefit obligation | $ | 463.1 | | | $ | 490.6 | |
| Aggregate fair value of related plan assets | $ | 456.8 | | | $ | 477.7 | |
| | | |
| Number of plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets | 2 | | | 2 | |
| Aggregate accumulated benefit obligation | $ | 462.7 | | | $ | 488.4 | |
| Aggregate fair value of related plan assets | $ | 456.8 | | | $ | 477.7 | |
As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, all of the Company’s SERP Plans had projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as the plans are unfunded.
Significant weighted average rate assumptions used in determining the projected and accumulated benefit obligations at the end of each year and benefit cost in the following year were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Discount rate (applies to Pension Plans and SERP Plans) | 5.50 | % | | 5.72 | % | | 5.63 | % |
Discount rate (applies to Postretirement Plans)
| 5.11 | % | | 5.53 | % | | 5.36 | % |
| Rate of increase in compensation levels (applies to Pension Plans) | 4.00 | % | | 4.00 | % | | 4.00 | % |
| Expected long-term rate of return on assets (applies to Pension Plans) | 6.25 | % | | 6.25 | % | | 6.25 | % |
To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical level of the risk premium associated with the asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation.
The assets of the Pension Plans are invested with the objectives of earning a reasonable rate of return while minimizing the risk of large losses and generating a total investment return to pay present and future plan benefits. Assets are diversified by asset class in order to reduce volatility of overall results from year to year and to take advantage of various investment opportunities. The strategic target allocation for the Pension Plans as of February 2, 2025 was approximately 20% United States equities, 10% international equities and 70% fixed income investments and cash. Equity securities primarily included investments in large-, mid- and small-cap companies located in the United States and abroad. Fixed income securities included corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, municipal bonds and United States Treasury securities. The target allocation was amended in January 2026 to 10% global equity, 10% liquid debt or equity investments including real estate and infrastructure, and 80% liability-hedging assets, which include investments in cash, fixed income securities or derivatives thereof that are intended to mitigate interest rate risk or reduce the duration mismatch between the assets and liabilities of the plan trust. Plan assets as of February 1, 2026 are collective funds whose objectives are diversified equity, infrastructure, real estate and fixed income. Actual investment allocations may vary from the Company’s target investment allocations due to prevailing market conditions.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described in Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” the following tables show the fair value of the total assets of the Pension Plans for each major category as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025:

(1)The Company uses third party pricing services to determine the fair values of the financial instruments held by the pension plans. The Company obtains an understanding of the pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and validates a sample of prices provided by the pricing services by reviewing prices from other pricing sources. The Company has not adjusted any prices received from the third party pricing services.
(2)Valued at the net asset value of the fund as determined by the fund administrator. The Company has the ability to redeem this investment at net asset value within the near term and therefore classifies this investment within Level 2.
(3)Valued at the closing price or unadjusted quoted price in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.
(4)Valued at the net asset value of the fund, either as determined by the closing price in the active market in which the individual fund is traded and classified within Level 1, or as determined by a pricing vendor or the fund administrator and classified within Level 2.
(5)Valued with bid evaluation pricing where the inputs are based on actual trades in active markets, when available, as well as observable market inputs that include actual and comparable trade data, market benchmarks, broker quotes, trading spreads and/or other applicable data.
(6)This category includes pending purchases of $137.5 million and $1.7 million and pending sales of $133.8 million and $1.1 million as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively. This category also includes accrued income of $1.2 million as February 2, 2025 (accrued income was immaterial as of February 1, 2026).
The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of risk within the plan assets as of February 1, 2026.
Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2026. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other laws, as well as significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. The expected benefit payments associated with the Pension Plans and SERP Plans, and expected benefit payments, net of retiree contributions, associated with the Postretirement Plans are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | | | | | | |
| Fiscal Year | | Pension Plans | | SERP Plans | | Postretirement Plans |
| 2026 | | $ | 43.0 | | | $ | 4.8 | | | $ | 0.4 | |
| 2027 | | 44.1 | | | 4.7 | | | 0.3 | |
| 2028 | | 42.7 | | | 4.2 | | | 0.3 | |

| 2031-2035 | | 175.8 | | | 13.3 | | | 0.9 | |
The Company has savings and retirement plans and a supplemental savings plan for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions to the plans. The Company began making on January 1, 2022 an additional contribution to these plans for employees in the United States hired on or after that date in lieu of their participation in the Pension Plan. In addition, subsequent to the June 30, 2024 freeze of the Pension Plans and supplemental pension plan, the Company began making an additional contribution to these plans for employees in the United States that were hired prior to January 1, 2022. The Company also has defined contribution plans for certain employees in certain international locations, whereby the Company pays a percentage of the contribution for the employee. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $59.7 million, $47.1 million and $41.7 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s supplemental savings plan allows participants to choose from a broad variety of investment options. The Company established a rabbi trust whereby the trust holds investments that generally mirror the participants’ investment elections in the supplemental savings plan. See Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion.
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants stock-based awards under its Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Awards that may be granted under the Plan include, but are not limited to (i) service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (ii) contingently issuable performance share units (“PSUs”); and (iii) service-based non-qualified stock options (“stock options”). Each award granted under the Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, performance periods and performance measures, and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. When estimating the grant date fair value of stock-based awards, the Company considers whether an adjustment is required to the closing price or the expected volatility of its common stock on the date of grant when the Company is in possession of material nonpublic information. No such adjustments were made to the grant date fair value of awards granted in any period presented. Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.
According to the terms of the Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying an RSU or PSU award reduces the number available by two shares for awards made before June 22, 2023 and by 1.6 shares for awards made on or after June 22, 2023. Total shares available for grant at February 1, 2026 amounted to 3.2 million shares.
Net income for 2025, 2024 and 2023 included $44.1 million, $54.0 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $6.1 million, $6.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $4.5 million, $7.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax (deficiencies) benefits of $(1.4) million, $1.2 million and $(1.0) million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
RSUs
RSUs granted to employees generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant, although the Company does make from time to time, and currently has outstanding, RSUs with different vesting schedules. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full the earlier of one year after the date of grant or the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the year of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements for employees generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the Plan). The fair value of RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed over the RSUs’ requisite service periods.
RSU activity for the year was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In thousands, except per RSU data) | RSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU |
| Non-vested at February 2, 2025 | 1,069 | | | $ | 93.45 | |
| Granted | 876 | | | 69.30 | |
| Vested | 425 | | | 90.98 | |
| Forfeited | 244 | | | 83.89 | |
| Non-vested at February 1, 2026 | 1,276 | | | $ | 79.52 | |
The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs granted during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $60.7 million, $56.8 million and $54.9 million, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $38.7 million, $35.4 million and $43.4 million, respectively.
At February 1, 2026, there was $68.0 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
PSUs
PSU awards granted to employees have a three-year service period. Each award is subject to various performance and/or market conditions. The final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period.
For awards granted in 2022, 50% of the award was based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date, for which the Company achieved performance between the target and maximum levels. The other 50% of the award was based on the Company’s cumulative earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) during the fiscal three-year performance period, for which the performance condition was not achieved. The holders of the awards earned an aggregate of 42,000 shares upon vesting of the award during the first quarter of 2025.
For awards granted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, 50% of the award is based on the Company’s TSR relative to a pre-established group of industry peers during a three-year period from the grant date and 50% is based on the Company’s average return on invested capital (“ROIC”) during a fiscal three-year performance period.
The Company records expense ratably over the three-year service period, with expense determined as follows: (i) TSR-based portion of the awards is based on the grant date fair value regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied because the awards are subject to market conditions and (ii) EBIT- and ROIC-based portion of the awards are based on the grant date fair value per share and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued.
The grant date fair value of the awards is established as follows: (i) TSR-based portion of the awards uses a Monte Carlo simulation model and (ii) EBIT- and ROIC-based portion of the awards are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on such common stock during the three-year service period, as these contingently issuable PSUs do not accrue dividends.
The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs subject to market conditions that were granted during 2025, 2024 and 2023 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate | | 3.81 | % | | 4.71 | % | | 3.56 | % |
| Weighted average Company volatility | | 47.02 | % | | 48.28 | % | | 58.21 | % |
| Expected annual dividends per share | | $ | 0.15 | | | $ | 0.15 | | | $ | 0.15 | |
| Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU | | $ | 102.81 | | | $ | 138.12 | | | $ | 120.42 | |
The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for the term corresponding to the three-year performance period. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the three-year performance period. Expected dividends are based on the anticipated common stock cash dividend rate for the Company at the time of grant.
For certain of the awards granted, the after-tax portion of the award is subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. For these awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 4.50%, 4.40% and 7.40% in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Finnerty model.
Total PSU activity for the year was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In thousands, except per PSU data) | PSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU |
| Non-vested at February 2, 2025 | 266 | | | $ | 110.64 | |
| Granted | 192 | | | 85.12 | |
| Increase due to market conditions achieved above target | 9 | | | 102.88 | |
| Vested | 42 | | | 102.88 | |
| Forfeited | 91 | | | 102.97 | |
| Non-vested at February 1, 2026 | 334 | | | $ | 98.86 | |
The aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs granted during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $16.3 million, $15.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $4.3 million, $6.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively. PSUs in the above table that remain subject to market conditions are reflected at the target level, which is consistent with how expense will be recorded, regardless of the numbers of shares that are expected to be earned.
At February 1, 2026, there was $11.2 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Options
Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying stock option award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award
recipient’s retirement (as defined in the Plan). Such stock options are granted with a 10-year term and the per share exercise
price cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is expensed over the stock options’ requisite service periods. There were no stock options granted during 2025.
The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during 2024 and 2023 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate | | 4.33 | % | | 3.33 | % |
| Weighted average expected stock option term (in years) | | 6.25 | | 6.25 |
| Weighted average Company volatility | | 53.32 | % | | 50.60 | % |
| Expected annual dividends per share | | $ | 0.15 | | | $ | 0.15 | |
| Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option | | $ | 60.96 | | | $ | 43.47 | |
The risk-free interest rate was based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. The expected stock option term represents the weighted average period of time that stock options granted were expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the stock options. Company volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. Expected dividends were based on the anticipated common stock cash dividend rate for the Company at the time of grant.
The Company used the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving stock option grants.
Stock option activity for the year was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In thousands, except per stock option data) | Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
| Outstanding at February 2, 2025 | 504 | | | $ | 92.31 | | | 6.2 | | $ | 5,158 | |

| Exercisable at February 1, 2026 | 347 | | | $ | 93.40 | | | 4.0 | | $ | 829 | |
The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2024 and 2023 was $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options that vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $3.1 million, $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
At February 1, 2026, there was $1.9 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
14. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time beginning in 2015 an aggregate $5.0 billion stock repurchase program through July 30, 2028. 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, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend or terminate the program at any time, without prior notice. The Company’s share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements with financial institutions to repurchase an aggregate of $500.0 million of the Company’s shares of common stock under the Company’s existing $5.0 billion stock repurchase authorization. The Company paid $500.0 million to the financial institutions and received initial deliveries of an aggregate of approximately 4.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $76.43 per share, the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on April 1, 2025. The value of the initial shares delivered represented approximately 70% of the aggregate purchase price. The ASR agreements were funded with cash on hand and $115.0 million of short-term borrowings. During the third quarter of 2025, the ASR agreements were settled, and the Company received an aggregate of approximately 2.3 million of additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The total number of shares purchased by the Company under the ASR agreements was approximately 6.9 million shares at a price paid per share of $72.44, which was based on the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the term of the ASR agreements, less a discount, and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreements. The ASR agreements were accounted for as a share purchase transaction and forward stock purchase agreement indexed to the Company’s common stock.
During 2025, the Company additionally purchased 0.8 million shares (all prior to the execution of the ASR agreements) and during 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased 4.7 million shares and 5.7 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $60.8 million, $501.1 million and $549.8 million, respectively. Excise taxes of $5.8 million, $4.6 million and $4.9 million were excluded from the share repurchases for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including in respect of the shares repurchased under the ASR agreements. As of February 1, 2026, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $1.212 billion of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases, excluding excise taxes, as the excise taxes do not reduce the authorized amount remaining.
Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs and PSUs to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

17. EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS
Growth Driver 5 Actions
In line with the fifth growth driver of the PVH+ Plan – drive efficiencies and invest in growth – the Company embarked on a multiyear initiative beginning in the second quarter of 2024 to simplify its operating model by centralizing certain processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization, through four main pillars: (i) delivering a single global technology stack, (ii) redesigning the Company’s global distribution network, (iii) reengineering the operating model in Europe, and (iv) streamlining and optimizing the Company’s support functions globally (referred to as “Growth Driver 5 Actions”).
In connection with this initiative, the Company recorded pre-tax net costs during 2024 and 2025 as shown in the following table. While the actions to support this initiative were largely completed by the end of 2025, there are certain actions to be completed and additional actions that the Company plans to take under this initiative, on a limited basis, during 2026. Such actions include the completion of the expected sale of the Company’s owned warehouse and distribution center located in Jonesville, NC, as further discussed in Note 3, “Assets Held For Sale.” The net impact of these remaining actions cannot be quantified at this time.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | Costs Incurred During 2024 | | Costs Incurred During 2025 | | Cumulative Net Costs Incurred | | |
| Severance, termination benefits and other employee costs | $ | 33.5 | | | $ | 80.1 | | | $ | 113.6 | | | |
Accelerated depreciation (1) | — | | | 6.6 | | | 6.6 | | | |
Long-lived asset impairments and disposals (1) | — | | | 6.4 | | | 6.4 | | | |
Gain on sale of warehouse and distribution center (2) | (9.5) | | | — | | | (9.5) | | | |
| Total | $ | 24.0 | | | $ | 93.1 | | | $ | 117.1 | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
(1) The Company recorded accelerated depreciation expense and long-lived asset impairments and disposals during 2025, which were primarily related to legacy technology assets that will be or have been decommissioned as the Company moves to a single global technology stack.
(2) The Company sold a warehouse and distribution center during the third quarter of 2024, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $9.5 million that was recorded during 2024. Such amount represents the consideration received, less costs to sell. The warehouse and distribution center assets had no remaining carrying value at the time of the sale.
The severance, termination benefits and other employee costs, accelerated depreciation expense and long-lived asset impairments and disposals were recorded in SG&A expenses and the gain on the sale of warehouse and distribution center was included in other gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the respective periods. These pre-tax net costs are included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes.
The liabilities related to these costs were principally recorded in accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | Liability at 2/2/25 | | Costs Incurred During 2025 | | Costs Paid During 2025 | | Liability at 2/1/26 |
| Severance, termination benefits and other employee costs | $ | 22.6 | | | $ | 80.1 | | | $ | 72.3 | | | $ | 30.4 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
2022 Cost Savings Initiative
The Company announced in August 2022 it would be taking steps to streamline its organization and simplify its ways of working. Included in this was a planned reduction in people costs in its global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 to drive efficiencies and enable continued strategic investments to fuel growth, including in digital, supply chain and consumer engagement, which was completed. These reductions have resulted in annual cost savings of over $100 million, net of continued strategic people investments. In connection with this initiative, the Company recorded pre-tax severance, termination benefits and other employee costs of $81.5 million, of which $61.3 million was incurred during 2023. All expected costs related to this initiative were incurred by the end of 2023.
The severance, termination benefits and other employee costs were recorded in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. These pre-tax net costs are included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes.
The liabilities related to these costs were substantially paid as of February 2, 2025.
18. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computed its basic and diluted net income per common share as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions, except per share data) | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Net income | $ | 25.3 | | | $ | 598.5 | | | $ | 663.6 | |
| | | | | |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net income per common share | 48.1 | | | 56.0 | | | 61.0 | |
| Weighted average impact of dilutive securities | 0.4 | | | 0.7 | | | 0.7 | |
| Total shares for diluted net income per common share | 48.5 | | | 56.7 | | | 61.7 | |
| | | | | |
| Basic net income per common share | $ | 0.53 | | | $ | 10.69 | | | $ | 10.88 | |
| | | | | |
| Diluted net income per common share | $ | 0.52 | | | $ | 10.56 | | | $ | 10.76 | |
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Weighted average potentially dilutive securities | 0.8 | | | 0.4 | | | 0.8 | |
Shares underlying contingently issuable awards that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSU awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of February 1, 2026, February 2, 2025 and February 4, 2024 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for each applicable year. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 0.6 million, 0.2 million and 0.1 million as of February 1, 2026, February 2, 2025 and February 4, 2024, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.
19. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Omitted from purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2025, 2024 and 2023, were accruals for capital expenditures of $29.1 million, $17.4 million and $27.7 million, respectively.
Omitted from acquisition of treasury shares in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were (i) for 2024 and 2023, $4.0 million and 2.1 million, respectively, of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program for which the trades occurred but remained unsettled as of the end of the respective periods and (ii) for 2025, 2024 and 2023, $5.8 million, $4.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of accruals for excise taxes on share repurchases.
20. SEGMENT DATA
Effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, the Company changed its reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in its business and organizational structure. These changes included the reorganization of the executive leadership structure directly reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM. The Company’s new organizational structure provides for the pairing of the Company’s global brands with commercial execution in geographic regions, underpinned by a demand- and data-driven operating model, making steady progress against the PVH+ Plan, the Company’s multiyear, strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and make PVH the leading brand building group in its sector. The Company’s new reportable segments are: (i) Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), (ii) Americas, (iii) Asia-Pacific (“APAC”), and (iv) Licensing. The new reportable segments reflect the way the Company is currently being managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. In the tables below, the Company has recast historical segment reporting to reflect the new organizational structure.
The EMEA, Americas, and APAC segments derive revenue principally from the sale of TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein branded apparel, accessories and related products. These segments encompass the marketing of these products at wholesale primarily to department and specialty stores (including their digital commerce operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, distributors and franchisees (primarily for EMEA and APAC), and warehouse clubs and off-price retailers (primarily for Americas). Within these segments the Company also operates retail stores (which, for Americas, are primarily
located in premium outlet centers and, to a lesser extent, in full price and other channels), concession locations (for EMEA and APAC), and digital commerce sites, which sell these products. These segments also include the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of its investments in its unconsolidated affiliates that operate in such regions.
The Company derives revenue in the Licensing segment principally from licensing and similar arrangements relating to the use by third parties of the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brand names for a broad range of product categories, as well as for certain territories.
The CODM uses segment income (loss) before interest and taxes as the profit measure to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources to the segments. The CODM considers variances of actual and forecasted performance to prior year when making decisions.

22. OTHER COMMENTS
Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into the Company’s business under the Provisions of the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL Provisions”) upon the suspicion that the Company (i) suspended normal transactions with Chinese entities or individuals, (ii) adopted discriminatory measures against products produced in or made from raw materials or component parts from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and (iii) violated normal market trading principles. In October 2024, the Company submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, the Company submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February 2025, it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the UEL. The Company does not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures as a result of the listing or what they will be if any are imposed. According to the UEL Provisions, potential measures could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of the Company’s relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of the Company’s relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No measures have been imposed on the Company at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include the Company’s inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, the Company’s inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or the Company’s inability to make investments in China.
The Company cannot currently predict the duration or impact of any measures that may ultimately be imposed. The imposition and enforcement of measures against the Company could have a material adverse effect on its revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, if, as a result of any such measures, it is necessary for the Company to cease certain or all operations in China, it may result in charges related to excess inventory and difficulty collecting trade receivables, among other things. The Company may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if it is unable to recover the carrying value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Additionally, if the production of the Company’s products in China ceases, its business could be impacted more broadly and the Company may need or decide to shift production to other jurisdictions.
Litigation
The Company is a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment, based, in part, on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
Asset Retirement Liabilities
The Company’s asset retirement liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and relate to the Company’s obligation to dismantle or remove leasehold improvements from leased office, retail store or warehouse locations at the end of a lease term in order to restore a facility to a condition specified in the lease agreement. The Company records the fair value of the liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is legally or contractually incurred. Upon initial recognition of the asset retirement liability, an asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement cost is recognized as expense through depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Changes in the liability for the asset retirement obligations are recognized for the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows. Accretion expense is recognized in SG&A expenses for the impacts of increasing the discounted fair value to its estimated settlement value.
The following table presents the activity related to the Company’s asset retirement liabilities, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the years ended February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025:

Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company has a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) administered through a third party platform that provides the Company’s inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from the Company to participating financial institutions in advance of the invoice due date, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. The Company’s payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the SCF program.
Accordingly, amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the corresponding payments are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table presents the activity related to the Company’s outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program, included in accounts payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the years ended February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025:
