Non-GAAP Amounts:
Amounts stated to be on a non-GAAP basis exclude the items that are described below under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions.” Amounts stated on a constant currency basis are also deemed to be on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliations of amounts on a GAAP basis to amounts on a non-GAAP basis are presented later in this release and identify and quantify all excluded items.
   
CEO Comments:

Commenting on these results, Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted,
“We are pleased with our first quarter 2019 results, as our earnings per share exceeded the high end of our guidance range. While the global retail environment was challenging, the power of our diversified business model and the strength of our brands, global platforms and teams drove our businesses forward.”
 
Mr. Chirico continued, “Looking ahead, the volatile and challenging macroeconomic backdrop has continued into the second quarter, with particular softness across the U.S. and China retail landscape. Additionally, further volatility in foreign exchange rates is expected to pressure our full year earnings per share by an incremental $0.10 compared to our prior expectations. As such, we believe it is prudent to factor this into our updated full year earnings outlook.”

Mr. Chirico concluded, “We remain confident that we are in a strong position to gain market share as we deliver against our strategic priorities. We are incredibly excited to strengthen our management team with the appointment of Stefan Larsson as President, who will help fuel our global growth.  As we continue to invest in the strategic areas of the business that address the increasingly dynamic and ever-changing consumer landscape, while also taking a more nimble approach to react to emerging business trends, we see a significant opportunity to deliver long-term value for our stockholders.”

First Quarter Business Review:

Tommy Hilfiger
Revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger business for the quarter increased 4% to $1.1 billion (increased 9% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Tommy Hilfiger International revenue increased 4% to $680 million (increased 12% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by strong performance in Europe. International comparable store sales increased 9%. Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue increased 3% to $372 million (increased 3% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, driven by growth in the North America wholesale business, partially offset by a 4% decline in North America comparable store sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter decreased to $92 million, inclusive of a $9 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, from $132 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were costs of $55 million incurred in connection with the closure of the Company’s TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”), primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the prior year period were costs of $7 million related to the April 2016 acquisition of the 55% interest in the Company’s former Tommy Hilfiger joint venture in China that it did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”), consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $147 million, inclusive of a $9 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, from $139 million in the prior year period. The earnings increase was principally due to strong performance in the international business.

Calvin Klein
Revenue in the Calvin Klein business for the quarter of $890 million was flat (increased 4% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Calvin Klein International

3










revenue decreased 2% to $466 million (increased 5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, as solid growth in Europe was more than offset by the negative impacts of foreign currency translation and weakness in China. International comparable store sales decreased 4%. Calvin Klein North America revenue increased 2% to $424 million (increased 3% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period, due to an increase in the wholesale business, partially offset by a 5% decline in North America comparable store sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter decreased to $48 million, inclusive of a $5 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, from $109 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were costs of $70 million in connection with the restructuring associated with the strategic changes for the Calvin Klein business announced in January 2019 (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”), consisting of a $30 million noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the Company’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, $19 million of severance, $15 million of contract termination and other costs, $5 million of other noncash asset impairments, and $2 million of inventory markdowns. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the period, as discussed below, excludes these amounts.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $119 million, inclusive of a $5 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, from $109 million on a GAAP basis in the prior year period (there were no non-GAAP exclusions in the prior year period). The earnings increase was principally due to lower expenses.

Heritage Brands
Revenue in the Heritage Brands business for the quarter increased 1% to $415 million compared to the prior year period, due to an increase in the wholesale business, partially offset by a 6% decline in comparable store sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the quarter decreased to $40 million from $42 million in the prior year period, principally due to gross margin pressure from a more promotional U.S. retail environment.

First Quarter Consolidated Results:
First quarter revenue increased 2% to $2.4 billion (increased 6% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period.

Earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $1.08 for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $2.29 in the prior year period. These results include the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.

Earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis was $2.46 for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $2.36 in the prior year period. Earnings per share on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2019 included a $0.15 negative impact related to foreign currency translation.

Earnings before interest and taxes on a GAAP basis for the quarter decreased to $135 million, inclusive of a $14 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, from $244 million in the prior year period. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the current quarter were $131 million of costs consisting of (i) $70 million related to the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) $55 million in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, and (iii) $6 million in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facilities. Included in earnings before interest and taxes for the prior year period were costs of $7 million related to the TH China acquisition. Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for these periods, as discussed below, exclude these amounts.
 
Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter increased to $267 million, inclusive of a $14 million negative impact due to foreign currency translation, compared to $251 million in the prior year period. The improvement in earnings was principally driven by growth in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses.

Net interest expense increased to $30 million from $28 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis was 22.4% as compared to 17.1% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis was 21.4% as compared to 17.3% in the prior year period.

Stock Repurchase Program:
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 500,000 shares of its common stock for $61 million (9.5 million shares for $1.1 billion since inception) under the $2.0 billion stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors through June 3, 2023. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as the Company deems appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, restrictions under the Company’s debt arrangements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.

2019 Outlook:
The Company’s 2019 guidance assumes that two acquisitions will close in the second quarter of 2019. The first is the Company’s pending acquisition of the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it does not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). The Company and Gazal jointly own and manage a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited ("PVH Australia"), which licenses and operates businesses under the “TOMMY HILFIGER,” “CALVIN KLEIN” and “Van Heusen” brands, along with other licensed and owned brands. PVH Australia will come under the Company’s full ownership as a result of the Australia acquisition. The second is the Company’s pending acquisition of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Hong Kong and certain other countries in Central and Southeast Asia from the Company’s current licensee in those markets (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). These pending acquisitions are expected to add approximately $150 million of revenue in 2019.


6










The 2019 guidance incorporates the impact on certain of the Company’s products of tariffs imposed on nearly $200 billion of total goods imported from China into the U.S. (Tranches 1, 2 and 3) at 25%.  However, the 2019 guidance does not contemplate any future increase in tariffs on additional goods imported from China into the U.S.

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

Full Year Guidance
The Company currently projects that 2019 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be in a range of $9.05 to $9.15 compared to $9.65 in 2018. The Company currently projects that 2019 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be in a range of $10.20 to $10.30 compared to $9.60 in 2018. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP projections include the estimated negative impact of approximately $0.32 per share related to foreign currency translation.

Revenue in 2019 is projected to increase approximately 3% (increase approximately 5% on a constant currency basis) as compared to 2018. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is projected to increase approximately 6% (increase approximately 9% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is projected to be flat (increase approximately 2% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Heritage Brands business is projected to be flat.

Net interest expense in 2019 is projected to increase to approximately $120 million compared to $116 million in 2018. The Company estimates that the 2019 effective tax rate will be in a range of 14.5% to 15.5% on a GAAP basis and in a range of 14% to 15% on a non-GAAP basis.

The Company’s estimate of 2019 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis excludes approximately $96 million of pre-tax net costs, consisting of (i) $105 million of pre-tax costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, consisting of a noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the Company’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, severance, contract termination and other costs,

7










other noncash asset impairments, and inventory markdowns, (ii) $55 million of pre-tax costs incurred in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments, (iii) $6 million of pre-tax costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facilities, (iv) an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $70 million expected to be recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition and the TH CSAP acquisition, consisting of a noncash gain to write up the Company's equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by pre-tax costs related to both pending acquisitions, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets, and the resulting estimated tax effects of these pre-tax items.

Second Quarter Guidance
The Company currently projects that second quarter 2019 earnings per share on a GAAP basis will be in a range of $2.75 to $2.80 compared to $2.12 in the prior year period. The Company currently projects that second quarter 2019 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis will be in a range of $1.85 to $1.90 compared to $2.18 in the prior year period. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP projections include an estimated negative impact of approximately $0.06 per share related to foreign currency translation.

Revenue in the second quarter of 2019 is projected to be flat (increase approximately 2% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year period. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business in the second quarter is projected to increase approximately 3% (increase approximately 6% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Calvin Klein business in the second quarter is projected to decrease approximately 4% (decrease approximately 2% on a constant currency basis). Revenue for the Heritage Brands business in the second quarter is projected to decrease approximately 2%.

Net interest expense in the second quarter of 2019 is projected to decrease to approximately $28 million compared to $29 million in the prior year period. The Company estimates that the second quarter 2019 effective tax rate will be in a range of 21% to 22% on a GAAP basis and in a range of 21.5% to 22.5% on a non-GAAP basis.


8










The Company’s estimate of second quarter 2019 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis excludes a net pre-tax gain of approximately $85 million, consisting of (i) an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $105 million expected to be recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition and the TH CSAP acquisition, consisting of a noncash gain to write up the Company's equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by pre-tax costs related to both pending acquisitions, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets and (ii) $20 million of pre-tax costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, and the resulting estimated tax effects of these pre-tax costs.

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

Pre-tax costs of approximately $105 million incurred and expected to be incurred in 2019 related to the Calvin Klein restructuring, consisting of a noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the Company’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, other noncash asset impairments, severance, contract termination and other costs, and inventory markdowns, of which $70 million was incurred in the first quarter and $20 million is expected to be incurred in the second quarter.
Pre-tax costs of $55 million incurred in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments.
Pre-tax costs of $6 million incurred in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facilities.
Aggregate net pre-tax gain of approximately $70 million expected to be recorded in 2019 in connection with the Australia acquisition and the TH CSAP acquisition, consisting of a noncash gain to write up the Company's equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by pre-tax costs related to both pending acquisitions, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets, of which an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $105 million is expected to be recorded in the second quarter.

9










Pre-tax costs of $41 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the Calvin Klein restructuring, consisting of $27 million of severance, $7 million of noncash asset impairments, $4 million of contract termination and other costs, and $2 million of inventory markdowns.
Pre-tax costs of $24 million incurred in 2018 related to the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets, of which $7 million was incurred in the first quarter, $7 million was incurred in the second quarter, $6 million was incurred in the third quarter and $4 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
Pre-tax loss of $15 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the recognized actuarial loss on retirement plans.
Discrete tax benefit of $41 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the remeasurement of certain of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the enactment of legislation in the Netherlands known as the “2019 Dutch Tax Plan.”
Discrete net tax benefit of $25 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 to adjust the provisional net tax benefit recorded in 2017 in connection with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, primarily consisting of the release of a valuation allowance on the Company’s foreign tax credits.
Estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax items, which are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each item that it had identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible, and if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All items above were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

As a supplement to the Company’s GAAP results, the Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company presents results in this manner because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies but reports financial information in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign

10










revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported revenues. The Company believes presenting constant currency revenue information provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.
The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the current year period into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior year period (rather than at the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

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

Please see Tables 1 through 7 and the sections entitled “Reconciliations of 2019 Constant Currency Revenue” and “Full Year and Quarterly Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Amounts” later in this release for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts.

Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not be anticipated, including, without limitation, (i) the Company’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the Company; (ii) the Company may be considered to be highly leveraged and uses a significant portion of its cash flows to service its indebtedness, as a result of which the Company might not have sufficient funds to operate its businesses in the manner it intends or has operated in the past; (iii) the levels of sales of the Company’s apparel, footwear and related products, both to its wholesale customers and in its retail stores, the levels of sales of the Company’s licensees at wholesale and retail, and the extent of discounts and promotional pricing in which the Company and its licensees and other business partners are required to engage, all of which can be affected by weather conditions, changes in the economy, fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, repositionings of brands by the Company’s licensors, and other factors; (iv) the Company’s ability to manage its growth and inventory, including the Company’s ability to realize benefits from acquisitions, such as the pending acquisitions referenced in this press release; (v) quota restrictions, the imposition of safeguard controls and the imposition of duties or tariffs on goods from the countries where the Company or its licensees produce goods under its trademarks, such as the recently increased tariffs and threatened additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from China, any of which, among other things, could limit the ability to produce products in cost-effective countries or in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed, or require the Company to absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact the Company’s revenue and profitability; (vi) the availability and cost of raw materials; (vii) the Company’s ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations and the migration and development of manufacturers (which can affect where the Company’s products can best be produced); (viii) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability in any of the countries where the Company’s or its licensees’ or other business partners’ products are sold, produced or are planned to be sold or produced; (ix) 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, as well as reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers become ill or limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure; (x) acquisitions and divestitures and issues arising with acquisitions, divestitures and proposed transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to integrate an acquired entity or business into the Company with no substantial adverse effect on the acquired entity’s, the acquired business’s or the Company’s existing operations, employee relationships, vendor relationships, customer relationships or financial performance, and the ability to operate effectively and profitably the Company’s continuing businesses after the sale or other disposal of a subsidiary, business or the assets thereof; (xi) the failure of the Company’s licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of the Company’s brands, or their misuse of the Company’s brands; (xii) significant fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which the Company transacts significant levels of business; (xiii) the Company’s retirement plan expenses recorded throughout the year are calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions, and differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses, which can be significant, that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year; (xiv) the impact of new and revised tax legislation and regulations, particularly the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that might disproportionately affect the Company as compared to some of its peers due to the specific tax structure of the Company and its greater percentage of revenues and income generated outside of the U.S., and the legislation enacted in the Netherlands known as the “2019 Dutch Tax Plan”; and (xv) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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

The Company believes it is useful to investors to present its results for the quarters ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2019 related to the restructuring associated with the strategic changes for its Calvin Klein business announced in January 2019 (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”), consisting of a noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the Company’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York; other noncash asset impairments; severance; contract termination and other costs; and inventory markdowns; (ii) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the closure of the Company’s TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”), primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments; (iii) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facilities; (iv) the costs incurred in the first quarter of 2018 related to the acquisition of the 55% interest in TH Asia, Ltd., its former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China, that it did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”), consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets; and (v) the tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items. The Company excludes these amounts because it deems them to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that their exclusion (i) facilitates comparing 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, and (ii) assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. The Company believes that investors often look at ongoing operations of an enterprise as a measure of assessing performance. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The Company’s results excluding the items described above are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The information presented on a non-GAAP basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table presents the non-GAAP measures that are discussed in this release. Please see Tables 1 through 7 for the reconciliations of the GAAP amounts to amounts on a non-GAAP basis.

(1) The estimated tax effects associated with the Company’s exclusions on a non-GAAP basis are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each pre-tax item that it had identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible and, if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All of the pre-tax items identified as non-GAAP exclusions were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

PVH CORP.
Reconciliations of 2019 Constant Currency Revenue
(In millions)

As a supplement to the Company’s reported operating results, the Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company presents results in this manner because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies but reports financial information in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in U.S. dollars with respect to its foreign revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported revenues. The Company believes presenting constant currency revenue information provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.
The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the current year period into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior year period (rather than at the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).
Constant currency performance should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency revenue information presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

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

The Company is presenting its 2019 estimated results on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the costs incurred and expected to be incurred related to the Calvin Klein restructuring, consisting of a noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the Company’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York; other noncash asset impairments; severance; contract termination and other costs; and inventory markdowns; (ii) the costs incurred in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments; (iii) the costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facilities; (iv) the aggregate net gain expected to be recorded in connection with the pending acquisition of the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it does not already own, and the pending acquisition of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Hong Kong and certain other countries in Central and Southeast Asia from the Company’s current licensee in those markets, consisting of a noncash gain to write up the Company's equity investments in Gazal and PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited to fair value, partially offset by costs related to both pending acquisitions, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets; and (v) the estimated tax effects associated with the foregoing pre-tax items. The Company has provided the reconciliations set forth below to present its estimates on a GAAP basis and excluding the foregoing amounts.

The 2019 estimated results are presented on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The Company believes presenting these results on a non-GAAP basis provides useful additional information to investors. The Company excludes such amounts that it deems to be non-recurring or non-operational and believes that excluding them (i) 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, and (ii) assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. The Company uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s Board of Directors and others. The Company’s results excluding the items described above are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or as superior to, the Company’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The information presented on a non-GAAP basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The estimated tax effects associated with the above pre-tax items are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility. In making this assessment, the Company evaluated each pre-tax item identified above as a non-GAAP exclusion to determine if such item is taxable or tax deductible, and, if so, in what jurisdiction the tax expense or tax deduction would occur. All of the pre-tax items identified as non-GAAP exclusions were identified as either primarily taxable or tax deductible, with the tax effect taken at the statutory income tax rate of the local jurisdiction, or as non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.
