PVH CORP. REPORTS 2012 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

FIRST QUARTER REVENUE OF $1.427 BILLION AND NON-GAAP EPS OF $1.30 EXCEED GUIDANCE; GAAP EPS OF $1.27
RESULTS DRIVEN BY CONTINUED MOMENTUM IN CALVIN KLEIN AND TOMMY HILFIGER BUSINESSES
FULL-YEAR NON-GAAP EPS GUIDANCE RAISED TO $6.15 TO $6.25, AN INCREASE OF 14% TO 16% OVER THE PRIOR YEAR’S NON-GAAP EPS
SECOND QUARTER NON-GAAP EPS GUIDANCE OF $1.18 TO $1.20, AN INCREASE OF 10% TO 12% OVER THE PRIOR YEAR’S NON-GAAP EPS

New York, New York – PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] reported 2012 first quarter results.

Non-GAAP Amounts:
The discussions of historical results in this release that refer to non-GAAP amounts exclude the items which are described in this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions.” Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts are presented later in this release and identify and quantify all excluded items.

Overview of First Quarter Results:
Earnings per share was $1.30 on a non-GAAP basis, which exceeded the Company’s guidance and represents an increase of 6% over the prior year’s first quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.23.
GAAP earnings per share was $1.27 and represents an increase of 61% over the prior

1


year’s first quarter GAAP earnings per share of $0.79.
Revenue of $1.427 billion increased 4% from the prior year’s first quarter, including the negative impact of approximately 1% attributable to approximately $20 million of foreign currency translation. The revenue increase of $58.2 million is attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase of $54.9 million, or 8%, in the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger business (which includes the negative impact of approximately 3% attributable to the foreign currency translation discussed above); (ii) an increase of $16.5 million, or 7%, in the Company’s Calvin Klein business; and (iii) a decrease of $13.2 million, or 3%, in the Company’s Heritage Brands business.

First Quarter Business Review:
Calvin Klein
Total revenue for the Calvin Klein business increased 7% over the prior year’s first quarter to $262.1 million. This increase reflected comparable store sales growth of 9% and equally strong growth in the wholesale business. Despite challenging business for the jeanswear and underwear product categories in Europe and a planned reduction in U.S. jeanswear sold to secondary channels, Calvin Klein royalty revenue increased 1%, including the negative impact of approximately 1% related to foreign currency translation. On a constant currency basis, royalty revenue increased 2%, driven by strong growth in North America, South America and Asia, partially offset by weakness in Europe.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the Calvin Klein business increased 5% to $58.3 million as compared to the prior year’s first quarter amount of $55.6 million. The Calvin Klein Licensing business benefited from a planned decrease in advertising expenses, as the prior year’s first quarter included expenses related to the launch of the global marketing campaign for the ck one lifestyle brand. Within the Calvin Klein apparel business, strong revenue growth, which included higher average unit retail selling prices, was more than offset by a planned decrease in gross margin rates resulting from higher product costs.

Tommy Hilfiger
The Tommy Hilfiger business continued its strong momentum during the quarter, achieving an 8% increase in revenue over 2011 first quarter revenue to reach $770.4 million, including the negative impact of approximately $20 million, or 3%, related to foreign currency

2


translation. The strong revenue increase was due to (i) retail comparable store sales growth of 16% in North America; and (ii) European retail comparable store sales growth of 5% and high single-digit growth in the European wholesale business, despite challenging economic conditions.

On a non-GAAP basis, earnings before interest and taxes for the Tommy Hilfiger business increased 13% to $102.8 million from $90.7 million in the prior year’s first quarter. Driving this increase were the revenue increases discussed above combined with higher gross margins. The improvement in gross margin rates was driven by a significant increase in average unit retail selling prices, which more than offset planned higher product costs. These increases were offset, in part, by an increase in advertising expenses in the Tommy Hilfiger International business related to the opening of two new flagship stores in Japan.

On a GAAP basis, earnings before interest and taxes for the Tommy Hilfiger business increased 53% to $102.4 million, as compared to $66.8 million in the prior year’s first quarter. This increase was due principally to the net impact of the revenue and gross margin increases noted above, combined with a net decrease in integration and restructuring charges.

Heritage Brands
Total revenue for the Heritage Brands business decreased 3% to $394.9 million versus $408.1 million in the prior year’s first quarter. Retail comparable store sales growth of 3% was more than offset by a planned combined 6% decrease in the wholesale businesses.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the Heritage Brands business decreased to $17.7 million from $39.4 million in the prior year’s first quarter due principally to the revenue decrease mentioned above, combined with planned lower gross margin rates driven by higher product costs, and a $3 million quarter-on-quarter negative impact associated with a quality issue in a specific private label program for the dress furnishings business.

First Quarter Consolidated Earnings:
On a non-GAAP basis, earnings before interest and taxes decreased to $155.6 million from $167.1 million in the prior year’s first quarter, including the negative impact of

3


approximately $5 million related to foreign currency translation attributable to the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses. The overall 7% decrease in non-GAAP earnings before interest and taxes was driven by a $21.7 million decrease in the Heritage Brands business and a $4.7 million increase in corporate expenses due principally to an increase in pension expense resulting from a decrease in discount rates. These decreases were partially offset by earnings increases of $12.1 million and $2.7 million in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses, respectively, including the negative foreign currency impact noted above.

On a GAAP basis, earnings before interest and taxes increased to $152.2 million as compared to $120.4 million in the prior year’s first quarter. The increase was due principally to a decrease in integration, restructuring and debt modification charges, partially offset by the net effect of the changes discussed above.

Net interest expense decreased $3.8 million as compared to the prior year’s first quarter to $29.2 million, due principally to lower debt levels in the current quarter.  

The effective tax rate was 24.4% on a non-GAAP basis as compared to 33.2% on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year’s first quarter. The effective tax rate was 24.3% on a GAAP basis, as compared to 34.0% on a GAAP basis in the prior year’s first quarter. The 2012 first quarter effective tax rates are being positively impacted by a greater portion of the Company’s earnings being generated by the international Tommy Hilfiger business, a significant portion of which is subject to favorable tax rates, as well as the continuation of the tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition.

Balance Sheet:
The Company ended the quarter with a net debt position of $1.743 billion, comprised of $1.982 billion of debt, net of $238.6 million of cash. During the first quarter, the Company made payments totaling $30.3 million on its outstanding term loans for a total of approximately $730 million in term loan payments since the date of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, the majority of which were voluntary and ahead of schedule. The Company plans to make term loan payments of approximately $270 million during the remainder of 2012.

4



Ending inventories increased 7% over the prior year’s first quarter, due principally to increased product costs. The Company remains very comfortable with the quality of its inventory.

2012 Guidance:
Please see the section entitled “Full Year and Second Quarter Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” at the end of this release for further detail and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts discussed in this section.

Full Year Guidance
Revenue in 2012 is currently projected to increase 1% to 2% as compared to the 2011 amount of $5.891 billion. This includes the negative revenue impact of approximately 4%, of which approximately $150 million is attributable to projected foreign currency translation and approximately $100 million is attributable to the exit from the Timberland and Izod women’s wholesale sportswear businesses. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the exited businesses, 2012 revenue is projected to increase 5% to 6%.

Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to increase 2% to 3% as compared to the 2011 amount of $3.051 billion, including the negative impact of approximately 5% due to projected foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to grow 6% to 7% as compared to the 2011 amount of $1.065 billion. Calvin Klein royalty revenue is expected to be negatively impacted by foreign currency translation, the upcoming reacquisition of the ck Calvin Klein European apparel and accessories licenses, challenging business for the jeanswear and underwear product categories in Europe and a reduction of U.S. jeanswear sales to secondary channels. Revenue for the Heritage Brands business is expected to decrease 4% to 5% as compared to the 2011 amount of $1.775 billion, including the negative impact of approximately 6% due to the previously mentioned exit of businesses.

On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share in 2012 is currently projected to be in the range of $6.15 to $6.25, an increase of 14% to 16% over the 2011 amount of $5.38. This estimate

5


is negatively impacted by $0.20 to $0.25 per share due to projected foreign currency translation. Pension expense is expected to increase by approximately $0.15 per share as compared to 2011, due in large part to a decrease in discount rates. Anticipated debt payments of approximately $300 million for the full year 2012, combined with the effect of debt payments made during 2011, are expected to result in a decrease to net interest expense of approximately $0.12 per share as compared to 2011. The Company currently estimates that the 2012 effective tax rate will be 23.5% to 24.0%, which would generate an improvement on a non-GAAP basis of approximately $0.35 per share as compared to 2011.

Second Quarter Guidance
Second quarter revenue in 2012 is currently projected to be relatively flat as compared to the prior year’s second quarter amount of $1.334 billion. This includes the negative revenue impact of approximately 4%, of which approximately $30 million is attributable to projected foreign currency translation and approximately $20 million is attributable to the exit from the Timberland and Izod women’s wholesale sportswear businesses. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the exited businesses, second quarter revenue in 2012 is projected to increase approximately 4%.

Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to grow approximately 4% as compared to the second quarter of 2011, including the negative impact of approximately 4% due to projected foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to grow approximately 4% as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Revenue for the Heritage Brands business is expected to decrease 8% to 9% as compared to the second quarter of 2011, principally as a result of the negative impact of approximately 5% due to the exit of businesses, as discussed above.

On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share for the second quarter is currently projected to be in the range of $1.18 to $1.20, an increase of 10% to 12% over $1.07 in the prior year’s second quarter, which includes negative impacts related to projected foreign currency translation, an increase in pension expense and increased product costs. The Company currently estimates that the second quarter 2012 effective tax rate will be 26.5% to 27.0%.

CEO Comments:
Commenting on these results, Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “We are very pleased with our first quarter results, which were driven by our global Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses. Both of these brands continued to demonstrate their worldwide consumer appeal during the first quarter, allowing us to perform above our expectations for both revenue and earnings per share, despite the cost pressures and economic headwinds in Europe that have impacted our industry. Although the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and Europe remains uncertain, the continued momentum in these businesses has enabled us to increase our full year earnings guidance. We believe that the impact of the product cost increases that have negatively affected our industry will abate in the second half of 2012, which will have a positive impact on all of our businesses.”

Mr. Chirico continued, “We are excited about the continued execution of our growth strategies for our brands, particularly Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, as we expand our global footprint. Our new Tommy Hilfiger joint ventures in the high growth markets of India and China performed very well during the first quarter. We continue to eagerly anticipate bringing the Tommy Hilfiger European men’s tailored apparel and ck Calvin Klein European apparel and accessories businesses in-house in 2013. We look forward to unlocking the potential that these initiatives present and we will continue to drive global sales by working diligently to identify additional growth opportunities for these two power brands.”

Mr. Chirico further commented, “As we head into the second quarter, we are optimistic that the strength of our brands and the sound execution of our business strategies, along with our strong balance sheet, will continue to drive long-term growth and improvements in our financial metrics and business returns in 2012 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Exclusions:
The discussions in this release that refer to non-GAAP amounts exclude the following:
Pre-tax costs of $69.5 million incurred in 2011 in connection with the integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring, of which $30.5 million was incurred in

7


the first quarter, $11.2 million was incurred in the second quarter, $9.3 million was incurred in the third quarter, and $18.6 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
Pre-tax costs of $16.2 million incurred in the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Company’s credit facility.
Pre-tax costs of $8.1 million incurred in 2011 in connection with the Company’s negotiated early termination of its license to market sportswear under the Timberland brand and the Company’s 2012 exit from the Izod women’s wholesale sportswear business, of which $6.7 million was incurred in the second quarter, $0.5 million was incurred in the third quarter and $1.0 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
A pre-tax expense of $20.7 million incurred in the third quarter of 2011 in connection with the Company’s reacquisition of the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks that had been subject to a perpetual license, as under accounting rules, the Company was required to record an expense due to settling the preexisting license agreement, which was unfavorable to the Company.
A tax benefit of $5.4 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 resulting from revaluing certain deferred tax liabilities in connection with a decrease in the statutory tax rate in Japan.
Pre-tax costs of approximately $25 million expected to be incurred in 2012 principally in connection with the integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring, of which $3.3 million was incurred in the first quarter and approximately $10 million is expected to be incurred in the second quarter.
Estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax costs, which are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it has recorded as an acquisition, integration, restructuring or debt modification cost to determine if such cost is tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily tax deductible in the United States, in which case the Company assumed a combined federal and state tax rate of 38.0%, or as non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax benefit.

Please see Tables 1 through 4 and the section entitled “Full Year and Second Quarter Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” later in this release for reconciliations of

GAAP to non-GAAP amounts.

PVH CORP.
Non-GAAP Measures
(In thousands, except per share data)


The Company believes presenting its results excluding (i) the costs incurred in 2012 and 2011 in connection with its integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring; (ii) the costs incurred in 2011 in connection with the modification of its credit facility; and (iii) the tax effects associated with these costs, which are on a non-GAAP basis for each year, provides useful additional information to investors. The Company believes that the exclusion of such amounts facilitates comparing current results against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The Company also excludes these costs in connection with certain incentive compensation calculations.

The following table presents the Company’s GAAP revenue and the non-GAAP measures that are discussed in this release. Please see Tables 1 through 4 for reconciliations of the GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts.

(1) The estimated tax effects of the Company’s integration, restructuring and debt modification costs are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it has recorded as an integration, restructuring and debt modification cost to determine if such cost is tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the deduction would occur. All of the Company’s integration, restructuring and debt modification costs were identified as either primarily tax deductible in the United States, in which case the Company assumed a combined federal and state tax rate of 38.0%, or as non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax benefit.

Adjustments for the quarter ended April 29, 2012 represent the elimination of the costs incurred in connection with the Company’s integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring.

(2) 
Adjustments for the quarter ended May 1, 2011 represent the elimination of the costs incurred in connection with the Company’s (i) integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring; and (ii) modification of its credit facility.

(3) 
In 2011, the Company changed the way actuarial gains and losses from its defined benefit pension plans are allocated to its reportable segments. Actuarial gains and losses are now included as part of corporate expenses and are not allocated to any reportable segment. Prior year periods have been restated in order to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year.

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

The Company believes presenting its (1) 2012 estimated results excluding (i) the costs expected to be incurred principally in connection with its integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring; and (ii) the estimated tax effects associated with these costs, and (2) 2011 results excluding (i) the costs incurred in connection with its integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring; (ii) the costs incurred in connection with the negotiated early termination of its license to market sportswear under the Timberland brand and the 2012 exit from its Izod women’s wholesale sportswear business; (iii) the expense incurred associated with settling the unfavorable preexisting license agreement in connection with its buyout of the Tommy Hilfiger perpetual license in India; (iv) the costs incurred in connection with the modification of its credit facility; (v) the estimated tax effects associated with these costs; and (vi) the tax benefit resulting from revaluing certain deferred tax liabilities in connection with a decrease in the statutory tax rate in Japan, both of which are on a non-GAAP basis, provides useful additional information to investors. The Company believes that the exclusion of such amounts facilitates comparing current results against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. The Company has provided the reconciliations set forth below to present its estimates on a GAAP basis and excluding these amounts. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The costs associated with the Company’s integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring, the negotiated early termination of its Timberland license and the 2012 exit from the Izod women’s wholesale sportswear business, its buyout of the Tommy Hilfiger perpetual license in India and the modification of its credit facility are also excluded from earnings per share calculations for purposes of incentive compensation awards. The estimated tax effects associated with the above costs are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it has recorded or expects to record as an integration, restructuring or debt modification cost to determine if such cost is tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily tax deductible in the United States, in which case the Company assumed a combined federal and state tax rate of 38.0%, or as non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax benefit.
