Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.
We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 140 years. We have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange for over 100 years.
We generated revenue of $9.0 billion, $8.7 billion, and $9.2 billion in 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, with over 70% of our revenue in 2025, 2024 and 2023 generated outside of the United States. Our global iconic lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein , together generated over 95% of our revenue during each of 2025 and 2024, and over 90% of our revenue during 2023.
In addition to TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein , which are owned, we previously owned a portfolio of other brands, which primarily consisted of Warner’s , Olga and True&Co. , which we owned until November 27, 2023. We also license Van Heusen , Nike and other brands for certain product categories.
PVH+ Plan
The PVH+ Plan is our multi-year, strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world and make PVH the leading brand building group in our sector. A description of the plan can be seen in Item 1 of this report under the heading “Our Business Strategy.”
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Macroeconomic Environment
The conflict in the Middle East, which began in March 2026, has resulted in increased fuel and oil costs, the strengthening of the United States dollar against other currencies, in particular the euro, and volatility in world financial markets. These and other factors may lead to broader macroeconomic implications that could have a significant impact on our business including a decline in consumer spending and inventory availability. The length, scope and intensity of the conflict is unknown. As a result, there is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the conflict and its broader macroeconomic implications will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in 2026.
Inflation and other macroeconomic pressures, such as tariffs (discussed further below), elevated interest rates and the risk of recession, continue to create a complex and challenging retail environment globally, particularly in North America. Macroeconomic factors have had and may continue to have a negative impact on consumer demand for apparel and related products globally.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States, with incremental tariffs on products imported from most countries and economic unions, and the potential for further increases and revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements. In response, some countries and economic unions announced retaliatory tariffs on United States exports and other trade restrictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. federal government were unconstitutional. In response to that decision, the U.S. President issued an executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. The outlook on further trade policy actions is unclear, including whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended. These actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. We continue to analyze the impact of incremental tariffs on our business and are taking steps to mitigate our tariff exposure to the extent possible. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to more significantly include further sourcing optimization, negotiations with our vendors, internal to drive cost savings, optimizing our discount strategies and pricing actions.
The increased tariffs for goods entering the United States had a net negative impact on our full year 2025 gross profit, including a gross impact of approximately $69 million and a partially offsetting impact from mitigation actions which began in the third quarter and more significantly took effect in the fourth quarter. Our outlook assumes a 15% tariff rate on goods
coming into the U.S. effective February 24, 2026 and assumes that U.S. inventory receipts prior to that include the tariff rates that were in place for each applicable country prior to the Supreme Court ruling. We currently expect an estimated net negative impact on our full year 2026 gross profit, including a gross impact of approximately $195 million and a partially offsetting impact from planned mitigation actions. However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs are difficult to predict, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impact through our mitigation efforts. In addition, there is significant uncertainty as to the amount and timing of tariff refunds, and as such, our outlook does not assume refunds for tariffs previously paid.
Outlook Uncertainty
There is significant uncertainty with respect to the conflict in the Middle East, global trade policies (including tariffs) and the related impacts of each on the broader macroeconomic environment, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. Our 2026 outlook excludes any potential impacts from a prolonged, expanded or more intense conflict in the Middle East and assumes no material worsening of current conditions. Our revenue and earnings in 2026 may be subject to material change as a result of these and other macroeconomic factors.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,350 Company-operated free-standing store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, (b) approximately 1,450 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks. Additionally, we generate revenue from fees for licensing the use of our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks.
Effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, we changed our reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in our business and organizational structure. We operate our business through the following reportable segments: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) APAC, and (iv) Licensing. Our historical segment results have been recast to reflect the new organizational structure. Our reportable segments include the brand businesses we operate under our TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein trademarks, which we own, and Van Heusen , Nike and other trademarks, which we license for certain product categories. References to brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and identified by italicizing the brand name. Please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our reportable segments.
The following actions, transactions and events have impacted our results of operations and the comparability among the years, including our full year 2026 expectations, as discussed below:
• We recorded pre-tax noncash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $480 million in the first quarter of 2025 in conjunction with interim goodwill and other intangible assets impairment tests. The impairments were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
• We embarked on a multi-year initiative beginning in the second quarter of 2024 to simplify our operating model through the Growth Driver 5 Actions. The initiative has resulted in annualized cost savings of over $200 million, while making targeted investments to drive our strategic initiatives. While the actions to support this initiative were largely completed by the end of 2025, there are certain actions to be completed and additional actions that we plan to take under this initiative, on a limited basis, in 2026. We recorded pre-tax costs of $93 million during 2025 in connection with this initiative consisting principally of severance. We recorded pre-tax costs of $24 million during 2024 in connection with this initiative, including $33 million of costs consisting principally of severance, which were partially offset by a $10 million gain on the sale of a warehouse and distribution center. We expect to incur additional costs in 2026, however the additional costs cannot be quantified at this time. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
• We amended in September 2024 Mr. Tommy Hilfiger’s employment agreement, pursuant to which we made a cash buyout of a portion of the future payment obligation (the “Mr. Hilfiger amendment”). We recorded pre-tax costs of
$51 million during the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment.
• We completed the sale of our Warner’s , Olga and True&Co. women’s intimates businesses, including net assets with a carrying value of $140 million, to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $156 million. We recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the closing of the transaction, consisting of (i) a gain of $15 million, which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the carrying value of the net assets, less costs to sell, partially offset by (ii) $2 million of pre-tax severance and other termination benefits associated with the transaction. We recorded an incremental gain of $10 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
• We announced in August 2022 plans to reduce people costs in our global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 to drive efficiencies and enable continued strategic investments to fuel growth, including in digital, supply chain and consumer engagement (the “2022 cost savings initiative”), which has resulted in annual cost savings of over $100 million, net of continued strategic people investments. We recorded pre-tax costs of $61 million during 2023, consisting principally of severance related to additional actions taken in July and September 2023. All costs related to these actions were incurred by the end of 2023. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
We extended in 2022 most of our licensing agreements with G-III for Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER in the United States and Canada, largely pertaining to the women’s apparel product categories sold at wholesale in North America. These agreements now have staggered expirations through 2026, the first of which occurred at the end of calendar 2023. We have been directly operating a significant portion of the businesses for the previously licensed product categories, and we intend to continue to directly operate a significant portion of these businesses as the license agreements expire, with the remainder being re-licensed to other third parties. The expiration of these licenses and the transition of previously licensed women’s product categories in house did not have a material impact on our revenue and gross margin in 2024 and resulted in a 1% net increase to our revenue and an approximately 50 basis point decline in our gross margin in 2025. In 2026, the transition of previously licensed product categories in house is expected to result in a less than 1% net increase to our revenue and an approximately 50 basis point decline in our gross margin.
Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our results of operations are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 70% of our 2025 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation.
During 2024 the United States dollar weakened against the euro, which is the foreign currency in which we transact the most business, and then further weakened during 2025. As a result, our 2025 revenue and net income increased by approximately $250 million and $25 million, respectively, as compared to 2024 due to the impact of foreign currency translation. We currently expect our 2026 revenue and net income to increase by approximately $100 million and $15 million, respectively, as compared to 2025 due to the impact of foreign currency translation.
There also is a transactional impact of foreign exchange because we have foreign subsidiaries that purchase inventory in a currency other than their functional currency. We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transactional impact. We enter into these contracts up to 15 months in advance for a portion of the projected inventory purchases and may enter into incremental contracts leading up to the time the inventory purchases occur. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts is then realized in our results of operations as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. The transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2025 gross margin as compared to 2024 was immaterial. The transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2026 gross margin as compared to 2025 is expected to be favorable by approximately 50 basis points.
We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that are held in the United States. The strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the par value of these senior notes issued
by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. In addition, we entered into multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts in 2023, with a maturity date of July 2025, which, in aggregate, economically converted our $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 2025 from a United States dollar-denominated obligation to a euro-denominated obligation of €457 million. In July 2025, we completed a transaction to effectively blend and extend those cross-currency swaps with new fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts maturing in July 2027 and July 2028. We also designated these cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings and cross-currency swaps at the end of each period is recorded in equity. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the UEL Provisions . In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, we submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February 2025, it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the UEL. We do not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures as a result of the listing or what they will be if any are imposed. Approximately 6 % and 20% of our revenue and income before interest and taxes (excluding goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges recorded in 2025), respectively, were generated in China in each of 2024 and 2025. Furthermore, if, as a result of any such measures, it is necessary for us to cease certain or all operations in China, it may result in charges related to excess inventory and difficulty collecting trade receivables, among other things. We may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Please see our risk factor “ China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Entities (“UEL”) and could result in or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material effect on our revenue and results of operations ” in Part I, Item 1A.

Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
Total revenue in 2025 was $8.950 billion compared to $8.653 billion in 2024. The overall increase in revenue was $297 million, or 3%, in 2025 compared to 2024, including a positive impact of $251 million or 3 % related to foreign currency translation.
Revenue by Segment :
• EMEA – Revenue increased $210 million, or 5%, compared to 2024, including a positive impact of $249 million, or 6%, related to foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the decrease in revenue was driven by declines in both the direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses.
• Americas – Revenue increased $154 million, or 6%, compared to 2024, driven by growth in the wholesale business partially offset by a decrease in the direct-to-consumer business. The increase in wholesale revenue included the transition to in-house of previously licensed women’s product categories. The impact of foreign currency translation on our Americas segment was not significant.
• APAC – Revenue decreased $60 million, or 4%, compared to 2024, including an approximately 2% decline resulting from the timing of Lunar New Year, which occurred in the first and fourth quarters of 2024 but did not occur at all in 2025. The decrease in revenue reflected declines in both the direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses. The impact of foreign currency translation on our APAC segment was not significant.
• Licensing – Revenue decreased $7 million, or 2%, compared to 2024.
Revenue by Brand :
• Tommy Hilfiger – Revenue increased 4% compared to 2024, including a 3% positive foreign currency impact.
• Calvin Klein – Revenue increased 3% compared to 2024, including a 2% positive foreign currency impact.
Revenue by Channel:
• Direct-to-consumer – Revenue increased 1% compared to 2024, including a 3% positive foreign currency impact.
◦ Owned and operated retail stores – Revenue was flat compared to 2024, including a 3% positive foreign currency impact. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, revenue declined in Americas and APAC, with EMEA revenue flat compared to the prior year period.
◦ Owned and operated digital commerce – Revenue increased 4% compared to 2024, including a 3% positive foreign currency impact. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, growth in Americas and APAC was partially offset by a decline in EMEA.
• Wholesale – Revenue increased 7% compared to 2024, including a 3% positive foreign currency impact. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, revenue growth in Americas was partially offset by the decreases in APAC and EMEA.
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
Total revenue in 2024 was $8.653 billion compared to $9.218 billion in 2023. The decrease in revenue of $565 million, or 6%, in 2024 compared to 2023 included (i) a 2% decline due to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, (ii) a 1% decline from the 53rd week in 2023 and (iii) a 1% negative impact of foreign currency translation.
Revenue by Segment :
• EMEA – Revenue decreased $253 million, or 6%, in 2024 compared to 2023, including a negative impact of $23 million, or 1%, related to foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the decrease in revenue was driven by declines in both the direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses, primarily due to a planned strategic reduction of sales in EMEA to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region.
• Americas – Revenue decreased $270 million, or 9%, in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by declines in both the direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses. The decrease in wholesale revenue was driven by a 15% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction. The impact of foreign currency translation on our Americas segment was not significant.
• APAC – Revenue decreased $27 million, or 2%, in 2024 compared to 2023, including a negative impact of $35 million, or 2%, related to foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, an increase in revenue in the direct-to-consumer business was offset by a decrease in wholesale revenue.
• Licensing – Revenue decreased $15 million, or 3% in 2024, compared to 2023.
Revenue by Brand :
• Tommy Hilfiger – Revenue decreased 5% in 2024 compared to 2023, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact. The decrease in revenue was driven by a revenue decline in Europe, including our planned strategic reduction to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, which weighed more heavily on Tommy Hilfiger revenue given the size of the business in Europe.
• Calvin Klein – Revenue decreased 1% in 2024 compared to 2023, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact.
Revenue by Channel:
• Direct-to-consumer – Revenue decreased 2% in 2024 compared to 2023, including a 1% decline from the 53rd week in 2023 and a 1% negative foreign currency impact.
◦ Owned and operated retail stores – Revenue decreased 1% in 2024 compared to 2023, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, growth in EMEA and APAC was offset by a decline in Americas.
◦ Owned and operated digital commerce – Revenue decreased 7% in 2024 compared to 2023, including a 1% negative foreign currency impact, primarily due to the planned strategic reduction of sales in EMEA to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, partially offset by growth in Americas.
• Wholesale – Revenue decreased 10% in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to (i) a 5% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and (ii) the planned strategic reduction of sales in EMEA to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region . The impact in 2024 of foreign currency translation on our wholesale distribution revenue was not significant.
Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025
We currently expect revenue for the full year 2026 to increase slightly compared to 2025. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, we currently expect revenue for the full year 2026 to be flat to increase slightly.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold, and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, such as inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and tariff and other import costs. Also included as cost of goods sold are the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Revenue from licensing the use of our trademarks is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.
Our gross margin was as follows:
Gross profit
% of total revenue
Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
Gross profit in 2025 was $5.149 billion, or 57.5% of total revenue, compared to $5.143 billion, or 59.4% of total revenue, in 2024. Approximately 80 basis points of the decline was due to the gross negative impact of the tariffs enacted in the first quarter of 2025 that were in place for goods coming into the United States and approximately 50 basis points of the decline was due to the transition of previously licensed product categories into our directly operated wholesale business, as revenue
through our wholesale distribution channel carries lower gross margins. The remaining 60 basis point decrease was primarily driven by (i) an increase in promotional selling as compared to the prior year period and (ii) higher freight costs and incremental discounts provided to customers to address the impact of Calvin Klein product delivery delays, partially offset by (i) lower product costs as compared to the prior year period which benefited us more significantly in the fourth quarter of the year, including a slightly favorable transactional impact of foreign exchange on our international businesses, particularly our European business, and (ii) mitigation actions to address the impact of tariffs.
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
Gross profit in 2024 was $5.143 billion, or 59.4% of total revenue, compared to $5.363 billion, or 58.2% of total revenue, in 2023. The 120 basis point gross margin increase was primarily driven by (i) lower product costs as compared to 2023, which benefited us more significantly in the first half of the year, (ii) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of total revenue in 2024 than in 2023 and carries higher gross margins, and (iii) the impact of the reduction in revenue as a result of the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, as the revenue from the Heritage Brands intimates business carried lower gross margins. These increases were partially offset by increased promotional selling in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to continued softness in the consumer environment particularly in North America.
Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025
We currently expect that gross margin in 2026 will be up slightly compared to 2025, despite (i) the approximately 215 basis point gross negative impact in 2026 of the tariffs on goods coming into the United States which reflects an assumed 15% tariff rate effective February 24, 2026 and the tariff rates previously in place for each applicable country prior to the Supreme Court ruling, compared to the approximately 80 basis point gross negative impact in 2025 and (ii) the approximately 50 basis point decline expected in connection with the above-mentioned transition of previously licensed product categories into our directly operated wholesale business. These decreases are expected to be more than offset by (i) the impact of planned mitigation actions to address the impacts of tariffs, (ii) the approximately 50 basis point increase due to the favorable transactional impact of foreign exchange on our international businesses, particularly our European business, (iii) lower product costs, and (iv) the absence of higher freight costs and incremental discounts provided to customers to address the impact of Calvin Klein product delivery delays.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses were as follows:
(In millions)
SG&A expenses
% of total revenue
Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
SG&A expenses in 2025 were $4.492 billion, or 50.2% of total revenue, compared to $4.411 billion, or 51.0% of total revenue in 2024. The 80 basis point decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by (i) the non-recurrence of costs incurred in the prior year period in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, and (ii) cost savings resulting from the Growth Driver 5 Actions. These decreases were partially offset by a net increase in restructuring costs incurred in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions.
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
SG&A expenses in 2024 were $4.411 billion, or 51.0% of total revenue, compared to $4.543 billion, or 49.3% of total revenue in 2023. The $132 million decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by cost efficiencies across the business as we continued to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses. The 170 basis point increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by (i) the impact of a change in the revenue mix between our direct-to-consumer distribution channel and our wholesale distribution channel as compared to 2023, as our direct-to-consumer distribution channel was a larger proportion of our total revenue in 2024 than in 2023 and carries higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue, (ii) the impact from the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decline in revenue in 2024, (iii) costs incurred in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, and (iv) restructuring costs incurred in connection with the Growth Driver 5
Actions. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of (i) the 2022 costs savings initiative and (ii) cost efficiencies across the business as we continued to take a disciplined approach to managing expenses.
Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025
We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2026 will decrease compared to 2025 primarily due to an approximately 100 basis points decrease resulting from the non-recurrence of restructuring costs incurred in 2025 in connection with the Growth Driver 5 actions. This decrease is expected to be offset by the net impact of an increase in strategic investments to fuel growth, including increased marketing, partially offset by the cost savings resulting from the Growth Driver 5 actions. Our expectation for 2026 does not include any further restructuring costs in connection with the Growth Driver 5 actions as they cannot be quantified at this time.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairments
We recorded noncash impairment charges of $480 million during the first quarter of 2025 in conjunction with interim goodwill and other intangible assets impairment tests, including $426 million related to goodwill and $54 million related to our Australia reacquired perpetual license rights, which were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates.
Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of these impairments.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income (Cost)
Non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) was $9 million, $(27) million, and $47 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Non-service related pension and postretirement income in 2025 included an actuarial gain on our retirement plans of $13 million. Non-service related pension and postretirement cost in 2024 included an actuarial loss on our retirement plans of $28 million. Non-service related pension and postretirement cost in 2023 included an actuarial gain on our retirement plans of $46 million, inclusive of a $20 million pre-tax curtailment gain recorded in connection with a change to freeze our defined benefit pension plans.
Please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our pension and postretirement plans, including the 2023 change to freeze our defined benefit pension plans.
Non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our results of operations. We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for 2026 will be approximately $3 million. However, our expectation of 2026 non-service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. As a result of volatility in the financial markets, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the actuarial gain or loss we may record on our retirement plans in 2026. We may record a significant actuarial gain or loss in 2026 if there is a significant increase or decrease in discount rates, respectively, or if there is a difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets. As such, our actual 2026 non-service related pension and postretirement income may be significantly different than our projections.
Other Gain
We recorded a gain of $10 million related to the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
We recorded a gain of $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with the closing of the Heritage Brands intimates transaction and an incremental gain of $10 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was $45 million, $48 million, and $46 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from (i) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands, and certain licensed trademarks in Mexico, (ii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands in India, (iii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in Brazil, and (iv) our PVH Legwear joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein brands and certain licensed trademarks in the United States and Canada. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for 2025 was relatively flat compared to 2024, relatively flat in 2024 compared to 2023 and expected to continue to be flat in 2026 compared to 2025.
Income Before Interest and Taxes
Our income before interest and taxes were as follows:
(Dollars in millions)
Income before interest and taxes
% of total revenue
Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
Income before interest and taxes in 2025 was $231 million, or 2.6% of revenue compared to $772 million or 8.9% of revenue in 2024, and included changes in our segments’ income before interest and taxes and other reconciling items as follows:
• EMEA – Income before interest and taxes in 2025 was $749 million, or 17.5% of total revenue, compared to $728 million, or 17.9% of total revenue in 2024. The 40 basis point decrease was driven by a decrease in gross margin. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were flat compared to the prior year period as savings resulting from the Growth Driver 5 Actions were offset by the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decrease in revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation.
• Americas – Income before interest and taxes in 2025 was $252 million, or 9.2% of total revenue, compared to $320 million, or 12.4% of total revenue in 2024. The 320 basis point decrease was driven by a gross margin decline inclusive of the negative impact of the tariffs enacted in the first quarter of 2025 that were in place for goods coming into the United States, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue due to (i) s avings primarily resulting from the Growth Driver 5 Actions and (ii) the leveraging of expenses resulting from the increase in revenue.
• APAC – Income before interest and taxes in 2025 was $292 million, or 19.3% of total revenue, compared to $317 million, or 20.1% of total revenue in 2024. The 80 basis point decrease was primarily driven by an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue driven by the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decline in revenue partially offset by a slight increase in gross margin.
• Licensing – Income before interest and taxes was $357 million in 2025, compared to $352 million in 2024.
• Corporate and other costs were $859 million in 2025, an increase of $7 million compared to $852 million in 2024, primarily due to an increase in global brands costs, partially offset by a decrease in corporate costs which includes savings resulting from the Growth Driver 5 Actions along with other efficiencies.
• Restructuring and other items included $560 million of net expenses in 2025, including (i) $480 million of noncash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges and (ii) $93 million of restructuring costs in connection with the Growth Driver 5 Actions, partially offset by (iii) a $13 million actuarial gain on retirement plans. Restructuring and other items included $93 million of net expenses in 2024, including (i) $51 million of costs in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, (ii) a $28 million actuarial loss on retirement plans, and (iii) $24 million of net restructuring costs related to the Growth Driver 5 Actions, partially offset by (iv) a $10 million gain related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction.
Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023
Income before interest and taxes in 2024 was $772 million, or 8.9% of total revenue compared to $929 million or 10.1% of total revenue in 2023, and included changes in our segments’ income before interest and taxes and other reconciling items as follows:
• EMEA – Income before interest and taxes in 2024 was $728 million, or 17.9% of total revenue, compared to $837 million, or 19.4% of total revenue in 2023. The 150 basis point decrease was driven by an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue due primarily to the deleveraging of expenses resulting from the decrease in revenue, partially offset by an increase in gross margin.
• Americas – Income before interest and taxes in 2024 was $320 million, or 12.4% of total revenue, compared to $253 million, or 8.9% of total revenue in 2023. The 350 basis point increase was primarily due to an increase in gross margin and a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue.
• APAC – Income before interest and taxes in 2024 was $317 million, or 20.1% of total revenue, compared to $329 million, or 20.5% of total revenue in 2023. The 40 basis point decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in gross margin.
• Licensing – Income before interest and taxes in 2024 was $352 million, a 3% decrease compared to $363 million in 2023.
• Corporate and other costs were $852 million in 2024, relatively flat compared to $851 million in 2023.
• Restructuring and other items included $93 million of net expenses in 2024, including (i) $51 million of costs incurred in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, (ii) a $28 million actuarial loss on retirement plans, and (iii) $24 million of net restructuring costs related to the Growth Driver 5 Actions, partially offset by (iv) a $10 million gain related to the Heritage Brands intimates transaction. Restructuring and other items included $2 million of net expenses in 2023, including (i) $61 million of expenses in connection with the 2022 cost savings initiative, partially offset by (i) a $46 million actuarial gain on retirement plans and (ii) an aggregate net gain of $13 million in connection with the Heritage Brands intimates transaction, consisting of a $15 million gain partially offset by $2 million of severance and other termination benefits.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased to $79 million in 2025 from $67 million in 2024 primarily due to the impact of the accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements we entered into in April 2025 to repurchase $500 million shares of our common stock. Please see the section entitled “Acquisition of Treasury Shares” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.
Interest expense, net decreased to $67 million in 2024 from $88 million in 2023 primarily due to (i) an increase in interest income resulting from higher levels of invested cash and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year period and (ii) the impact of the repayment of the $100 million 7 3/4% debentures in November 2023.
Please see the section entitled “Financing Arrangements” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.
Interest expense, net for the full year 2026 is currently expected to be approximately flat as compared to $79 million in 2025.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was as follows:
(Dollars in millions)
Income tax expense
Income tax as a % of pre-tax income
Significant items which have caused our tax rate to fluctuate each year include the items discussed below. The effect that discrete tax amounts have on the effective income tax rate in each year is not comparable due to changes in our pre-tax income.
Our effective income tax rate for 2025 was 83.3% primarily due to the impact of the $480 million pre-tax noncash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges that were recorded during the first quarter of 2025, which were non-deductible for tax purposes and factored into our annualized effective income tax rate, and resulted in a 60.8% increase to our effective income tax rate.
Our effective income tax rate for 2024 was 15.2% primarily due to (i) a favorable change in our uncertain tax positions including a benefit to our effective tax rate of 4.7% from the settlement of a multi-year audit in an international jurisdiction in the second quarter of 2024 and (ii) the favorable tax impacts of the foreign derived intangible income deduction and the generation of certain foreign tax credits, partially offset by (iii) an unfavorable change in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
Our effective income tax rate for 2023 was 21.1% primarily due to the favorable tax impacts of the foreign derived intangible income deduction and the generation of certain foreign tax credits, offset by our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
We currently expect that our effective income tax rate in 2026 will be in a range of 22% to 23%.
We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. Our tax rate is influenced by several factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, specific discrete transactions and events, new regulations, audits by tax authorities, and new information received. These elements may lead to adjustments in both our estimate for uncertain tax positions and the overall effective tax rate. Please see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of tax reform provisions. The enacted changes did not have a material impact on the 2025 effective tax rate. We do not expect the enacted changes to materially affect our 2026 estimated annual effective tax rate and we will continue to monitor future guidance related to the OBBBA.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released the Pillar Two framework which includes transition and safe harbor guidelines around the implementation of a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. Pillar Two legislation was enacted in certain jurisdictions where we operate and was effective in 2024. The global minimum effective tax rate did not have a material impact on our 2025 and 2024 effective tax rates. Based on our current analysis of the Pillar Two provisions, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our 2026 effective tax rate. We continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future financial statements as appropriate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Summary and Trends
Cash and cash equivalents at February 1, 2026 was $701 million, a decrease of $47 million from $748 million at February 2, 2025. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) cash generated from our operations, (ii) $561 million paid in connection with ASR agreements and open market purchases to repurchase common stock under our stock repurchase program (please see section entitled “Acquisition of Treasury Shares” below for further discussion), (iii) the redemption of $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due 2025 and (iv) $494 million of net proceeds from the issuance of $500 million principal amount of 5 1/2% senior notes due 2030. We ended 2025 with approximately $1.7 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities, which included $250 million related to the delayed draw term loan facility that expired on February 4, 2026, as discussed below .
Cash flow in 2026 will be impacted by various factors, including, as discussed further below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, (i) expected common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of at least $300 million, (ii) projected capital expenditures of approximately $250 million and (iii) mandatory long-term debt repayments on our term loan under our 2022 senior unsecured credit facilities of approximately $13 million, subject to exchange rate fluctuations.
As of February 1, 2026, $334 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of our historical earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States in jurisdictions which we would expect to incur material tax costs upon the distribution of such amounts. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.
Operations
Cash provided by operating activities was $680 million in 2025 compared to $741 million in 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities as compared to 2024 was primarily driven by (i) a decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges and (ii) changes in our working capital, including changes in inventories net of the related change in payables.
Supply Chain Finance Program
We have a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) administered through a third party platform that provides our inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions in advance of the invoice due date, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. Our payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, which generally do not exceed 90 days, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the SCF program. Please see Note 22, “Other Comments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our SCF program.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Dividends received from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $46 million, $42 million and $30 million during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in our net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective period. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Heritage Brands Intimates Transaction
We completed the sale of our women’s intimates businesses conducted under the Warner’s , Olga and True&Co. trademarks to Basic Resources on November 27, 2023 for net proceeds of $156 million, of which $160 million of gross proceeds are presented as investing cash flows and $4 million of transaction costs are presented as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2023. Due to the accelerated realization of the earnout provided for in the agreement with Basic Resources that occurred during the first quarter of 2024, we received additional proceeds of $10 million, which was paid to us in equal quarterly installments through the first quarter of 2025. Please see Note 4, “Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Sale of Warehouse and Distribution Center
We completed the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the third quarter of 2024 for net proceeds of $10 million in connection with our multiyear initiative to simplify our operating model by centralizing certain processes and improving systems and automation to drive more efficient and cost-effective ways of working across the organization. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Karl Lagerfeld Transaction
We completed the sale of our approximately 8% economic interest in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. to a subsidiary of G-III on May 31, 2022 for $20 million in cash, of which $19 million was received in 2022 and the remaining $1 million which was previously held in escrow was received in 2023.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in 2025 were $142 million compared to $159 million in 2024. The capital expenditures in 2025 primarily consisted of (i) investments in new stores and store renovations, (ii) investments, upgrades and enhancements in our information technology platforms, systems and infrastructure worldwide, and (iii) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network in Europe and North America. We currently project that capital expenditures for 2026 will increase to approximately $250 million and will primarily consist of continued investments in these same categories.
Dividends
Cash dividends paid on our common stock totaled $7 million, $9 million and $9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We currently project that cash dividends paid on our common stock in 2026 will be approximately $7 million.
Acquisition of Treasury Shares
The Board of Directors has authorized over time beginning in 2015 an aggregate $5 billion stock repurchase program through July 30, 2028. 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 we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program at any time, without prior notice. Our share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
On April 1, 2025, we entered into ASR agreements with financial institutions to repurchase an aggregate of $500 million of our shares of common stock under our existing $5 billion stock repurchase authorization. We paid $500 million to the financial institutions and received initial deliveries of an aggregate of approximately 4.6 million shares of our common stock at a price of $76.43 per share, the closing share price of our common stock on April 1, 2025. The value of the initial shares delivered represented approximately 70% of the aggregate purchase price. The ASR agreements were funded with cash on hand and $115 million of short-term borrowings. During the third quarter of 2025, the ASR agreements were settled, and we received an aggregate of approximately 2.3 million of additional shares of our common stock. The total number of shares purchased under the ASR agreements was approximately 6.9 million shares at a price paid per share of $72.44, which was based on the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the term of the ASR agreements, less a discount, and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreements. The ASR agreements were accounted for as a share purchase transaction and forward stock purchase agreement indexed to our common stock.
During 2025, we additionally purchased 0.8 million shares (all prior to the execution of the ASR agreements) and during 2024 and 2023, we purchased 4.7 million shares and 5.7 million shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $61 million, $501 million and $550 million, respectively. Excise taxes of $6 million, $5 million and $5 million were excluded from the share repurchases for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including in respect of the shares repurchased under the ASR agreements. Purchases of $4 million that were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2025 were paid in 2025. Purchases of $2 million that were accrued for in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2024 were paid in 2024. As of February 1, 2026, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $1.212 billion of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases, excluding excise taxes, as the excise taxes do not reduce the authorized amount remaining.
We currently expect common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of at least $300 million during 2026.
Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld in conjunction with the settlement of restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.
Financing Arrangements
Our capital structure was as follows:
(In millions)
Short-term borrowings
Current portion of long-term debt
Finance lease obligations
Long-term debt
Stockholders’ equity
In addition, we had $701 million and $748 million of cash and cash equivalents as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively.
Short-Term Borrowings
We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” We had no revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025.
Additionally, we have the ability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowing capacity of up to $235 million based on exchange rates in effect on February 1, 2026 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025.
Commercial Paper
We have the ability to issue unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. Borrowings under the commercial paper note program, when taken together with the revolving borrowings outstanding under the multicurrency revolving credit facility included in the 2022 facilities (as defined below), cannot exceed $1.150 billion. We had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025.
2025 Unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Facilities
On April 4, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement that provided for a delayed draw term loan facility with aggregate lending commitments of $250 million for United States dollar-denominated senior unsecured term loans (the “April 4 facility”). On April 25, 2025, we entered into an additional credit agreement that provided for a delayed draw term loan facility with aggregate lending commitments of $450 million for United States dollar-denominated senior unsecured term loans (the “April 25 facility”).
The April 25 facility terminated by its terms during the second quarter of 2025 as a result of our issuance of the $500 million principal amount of 5 1/2% senior notes due June 13, 2030 discussed below. The April 4 facility terminated by its terms on February 4, 2026. We had not drawn on these facilities prior to their terminations.
Finance Lease Obligations
Our cash payments for finance lease obligations totaled $3 million, $4 million and $5 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
On December 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2022 facilities”). The 2022 facilities consist of (a) a €441 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility”), (b) a $1.150 billion United States dollar-denominated multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “multicurrency revolving credit facility”), which is available in (i) United States dollars, (ii) Australian dollars (limited to A$50 million), (iii) Canadian dollars (limited to C$70 million), or (iv) euros, yen, pounds sterling, Swiss francs or other agreed foreign currencies (limited to €250 million), and (c) a $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars (together with the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the “revolving credit facilities”). The 2022 facilities are due on December 9, 2027.
The multicurrency revolving credit facility also includes amounts available for letters of credit and has a portion available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the multicurrency revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, we may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. The lenders under the 2022 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.
The terms of the Euro TLA facility require us to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding, which commenced with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2023. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date, paid in equal installments and subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the Euro TLA facility. The outstanding borrowings under the 2022 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments made by us would reduce the future required repayment amounts. The outstanding principal balance for the Euro TLA facility was €408 million as of February 1, 2026.
We made payments totaling $13 million, $12 million and $12 million on our term loan under the 2022 facilities in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The euro-denominated borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and multicurrency revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) and the euro-denominated swing line borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted daily simple euro short term rate (“ESTR”), calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus in each case an applicable margin.
The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either a base rate or an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.
The borrowings denominated in other foreign currencies under the 2022 facilities bear interest at various indexed rates specified in the 2022 facilities and are calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.
The applicable margin with respect to the Euro TLA facility as of February 1, 2026 was 1.250%. The applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facilities as of February 1, 2026 was 0.125% for loans bearing interest at the base rate, Canadian prime rate or daily simple ESTR and 1.125% for loans bearing interest at the EURIBOR or any other rate specified in the 2022 facilities. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and each revolving credit facility is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of our fiscal quarters, based upon our net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.
The 2022 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; and a change in control (as defined in the 2022 facilities).
The 2022 facilities require us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum net leverage ratio, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2022 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of our other debt.
7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023
We had $100 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrued interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. We repaid these debentures at maturity.
3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024
We had outstanding €525 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. We redeemed these notes on April 25, 2024 utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the €525 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due July 16, 2029 together with other available funds, as discussed below.
4 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2025
We had outstanding $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 10, 2025. We repaid these notes upon maturity utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the $500 million principal amount of 5 1/2% senior notes due June 13, 2030 together with other available funds, as discussed below.
3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027
We have outstanding €600 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, in advance of maturity, we may redeem the remaining outstanding notes beginning on September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
4 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2029
We issued on April 15, 2024, €525 million principal amount of 4 1/8% senior notes due July 16, 2029. We paid €5 million ($6 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees in connection with the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes.
During the first quarter of 2025, we completed the allocation of an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of the offering to sustainable materials, which qualify as environmental Eligible Projects (as defined in our prospectus relating to the notes offering). During the first quarter of 2024, we utilized the net proceeds of the offering, together with other available funds, to redeem the €525 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, as discussed above.
We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 16, 2029 by paying a “make whole” premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, in advance of maturity, we may redeem the remaining outstanding notes beginning on April 16, 2029, or all of these notes at any time in the event of certain developments affecting taxation, at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
5 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2030
We issued on June 13, 2025, $500 million principal amount of 5 1/2% senior notes due June 13, 2030. We paid $6 million of fees in connection with the issuance of the notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes.
We utilized the net proceeds of the offering, together with other available funds, to repay the $500 million principal amount of 4 5/8% senior notes due July 10, 2025, as discussed above.
We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to May 13, 2030 by paying a “make whole” premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, in advance of maturity, we may redeem the remaining outstanding notes beginning on May 13, 2030 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Our ability to create liens on our assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions is restricted under the indentures governing our senior notes.
As of February 1, 2026, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.
As of February 1, 2026, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a positive outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a stable outlook, and our commercial paper was rated A-3 by Standard & Poor’s and P-3 by Moody’s. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s considered, among other things, our capital structure and financial policies, our consolidated balance sheet, our historical acquisition activity and other financial information, including our revenue growth and operating margin, as well as industry and other qualitative factors.
Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our debt.
Additional Cash Requirements
The following table summarizes current and long-term cash requirements as of February 1, 2026, which we expect to fund primarily with cash generated from operating cash flows and continued access to financial and credit markets:

Total
(1) At February 1, 2026, the outstanding principal balance under our senior unsecured Term Loan A facility was $483 million, which requires mandatory payments through December 9, 2027 (according to the mandatory repayment schedules). We also had outstanding $711 million of 3 1/8% senior unsecured euro notes due December 15, 2027, $622 million of 4 1/8% senior unsecured euro notes due July 16, 2029 and $500 million of 5 1/2% senior unsecured notes due June 13, 2030.
(2) We lease Company-operated free-standing retail store locations, warehouses, distribution centers, showrooms, office space, and certain equipment and other assets. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information.
(3) Represents contractual commitments that are enforceable and legally binding for goods on order and not received or paid for as of February 1, 2026. Inventory purchase commitments also include fabric commitments with our suppliers, which secure a portion of our material needs for future seasons. Substantially all of these goods are expected to be received and the related payments are expected to be made in 2026. This amount does not include foreign currency forward contracts that we have entered into to manage our exposure to exchange rate changes with respect to certain of these purchases. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information.
(4) Represents cash requirements primarily related to (i) information-technology service agreements, (ii) minimum contractual royalty payments under several license agreements we have with third parties, and (iii) advertising and sponsorship agreements.
Not included in the above table are contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans, or payments in connection with our unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans and our unfunded postretirement health care and life insurance benefits plans. These cash requirements cannot be determined due to the number of assumptions
required to estimate our future benefit obligations, including return on assets and discount rate. The liabilities associated with these plans are presented in Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. Currently, we do not expect to make any material contributions to our pension plans in 2026. Our actual contributions may differ from our planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.
Not included in the above table are $47 million of net potential cash obligations associated with uncertain tax positions due to the uncertainty regarding the future cash outflows associated with such obligations. Please see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information related to uncertain tax positions.
Not included in the above table are $41 million of asset retirement obligations related to our obligation to dismantle or remove leasehold improvements from leased office, retail store or warehouse locations at the end of a lease term in order to restore a facility to a condition specified in the lease agreement due to the uncertainty of timing of future cash outflows associated with such obligations. Please see Note 22, “Other Comments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information related to asset retirement obligations.
MARKET RISK
Financial instruments held by us as of February 1, 2026 primarily include cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts. Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of February 1, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at February 1, 2026, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $0.7 million annually. Borrowings under our senior unsecured term loan facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, our senior unsecured term loan facility exposes us to market risk for changes in interest rates. As of February 1, 2026, approximately 80% of our long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remaining (euro-denominated) balance at a variable interest rate. Interest on the euro-denominated debt is subject to change based on fluctuations in the one-month EURIBOR. The effect of a 10 basis point change in the current one-month EURIBOR on our variable interest expense would be approximately $0.5 million annually. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section included in Part II, Item 7 of this report for further discussion of our credit facilities.
Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Over 70% of our $9.0 billion of revenue in 2025, $8.7 billion of revenue in 2024 and $9.2 billion of revenue in 2023 was generated outside of the United States. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways: a translational impact and a transactional impact.
The translational impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our results of operations and financial position. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are generally the applicable local currencies. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period and the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences that arise from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into United States dollars are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). Accordingly, our results of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan, and favorably impacted during times of a United States dollar those currencies.
Our 2025 revenue and net income increased by approximately $250 million and $25 million, respectively, as compared to 2024 due to the impact of foreign currency translation. We currently expect our 2026 revenue and net income to increase by approximately $100 million and $15 million, respectively, as compared to 2025 due to the impact of foreign currency translation.
In 2025, we recognized favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $403 million within other comprehensive income (loss) principally driven by a weakening of the United States dollar since February 2, 2025 against the euro of 14%. Our foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are significantly impacted by the
substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets denominated in the euro, which represented 46% of our $5.1 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of February 1, 2026. This translational impact was partially mitigated by the change in the fair value of our net investment hedges discussed below.
There also is a transactional impact of foreign exchange because we have foreign subsidiaries that purchase inventory in a currency other than their functional currency. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency rates related to certain intercompany transactions and SG&A expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts pertaining to these inventory transactions up to 15 months in advance of payment for a portion of the projected purchases and may enter into incremental contracts leading up to the time the payments occur.
The transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2025 gross margin as compared to 2024 was immaterial. The transactional impact of foreign currency on our 2026 gross margin as compared to 2025 is expected to be favorable by approximately 50 basis points.
Given our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at February 1, 2026, the effect of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of approximately $120 million. Any change in the fair value of these contracts would be substantially offset by a change in the fair value of the underlying hedged items.
In order to mitigate a portion of our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of our investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in the euro, we use both non-derivative instruments (the par value of certain of our foreign-denominated debt) and derivative instruments (cross-currency swap contracts), which we designate as net investment hedges. We designated the par value of our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. In addition, we entered into multiple receive fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest and pay fixed-rate euro-denominated interest cross-currency swap contracts in 2023, with a maturity date of July 2025. In July 2025, we completed a transaction to effectively blend and extend those cross-currency swaps with new receive fixed-rate United States dollar-denominated interest and pay fixed-rate euro-denominated interest cross-currency swap contracts maturing in July 2027 and July 2028. We also designated these cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
The effect of a 10% change in the euro against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of the net investment hedges of approximately $185 million. Any change in the fair value of the net investment hedges would be more than offset by a change in the value of our investments in certain of our European subsidiaries. Additionally, during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on our euro-denominated senior notes and to settle our cross-currency swap contracts, whereas during times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on these notes and to settle our cross-currency swap contracts.
Included in the calculations of expense and liabilities for our pension plans are various assumptions, including return on assets, discount rates and mortality rates. Actual results could differ from these assumptions, which would require adjustments to our balance sheet and could result in volatility in our future pension expense. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 1% change in the assumed rate of return on assets would result in a change to 2026 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $4 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2026 net benefit cost of approximately $15 million.
SEASONALITY
Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our direct-to-consumer businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Licensing revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter tends to have the highest level of revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting standards.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. We believe that the following are the more critical judgmental areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial position and results of operations:
Sales allowances and returns —We have arrangements with many of our department and specialty store customers to support their sales of our products. We establish accruals we believe will be required to satisfy our sales allowance obligations based on a review of the individual customer arrangements, which may be a predetermined percentage of sales in certain cases or may be based on the expected performance of our products in their stores. We also establish accruals, which are based on historical experience, an evaluation of current sales trends and market conditions, and authorized amounts, that we believe are necessary to provide for sales allowances and inventory returns. It is possible that the accrual estimates could vary from actual results, which would require adjustment to the allowance and returns accruals.
Inventories— Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail inventories in Asia is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. We review current business trends and forecasts, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments which we estimate will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at either the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable. We believe that all inventory write-downs required at February 1, 2026 have been recorded. Our historical estimates of inventory reserves have not differed materially from actual results. If market conditions were to change, including as a result of the conflict in the Middle East and global trade policies (including tariffs) and their broader macroeconomic implications, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, it is possible that the required level of inventory reserves would need to be adjusted.
Income taxes —Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent earnings experience and expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. The actual realization of deferred tax assets may differ significantly from the amounts we have recorded.
During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting for income taxes requires a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, we do not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Our actual results have differed materially in the past and could differ materially in the future from our current estimates.
Goodwill and other intangible assets —Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating
segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level.
We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. We may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Qualitative factors that we consider as part of our assessment include a change in our market capitalization and its implied impact on reporting unit fair value, a change in our weighted average cost of capital, industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of our businesses. If we perform the quantitative test for any reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets, we generally use a discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. The discounted cash flow method is based on the present value of projected cash flows. Assumptions used in these cash flow projections are generally consistent with our internal forecasts and include revenue growth rate, gross margin, operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin. The estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate that represents our weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost of capital is based on a number of variables, including the equity-risk premium and risk-free interest rate. Management believes the assumptions used for the impairment tests are consistent with those that would be utilized by a market participant performing similar analysis and valuations. changes in future market conditions or operating results compared to our expectations may impact our projected cash flows and estimates of weighted average cost of capital, which could result in a potential charge if we are to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For other indefinite-lived intangible assets, an is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill Impairment Testing
2025 Interim Impairment Test
Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in significant market volatility and a decrease in our stock price. As a result, we determined there was a triggering event that required us to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025.
As a result of this interim impairment test, we recorded $426 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes. The impairments were primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates, which incorporated elevated risk premiums, in particular for the Americas and APAC reporting units. Impairment charges of $8 million and $418 million fully impaired the goodwill balances in the Americas and APAC segments, respectively.
The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration, inclusive of a risk premium for each reporting unit to account for the additional risk and uncertainty perceived by market participants related to each reporting unit’s cash flows due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
2025 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2025 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025, we elected to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount.
We assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company and reporting unit-specific factors. In performing this assessment, we considered the results of our quantitative interim goodwill impairment test performed in the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of changes in the weighted average cost of capital and updated financial forecasts since the date of the interim impairment test.
After assessing these events and circumstances, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with allocated goodwill was less than its carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required. No impairment of goodwill resulted from our annual impairment test.
No impairment of goodwill resulted from our annual impairment tests in 2024 or 2023. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
2025 Interim Impairment Test
We also determined the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 and resulting impacts discussed above were also a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. For the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, we elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2024 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 93% as of the date of our 2024 annual test. Considering this and other factors, we determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required.
For the reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, we recorded $54 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025 to write down the license rights, which had a carrying amount of $191 million, to a fair value of $137 million. The $54 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other items for segment data reporting purposes. The impairment was primarily due to a significant increase in discount rates. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Australia business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the license rights of approximately $22 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the license rights of approximately $25 million.
The fair value of our reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows were discounted to present value using a discount rate of approximately 17% that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset.
2025 Annual Impairment Test
For the 2025 annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025, we elected to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount.
We assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company and asset-specific factors. In performing this assessment, we considered the results of our interim impairment testing performed in the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of changes in the weighted average cost of capital and updated financial forecasts since the date of the interim impairment test. After assessing these events and circumstances, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from our annual impairment test. Except for the reacquired perpetual license rights in Australia, for which the most recent quantitative impairment test was performed in the first quarter of 2025, the results of which are described above, all indefinite-lived intangibles had significant excess fair value in the most recent quantitative impairment test performed in 2024.
No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from our annual impairment tests in 2024 or 2023. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
Considerations Since the 2025 Annual Impairment Tests
There have been no significant events or change in circumstances since the date of the 2025 annual impairment tests that would indicate the remaining carrying amounts of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of February 1, 2026. If different assumptions for our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests had been applied, significantly different outcomes could have resulted. There continues to be significant uncertainty with respect to the conflict in the Middle East and global trade policies (including tariffs) and their broader macroeconomic implications, as well as the impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors, and foreign currency volatility. If economic conditions or market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate or otherwise vary from current assumptions (including those resulting in changes in the weighted average cost of capital), industry conditions deteriorate, or business conditions or strategies for a specific reporting unit change from current assumptions, our businesses do not perform as projected, or there is an extended period of a significant in our stock price, we could incur additional goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset charges in the future.
