Insights

Increasing the stock repurchase program by $2 billion suggests a strong balance sheet and confidence in future cash flows. This can be seen as a positive indicator for investors, signaling potential undervaluation or a strategic move to consolidate ownership. However, the projected revenue decline for 2024, including the effects of divestitures and a shorter fiscal year, might raise concerns about growth prospects, particularly in the context of a challenging macroeconomic environment.

While the gross margin improvement indicates effective cost management and pricing power, the focus should be on the sustainability of these margins in the face of potential economic headwinds. The company's emphasis on direct-to-consumer channels, as evidenced by a 9% growth in this segment, aligns with broader retail trends towards digital transformation and may buffer against wholesale volatility.

The reported EPS exceeding guidance for both Q4 and the full year provides a short-term positive outlook for investors, reflecting operational efficiency and possibly better-than-expected sales performance. The flat operating margin projection for 2024, despite a revenue decline, suggests a continued focus on cost control and operational efficiency. However, investors should consider the long-term implications of the revenue decline forecast and monitor the company's strategic initiatives under the PVH+ Plan to assess their effectiveness in driving long-term profitability.

It's important to note the use of non-GAAP measures, which exclude certain items to provide what may be considered a clearer picture of the company's operating performance. Investors should understand these adjustments and consider both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the company's financial health.

The strategic initiatives outlined by the CEO, including the PVH+ Plan, aim to enhance brand desirability and market execution, which are critical in the highly competitive fashion industry. The focus on a demand-driven supply chain and inventory management, as evidenced by a 21% inventory reduction, is a proactive approach to maintaining stock freshness, which is vital for consumer appeal and can lead to reduced markdowns and improved profitability.

However, the projected revenue decrease for 2024, partly due to divesting the Heritage Brands women's intimates business, indicates a narrowing of the company's portfolio. This strategic shift may allow for a more focused brand strategy but could also limit diversification benefits. Stakeholders should closely watch the company's performance in Asia and North America, where growth is expected, against the backdrop of a 'more challenged' European market.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] today reported its 2023 fourth quarter and full year results and provided its 2024 outlook.

Stefan Larsson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered a strong fourth quarter and fiscal 2023, generating high single-digit direct-to-consumer growth, with growth in both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger and all regions. We significantly expanded our gross margins, drove strong pricing power, and are beginning to realize the benefits from the early buildout of our demand-driven supply chain, which allowed us to decrease inventory 21% to last year with much better stock freshness to start the new spring season.”

Mr. Larsson added, “Looking ahead to 2024, we will continue to build momentum with our PVH+ Plan, driving brand desirability for both Calvin and Tommy in product, consumer engagement and marketplace execution, powered by our demand-driven underlying operating engine. This will directly translate into growth in Asia and North America, while in Europe where the macro has become more challenged, our focus is on quality of sales to further strengthen our market-leading position. We see big, value-creating upside through the compounded effect of our consistency in PVH+ Plan execution and strong brand-building focus as we drive long-term, profitable, brand-accretive growth.”

Zac Coughlin, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our disciplined execution of the PVH+ Plan drove strong gross margin expansion and EPS growth for 2023. In a tougher macroeconomic backdrop in 2024, we are leaning into the next level of PVH+ Plan execution across the Company to create value by increasing quality of sales, driving gross margin improvements and cost efficiencies to deliver significant cash flow and attractive returns for our shareholders. Reflecting confidence in our long-term growth potential, the Board authorized a $2.0 billion increase to the Company’s stock repurchase program.”

Non-GAAP Amounts:
Amounts stated to be on a non-GAAP basis exclude the items that are defined or described in greater detail near the end of this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions.” Amounts stated on a constant currency basis also are deemed to be on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliations of amounts on a GAAP basis to amounts on a non-GAAP basis are presented after the Non-GAAP Exclusions section and identify and quantify all excluded items.

Fourth Quarter Review:

  • Revenue was flat compared to the prior year period (decreased 1% on a constant currency basis). Overall revenue in the Company’s international businesses increased 4% over the prior year period as strong growth in the Asia Pacific region across all markets more than offset a continued challenging macroeconomic environment in Europe, particularly impacting the wholesale business. In North America, revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses combined was down 2% compared to the prior year period, as strong growth in the direct-to-consumer business was more than offset by a decline in wholesale revenue, as wholesale customers continue to take a cautious approach. The benefit from the 53rd week in the fourth quarter of 2023 was largely offset by a reduction related to the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business that closed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Direct-to-consumer revenue increased 9% compared to the prior year period (increased 9% on a constant currency basis), with growth in all regions in both the Company’s owned and operated stores and digital commerce business. Owned and operated digital commerce revenue increased 10% compared to the prior year period (increased 9% on a constant currency basis).
    • Wholesale revenue decreased 10% compared to the prior year period (decreased 12% on a constant currency basis), inclusive of a 3% reduction related to the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business, as wholesale customers continue to take a cautious approach.
    • Total digital revenue increased 1% compared to the prior year period (decreased 1% on a constant currency basis) as the strong growth in the Company’s digital commerce business discussed above was partially offset by a decrease in wholesale sales to traditional retailers’ ecommerce businesses and pure players. Total digital penetration as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 20%.
  • Gross margin was 60.3% compared to 55.9% in the prior year period. The increase reflects benefits from lower freight costs, a favorable shift in regional and channel mix and lower product costs.
  • Inventory decreased 21% compared to the prior year period, in line with expectations, as the Company continues to proactively manage its inventory levels.

Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results:

  • Revenue of $2.490 billion was flat compared to the prior year period (decreased 1% on a constant currency basis). The benefit from the 53rd week in 2023 was largely offset by the revenue reduction related to the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
    • Tommy Hilfiger revenue increased 1% compared to the prior year period (decreased 1% on a constant currency basis).
      • Tommy Hilfiger International revenue decreased 1% (decreased 3% on a constant currency basis).
      • Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue increased 4%.
    • Calvin Klein revenue increased 4% compared to the prior year period (increased 3% on a constant currency basis).
      • Calvin Klein International revenue increased 12% (increased 10% on a constant currency basis).
      • Calvin Klein North America revenue decreased 8% driven by a decrease in the wholesale business.
    • Heritage Brands revenue decreased 41% compared to the prior year period, which included a 30% decrease resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) on a GAAP basis was $357 million, inclusive of a $5 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation, compared to $297 million in the prior year period. Included in the fourth quarter and the prior year period were recognized actuarial gains on retirement plans of $46 million and $78 million, respectively. EBIT on a GAAP basis for these periods also includes the other amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. EBIT on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excludes these amounts.

    EBIT on a non-GAAP basis was $301 million, inclusive of the $5 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation, compared to $215 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by the gross margin improvement discussed above. The Company continued to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses and driving cost efficiencies, while making targeted investments to drive its strategic initiatives.
  • Earnings per share (“EPS”)
    • GAAP basis: $4.55 compared to $2.18 in the prior year period.
    • Non-GAAP basis: $3.72 compared to $2.38 in the prior year period.

EPS on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes the positive impact of $0.06 per share related to foreign currency translation.

EPS on a GAAP basis for these periods also included the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. EPS on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excludes these amounts.

  • Interest expense decreased to $20 million from $22 million in the prior year period.
  • Effective tax rate was 19.3% on a GAAP basis as compared to 49.7% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the prior year period included the negative impact resulting from a $417 million pre-tax noncash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2022, which was non-deductible for tax purposes and factored into the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis for these periods also includes pre-tax amounts and related tax effects for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. The effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excludes these amounts. The effective tax rate was 21.1% on a non-GAAP basis as compared to 21.7% in the prior year period.

Full Year 2023 Consolidated Results:

  • Revenue increased 2% to $9.218 billion compared to 2022 (increased 1% on a constant currency basis). The benefit from the 53rd week in 2023 was largely offset by the revenue reduction related to the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
    • Tommy Hilfiger revenue increased 4% compared to 2022 (increased 2% on a constant currency basis).
      • Tommy Hilfiger International revenue increased 3% (increased 1% on a constant currency basis).
      • Tommy Hilfiger North America revenue increased 6%.

    • Heritage Brands revenue decreased 18% compared to 2022, including a 7% decrease resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women's intimates business.
  • EBIT on a GAAP basis was $929 million, inclusive of an $11 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation, compared to $471 million in 2022. These results include the amounts for the applicable period described under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions” later in this release. EBIT on a non-GAAP basis for these periods excludes these amounts.

    EBIT on a non-GAAP basis was $931 million, inclusive of the $11 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation, compared to $857 million in 2022. The increase was driven by a 140 basis point improvement in gross margin, partially offset by higher expenses, including an increase in marketing and other investments to drive the Company’s strategic growth initiatives compared to 2022. The Company continued to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses and driving cost efficiencies, while making targeted investments to drive its strategic initiatives.
  • EPS
    • GAAP basis: $10.76 compared to $3.03 in 2022.
    • Non-GAAP basis: $10.68 compared to $8.97 in 2022.

  • Interest expense increased to $88 million from $83 million in 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates.
  • Effective tax rate was 21.1% on a GAAP basis as compared to 48.4% in 2022. The effective tax rate was 21.9% on a non-GAAP basis as compared to 23.3% in 2022.

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.

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

  • Pre-tax gain of $46 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to the recognized actuarial gain on retirement plans.
  • Pre-tax net gain of $13 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the sale of the Company’s Heritage Brands women's intimates business, which includes a gain on the sale, less costs to sell, and severance and other termination benefits associated with the transaction.
  • Pre-tax restructuring costs of $61 million incurred in 2023 consisting principally of severance related to actions taken in the second and third quarters of 2023 under the plans initially announced in August 2022 to reduce people costs in the Company’s global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023, of which $39 million was incurred in the second quarter, $19 million was incurred in the third quarter and $4 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
  • Pre-tax gain of $78 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the recognized actuarial gain on retirement plans.
  • Pre-tax noncash goodwill impairment charge of $417 million recorded in the third quarter of 2022, which was non-operational and primarily driven by a significant increase in discount rates.
  • Pre-tax restructuring costs of $20 million incurred in 2022, consisting principally of severance related to initial actions under the plans announced in August 2022 to reduce people costs in the Company’s global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023, of which $17 million was incurred in the third quarter and $4 million was incurred in the fourth quarter.
  • Pre-tax net costs of $43 million recorded in 2022 in connection with the Company’s decision to exit from its Russia business, primarily consisting of noncash asset impairments and a gain on contract terminations, of which $50 million of charges were recorded in the second quarter and an $8 million gain was recorded in the fourth quarter.
  • Pre-tax gain of $16 million recorded in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the sale of the Company’s equity investment in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V.
  • 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 was (i) taxable or tax deductible, in which case the tax effect was taken at the applicable income tax rate in the local jurisdiction, or (ii) non-taxable or non-deductible, in which case the Company assumed no tax effect.

The Company presents constant currency revenue information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies and 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 and can have a significant impact on the Company’s reported revenues. The Company calculates constant currency revenue information by translating its foreign revenues for the relevant 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 relevant period).

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, including constant currency revenue information, as a supplement to its GAAP results. The Company believes presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, as it provides information to assess how its businesses performed excluding the effects of non-recurring and non-operational amounts and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as applicable, and (i) facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that it believes are not comparable between periods 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 non-recurring and non-operational amounts are also the basis for certain incentive compensation calculations. Non-GAAP financial measures 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 non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly described measures reported by other companies.

Please see tables 1 through 8 and the section entitled “Reconciliations of Constant Currency Revenue” later in this release for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts.

PVH CORP.
Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes it is useful to investors to present its results for the periods ended February 4, 2024 and January 29, 2023 on a non-GAAP basis by excluding (i) the recognized actuarial gains on retirement plans in the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022; (ii) the gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the sale of the Company’s Heritage Brands women's intimates business (the "Heritage Brands intimates transaction"), which includes a gain on the sale, less costs to sell; (iii) the costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, consisting of severance and other termination benefits; (iv) the restructuring costs incurred in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2023 and the third and fourth quarters of 2022 related to actions taken under the plans initially announced in August 2022 to reduce people costs in the Company’s global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 (the “2022 cost savings initiative”), consisting principally of severance; (v) the net costs incurred in connection with the Company’s decision to exit from its retail business in Russia and the cessation of its wholesale operations in Russia and Belarus (the “Russia business exit”), consisting of noncash asset impairments, contract termination and other costs, and severance recorded in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by a gain on contract terminations recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022; (vi) the gain recorded in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the sale of the Company’s equity investment in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (the “Karl Lagerfeld transaction”); (vii) the noncash goodwill impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2022, which was non-operational and primarily driven by a significant increase in discount rates, as a result of then-current economic conditions; and (viii) 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 the results being reported 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 8 for the reconciliations of the GAAP amounts to amounts on a non-GAAP basis.

The estimated tax effects associated with the Company’s exclusions on a non-GAAP basis are based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility.

PVH CORP.
Reconciliations of 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 and 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 impact 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 relevant 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 relevant 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.
