GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As described in Note 20, “Segment Data,” 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 Company did not recast goodwill by segment for earlier historical periods as it was impracticable to do so.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, prior to the change in reportable segments, were as follows:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Impairment Testing

Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for discussion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets impairment testing process.

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 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 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 $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. 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

The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. For the 2025 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company 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.

The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and reporting unit-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its 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, the Company 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 the Company’s annual impairment test.

2024 Annual Impairment Test

For the 2024 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2024, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test using a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its reporting units.

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for 2024 yielded estimated fair values in excess of the carrying amounts for all of its reporting units with assigned goodwill and therefore no impairment of goodwill was identified.

2023 Annual Impairment Test

For the 2023 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2023, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment 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.

The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and reporting unit-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its quantitative goodwill impairment test performed in 2022, and the impact at that time of (i) the improvement in certain macroeconomic conditions contributing to a favorable change in the Company’s market capitalization since the time of the 2022 test, which would imply a reduction to the risk premium included in the discount rate used in the 2022 test and, therefore, improvement in the fair values of the Company’s reporting units, and (ii) the Company’s then-current financial performance and updated financial forecasts, which were generally consistent with or exceeded the projections used in the 2022 test.

After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company 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 the Company’s annual impairment test in 2023.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing

2025 Interim Impairment Test

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 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, 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 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 $22.0 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 $25.0 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.

2025 Annual Impairment Test

The Company performed its annual impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. For the 2025 annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test, the Company 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.

The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and asset-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its 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, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of its 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 the Company’s 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.

2024 Annual Impairment Test

For the 2024 annual impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2024 for all other indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test, using a discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. The fair values for all indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts and, therefore, the assets were not impaired. The indefinite-lived intangible asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by 19%.
2023 Annual Impairment Test

For the 2023 annual other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2023, 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.

The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company- and asset-specific factors. In performing this assessment, the Company considered the results of its annual impairment testing performed in 2022, and the impact at that time of (i) the improvement in certain macroeconomic conditions contributing to a favorable change in the Company’s market capitalization since the time of 2022 test, which would imply a reduction to the risk premium included in the discount rate used in the 2022 test, and therefore, improvement in the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets and (ii) the Company’s then-current financial performance and updated financial forecasts.

After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets was less than its carrying amount and concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from the Company’s annual impairment test in 2023.

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 the Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of February 1, 2026. If different assumptions for the Company’s 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, the Company’s businesses do not perform as projected, or there is an extended period of a significant decline in its stock price, the Company could incur additional goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges in the future.
