Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the plan administrator instructed us not to perform, and we did not perform, any auditing procedures with respect to the information summarized in Note 4, which was certified by Great-West Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan, except for comparing the information with the related information included in the financial statements. We have been informed by the plan administrator that the trustee holds the Plan’s investment assets and executes investment transactions. The plan administrator has obtained a certification from the trustee as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, that the information provided to the plan administrator by the trustee is complete and accurate.

PVH ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR RESIDENTS
OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the PVH Associates Investment Plan for Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Plan”) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried and hourly retail field workers of PVH Corp. (the “Company”) who are residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, at least age 21 or older, and have completed the earlier of; at least three consecutive months of service and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week; or have completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the first 12 months of employment or in any subsequent calendar year. The Plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employer Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

Trustee and Recordkeeper

The Plan’s trustee is Banco Popular. The Plan’s Directed Employee Benefit custodian and recordkeeper are Great-West Trust Company and Empower Retirement, respectively.

Participant Contributions

Participants may contribute up to 75% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan, limited to $15,000 per annum for the 2020 and 2019 plan years by Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).  In addition, eligible participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions up to $1,500 for the 2020 and 2019 plan years.

Employer Contributions

The Company matches 100% of the first 1% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan, plus 50% of the next 5% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant. To ensure that participants receive the maximum Company match under the plan’s contribution provisions, effective for the 2019 plan year and forward, the Company makes an additional “true-up” contribution to all participant accounts who did not receive the full match amount to which they are entitled.  True-up contributions are included in employer contributions receivable and are made in the following plan year prior to the tax filing date. The true-up contributions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1,431 and $1,081, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings.  Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions.

Vesting

Amounts attributable to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon are immediately vested.  Participants become 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two years of service.  Upon death, permanent disability, or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries become 100% vested in Company contributions.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee or Company contributions into any of the various investment options.  A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of contributions in PVH Corp. common stock.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral.  The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant’s account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate plus 1%.  Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions, which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.  Upon termination of employment, a participant is given 90 days to repay the loan in full or to establish loan repayments through an ACH debit origination before it is considered to be in default. Delinquent loans are considered to be distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.  Participant notes receivable are measured as the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

At December 31, 2020, outstanding notes receivable from participants totaled $90,992, with maturity dates through 2025 at interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 6.50%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Forfeitures

Contributions made on behalf of non-vested employees who have terminated are retained by the Plan and are used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions.  In 2020 and 2019, forfeitures of $1,004 and $657, respectively, were used to reduce the Company’s matching contributions.  At December 31, 2020 and 2019, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $745 and $1,420, respectively.

Payment of Benefits

Participants electing final distributions will receive payment in the form of a lump sum amount or installment payments equal to the value of their vested account unless the participant notifies the Company of their intent to receive all or a portion of their investment balance in PVH Corp. common stock in the form of shares.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Plan Amendments

Effective January 1, 2020, the Plan adopted certain provisions for special disaster relief withdrawals as permitted by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department Internal Revenue Circular Letters 20-09 and 20-23 due to the earthquakes in Puerto Rico and the global pandemic.  Distributions related to these amendments during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $243,578.


2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan were prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

PVH ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR RESIDENTS
OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Administrative Expenses

In general, costs and expenses of administering the Plan are paid and absorbed by the Plan or the Plan Sponsor. The Plan's administrative expenses may be paid for through offsets and/or payments associated with one or more of the Plan's investment options. Investment management or related fees associated with certain investment fund options are paid by participants.

Investments

Investments are recorded in the accompanying financial statements at fair value.  Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a settlement date basis.  All assets of the Plan are held by the Plan custodian and are segregated from the assets of the Company.

Recent Accounting Guidance

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.  The objective of this guidance is to improve the effectiveness of disclosure for fair value measurements by adding, eliminating and modifying certain disclosure requirements.  The ASU should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Plan early adopted this standard in 2018 and adoption had no impact on the Plan financial statements.

3. Party-In-Interest Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Plan purchased 51 and 97 shares, respectively, and sold 41 and 166 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.  The Plan also received $33 and $134 during 2020 and 2019, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. Certain legal and accounting fees, and administrative expenses relating to the maintenance of participant eligibility records are paid by the company participating in the plan, and accordingly, are not included in the financial statements of the Plan.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB 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.  The guidance establishes a three level fair value 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 Plan 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 identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active 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 Plan’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following tables set forth the financial assets of the Plan by level within the fair value hierarchy, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Valued at the closing price of PVH Corp. common stock as determined by the closing price in the active market in which the securities are traded.

(3)
Valued at the net asset value of the fund as determined by the fund family as a practical expedient to estimating fair value .  The Plan has no unfunded commitments related to this common collective trust fund.  This fund invests in guarantee contracts and instruments and is redeemable on a daily basis without restriction.

5. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amount reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

6. Income Tax Status

The Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury has determined and informed the Company by letter dated February 24, 2014 and effective January 1, 2011, that the Plan and related trust is designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico (“IRC”).  Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification.  The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
