Non-GAAP Amounts:

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

CEO Comments:

Stefan Larsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter earnings significantly exceeded our guidance, led by our international businesses, and we achieved overall stronger than expected margin performance across brands. This reflects the strength of our global iconic brands, Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER, and the pricing power we are able to achieve through strength in product, consumer engagement, and consumer experience in the digitally led marketplace. While COVID-related challenges remain, we delivered double-digit revenue growth, which would have been even stronger, and above guidance, if not for the greater than anticipated impact of U.S. port delays that pushed wholesale shipments into the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Larsson added, “Looking ahead, while we continue to monitor the evolving COVID uncertainty, based on our strong third quarter performance and current momentum with holiday sales off to a strong start, we are further raising our earnings guidance for the full year. We are now forecasting operating margins above 2019 pre-pandemic levels. We remain highly focused on driving sustainable, long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.”

Third Quarter Review:

• Revenue: Overall revenue for the third quarter increased 10% compared to the prior year period, despite worsening logistics disruptions in October, including significant U.S. port delays, which resulted in a 4% negative impact from an unplanned shift in the timing of U.S. wholesale shipments from the third quarter into the fourth quarter. Revenue in the current quarter reflected a 4% reduction resulting from the sale of certain intellectual property and other assets of the Heritage Brands business that closed on the first day of the third quarter of 2021 and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business that was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2021.

• Direct-to-Consumer: Total direct-to-consumer revenue for the third quarter was flat compared to the prior year period, inclusive of a 5% reduction from the exit of the Heritage Brands Retail business. Digital commerce increased 21% as compared to the prior year period on top of exceptionally strong growth in 2020. The Company’s retail stores continued to face pressure as a result of the pandemic, with the majority of the Company’s stores in Australia temporarily closed for most of the current year’s third quarter.

• Wholesale: Total wholesale revenue for the third quarter increased 17% compared to the prior year period despite the unplanned shift in the timing of U.S. wholesale shipments mentioned above and the impact of the Heritage Brands transaction. The Company’s sales to the digital businesses of its traditional and pure play wholesale customers continued to exhibit double digit growth.

• Gross Margin: Overall gross margin in the third quarter was 57.7% as compared to 52.0% in the prior year period, primarily due to more full price selling and a favorable shift in regional sales mix. These improvements more than offset higher freight costs, including an increase in air freight to mitigate anticipated supply chain and logistics delays.

• Inventory: Overall inventory levels decreased 7% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business. In-transit inventory levels in the third quarter increased over 50% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to extended lead times from supply chain and logistics disruptions, including U.S. port delays, which drove the above mentioned shift in the timing of U.S. wholesale shipments from the third quarter into the fourth quarter.

Third Quarter Consolidated Results:

Third quarter revenue increased 10% to $2.333 billion compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on third quarter 2021 revenue. The revenue increase compared to the prior year period reflects:

• A 12% increase in the Tommy Hilfiger business compared to the prior year period, including an 11% increase in Tommy Hilfiger International revenue and a 13% increase in Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue.

• A 22% increase in the Calvin Klein business compared to the prior year period, including a 19% increase in Calvin Klein International revenue and a 27% increase in Calvin Klein North America revenue.
• A 36% decrease in the Heritage Brands business compared to the prior year period, which included a 40% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business.

Earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $3.89 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.98 in the prior year period. These results include the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release, including a pre-tax net gain of $113 million recorded in the current quarter in connection with the Heritage Brands transaction. Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis was $2.67 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $1.32 in the prior year period.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $377 million compared to $122 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the third quarter of 2021 was an aggregate net gain of $111 million consisting of (i) a $113 million net gain in connection with the Heritage Brands transaction and (ii) costs of $2 million in connection with actions announced in March 2021 to streamline the Company’s organization through reductions in its workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, consisting of severance. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the prior year period were costs of $10 million consisting of (i) $9 million in connection with exiting the Heritage Brands Retail business and (ii) $1 million related to the North America workforce reduction, comprised of severance and other termination benefits. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $266 million compared to $132 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the revenue increase and gross margin improvements discussed above.

Net interest expense on a GAAP basis decreased to $25 million from $34 million in the prior year period. Included in net interest expense for the prior year period was a $1 million expense resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. Net interest expense on a non-GAAP basis for the prior year period excludes this amount. Net interest expense of $25 million on a GAAP basis (there were no non-GAAP exclusions in the third quarter of 2021) is a decrease from $32 million on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of (i) over $800 million of voluntary debt payments made during the first nine months of 2021 and (ii) lower interest rates in the third quarter of 2021.

The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2021 was 20.7% as compared to 21.6% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2021 was 20.5% as compared to 6.1% in the prior year period.

Stock Repurchase Program:

The Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock for $149 million during the third quarter of 2021 ($1.6 billion since inception) under the $2.0 billion stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors through June 3, 2023.

2021 Outlook:

The Company is providing its updated 2021 outlook despite the continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Omicron variant, and related supply chain and logistics disruptions globally. Supply chain and logistics disruptions have impacted and continue to impact the Company, including vessel, container and other transportation shortages, labor shortages and port congestion globally, as well as production delays in some of the Company’s key sourcing countries. These disruptions have resulted in, and could continue to result in, delivery delays to wholesale customers and delayed inventory availability for the Company’s stores and digital commerce businesses. The Company’s 2021 results could differ materially from its current outlook.

Full Year Guidance

Revenue in 2021 is projected to increase 27% to 28% (increase 25% to 26% on a constant currency basis) as compared to 2020.

The Company currently projects that 2021 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be approximately $10.75 compared to a loss per share of $(15.96) in 2020. These results include the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. Earnings per share and loss per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, respectively, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

The Company currently projects that 2021 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be approximately $9.25 compared to a loss per share of $(1.97) in 2020.

Net interest expense in 2021 on a GAAP basis is projected to decrease to approximately $105 million compared to $121 million in 2020. Included in net interest expense for the prior year was a $5 million expense resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. Net interest expense on a non-GAAP basis for the prior year excludes this amount. Net interest expense in 2021 on a GAAP basis (there are no non-GAAP exclusions expected in 2021) is projected to decrease to approximately $105 million compared to $116 million on a non-GAAP basis in 2020.

The Company estimates that the 2021 effective tax rate will be in a range of 7.5% to 8.5% on a GAAP basis, which includes an estimated discrete tax benefit to be recorded in the fourth quarter resulting from a tax accounting method change made in conjunction with its 2020 U.S. federal income tax return. The 2021 effective tax rate guidance on a non-GAAP basis excludes this amount. The Company estimates that the 2021 effective tax rate will be in a range of 16% to 17% on a non-GAAP basis. Included in the 2021 effective tax rate guidance on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis is an expected discrete tax benefit related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s estimate of 2021 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis excludes (i) a $113 million pre-tax net gain recorded in connection with the Heritage Brands transaction, (ii) $48 million of pre-tax costs incurred in connection with actions announced in March 2021 to streamline its organization through reductions in its workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, and (iii) $21 million of pre-tax costs incurred in connection with exiting the Heritage Brands Retail business, and the resulting estimated tax effects of these pre-tax items.

Fourth Quarter Guidance

The Company expects revenue and earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021 to continue to be impacted by the pandemic. While the international businesses have exceeded and are expected to continue to exceed 2019 pre-pandemic revenue levels in the fourth quarter of 2021, the North America businesses are expected to remain challenged, as international tourism, which is the source of a significant portion of regional revenue, is not expected to return to any significant level.

The Company expects gross margin to continue to realize improvements in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 due to more full price selling and a favorable shift in regional sales mix, which are expected to more than offset higher freight costs.

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 is projected to increase 11% to 14% (increase 16% to 19% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period.

The Company currently projects that fourth quarter 2021 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be approximately $3.00 compared to a loss per share of $(0.81) in the prior year period. These results include the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. Earnings per share and loss per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, respectively, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

The Company currently projects that fourth quarter 2021 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be approximately $1.94 compared to a loss per share of $(0.38) in the prior year period.

Net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2021 on a GAAP basis is projected to decrease to approximately $25 million compared to $34 million in the prior year period. Included in net interest expense for the prior year period was a $3 million expense resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. Net interest expense on a non-GAAP basis for the prior year period excludes this amount. Net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2021 on a GAAP basis (there are no non-GAAP exclusions expected in the fourth quarter of 2021) is projected to decrease to approximately $25 million compared to $32 million on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year period.

The Company estimates that the fourth quarter 2021 effective tax rate will be in a range of (190)% to (230)% on a GAAP basis, which includes an estimated discrete tax benefit to be recorded in the fourth quarter resulting from a tax accounting method change made in conjunction with its 2020 U.S. federal income tax return. The fourth quarter 2021 effective tax rate guidance on a non-GAAP basis excludes this amount. The Company estimates that the fourth quarter 2021 effective tax rate will be in a range of (85)% to (115)% on a non-GAAP basis. Included in the fourth quarter 2021 effective tax rate guidance on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis is an expected discrete tax benefit related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions.

Please see the section entitled “Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” at the end of this release for further detail and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts discussed in this section.

Non-GAAP Exclusions:

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

• Pre-tax costs of $48 million incurred in 2021 in connection with actions announced in March 2021 to streamline the Company’s organization through reductions in its workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, consisting of noncash asset impairments, severance, and contract termination and other costs, of which $43 million was incurred in the first quarter, $2 million was incurred in the second quarter, and $2 million was incurred in the third quarter.
• Pre-tax costs of $21 million incurred in 2021 in connection with the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business announced in July 2020 that was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2021, consisting of severance and other termination benefits, accelerated amortization of lease assets and contract termination and other costs, of which $8 million was incurred in the first quarter and $13 million was incurred in the second quarter.
• Pre-tax net gain of $113 million recorded in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with the sale of certain intellectual property and other assets of the Company’s Heritage Brands business that closed on the first day of the third quarter of 2021 (the “Heritage Brands transaction”), which includes a gain on the sale, less costs to sell, a net gain on the Company’s retirement plans associated with the transaction, and severance costs.
• Estimated discrete tax benefit to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from a tax accounting method change made in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 U.S. federal income tax return.
• Pre-tax noncash impairment charges of $1.021 billion recorded in 2020, primarily resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, including $933 million related to goodwill and other intangible assets, $75 million related to store assets, and $12 million related to an equity method investment, of which $962 million was recorded in the first quarter and $59 million was recorded in the fourth quarter.
• Pre-tax costs of $7 million incurred in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with a consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America.
• Pre-tax noncash net loss of $3 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020 related to the April 2020 sale of the Company’s Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC, the parent company of the Speedo brand (the “Speedo transaction”) and the resulting deconsolidation of the net assets of the Speedo North America business.
• Pre-tax expense of $5 million recorded in 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited that it did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”), of which $4 million of income was recorded in the first quarter, $5 million of expense was recorded in the second quarter, $1 million of expense was recorded in the third quarter and $3 million of expense was recorded in the fourth quarter.
• Pre-tax costs of $40 million incurred in 2020 related to the reduction in the Company’s North America office workforce announced in July 2020 (the “North America workforce reduction”), primarily consisting of severance, of which $38 million was recorded in the second quarter and $1 million was recorded in the third quarter.
• Pre-tax costs of $29 million incurred in 2020 in connection with exiting the Heritage Brands Retail business, consisting of $15 million of severance, $7 million of noncash asset impairments and $7 million of accelerated amortization of lease assets and other costs, of which $12 million was incurred in the second quarter, $9 million was incurred in the third quarter and $8 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
• Pre-tax gain of $65 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the recognized actuarial gain on retirement plans.
• Discrete tax expense of $33 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the remeasurement of certain of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the enactment of legislation in the Netherlands known as the “2021 Dutch Tax Plan,” which became effective on January 1, 2021.
• Estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax items, which are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it had identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the applicable income tax rate in the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

As a supplement to the Company’s GAAP results, the Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company presents results in this manner because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies but reports financial information in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported revenues. The Company believes presenting constant currency revenue information provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.

The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the relevant period into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior year period (rather than at the actual exchange rates in effect during the relevant period).

Constant currency performance should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency revenue information presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

Please see Tables 1 through 9 and the section entitled “Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” later in this release for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts.

PVH CORP.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes it is useful to investors to present its results for the periods ended October 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020 on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the costs incurred in the first, second and third quarters of 2021 in connection with actions announced in March 2021 to streamline the Company’s organization through reductions in its workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce its real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, consisting of noncash asset impairments, severance, and contract termination and other costs; (ii) the costs incurred in the first and second quarters of 2021 and the second and third quarters of 2020 related to exiting the Heritage Brands Retail business, consisting of severance and other termination benefits, accelerated amortization of lease assets, contract termination and other costs, and noncash asset impairments; (iii) the gain recorded in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with the sale of certain intellectual property and other assets of the Company’s Heritage Brands business that closed on the first day of the third quarter of 2021 (the “Heritage Brands transaction”), which includes a gain on the sale, less costs to sell, and a net gain on the Company’s retirement plans associated with the transaction; (iv) the costs incurred in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with the Heritage Brands transaction, consisting of severance; (v) the income (expense) recorded in the first, second and third quarters of 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the acquisition of the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited that the Company did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”); (vi) the noncash impairment charges recorded in the first quarter of 2020 related to store assets as a result of the significant negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, consisting of property, plant and equipment; (vii) the noncash impairment charges recorded in the first quarter of 2020 related to goodwill, tradenames, and other intangible assets, as well as an equity method investment, as a result of the significant negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business; (viii) the noncash net loss recorded in the first quarter of 2020 related to the sale of the Speedo North America business in April 2020 (the “Speedo transaction”) and the resulting deconsolidation of the net assets of the business; (ix) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America; (x) the costs incurred in the second and third quarters of 2020 in connection with the reduction in the North America office workforce announced in July 2020 (the “North America workforce reduction”), primarily consisting of severance; and (xi) the tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items. The Company excludes these amounts because it deems them to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that their exclusion (i) facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company, and (ii) assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The Company’s results excluding the items described above are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The information presented on a non-GAAP basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
