PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009, the related consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of January 31, 2010, and the related consolidated income statement, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 31, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1.  GENERAL

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The Company’s fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to February 1 and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010.

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.

The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the prior year periods to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year.

References to the brand names Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, IZOD, Bass, G.H. Bass & Co., ARROW, Eagle, Geoffrey Beene, CHAPS, Sean John, Trump, Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, JOE Joseph Abboud, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Michael Kors Collection, DKNY, Elie Tahari, Nautica, Ike Behar, Ted Baker, Jones New York, J. Garcia, Claiborne, Robert Graham, U.S. POLO ASSN., Axcess and Timberland and to other brand names are to registered trademarks owned by the Company or licensed to the Company by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories related to the Company’s wholesale and international retail operations, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories related to the Company’s North American retail operations, comprised entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of average cost or market using the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost is calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. Permanent and point of sale markdowns, when recorded, reduce both the retail and cost components of inventory on hand so as to maintain the already established cost-to-retail relationship.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger

The Company acquired on May 6, 2010 all of the outstanding equity interests of Tommy Hilfiger B.V. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Tommy Hilfiger”). The results of Tommy Hilfiger’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date.

5

---

Tommy Hilfiger, through its subsidiaries, designs, sources and markets men’s and women’s sportswear and activewear, jeanswear, childrenswear and other products worldwide and licenses its brands worldwide over a broad range of products.

The Company believes Tommy Hilfiger’s established international platform in Europe will be a strategic complement to its strong North American presence and provides the Company with the resources and expertise needed to grow its heritage brands and businesses internationally.

Fair Value of the Acquisition Consideration

The acquisition date fair value of the acquisition consideration paid at closing totaled $2,969,225, which consisted of the following:

Cash	$2,483,258
Common stock (8,044 shares, par value $1.00    per share)	485,967
Total fair value of the acquisition consideration	$2,969,225

The fair value of the 8,044 common shares issued was equal to the aggregate value of the shares at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on May 5, 2010, the day prior to the closing. The value is not the same as the value of the shares as determined pursuant to the acquisition agreement, due to the fluctuation in the market price of the Company’s common stock between the date of the acquisition agreement and the date of the acquisition closing.

The Company funded the cash portion and related costs of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition with cash on hand and the net proceeds of the following activities: (i) the sale on April 28, 2010 of 5,750 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the issuances of an aggregate of 8 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, which are currently convertible into 4,189 shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200,000; (iii) the issuance of $600,000 of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020; and (iv) the borrowing of approximately $1,900,000 of term loans under new credit facilities.

Please see the notes entitled “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” “Debt” and “Stockholders’ Equity” for a further discussion of these aspects of the acquisition.

The Company incurred certain pre-tax costs directly associated with the acquisition, totaling approximately $52,000, which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in its financial statements. The Company also recorded a loss of $140,490 during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 associated with hedges against Euro to United States dollar exchange rates relating to the purchase price. The Company incurred costs totaling $28,920 associated with the issuance of the common and preferred shares related to the acquisition, which were deducted from the recognized proceeds of issuance within stockholders’ equity. The Company incurred costs totaling $70,512 associated with the issuance of debt related to the acquisition, which will be amortized over the term of the related debt agreement.

Tommy Hilfiger had total revenue of $532,175 and a net loss, after non-cash valuation amortization charges and transaction and integration costs, of $(4,720) for the period from the date of acquisition through August 1, 2010. These amounts are included in the Company’s results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods then ended.

Pro Forma Impact of the Transaction

The following table presents the Company’s pro forma consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition and the related financing transactions had occurred on February 2, 2009 instead of on May 6, 2010. The pro forma results were calculated applying the Company’s accounting policies and reflect: (i) the impact on depreciation and amortization based on what would have been charged related to the fair value adjustments to Tommy Hilfiger’s property, plant and equipment and the intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition; (ii) the impact on interest expense and interest income resulting from changes to the Company’s capital structure in connection with the acquisition; (iii) the impact on cost of goods sold resulting from acquisition-date adjustments to the fair value of inventory; and (iv) the tax effects of the above adjustments. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the plann ed integration of Tommy Hilfiger. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are

6

---

not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on February 2, 2009, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.

	Pro Forma Thirteen Weeks Ended		Pro Forma Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	8/1/10	8/2/09	8/1/10	8/2/09
Total revenue	$1,112,040	$1,013,806	$2,368,196	$2,157,053
Net income	54,749	8,915	114,794	3,521

Allocation of the Acquisition Consideration

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Trade receivables	$  193,080
Inventories	282,838
Prepaid expenses	32,232
Other current assets	95,135
Property, plant and equipment	230,505
Goodwill	1,225,470
Tradenames	1,635,417
Other intangibles	172,069
Other assets	121,002
Accounts payable	91,570
Accrued expenses	224,195
Other liabilities	702,758

The Company is still in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to change.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,225,470, which was assigned to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments (See Note 15, “Segment Data”) in the amounts of $82,352 and $1,143,118, respectively. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company also recorded other intangible assets of $1,807,486, which included customer relationships of $138,724, covenants not to compete of $1,527 and order backlog of $31,818, which are all amortizable, as well as indefinitely-lived tradenames of $1,635,417.

Acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger Handbag License

On June 14, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to reacquire from a licensee, prior to the expiration of the license, the rights to distribute Tommy Hilfiger branded handbags internationally. The effective date of the transfer of the rights is December 31, 2010. In connection with this transaction, the Company made a payment of $7,349 to the licensee during the second quarter of 2010.

The transaction is being accounted for as a business combination. The Company’s preliminary assessment of the assets to be acquired by the Company on December 31, 2010 is that no amortizable intangible assets will be acquired. Until a more complete allocation of the purchase price is finalized, the Company has classified the entire $7,349 purchase price as goodwill.

Acquisition of Block Assets

The Company acquired in February 2009 from Block Corporation (“Block”), a former licensee of Van Heusen and IZOD “big and tall” sportswear in the United States, inventories and inventory purchase commitments related to the licensed business. As part of this transaction, the license agreements between the Company and Block were terminated. The Company paid $5,699 during the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the transaction.

4.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended August 1, 2010, by segment, were as follows:

The Company is required to make contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein in connection with the Company’s acquisition in 2003 of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Calvin Klein”). Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the agreement (as amended) governing the Calvin Klein acquisition, of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands and are required to be made with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by the Company and its licensees and other partners to retailers.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consisted of the following:

8

---

Customer relationships recorded in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger are amortized principally over 15 years from the date of acquisition. Covenants not to compete in connection with the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition are amortized over two years from the date of acquisition. Order backlog in connection with the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition is amortized over six months from the date of acquisition. As of August 1, 2010, the weighted average life of the amortizable intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger was 13.1 years.

Customer relationships and license rights recorded as of January 31, 2010 are amortized principally over 15 years from the date of the related acquisition. Covenants not to compete recorded as of January 31, 2010 are amortized over ten years from the date of acquisition.

As of August 1, 2010, accumulated amortization for other intangible assets was $28,793.

Amortization expense, a portion of which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation, for the remainder of 2010 and the next five years thereafter related to the Company’s intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

Remainder of 2010	$23,057
2011	12,993
2012	12,405
2013	12,149
2014	12,149
2015	12,149

9

---

The Company’s intangible assets not subject to amortization consisted of the following:

5.  RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has five noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States (not currently including any employees associated with the businesses acquired in the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition) who meet certain age and service requirements. For those vested (after five years of service), the plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement based on career compensation and years of credited service.

The Company also has for certain of such employees an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon, or shortly after, employment termination or retirement.

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, the Company also has for certain members of Tommy Hilfiger’s senior management a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP Plan”), which is a non-qualified unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan. Such plan is frozen, and as a result, participants do not accrue additional benefits.

In addition to the defined benefit pension plans described above, the Company has a capital accumulation program (“CAP Plan”), which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering four current and 16 retired executives. Under the individual participants’ CAP Plan agreements, the participants will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the CAP Plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55.

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. During 2002, the postretirement plan was amended to eliminate benefits for active participants who, as of January 1, 2003, had not attained age 55 and 10 years of service.

Net benefit cost related to the Company’s pension plans was recognized as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended		Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at the one month Japanese inter-bank borrowing rate (“TIBOR”) plus 0.20%. Such facility matures on May 31, 2011. The outstanding balance was ¥400,000 ($4,617 based on the Yen to United States dollar exchange rate in effect on August 1, 2010) as of August 1, 2010, with the balance of ¥200,000 ($2,283 based on the Yen to United States dollar exchange rate in effect on August 1, 2010) remaining undrawn under the facility.

These credit facilities provide for borrowings equal to an aggregate of approximately $2,350,000 (based on applicable exchange rates in effect on August 1, 2010), consisting of (i) an aggregate of approximately $1,900,000 of term loan facilities, which had been borrowed in full at May 6, 2010 and for which the Company made repayments of $100,000 during the second quarter of 2010; and (ii) approximately $450,000 of revolving credit facilities, for which the Company had no revolving credit borrowings and $195,824 of letters of credit outstanding as of August 1, 2010.

The term loan A facilities and the revolving credit facilities will mature on May 6, 2015 and the term loan B facilities will mature on May 6, 2016. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate, each of which is determined based on the jurisdiction of such borrowings. The terms of each of the term loan A and B facilities contain a mandatory repayment schedule on a quarterly basis, such that the total annual repayments are as follows:

	Term Loan
	A		B
Originally borrowed on May 6, 2010, based on the applicable exchange rate at that date	$494,970		$1,384,910
Percentage required to be repaid for the annual period ending May 6:
2011	5%		1%
2012	10%		1%
2013	15%		1%
2014	25%		1%
2015	45%		1%
2016	-		95%

Additionally, in the event there is consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the agreement, for any fiscal year, the Company is required to prepay a percentage of such amount based on its Leverage Ratio, as calculated in accordance with the agreement. Such amount will be reduced by any repayments made during the preceding fiscal year.

All repayments made under the facilities are applied on a pro rata basis, determined by the amounts then outstanding under each of the United States dollar and Euro tranches of term loans A and B. In addition, the Company has the ability to prepay at any time the outstanding borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility without penalty (other than customary breakage costs).

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference

12

to the higher of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1% (provided, that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the base rate be deemed to be less than 2.75%); or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility (provided, that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%).

Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the average of the rates of interest per annum equal to the per annum rate of interest quoted, published and commonly known in Canada as the “prime rate” or which Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such screen is not available, any successor or similar service a s may be selected by the administrative agent), and (y) 1%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility.

The borrowings under the senior secured credit facility in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility (provided that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%).

The initial applicable margins will be (a) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility and the United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for base rate loans, as applicable, (b) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan A facility and the Euro-denominated term loan B facility, 3.25% and (c) in the case of the revolving credit facilities, (x) for borrowings denominated in United States dollars, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for base rate loans, as applicable, (y) for borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for Canadian prime rate loans, as applicable, and (z) for borrowings denominated in other currencies, 3.25%.  After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to the Company’s period ending January 30, 2011, the applicable margin for bo rrowings under the term loan A facilities and the revolving credit facilities will be adjusted depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2020

On May 6, 2010, the Company issued $600,000 principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due May 15, 2020 under an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Interest on the 7 3/8% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2010.

The Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after May 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to May 15, 2015 by paying a “make whole” premium. In addition, the Company may also redeem up to 35% of these notes prior to May 15, 2013 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

Prior Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On May 6, 2010, the Company terminated its $325,000 secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, which was scheduled to expire in July 2012.

Tender for and Redemption of 2011 Notes and 2013 Notes

The Company commenced tender offers on April 7, 2010 for (i) all of the $150,000 outstanding principal amount of its notes due 2011; and (ii) all of the $150,000 outstanding principal amount of its notes due 2013. The tender offers expired on May 4, 2010. On May 6, 2010, the Company accepted for purchase all of the notes tendered and made payment to tendering holders and called for redemption all of the balance of its outstanding 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011, and all of the balance of its outstanding 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013. The redemption prices of the notes due 2011 and 2013 were 100.000% and 101.354%, respectively, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each

13

---

applicable note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. As of May 6, 2010, the Company made an irrevocable cash deposit, including accrued and unpaid interest, to the trustee for the notes due 2011 and 2013. As a result, such notes have been satisfied and effectively discharged as of May 6, 2010.

The Company incurred a loss of $6,650 during the second quarter of 2010 on the extinguishment of its 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and its 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013.

8.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with respect to €1,300,000 during the first quarter of 2010 and €250,000 during the second quarter of 2010 in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger to hedge against its exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as a portion of the acquisition purchase price was payable in cash and denominated in Euros. Such foreign currency forward exchange contracts were not designated as hedging instruments. The Company settled the foreign currency forward exchange contracts at a loss of $140,490 (of which $88,100 was recorded in the second quarter of 2010) on May 6, 2010 in connection with the Company’s completion of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. Such loss is reflected in Other Loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operation s.

The Company has increased exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows associated with international inventory purchases as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. To help manage this exposure, the Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are designated as hedging instruments are deferred in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the consolidated balance sheets for the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts:

Asset Derivatives (Classified in Other Current Assets)						Liability Derivatives (Classified in Accrued Expenses)
	8/1/10		8/2/09				8/1/10		8/2/09
	$3,766		$    -				$9,473		$      -

At August 1, 2010, the notional amount of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding was approximately $235,000 against the Euro and $54,000 against the Canadian dollar. Such contracts expire between August 2010 and August 2011. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s derivatives designated as hedging instruments, which consist of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts for inventory purchases:

14

---

The above amount of $5,785 recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at August 1, 2010 will be recognized principally in the next 12 months in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as costs of goods sold as the underlying inventory is sold.

Please refer to Note 9 “Fair Value Measurements,” for disclosures on fair value measurements of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of August 1, 2010.

9.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined 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 were required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010:

				Total Fair
	Fair Value Measurement Using			Value at
Description	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	8/1/10
Derivative instrument assets	N/A	$ 3,766	N/A	$  3,766
Derivative instrument liabilities	N/A	$ 9,473	N/A	$  9,473

Derivative instruments presented above represent unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are measured as the difference between (i) the United States dollars to be paid at the contracts’ settlement date and (ii) the United States dollar value of the foreign currency to be purchased at the current forward or period end spot rate, as applicable.

There were no financial assets or liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009.

There were no non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010.

In accordance with FASB guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $136 were written down to a fair value of zero during the first quarter of 2009. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using current sales trends and market participant assumptions. Additionally, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $2,783 were written down to a fair value of $1,425 during the second quarter of 2009 based on the quoted contractual selling price of such assets, less the related selling costs. Such assets were sold during the third quarter of 2009.

The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:

The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt for the periods ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 were as follows:

	8/1/10			8/2/09
	Carrying	Fair		Carrying	Fair
	Amount	Value		Amount	Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$  475,340	$  475,340		$369,596	$369,596
Short-term borrowings	4,617	4,617		-	-
Long-term debt	2,491,635	2,522,577		399,576	378,375

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values 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 quarter.

10.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June 2006. The 2006 Plan replaced the Company’s then-existing 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. The 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans terminated on the date of such approval, other than with respect to outstanding options under those plans, which continue to be governed by the respective plan under which they were granted. 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.

The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“NQs”); (ii) incentive stock options (“ISOs”); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; and (vii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 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, applicable performance period(s) and performance measure(s), and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines.

Through August 1, 2010, the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan: (i) service-based NQs and RSUs; (ii) contingently issuable performance shares; and (iii) RSUs that are intended to satisfy the performance-based condition for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. According to the terms of the 2006 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, restricted stock or performance share award reduces the number available by three shares for awards made before April 29, 2009 and by two shares for awards made on or after April 29, 2009. The per share exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant (the business day prior to the date of grant for awards granted prior to September 21, 2006).  In addition, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of Tommy Hilfiger’s management employees in the second quarter of 2010 in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger.

The Company currently has service-based NQs and ISOs outstanding under its 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. Such options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant.

Net (loss) income for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 included $12,224 and $5,622, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation.

Options currently outstanding are generally cumulatively exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The vesting of options outstanding is also generally accelerated upon retirement (as defined in the applicable plan). Options are generally granted with a 10-year term.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the options, net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009, respectively:

	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	8/1/10	8/2/09
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	2.99%	2.58%
Weighted average expected option term (in years)	6.25	6.59
Weighted average expected volatility	41.78%	38.92%
Expected annual dividends per share	$  0.15	$  0.15
Weighted average estimated fair value per share of options granted	$26.45	$11.16

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 in December 2007. SAB No. 110 allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the simplified method discussed in SAB No. 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” stock options. The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from recent changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants and changes in the vesting schedule of certain grants. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

Service-based stock option activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was as follows:

		Weighted Average
	Options	Price Per Option
Outstanding at January 31, 2010	3,616	$                30.16
Granted	124	59.66
Exercised	310	21.58
Cancelled	2	28.27
Outstanding at August 1, 2010	3,428	$                32.01
Exercisable at August 1, 2010	2,522	$                30.87

Service-based RSUs granted to employees generally vest in three annual installments (25%, 25% and 50%) commencing two years after the date of grant. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of service-based RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the RSUs’ vesting period.  

RSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was as follows:

		Weighted Average
		Grant Date
	RSUs	Fair Value
Non-vested at January 31, 2010	734	$                35.85
Granted	163	58.80
Vested	85	45.24
Cancelled	12	40.04
Non-vested at August 1, 2010	800	$                39.48

The Company granted restricted stock to certain of Tommy Hilfiger’s management employees in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger during the second quarter of 2010. The stock is registered in the name of each such employee and is held in a third-party escrow account until it vests, at which time the stock will be delivered to the employees who have vested in the awards. The restricted stock vests upon the second anniversary of the date of grant.

The fair value of restricted stock is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed, net of forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the restricted stock’s vesting period.

Restricted stock activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was as follows:

		Weighted Average
	Restricted	Grant Date
	Stock	Fair Value
Non-vested at January 31, 2010	-	$                     -
Granted	179	60.41
Vested	-	-
Non-vested at August 1, 2010	179	$                60.41

The Company granted contingently issuable performance share awards to all of the Company’s senior executives (other than senior executives of Tommy Hilfiger) during the second quarter of 2010 and to all then-executive officers of the Company during the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2008, subject to performance periods of three, two and three years, respectively. The final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for each of the performance periods based on earnings per share growth for the awards granted in 2010 and both earnings per share growth and return on equity for the awards granted in 2008 during the applicable performance cycle. Depending on the level of objectives achieved, up to a total number of 611 and 89 shares could be issued for all non-vested performance share awards granted in 2010 and 2008, respectively. The Company records expense for the contingently issuable pe rformance shares ratably over each applicable vesting period based on fair value and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued. The fair value of the contingently issuable performance shares is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock during the performance cycle, as these contingently issuable performance shares do not accrue dividends prior to being earned.

Performance share activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was as follows:

		Weighted Average
	Performance	Grant Date
	Shares	Fair Value
Non-vested at January 31, 2010	89	$                41.80
Granted	611	52.69
Vested	-	-
Cancelled	-	-
Non-vested at August 1, 2010	700	$                51.31

The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 were $5,421 and $815, respectively. Of those amounts, $3,482 and $259, respectively, were reported as excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits arise when the actual tax benefit resulting from a stock plan award transaction exceeds the tax benefit associated with the grant date fair value of the related stock award.

11.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance

On May 6, 2010, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 8 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200,000 and for net proceeds of $188,595 after related fees. The Series A convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is currently convertible at a price of $47.74 into 4,189 shares of common stock. The conversion price is subject to equitable adjustment in the event of the Company taking certain actions, including stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, consolidations or other capital reorganizations. The Series A convertible preferred stock is not redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option or that of any holder. The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote and participate in dividends with the holders of the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis.

Common Stock Offering

The Company sold 5,750 shares of its common stock on April 28, 2010 for an offering price of $66.50 per share before commissions and discounts to underwriters. The net proceeds of the sale after commissions, discounts and related fees, which totaled $364,860, were used to fund a portion of the purchase price and fees relating to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. Of the 5,750 shares, a total of 5,250 shares were released from treasury and 500 shares were newly issued.

Common Stock Issuance

On May 6, 2010, the Company issued 8,044 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share, as part of the consideration paid to the former shareholders of Tommy Hilfiger in connection with the acquisition.

Warrant

The Company issued to Mr. Calvin Klein a nine-year warrant to purchase 320 shares of the Company’s common stock at $28.00 per share in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003. 160 shares of such warrant were exercised during the first quarter of 2010 and the warrant remains outstanding as of August 1, 2010 with respect to the balance of 160 shares issuable upon exercise.

12.  ACTIVITY EXIT COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger during the second quarter of 2010, the Company incurred severance and termination benefit costs. Such costs were as follows:

		Incurred During
	Total	the Thirteen and
	Expected	Twenty-Six
	to be	Weeks
	Incurred	Ended 8/1/10
Severance and termination benefits	$12,700	$         10,620

As of August 1, 2010, the liability balance for these severance and termination benefits was $10,448. The charges for severance and termination benefits were principally included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger North America segment (see Note 15, “Segment Data”).

The Company announced in the fourth quarter of 2008 that it initiated a series of actions to respond to the difficult economic conditions that existed during the second half of 2008 and were expected to (and did) continue into 2009 by restructuring certain of its operations and implementing a number of other cost reduction efforts. These restructuring initiatives were substantially completed during 2009.

The Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges in connection with these restructuring initiatives of $1,494 (of which $1,358 was recorded in the second quarter) during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009.

19

---

Such charges were included in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses not allocated to any reportable segments.

Liabilities recorded in connection with the restructuring were as follows:

		Costs Paid
		During the
	Liability	Twenty-Six Weeks	Liability
	at 1/31/10	Ended 8/1/10	at 8/1/10
Severance, termination benefits and other costs	$      2,265	$ 1,460	$     805
Lease termination costs	1,240	1,240	-
Total	$      3,505	$ 2,700	$    805

13.  NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The Company computed its basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share as follows:

The Company utilizes the two-class method of calculating basic net (loss) income per common share, as holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock participate in dividends with holders of the Company’s common stock. Net losses are not allocated to holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share were as follows:

According to FASB guidance for earnings per share, contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period should not be included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable awards that did not meet the performance conditions as of August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 700 and 280 as of August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities. Conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock into 4,051 and 2,026 weighted average common shares outstanding for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010,

20

---

respectively, was not assumed because the inclusion thereof would have been antidilutive. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities.

14.  NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009, the Company recorded increases to goodwill of $18,235 and $15,776, respectively, related to liabilities incurred for contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein. Such amounts are not due or paid in cash until 45 days subsequent to the Company’s applicable quarter end. As such, during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and August 2, 2009, the Company paid $21,452 and $18,591, respectively, in cash related to contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein that were recorded as additions to goodwill during the periods the liabilities were incurred.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company issued 8,044 shares of its common stock valued at $485,967 in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a loss of $3,005 to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the extinguishment of its 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and its 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013.

The Company issued to Mr. Calvin Klein a nine-year warrant to purchase 320 shares of the Company’s common stock at $28.00 per share in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003. 160 shares of such warrant were exercised at the end of the first quarter of 2010, and the underlying shares were issued early in the second quarter of 2010. The exercise price for these shares was satisfied through the Company’s withholding of 68 shares, which had a total fair market value that approximated the exercise price, from the shares that would have otherwise been issuable.

15.  SEGMENT DATA

The acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger has impacted significantly the way the Company and its chief operating decision maker manage and analyze its operating results.

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 apparel companies in the world, with a heritage dating back over 125 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally recognized brand names, including Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD, Bass, ARROW, Eagle and, as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2010, Tommy Hilfiger (previously a licensed brand), which are owned, and Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Sean John, JOE Joseph Abboud, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Michael Kors Collection, CHAPS, Trump (marketed as Donald J. Trump Signature Collection prior to January 1, 2010), DKNY, Elie Tahari, Nautica, Ike Behar, Ted Baker, J. Garcia, Claiborne, Robert Graham, U.S. POLO ASSN., Axcess, Jones New York and Timberland, which are licensed.

We completed our acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger during the second quarter of 2010. Tommy Hilfiger, through its subsidiaries, designs, sources and markets men’s and women’s sportswear and activewear, jeanswear, childrenswear and other products worldwide and licenses its brands worldwide over a broad range of products.

We paid $2.5 billion in cash and issued 8.0 million shares of our common stock valued at $486.0 million, as consideration for the acquisition, for total consideration of approximately $3.0 billion. We entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to purchase €1.3 billion during the first quarter of 2010, and entered into an additional foreign currency forward exchange contract to purchase €250.0 million during the second quarter of 2010, in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger to hedge against our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as a portion of the acquisition purchase price was payable in cash and denominated in Euros. We settled the foreign currency forward exchange contracts on May 6, 2010 in connection with our completion of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger.  

We funded the cash portion and related costs of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition with cash on hand and the net proceeds of the following activities: (i) the sale on April 28, 2010 of 5.8 million shares of our common stock, for an offering price of $66.50 per share; (ii) the issuance of an aggregate of 8,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200.0 million; (iii) the issuance of $600.0 million of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020; and (iv) the borrowing of $1.9 billion of term loans under new credit facilities. In conjunction with this financing, we paid $303.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 to extinguish our 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and our 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013. In addition, we made a $100.0 million voluntary debt repayment on the term loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010. These items are more fully described in the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Our historical business strategy has been to manage and market a portfolio of nationally recognized brands at multiple price points and across multiple channels of distribution. We believe this strategy reduces our reliance on any one demographic group, merchandise preference or distribution channel. We have enhanced this strategy by expanding our portfolio of brands through acquisitions of well-known brands, such as Calvin Klein, ARROW and, now, Tommy Hilfiger, that offer additional geographic distribution channel and price point opportunities in our traditional categories of dress shirts and sportswear. The Calvin Klein and, to a lesser degree, ARROW and Tommy Hilfiger acquisitions (we acquired the ARROW brand in 2004) also enhanced our business strategy by providing us with established international licensing businesses, which do not require working capital investments. We have successfully pursued growth opportunities in extending the Calvin Klein and ARROW brands through licensing into additional product categories and geographic areas and may seek to do the same with Tommy Hilfiger. The Superba and Mulberry acquisitions helped to advance our historical strategy by adding a product category that is complementary to our heritage dress shirt business and leverages our position in dress furnishings. Our business strategy was also extended by gender with our assumption in 2007 of the wholesale IZOD women’s sportswear collection, which was previously a licensed business. Further, in the second quarter of 2008, we began marketing men’s sportswear under the Timberland brand in North America under a licensing arrangement with The Timberland Company. We believe that the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger will advance our business strategy by adding a global brand with growth opportunities and by establishing an international platform in Europe that will be a strategic complement to our strong North America n presence and provides us with the resources and expertise needed to grow our heritage brands and businesses internationally.

We have entered into license agreements with partners across the globe for our brands. A significant portion of our total income before interest and taxes is derived from international sources, which, prior to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, had been primarily driven by the international component of our Calvin Klein licensing business. The acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger adds a strong operational platform that accelerates our international presence and is expected to provide a platform for global expansion of all of our brands and businesses.

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to wholesale customers and franchise, licensee and distributor operated stores of men’s dress shirts and neckwear, men’s, women’s and children’s sportswear, footwear, accessories and related products; and (ii) the sale, through over 1,000 company-operated retail locations worldwide, of apparel, footwear, accessories and other products under the brand names Van Heusen, IZOD, Bass, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.

We generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. Calvin Klein royalty, advertising and other revenue, which comprised 79% of total royalty, advertising and other revenue in the second quarter of 2010, is derived under licenses and other arrangements for a broad array of products, including jeans, underwear, fragrances, eyewear, footwear, women’s apparel, outerwear, watches and home furnishings.

We completed the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger early in the second quarter of 2010. We recorded pre-tax charges in the first half of 2010 in connection with the acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger that totaled $270.1 million, which includes: (i) a loss of $140.5 million associated with hedges against Euro to United States dollar exchange rates relating to the purchase price; (ii) non-cash valuation amortization charges of $53.3 million; and (iii) transaction, restructuring and debt extinguishment costs of $76.3 million. We expect to incur additional pre-tax expenses of approximately $45.0 million during the second half of 2010 in connection with the integration of Tommy Hilfiger. Our future results of operations will be significantly impacted by this acquisition, including through the operations of the Tommy Hilfiger business and the changes in our capital structure that were necessary to complete the acquisition as more fully discussed below.

Gross profit on total revenue is total revenue less cost of goods sold. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and other product procurement related charges. 100% of our royalty, advertising and other revenue is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 1, 2010 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2009

Net Sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $1,011.4 million as compared to $457.4 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase of $554.0 million was due principally to the effect of the following items:

·

The addition of $256.1 million and $263.3 million of net sales attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger early in the second quarter of 2010.

·

The addition of $12.7 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Heritage Brand Retail segment. This was primarily driven by a comparable store sales increase in our Heritage Brand retail businesses of 11%.

·

The addition of $18.2 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Other (Calvin Klein Apparel) segment, which is comprised of our Calvin Klein dress furnishings, sportswear and outlet retail divisions. Comparable store sales in our Calvin Klein retail business increased 14%.

Royalty, Advertising and Other Revenue

Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the second quarter of 2010 was $91.8 million as compared to $71.9 million in the prior year’s second quarter. Of the overall $20.0 million increase over the prior year, $12.7 million was attributable to Tommy Hilfiger. Within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, global licensee royalty revenue increased $5.4 million, or 11% compared to the prior year’s second quarter, due primarily to strong performance across virtually all product categories, with jeans, underwear, fragrance, women’s sportswear and dresses performing particularly well.

Gross Profit on Total Revenue

Gross profit on total revenue in the second quarter of 2010 was $575.2 million, or 52.1% of total revenue, compared with $265.8 million, or 50.2% of total revenue in the second quarter of the prior year. Included in the second quarter’s 190 basis point increase is (i) a reduction of 340 basis points ($37.7 million), attributable to non-cash valuation amortization charges as a result of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition; and (ii) an increase of 530 basis points over the prior year, primarily due to the effect of the following items:

·

An increase due to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, as Tommy Hilfiger has a large international presence, and international businesses typically have higher gross margin percentages than domestic businesses. In addition, the majority of Tommy Hilfiger’s North America operations are comprised of its retail business and retail businesses typically have higher gross margin percentages than wholesale businesses.

·

More full-priced selling in our Heritage Brand and Calvin Klein businesses during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior year’s second quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2010 increased $310.3 million to $524.6 million, or to 47.6% of total revenue, from $214.3 million, or 40.5% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. Included in the 710 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue over the prior year are $33.7 million, or 310 basis points, of transaction, restructuring and non-cash valuation amortization charges in connection with our acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger. The non-cash valuation amortization charges relate to acquired order backlog and have an amortization period of six months. The remaining 400 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue is principally attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger business, as Tommy Hilfiger has a large international presence and international businesses typically have higher SG&A expense percentages than domestic businesses. In addition, the majority of Tommy Hilfig er’s North America operations are comprised of its retail business and retail businesses typically have higher SG&A expense percentages than wholesale businesses. Also

28

---

contributing to the SG&A expense percentage increase, to a lesser extent, is an increase in advertising expenses related to our Calvin Klein and heritage brands over the prior year.

Debt Extinguishment

We incurred a loss of $6.7 million during the second quarter of 2010 on the extinguishment of our 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and our 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013. Please refer to the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of the tender for, and redemption of, these notes.

Other Loss

We entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to purchase €1.3 billion during the first quarter of 2010 and entered into an additional foreign currency forward exchange contract to purchase €250.0 million during the second quarter of 2010. These contracts were entered into in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger to hedge against our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as a portion of the acquisition purchase price was payable in cash and denominated in Euros. We settled the foreign currency forward exchange contracts on May 6, 2010 in connection with our completion of the acquisition. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $88.1 million during the second quarter of 2010 related to these contracts.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense increased to $39.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $8.4 million in the second quarter of the prior year principally as a result of the issuance during the second quarter of 2010 of $600.0 million of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020 and term loans of $1.9 billion borrowed under new credit facilities, the net proceeds of which were used in connection with the purchase of Tommy Hilfiger. We subsequently made a $100.0 million voluntary debt repayment on the term loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Interest income of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 was relatively flat to the prior year’s second quarter amount of $0.4 million.

Income Taxes

The income tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 34.5% compared with last year’s second quarter rate of 38.9%. The decrease was due primarily to the impact of the non-deductibility of certain transaction costs associated with the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. Non-deductible expenses cause the effective tax rate to decrease when there is a pre-tax loss, as was the case in the second quarter of 2010.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 1, 2010 Compared With Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 2009

Net Sales

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 increased to $1,542.1 million as compared to $933.2 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The increase of $609.0 million was due principally to the effect of the following items:

·

The addition of $256.1 million and $263.3 million of net sales attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger early in the second quarter of 2010.

·

The addition of $25.8 million of net sales, principally in the first quarter of the current year, attributable to growth in our Heritage Brand Wholesale Dress Furnishings and Heritage Brand Sportswear segments resulting from better performance across the majority of our heritage brands, with Van Heusen performing particularly well.

·

The addition of $21.6 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Heritage Brand Retail segment. This was primarily driven by an overall comparable store sales increase of 11%.

·

The addition of $39.7 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Other (Calvin Klein Apparel) segment, which is comprised of our Calvin Klein dress furnishings, sportswear and outlet retail divisions. Comparable store sales in our Calvin Klein retail business increased 15%.

29

---

We currently estimate that our 2010 full year net sales will increase to a range of approximately $4.05 billion to $4.08 billion from $2.07 billion in the prior year, due primarily to the addition of net sales of approximately $1.77 billion to $1.79 billion from Tommy Hilfiger. Net sales in our Heritage Brand and Calvin Klein businesses are currently projected to increase 10% to 11% as compared to the prior year. Comparable store sales in our Heritage Brand and Calvin Klein retail businesses are currently projected to grow approximately 7% to 8% on a combined basis.

Royalty, Advertising and Other Revenue

Royalty, advertising and other revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was $180.2 million as compared to $153.6 million in the prior year’s twenty-six week period. Of the overall $26.6 million increase over the prior year, $12.7 million was attributable to Tommy Hilfiger. Within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, global licensee royalty revenue increased $11.3 million, or 11% as compared to the prior year’s twenty-six week period, due primarily to strong performance in fragrance, jeans, underwear, women’s sportswear and dresses.

We currently expect that total royalty, advertising and other revenue for the full year will increase to a range of approximately $385.0 million to $390.0 million for 2010 from $328.0 million in 2009. This increase is due principally to the addition of royalty revenue, beginning with the second quarter of 2010, attributable to the addition of Tommy Hilfiger, combined with growth within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, as Calvin Klein royalty revenue is expected to increase 8% to 9% (9% to 10% on a constant currency basis) for the full year 2010.

Gross Profit on Total Revenue

Gross profit on total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was $892.3 million, or 51.8% of total revenue, compared with $537.6 million, or 49.5% of total revenue in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. Included in the 230 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue over the prior year period is (i) a reduction of 220 basis points ($37.7 million), attributable to non-cash valuation amortization charges as a result of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition; and (ii) an increase of 450 basis points over the prior year’s twenty-six week period, primarily due to the effect of the following items:

·

An increase due to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, as Tommy Hilfiger has a large international presence and international businesses typically have higher gross margin percentages than domestic businesses. In addition, the majority of Tommy Hilfiger’s North America operations are comprised of its retail business and retail businesses typically have higher gross margin percentages than wholesale businesses.

·

More full-priced selling in our Heritage Brand and Calvin Klein businesses during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 as compared to the prior year’s twenty-six week period.

We currently expect that the gross profit on total revenue percentage will increase significantly for the full year 2010 compared to the 2009 full year percentage of 49.3% due primarily to (i) the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, for the factors described immediately above; and (ii) more full-priced selling in our Heritage Brand and Calvin Klein businesses in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 increased $374.8 million to $811.8 million, or to 47.1% of total revenue, from $437.0 million, or 40.2% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. Included in the 690 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue over the prior year period are $85.3 million, or 500 basis points, of transaction, restructuring and non-cash valuation amortization charges in connection with our acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger. The non-cash valuation amortization charges relate to acquired order backlog and have an amortization period of six months. The remaining 190 basis point increase is principally attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger business, as Tommy Hilfiger has a large international presence and international businesses typically have higher SG&A expense percentages than domestic businesses. In addition, the majority of Tommy Hilfiger’s North A merica operations are comprised of its retail businesses and retail businesses typically have higher SG&A expense percentages than wholesale businesses. Also contributing to the SG&A expense percentage increase, to a lesser extent, is an increase in advertising expenses related to our Calvin Klein and heritage brands over the prior year.

30

---

Our full year 2010 SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue is expected to increase significantly compared to the 2009 full year percentage of 39.1% principally as a result of one-time costs expected to be incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Tommy Hilfiger, as well as the other factors associated with the Tommy Hilfiger business described immediately above.

Debt Extinguishment

We incurred a loss of $6.7 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 on the extinguishment of our 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and our 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013. Please refer to the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of the tender for, and redemption of, these notes.

Other Loss

We entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to purchase €1.3 billion during the first quarter of 2010, and entered into an additional foreign currency forward exchange contract to purchase €250.0 million during the second quarter of 2010. These contracts were entered into in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger to hedge against our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as a portion of the acquisition purchase price was payable in cash and denominated in Euros. We settled the foreign currency forward exchange contracts on May 6, 2010 in connection with our completion of the acquisition. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $140.5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 related to these contracts.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense increased to $48.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 from $16.7 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year principally as a result of the issuance during the second quarter of 2010 of $600.0 million of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020 and term loans of $1.9 billion borrowed under new credit facilities, the net proceeds of which were used in connection with the purchase of Tommy Hilfiger. We made a $100.0 million voluntary debt repayment on the term loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Interest income of $0.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was relatively flat to the prior year’s twenty-six week period amount of $0.9 million.

Net interest expense for the full year 2010 is expected to increase to a range of $130.0 million to $132.0 million from $32.2 million in the prior year principally as a result of the issuance during the second quarter of 2010 of $600.0 million of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020 and term loans of $1.9 billion borrowed under new credit facilities, the proceeds of which were used in connection with the purchase of Tommy Hilfiger. We made a $100.0 million voluntary debt repayment on the term loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010 and we currently plan on making approximately $300 million of additional repayments at the end of 2010. (Please refer to the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a further discussion.)

Income Taxes

The income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 was 28.0% compared with last year’s twenty-six week period rate of 39.5%. The decrease was due primarily to the impact of the non-deductibility of certain transaction costs associated with the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. Non-deductible expenses cause the effective tax rate to decrease when there is a pre-tax loss, as was the case in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010.

We currently anticipate that our 2010 income tax rate will be between 55.0% and 56.0%, which compares with last year’s full year rate of 23.5%. The non-deductibility of certain transaction expenses in 2010, which decreased our effective tax rate during the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 when we experienced pre-tax losses, will increase our effective tax rate for the full year if we achieve pre-tax income, as is currently expected. Partially offsetting the impact of the non-deductible transaction expenses is the favorable impact from the expected earnings from our international Tommy Hilfiger business, a significant portion of which is subject to favorable tax rates, and which earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. It is possible that our estimated full year tax rate could change from the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, or from discrete events arising from specific transactions, audits by tax authorities or the receip t of new information.

The 2009 full year tax rate was favorably impacted by a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service relating to the audit of our Federal income tax returns for 2006 and 2007 and the effect of the lapse of the statute of limitations with respect to certain previously unrecognized tax positions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations

Cash provided by operating activities was $101.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, which compares with $80.9 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The factors that affect our cash provided by operating activities have been significantly impacted by the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. In the future, we expect that our cash provided by operating activities will generally increase by a significant amount as a result of the acquisition. The increase in the cash generated by operating activities will generally be used to pay down debt, as well as to fund additional capital spending needs due to the expansion of our businesses, most notably the Tommy Hilfiger business. In addition, the changes in the amount of cash provided and used related to our working capital will be more pronounced as a result of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures paid in cash in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 were $29.0 million. We currently expect that capital expenditures will increase for the full year 2010 as a result of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition and will be approximately $135 million. This compares to capital expenditures paid in cash for the full year 2009 of $23.9 million.

Contingent Purchase Price Payments

In connection with the acquisition of Calvin Klein, we are obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the agreement (as amended) governing the Calvin Klein acquisition, of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other partners to retailers. Such contingent purchase price payments totaled $21.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. We currently expect that such payments will be $41.0 million to $43.0 million for the full year 2010.

Tommy Hilfiger Acquisition

We paid $2,483.3 million in cash and issued 8.0 million shares of our common stock, valued at $486.0 million, as consideration for the acquisition, for total consideration of approximately $3.0 billion. In addition, we entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to purchase €1.3 billion during the first quarter of 2010 and €250.0 million during the second quarter of 2010 in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger to hedge against our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro, as a portion of the acquisition purchase price was payable in cash and denominated in Euros. We settled the foreign currency forward exchange contracts at a loss of $140.5 million on May 6, 2010 in connection with the completion of the acquisition.

We funded the cash portion and related costs of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition with cash on hand and the net proceeds of the following activities: (i) the sale on April 28, 2010 of 5.8 million shares of our common stock; (ii) the issuances of an aggregate of 8,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200.0 million; (iii) the issuance of $600.0 million of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020; and (iv) the borrowing of $1.9 billion of term loans under new credit facilities. See the discussion below for further detail on these activities.

Tommy Hilfiger Handbag License Acquisition

On June 14, 2010, we entered into an agreement to reacquire from a licensee, prior to the expiration of the license, the rights to distribute Tommy Hilfiger branded handbags internationally. The effective date of the transfer of the rights is December 31, 2010. In connection with this transaction, we made a payment of $7.3 million to the licensee during the second quarter of 2010.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 6, 2010, we sold an aggregate of 8,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200.0 million. We received net proceeds of $188.6 million in connection with this issuance, which were used in the second quarter of 2010 to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. The Series A convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is currently convertible at a price of $47.74 into 4.2 million shares of common stock. The conversion

price is subject to equitable adjustment in the event of us taking certain actions, including stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, consolidations or other capital reorganizations. The Series A convertible preferred stock is not redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option or that of any holder. The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote and participate in dividends with the holders of our common stock on an as-converted basis.

Common Stock Offering

We sold 5.8 million shares of our common stock on April 28, 2010 for an offering price of $66.50 per share before commissions and discounts to underwriters. We received net proceeds of $364.9 million in connection with this common stock offering, which were used in the second quarter of 2010 to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition.

Dividends

Our common stock currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share. Our Series A convertible preferred stock participates in common stock dividends on an as-converted basis. Common stock dividends totaled $4.7 million in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010.

We project that cash common stock dividends in 2010 will be $10.0 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common and preferred stock outstanding at August 1, 2010 and our estimates of common stock to be issued in 2010 under our stock incentive plans.

Financing Arrangements

Our capital structure as of August 1, 2010 was as follows:

(in millions)

Short-term borrowings	$         4.6
Long-term debt	$  2,491.6
Stockholders’ equity	$  2,195.6

In addition, we had $475.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as of August 1, 2010.

Tender for and Redemption of 2011 Notes and 2013 Notes

We commenced tender offers on April 7, 2010 for (i) all of the $150.0 million outstanding principal amount of our notes due 2011; and (ii) all of the $150.0 million outstanding principal amount of our notes due 2013. The tender offers expired on May 4, 2010. On May 6, 2010, we accepted for purchase all of the notes tendered and made payment to tendering holders and called for redemption all of the balance of our outstanding 7 1/4% senior notes due 2011 and all of the balance of our outstanding 8 1/8% senior notes due 2013. The redemption prices of the notes due 2011 and 2013 were 100.000% and 101.354%, respectively, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the applicable note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. As of May 6, 2010, we made an irrevocable cash deposit, including accrued and unpaid interest, to the trustee for the notes due 2011 and 2013. As a result, such indentures have been satisfied and effectively discharged as of May 6, 2010.

7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2020

Our $600.0 million 7 3/8% senior notes, which we issued on May 6, 2010 under an indenture dated as of May 6, 2010, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, are due May 15, 2020. Interest on the 7 3/8% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2010.

We may redeem some or all of these notes on or after May 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to May 15, 2015 by paying a “make whole” premium. In addition, we may also redeem up to 35% of these notes prior to May 15, 2013 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Our new senior secured credit facility, which we entered into on May 6, 2010, consists of a Euro-denominated term loan A facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, a Euro-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and two multi-currency (one United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and the other Euro, Yen and Pound) revolving credit facilities. We borrowed $1.9 billion of term loans on May 6, 2010 and made a voluntary repayment of $100.0 million on these term loans during the second quarter of 2010. As of August 1, 2010, we had an aggregate of $1.8 billion of borrowings under the term loan facilities outstanding (based on the applicable exchange rates in effect on August 1, 2010). These new credit facilities provide for approximately $450 million of revolving credit facilities (based on the applicable exchange rates in effect on August 1, 2010), for which we had no revolving credit borrowings and $195.8 million of letters of credit outstanding as of August 1, 2010. The terms of each of the term loan A and B facilities contain a mandatory repayment schedule on a quarterly basis, such that the total annual repayments are as follows:

	Term Loan
	A		B
Originally borrowed on May 6, 2010, based on the applicable exchange rate at that date	$494,970		$1,384,910
Percentage required to be repaid for the annual period ending May 6:
2011	5%		1%
2012	10%		1%
2013	15%		1%
2014	25%		1%
2015	45%		1%
2016	-		95%

We currently plan on making approximately $300 million of additional repayments on these term loans at the end of 2010.

Additionally, in the event there is consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the agreement, for any fiscal year, we are required to prepay a percentage of such amount based on our Leverage Ratio, as calculated in accordance with the agreement. Such amount will be reduced by any repayments made during the preceding fiscal year.

All repayments made under the facilities are applied on a pro rata basis, determined by the amounts then outstanding under each of the United States dollar and Euro tranches of term loans A and B. In addition, we have the ability to prepay at any time the outstanding borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility without penalty (other than customary breakage costs).

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1% (provided, that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the base rate be deemed to be less than 2.75%); or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility (provided, that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%).

Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the average of the rates of interest per annum equal to the per annum rate of interest quoted, published and commonly known in Canada as the “prime rate” or which Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such screen is not available, any successor or similar service as may be select ed by the administrative agent), and (y) 1%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility.

34

---

The borrowings under the senior secured credit facility in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the senior secured credit facility (provided that, in the case of the term loan A and B facilities, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%).

The initial applicable margins will be (a) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility and the United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for base rate loans, as applicable, (b) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan A facility and the Euro-denominated term loan B facility, 3.25% and (c) in the case of the revolving credit facilities, (x) for borrowings denominated in United States dollars, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for base rate loans, as applicable, (y) for borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, 3.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 2.00% for Canadian prime rate loans, as applicable, and (z) for borrowings denominated in other currencies, 3.25%. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to our period ending January 30, 2011, the applicable margin for borrowings under the te rm loan A facilities and the revolving credit facilities will be adjusted depending on our leverage ratio.

Our senior secured credit facility contains covenants that restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs, to take advantage of other business opportunities that may be in our interest or to satisfy our obligations under our other outstanding debt. These covenants restrict our ability to, among other things:

·

incur or guarantee additional debt or extend credit;

·

pay dividends or make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, our capital stock or certain other debt;

·

make other restricted payments, including investments;

·

dispose of assets;

·

engage in transactions with affiliates;

·

enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;

·

create liens on our assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and

·

effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, our senior secured credit facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including maximum leverage, minimum interest coverage and maximum capital expenditures. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under our senior secured credit facility. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under our senior secured credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable which would result in acceleration of our other debt. If we were unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the senior secured credit facility lenders could proceed against their collateral, which also secures some of our other indebtedness.

We are also subject to similar covenants and restrictions in connection with our long-term debt agreements.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual cash obligations reflected in the contractual obligations table included in Part I, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 have materially changed as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger.

Our contractual cash obligations increased for principal and interest payments on the new debt issued in connection with financing the acquisition. Please refer to the discussion above in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a description of new debt obligations that were incurred in connection with financing the acquisition. As a result of Tommy Hilfiger’s large number of company-operated retail, office and warehouse locations worldwide, our contractual obligations have also increased for Tommy Hilfiger’s retail store, warehouse, showroom, office and equipment leases. We have increased our inventory purchase commitments and have also incurred severance payment obligations in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. In addition, as a result of the acquisition

35

of Tommy Hilfiger, we have for certain members of Tommy Hilfiger’s senior management an unfunded non-qualified defined benefit pension plan.

SEASONALITY

Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales and income in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales and income in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season.

Due to the above factors, our operating results for the twenty-six week period ended August 1, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us include cash equivalents, short and long-term debt and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” included in Part I, Item 1 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of August 1, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Therefore, a change in short-term interest rates would have an impact on our interest income. Due to the currently low rates of return we are receiving on our investments, the impact of a further decrease in short-term interest rates would not have a material impact on our interest income, while an increase in short-term interest rates could have a more material impact. Given our average balance of cash and cash equivalents during the first half of 2010, the effect of a 10 basis point increase in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $0.5 million annually. During the second quarter of 2010, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility, which consists of a Euro-denominated term loan A facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, a Euro-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and two multi-currency (one United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and the other Euro, Yen and Pound) revolving credit facilities. Due to the fact that, effective with the second quarter of 2010, certain of our debt is denominated in foreign currency, our interest expense in the future will be impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate, each of which is determined based on the jurisdiction of such borrowings. As such, effective with the second quarter of 2010, our new credit facilities expose us to market risk for changes in interest rates.

Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates has increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, as the Tommy Hilfiger business has a substantial international component. Accordingly, the impact of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the Euro, the Yen and the Canadian dollar, will have a significantly larger negative impact on our results of operations than prior to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. Our Tommy Hilfiger business purchases the majority of the products that it sells in United States dollars, which exposes the international Tommy Hilfiger business to foreign exchange risk as the United States dollar fluctuates. As such, we currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with United States dollar denominated purchases by the Tommy Hilfiger business.

We are also exposed to market risk for changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar in connection with our licensing businesses, particularly our Calvin Klein businesses. Most of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensee’s local currency but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. In addition, certain of our other foreign license agreements expose us to exchange rate changes up to the date we collect payment or convert local currency payments into United States dollars. As a result, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be adversely impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief E xecutive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

The risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 have materially changed as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. The risk factors that have been modified or added are set forth below.

Our level of debt could impair our financial condition.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, we borrowed term loans (of which $1.8 billion in principal amount is currently outstanding) under our senior secured credit facility and issued $600 million in high-yield notes. We also have $100 million of secured debentures outstanding. Our level of debt could have important consequences to investors, including:

·

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations be used for the payment of interest on our debt, thereby reducing the funds available to us for our operations or other capital needs;

·

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate because our available cash flow after paying principal and interest on our debt may not be sufficient to make the capital and other expenditures necessary to address these changes;

·

increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions because, during periods in which we experience lower earnings and cash flow, we will be required to devote a proportionally greater amount of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our debt;

·

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 fund working capital, capital expenditures, contributions to pension plans and general corporate requirements; and

·

with respect to any borrowings we make at variable interest rates, including under our revolving credit facility, leaving us vulnerable to increases in interest rates generally.

 

A substantial portion of our revenue and gross profit is derived from a small number of large customers and the loss of any of these customers could substantially reduce our revenue.

A few of our customers, including Macy’s, Inc., J.C. Penney Company, Inc., Kohl’s Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., account for significant portions of our revenue. Sales to our five largest customers were 31% of our revenue in 2009, 32% of our revenue in 2008 and 30% of our revenue in 2007. Macy’s, our largest customer, accounted for 12% of our revenue in 2009, 12% of our revenue in 2008 and 10% of our revenue in 2007.

Tommy Hilfiger is party to a strategic alliance with Macy’s providing for the exclusive wholesale distribution in the United States of most men’s, women’s, women’s plus-size and children’s sportswear under the Tommy Hilfiger brand. The initial term of the agreement with Macy’s ends on January 30, 2011 and is renewable at the option of Macy’s for up to three renewal terms of three years, for a total possible term of approximately 12 years. Macy’s has notified Tommy Hilfiger of its desire to renew the agreement for a second three-year term and the parties are currently in discussion about expanding the scope of the agreement. Discussions are expected to be concluded shortly and an extension executed, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Prior to our acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, Macy’s represented approximately 14% of Tommy Hilfiger’s North America revenue and 6% of its total reven ue. As a result of this strategic alliance, the success of Tommy Hilfiger’s North American wholesale business is substantially dependent on this relationship and on Macy’s ability to maintain and increase sales of Tommy Hilfiger products. Upon the expiration of the initial term of the Macy’s agreement and each subsequent three-year term, Macy’s may be unwilling to renew the Macy’s agreement on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, our and Tommy Hilfiger’s United States wholesale businesses may be affected by any operational or financial difficulties that Macy’s experiences, including any deterioration in Macy’s overall ability to attract customer traffic or in its overall liquidity position.

38

---

Other than Tommy Hilfiger’s strategic alliance with Macy’s, we do not have long-term agreements with any of our customers and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis. A decision by any of our major customers, whether motivated by marketing strategy, competitive conditions, financial difficulties 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, could substantially reduce our revenue and materially adversely affect our profitability. During the past several years, the retail industry has experienced a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes and we expect such changes to be ongoing. In addition, store closings by our customers decrease the number of stores carrying our apparel products, while the remaining stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and may red uce the retail floor space designated for our brands. In the future, retailers may further consolidate, undergo restructurings or reorganizations, realign their affiliations or reposition their stores’ target markets. Any of these types of actions could decrease the number of stores that carry our products or increase the ownership concentration within the retail industry. These changes could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of large customers and 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 Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses in terms of revenue and profitability.

A significant portion of our business strategy involves growing our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses. Our realization of revenue and profitability growth from Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger will depend largely upon our ability to:

·

continue to maintain and enhance the distinctive brand identity of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands;

·

continue to maintain good working relationships with Calvin Klein’s and Tommy Hilfiger’s licensees;

·

continue to enter into new (or renew or extend existing) licensing agreements for the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands, both domestically and internationally; and

·

continue to strengthen and expand the Tommy Hilfiger North American business.

We cannot assure you that we can successfully execute any of these actions or our growth strategy for these brands, 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 successfully carry out our growth strategy may be affected by, among other things, our ability to enhance our relationships with existing customers to obtain additional selling space and/or add additional product lines, our ability to develop new relationships with retailers, economic and competitive conditions, changes in consumer spending patterns and changes in consumer tastes and style trends. If we fail to continue to develop and grow either the Calvin Klein or Tommy Hilfiger business in terms of revenue and profitability, our financial condition and results of operations may be materia lly and adversely affected.

The success of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger depends on the value of our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger 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 Calvin Klein name is integral to the existing Calvin Klein business, as well as to our strategies for continuing to grow and expand Calvin Klein. The Calvin Klein brands could be adversely affected if Mr. Klein’s public image or reputation were to be tarnished. We have similar exposure with respect to the Tommy Hilfiger brands. Mr. Hilfiger is closely identified with the Tommy Hilfiger brand and any negative perception with respect to Mr. Hilfiger could adversely affect the Tommy Hilfiger brand. In addition, under Mr. Hilfiger’s employment agreement, if his employment is terminated for any reason, his agreement not to compete with Tommy Hilfiger 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 busine ss could adversely affect Tommy Hilfiger.

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates has increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, as the Tommy Hilfiger business has a substantial international component. Accordingly, the impact of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the Euro, the Yen and the

39

---

Canadian dollar, will have a significantly larger negative impact on our results of operations than prior to the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger. Our Tommy Hilfiger business purchases the majority of the products that it sells in United States dollars, which exposes the international Tommy Hilfiger business to foreign exchange risk as the United States dollar fluctuates. As such, we currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with United States dollar denominated purchases by the Tommy Hilfiger business.

We are also exposed to market risk for changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar in connection with our licensing businesses, particularly our Calvin Klein businesses. Most of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensee’s local currency but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. In addition, certain of our other foreign license agreements expose us to exchange rate changes up to the date we collect payment or convert local currency payments into United States dollars. As a result, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be adversely impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted.

We have licensed businesses in countries that are or have been subject to exchange rate control regulations and have, as a result, experienced difficulties in receiving payments owed to us when due, with amounts left unpaid for extended periods of time. Although the amounts to date have been immaterial to us, as our international businesses grow and if controls are enacted or enforced in additional countries, there can be no assurance that such controls would not have a material and adverse affect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations.

 

All of our apparel and footwear products, excluding handmade and handfinished neckwear, are produced by and purchased or procured from independent manufacturers located in countries in Europe, the Far East, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, South America, the Caribbean and Central America. We believe that we are one of the largest users of shirting fabric in the world. Although no single supplier or country is expected to be 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 in countries where contractors and suppliers are located;

·

political or military conflict involving the United States, which could cause a delay in the transportation of our products and raw materials to us and an increase in 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 impoundment 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;

·

a significant decrease in availability or increase in cost of raw materials or the inability to use raw materials produced in a country that is a major provider due to political, human rights, labor, environmental, animal cruelty or other concerns;

·

disease epidemics and health-related concerns, which could result in 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;

·

imposition of regulations, quotas and safeguards 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;

·

imposition of duties, taxes and other charges on imports;

·

significant fluctuation of the value of the United States dollar against foreign currencies; and

·

restrictions on transfers of funds out of countries where our foreign licensees are located.

 

Tommy Hilfiger is dependent on third parties to source its products and any disruption in the relationship with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our Tommy Hilfiger business.

 

Our Tommy Hilfiger business uses third parties to source the majority of its products from manufacturers. Prior to our acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, Tommy Hilfiger outsourced approximately 81% of its sourcing functions to external buying offices. Tommy Hilfiger is a party to a non-exclusive buying agency agreement with Li & Fung Limited to carry out most of its sourcing work. Li & Fung is one of the world’s largest buying agencies for apparel and related goods and is Tommy Hilfiger’s largest buying office. Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to use Li & Fung for at least 54% of Tommy Hilfiger’s global sourcing needs. The buying agency agreement with Li & Fung is terminable by us upon 12 months’ prior notice for any reason, and is terminable by either party (i) upon six months’ prior notice in the event of a material breach by the other party and (ii) immediately upon the occurr ence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events relating to the other party. Tommy Hilfiger also uses other third-party buying offices for a portion of its sourcing and has retained a small in-house sourcing team. Any interruption in the operations of Li & Fung or Tommy Hilfiger’s other buying offices, or the failure of Li & Fung or Tommy Hilfiger’s other buying offices to perform effectively their services for Tommy Hilfiger, could result in material delays, reductions of shipments and increased costs. Furthermore, such events could harm Tommy Hilfiger’s wholesale and retail relationships. Although alternative sourcing companies exist, we may be unable to source Tommy Hilfiger products through other third parties, if at all, on terms commercially acceptable to us and on a timely basis. Any disruption in Tommy Hilfiger’s relationship with its buying offices or their businesses, particularly Li & Fung, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows , business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our revenue is dependent on royalties and licensing.

Royalty, advertising and other revenue from Calvin Klein’s three largest licensing partners accounted for approximately 67% of its royalty, advertising and other revenue in 2009. Prior to our acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, royalty, advertising and other revenue from Tommy Hilfiger’s three largest licensing partners accounted for approximately 35% of its royalty, advertising and other revenue. We also derive licensing revenue from our Van Heusen, IZOD, Bass, G.H. Bass & Co. and ARROW brand names, as well as from the sublicensing of Geoffrey Beene. The operating profit associated with our royalty, advertising and other revenue 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 licensing partner, whether due to the termination or expiration of the relationship, the cessation of the licensi ng partner’s operations or otherwise (including as a result of financial difficulties of the partner), without an equivalent replacement, could materially affect our profitability.

 

While we generally have significant control over our licensing partners’ products and advertising, we rely on our licensing partners for, among other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses. Our licensing partners’ failure to successfully market licensed products or our inability to replace our existing licensing partners could materially and adversely affect our revenue both directly from reduced royalty and advertising and other revenue received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products. Risks are also associated with our licensing partners’ ability to obtain capital; execute their business plans, including timely delivery of quality products; manage their labor relations; maintain relationships with their suppliers; manage their credit risk effectively; and maintain relationships with their customers.

Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits and synergies.

 

One component of our growth strategy contemplates our making select acquisitions if appropriate opportunities arise. Prior to completing any acquisition, our management team identifies expected synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities. However, these benefits may not be realized due to, among other things:

·

delays or difficulties in completing the integration of acquired companies or assets;

·

higher than expected costs, lower than expected cost savings and/or a need to allocate resources to manage unexpected operating difficulties;

·

diversion of the attention and resources of management;

41

·

consumers’ failure to accept product offerings by us or our licensees;

·

inability to retain key employees in acquired companies; and

·

assumption of liabilities unrecognized in due diligence.

 

A significant shift in the relative sources of our earnings, 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.

 

With the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger, we now have direct operations in a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong and China, and the applicable statutory tax rates vary by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate could be materially affected by the relative level of earnings in the various taxing jurisdictions to which our earnings are subject. In addition, the tax laws and regulations in the various countries in which we operate may be subject to change and there may be changes in interpretation and enforcement of tax law. As a result, we may face increases in taxes payable if tax rates increase, or if tax laws, regulations or treaties in the jurisdictions in which we operate are modified by the competent authorities in an adverse manner.

 

In addition, various national and local taxing authorities periodically examine us and our subsidiaries. The resolution of an examination or audit may result in us making a payment in an amount that differs from the amount for which we may have reserved with respect to any 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 a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s length terms and that proper transfer pricing documentation is in place which should be respected for tax purposes, the transfer prices and conditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities, which could result in additional tax becoming due.

 

If Tommy Hilfiger were unable to fully utilize its deferred tax assets, its profitability could be reduced.

Tommy Hilfiger has substantial deferred income tax assets on its balance sheet. This includes tax loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in the United States and the Netherlands. Our ability to utilize these assets depends on a number of factors, including whether there will be adequate levels of taxable income in future periods to offset the tax loss carryforwards before they expire. Also, United States tax rules impose an annual limit on the amount of certain loss carryovers of Tommy Hilfiger that we can use following the acquisition, and, depending on our taxable income in tax years following the acquisition, such limit may be material. These factors could reduce the value of the deferred tax assets, which could have a material effect on our profitability.
