Factors to Note

PVH Corp has been reeling under uncertainty related to the Ukraine war, macroeconomic challenges, inflationary pressure and the pandemic. Also, continued weakness in the North America business due to the ongoing supply-chain pressures and logistic delays have been concerning.

These factors are likely to have dented the fiscal second-quarter performance. On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, management expected a year-over-year revenue decline of 4-3% for second-quarter fiscal 2022. This is inclusive of a 4% reduction for the exit of the Heritage Brands Retail business and a 2% decline stemming from the war in Ukraine. The bottom line was predicted to be $2.20 on a GAAP basis and $2.00 on a non-GAAP basis. Notably, it reported $2.51 and $2.72 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.

However, the company’s continued momentum in its core brands, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, along with strength in its international business, bodes well. The company's Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands are anticipated to have performed well in the quarter under review, driven by robust consumer demand. Some other notable efforts, including Calvin Klein’s spring collection launch and all-together campaign, global Tommy Jeans AAPE by A Bathing Ape collaboration and a partnership with the online game platform Roblox, are likely to have acted as upsides.

Also, continued momentum in PVH Corp's international unit is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the fiscal second quarter.
