Key Factors to Note

PVH Corp has been gaining from brand strength, particularly Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, backed by market share growth and strong demand. It has been witnessing an impressive performance in the digital platform as customers shifted to online purchases amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenues in the digital commerce business are likely to have been aided by robust growth across all regions and brands in the fiscal second quarter as well. The company’s initiatives to expand its digital business and strengthen its network with third-party digital partners are expected to have contributed to digital sales growth in the fiscal second quarter.

It has been witnessing favorable margin trends in the past few quarters, which are expected to have continued in the fiscal second quarter. The gross margin is likely to have benefited from reduced promotional selling, positive shift to regional sales mix and lower inventory reserves. This is expected to have resulted in gross margin expansion across all regions and brands. Expense leverage across all regions and brands is expected to get reflected in EBIT margin growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management anticipated year-over-year revenue growth of 34-36% (up 29-31% at cc) for the fiscal second quarter. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to be $1.15-$1.18 per share, suggesting a rise from 13 cents reported in the prior-year quarter.

However, sluggish store traffic due to a lack of international tourists in North America is expected to have been a headwind. On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, the company anticipated North America businesses to remain soft, owing to sluggishness in international tourism.
