Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce

In September 2024, China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) announced that it had initiated an investigation into the Company’s business under the Provisions of the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL Provisions”) upon the suspicion that the Company (i) suspended normal transactions with Chinese entities or individuals, (ii) adopted discriminatory measures against products produced in or made from raw materials or component parts from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and (iii) violated normal market trading principles. In October 2024, the Company submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, the Company submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the List of Unreliable Entities. The Company does 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. According to the UEL Provisions, potential measures could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of the Company’s relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of the Company’s relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No measures have been imposed on the Company at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include the Company’s inability to
produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, the Company’s inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or the Company’s inability to make investments in China.

The Company cannot currently predict the duration or impact of any measures that may ultimately be imposed. The imposition and enforcement of measures against the Company could have a material adverse effect on its revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, if, as a result of any such measures, it is necessary for the Company 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. The Company may also incur material non-cash impairment charges if it is unable to recover the carrying value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. Additionally, if the production of the Company’s products in China ceases, its business could be impacted more broadly and the Company may need or decide to shift production to other jurisdictions.

Warehouse and Distribution Expenses

The Company records warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, as a component of SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2025 totaled $88.1 million and $171.5 million, respectively. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2024 totaled $87.8 million and $164.3 million, respectively.

Allowance For Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through trade receivables from its customers and licensees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its trade receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. An allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $26.9 million, $22.4 million and $43.2 million as of August 3, 2025, February 2, 2025 and August 4, 2024, respectively.

Supply Chain Finance Program

The Company has a voluntary supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”) administered through a third party platform that provides the Company’s inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from the Company to participating financial institutions in advance of the invoice due date, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell a receivable. The Company’s 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.

Accordingly, amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the corresponding payments are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Suppliers had elected to sell $467.4 million, $457.9 million and $445.5 million of the Company’s payment obligations that were outstanding as of August 3, 2025, February 2, 2025 and August 4, 2024, respectively, to financial institutions and $924.7 million and $828.9 million had been settled through the program during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2025 and August 4, 2024, respectively.

Guarantees

The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts on behalf of certain parties. There have been no significant changes to the amounts guaranteed by the Company from those discussed in Note 20, “Guarantees,” 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.
Leases

As stated in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, information related to the Company’s operating leases was as follows:
(In millions)8/3/252/2/258/4/24
Operating Lease Right-of-Use-Assets$1,888.0 $1,157.5 $1,224.0 
Current portion of operating lease liabilities329.6 289.1 302.8 
Long-Term Portion of Operating Lease Liabilities1,687.6 1,011.3 1,069.1 

The increase in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2025 was primarily due to the execution of lease extensions, generally for a term of 10 years, with certain retail outlet store landlords covering a significant portion of the Company’s North America store portfolio.
