GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2025, by segment (please see Note 17, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments), were as follows:

As described in Note 1, “General,” effective February 3, 2025, the first day of 2025, the Company changed its reportable segments to be region-focused to align with changes in its business and organizational structure. The information in the table above reflects the impact of this segment change whereby goodwill was reallocated to the respective reporting units on the first day of 2025 using a relative fair value approach. As a result of the change in reportable segments, the Company performed an impairment assessment immediately before and immediately after the segment change became effective, and no impairment of goodwill was identified.

The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets 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. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2025 for discussion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets impairment testing process.
Goodwill

Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 resulted in significant market volatility and a decrease in the Company’s stock price. As a result, the Company determined there was a triggering event that required the Company 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, the Company recorded $426.0 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025, which were included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other 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 $7.6 million and $418.4 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 and validated using a market 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. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, the Company used the guideline company method, which analyzes market multiples of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies.

There have been no significant events or changes in circumstances during the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2025 that would indicate the remaining carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill may be impaired as of August 3, 2025.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company also determined the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 and resulting impacts to the Company discussed above were also a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of its 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, the Company 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 2024 annual test. Considering this and other factors, the Company 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, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, the Company recorded $53.5 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2025 to write down the license rights, which had a carrying amount of $190.8 million, to a fair value of $137.3 million. The $53.5 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible asset impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in restructuring and other 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 the Company’s 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.
