ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operate our business through the following reportable segments: (i) Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), (ii) Americas, (iii) Asia-Pacific (“APAC”), and (iv) Licensing. Our reportable segments include the brand businesses we operate under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, which we own, and Van Heusen, Nike and other trademarks, which we license for certain product categories. References to brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and identified by italicizing the brand name. Please see Note 16, “Segment Data,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of our reportable segments.
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.
We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 140 years. We have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange for over 100 years.
Our revenue was $9.0 billion in 2025, of which over 70% was generated outside of the United States. Our global iconic lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, together generated over 95% of our revenue.
In addition to the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands, which are owned, we also license the Van Heusen, Nike and other brands for certain product categories.
PVH+ Plan
The PVH+ Plan is our 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 our sector. Please refer to Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 under the heading “Our Business Strategy” for a description of the plan.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Macroeconomic Environment
Inflation and other macroeconomic pressures, such as tariffs and the Middle East conflict (discussed further below), elevated interest rates and the risk of recession, continue to create a complex and challenging retail environment globally. Macroeconomic factors are having, and may continue to have, a negative impact on consumer demand for apparel and related products globally.
The conflict in the Middle East, which began in March 2026, has resulted in disruption and instability in global supply chains, increased fuel and oil costs, foreign currency volatility, particularly in the euro, and continued volatility and uncertainty in global markets. These and other factors have had, and may continue to have, broader macroeconomic implications that could have a significant impact on our business, including a decline in consumer spending and inventory availability. We are already seeing a broader impact from the conflict on consumer purchasing behavior in Turkey and the greater European region, including the effect of increased fuel prices, which is causing a decline in consumer traffic to stores and a more promotional environment. We have also started to experience an impact to wholesale demand in the direct Middle East region (excluding Turkey). Approximately 1% and 7% of our revenue and income before interest and taxes (excluding goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges), respectively, were generated in the direct Middle East region (excluding Turkey) in 2025. The length, scope and intensity of the conflict remain uncertain. As a result, there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the conflict and its broader macroeconomic implications will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2026. Our 2026 outlook currently assumes estimated negative prolonged effects from the conflict in the Middle East and its broader macroeconomic pressures.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States primarily under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), with incremental tariffs on
28
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 announced retaliatory tariffs on United States exports and other trade restrictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA tariffs imposed were unconstitutional. In response to that decision, an executive order was issued imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026.
In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund IEEPA tariffs that were previously collected, including applicable interest. CBP launched a tariff refund program in April 2026 to facilitate the refunds, and we submitted claims for IEEPA tariffs that have been previously paid. We elected to apply a gain contingency model in accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies” to account for potential recoveries of previously paid tariffs under which a gain will not be recognized until realized or realizable. As of May 3, 2026, we did not record a receivable related to potential tariff refunds as the amount and timing of any recoveries was uncertain. As of the date of this report, we have received $27 million in cash payments, plus interest, subsequent to the end of the quarter.
Further trade policy actions are unclear, including whether additional tariffs or other actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has conducted and is conducting investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 that are expected to result in new tariffs being implemented in the second or third quarter of 2026. These factors 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. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to more significantly include, further sourcing optimization, negotiations with our vendors, internal efficiencies to drive cost savings, optimizing our discount strategies and pricing actions.
Our outlook assumes that the current U.S. tariff rates on goods coming into the U.S. will continue through July 2026 and then rates will increase to an average that approximates the levels that were in place prior to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling. We currently expect an estimated net negative impact on our full year 2026 gross profit related to the negative impact of tariffs on goods coming into the United States including a gross impact of approximately $195 million and a partially offsetting impact from planned mitigation actions. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs are difficult to predict, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impact through our mitigation efforts. Our full year outlook also reflects an expected benefit to cost of goods sold of approximately $100 million related to tariff refunds, which are currently expected to be recorded in the second quarter of 2026. The amount and timing of recovery remains uncertain and dependent on regulatory and administrative processes outside of our control.
Outlook Uncertainty
There is significant uncertainty with respect to the conflict in the Middle East, global trade policies (including tariffs) and the related impacts of each on the broader global macroeconomic environment, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. Our revenue, earnings and cash flows from operations in 2026 may be subject to material change as a result of these and other macroeconomic factors.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,350 Company-operated free-standing store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, (b) approximately 1,450 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide, under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks. Additionally, we generate revenue from fees for licensing the use of our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks.
The following actions, transactions and events have impacted or will impact our results of operations and the comparability among the periods, including our full year 2026 expectations as compared to the full year 2025, as discussed below:
•We completed the sale of our owned warehouse and distribution center located in Jonesville, NC on May 11, 2026, for net proceeds of $38 million. We will record a pre-tax gain of $25 million in the second quarter of 2026 in connection with the closing of the transaction, which represents the excess of the net proceeds over the carrying value of the assets on the date of the sale. Please see Note 4, “Assets Held for Sale,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
29
included in Part I, Item I of this report for further discussion.
•We embarked on a multi-year initiative beginning in 2024 to simplify our operating model by centralizing certain processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization (the “Growth Driver 5 Actions”). The initiative has resulted in annualized cost savings of over $200 million, while continuing to make targeted investments to drive our strategic initiatives. While the actions to support this initiative were largely completed by the end of 2025, there have been certain actions taken and additional actions that we plan to take under this initiative, on a limited basis, during 2026. Such actions include the sale of our owned warehouse and distribution center located in Jonesville, NC, as discussed above.

We recorded pre-tax costs of $93 million during 2025 in connection with this initiative consisting principally of severance.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.
We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 140 years. We have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange for over 100 years.
We generated revenue of $9.0 billion, $8.7 billion, and $9.2 billion in 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, with over 70% of our revenue in 2025, 2024 and 2023 generated outside of the United States. 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, which primarily consisted of Warner’s, Olga and True&Co., which we owned until November 27, 2023. We also license Van Heusen, Nike and other brands for certain product categories.
PVH+ Plan
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. A description of the plan can be seen in Item 1 of this report under the heading “Our Business Strategy.”
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Macroeconomic Environment
The conflict in the Middle East, which began in March 2026, has resulted in increased fuel and oil costs, the strengthening of the United States dollar against other currencies, in particular the euro, and volatility in world financial markets. These and other factors may lead to broader macroeconomic implications that could have a significant impact on our business including a decline in consumer spending and inventory availability. The length, scope and intensity of the conflict is unknown. As a result, there is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the conflict and its broader macroeconomic implications will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in 2026.
Inflation and other macroeconomic pressures, such as tariffs (discussed further below), elevated interest rates and the risk of recession, continue to create a complex and challenging retail environment globally, particularly in North America. Macroeconomic factors have had and may continue to have a negative impact on consumer demand for apparel and related products globally.
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 announced 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. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, including whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended. 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. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to more significantly include further sourcing optimization, negotiations with our vendors, internal efficiencies to drive cost savings, optimizing our discount strategies and pricing actions.
The increased tariffs for goods entering the United States had a net negative impact on our full year 2025 gross profit, including a gross impact of approximately $69 million and a partially offsetting impact from mitigation actions which began in the third quarter and more significantly took effect in the fourth quarter. Our outlook assumes a 15% tariff rate on goods
35
coming into the U.S. effective February 24, 2026 and assumes that U.S. inventory receipts prior to that include the tariff rates that were in place for each applicable country prior to the Supreme Court ruling. We currently expect an estimated net negative impact on our full year 2026 gross profit, including a gross impact of approximately $195 million and a partially offsetting impact from planned mitigation actions. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs are difficult to predict, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impact through our mitigation efforts. In addition, there is significant uncertainty as to the amount and timing of tariff refunds, and as such, our outlook does not assume refunds for tariffs previously paid.
Outlook Uncertainty
There is significant uncertainty with respect to the conflict in the Middle East, global trade policies (including tariffs) and the related impacts of each on the broader macroeconomic environment, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. Our 2026 outlook excludes any potential impacts from a prolonged, expanded or more intense conflict in the Middle East and assumes no material worsening of current conditions. Our revenue and earnings in 2026 may be subject to material change as a result of these and other macroeconomic factors.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,350 Company-operated free-standing store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, (b) approximately 1,450 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks. Additionally, we generate revenue from fees for licensing the use of our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks.
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. We operate our business through the following reportable segments: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) APAC, and (iv) Licensing. Our historical segment results have been recast to reflect the new organizational structure. Our reportable segments include the brand businesses we operate under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, which we own, and Van Heusen, Nike and other trademarks, which we license for certain product categories. References to brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and identified by italicizing the brand name. Please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our reportable segments.
The following actions, transactions and events have impacted our results of operations and the comparability among the years, including our full year 2026 expectations, as discussed below:
•We recorded pre-tax noncash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $480 million in the first quarter of 2025 in conjunction with interim goodwill and other intangible assets impairment tests. The impairments were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
•We embarked on a multi-year initiative beginning in the second quarter of 2024 to simplify our operating model through the Growth Driver 5 Actions. The initiative has resulted in annualized cost savings of over $200 million, while making targeted investments to drive our strategic initiatives. 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 we plan to take under this initiative, on a limited basis, in 2026. We recorded pre-tax costs of $93 million during 2025 in connection with this initiative consisting principally of severance. We recorded pre-tax costs of $24 million during 2024 in connection with this initiative, including $33 million of costs consisting principally of severance, which were partially offset by a $10 million gain on the sale of a warehouse and distribution center. We expect to incur additional costs in 2026, however the additional costs cannot be quantified at this time. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
•We amended in September 2024 Mr. Tommy Hilfiger’s employment agreement, pursuant to which we made a cash buyout of a portion of the future payment obligation (the “Mr. Hilfiger amendment”). We recorded pre-tax costs of
36
$51 million during the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment.
•We completed the sale of our Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. women’s intimates businesses, including net assets with a carrying value of $140 million, to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $156 million. We recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the closing of the transaction, consisting of (i) a gain of $15 million, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the carrying value of the net assets, less costs to sell, partially offset by (ii) $2 million of pre-tax severance and other termination benefits associated with the transaction. We recorded an incremental gain of $10 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
•We announced in August 2022 plans to reduce people costs in our 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 (the “2022 cost savings initiative”), which has resulted in annual cost savings of over $100 million, net of continued strategic people investments. We recorded pre-tax costs of $61 million during 2023, consisting principally of severance related to additional actions taken in July and September 2023. All costs related to these actions were incurred by the end of 2023. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
We extended in 2022 most of our licensing agreements with 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 agreeme
