Driven by our long-term vision, we invested in areas that are most impacted by the changing dynamics in the industry – the growing prominence of digital, the importance of having a nimble and responsive supply chain and our essential commitment to driving consumer engagement. We encouraged associates across our organization to be forward-thinking, with a focus on adapting to the evolving consumer environment, enhancing our brands and their competitive positioning across product lines and geographies, and better aligning our business to make it easier to initiate and effect change. While we, like many other global consumer companies, faced overarching geopolitical headwinds, the power of our brands, our businesses and, most importantly, our people drove our company forward. We continue to set our sights on making positive impacts in our communities while leading change across our business. PVH recognizes its responsibility as an industry leader and one of the world’s largest apparel companies to address its social and environmental impacts and contribute to a fair, healthy future for all. Further, we recognize the opportunity to make positive impacts throughout our value chain by empowering the people with whom we work, preserving the environment and supporting our communities. Our dedication to inspire and engage our consumers is at the heart of everything we do, and this manifested itself in the progress we made throughout our brands and businesses in 2017. As a result, we experienced momentum across our businesses and our financial performance exceeded our guidance throughout the year. Our revenues grew 9% to $8.9 billion and we posted GAAP earnings per share of $6.84 ($7.94* on a non-GAAP basis), including a negative impact of $0.15 per share related to foreign currency exchange rates. *Figure excludes certain amounts that were deemed non-recurring or non-operational.

The consumer is at the center of everything we do. We believe in balancing the heritage of our iconic brands with the need to evolve and maintain their cultural relevance. Innovation was a guiding force, with our teams capitalizing on creative new ways to connect with the next generation of consumers. We leveraged the power of digital and social media and enlisted key influencers to drive brand and cultural relevancy for CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER. We believe that we are strengthening our relationships with our consumers through these initiatives by growing our share of voice. We embarked on a product evolution across our brands, introducing new features, improving our fits and integrating new technologies, all while staying true to each brand’s unique positioning within the marketplace. These product enhancements allowed us to grow our fashion relevance and credibility, while also better catering to our consumers’ preferences. We also took measures to broaden our reach by offering limited edition capsule collections and unique collaborations that we believe helped us propel our brands forward by engaging with a new, more youth- minded consumer. Our sales into specialty accounts, while small, continued to be a strategic component of our business model, as we believe that it helps facilitate the continued relevance and demand for our brands with younger consumers. Leveraging our consumer-centric mindset, we are engaging consumers by growing our presence where they prefer to shop and creating exciting brand experiences across our distribution channels – from our wholesale accounts to our own stores and digital commerce sites. In our own stores, we leveraged our loyalty programs, updated our stores with enhanced digital and omni-channel features and implemented more marketing and visual components to elevate the consumer experience. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P S r E D l o h K C o T S o T r E T T E l 4 We further developed our digital footprint, achieving over 20% growth in the channel. We enhanced the digital consumer experience on our own sites by featuring a wider assortment of products and launching new personalization features. We leveraged our best practices with our wholesale customers and worked with them to implement thoughtful new ways to drive volume. Pure play digital commerce retailers continued to provide an important platform for us to reach consumers and we developed innovative commercial opportunities for our brands with them, including the CALVIN KLEIN X Amazon Fashion holiday retail experience. This collaboration consisted of a curated #MYCALVINs page on Amazon and pop-up shops in New York City and Los Angeles, driving tremendous brand coverage and significant sales growth during one of the most important selling periods of the year. Driven by our consumer-centric mindset, we are growing our presence where our consumers prefer to shop and creating exciting brand experiences across our distribution channels. strategiC priorities Drive Drive consumer engagement by investing in brand, product, channel, and in-store and online experiences. expand Expand CALVIN KLEIN’s and TOMMY HILFIGER’s worldwide reach and extend direct control over licensed businesses. invest Invest in and evolve our operating platforms through our systems, consumer data, speed to market, digitalization, supply chain initiatives and centers of excellence.

A N N U A L R E P O R T l E T T E r T o S T o C K h o l D E r S 5 CapitaliZing on the poWer of our global businesses W e continue to believe that our greatest opportunities are centered on expanding CALVIN KLEIN’s and TOMMY HILFIGER’s worldwide reach. We posted 16% revenue growth outside of the U.S. in 2017, as we capitalized on the growth opportunities for CALVIN KLEIN in Europe, as well as both brands in Asia and Latin America. We attribute the momentum we are experiencing to the solid brand foundations we have built globally, as consumers appreciate our compelling products, impactful consumer engagement initiatives and focus on catering to local market needs. Approximately 65% of our earnings before interest and taxes excluding corporate expenses was generated outside of the U.S. in 2017 and we expect that this penetration will increase, as we believe that there is a strong multi-year growth trajectory for both brands internationally. One of our greatest accomplishments of the year was the outstanding performance that we delivered in Europe. Our Tommy Hilfiger Europe business, which is well-established, posted strong double-digit topline growth, which exceeded our expectations and speaks to the strong positioning in the market. Our Calvin Klein Europe business, which is much less penetrated, saw tremendous growth, as we executed on our strategic roadmap and evolved our offerings into a true lifestyle representation. The momentum that we experienced across both businesses was broad-based, with strength across all channels of distribution, in all major markets, and across most of our category offerings. As we build upon CALVIN KLEIN’s presence in Europe, we believe that business can achieve revenues of at least $1 billion in the region over the next few years. China was also a positive story for CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER. Our Calvin Klein business continues to experience momentum and is well-positioned to deliver significant growth. The integration of our Tommy Hilfiger business is complete and we are actively making investments in people, stores, digital engagement and marketing. We believe that TOMMY HILFIGER is underdeveloped in China and it can reach its true potential by increasing the category offerings and expanding distribution, including a larger digital footprint, to capture the existing strong brand recognition. We believe the power of CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER in China far exceeds the size of our businesses there today and that we can double its size over the next five years by capitalizing on the strong platforms that we have developed in the region and focusing on implementing our strategic initiatives. We also see the potential to assume more direct control over select regions that are currently licensed, as the platforms we have established in Asia and Latin America naturally lend themselves to bring various licensed businesses in house. We believe that taking control over regions will give us the opportunity to maximize the potential for the TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN brands in those regions. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P S r E D l o h K C o T S o T r E T T E l 6 Driven by our long-term vision, we make ongoing investments to ensure that we adapt to the changing landscape, while promoting sustainable development throughout the business. evolving our businesses through strategiC investMents W e believe that the power of our business model is dependent on making our businesses – from our showrooms, to the consumer experience with third party retailers, to our own stores. ongoing investments to ensure that we adapt to the changing retail landscape, while promoting sustainable development throughout the business. We continue to invest in our global operating and digital platforms to position us best to capture the growth that we see ahead of us. We continue to upgrade our commercial systems and technologies across our businesses and regions of operation, with a focus on investing deeper in data analytics and consumer insights. We believe that these enhanced capabilities will enable us to react more dynamically and effectively to consumer behavior patterns, while also tailoring and individualizing the products and shopping experiences that we offer. We rolled out upgrades to our digital commerce sites and continued our investments in the digitalization of Furthering our supply chain initiatives was another highlight for the year, as we continued to make progress on maintaining an agile, data-driven supply chain. We made advancements to capture additional gross margin opportunities by continuing to optimize our vendor base to work more closely with long-term strategic partners, focusing on core replenishment for select categories and improving our speed to market, including test and chase capabilities. We shifted our supply chain strategy to maximize regional opportunities and began production from our joint venture manufacturing facility in Ethiopia. In line with our supply chain strategy, we strategically transformed our relationship with Li & Fung Trading Limited (“Li & Fung”) to enable us to control more directly our sourcing for our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses, leveraging our strong internal supply chain, while partnering with Li & Fung for value- added services relating to speed and innovation. We also continued to unlock the capabilities from our centers of excellence to further drive efficiencies across our supply chain by sharing best practices and leveraging our core competencies in key product areas. Most importantly, the advancements we made in our supply chain reflected our ongoing commitment to corporate responsibility (“CR”). CR is central to how we conduct business and it is a crucial consideration embodied in all of the strategic business decisions that we make. We are committed to making a positive impact on the people, the environment and the communities where we work and live, and communicating our progress to stakeholders in a transparent manner.

We outperformed our budgeted outlook from a top and bottom line perspective, ranked 25th by Forbes and JUST Capital on their annual list of JUST companies and launched the PVH Associate Relief Fund, which provides an opportunity for associates to unite from a philanthropic perspective and help each other in times of need. We achieved all of this while our industry continued to see great change, which required our associates to adapt how they think and manage our businesses to stay ahead of our competition. integrity Do the right thing. I sincerely believe that PVH would not be where it is today without our industry-leading talent. Our people exemplify our Core Values and I am accountability take ownership.

We generated approximately $275 million in free cash flow◊, which enabled us to make strategic investments in our businesses – from our acquisition of True & Co., to restructuring our relationship with Li & Fung, to returning $250 million to stockholders through stock repurchases, to making term loan repayments totaling $250 million. We also took a disciplined approach to inventory management by leveraging our dynamic supply chain and reacting quickly in a fast-moving environment to preserve and expand our gross margins. As we drive our business forward, we plan to leverage our healthy balance sheet to make sound investment decisions. Our capital allocation strategy will continue to focus on reinvesting in our brands, assuming more direct control over select Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licensed businesses that we believe are additive to our business model, and opportunistically paying down debt and repurchasing stock. Additionally, we are well-positioned to make acquisitions that can enhance our business, whether from a financial, operational or talent perspective. As I think about the strength of our teams, our brands and our platforms, I believe that PVH is in a powerful position to deliver a sustainable trajectory of long-term growth and make positive impacts on our industry. Our strategic priorities will continue to serve as our guidelines for growth and I look forward to PVH seizing the significant opportunities that it has ahead of it.

A N N U A L R E P O R T Y E a r i n r E V i E W 1 1 Calvin Klein ALVIN KLEIN experienced continued global C momentum during 2017. This was the first full year under the creative direction of raf Simons, Chief Creative officer, and we were able to begin leveraging the brand’s growing fashion relevance attributable to raf’s cohesive creative vision across the CALVIN KLEIN brand portfolio. We made significant investments to drive consumer engagement and deliver an enhanced brand experience across all consumer touch points – from our stores to our wholesale presentations and across the digital spectrum. As part of the brand evolution, we drove awareness through CALVIN KLEIN’s social media-powered marketing campaigns. For Spring 2017, we embarked on a brand journey to capture cultural moments and communicate with consumers through more of an artistic lens. The campaign featured iconic CALVIN KLEIN products photographed alongside artistic works by Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Richard Prince and Sterling Ruby. Additionally, our CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR campaign for the season featured the cast of Moonlight, which won “Best Picture” at the Academy Awards®. Beginning in Fall 2017, CALVIN KLEIN took a more commercial approach, with the relaunch of the highly successful #MYCALVINs campaign that originally debuted in 2014. Under the new moniker, Our Family, #MYCALVINs, the campaign featured families that were both born and made. The families included siblings Kaia and Presley Gerber wearing CALVIN KLEIN JEANs; songwriter and recording/ visual artist Solange alongside her personally curated cast of singers/songwriters, in CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR and CALVIN KLEIN JEANs; and the A$AP Mob hip-hop collective, including A$AP Rocky, in CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR and CALVIN KLEIN JEANs. To drive further momentum for Spring 2018, Calvin Klein enlisted sisters Kim Kardashian West, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner as brand ambassadors for CALVIN KLEIN JEANs and CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR, marking the first time all of the sisters have appeared together in a brand campaign. The video associated with the campaign ranked #1 on the January 2018 YouTube Ads Leaderboard, which is a monthly celebration of the top ads people chose to watch on YouTube. This solidified our view that our leveraging of influencers is driving consumer engagement with the brand’s followers. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P n i E l K n i V l a C 2 1 China continued to be another positive story for Calvin Klein, as consumers responded well to our enhanced product offerings, compelling marketing campaigns and engaging brand ambassadors. The revenue opportunity in China remains significant, as we believe that CALVIN KLEIN is underpenetrated relative to the power of the brand in the market. The Calvin Klein International segment posted exceptional performance, with revenues growing 21%. We are capitalizing on the substantial opportunities to expand our business in Europe and Asia beyond our largest categories, jeans and underwear, by growing men’s, women’s and performance apparel, as well as accessories. We see a powerful multi-year growth trajectory for the brand outside of North America as we deliver on these opportunities. More specifically, we delivered double- digit topline results in Europe, as we continued to execute on our strategic plans for the region and observed strong sell-throughs across channels and product lines, through enhanced product offerings, expanded distribution and market share gains. The broad-based strength across the business highlights the evolution of CALVIN KLEIN into a true lifestyle brand in Europe. We believe that there is the potential to more than double the size of the European business over time to reach the revenue level that we have achieved in the region within our Tommy Hilfiger business. W e also took steps to develop and further commercialize our business under the CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand, our line of high-end apparel and accessories that provides a halo for the other CALVIN KLEIN brands. We sold the collection to new high- end retailers, expanded the line’s availability through digital commerce sites and revamped the CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC Madison Avenue flagship, with a complete floor-to- ceiling installation by Sterling Ruby. Elements of the fashion direction from CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC were flowed through the full range of product lines under each of the CALVIN KLEIN brands, resulting in a more cohesive brand experience. We were proud that Raf was honored as Designer of the Year at the 2017 British Fashion Council’s annual Fashion Awards, as well as winning the Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards for both the Womenswear Designer of the Year and the Menswear Designer of the Year, a feat accomplished only once before – by Mr. Calvin Klein. We were pleased with the multi-year revenue progression in Calvin Klein, as revenues grew 10%, driven by significant growth from our higher- margin international segment. We prudently managed our inventories and re-invested in the business, with a focus on marketing and consumer engagement. We believe that these creative investments are critical for the long-term sustainability of the CALVIN KLEIN brands and will result in positive flow-through in 2018 and beyond. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P n i E l K n i V l a C 4 1 The Calvin Klein North America segment performed in line with our plans. Revenues rose 1%, as healthy growth at wholesale was offset by a 1% comparable store sales decline and the deconsolidation of our Mexico business, which occurred in November 2016 and negatively impacted 2017 Calvin Klein revenues by approximately $60 million. We continued to diversify our business in response to consumer shopping preferences by growing our digital penetration with our wholesale partners, embracing our partnerships with pure play digital commerce retailers and continuing to sell into select specialty apparel retailers that we believe are additive to our business. Our retail business posted a comparable store sales decline in 2017 due to weakness in traffic and consumer spending trends in the U.S., although we saw an improvement in traffic and sales trends in the second half of the year. Investing in our digital platforms globally was a key focus, as we seek to be where the consumer prefers to shop. We grew revenues from our own digital commerce sites, as we worked to increase our personalization efforts, leverage our digital and social media campaigns more effectively, and introduce the capability for consumer product reviews. Calvin Klein also focused on growing its penetration across the digital sites operated by its wholesale customers and pure play digital commerce retailers through strategic relationships with key partners in each market. We developed differentiated partnerships, including the CALVIN KLEIN X Amazon Fashion holiday retail experience, which consisted of a curated #MYCALVINs page on Amazon and pop-up stores in New York City and Los Angeles that were fully integrated with omni-channel capabilities, giving consumers the ability to see online product reviews, access Amazon Echo Look and purchase items directly on the Amazon app. We selectively expanded square footage throughout our markets and made advancements toward the store of the future, with a focus on lifestyle stores in Asia and Europe. We evolved our store experience to entice the experiential younger-minded consumer, including the opening of new CALVIN KLEIN stores in Shanghai and Düsseldorf that feature interactive videos, denim fit guide walls and access to runway show videos and the brand’s official social media platforms. We believe that CALVIN KLEIN is well- positioned to achieve our 2020 vision of establishing it as one of the world’s greatest brands. With one singular vision guiding the design, marketing and consumer engagement initiatives for CALVIN KLEIN, we believe that the brand should gain further mindshare with consumers and convert our investments into ongoing commercial success. We further believe that we can deliver a strong trajectory of growth for the foreseeable future by growing the businesses in Europe and China, gaining share in North America and evaluating the buybacks of various licensed businesses where we have a core competency. P V H C O R P . A N N U A L R E P O R T C a l V i n K l E i n 1 5  ommy hilfiger outperformed during 2017. We executed t on our strategic priorities and delivered compelling brand experiences, which enabled us to gain market share, expand the brand globally, increase sales in our global growth categories and drive our digital businesses. TOMMY HILFIGER celebrated the designer’s affinity for fashion, music, pop culture and entertainment through several high profile collaborations during the year. We focused on driving sales in our global growth categories – women’s apparel, accessories and men’s tailored apparel and underwear – while also engaging new consumers, with a particular focus on attracting a younger consumer. We continued our successful strategic partnership with Gigi Hadid, the global brand ambassador for TOMMY HILFIGER womenswear, with the model co-designing capsule pieces for Spring and Fall 2017. We experienced great success with the relationship, as we experienced momentum in our women’s business globally, as well as a halo effect across other categories. On the men’s side, we enlisted the American pop music/producer duo, The Chainsmokers, as global brand ambassadors for TOMMY HILFIGER menswear beginning in Fall 2017. We also partnered with Hong Kong actor and singer, Shawn Yue, our inaugural local ambassador in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, beginning in Fall 2017. This was the first meaningful collaboration for the brand to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity that we believe exists to expand its presence in Asia. The momentum around our brand marketing should continue, as Tommy Hilfiger announced in early 2018 a multi-year partnership with four-time Formula One® World Champions Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport and that four-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton will appear as the new global brand ambassador for TOMMY HILFIGER menswear. Across all of our endeavors, we maintained TOMMY HILFIGER’s authenticity to deepen our relationships with consumers and capitalize on the enormous strength underlying the brand. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P r E G i F l i h Y m m o T 6 1 P V H C O R P . A N N U A L R E P O R T T o m m Y h i l F i G E r 1 7  he Tommy Hilfiger business t posted an incredible year, growing revenues by 11%. Results were above our expectations, as the health of the brand and the strength of our execution drove improvement across our major markets and categories. Gross margins were impacted favorably by outsized revenue growth in our international segment, combined with improved sell-throughs and inventory management. The Tommy Hilfiger International segment experienced exceptional momentum, with revenues growing 19%. Europe, the brand’s largest market, experienced outstanding performance, as we gained incremental market share, increased sales in our global growth categories and grew our digital presence. While the brand is well-developed in Europe, the broad-based strength across categories and markets speaks to the power and sustainability of TOMMY HILFIGER in the region. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P r E G i F l i h Y m m o T 8 1 We were also pleased to see strong performance in China, as the investments that we made following our April 2016 acquisition of our Tommy Hilfiger joint venture in China are resonating with consumers and driving growth in our business. We took essential steps to engage consumers – from effective marketing campaigns and relevant brand ambassadors, to elevating the in-store experience, to significantly enhancing our digital presence, including improving our own site. We believe there is a substantial growth opportunity in China. We are expanding distribution and seeking to capitalize on category opportunities outside of casual men’s apparel, such as men’s tailored apparel, underwear, accessories and women’s apparel, in an effort to seize upon that opportunity. Our Japan business also performed well, as our efforts to turn around the business have seen great progress. The Tommy Hilfiger North America segment was characterized by strong trends at wholesale and improving trends in our retail business. However, revenues for the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment were flat, as these positives were offset by an approximately $80 million reduction in revenue due to the discontinuation of our directly operated women’s business in the U.S. and Canada in the fourth quarter of 2016 in connection with the licensing of this business to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”). Our wholesale business was a highlight, as we secured additional floor space and experienced broad-based strength across most categories. Additionally, the women’s business, under the license with G-III, performed very well within key accounts, with healthy sell-throughs. We were also encouraged by the acceleration in our retail business, as comparable store sales grew 3%, driven by an improvement in sales to both domestic and international tourist consumers. Advancing our sourcing capabilities, including improving our speed to market, was also a top priority. In furtherance of this goal, we restructured our Li & Fung relationship to enable us to better leverage our existing platforms to develop and source goods. This was a critical step in our strategy to improve speed to market and more timely integration of consumer insights into our new collections, which we believe will be a key opportunity for 2018 and beyond. As we reflect on Tommy Hilfiger’s robust performance in 2017, we are optimistic about the brand’s future potential. We believe that our continued investments further solidify TOMMY HILFIGER’s positioning as one of the world’s leading designer lifestyle brands and we have experienced a tremendous positive impact to its brand awareness and share of voice. We see a significant opportunity to fuel expansion by capitalizing on the regional and category opportunities where the brand is underpenetrated, while also assuming more direct control of various businesses that are currently licensed throughout Asia and Latin America. As we execute on these opportunities, we believe that we can deliver a sustainable trajectory of long-term growth for our stockholders. We also built upon our efforts to deliver a more engaging, integrated and seamless digitized buying experience for our wholesale partners and end-consumers. We advanced our efforts to re-imagine the store of the future, as embodied in the recently renovated TOMMY HILFIGER Regent Street flagship store in London. While the experience will evolve over time and be tailored to each market, this store reflects Tommy Hilfiger’s vision for the future of retailing. Features include product customization, digital walls and “smart mirrors,” which recognize items via RFID tracking, suggest inspiring looks and allow consumers to request styles directly to the fitting room. Additionally, we expanded our digital showroom concept to more markets and began piloting 3-D design capabilities, including using 3-D digital samples, which will reduce the need for physical samples and photography. Building upon Tommy Hilfiger’s leadership role in the “see now, buy now” realm, the TOMMYNOW Spring 2017 fashion show in Venice Beach, California and Fall 2017 fashion show in London provided consumers with the opportunity to purchase items as they were being featured on the runway through tommy.com, as well as in our own stores and through select wholesale partners globally. Our industry-leading efforts are being recognized, as Tommy Hilfiger was featured in the “Flash of Genius” section of L2’s 2017 Digital IQ Index - Fashion U.s. We balanced tradition with innovation by embracing TOMMY HILFIGER’s heritage, while also adopting new technologies. Digital innovation was at the forefront for Tommy Hilfiger; we evolved with our consumer and continued to invest in the overall digital experience. We replatformed tommy.com and solidified our relationships with the global pure play digital commerce retailers, including T-Mall and Zalando. P V H C O R P .

While revenues for our heritage Brands business were flat compared to 2016, we grew its operating margin. We believe that if we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives, we can return to historical levels of profitability over time. Brand management was a highlight for the year and we delivered quality, trend-right products that offered great value to our consumers. We produced engaging marketing campaigns, with a particular focus on driving brand relevance with younger consumers, and communicated our product features through digital, print, point of sale and television advertisements. We enlisted exciting new brand ambassadors, including Olympic gold medalists and champion doubles tennis players, the Bryan Brothers for IZOD, as well as three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Piercy and 2015 PGA Tour champion David Lingmerth for IZOD Golf. We also continued to maximize business in our top volume department and chain store doors by enhancing our merchandising and point of sale marketing. We leveraged strategic new platforms to commercialize our products, including efforts to promote the speedo Fit training program by building relevancy through partnerships with gyms and fitness professionals. P V H C O R P . A N N U A L R E P O R T h E r i T a G E B r a n D S 2 1  roduct innovation was p another focus area, as we launched new technologies and product features that solve common wardrobe and fit issues that consumers experience. We evolved our successful use of stretch features beyond dress shirts, with Van Heusen introducing its stretch Flex offering of suit separates, pants and sport shirts, and IZOD launching the sport Flex sportswear collection, which leveraged a comfortable stretching fabric across many styles of sport shirts, pants, shorts and jeans. The new Van Heusen Air collection also performed well, as consumers responded well to the temperature-activated cooling technology that we featured across the collection of dress shirts, polos and pants. Offering items with these compelling new features helped us capture higher average unit retail prices and experience more full price selling, as consumers were willing to pay a premium for these unique products. We renewed our focus on defending and enhancing our market share positions and continued to secure leading positions in many of the categories our brands operate. Our dress furnishings business improved its profitability by partnering with various department store accounts to reinvent the dress furnishings floor. We improved in-store engagement by creating a more open feel, improving our fixture presentations and cross- merchandising our assortments to drive purchasing across our dress shirt and neckwear offerings. Additionally, Warner’s held the number one market share for average figure bras in department and chain stores in 2017. Expanding our digital presence was another major initiative. We leveraged videos and enhanced our brands’ storytelling across our and our retail customers’ digital commerce platforms to better engage consumers. We increased our online penetration with key department store accounts and our Amazon business performed well, as we expanded core programs and extended color and size offerings. We also took steps to develop a Heritage Brands digital commerce site, which will launch in Summer 2018 and is expected to be additive to our business by reaching a wider consumer base, as well as being a best-in-class presentation for these brands. Our Heritage Brands retail business had a positive year, generating a comparable store sales increase of 2%, while also posting an increase in gross margins. Consumers continued to respond well to our multi-brand offerings, as most stores now feature an assortment of Van Heusen, IZOD Golf and Warner’s product. T R O P E R L A U N N A . P R O C H V P S D n a r B E G a T i r E h 2 2 Our Heritage Brands business, which generates healthy cash flows, continues to be a key contributor to PVH. We believe that there is potential to generate modest topline growth, while improving the profitability of the business as we gain market share, develop new products that contain innovative technologies and leverage our supply chain to produce efficiencies. We will be able to continue to reinvest in our growth initiatives across the organization by capitalizing on these opportunities. We continue to expand our wholesale businesses and implement our strategic plans, while also looking to drive efficiencies across our Heritage Brands business. We managed our inventories prudently, unlocked opportunities through our supply chain, including launching manufacturing capabilities in Ethiopia through our joint venture, and enhanced assortments to drive sell- throughs. Reducing lead times was another focus. We continued to enhance our speed models for select styles to be able to meet demand faster. Looking ahead, we believe that we will be able to leverage our newly acquired True & Co. business to advance our data analytics capabilities, which we believe will be a key asset across our intimates businesses. P V H C O R P . A N N U A L R E P O R T h E r i T a G E B r a n D S 2 3  Corporate responsibility a s an industry leader and one of the largest apparel companies in the world, PVH recognizes that it has a responsibility to address its social and environmental impacts. In response, we have built a comprehensive CR program – from “source to store” – that is focused on worker empowerment, environmental preservation, and community engagement and impact. These three pillars are the foundation of our CR strategy, which aligns with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) through collaboration with key partners, both internally and externally. We see CR as an opportunity to mitigate risk, drive efficiencies and maximize value, and to take a leadership role in moving the industry in a positive direction. We believe our CR program, as embraced by our leadership teams and associates, is a key factor in driving our growth, performance, creativity and success. PVH is committed to providing industry leadership on important issues – through leadership roles in CR organizations, sharing of best practices and leveraging industry tools and approaches. Our strategic focus on transformation, operational excellence and scale is demonstrating results. 2017 was an important year for our CR program. We set a global greenhouse reduction target, implemented additional measures to achieve our 2020 chemical phase- out goal, and took a leadership role on water conservation and stewardship. We also made significant strides relating to inclusion and diversity, with a particular focus on empowering women both within PVH, as well as in our supply chain. We will continue to make progress against our goals, with a laser focus on impact and scale for PVH and the broader apparel industry. pvh continued its position as an industry leader in investing in people and implementing practices to empower workers within our supply chain. PVH believes in creating an inclusive environment where every individual is valued. We launched various Business Resource Groups in 2017, including groups supporting women, LGBTQ associates and working parents, as well as one oriented toward African American associates in 2018. PVH proudly participated in Pride Marches globally, including in New York, where PVH was a Platinum Level Sponsor. Additionally, PVH scored 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2018 Corporate Equality Index. To support the evolving needs of our associates, we introduced flexible work policies and implemented a more progressive parental leave policy in the U.S. Investing in and supporting PVH associates in reaching their full potential was a top priority. We expanded PVH University’s offerings, including our award-winning Leaders as Teachers series and online classes through PVH U OnDemand. We introduced new leadership programs geared toward new managers and launched a “Women Who Lead” panel series encouraging associates to speak about career progression with female leaders. We were proud to be recognized at HR.com’s Leadership Excellence and Development Awards, including being ranked as a top five company for Best Corporate University. P V H C O R P . A N N U A L R E P O R T C o r P o r a T E r E S P o n S i B i l i T Y 2 5 people W e believe that our people are our greatest asset, and that together we can achieve the extraordinary. PVH strengthened its commitment to human rights by including level 2 suppliers1 for the first time in our supply chain-facing CR assessment program. We also expanded our involvement with the UN Better Work Academy, including a groundbreaking pilot to move our supplier program from assessment-focused to value- added and advisory services, underscoring our commitment to SDG 8 and the UN Global Compact principle on Human Rights. Continuing with its strong commitment to the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety, PVH remediated 95% of the outstanding safety concerns in our Bangladesh suppliers’ factories by December 2017. 1 Level 2 suppliers include mills, trim and wet processors. in several countries, PVH signed the UN CEO Water Mandate3, an initiative dedicated to advancing water stewardship and reducing critical water risks, addressing SDG 6. PVH introduced a Global Sustainable Materials Strategy in 2017, focused on three raw materials categories: natural, synthetic and animal-based materials. We launched our first global Animal Welfare Policy, which built upon our existing fur ban. PVH joined the Better Cotton Initiative, a global multi-stakeholder initiative that works with farmers to produce cotton that is measurably better for the environment, to further support Tommy Hilfiger’s existing efforts. We instituted substantive packaging and waste commitments throughout our operations that will be further enhanced as we focus on circularity innovations going forward. We established in 2017 a global target to reduce our direct greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions by 35% by 2030, with a blueprint to explore renewable energy investments and technologies. Beyond our business locations, we enacted measures to reduce our supply chain GHG emissions by rolling out the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s Higg Facility Environmental Module to over 500 strategic suppliers. Transparent disclosure of our environmental footprint is paramount – we participated in the Carbon Disclosure Products Climate Change Survey for the second consecutive year. 2 Previously World Wildlife Fund. 3 Tommy Hilfiger CEO Daniel Grieder co-signed the UN CEO Water Mandate. environMent a clean planet is a shared goal amongst our consumers, within our communities and throughout our business. We strive to develop sustainably conscious practices and products, as we recognize the environmental impacts of our business and industry. We broadened our chemical management focus by mapping our level 2 suppliers, globalizing our Restricted Substance List (“RSL”) and preparing an expanded 2018 Manufacturers RSL. Under several of our owned and licensed brands, 25 million men’s dress shirts now bear the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX label in 2018, a worldwide chemical testing and certification system, signifying all product components are RSL compliant. Alongside our global partnership with WWF2, geared toward ambitious water preservation projects pvh ranks #25 by Forbes and Just Capital on their annual list of Just companies. global ghg inventory MT CO2e GHG Emissions by Scope 2016 2017 Scope 1 Emissions1 Scope 2 Emissions2 37,323 32,690 111,403 107,792 Total GHG Emissions 148,726 140,482 MT CO2e Emission Source 3 Offices Retail Warehouses Vehicles 5 4 2016 2017 14,543 13,909 112,123 102,474 20,092 19,874 3,373 2,820 Total GHG Emissions 148,726 140,482 1 Scope 1 includes direct GHG emissions from natural gas and combustion in boilers, furnaces, and vehicles. 2 Scope 2 includes indirect GHG emissions from consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam. 3 Offices include emissions from showrooms. 4 Warehouses include emissions from distribution centers and from our neckwear factory. 5 Includes fugitive emissions from vehicle refrigerants. philanthropy remained at the heart of our company, principally supporting the needs of women and children.

PVH contributed nearly $24 million4 through corporate donations and fundraising for global, regional and local organizations, in addition to promoting and supporting associate volunteerism. We also continued supporting Save the Children’s early education program work in the U.S., China and Bangladesh, reaching over 18,000 individuals. We launched early education programming in India and youth employment training and development in Ethiopia, as well as partnering with non-profit organizations, including Ronald McDonald House, YMCA, Amsterdam Cares, Christel House, and Changing Young Lives. We were proud to launch the PVH Associate Relief Fund, which provides our associates with an opportunity to provide financial support for one another in times of need. The first use of the fund was Hurricane Maria relief in Puerto Rico where almost all of our associates at our stores were affected by the storm. 4 Includes product contributions, cash contributions, associate pledges, fundraising and retail consumer contributions.

Company Overview We are one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 135 years. We have over 36,000 associates operating in over 40 countries. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including the global designer lifestyle brands CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, as well as Van Heusen, 1 IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, Eagle and True&Co. We also license brands from third parties, including Speedo (licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean), Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Michael Kors Collection, DKNY and Chaps. Our brand portfolio also consists of various other owned, licensed and private label brands. We design and market branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products. Our brands are positioned to sell at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution and regions. This enables us to offer products to a broad range of consumers, while minimizing competition among our brands and reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, merchandise preference, price point, distribution channel or region. We also license our brands to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our partners’ expertise can better serve our brands. During 2017, our directly operated businesses in North America consisted principally of wholesale sales under our CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo, Warner’s and Olga brands; the operation of digital commerce sites under the CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Speedo and True&Co. brands; and the operation of retail stores, principally in premium outlet centers, primarily under our CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER and certain of our heritage brands. Our directly operated businesses outside of North America consisted principally of our wholesale and retail sales in Europe and Asia under our TOMMY HILFIGER brands; our wholesale and retail sales in Europe, Asia and Latin America under our CALVIN KLEIN brands; and the operation of digital commerce sites under the CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands. Our licensing activities principally related to the licensing worldwide of our CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks for a broad array of product categories and for various regions. Our history of growth has been achieved through organic growth, as well as a number of acquisitions and strategic partnerships that have made us a more diversified global organization, with an extensive brand portfolio, retail footprint and distribution network, as well as a large consumer base. These acquisitions included Calvin Klein in 2003, Tommy Hilfiger in 2010, and Warnaco in 2013. We will continue to explore strategic acquisitions of licensed businesses, trademarks and companies that we believe are additive to our overall business. We acquired True & Co., a direct-to-consumer intimate apparel digital commerce retailer on March 30, 2017. This acquisition enables us to participate further in the fast-growing online channel and provides a platform to increase innovation, data-driven decisions and speed in the way we serve our consumers across our channels of distribution. We entered into agreements for a transaction to restructure our supply chain relationship with Li & Fung Trading Limited (“Li & Fung”) on March 20, 2017. Under these agreements, we terminated our non-exclusive buying agency agreement with Li & Fung during the third quarter of 2017 (the “Li & Fung termination”). We formed a joint venture in Mexico (“PVH Mexico”) in which we own a 49% economic interest on November 30, 2016. The joint venture was formed by merging our wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed our Calvin Klein business in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. that distributes certain TOMMY HILFIGER brand products in Mexico. In connection with the formation of PVH Mexico, we deconsolidated our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Mexico deconsolidation”). PVH Mexico licenses from certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries the rights to distribute and sell certain CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brand products in Mexico. We acquired the 55% of the ownership interests in TH Asia, Ltd. (“TH China”), our former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China, that we did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”) on April 13, 2016. As a result of the TH China acquisition, we now operate directly our Tommy Hilfiger business in this high-growth market. We entered into a licensing agreement with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”) for the design, production and wholesale distribution of TOMMY HILFIGER womenswear in the United States and Canada (the “G-III license”) on February 1, 2016, which resulted in the discontinuation of our directly operated Tommy Hilfiger North America womenswear wholesale business in the fourth quarter of 2016. We aggregate our reportable segments into three main businesses: (i) Calvin Klein, which consists of the Calvin Klein North America and Calvin Klein International segments; (ii) Tommy Hilfiger, which consists of the Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments; and (iii) Heritage Brands, which consists of the Heritage Brands Wholesale and Heritage Brands Retail segments. Note 19, “Segment Data,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report contains information with respect to revenue, income before interest and taxes, assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures related to each segment, as well as information regarding our revenue generated from foreign and domestic sources, and the geographic locations where our net property, plant and equipment is held. 2 Our 2017 revenue was $8.9 billion, of which approximately 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global designer lifestyle brands, CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, together generated over 80% of our revenue during 2017. Calvin Klein Business Overview We believe Calvin Klein is one of the best known designer names in the world, exemplifying bold, progressive ideals and a seductive, often minimalist aesthetic. Global retail sales of products sold under the CALVIN KLEIN brands were approximately $9.1 billion in 2017. The CALVIN KLEIN brands provide us with the opportunity to market products both domestically and internationally at various price points, through multiple distribution channels and to different consumer groups.

Our Business Strategy We are one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, with $8.9 billion in revenues in 2017. We see opportunity for growth as we employ our strategic priorities across our organization. Our global growth strategies include: • Driving consumer engagement by investing in brand, product, channel and in-store and online experiences. Innovation in design, product offerings and new categories. Growing our presence where our consumers shop and engage. • Expanding CALVIN KLEIN’s and TOMMY HILFIGER’s worldwide reach and extending direct control over licensed businesses. • Investing in and evolving our operating platforms through system upgrades, consumer data analytics, speed to market improvements, digitalization, supply chain initiatives and centers of excellence. • Developing a talented and skilled organization that embodies our core values by attracting and retaining talent through associate engagement and career growth opportunities. • Generating free cash flow by accelerating topline growth and focusing on margin and working capital opportunities, while maximizing returns. • Making a positive impact on the communities where we work and live. 8 Calvin Klein Business We believe significant growth opportunities exist to drive further global retail sales of CALVIN KLEIN over time, including through: • Enhancing CALVIN KLEIN’s global brand relevance through marketing campaigns and consumer engagement initiatives that are based on consumer insights. • Innovating and driving product improvement and expansion, particularly within denim, accessories and underwear. • Growing and elevating the consumer shopping experience, including digital commerce, specialty stores and travel retail, while opportunistically opening specialized brick and mortar locations and modernizing our presence in department stores. • Expanding globally and extending greater control of the brand by taking back licensed businesses to operate them directly. Tommy Hilfiger Business We believe significant growth opportunities exist to drive further global retail sales of TOMMY HILFIGER over time, including through: • Engaging consumers through marketing campaigns and brand partnerships that are designed to drive growth and reflect TOMMY HILFIGER’s accessible luxury positioning and classic American cool aesthetic. • Innovating and driving category expansion within womenswear, sportswear, accessories, men’s tailored clothing and underwear, as well as other licensing opportunities. • Growing and modernizing the consumer shopping experience, while digitizing Tommy Hilfiger from showrooms to the consumer experience at wholesale, online and at our own stores. • Expanding regionally, particularly in Asia Pacific. Heritage Brands Business Our Heritage Brands business represents our original business, where we developed our core competencies, and is an important complement to our global designer brand businesses. We believe that this business can continue to gain market share and generate healthy cash flows as we execute against our key strategic initiatives, including: • Driving consumer engagement by leveraging and enhancing each brand’s position in the market. • Innovating and offering quality, trend-right products that deliver advanced technologies and features at a great value to our customers. • Growing presence online with the launch of a new directly operated digital commerce site and through pure play digital commerce retailers, as well as increased distribution through wholesale partners (in stores and online). • Pursuing international expansion opportunistically. Other Strategic Opportunities While we believe we have an attractive and diverse portfolio of brands with growth potential, we will continue to explore strategic acquisitions of licensed businesses, trademarks and companies that we believe are additive to our overall business. We take a disciplined approach to acquisitions, seeking brands with broad consumer recognition that we can grow profitably and expand by leveraging our infrastructure and core competencies and, where appropriate, by extending the brand through licensing. 9 Seasonality Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. We expect this seasonal pattern will generally continue. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends. Design Our businesses depend on our ability to stimulate and respond to consumer tastes and demands, as well as on our ability to remain competitive in the areas of quality and delivering a compelling price value proposition. A significant contributor to the continued strength of our brands is our in-house design teams. Each brand employs its own teams of designers and merchandisers that develop products representing our brand aesthetics, while also being mindful of our consumers’ taste, lifestyle needs and current fashion trends. To reflect consumer variances in each of our regional markets, our brands tailor their products to appeal to local tastes, sizing differences or other preferences, while maintaining the cohesive creative vision for each brand. Calvin Klein implemented a global creative strategy to unify all of the CALVIN KLEIN brands under one creative vision during 2016. As part of this strategy, Raf Simons was appointed as Chief Creative Officer of Calvin Klein and is responsible for leading the creative strategy of the brand globally, as well as overseeing all aspects of design, marketing and communications, and visual creative services. Mr. Simons’ first collections for CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC were presented in February 2017 at New York Fashion Week and were available for sale in Fall 2017. Mr. Simons was honored as Designer of the Year at the 2017 British Fashion Council’s annual Fashion Awards and won the Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards for both the Womenswear Designer of the Year and the Menswear Designer of the Year. He also introduced CALVIN KLEIN BY APPOINTMENT, a tribute to the CALVIN KLEIN atelier and the full range of handcrafting skills its artisans offer, from embroidery to tailoring, available exclusively by appointment in New York, New York. Mr. Simons’ team also controls design operations and product development for most licensees and other strategic partners. Product Sourcing Our capabilities for worldwide procurement and sourcing enable us to deliver to our customers competitive and high quality goods at an attractive value and on a timely basis. We have an extensive established network of worldwide sourcing partners that enables us to meet our customers’ needs in an efficient manner and not rely on any one vendor or factory or on vendors or factories in any one country. Our products were produced in over 1,200 factories in approximately 50 countries during 2017. All but two of these factories were operated by independent manufacturers, with most being located in Asia. We source finished products and, to a lesser extent, raw materials and trim. Raw materials and trim include fabric, buttons, thread, labels and similar components. Finished products consist of manufactured and fully assembled products ready for shipment to our customers and our stores. Raw material, trim, and finished product commitments are generally made two to six months prior to production, and quantities are finalized at that time. We believe we are one of the largest users of shirting fabric in the world. We believe that an ample number of alternative suppliers exist should we need to secure additional or replacement production capacity and raw materials. Our purchases from our suppliers are effected through individual purchase orders specifying the price, quantity, delivery date and destination of the items to be produced. Sales are monitored regularly at both the retail and wholesale levels and modifications in production can be made either to increase or reduce inventories. We look to establish long-term supplier relationships in the appropriate locations throughout the world to meet our needs and we place our orders in a manner designed to limit the risk that a production disruption at any one facility could cause a serious inventory problem, while maximizing the business opportunity. The manufacturers of our products are required to meet our quality, human rights, safety, environmental and cost requirements. Our global supply chain teams, offices and buying agents enable us to monitor the quality of the goods manufactured by, and the delivery performance of, our suppliers, and work with our global compliance teams to ensure the enforcement of our human rights and labor standards and other code of conduct requirements through our ongoing extensive training, approval and monitoring system. They also monitor and track the primary cost inputs to the finished product to ensure 10 that we pay the most appropriate cost for our finished goods. We continue to assess our manufacturing footprint to ensure we have the best infrastructure to meet the needs of our global wholesale and retail businesses. We are continuing to make progress on maintaining an agile and data-driven supply chain. We have made advancements to capture additional gross margin opportunities, as we continue to optimize our vendor base to work more closely with long-term strategic partners, focus on core replenishment for select categories and improve our speed to market. We have also optimized our country of origin strategy to maximize regional opportunities. We believe the enhancement of our supply chain efficiencies and working capital management through the effective use of our distribution network and overall infrastructure will allow us to better control costs and provide improved service to our customers. We recently restructured our supply chain relationship with Li & Fung in line with our supply chain priorities. We completed the Li & Fung termination during the third quarter of 2017. In connection with this transaction, we terminated our non-exclusive buying agency agreement with Li & Fung and entered into a new agreement that will allow us to evolve our supply chain, while also building upon our operating platforms to enhance our efficiencies across the organization. We also began producing finished products in Ethiopia during the first half of 2017 to evolve our supply chain and become more dynamic. Production is through a joint venture, PVH Arvind Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”), that we formed with Arvind Limited (“Arvind”). The goods produced are primarily distributed in the United States by our Heritage Brands business. Corporate Responsibility As an industry leader and one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, PVH recognizes its responsibility to address its social and environmental impacts. Further, we recognize the responsibility and opportunity to make positive impacts - from source to store - by empowering the people who work in our supply chain, preserving the environment and supporting our communities. Corporate responsibility is central to how we conduct business and it is a crucial consideration embodied in all of the strategic business decisions that we make. We are committed to making an impact on the people, the environment and the communities where we work and live and communicating our progress transparently to our stakeholders. Our corporate responsibility strategy consists of ten commitments under three key focus areas, which align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, covering issues such as clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, and inclusion and diversity. The three key focus areas are: • Empowering people — We believe that our people are our most valuable asset. We are committed to investing in talent, developing our people and expanding their career development opportunities, while providing an inclusive environment where every individual is valued. We view the workers in our supply chain as an extension of our organization and are committed to partnering with our business partners to protect the human rights of every worker. • • Preserving the environment — We recognize our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment and sustainably manage resources. This means reducing our global greenhouse gas emissions, phasing out hazardous chemicals, safeguarding water resources, innovating towards more sustainable packaging, and sourcing raw materials in a way that respects people, animals and the environment. Supporting communities — We are committed to creating positive change in the communities where we work and live. We aim to support the needs of women and children around the world by creating safe spaces, improving access to education and enhancing quality of life. We invest in local communities through partnerships with non-profit organizations, associate volunteerism and contributions. We issue an annual report on our corporate responsibility efforts that can be found on our corporate website at PVH.com/responsibility. Warehousing, Distribution and Logistics Our products are shipped from manufacturers to our wholesale and retail warehousing and distribution centers for inspection, sorting, packing and shipment. Centers range in size and our main facilities are located in the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, China, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil. Our warehousing and distribution centers are designed to provide responsive service to our customers and our retail stores on a cost-effective basis. 11 We believe that our investments in logistics and supply chain management allow us to respond rapidly to changes in sales trends and consumer demands while enhancing inventory management. We believe our customers can better manage their inventories as a result of our continuous analysis of sales trends, broad array of product availability and quick response capabilities. Certain of our products can be ordered at any time through our basic stock replenishment programs. We generally ship these products within two days of order receipt for customers who reorder these products. Our backlog of customer orders totaled $2.097 billion and $1.377 billion as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively. The size of our order backlog depends upon a number of factors, including the timing of the market weeks for our particular lines during which a significant percentage of our orders are received and the timing of the shipments, which varies from year-to-year with consideration for holidays, consumer trends, concept plans, and the usage of our basic stock replenishment programs. As a consequence, a comparison of the size of our order backlog from period to period may not be meaningful, nor may it be indicative of eventual shipments. Material Customers Our largest customers account for significant portions of our revenue. Sales to our five largest customers were 18.9% of our revenue in 2017, 21.3% of our revenue in 2016 and 22.2% of our revenue in 2015. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in 2017, 2016 or 2015. Advertising and Promotion Our marketing programs are an integral component of our brands and their associated product offerings. Advertisements generally portray a lifestyle representation of our category offerings rather than a specific item. We intend for each of our brands to be a leader in its respective market segment, with strong consumer awareness, relevance and consumer loyalty. We believe that our brands are successful in their respective market segments because we have strategically positioned each brand to target a distinct consumer demographic. We design and market our products to complement each other, satisfy lifestyle needs, emphasize product features important to our target consumers, deliver a strong price/value proposition and encourage consumer loyalty. The largest component of our marketing programs is digital media, including our digital commerce platforms and social media channels, which allow us to expand our reach to customers and enable us to provide timely information in an entertaining fashion to consumers about our products, special events, promotions and store locations. We also advertise through print media (including fashion, entertainment/human interest, business, men’s, women’s and sports magazines and newspapers), on television, through outdoor signage and through in-store point of sale materials, as well as participate in cooperative advertising programs with our retail partners. In addition, we advertise our brands through sport sponsorships and product tie-ins. We believe that our use of influential brand ambassadors across our marketing programs helps drive our brand awareness and cultural relevance. With respect to our retail outlet operations, we generally rely upon local outlet mall developers to promote traffic for their centers. Outlet center developers employ multiple formats, including signage (highway billboards, off-highway directional signs, on-site signage and on-site information centers), print advertising (brochures, newspapers and travel magazines), direct marketing (to tour bus companies and travel agents), radio and television advertising and special promotions. We believe Calvin Klein is one of the best known designer names in the world, exemplifying bold, progressive ideals and a seductive, and often minimalist aesthetic. Its high-profile, often cutting-edge global advertising campaigns have periodically garnered significant publicity, notoriety and conversation among customers and consumers, as well as within the fashion industry, and have helped to establish and maintain the CALVIN KLEIN name and image. Calvin Klein has a dedicated in-house advertising agency, with experienced creative and media teams that develop and execute a substantial portion of the institutional consumer advertising for products under the CALVIN KLEIN brands and work closely with other Calvin Klein departments and business partners to deliver a cohesive and aspirational brand message to the consumer. Calvin Klein maintains multiple showroom facilities and sales offices around the world. Calvin Klein experienced wide success in its global marketing campaigns in 2017, with a continued focus on engaging consumers through provocative, modern, sensual and iconic lifestyle imagery and elevating the brand’s cultural and fashion relevance. The debut of CALVIN KLEIN BY APPOINTMENT, a high luxury tier of product available exclusively by appointment beginning in Spring 2017, featured popular actress Millie Bobby Brown and other celebrities and gave the fashion world its first look at the brand’s cohesive creative vision under Raf Simons. The launch was accompanied by a new advertising campaign, which was featured on calvinklein.com, the brand’s official social media channels, and in print, digital and outdoor advertising in major fashion cities around the world. Calvin Klein launched for Spring 2017 its American Classics 12 campaign, which included works by artist Andy Warhol to capture cultural moments and communicate with consumers through more of an artistic lens. Calvin Klein expanded upon this campaign for Fall 2017 with images featuring the debut CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC collection by Raf Simons photographed by photographer Willy Vanderperre. Beginning in Fall 2017, CALVIN KLEIN took a more commercial approach, with the relaunch of the brand’s highly successful #MYCALVINS campaign that originally debuted in 2014. Under the new moniker, Our Family. #MYCALVINS, the brand featured siblings Kaia and Presley Gerber wearing CALVIN KLEIN JEANS, as well as songwriter and recording/visual artist Solange alongside her personally curated cast of singers/songwriters, amongst other celebrities, such as members of the popular hip-hop collective A$AP Mob, wearing CALVIN KLEIN JEANS and CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR. To drive further momentum for Spring 2018, Calvin Klein enlisted sisters Kim Kardashian West, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner as brand ambassadors for CALVIN KLEIN JEANS and CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR in the brands’ global multi-media campaign, marking the first time all of the sisters were photographed together for a brand. Calvin Klein also has a dedicated in-house global communications team, which incorporates corporate communications, public relations, celebrity dressing and special events. This group coordinates many global events to support the brand and business, including the Spring and Fall CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC runway shows, and oversees the dressing of celebrities for events, award ceremonies and film premieres. We believe that TOMMY HILFIGER is one of the world’s leading designer lifestyle brands and is internationally recognized for celebrating the essence of classic American cool style with a preppy twist. Tommy Hilfiger employs advertising, marketing and communications staff, including an in-house creative team, as well as outside agencies, to implement its global marketing and communications strategy across all channels of distribution. The Tommy Hilfiger marketing and communications team develops and coordinates TOMMY HILFIGER advertising for all regions and product lines, licensees and regional distributors. Advertisements for TOMMY HILFIGER brand products appear primarily in social media outlets, fashion and lifestyle magazines, newspapers, outdoor media and cinema and on television. The digital and online focus of marketing for the TOMMY HILFIGER brands is integral to its campaigns and continues to increase. Additionally, the marketing and communications team coordinates personal appearances by Mr. Tommy Hilfiger, including at runway shows, brand events and flagship store openings as part of its efforts. Tommy Hilfiger maintains multiple showroom facilities and sales offices around the world, more than half of which include innovative digital sales showrooms that have created a more engaging, integrated and seamless digitized buying experience for its wholesale partners. Tommy Hilfiger celebrated in 2017 Mr. Hilfiger’s affinity for music, pop culture, fashion and entertainment through several high profile collaborations during the year. Tommy Hilfiger’s advertising programs focused on driving sales in its global growth categories - women’s apparel, accessories and men’s tailored apparel and underwear - while also engaging new consumers, with a particular focus on attracting a younger consumer. The successful strategic partnership with Gigi Hadid, the global brand ambassador for TOMMY HILFIGER womenswear, continued with the model co-designing capsule pieces for Spring and Fall 2017. Building upon its role in the “see now, buy now” realm, the brand’s TOMMYNOW Spring 2017 fashion show in Venice Beach and Fall 2017 fashion show in London allowed consumers to immediately purchase items featured on the runway through tommy.com, as well as in TOMMY HILFIGER stores and through select wholesale partners globally. Additionally, the TOMMY JEANS Spring and Fall 2017 marketing campaigns featured celebrities, including Gigi Hadid and Sofia Richie. On the menswear side, Tommy Hilfiger continued its successful partnership with Rafael Nadal through the Spring 2017 marketing campaign and enlisted the American pop music/producer duo, The Chainsmokers, as global brand ambassadors for TOMMY HILFIGER menswear for Fall 2017. Tommy Hilfiger also partnered with Hong Kong actor and singer, Shawn Yue, the first local ambassador in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan beginning in Fall 2017. We believe that this was the first meaningful collaboration for the brand to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity that exists to expand its presence in Asia. Additionally, Tommy Hilfiger announced in early 2018 a multi-year partnership with four-time Formula One World Champions Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport and that four-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton will appear as the new global brand ambassador for TOMMY HILFIGER menswear. These partnerships build upon the efforts to expand the brand’s global recognition and bring TOMMY HILFIGER to new audiences, as well as further drive the global growth of Tommy Hilfiger’s menswear business. Tommy Hilfiger’s digital commerce site, tommy.com, and Calvin Klein’s digital commerce site, calvinklein.com, serve as marketing vehicles to complement the ongoing development of the TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN lifestyle brands, respectively, in addition to offering a broad array of apparel and licensed products. We delivered engaging marketing campaigns for our Heritage Brands business in 2017, with a particular focus on driving brand relevance with younger consumers, and communicated our product features through digital, print, point of sale 13 and television advertisements. The Van Heusen Flex Collection was supported by point of sale signage and print advertising to communicate the breadth of the collection and key product features. We also advertised the Warner’s No Side Effects and Cloud 9 bras and True&Co. True Body Collection bras on television during 2017. Additionally, we leveraged strategic new platforms to commercialize Heritage Brands products, including efforts to develop the Speedo Fit training program by building relevancy through partnerships with personal trainers, gyms and fitness professionals. We also advertised our Heritage Brands business through sport sponsorships. Three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Piercy and 2015 PGA Tour champion David Lingmerth serve as brand ambassadors for IZOD Golf, which includes wearing IZOD Golf apparel on-course, and Olympic gold medalists and champion tennis players the Bryan Brothers serve as brand ambassadors for IZOD. Speedo is endorsed by world-class swimmers, including Missy Franklin and Nathan Adrian. These athletes exclusively wear Speedo products in competition, including throughout the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2017 World Championships, and participate in various promotional activities on behalf of the brand. In addition, we have an all-brand, regional sponsorship agreement with the New York Giants. Trademarks We own the CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Eagle brands, as well as related trademarks (e.g., the interlocking “IZ” logo for IZOD and the TOMMY HILFIGER flag logo and crest design) and lesser-known names. These trademarks are registered for use in each of the primary countries where our products are sold and additional applications for registration of these and other trademarks are made in jurisdictions to accommodate new marks, uses in additional trademark classes or additional categories of goods or expansion into new countries. We own the CALVIN KLEIN marks and derivative marks in all trademark classes and for all product categories through our Calvin Klein and Warnaco subsidiaries’ ownership of the Calvin Klein Trademark Trust (“the Trust”), which is the sole and exclusive title owner of substantially all registrations of the CALVIN KLEIN trademarks. The sole purpose of the Trust is to hold these marks. Calvin Klein maintains and protects the marks on behalf of the Trust. The Trust licenses to Calvin Klein and Warnaco on an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free basis the use of the marks. Mr. Calvin Klein retains the right to use his name, on a non-competitive basis, with respect to his right of publicity, unless those rights are already being used in the Calvin Klein business. Mr. Klein has also been granted a royalty-free worldwide right to use the CALVIN KLEIN mark with respect to certain personal businesses and activities, subject to certain limitations designed to protect the image and prestige of the CALVIN KLEIN brands and to avoid competitive conflicts. Mr. Tommy Hilfiger is prohibited in perpetuity from using, or authorizing others to use, the TOMMY HILFIGER marks (except for the use by Mr. Hilfiger of his name personally and in connection with certain specified activities). In addition, we are prohibited in perpetuity from selling products not ordinarily sold under the names of prestige designer businesses or prestige global lifestyle brands without Mr. Hilfiger’s consent, from engaging in new lines of business materially different from such types of lines of business without Mr. Hilfiger’s consent, or from disparaging or intentionally tarnishing the TOMMY HILFIGER-related marks or Mr. Hilfiger’s personal name. Our trademarks are the subject of registrations and pending applications throughout the world for use on a variety of apparel, footwear and related products, and we continue to expand our worldwide usage and registration of new and related trademarks. In general, trademarks remain valid and enforceable as long as the marks continue to be used in connection with the products and services with which they are identified and, as to registered tradenames, the required registration renewals are filed. In markets outside of the United States, particularly those where products bearing any of our brands are not sold by us or any of our licensees or other authorized users, our rights to the use of trademarks may not be clearly established. Our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are valuable assets and we vigorously seek to protect them on a worldwide basis against infringement. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights. This is especially the case with respect to the CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands, as these brands enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and their generally higher pricing (as compared to our heritage brands) provides significant opportunity and incentive for counterfeiters and infringers. We have broad, proactive enforcement programs that we believe have been generally effective in controlling the sale of counterfeit products in the United States and in major markets abroad. 14 Competition The apparel industry is competitive as a result of its fashion orientation, mix of large and small producers, low barriers to entry, the flow of domestic and imported merchandise and the wide diversity of retailing methods. We compete with numerous domestic and foreign designers, brands, manufacturers and retailers of apparel, accessories and footwear, including, in certain circumstances, the private label brands of our wholesale customers. Additionally, with the shift in consumer shopping preferences driving growth in the digital channel, there are more companies in the apparel sector and an increased level of transparency in pricing and product comparisons, which impacts purchasing decisions. We compete primarily on the basis of style, quality, price and service. Our business depends on our ability to stimulate consumer tastes and demands, as well as on our ability to remain competitive in these areas. We believe we are well-positioned to compete in the apparel industry. Our diversified portfolio of brands and products and our use of multiple channels of distribution have allowed us to develop a business that produces results that are not dependent on any one demographic group, merchandise preference, distribution channel or region. We have developed a portfolio of brands that appeals to a broad spectrum of consumers. Our owned brands have long histories and enjoy high recognition and awareness within their respective consumer segments. We develop our owned and licensed brands to complement each other and to generate strong consumer loyalty. The CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands generally provide us with the opportunity to develop businesses that target different consumer groups at higher price points and in higher-end distribution channels than our heritage brands, as well as with significant global opportunities due to the worldwide recognition of the brands. Imports and Import Restrictions A substantial portion of our products is imported into the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America. These products are subject to various customs laws, which may impose tariffs, as well as quota restrictions. In addition, each of the countries in which our products are sold has laws and regulations covering imports. The United States and other countries in which our products are sold may impose, from time to time, new duties, tariffs, surcharges, or other import controls or restrictions, including the imposition of a “safeguard quota,” or adjust presently prevailing duty or tariff rates or levels. We, therefore, maintain a program of intensive monitoring of import restrictions and developments. We seek to minimize our potential exposure to import related risks through, among other measures, adjustments in product design and fabrication, shifts of production among countries, including consideration of countries with tariff preference and free trade agreements, and manufacturers, and geographical diversification of our sources of supply. Environmental Matters Our facilities and operations are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In addition, we may incur liability under environmental statutes and regulations with respect to the contamination of sites that we own or operate or previously owned or operated (including contamination caused by prior owners and operators of such sites, abutters or other persons) and the off-site disposal of hazardous materials. We believe our operations are in compliance with the terms of all applicable laws and regulations and our compliance with these laws and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, cash flows, earnings or competitive position. Employees As of February 4, 2018, we employed approximately 19,600 persons on a full-time basis and approximately 16,900 persons on a part-time basis. Approximately 2% of our employees were represented for the purpose of collective bargaining by four different unions in the United States. Additional persons, some represented by these four unions, are employed from time to time based upon our manufacturing schedules and retailing seasonal needs. Our collective bargaining agreements generally are for one to three-year terms. In some international markets, a significant percentage of employees are covered by governmental labor arrangements. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. 15 Executive Officers of the Registrant The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of our executive officers: Name Age Position Emanuel Chirico Michael A.

Item 1A. Risk Factors The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K when evaluating our business and the forward-looking statements contained within this report. The occurrence of one or more of the circumstances or events described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may occur or become material and may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. A substantial portion of our revenue and gross profit is derived from a small number of large wholesale customers and the loss of any of these customers or significant financial difficulties in their businesses could substantially reduce our revenue. A few of our customers account for significant portions of our revenue. Sales to our five largest customers were 18.9% of our revenue in 2017, 21.3% of our revenue in 2016 and 22.2% of our revenue in 2015. No single customer accounted for 16 more than 10% of our revenue in 2017, 2016 or 2015. Macy’s announced in 2016 plans to close approximately 100 stores, of which 82 were closed during 2017 and 2016. J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J. C. Penney”) closed 139 locations in 2017 and announced plans to close eight additional stores in 2018. These store closings resulted in a decrease in the total amount of purchases made by Macy’s and J. C. Penney, two of our ten largest customers in 2017. A continued decline in purchases made over the next several years could have a materially adverse effect on our United States wholesale business. We have an agreement with Macy’s pursuant to which Macy’s is the exclusive department store distributor in the United States of men’s sportswear under the TOMMY HILFIGER brand; G-III, a licensee of the TOMMY HILFIGER brand, has a similar arrangement with Macy’s for women’s sportswear under the TOMMY HILFIGER brand. The term of our agreement ends on January 31, 2020. As a result of these strategic alliances, the success of Tommy Hilfiger’s North American men’s wholesale business and our licensed women’s wholesale business with G-III are substantially dependent on this relationship and on the ability of Macy’s to maintain and increase sales of TOMMY HILFIGER products. In addition, the United States men’s and women’s businesses may be affected by any operational or financial difficulties that Macy’s experiences, including any deterioration in the overall ability of Macy’s to attract customer traffic or in its overall liquidity position. We do not have long-term agreements with any of our customers, other than Tommy Hilfiger’s strategic alliance with Macy’s, and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis. A decision by any of our major customers, whether motivated by marketing strategy, competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to decrease significantly the amount of merchandise purchased from us or our licensing or other partners, or to change their manner of doing business with us or our licensing or other partners, could substantially reduce our revenue and materially adversely affect our profitability. During the past several years, the retail industry has experienced a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes, as well as management changes and store closing programs, and we expect such changes to be ongoing. In addition, store closings by our customers, such as those described above, decrease the number of stores carrying our products, while the remaining stores may purchase a smaller amount of our products and may reduce the retail floor space designated for our brands. In the future, retailers may further consolidate, undergo restructurings or reorganizations, realign their affiliations or reposition their stores’ target markets or marketing strategies. Any of these types of actions could decrease the number of stores that carry our products or increase the ownership concentration within the retail industry. These changes could decrease our opportunities in the market, increase our reliance on a smaller number of large customers and decrease our negotiating strength with our customers. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to continue to develop and grow our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses in terms of revenue and profitability. A significant portion of our business strategy involves growing our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses. Our achievement of revenue and profitability growth from Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger will depend largely upon our ability to: • • • • continue to maintain and enhance the distinctive brand identities of the CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands; retain key employees at our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses; continue to maintain good working relationships with Calvin Klein’s and Tommy Hilfiger’s licensees; continue to enter into new, or renew or extend existing, license agreements for the CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands; and • continue to strengthen and expand the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses. We cannot assure you that we can successfully execute any of these actions or our growth strategy for these businesses, nor can we assure you that the launch of any additional product lines or businesses by us or our licensees or that the continued offering of these lines will achieve the degree of consistent success necessary to generate profits or positive cash flow. Our ability to successfully carry out our growth strategy may be affected by, among other things, our ability to enhance our relationships with existing customers to obtain additional selling space or add additional product lines, our ability to develop new relationships with retailers, economic and competitive conditions, changes in consumer spending patterns and changes in consumer tastes and style trends. If we fail to continue to develop and grow the Calvin Klein or Tommy Hilfiger business in terms of revenue and profitability, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. 17 The success of our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses depends on the value of our “CALVIN KLEIN” and “TOMMY HILFIGER” brands, and if the value of either of those brands were to diminish, our business could be adversely affected. Our success depends on our brands and their value. The CALVIN KLEIN name is integral to the existing Calvin Klein business, as well as to our strategies for continuing to grow and expand the business. The CALVIN KLEIN brands could be adversely affected if Mr. Klein’s public image or reputation were to be tarnished. We have similar exposure with respect to the TOMMY HILFIGER brands. Mr. Hilfiger, who remains active in the business, is closely identified with the TOMMY HILFIGER brand and any negative perception with respect to Mr. Hilfiger could adversely affect the TOMMY HILFIGER brands. In addition, under Mr. Hilfiger’s employment agreement, if his employment is terminated for any reason, his agreement not to compete with the Tommy Hilfiger business will expire two years after such termination. Although Mr. Hilfiger could not use any TOMMY HILFIGER trademark in connection with a competitive business, his association with a competitive business could adversely affect the Tommy Hilfiger business. Our retail stores are heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to travel and shop. We have retail stores located near vacation destinations and the majority of our United States retail stores are located away from major residential centers. As a result, reduced travel resulting from economic conditions, fuel shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns and other circumstances, including adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, disease epidemics and other health-related concerns, war, terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of war or terrorist attacks could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if such events impact certain of our higher-volume retail locations. Additionally, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Brazilian real, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan renminbi, as was the case during 2015 and 2016, international tourism to the United States could be (and, in 2015 and 2016, was) reduced, as could the extent to which international tourists shop at our retail stores, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales in our United States retail stores, which are material contributors of revenue and profits. Other factors that could affect the success of our stores include: • • • • • • • the location of the store or mall, including the location of a particular store within the mall; the other tenants occupying space at the mall; increased competition in areas where the stores are located; the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the store or mall; the changing patterns of consumer shopping behavior; increased competition from online retailers; and the diversion of sales from our retail stores due to our digital commerce business. Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits, cost savings and synergies. One component of our growth strategy has been to make acquisitions, such as the Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Warnaco acquisitions. Prior to completing any acquisition, our management team identifies expected synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities but, due to legal and business limitations, we may not have access to all necessary information. The integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming. The potential difficulties of integrating the operations of an acquired business and realizing our expectations for an acquisition, including the benefits that may be realized, include, among other things: • • • • • • failure to implement our business plan for the combined business; delays or difficulties in completing the integration of acquired companies or assets; higher than expected costs, lower than expected cost savings or a need to allocate resources to manage unexpected operating difficulties; unanticipated issues in integrating manufacturing, logistics, information, communications and other systems; unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations affecting the acquired business; unanticipated changes in the combined business due to potential divestitures or other requirements imposed by antitrust regulators; 18 • • • • • • • retaining key customers, suppliers and employees; retaining and obtaining required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits; operating risks inherent in the acquired business; diversion of the attention and resources of management; consumers’ failure to accept product offerings by us or our licensees; assumption of liabilities not identified in due diligence; the impact on our or an acquired business’ internal controls and compliance with the requirements under the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002; and • other unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities. We have completed acquisitions that have not performed as well as initially expected and cannot assure you that any acquisition will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Future economic conditions, including volatility in the financial and credit markets may adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in the past have adversely affected, and in the future may adversely affect, our business, our customers and their businesses, and our financing and other contractual arrangements. Such conditions, among other things, have resulted, and in the future may result, in financial difficulties leading to restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers, and may continue to cause such customers to reduce or discontinue orders of our products or be unable to pay us for products they have purchased from us. Financial difficulties of customers may also affect the ability of our customers to access credit markets or lead to higher credit risk relating to receivables from customers. Future volatility in the financial and credit markets could make it more difficult for us to obtain financing or refinance existing debt when the need arises or on terms that would be acceptable to us. Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and control regulations. Our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways: a translation impact and a transaction impact. The translation impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our financial results, as our operating results in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our operating results will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Brazilian real, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Indian rupee, the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. A transaction impact on financial results is common for apparel companies operating outside the United States that purchase goods in United States dollars, as is the case with most of our foreign operations. As with translation, our operating results will be impacted as fluctuations of the United States dollar change the local currency value of inventory, which results in a change in the cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain intercompany transactions and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk in connection with our licensing businesses. Most of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensee’s local currency but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not generally exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. In addition, certain of our other foreign license agreements expose us to exchange rate changes up to the date we collect payment or convert local currency payments into United States dollars. As 19 a result, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be negatively impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted. During 2015 and 2016, our results were negatively impacted significantly by the strong United States dollar. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes. During times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we could be required to use a greater portion of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We conduct business, directly or through licensees and other partners, in countries that are or have been subject to exchange rate control regulations and have, as a result, experienced difficulties in receiving payments owed to us when due, with amounts left unpaid for extended periods of time. Although the amounts to date have been immaterial to our results, as our international businesses grow and if controls are enacted or enforced in additional countries, there can be no assurance that such controls would not have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our level of debt could impair our financial condition and ability to operate. We had outstanding as of February 4, 2018 an aggregate of $3.086 billion of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities, our senior unsecured notes and our secured debentures. Our level of debt could have important consequences to investors, including: • • • • • requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations be used for the payment of interest on our debt, thereby reducing the funds available to us for our operations or other capital needs; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate because our available cash flow after paying principal and interest on our debt may not be sufficient to make the capital and other expenditures necessary to address these changes; increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions because, during periods in which we experience lower earnings and cash flow, we will be required to devote a proportionally greater amount of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our debt; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, contributions to our pension plans and general corporate requirements; placing us at a competitive disadvantage to other relatively less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments, contributions to pension plans and general corporate requirements; and • with respect to any borrowings we make at variable interest rates, including under our senior secured credit facilities, leaving us vulnerable to increases in interest rates to the extent the borrowings are not subject to an interest rate swap agreement. We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations. The majority of our apparel and footwear products are produced by and purchased or procured from independent manufacturers located in countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, the Caribbean, Central America and Africa. Although no single supplier or country is expected to be critical to our production needs, any of the following could materially and adversely affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and, as a result, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations: • • • political or labor instability or military conflict involving any of the countries in which we, our contractors, or our suppliers operate, which could cause a delay in the transportation of our products and raw materials to us and an increase in transportation costs; heightened terrorism security concerns, which could subject imported or exported goods to additional, more frequent or more thorough inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundments of goods for extended periods or could result in decreased scrutiny by customs officials for counterfeit goods, leading to lost sales, increased costs for our anti- counterfeiting measures and damage to the reputation of our brands; a significant decrease in availability or increase in cost of raw materials or the inability to use raw materials produced in a country that is a major provider due to political, human rights, labor, environmental, animal cruelty or other concerns; 20 • • • • a significant decrease in factory and shipping capacity or increase in demand for such capacity; a significant increase in wage and shipping costs; natural disasters, which could result in closed factories and scarcity of raw materials; disease epidemics and health-related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas; • migration and development of manufacturers, which could affect where our products are or are planned to be produced; • • • imposition of regulations, quotas and safeguards relating to imports and our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations, which, among other things, could limit our ability to produce products in cost-effective countries that have the labor and expertise needed; imposition of duties, taxes and other charges on imports; and restrictions on transfers of funds out of countries where our foreign licensees are located. The United States government recently indicated its intention to impose significant tariffs on goods imported from China into the United States. China is the largest sourcing country of apparel, footwear and accessories for us and most of our licensees. We imported approximately $400 million of inventory into the United States from China in 2017. Enactment of such a proposal on apparel, footwear and accessories imported from China into the United States would result in an increase in our cost of goods sold for that product. We may not be able to shift production of inventory bound for the United States from China to other countries or pass the entire cost increase onto consumers, or could choose not to. Any increase in prices to consumers could have an adverse impact on our direct sales to consumers, as well as sales by our wholesale customers and our licensees. Any adverse impact on such sales or increase in our cost of goods sold could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If our manufacturers, the manufacturers used by our licensees, or our licensees themselves fail to use legal and ethical business practices, our business could suffer. We require our manufacturers, the manufacturers used by our licensees and the licensees themselves to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance. Additionally, we impose upon our business partners operating guidelines that require additional obligations in those areas in order to promote ethical business practices. We audit, or have audited by third parties, the operations of these independent parties to determine compliance. We are a signatory of the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh to improve fire and building safety in Bangladesh’s apparel factories and we continue to collaborate with factories, suppliers, industry participants and other engaged stakeholders to improve the lives of our factory workers and others in our sourcing communities. However, we do not control our manufacturers, the manufacturers used by our licensees, or our licensees themselves, or their labor, manufacturing and other business practices. If any of these manufacturers or licensees violates labor, environmental, building and fire safety, or other laws or implements labor, manufacturing or other business practices that are generally regarded as unethical in the United States, the shipment of finished products to us could be interrupted, orders could be canceled and relationships could be terminated. In addition, we could be the focus of adverse publicity and our reputation could be damaged. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and, consequently, our results of operations. We are dependent on third parties to source and manufacture our products and any disruption in our relationships with these parties or in their businesses may materially adversely affect our businesses. We rely upon independent third parties for the manufacturing of the vast majority of our apparel and footwear products. A manufacturer’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those products. As a result, customers could cancel their orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices. Any of these actions taken by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and, consequently, our results of operations. We use third party buying offices for a portion of our product sourcing. Any interruption in the operations of these buying offices, or the failure of these buying offices to perform effectively their services for us, could result in material delays, reductions of shipments and increased costs. Furthermore, such events could harm our wholesale and retail relationships. Any disruption in our relationships with these buying offices or in their businesses could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition and results of operations. 21 We are dependent on a limited number of distribution facilities. If one becomes inoperable, our business, financial condition and operating results could be negatively impacted. We operate a limited number of distribution facilities and also rely on certain independently operated distribution facilities around the world to warehouse and ship products to our customers and our own retail stores, as well as perform related logistics services. Our ability to meet the needs of our retail customers and of our own retail stores depends on the proper operation of our primary facilities. If any of our primary facilities were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason, we could have a substantial loss of inventory or disruptions of deliveries to our customers and our stores, incur significantly higher costs or experience longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products during the time it takes to reopen or replace the facility. This could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. A portion of our revenue is dependent on royalties and licensing. The operating profit associated with our royalty, advertising and other revenue is significant because the operating expenses directly associated with administering and monitoring an individual license or similar agreement are minimal. Therefore, the loss of a significant licensee, whether due to the termination or expiration of the relationship, the cessation of the licensee’s operations or otherwise (including as a result of financial difficulties of the licensee), without an equivalent replacement, could materially impact our profitability. While we generally have significant control over our licensees’ products and advertising, we rely on them for, among other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses. Our licensees’ failure to successfully market licensed products or our inability to replace our existing licensees could materially and adversely affect our revenue both directly from reduced royalty, advertising and other revenue received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products. Risks are also associated with our licensees’ ability to obtain capital, execute their business plans, timely deliver quality products, manage their labor relations, maintain relationships with their suppliers, manage their credit risk effectively and maintain relationships with their customers. Our licensing business makes us susceptible to the actions of third parties over whom we have limited control. We rely on our licensees to preserve the value of our brands. Although we attempt to protect our brands through, among other things, approval rights over design, production quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion of our products, we cannot assure you that we can control our licensees’ use of our brands. The misuse of our brands by a licensee could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing on our intellectual property rights, especially with respect to the CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brands, as they enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition and the generally premium pricing of CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER brand products creates additional incentive for counterfeiters and infringers. Imitation or counterfeiting of our products or infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands or otherwise adversely affect our revenue. We cannot assure you that the actions we take to establish and protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to invalidate our trademarks or block sales of our products as a violation of their own trademarks and intellectual property rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of ours or in marks that are similar to ours or marks that we license or market or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, there may be trademark owners who have prior rights to our marks because the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In other cases, there may be holders who have prior rights to similar marks. For example, in the past we were involved in proceedings relating to a company’s claim of prior rights to the IZOD mark in Mexico and to another company’s claim of prior rights to the CALVIN KLEIN mark in Chile. We are currently involved in opposition and cancellation proceedings with respect to marks similar to some of our brands, both domestically and internationally. 22 The success of our dress furnishings business is dependent on the strategies and reputation of our licensors. Our business strategy is to offer our products on a multiple brand, multiple channel and multiple price point basis. This strategy is designed to provide stability should market trends shift. As part of this strategy we license the names and brands of recognized designers and celebrities, including Kenneth Cole and Michael Kors. In entering into these license agreements, we target our products towards certain market segments based on consumer demographics, design, suggested pricing and channel of distribution in order to minimize competition between our own products and maximize profitability. If any of our licensors determines to “reposition” a brand we license from them, introduce similar products under similar brand names or otherwise change the parameters of design, pricing, distribution, target market or competitive set, we could experience a significant downturn in that brand’s business, adversely affecting our sales and profitability. In addition, as products may be personally associated with these designers and celebrities, our sales of those products could be materially and adversely affected if any of those individual’s images, reputations or popularity were to be negatively impacted. We face intense competition in the apparel industry. Competition is intense in the apparel industry. We compete with numerous domestic and foreign designers, brand owners, manufacturers and retailers of apparel, accessories and footwear, some of which have greater resources than we do. We also face increased competition from online retailers in the digital channel, which is characterized by low barriers to entry. In addition, in certain instances, we compete directly with our wholesale customers, as they also sell their own private label products in their stores and online. We compete within the apparel industry primarily on the basis of: • anticipating and responding to changing consumer tastes, demands and shopping preferences in a timely manner and developing attractive, quality products; • maintaining favorable brand recognition, including an increased focus on digital brand engagement and social media presence; • • • • appropriately pricing products and creating an acceptable value proposition for customers; providing strong and effective marketing support; ensuring product availability and optimizing supply chain efficiencies with third party manufacturers and retailers; and obtaining sufficient retail floor space at retail and effective presentation of our products at retail and on our digital commerce sites. The failure to compete effectively or to keep pace with rapidly changing markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we misjudge the market for our products, we could be faced with significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for others. Our profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins. The apparel industry, particularly in the United States (our largest market), is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition, consolidation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers and changes in consumer demand. These factors may cause us to reduce our sales prices to retailers and consumers, which could cause our profitability to decline if we are unable to appropriately manage inventory levels or offset price reductions with sufficient reductions in product costs or operating expenses. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. If we are unable to manage our inventory effectively and accurately forecast demand for our products, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We have made investments in our supply chain management systems and processes that enable us to respond more rapidly to changes in sales trends and consumer demands and enhance our ability to manage inventory. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to anticipate and respond successfully to changing consumer tastes and style trends or economic conditions and, as a result, we may not be able to manage inventory levels to meet our future order requirements. If we fail to accurately forecast consumer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product required to meet demand. Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which could have a material adverse effect on the reputation of our brands and our profitability. If we underestimate consumer demand for our products, we may not be able to have produced for us enough product to meet 23 consumer requirements in a timely manner, which could result in lost revenues, as well as damage to our reputation and relationships. The loss of members of our executive management and other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend on the services and management experience of our executive officers, who have substantial experience and expertise in our business. We also depend on other key executives in various areas of our businesses and operations. Competition for qualified personnel in the apparel industry is intense and competitors may use aggressive tactics to recruit our key employees. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on us. A significant shift in the relative sources of our earnings, adverse decisions of tax authorities or changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flow. We have direct operations in many countries and the applicable tax rates vary by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate could be materially affected by the relative level of earnings in the various taxing jurisdictions to which our earnings are subject. In addition, the tax laws and regulations in the countries where we operate may be subject to change, as evidenced by the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Legislation”) enacted in December 2017 that will significantly change the way we are taxed. Moreover, there may be changes from time to time in interpretation and enforcement of tax law. As a result, we may pay additional taxes if tax rates increase or if tax laws, regulations or treaties in the jurisdictions where we operate are modified by the competent authorities in an adverse manner. The Tax Legislation requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required in United States tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the new law, and the accumulation of information not previously required or regularly produced. The United States Department of the Treasury could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the Tax Legislation should be applied or otherwise administered that may be different from our interpretation. As we complete our analysis of the Tax Legislation, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments in 2018 to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 during the measurement period as allowed by the SEC that may materially impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made. In addition, various national and local taxing authorities periodically examine us and our subsidiaries. The resolution of an examination or audit may result in us paying more than the amount that we may have reserved for a particular tax matter, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition and results of operations for any affected reporting period. We and our subsidiaries are engaged in a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s length terms and that proper transfer pricing documentation is in place, which should be respected for tax purposes, the transfer prices and conditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities, which could result in additional tax liabilities. If we are unable to fully utilize our deferred tax assets, our profitability could be reduced. Our deferred income tax assets are valuable to us. These assets include tax loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. Realization of deferred tax assets is based on a number of factors, including whether there will be adequate levels of taxable income in future periods to offset the tax loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in jurisdictions where such assets have arisen. Valuation allowances are recorded in order to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in the future. In assessing the adequacy of our valuation allowances, we consider various factors including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, forecasted future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies. These factors could reduce the value of the deferred tax assets, which could have a material effect on our profitability. We rely significantly on information technology. Our businesses could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach. Our ability to manage and operate our business effectively depends significantly on information technology systems. The failure of any system to operate effectively or disruption in these systems could adversely impact our operations. The implementation of new systems also involves risks and uncertainties that could cause disruptions, delays or deficiencies that 24 could adversely impact our operations. In addition, intended improvements may not be realized. These risks pertain to both our systems and those of our business partners and service providers. Our reliance on information technology also pertains to security breaches involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information, as well as the ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations. There have been significant developments in the area of data privacy and cybersecurity and significant new laws are continuously being enacted and proposed around the world. In some instances, these laws and regulations could cause us to change the way we operate, including in a less efficient manner, in order to comply with local requirements. Additionally, the loss or ransoming of data and systems could disrupt our business, severely damage our reputation and our relationships with consumers, expose us to risks of litigation and liability, and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Volatility in securities markets, interest rates and other economic factors could substantially increase our defined benefit pension costs and liabilities. We have significant obligations under our defined benefit pension plans. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent on many factors, including returns on invested plan assets and the discount rate used to measure pension obligations. Unfavorable returns on plan assets, a lower discount rate or unfavorable changes in the applicable laws or regulations could materially change the timing and amount of pension funding requirements, which could reduce cash available for our business. Our operating performance also may be significantly impacted by the amount of expense recorded for our pension plans. Pension expense recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses, which can be significant, that are recorded immediately in pension expense, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our operating results. Our balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill. A decline in the estimated fair value of an intangible asset or of a reporting unit could result in an impairment charge recorded in our operating results, which could be material. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Also, we review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of our goodwill or an other intangible asset was to exceed its fair value, the asset would be written down to its fair value, with the impairment charge recognized as a noncash expense in our operating results. Adverse changes in future market conditions or weaker operating results compared to our expectations may impact our projected cash flows and estimates of weighted average cost of capital, which could result in a potentially material impairment charge if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets. As of February 4, 2018, we had approximately $3.835 billion of goodwill and $3.727 billion of other identifiable intangible assets on our balance sheet, which together represented 64% of our total assets. No impairment was recorded in 2017 based on our annual goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests. Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws and Delaware General Corporation Law could make it more difficult to acquire us and may reduce the market price of our common stock. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain certain provisions, including provisions requiring supermajority voting (80% of the outstanding voting power) to approve certain business combinations, permitting the Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Board and authorizing the Board to issue shares of preferred stock without approval of our stockholders. These provisions could also have the effect of deterring changes of control. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. 25 Item 2.

The Board of Directors’ authorization was effective through June 3, 2018. On March 21, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a $750 million increase to the program and extended it to June 3, 2020. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, restrictions under our debt arrangements, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. (2) Our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan provides us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirements by tendering previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the fourth quarter of 2017 principally in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements, in addition to the shares repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program discussed above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report. We are one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 135 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo (licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited), Warner’s, Olga and True&Co. Our brand portfolio also consists of various other owned, licensed and private label brands. Our business strategy is to position our brands to sell globally at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer products to a broad range of consumers, while minimizing competition among our brands and reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, product category, price point, distribution channel or region. We also license our brands to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our licensees’ expertise can better serve our brands. Our revenue was $8.915 billion in 2017, of which approximately 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global designer lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN, together generated over 80% of our revenue. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operations Overview We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, including through digital commerce sites operated by our wholesale partners and pure play digital commerce retailers, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) over 1,650 Company-operated free-standing retail store locations worldwide under our CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER and certain of our heritage brands, (b) over 1,400 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites in certain countries under our CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks and in the United States through our SpeedoUSA.com and TrueandCo.com digital commerce sites. Additionally, we generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. We manage our operations through our operating divisions, which are presented as six reportable segments: (i) Calvin Klein North America; (ii) Calvin Klein International; (iii) Tommy Hilfiger North America; (iv) Tommy Hilfiger International; (v) Heritage Brands Wholesale; and (vi) Heritage Brands Retail. The United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Legislation is comprehensive and significantly revises the United States tax code. The revisions expected to significantly impact us are (i) the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, including the resulting remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the recognition of a valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits, (ii) the imposition of a one-time transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated and (iii) the implementation of a modified territorial tax system. The Tax Legislation resulted in a one-time net tax benefit of $53 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, consisting of a $265 million benefit primarily from the remeasurement of our net United States deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by a $38 million valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits and a $174 million transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated. Our effective income tax rate for 2017 reflects provisional estimates for the Tax Legislation. As we complete our analysis of the Tax Legislation, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, and other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments in 2018 to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 under the measurement period allowed by the SEC. 30 During the last three years, we have entered into the following transactions, which have impacted our results of operations and comparability among years: • We issued on December 21, 2017 €600 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. We redeemed on January 5, 2018 our $700 million principal amount of 4 1/2% senior notes due December 15, 2022 (using the proceeds of the senior notes due December 15, 2027) and recorded pre-tax debt extinguishment charges of $24 million. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. • We amended on December 20, 2017 Mr. Tommy Hilfiger’s employment agreement, pursuant to which we made a cash buyout of a portion of the future payment obligation (the “Mr. Hilfiger amendment”). We recorded pre-tax charges of $83 million in 2017 in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment. • We acquired on September 1, 2017 the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein wholesale and concessions businesses in Belgium and Luxembourg from a former agent (the “Belgian acquisition”). As a result of this acquisition, we now operate directly our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses in this region. The total consideration for the acquisition was $14 million, consisting of $12 million paid in cash and $2 million included in accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018, which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2018. • We acquired on March 30, 2017 True & Co., a direct-to-consumer intimate apparel digital commerce retailer. This acquisition enables us to participate further in the fast-growing online channel and provides a platform to increase innovation, data-driven decisions and speed in the way we serve our consumers across our channels of distribution. The total consideration for the acquisition was $28 million, net of $400,000 of cash acquired. • We restructured our supply chain relationship with Li & Fung in a transaction that closed on September 30, 2017. Our non-exclusive buying agency agreement with Li & Fung was terminated in connection with this transaction. We recorded pre-tax charges of $54 million in 2017 in connection with the Li & Fung termination. • We completed the relocation of our Tommy Hilfiger office in New York in 2017 and recorded related pre-tax charges of $19 million, including noncash depreciation expense. • We purchased a group annuity in 2017 for certain participants of our retirement plans under which certain of our benefit obligations were transferred to an insurer. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $9 million in connection with the noncash settlement of such benefit obligations. • We consolidated our warehouse and distribution network in North America in 2017 and recorded related net pre-tax charges of $8 million, which included a $3 million gain on the sale of a warehouse and distribution center in the fourth quarter of 2017. • We entered into an agreement on January 24, 2017 to terminate the license for the Tommy Hilfiger men’s tailored clothing business in North America held by Marcraft Clothes, Inc. effective December 31, 2017 (the “TH men’s tailored license termination”). Peerless Clothing International, Inc. became the licensee for the business effective January 1, 2018. These transactions were undertaken in order to consolidate with Peerless Clothing International, Inc. our men’s tailored businesses for all of our brands in North America. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $11 million in 2016 in connection with the TH men’s tailored license termination. • We formed on November 30, 2016 a joint venture in Mexico, PVH Mexico, in which we own a 49% economic interest. The joint venture was formed by merging our wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed our Calvin Klein business in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Grupo Axo”) that distributes certain TOMMY HILFIGER brand products in Mexico. In connection with the formation of PVH Mexico, we deconsolidated our wholly owned subsidiary. We recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $82 million in 2016 in connection with the Mexico deconsolidation. • We, along with Arvind, formed PVH Ethiopia on June 29, 2016, in which we own a 75% interest. We have consolidated the joint venture in our consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for us for distribution primarily in the United States. The manufacturing facility began operations in the first half of 2017. 31 • We issued on June 20, 2016 €350 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. • We amended on May 19, 2016 our senior secured credit facilities and recorded pre-tax debt modification and extinguishment charges of $16 million. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. • We acquired on April 13, 2016 the 55% of the ownership interests in TH China, our former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China, that we did not already own. As a result of the TH China acquisition, we now operate directly our Tommy Hilfiger business in this high-growth market. The total consideration for the acquisition was $161 million (including the elimination of a $3 million pre-acquisition receivable owed to us by TH China), net of cash acquired of $105 million. We recorded a net pre-tax gain of $70 million in 2016, including a noncash gain of $153 million to write-up our equity investment to fair value prior to the acquisition closing and costs of $83 million, which primarily consisted of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets. We recorded pre-tax charges of $27 million in 2017, primarily consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets. We expect to incur additional pre- tax charges of approximately $25 million during 2018 in connection with the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets. • We exited a TOMMY HILFIGER flagship store in Europe in 2016 and recorded a pre-tax gain of $18 million in connection with a payment made to us. • In connection with the integration of Warnaco and the related restructuring, we recorded pre-tax charges of $10 million and $73 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. • We implemented initiatives to rationalize the Heritage Brands business, including the exit from our Izod retail business (completed in the third quarter of 2015) and the discontinuation of several licensed product lines in the dress furnishings business. We recorded pre-tax charges of $3 million and $17 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, principally in connection with the discontinuation of several licensed product lines in the dress furnishings business. We recorded pre-tax charges of $10 million in 2015 in connection with the operation of and exit from our Izod retail business. Our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Amounts recorded in local foreign currencies are translated back to United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Our international revenue and earnings are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Approximately 50% of our 2017 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation. The United States dollar began to strengthen against most major currencies in the latter part of 2014, resulting in a negative impact on our results of operations for 2015 and 2016. The United States dollar began to weaken against most major currencies during 2017 and we currently expect that this will result in a favorable impact on our 2018 revenues and earnings as compared to 2017. Additionally, there is a transaction impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. As with translation, our earnings will be impacted as fluctuations of the United States dollar change the local currency value of inventory, which results in a change in the cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transaction impact. The contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. These contracts are generally entered into 12 months in advance of the related inventory purchases. Therefore, the impact of fluctuations of the United States dollar on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts may be realized in our earnings in the year following their inception, as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. As such, the unfavorable impact of a strengthening United States dollar against most major currencies in the latter part of 2014 and through 2016, particularly the euro, negatively impacted our gross margin during 2016, and, to a much lesser extent, during 2017. There is also a transaction impact related to changes in SG&A expenses as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro- denominated senior notes, as the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the carrying amount of these euro-denominated senior notes that we issued in the United States as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings at the end of each period is recorded in equity. 32 Retail comparable store sales discussed below refer to sales for retail stores that have been open for at least 12 months. Sales for retail stores that are closed during the year are excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales. Sales for retail stores that are either relocated, materially altered in size or closed for a certain number of consecutive days are also excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales until such stores have been in their new location or in their newly renovated state for at least 12 months. Sales from our Company-operated digital commerce sites are included within retail comparable store sales for those businesses and regions that have operated the related digital commerce site for at least 12 months. Retail comparable store sales are based on local currencies and comparable weeks and, therefore, exclude an extra week in 2017, as our 2017 fiscal year included 53 weeks of operations. The following table summarizes our income statements in 2017, 2016 and 2015: (Dollars in millions) Net sales Royalty revenue Advertising and other revenue Total revenue Gross profit % of total revenue SG&A % of total revenue Debt modification and extinguishment costs Other noncash gain, net Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates Income before interest and taxes Interest expense Interest income Income before taxes Income tax (benefit) expense Net income Less: Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest Net income attributable to PVH Corp. 2017 2016 2015 $ $ 8,439 366 109 8,915 4,894 54.9% 4,248 47.7% 24 — 10 632 128 6 510 (26) 536 (2) 538 $ $ 7,791 321 91 8,203 4,370 53.3% 3,637 44.3% 16 71 0 789 121 6 674 125 549 0 549 $ $ 7,605 325 90 8,020 4,162 51.9% 3,418 42.6% — — 17 761 117 4 647 75 572 — 572 Total Revenue Total revenue was $8.915 billion in 2017, $8.203 billion in 2016 and $8.020 billion in 2015. The increase in revenue of $712 million in 2017 as compared to 2016 was due principally to the effect of the following items, inclusive of a 53rd week in 2017: • The addition of an aggregate $326 million of revenue attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included an addition of approximately $49 million related to the impact of foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 21% (including a 3% positive foreign currency impact), driven by continued strength in Europe and China. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales increased 6%. Revenue in the Calvin Klein North America segment increased 1%, principally due to growth in the wholesale business and an increase in royalty revenue, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $60 million resulting from the Mexico deconsolidation and a 1% decline in comparable store sales. • The addition of an aggregate $382 million of revenue attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included an addition of approximately $73 million related to the impact of foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue increased 19% (including a 4% positive foreign currency impact), driven principally by outstanding performance in Europe and Asia, as well as the inclusion of a full first quarter of revenue from the China business as a result of the TH China acquisition in April 2016. Tommy Hilfiger International comparable store sales increased 8%. Revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment was flat, as a reduction of approximately $75 million resulting from the discontinuation of our directly operated womenswear wholesale business in the United States and Canada during the fourth quarter of 2016 in connection with 33 the licensing of this business to G-III, offset growth in the retail business. Tommy Hilfiger North America comparable store sales increased 3%. • The addition of an aggregate $3 million of revenue attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments. Comparable store sales increased 2%. The increase in revenue of $183 million in 2016 as compared to 2015 was due principally to the net effect of the following items: • The addition of an aggregate $213 million of revenue attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a reduction of approximately $53 million related to the impact of foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 12% (including a 3% negative foreign currency impact) due principally to significant growth in Europe and China. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales increased 6%. Revenue in the Calvin Klein North America segment increased 3% (including a 1% negative foreign currency impact), driven principally by strong growth in the wholesale business, partially offset by a revenue decrease due to the Mexico deconsolidation and a 4% decrease in comparable store sales, primarily driven by declines in traffic and consumer spending in Calvin Klein’s United States stores located in international tourist locations. • The net addition of $141 million of revenue attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a reduction of approximately $43 million related to the impact of foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue increased 11% (including a 2% negative foreign currency impact), driven principally by strong growth across Europe, including a 9% increase in comparable store sales, and the inclusion of the revenue of the China business after completion of the TH China acquisition. Revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 4% principally due to a 9% decline in comparable store sales, driven by weak traffic and consumer spending in Tommy Hilfiger’s United States stores located in international tourist locations. • The reduction of an aggregate $171 million of revenue attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments. The decrease was primarily due to the business rationalization initiatives discussed in the section entitled “Operations Overview” above, partially offset by a 7% increase in comparable store sales. We currently expect that revenue will increase 7% in 2018 compared to 2017, inclusive of a positive impact of approximately 3% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to increase approximately 9% compared to 2017, inclusive of a positive impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to increase approximately 8% compared to 2017, inclusive of a positive impact of approximately 4% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for our Heritage Brands business is expected to be flat compared to 2017. Gross Profit Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, such as inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs and inspection costs. Also included as cost of goods sold are the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward exchange contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in SG&A expenses. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities. 34 The following table shows our revenue mix between net sales and royalty, advertising and other revenue, as well as our gross margin for 2017, 2016 and 2015: Components of revenue: Net sales Royalty, advertising and other revenue Total Gross margin 2017 2016 2015 94.7% 5.3 100.0% 54.9% 95.0% 5.0 100.0% 53.3% 94.8% 5.2 100.0% 51.9% Gross profit in 2017 was $4.894 billion, or 54.9% of total revenue, as compared to $4.370 billion, or 53.3% of total revenue, in 2016. The 160 basis point increase in gross margin was principally driven by (i) a favorable mix of business due to faster growth in our Calvin Klein International and Tommy Hilfiger International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher gross margins, (ii) gross margin improvements in our North America segments due to less promotional selling, and (iii) gross margin improvements related to the Mexico deconsolidation and the G-III license, as the directly operated businesses in Mexico and the directly operated Tommy Hilfiger wholesale womenswear business in the United States and Canada were replaced by royalty revenues from PVH Mexico and G-III, which carry no cost of goods sold. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the stronger United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory resulted in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods were sold. Gross profit in 2016 was $4.370 billion, or 53.3% of total revenue, as compared to $4.162 billion, or 51.9% of total revenue, in 2015. The 140 basis point increase in gross margin was principally driven by (i) a favorable mix of business due to revenue growth in our higher-margin Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses and revenue contraction in our lower-margin Heritage Brands business, (ii) the addition of TH China, which achieved a significantly higher gross margin than the average gross margin for our overall business, and (iii) gross margin improvements in our North America segments, principally in the second half of the year, due to decreased promotional selling resulting from lower inventory levels as compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the stronger United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory resulted in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods were sold. We currently expect that gross margin in 2018 will increase as compared to 2017 due to (i) the impact of expected faster growth in our Calvin Klein International and Tommy Hilfiger International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher gross margins and (ii) the favorable impact of the expected weaker United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. SG&A Expenses Our SG&A expenses were as follows: (Dollars in millions) SG&A expenses % of total revenue 2017 2016 2015 $ $ 4,248 47.7% $ 3,637 44.3% 3,418 42.6% SG&A expenses in 2017 were $4.248 billion, or 47.7% of total revenue, as compared to $3.637 billion, or 44.3% of total revenue in 2016. The 340 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to (i) a change in the mix of business due to faster growth in our Calvin Klein International and Tommy Hilfiger International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of revenue, (ii) the costs incurred in connection with the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, (iii) the costs incurred in connection with the Li & Fung termination, (iv) an increase in marketing expenditures, particularly in the Calvin Klein business, (v) an increase in corporate expenses due, in part, to investments in digital and sourcing initiatives, including start-up costs associated with PVH Ethiopia, (vi) the costs incurred in connection with the relocation of our Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense, (vii) the absence of the gain recorded in 2016 in connection with a payment made to us to exit a TOMMY HILFIGER flagship store in Europe, (viii) the costs incurred in connection with the 35 consolidation within our warehouse and distribution network in North America and (ix) an increase in retirement plan expense resulting from actuarial losses recorded in 2017 compared to the actuarial gain in 2016 (please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion). These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction of costs incurred in connection with the TH China acquisition, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets, (ii) the absence of the costs incurred in connection with the TH men’s tailored license termination and (iii) the absence of costs incurred in connection with the Warnaco integration and related restructuring. SG&A expenses in 2016 were $3.637 billion, or 44.3% of total revenue, as compared to $3.418 billion, or 42.6% of total revenue in 2015. The 170 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to (i) the costs incurred in connection with the TH China acquisition, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets, (ii) a change in the mix of business due to the revenue growth in our higher- expense Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses and revenue contraction in our lower-expense Heritage Brands business and (iii) an increase in marketing expenditures and investments associated with the CALVIN KLEIN creative team leadership changes. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction of costs incurred in connection with the Warnaco integration and related restructuring and (ii) a decrease in retirement plan expense resulting from an increase in the actuarial gain recorded in 2016 compared to 2015 (please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion). We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue in 2018 will decrease as compared to 2017 due to the absence of costs incurred in 2017 in connection with (i) the Mr. Hilfiger amendment, (ii) the Li & Fung termination, (iii) the relocation of our Tommy Hilfiger office in New York, including noncash depreciation expense, and (iv) the consolidation within our warehouse and distribution network in North America. Additionally, our expectation of 2018 SG&A expenses does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss associated with our retirement plans, while our 2017 SG&A expenses included a $9 million loss recorded in connection with the noncash settlement of certain of our benefit obligations related to our retirement plans as a result of a group annuity purchased for certain participants. These decreases will be partially offset by a change in the mix of business due to faster growth in our Calvin Klein International and Tommy Hilfiger International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of total revenue. Our actual 2018 SG&A expenses may be significantly different than our projections because of expenses associated with our retirement plans. Retirement plan expenses recorded throughout the year are calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our operating results. Debt Modification and Extinguishment Costs We incurred costs totaling $24 million in 2017 in connection with the early redemption of our $700 million 4 1/2% senior notes due December 15, 2022. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. We incurred costs totaling $16 million in 2016 in connection with the amendment of our senior secured credit facilities. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. Other Noncash Gain, Net We recorded a pre-tax noncash gain of $153 million in 2016 to write-up our equity investment in TH China to fair value in connection with the TH China acquisition. Please see Note 2, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. We recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $82 million in 2016 in connection with the Mexico deconsolidation. Please see Note 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was $10 million in 2017 as compared to $100,000 during 2016 and $17 million during 2015. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from our joint ventures for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in China (prior to the TH China acquisition on April 13, 2016), India and Brazil, for the CALVIN KLEIN 36 brand in India, for the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands in Australia, and for the CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brands in Mexico (since the formation of PVH Mexico on November 30, 2016). Also included is our share of income (loss) from our investments in the parent company of the Karl Lagerfeld brand (“Karl Lagerfeld”) and, beginning in the third quarter of 2016, in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”), our joint venture partner in Australia. Our investments in the continuing joint ventures, Karl Lagerfeld and Gazal are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Please see the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2016 included a one-time expense of $6 million recorded on our equity investment in TH China prior to the acquisition closing. The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2015 included a one-time gain of $2 million on our equity investment in Karl Lagerfeld. Interest Expense, Net Net interest expense increased to $122 million in 2017 from $115 million in 2016 primarily due to the net impact of the issuance of €350 million euro-denominated 3 5/8% senior notes in June 2016 and increases in short-term borrowings and interest rates as compared to 2016, partially offset by long-term debt repayments made during 2017 and 2016. Please see the section entitled “Financing Arrangements” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. Net interest expense increased to $115 million in 2016 from $113 million in 2015 as the positive impacts from long- term debt repayments made during 2016 and 2015 and the amendment of our senior secured credit facilities in the second quarter of 2016 were more than offset by the negative impacts of the interest rate swap that commenced in February 2016 to convert a portion of our variable rate debt under our term loans to fixed rate debt and the issuance of €350 million euro- denominated 3 5/8% senior notes in June 2016. Please see the section entitled “Financing Arrangements” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion. Net interest expense in 2018 is currently expected to be approximately $120 million compared to $122 million in 2017. Income Taxes Income tax expense was as follows: (Dollars in millions) Income tax (benefit) expense Income tax (benefit) expense as a % of pre-tax income 2017 2016 2015 $ $ (26) (5.1)% $ 125 18.6% 75 11.6% We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. All of the international jurisdictions in which we file tax returns, with the exception of Japan, had lower statutory tax rates than the United States statutory tax rate during 2015, 2016 and in 2017 prior to enactment of the Tax Legislation. A substantial amount of our earnings come from our international operations, particularly in the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China and Canada. The lower statutory income tax rates in these jurisdictions, as compared to the United States statutory rate prior to the Tax Legislation, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of our jurisdictional activities, significantly reduced our consolidated effective income tax rate during 2017, 2016 and 2015. As a result of the Tax Legislation, the United States statutory income tax rate was reduced from 35.0% to 21.0%, effective January 1, 2018. Therefore, our United States statutory income tax rate for 2017 was a blended rate of 33.7%. Our effective income tax rate for 2017 was lower than the United States statutory rate primarily due to (i) the provisional net one- time benefit of $53 million recorded in connection with the Tax Legislation, which resulted in a benefit to our 2017 effective income tax rate of 10.4%, consisting of a $265 million benefit primarily from the remeasurement of our net United States deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by a $38 million valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits and a $174 million transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated, (ii) the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns and (iii) the overall benefit of certain discrete items, including the favorable impact on certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions and an excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options by our Chief Executive Officer, which resulted in benefits to our effective income tax rate of 7.5% and 3.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for 2017 was (5.1)% compared with 18.6% in 2016. The 2017 effective income tax rate was significantly lower than the effective income tax rate for 2016 primarily due to (i) the impact of the Tax Legislation in 37 2017, which resulted in a benefit to our 2017 effective income tax rate of 10.4%, (ii) a favorable change in our uncertain tax positions activity of 3.8%, (iii) an excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options by our Chief Executive Officer, which resulted in a benefit to our 2017 effective income tax rate of 3.0%, and (iv) faster growth in our international pre-tax earnings as compared to our domestic pre-tax earnings. These favorable impacts to our effective income tax rate for 2017 were partially offset by the absence of a 5.7% benefit to our 2016 effective income tax rate related to the pre-tax gain recorded to write-up our equity investment in TH China to fair value. The effective income tax rate for 2016 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns. Also contributing to the lower effective income tax rate for 2016 was the benefit of discrete items, including the lower tax rate applicable to the pre-tax gain recorded to write- up our equity investment in TH China to fair value that resulted in a 5.7% benefit to our effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate for 2015 was lower than the United States statutory rate principally due to the benefit of lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns and the benefits primarily related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions, as well as the expiration of the statute of limitations related to other uncertain tax positions. We currently expect that our effective income tax rate in 2018 will be in a range of 14.5% to 15.5%. This projection includes our provisional estimates for the Tax Legislation. These estimates are subject to adjustment in 2018, including as a result of changes in the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 during the measurement period allowed by the SEC, as regulatory guidance needs to be issued related to the Tax Legislation and as we complete our final analysis of the impacts of the Tax Legislation. Further, at this time it is unknown whether the states in which we operate will conform to the Tax Legislation or adopt an alternative regime. In 2018, the United States statutory income tax rate will be 21.0% for the full year, whereas in 2017, our United States statutory income tax rate was a blended rate of 33.7%, which reflected a partial year rate reduction from 35.0% to 21.0%. Our expectation that our effective income tax rate in 2018 will be lower than the United States statutory income tax rate is principally due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns. Our current expectation that the effective income tax rate in 2018 will increase compared to 2017 is primarily due to (i) the absence of a 10.4% benefit to our 2017 effective income tax rate related to the Tax Legislation, (ii) the absence of a 3.0% benefit to our 2017 effective income tax rate resulting from an excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options by our Chief Executive Officer and (iii) an anticipated unfavorable change in our uncertain tax positions activity, partially offset by (i) the full year benefit of the 21.0% United States statutory income tax rate and (ii) faster growth in our international pre-tax earnings as compared to our domestic pre-tax earnings. Despite the change in the United States statutory income tax rate, we currently expect that statutory income tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns will continue to be lower than the United States statutory income tax rate as a result of lower statutory rates and the benefit of special rates levied on income from certain jurisdictional activities. We expect to benefit from these special rates until 2023. Our tax rate is affected by many factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, discrete events arising from specific transactions, and audits by tax authorities or the receipt of new information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions. Please refer to Note 9, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest We have consolidated the results of PVH Ethiopia, in which we own a 75% interest, in our consolidated financial statements. The net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest was $2 million in 2017 compared to an immaterial amount in 2016. We currently expect that the net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest for 2018 will be immaterial. Please refer to Note 6, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. 38 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flow Summary Cash and cash equivalents at February 4, 2018 was $494 million, a decrease of $236 million from the amount at January 29, 2017 of $730 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) $250 million of long-term debt repayments, (ii) $249 million of common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program, (iii) a $28 million payment made in connection with the acquisition of True & Co., net of $400,000 of cash acquired, and (iv) a $12 million payment made in connection with the Belgian acquisition. Cash flow in 2018 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, including expected debt repayments of approximately $250 million and common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of $200 million to $250 million in 2018. As of February 4, 2018, approximately $371 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Legislation, our undistributed foreign earnings were considered permanently reinvested and, as such, United States federal and state income taxes were not previously recorded on these earnings. As a result of the Tax Legislation, we recorded a provisional charge in 2017 related to the one-time transition tax on our earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated in the amount of $174 million. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the Tax Legislation on our permanent reinvestment assertion under the measurement period allowed by the SEC. Operations Cash provided by operating activities was $700 million in 2017 compared to $956 million in 2016. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities as compared to the prior year was primarily driven by changes in working capital, including an increase in inventories principally driven by our expected sales growth in the first quarter of 2018 and the timing of inventory receipts as compared to the prior year period due to the inclusion of a 53rd week of operations in 2017, as well as an increase in prepaid expenses due to the inclusion of the 53rd week. Capital Expenditures Our capital expenditures in 2017 were $358 million compared to $247 million in 2016. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily driven by expenditures related to (i) upgrading and enhancing our operating, supply chain and logistics systems and our digital commerce platforms and (ii) the relocation of our Tommy Hilfiger office in New York. We currently expect that capital expenditures for 2018 will increase to approximately $450 million, including a shift in the timing of capital expenditures into 2018 from 2017, and will primarily include expenditures related to (i) upgrading and enhancing our operating, supply chain and logistics systems and our digital commerce platforms and (ii) the renovation and expansion of our administrative offices in New York and Amsterdam. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates We own a 50% economic interest in a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”). PVH Australia licenses from our subsidiaries the rights to distribute and sell certain CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER and Van Heusen brand products in Australia, New Zealand and, in the cases of CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, other island nations in the South Pacific. Additionally, subsidiaries of PVH Australia license other trademarks for certain product categories. We made net payments of $21 million (of which $20 million was placed into an escrow account prior to the end of 2014) to PVH Australia during 2015 to contribute our share of the joint venture funding for the period. We received dividends of $3 million and $1 million from PVH Australia during 2017 and 2016, respectively. We acquired approximately 10% of the outstanding capital stock of Gazal, which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, in 2016 for $9 million. We acquired additional capital stock for $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, increasing our ownership interest in Gazal to approximately 20%. Gazal is our joint venture partner in PVH Australia. We received dividends of $1 million from Gazal during 2017. We acquired a 51% economic interest in a joint venture, Calvin Klein Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“CK India”) in 2013. We sold 1% of our interest for $400,000 during the fourth quarter of 2017, decreasing our economic interest in CK India to 50%. Prior to the sale, we were not deemed to hold a controlling interest in CK India as the shareholders agreement provided the partners with equal rights. CK India licenses from our subsidiary the rights to the CALVIN KLEIN trademarks in India for certain product categories. We made payments of $2 million, $2 million and $4 million to CK India during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to contribute our share of the joint venture funding. 39 We own a 50% economic interest in a joint venture, Tommy Hilfiger Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“TH India”). TH India licenses from one of our subsidiaries the rights to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks in India for certain product categories. Arvind, our joint venture partner in PVH Ethiopia and CK India, is also our joint venture partner in TH India. We made payments of $3 million to TH India during 2017 to contribute our share of the joint venture funding. We acquired a 40% economic interest in a joint venture, Tommy Hilfiger do Brasil S.A. (“TH Brazil”) in 2012. We acquired approximately 1% additional interest for $300,000 during the fourth quarter of 2017, increasing our economic interest in TH Brazil to approximately 41%. TH Brazil licenses from one of our subsidiaries the rights to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks in Brazil for certain product categories. We made payments of $3 million, $2 million and $2 million to TH Brazil during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to contribute our share of the joint venture funding. We issued a note receivable to TH Brazil in 2016 for $12 million, of which $6 million was repaid in 2016 and the remaining balance, including accrued interest, was repaid in 2017. We and Grupo Axo formed a joint venture, PVH Mexico, in 2016 in which we own a 49% economic interest. PVH Mexico licenses from certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries the rights to distribute and sell certain CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brand products in Mexico. PVH Mexico was formed by merging our wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed the Calvin Klein business in Mexico (the “Mexico business”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Axo that distributes certain TOMMY HILFIGER brand products in Mexico. In connection with the formation of PVH Mexico, we deconsolidated the Mexico business and began accounting for our 49% interest under the equity method of accounting in 2016. We made payments of $7 million to PVH Mexico during 2016 to contribute our share of the joint venture funding. Please see Note 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Loan to a Supplier Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of our finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which we entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $14 million for the development and operation of a fabric mill. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2026. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of (i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) London Interbank Borrowing Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.00% thereafter. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $14 million as of both February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. Acquisition of the Wholesale and Concessions Businesses in Belgium and Luxembourg We completed the Belgian acquisition on September 1, 2017. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration was $14 million, consisting of $12 million paid in cash and $2 million included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018, which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2018. Please see Note 2, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Acquisition of True & Co. We acquired True & Co. on March 30, 2017. We paid $28 million, net of $400,000 of cash acquired, as cash consideration for this transaction. Please see Note 2, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Acquisition of TH China We completed the TH China acquisition on April 13, 2016. Prior to this acquisition, we had a 45% interest in TH China, which we accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We paid $158 million, net of cash acquired of $105 million, as cash consideration for this transaction. Please see Note 2, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion. Tommy Hilfiger India Contingent Purchase Price Payments We reacquired in 2011 the rights in India to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks that had been subject to a perpetual license previously granted to GVM International Limited. We were required to make annual contingent purchase price 40 payments based on a percentage of sales of TOMMY HILFIGER products in India in excess of an agreed upon threshold during each of six consecutive 12-month periods immediately following the acquisition, with the final payment made in 2017. We made contingent purchase price payments of approximately $1 million in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015. Calvin Klein Contingent Purchase Price Payments In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we are obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales (as defined in the acquisition agreement, as amended) of products bearing any of the CALVIN KLEIN brands with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein have been made are wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other partners to retailers. Such contingent purchase price payments totaled $56 million, $53 million and $51 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The final payment due to Mr. Klein will be made in the second quarter of 2018, 45 days subsequent to our applicable quarter end. Sale of Assets We sold a building in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2017 for $3 million in connection with the consolidation within our warehouse and distribution network in North America. One of our European subsidiaries sold a building in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2016 for €15 million (approximately $17 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the sale). Dividends Our common stock currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share. Dividends on common stock totaled $12 million in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015. We currently project that cash dividends on our common stock in 2018 will be approximately $12 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 4, 2018, our estimate of stock to be issued during 2018 under our stock incentive plans and our estimate of stock repurchases during 2018. Acquisition of Treasury Shares Our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million three-year stock repurchase program effective June 3, 2015. On March 21, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a $750 million increase to the program and extended it to June 3, 2020. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, restrictions under our debt arrangements, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, we purchased 2.2 million, 3.2 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $250 million, $315 million and $126 million, respectively. Purchases of $2 million were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018. The repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $558 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases as of February 4, 2018. Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld principally in conjunction with the settlement of vested restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements. 41 Financing Arrangements Our capital structure was as follows: (In millions) Short-term borrowings Current portion of long-term debt Capital lease obligations Long-term debt Stockholders’ equity February 4, 2018 20 $ — 16 3,061 5,536 January 29, 2017 19 $ — 16 3,197 4,804 In addition, we had $494 million and $730 million of cash and cash equivalents as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively. Short-Term Borrowings We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities” below. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. Additionally, we have the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $91 million based on exchange rates in effect on February 4, 2018 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. As of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, we had $20 million and $19 million outstanding under these facilities, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017 was approximately 1.19% and 1.40%, respectively. Capital Lease Obligations Our cash payments for capital lease obligations totaled $5 million, $7 million and $8 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities We have senior secured credit facilities due May 19, 2021 (the “2016 facilities”) that consist of a $2.347 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (a) a $475 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (b) a $25 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars and (c) a €186 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen or Swiss francs. Borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at variable rates calculated in a manner as described below. The senior secured revolving credit facilities also include amounts available for letters of credit. A portion of each of the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facilities is also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. We had prior senior secured credit facilities outstanding through May 19, 2016 (the “2014 facilities”), which were amended by the 2016 facilities in the second quarter of 2016. Among other things, this amendment provided for (i) us to borrow an additional $582 million principal amount of loans under the Term Loan A facility, (ii) the repayment of all outstanding loans under the previously outstanding Term Loan B facility with the proceeds of the additional loans under the Term Loan A facility, and (iii) the termination of the Term Loan B facility. We paid debt issuance costs of $11 million (of which $5 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $6 million is being amortized over the term of the related debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $11 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs. We had loans outstanding of $1.792 billion, net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs, under the Term Loan A facility, no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facilities and $23 million of outstanding letters of credit as of February 4, 2018. 42 We made payments of $250 million, $350 million and $350 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, on our term loans under the 2016 facilities and 2014 facilities. As a result of the voluntary repayments we made, as of February 4, 2018, we are not required to make a long-term debt repayment until December 2019. The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month and (y) 0.75%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The borrowings under the 2016 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The current applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan A facility and each revolving credit facility is 1.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.50% for base rate loans, respectively. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to each of our fiscal quarters, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan A facility and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment based upon our net leverage ratio. During the second quarter of 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 20, 2018. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $306 million of our variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR is eliminated and we will pay a fixed rate of 1.566%, plus the current applicable margin. During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 17, 2016. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $683 million of our variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Such agreement remained outstanding with a notional amount of $549 million as of February 4, 2018. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR was eliminated and we paid a weighted average fixed rate of 1.924%, plus the current applicable margin. The agreement expired in February 2018. The notional amount of any outstanding interest rate swap will be adjusted according to a pre-set schedule during the term of the applicable swap agreement such that, based on our projections for future debt repayments, our outstanding debt under the Term Loan A facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps. 4 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2022 We had outstanding $700 million principal amount of 4 1/2% senior notes due December 15, 2022. We redeemed these notes on January 5, 2018 in connection with the issuance of €600 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027, as discussed below. We paid a premium of $16 million to the holders of these notes in connection with the redemption. We also recorded debt extinguishment costs of $8 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs associated with these notes. 7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023 We have outstanding $100 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. 43 3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024 We issued on June 20, 2016 €350 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We paid €6 million (approximately $7 million based on exchange rates in ef fect on the payment date) of fees during 2016 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which are amortized over the term of the notes. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 15, 2024 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. 3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027 We issued on December 21, 2017 € 600 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We paid € 9 million (approximately $10 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which are amortized over the term of the notes. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Our financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of February 4, 2018, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. As of February 4, 2018, our corporate credit was rated Ba1 by Moody’s with a stable outlook and our issuer credit was rated BB+ by Standard & Poor’s with a positive outlook. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s considered, among other things, our capital structure and financial policies, our consolidated balance sheet, our historical acquisition activity and other financial information, as well as industry and other qualitative factors. Please refer to Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our debt. Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes, as of February 4, 2018, our contractual cash obligations by future period: Description (In millions) Long-term debt(1) Interest payments on long-term debt Short-term borrowings Operating and capital leases(2) Inventory purchase commitments(3) Minimum contractual royalty payments(4) Non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan(5) Sponsorship and model payments(6) Total contractual cash obligations ______________________ Payments Due by Period Total Obligations 2018 2019-2020 2021-2022 Thereafter $ $ 3,086 564 20 2,560 1,089 56 11 55 7,441 $ $ — $ 103 20 487 1,089 16 1 26 1,742 $ 273 201 — 792 — 30 2 20 1,318 $ $ 1,526 111 — 539 — 10 2 9 2,197 $ $ 1,287 149 — 742 — — 6 — 2,184 (1) At February 4, 2018, we had outstanding $1.799 billion under a senior secured Term Loan A facility, which requires mandatory payments through May 19, 2021 (according to the mandatory repayment schedules), $100 million of 7 3/4% debentures due November 15, 2023, $437 million of 3 5/8% senior unsecured euro notes due July 15, 2024 and $750 million of 3 1/8% senior unsecured euro notes due December 15, 2027. (2) Includes retail store, warehouse, showroom, office and equipment operating leases, as well as capital leases. Retail store operating leases generally provide for payment of direct operating costs in addition to rent. The obligation amounts listed include future minimum lease payments and exclude such direct operating costs. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information. 44 (3) Represents contractual commitments that are enforceable and legally binding for goods on order and not received or paid for as of February 4, 2018. Inventory purchase commitments also include fabric commitments with our suppliers, which secure a portion of our material needs for future seasons. Substantially all of these goods are expected to be received and the related payments are expected to be made within six months of our year end. This amount does not include foreign currency exchange forward contracts that we have entered into to manage our exposure to exchange rate changes with respect to certain of these purchases. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information. (4) Our minimum contractual royalty payments arise under numerous license agreements we have with third parties, each of which has different terms. Agreements typically require us to make minimum payments to the licensors of the licensed trademarks based on expected or required minimum levels of sales of licensed products, as well as additional royalty payments based on a percentage of sales when our sales exceed such minimum sales. Certain of our license agreements require that we pay a specified percentage of net sales to the licensor for advertising and promotion of the licensed products, in some cases requiring a minimum amount to be paid. Any advertising payments, with the exception of minimum payments to licensors, are excluded from the minimum contractual royalty payments shown in the table. There is no guarantee that we will exceed the minimum payments under any of these license agreements. However, given our projected sales levels for products covered under these agreements, we currently anticipate that future payments required under our license agreements on an aggregate basis will exceed the contractual minimums shown in the table. (5) We have an unfunded, non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering certain retired executives under which the participants will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with us, the participant has been in such plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55. (6) Represents payment obligations for sponsorships. We have agreements relating to our sponsorship of the Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets and certain other professional sports teams and athletes and other similar sponsorships, as well as agreements with celebrities, models and stylists. Not included in the above table are contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans, or payments to employees and retirees in connection with our unfunded supplemental executive retirement, supplemental pension and postretirement health plans. Contractual cash obligations for these plans cannot be determined due to the number of assumptions required to estimate our future benefit obligations, including return on assets, discount rate and future compensation increases. The liabilities associated with these plans, together with the liability for the non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plans included in the above table, are presented in Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. Currently, we do not expect to make any material contributions to our pension plans in 2018. Our actual contributions may differ from our planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. Not included in the above table are $212 million of net potential cash obligations associated with uncertain tax positions due to the uncertainty regarding the future cash outflows associated with such obligations. Please see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information related to uncertain tax positions. Not included in the above table are $27 million of asset retirement obligations related to leased office and retail store locations due to the uncertainty of timing of future cash outflows associated with such obligations. Please see Note 21, “Other Comments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for further information related to asset retirement obligations. Not included in the above table are contractual royalty obligations related to our perpetual license agreement with Speedo International Limited. Under the terms of the agreement, our contractual minimum payments each year are $1 million, which is subject to annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect, or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect, on our financial position, changes in financial position, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 45 MARKET RISK Financial instruments held by us as of February 4, 2018 include cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of February 4, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates, which are currently low. Due to the currently low rates of return we are receiving on our cash and cash equivalents, the potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on our interest income. However, there is potential for a more significant increase in short-term interest rates, which could have a more material impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at February 4, 2018, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $500,000 annually. Borrowings under our 2016 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, our 2016 facilities expose us to market risk for changes in interest rates. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements for the intended purpose of reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility. As of February 4, 2018, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreement that was in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of our long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remainder at variable interest rates. Given our debt position at February 4, 2018, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $1 million annually. Please refer to the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for further discussion of our credit facilities and interest rate swap agreements. Our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components, but those components are not significant to the business. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways: a translation impact and a transaction impact. The translation impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our financial results, as our operating results in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our reported results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Brazilian real, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Indian rupee, the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. A transaction impact on financial results is common for apparel companies operating outside the United States that purchase goods in United States dollars, as is the case with most of our foreign operations. As with translation, our results of operations will be impacted as fluctuations of the United States dollar change the local currency value of inventory, which results in a change in the cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain intercompany transactions and SG&A expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at February 4, 2018, the effect of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of approximately $100 million. Any change in the fair value of these contracts would be substantially offset by a change in the fair value of the underlying hedged items. As a result of the weakening of the United States dollar during 2017 against certain foreign currencies, particularly the euro and the Chinese yuan renminbi, we expect an increase in revenue and net income in 2018 as compared to 2017 due to the foreign exchange impact of approximately $230 million and $40 million, respectively, based on current exchange rates. 46 We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of our investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, we designated the carrying amount of our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes that we had issued in the United States as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. The effect of a 10% change in the euro against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of the net investment hedges of approximately $120 million. Any change in the fair value of the net investment hedges would be more than offset by a change in the value of our investments in certain of our European subsidiaries. Additionally, we also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes. During times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. Included in the calculations of expense and liabilities for our pension plans are various assumptions, including return on assets, discount rates, mortality rates and future compensation increases. Actual results could differ from these assumptions, which would require adjustments to our balance sheet and could result in volatility in our future pension expense. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 1% change in the assumed rate of return on assets would result in a change to 2018 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $6 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2018 net benefit cost of approximately $31 million. SEASONALITY Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. We expect this seasonal pattern will generally continue. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting standards. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report. We believe that the following are the more critical judgmental areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial position and results of operations: Sales allowances and returns—We have arrangements with many of our department and specialty store customers to support their sales of our products. We establish accruals which, based on a review of the individual customer arrangements and the expected performance of our products in their stores, we believe will be required to satisfy our sales allowance obligations. We also establish accruals, which are based on historical data, current sales trends and authorized amounts, that we believe are necessary to provide for sales allowances and inventory returns. Our historical accrual estimates have not differed materially from actual results. It is possible that the accrual estimates could vary from actual results, which would require adjustment to the allowance and returns accruals. Inventories—Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for substantially all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail inventories in Asia and Latin America is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. We review current business trends, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments which we estimate will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at either the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable. We believe that all inventory writedowns required at February 4, 2018 have been recorded. Our 47 historical estimates of inventory reserves have not differed materially from actual results. If market conditions were to change, it is possible that the required level of inventory reserves would need to be adjusted. Asset impairments—During 2017, 2016 and 2015, we determined that the long-lived assets in certain of our retail stores were not recoverable, which resulted in us recording impairment charges. In order to calculate the impairment charges, we estimated the undiscounted future cash flows and the related fair value of each asset. The undiscounted future cash flows for each asset were estimated using current sales trends and other factors. If different assumptions had been used for future sales trends, the recorded impairment charges could have been significantly higher or lower. Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report includes further discussion of the circumstances surrounding the impairments and the assumptions related to the impairment charges. Allowance for doubtful accounts—Trade receivables, as presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of our customers and an evaluation of economic conditions. Because we cannot predict future changes in economic conditions and in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates and could impact our allowance for doubtful accounts. Income taxes—Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent earnings experience and expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. The actual realization of deferred tax assets may differ significantly from the amounts we have recorded. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting for income taxes requires a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, we do not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Our actual results have differed materially in the past and could differ materially in the future from our current estimates. The Tax Legislation was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Legislation is comprehensive and significantly revises the United States tax code. The revisions expected to significantly impact us are (i) the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, including the resulting remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the recognition of a valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits, (ii) the imposition of a one-time transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated and (iii) the implementation of a modified territorial tax system. The Tax Legislation resulted in a one-time net tax benefit of $53 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, consisting of a benefit primarily from the remeasurement of our net deferred tax liabilities due to the reduction in the United States corporate tax rate, partially offset by a valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits and a transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated. As we complete our analysis of the Tax Legislation, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments in 2018 to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 under the measurement period allowed by the SEC. Refer to Note 9, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of the impacts of the Tax Legislation. Goodwill and other intangible assets— Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment 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. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. 48 We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. We may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Qualitative factors that we consider as part of our assessment include a change in our market capitalization and its implied impact on reporting unit fair value, a change in our weighted average cost of capital, industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of our businesses. If we perform the quantitative test for any reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets, we generally use a discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. The discounted cash flow method is based on the present value of projected cash flows. Assumptions used in these cash flow projections are generally consistent with our internal forecasts. The estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate that represents our weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost of capital is based on a number of variables, including the equity-risk premium and risk-free interest rate. Management believes the assumptions used for the impairment tests are consistent with those that would be utilized by a market participant performing similar analysis and valuations. Adverse changes in future market conditions or weaker operating results compared to our expectations may impact our projected cash flows and estimates of weighted average cost of capital, which could result in a potential impairment charge if we are unable to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. For the 2017 and 2016 annual goodwill impairment tests, we elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it was necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. In evaluating whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, we assessed relevant events and circumstances including the change in our market capitalization and its implied impact on reporting unit fair value, a change in our weighted average cost of capital, industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of our businesses. After assessing these events and circumstances, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required. No impairment of goodwill resulted from either of our annual impairment tests in 2017 and 2016. We formed a joint venture in Mexico during the fourth quarter of 2016, subsequent to conducting the 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. The joint venture was formed by merging our wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed the Calvin Klein business in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary of the joint venture partner. This resulted in the deconsolidation of our wholly owned subsidiary, including goodwill assigned to the business. This transaction was a triggering event that indicated that the amount of remaining goodwill allocated to the Calvin Klein North America Wholesale, Calvin Klein North America Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale reporting units could be impaired, prompting the need for us to perform a goodwill impairment test for these reporting units in 2016. No goodwill impairment resulted from this interim test in 2016. For the 2017 and 2016 annual impairment tests of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets, we 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. In performing this evaluation, we assessed relevant events and circumstances including industry and market conditions, a change in our weighted average cost of capital, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of our businesses. After assessing these events and circumstances, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of these certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required. For certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test using a discounted cash flow method to estimate fair value. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from either of our annual impairment tests in 2017 and 2016. If different assumptions for our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests had been applied, significantly different outcomes could have resulted. There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions used in our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing performed in 2017 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. For example, if general macroeconomic conditions deteriorate or otherwise vary from current assumptions (including those resulting in changes in the weighted average cost of capital), industry or market conditions deteriorate, business conditions or strategies for a specific reporting unit change from current assumptions, including cost increases or loss of major customers, our businesses do not perform as projected, or there is an extended period of a significant decline in our stock price, this could be an indicator that the excess fair value of our reporting units could be lessened and the chance of an impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could be raised. 49 Pension and Benefit Plans —Pension and benefit plan expenses are recorded throughout the year based on calculations using actuarial valuations that incorporate estimates and assumptions that depend in part on financial market, economic and demographic conditions, including expected long-term rate of return on assets, discount rate and mortality rates. These assumptions require significant judgment. Actuarial gains and losses, which occur when actual experience differs from our actuarial assumptions, are recognized in the year in which they occur and could have a material impact on our operating results. These gains and losses are measured at least annually at the end of our fiscal year and, as such, are generally recorded during the fourth quarter of each year. The expected long-term rate of return on assets is based on historical returns and the level of risk premium associated with the asset classes in which the portfolio is invested as well as expectations for the long-term future returns of each asset class. The expected long-term rate of return for each asset class is then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio. The expected return on plan assets is recognized quarterly and determined by applying the long-term expected rate of return on assets to the actual fair value of plan assets adjusted for expected benefit payments, contributions and plan expenses. At the end of the year, the fair value of the assets is remeasured and any difference between the actual return on assets and the expected return is recorded in earnings as part of the actuarial gain or loss. The discount rate is determined based on current market interest rates. It is selected by constructing a hypothetical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds that matches the cash flows from interest payments and principal maturities of the portfolio to the timing of benefit payments to participants. The yield on such a portfolio is the basis for the selected discount rate. Service and interest cost is measured using the discount rate as of the beginning of the year, while the projected benefit obligation is measured using the discount rate as of the end of the year. The impact of the change in the discount rate on our projected benefit obligation is recorded in earnings as part of the actuarial gain or loss. During 2017 and 2016, we revised the mortality assumptions used to determine our benefit obligations based on recently published actuarial mortality tables. These changes in life expectancy resulted in changes to the period for which we expect benefits to be paid. In 2017, the increase in life expectancy increased our benefit obligations and future expense, and in 2016, the decrease in life expectancy decreased our benefit obligations and future expense. We also periodically review and revise, as necessary, other plan assumptions such as rates of compensation increases, retirement, and termination based on historical experience and anticipated future management actions. We have not historically had significant adjustments to these assumptions. Actual results could differ from these assumptions, which would require adjustments to our balance sheet and could result in volatility in our future net benefit cost. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 1% change in the assumed rate of return on assets would result in a change to 2018 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $6 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2018 net benefit cost of approximately $31 million. Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report sets forth certain significant rate assumptions and information regarding our target asset allocation, which are used in performing calculations related to our pension plans. Stock-based compensation—Accounting for stock-based compensation requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation cost over the service period for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options. This model uses assumptions that include the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the options. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of our stock options and restricted stock units is recognized as expense over the service period, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value of contingently issuable performance shares that are subject to market conditions is established using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Certain contingently issuable performance shares that are subject to market conditions are also subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. For such awards, the grant date fair value is discounted for the restriction of liquidity, which is calculated using the Chaffe model. We record expense for the awards that are subject to market conditions ratably over the vesting period, net of actual forfeitures, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. 50 Item 7A.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Item 9B. Other Information We entered into an employment agreement with Francis K. Duane, Chief Executive Officer, Heritage Brands, and Vice Chairman, PVH Corp. (the “Duane Agreement”) on March 29, 2018. We were previously party to an employment agreement with Mr. Duane dated as of December 23, 2008 (and as amended). The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Duane Agreement. The Duane Agreement, which became effective as of March 1, 2018 and expires on February 28, 2021 (such period, the “Term”), provides that Mr. Duane will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer, Heritage Brands, and Vice Chairman, PVH Corp., which, without limitation, will include his continuation of the overall management of our North America wholesale customer relationships, and working on corporate strategic initiatives. We have the right, on or after February 3, 2020, to modify in our discretion Mr. Duane’s titles, duties and responsibilities so as to enable him to focus on the smooth transition of his duties as of the end of the Term. Mr. Duane’s current base salary is $1,125,000 per annum, which will be increased to a rate of $1,150,000 per annum effective June 1, 2018 through the end of the Term. Mr. Duane’s base salary cannot be reduced following any increase. 51 Mr. Duane is eligible to participate in our bonus and stock plans and other incentive compensation programs for similarly situated executives. However, the only equity awards which Mr. Duane will be eligible to receive will be those set forth in the Duane Agreement. We are required to grant an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Mr. Duane with a fair market value on the date of grant of approximately $3.3 million (the “2018 RSU Grant”). The 2018 RSU Grant will be made on the date during our current (2018) fiscal year on which the annual awards are made to our other executive officers. The value of the 2018 RSU Award will be determined in accordance with our standard grant practice. The 2018 RSU Grant will be subject to ratable annual vesting over a three-year period. Mr. Duane will also be eligible to receive annual awards of performance share units (“PSUs”) with a target value of $400,000 (the “Annual PSU Awards”), which will be granted during our 2018, 2019 and 2020 fiscal years at the same time and with similar terms and conditions as PSU awards granted to the other named executive officers, with the actual number of shares and their value to be determined on the date of grant in accordance with our standard grant practices. No Annual PSU Award will be granted to Mr. Duane in our 2021 fiscal year. Mr. Duane is also eligible to participate in all employee benefits and insurance plans sponsored or maintained for similarly situated executives and is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable business expenses. The Duane Agreement also sets forth Mr. Duane’s rights to severance and other payments upon termination of employment and restrictive covenants in our favor to which he has agreed. Generally, Mr. Duane is entitled to severance only if his employment is terminated by us without “cause” or by him for “good reason” prior to February 3, 2020. “Cause” is generally defined as (1) gross negligence or willful misconduct in Mr. Duane’s performance of the material responsibilities of his office or position, which results in material economic harm to the Company or its affiliates or in material reputational harm causing demonstrable injury to the Company or its affiliates; (2) Mr. Duane’s willful and continued failure to perform substantially his duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (3) Mr. Duane’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony within the meaning of United States Federal, state or local law (other than a traffic violation); (4) Mr. Duane having willfully divulged, furnished or made accessible any confidential information (as defined in the Duane Agreement); or (5) any act or failure to act by Mr. Duane, which, under the provisions of applicable law, disqualified him from acting in the capacity in which he is then acting for us. “Good reason” is generally defined as (i) the assignment to Mr. Duane of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with his position or any other action that results in a material diminution in such position; (ii) a reduction of base salary; (iii) the taking of any action by us that substantially diminishes (A) the aggregate value of Mr. Duane’s total compensation opportunity provided in the Duane Agreement or (B) the aggregate value of the employee benefits provided to him in the Duane Agreement; (iv) requiring that Mr. Duane’s services be rendered primarily at a location or locations more than 35 miles from the location at which he rendered services on the effective date of the Duane Agreement; or (v) our failure to require any successor to assume expressly and agree to perform the Duane Agreement. Mr. Duane’s right to terminate his employment for good reason is only exercisable prior to February 3, 2020 and will not be exercisable if his compensation is reduced by the Board pursuant to our Clawback Policy. If Mr. Duane’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by him prior to February 3, 2020 for good reason, Mr. Duane is entitled, subject to executing a release of claims in our favor, to (1) an aggregate amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) base salary through the end of the Term and (B) an amount equal to the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved under our annual bonus plan (if any) through the end of the Term; (2) $400,000 in lieu of any Annual PSU Award that has not yet been made in accordance with the Duane Agreement, as applicable (the “PSU Severance Amount”); (3) full vesting of the 2018 RSU Grant; and (4) payment with respect to any Annual PSU Awards granted in accordance with the Duane Agreement, calculated as if Mr. Duane retired under the Duane Agreement. The Severance Amount will be paid in equal installments on the same schedule that base salary was paid immediately prior to the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment, commencing on the first scheduled payroll date that occurs on or following the date that is 30 days after Mr. Duane’s termination of employment. The PSU Severance Amount will be paid within 30 days after Mr. Duane’s termination of employment. The Duane Agreement provides that during the period that the Severance Amount is paid (or, if less, for the 18-month period following the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment without cause or for good reason), medical, dental, life and disability insurance coverages are continued for Mr. Duane (and his family, to the extent participating prior to termination of employment), subject to cessation if he obtains replacement coverage from another employer (although there is no duty to seek employment or mitigate damages). Mr. Duane is required to pay the active employee rate, if any, for such coverage. In the event of Mr. Duane’s voluntary resignation (without good reason) of employment prior to February 14, 2019, retirement on or after February 14, 2019, or upon the expiration of the Term, if the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment is on or after December 31, 2020, any unvested portion of the 2018 RSU Grant will accelerate and become fully vested as of such date. If the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment is on or after December 31, 2019, but before December 31, 2020, 66.66% of the award will vest and the unvested portion will be forfeited. If the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment is on or after December 31, 2018, but before December 31, 2019, 33.33% of the 2018 RSU Grant will vest and the unvested portion will be forfeited. In addition, in the event of Mr. Duane’s voluntary resignation of 52 employment prior to February 14, 2019, retirement on or after February 14, 2019, or upon the expiration of the Term, Annual PSU Awards granted to Mr. Duane will be subject to full vesting based on actual performance without any proration, and will be payable at the same time as other participants unless the date of the termination of Mr. Duane’s employment is (A) prior to February 14, 2019 or (b) before the last day of the first fiscal year of the performance period with respect to any Annual PSU Award, in which case such Annual PSU Award will be forfeited. If the receipt of any of the foregoing payments and benefits would subject Mr. Duane to the excise tax on parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code, such amounts would be reduced by the amount required to avoid the excise tax if such a reduction would give him a better after-tax result than if he received such amounts otherwise payable to him. The Duane Agreement also includes certain restrictive covenants in our favor. The covenants include prohibitions during and after employment against the use of confidential information, interfering with our business relationships, soliciting Company employees for employment by himself or anyone else and competing against us or accepting employment with a competitor. 53 Item 10.

F-6 PVH CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business — PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company with a brand portfolio consisting of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo (licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited), Warner’s, Olga and True&Co., as well as various other owned, licensed and private label brands. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands globally over a broad range of products and for use in numerous discrete jurisdictions. Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities. Please see Note 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion. During 2016, the Company and Arvind Limited (“Arvind”) formed a joint venture in Ethiopia, PVH Arvind Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”), in which the Company owns a 75% interest. PVH Ethiopia is consolidated and the minority shareholder’s proportionate share (25%) of the equity in this joint venture is accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest. Please see Note 6, “Redeemable Non- Controlling Interest,” for further discussion. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates. Fiscal Year — The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to February 1. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise. Results for 2017, 2016 and 2015 represent the 53 weeks ended February 4, 2018, 52 weeks ended January 29, 2017 and 52 weeks ended January 31, 2016, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents also includes amounts due from third party credit card processors for the settlement of customer debit and credit card transactions that are collectible in one week or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at February 4, 2018 consisted principally of bank deposits and investments in money market funds. Accounts Receivable — Trade receivables, as presented in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, are net of returns and allowances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and an evaluation of economic conditions. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. Costs associated with allowable customer markdowns and operational chargebacks, net of the expected recoveries, are part of the provision for allowances included in accounts receivable. These provisions result from seasonal negotiations, as well as historic deduction trends net of expected recoveries, and the evaluation of current market conditions. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill 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. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the F-7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. quantitative test for any reporting unit. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, if necessary, is a two-step process. The first step is to identify the existence of a potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit (the fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and performance of the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be recorded, if any. The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined using the same approach as used when determining the amount of goodwill that would be recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. For the 2017 and 2016 annual goodwill impairment tests, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it was necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. In evaluating whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances including the change in the Company’s market capitalization and its implied impact on reporting unit fair value, industry and market conditions, a change in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of the Company’s businesses. After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required. No impairment of goodwill resulted from either of the Company’s annual impairment tests in 2017 and 2016. The Company formed a joint venture in Mexico during the fourth quarter of 2016, subsequent to conducting the 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. The joint venture was formed by merging the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed the Calvin Klein business in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary of the joint venture partner. This resulted in the deconsolidation of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, including goodwill assigned to the business. This transaction was a triggering event that indicated that the amount of remaining goodwill allocated to the Calvin Klein North America Wholesale, Calvin Klein North America Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale reporting units could be impaired, prompting the need for the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test for these reporting units in 2016. No goodwill impairment resulted from this interim test in 2016. Indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment 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 the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. When performing the quantitative test, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined using the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the asset’s use. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets. For the 2017 and 2016 annual impairment tests of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets, 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. In performing this evaluation, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances including industry and market conditions, a change in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, macroeconomic conditions, trends in product costs and financial performance of the Company’s businesses. After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required. For certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, 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. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from either of the Company’s annual impairment tests in 2017 and 2016. F-8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. Asset Impairments — The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite- lived intangible assets) when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The Company records an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Please see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion. Inventories — Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for substantially all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail inventories in Asia and Latin America is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments that it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable. Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. The range of useful lives is principally as follows: Buildings and building improvements — 15 to 40 years; machinery, software and equipment — 2 to 10 years; furniture and fixtures — 2 to 10 years; and fixtures located in third party customer locations (“shop-in-shops”) and their related costs — 3 to 4 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. In certain circumstances, contractual renewal options are considered when determining the term of the related lease. Major additions and improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $252.2 million, $228.4 million and $210.8 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Leases — The Company leases retail locations, warehouses, showrooms, office space and equipment. Assets held under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment and are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company accounts for rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the lease term at the inception of a lease, and where renewal options are reasonably assured of being exercised because of the significant economic penalty that exists for not exercising those options, they are included in the lease term. The excess of straight-line rent expense over scheduled payments is recorded as a deferred liability. For certain retail store leases that require variable lease payments based on sales, when sales at those locations exceed a stated base amount, additional rent expense is recognized when the liability is probable. In addition, the Company receives build out contributions from landlords primarily as an incentive for the Company to lease space from the landlords. Such amounts are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the related lease. Revenue Recognition — Revenue from the Company’s wholesale operations is recognized at the time title to the goods is passed and the risk of loss is transferred to customers. For sales by the Company’s retail stores, revenue is recognized when goods are sold to customers. Revenue from the Company’s digital commerce transactions is recognized at the estimated time of delivery to the customer. Allowances for estimated returns and discounts are provided when sales are recorded. Royalty revenue for licensees whose sales exceed contractual sales minimums, including licensee contributions toward advertising, is recognized when licensed products are sold as reported by the Company’s licensees. For licensees whose sales do not exceed contractual sales minimums, royalty revenue is recognized ratably based on contractual minimum requirements. The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards nor do they expire. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, a liability is established for the cash value of the gift card. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or if the Company determines that the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote (also known as “gift card breakage”) and that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift card to any jurisdiction. Gift card breakage was immaterial in each of the last three years. Certain of the Company’s retail operations use sales incentive programs, such as customer loyalty programs and the issuance of coupons. The Company’s loyalty programs are structured such that customers receive specified amounts off of future purchases for a specified period of time after certain levels of spending are achieved. Costs associated with the F-9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. Company’s loyalty programs are recorded ratably as a cost of goods sold based on enrolled customers’ spending. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in May 2014 guidance that supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements as described below in the section “Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of February 4, 2018.” The Company will adopt the new revenue recognition guidance in 2018. Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company associated with digital commerce transactions are also included in cost of goods sold, as well as the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward exchange contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Generally, all other expenses, excluding interest and income taxes, are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including warehousing and distribution expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature, including rent, utilities, payroll and depreciation and amortization. Warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, totaled $272.6 million, $246.5 million and $232.4 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Shipping and Handling Fees — Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Advertising — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses. Advertising expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, totaled $501.3 million, $416.3 million and $376.6 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Prepaid advertising expenses recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets totaled $3.9 million and $7.5 million at February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively. Costs associated with cooperative advertising programs, under which the Company shares the cost of a customer’s advertising expenditures, are treated as a reduction of revenue. Sales Taxes — The Company accounts for sales taxes and other related taxes on a net basis, excluding such taxes from revenue. Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amount of deductible and taxable items, evaluating tax positions and determining the income tax provision. The Company recognizes income tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company measures the tax benefit at the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. When the outcome of these tax matters changes, the change in estimate impacts the provision for income taxes in the period that such a determination is made. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Company’s income tax provision. The United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Legislation is comprehensive and significantly revises the United States tax code. Please see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion of the Tax Legislation. Financial Instruments — The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows primarily associated with certain international inventory purchases. The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure. The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its secured term loan facilities. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of this exposure. The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at F-10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the interest rate contracts is based on observable interest rate yield curves and represents the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate contracts that are designated as effective hedging instruments (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings. Cash flows from such hedges are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the items being hedged. The Company also has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of its investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, the Company designates certain foreign currency borrowings issued in the United States as a net investment hedge of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the United States dollar. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency borrowings designated as a net investment hedge are recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedge as of the beginning of each quarter. Any ineffectiveness in such net investment hedge is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”). Undesignated contracts include all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany transactions and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany balances. Undesignated contracts also include foreign currency option contracts used to hedge against changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the translation of the earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the United States dollar. The fair value of the foreign currency option contracts is estimated based on external valuation models, which use the original strike price, current foreign currency exchange rates, the implied volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and length of time to expiration as inputs. As of February 4, 2018, all foreign currency option contracts have expired. The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Please see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for further discussion. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in United States dollars. If the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is not the United States dollar, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the applicable balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated to United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable period. Gains and losses on the revaluation of intercompany loans made between foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature are included in AOCL. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity, not including inventory purchases, are principally included in SG&A expenses and totaled a (gain) loss of $(10.2) million, $4.7 million and $17.3 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Balance Sheet Classification of Early Settlements of Long-Term Obligations — The Company classifies obligations settled after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements based on the contractual payment terms of the underlying agreements. Pension and Benefit Plans — Employee pension benefits earned during the year, as well as interest on the projected benefit obligations or accumulated benefit obligations, are accrued quarterly. The expected return on plan assets is recognized quarterly and determined by applying the expected long-term rate of return on assets to the actual fair value of plan assets adjusted for expected benefit payments, contributions and plan expenses. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s operating results in the year in which they occur. These gains and losses include the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return that was recognized quarterly, as well as the change in the projected benefit obligation caused by actual experience and updated actuarial assumptions differing from those assumptions used to record service and interest cost throughout the year. Actuarial gains and losses are measured at least annually at the end of the Company’s fiscal year and, as such, are generally recorded during the fourth quarter of each year. Please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” for further discussion of the Company’s pension and benefit plans. F-11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors, net of actual forfeitures, as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Please see Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further discussion. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance — The FASB issued in July 2015 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory. The update requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the guidance at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The update does not apply to inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory methods. Previously, all inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in March 2016 an update to accounting guidance to simplify several aspects of accounting for share- based payment award transactions, including the accounting for forfeitures, income taxes and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of these transactions in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2017. With respect to accounting for forfeitures, the Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than continue to estimate expected forfeitures in determining compensation expense. This accounting change was applied on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease beginning retained earnings by $0.8 million, with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital of $1.1 million and an increase to deferred tax assets of $0.3 million. With respect to the accounting for income taxes, this update requires, on a prospective basis, recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting or exercise date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. Prior to the adoption of this update, the Company recognized excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies in equity as a component of additional paid in capital. The Company recognized in income tax expense during 2017 discrete net excess tax benefits of $15.4 million. In addition, excess tax benefits are now classified as an operating activity in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows instead of as a financing activity, and such classification has been applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. As a result, excess tax benefits of $0.9 million and $5.5 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, were reclassified from financing activities to operating activities. The update also requires that the value of shares withheld from employees upon vesting of stock awards in order to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements are presented within financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which is consistent with the Company’s historical presentation, and therefore had no impact to the Company. The FASB issued in February 2018 an update to accounting guidance that allows for stranded tax effects in AOCL resulting from the Tax Legislation to be reclassified to retained earnings. The amount of the reclassification is calculated based on the effect of the change in the United States federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of the enactment of the Tax Legislation related to items that remained in AOCL at that time. The Company early adopted this update in the fourth quarter of 2017 and reclassified $2.1 million of stranded deferred tax benefits from AOCL to retained earnings. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of February 4, 2018 — The FASB issued in May 2014 guidance that supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. The FASB subsequently delayed the required adoption date of the standard, which made it effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The FASB has also issued several amendments to clarify various aspects of the implementation guidance. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period (full retrospective method) or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company formed a global, cross-functional project team to analyze the impacts of the guidance across all of its revenue streams. This included review of current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the guidance. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from sales of finished products, which will continue to be recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. The Company’s assessment included F-12 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. an evaluation of the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s accounting for royalty and advertising revenue, loyalty programs and gift cards. Under the guidance, the Company’s royalty and advertising revenue will continue to be recognized over time, however, the timing of the recognition of revenue among quarters may be affected for certain of the Company’s licensing arrangements. For loyalty programs, the Company records costs associated with such programs ratably as a cost of goods sold based on enrolled customers’ spending. Under the guidance, the revenue associated with loyalty awards will be deferred initially when the loyalty awards are earned, and recognized, along with the related cost of goods sold, as the loyalty awards are redeemed or expire. Revenue for the unredeemed portion of gift cards, which is currently recognized when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote, will be recognized under the guidance proportionately over the estimated customer redemption period, subject to the constraint that it must be highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, the Company expects to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as a decrease to opening retained earnings of approximately $1.5 million, with an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis. The FASB issued in January 2016 an update to accounting guidance for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The update requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not currently have such investments. The FASB issued in February 2016 a new accounting standard on leases. The new standard, among other changes, will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the current guidance. The lease liability will be measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs (e.g., commissions). The standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. The adoption will require a modified retrospective approach, which includes several optional practical expedients, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company formed a global, cross-functional project team to implement the new guidance and analyze its impacts. The Company has begun to identify and collect relevant data for its leases and is evaluating the changes needed to its processes and internal controls as a result of the new guidance. To facilitate the adoption of the new guidance and the related reporting requirements, the Company has also begun the implementation of global lease management and accounting software and is currently in the testing phase. While the Company’s assessment of the new guidance is still in process, it will result in a significant increase to the Company’s other assets and other liabilities, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for additional information on the Company’s lease obligations. The Company intends to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. The FASB issued in August 2016 an update to accounting guidance to clarify and provide specific guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. Among the types of cash flows addressed are payments for costs related to debt prepayments or extinguishments, payments of contingent consideration after a business combination and distributions from equity method investees. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective adoption is required. Upon adoption, contingent purchase price payments that are currently classified as cash flows from investing activities will be classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Otherwise, the adoption of the update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company’s historical presentation of cash receipts and cash payments has been consistent with this guidance. The FASB issued in October 2016 an update to accounting guidance to simplify income tax accounting on intercompany sales or transfers of assets other than inventory. The existing guidance requires entities to defer the income tax effect of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The update requires companies to immediately recognize in their income statement the income tax effects of an intercompany sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Entities are required to apply the update using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in F-13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. the period of adoption. The Company had deferred charges of $8.0 million related to intercompany sales and transfers of assets recorded in other assets as of February 4, 2018. Upon adoption of this update, other assets will be reduced by the amount of deferred charges with a corresponding adjustment to opening retained earnings. The FASB issued in November 2016 an update to accounting guidance to clarify and provide specific guidance on the cash flow classifications and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The update requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Retrospective adoption is required. The adoption is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as the Company does not currently have any restricted cash. The FASB issued in January 2017 an update to accounting guidance to revise the definition of a business. The update requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of identifiable assets, the set of assets would not represent a business. Also, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to produce outputs. Under the update, fewer sets of assets are expected to be considered businesses. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company will apply the update to applicable transactions after the adoption date. The impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions. The FASB issued in March 2017 an update to accounting guidance to change the income statement presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The update requires employers to report the service cost component of pension and postretirement net benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the applicable period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Retrospective adoption is required for the presentation updates and prospective adoption is required for the capitalization update. The update will impact the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost within income before interest and taxes in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements. Otherwise, the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in August 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations and allow companies to better align their hedge accounting with their risk management activities. The update eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires companies to recognize all elements of hedge accounting that impact earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The update also simplifies the requirements for hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to adopt the update using a modified retrospective approach, except for the presentation and disclosure guidance, which is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in January 2018 guidance related to the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Legislation. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The guidance indicates that companies must make a policy election to either record deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the effects of the GILTI provisions and plans to make an accounting policy election within the measurement period allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); therefore, the Company has not recorded deferred taxes for GILTI as of February 4, 2018. F-14 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. 2. ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of the Wholesale and Concessions Businesses in Belgium and Luxembourg The Company acquired on September 1, 2017 the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein wholesale and concessions businesses in Belgium and Luxembourg from a former agent (the “Belgian acquisition”). As a result of this acquisition, the Company now operates directly its Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses in this region. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration was $13.9 million, consisting of $12.0 million paid in cash and $1.9 million included in accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018, which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2018. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included $12.4 million of goodwill and $1.5 million of other net assets. The goodwill of $12.4 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments in the amounts of $11.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which are the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the valuation of certain tax related items; thus, the allocation of the acquisition consideration is subject to change. Acquisition of True & Co. The Company acquired on March 30, 2017 True & Co., a direct-to-consumer intimate apparel digital commerce retailer. This acquisition enables the Company to participate further in the fast-growing online channel and provides a platform to increase innovation, data-driven decisions and speed in the way it serves its consumers across its channels of distribution. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid was $28.5 million. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included $20.9 million of goodwill and $7.6 million of other net assets (including $7.3 million of deferred tax assets and $0.4 million of cash acquired). The goodwill of $20.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Calvin Klein North America, Calvin Klein International and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments in the amounts of $5.4 million, $4.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, which include the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. For those reporting units that had not been assigned any of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in the acquisition, the amount of goodwill assigned was determined by calculating the estimated fair value of such reporting units before and after the acquisition. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2017. Acquisition of TH China The Company acquired on April 13, 2016 the 55% of the ownership interests in TH Asia, Ltd. (“TH China”), its former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China, that it did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”). Prior to April 13, 2016, the Company accounted for its 45% interest in TH China under the equity method of accounting. Since the completion of the TH China acquisition, the results of TH China’s operations have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a result of this acquisition, the Company now operates directly its Tommy Hilfiger business in this high-growth market. TH China began operating the Tommy Hilfiger wholesale and retail distribution businesses in China in 2011 and held a license from a subsidiary of the Company for the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks for use in connection with these businesses. The carrying value of the Company’s 45% interest in TH China prior to the acquisition was $52.5 million. In connection with the acquisition, this investment was remeasured to a fair value of $205.6 million, resulting in the recognition during the first quarter of 2016 of a pre-tax noncash gain of $153.1 million. Such fair value was estimated using future operating cash flow projections that were discounted at a rate of 14.4%, which accounted for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Such fair value also included an estimated discount for a lack of marketability of 10.0%. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of these significant unobservable inputs. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration for the 55% interest that the Company did not already own was $265.8 million, consisting of $263.0 million paid in cash and the elimination of a $2.8 million pre-acquisition receivable owed to the Company by TH China. The total fair value of TH China (at 100%) was $471.4 million. The estimated fair value of assets F-15 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. acquired and liabilities assumed included $258.6 million of goodwill, $110.6 million of other intangible assets and $102.2 million of other net assets (including $105.3 million of cash acquired). The goodwill of $258.6 million was assigned to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International segment. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets of $110.6 million included reacquired license rights of $72.0 million, order backlog of $26.2 million and customer relationships of $12.4 million. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2016. 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE During 2015, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries entered into an agreement to sell a building in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Company classified the building as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2015 and ceased recording depreciation on the building at that time. The Company completed the sale of the building during 2016 for € 15.0 million (approximately $16.7 million based on the exchange rate in effect on that date) and recorded a gain of $1.5 million, which represented the excess of the proceeds, less costs to sell, over the carrying value on that date. The gain was recorded in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement during 2016 and was included in the Calvin Klein International segment. 4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment, at cost, was as follows: (In millions) Land Buildings and building improvements Machinery, software and equipment Furniture and fixtures Shop-in-shops Leasehold improvements Construction in progress Property, plant and equipment, gross Less: Accumulated depreciation Property, plant and equipment, net 2017 2016 1.0 55.3 609.5 494.9 208.6 724.5 35.9 2,129.7 (1,229.9) 899.8 $ $ 1.1 57.4 533.2 406.0 164.1 622.5 30.0 1,814.3 (1,054.4) 759.9 $ $ Construction in progress at February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017 represents costs incurred for machinery, software and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements not yet placed in use. Construction in progress at February 4, 2018 principally related to upgrades and enhancements to operating, supply chain and logistics systems. Construction in progress at January 29, 2017 principally related to the construction of retail stores. Interest costs capitalized in construction in progress were immaterial during 2017, 2016 and 2015. 5. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES PVH Australia The Company owns a 50% economic interest in a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”). PVH Australia licenses from subsidiaries of the Company the rights to distribute and sell certain CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER and Van Heusen brand products in Australia, New Zealand and, in the cases of CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, other island nations in the South Pacific. Additionally, subsidiaries of PVH Australia license other trademarks for certain product categories. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company made net payments of $21.0 million (of which $20.2 million was placed into an escrow account prior to the end of 2014) to PVH Australia during 2015 to contribute its share of the joint venture funding for the period. F-16 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The Company received dividends of $3.1 million and $1.5 million from PVH Australia during 2017 and 2016, respectively. Gazal The Company acquired approximately 10% of the outstanding capital stock of Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”), which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, in 2016 for $9.2 million. The Company acquired additional capital stock for $7.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, increasing its ownership interest in Gazal to approximately 20%. The Company is deemed to have significant influence with respect to this investment, which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Gazal is the Company’s joint venture partner in PVH Australia. The Company received dividends of $0.6 million from Gazal during 2017. CK India The Company acquired a 51% economic interest in a joint venture, Calvin Klein Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“CK India”) in 2013. The Company sold 1% of its interest for $0.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, decreasing its economic interest in CK India to 50%. Prior to the sale, the Company was not deemed to hold a controlling interest in CK India as the shareholders agreement provided the partners with equal rights. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. CK India licenses from a subsidiary of the Company the rights to the CALVIN KLEIN trademarks in India for certain product categories. The Company made payments of $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $4.0 million to CK India during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to contribute its share of the joint venture funding. TH India The Company owns a 50% economic interest in a joint venture, Tommy Hilfiger Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“TH India”). TH India licenses from a subsidiary of the Company the rights to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks in India for certain product categories. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Arvind, the Company’s joint venture partner in PVH Ethiopia and CK India, is also the Company’s joint venture partner in TH India. The Company made payments of $2.7 million to TH India during 2017 to contribute its share of the joint venture funding. TH Brazil The Company acquired a 40% economic interest in a joint venture, Tommy Hilfiger do Brasil S.A. (“TH Brazil”) in 2012. The Company acquired approximately 1% additional interest for $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, increasing its economic interest in TH Brazil to approximately 41%. TH Brazil licenses from a subsidiary of the Company the rights to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks in Brazil for certain product categories. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company made payments of $2.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.6 million to TH Brazil during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to contribute its share of the joint venture funding. The Company issued a note receivable to TH Brazil in 2016 for $12.5 million, of which $6.2 million was repaid in 2016 and the remaining balance, including accrued interest, was repaid in 2017. PVH Mexico The Company and Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Grupo Axo”) formed a joint venture (“PVH Mexico”) in 2016, in which the Company owns a 49% economic interest. PVH Mexico licenses from certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company the rights to distribute and sell certain CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brand products in Mexico. PVH Mexico was formed by merging the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary that principally operated and managed the Calvin Klein business in Mexico (the “Mexico business”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Axo that distributes F-17 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. certain TOMMY HILFIGER brand products in Mexico. In connection with the formation of PVH Mexico, the Company deconsolidated the Mexico business (the “Mexico deconsolidation”) and began accounting for its 49% interest under the equity method of accounting in 2016. In connection with the Mexico deconsolidation, the Company recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $81.8 million in 2016 (including $56.7 million related to foreign currency translation adjustment losses previously recorded in AOCL) to write down the net assets of the Mexico business to fair value. The loss was included in other noncash gain, net in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement for 2016. The fair value of the net assets of $64.3 million was estimated as the fair value of the 49% interest in PVH Mexico that the Company acquired upon its formation, based on future operating cash flow projections that were discounted at a rate of 15.0%, which accounted for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Such fair value also included an estimated discount for a lack of marketability of 10.0%. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of these significant unobservable inputs. The Company made payments of $7.3 million to PVH Mexico during 2016 to contribute its share of the joint venture funding. Karl Lagerfeld The Company owns an economic interest of approximately 8% in the parent company of the Karl Lagerfeld brand (“Karl Lagerfeld”). The Company is deemed to have significant influence with respect to this investment, which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Total Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates Included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $208.4 million as of February 4, 2018 and $180.0 million as of January 29, 2017 (of which $7.0 million was related to the note receivable due from TH Brazil) related to these investments in unconsolidated affiliates. 6. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST The Company and Arvind formed PVH Ethiopia, in which the Company owns a 75% interest, during 2016. The Company has consolidated PVH Ethiopia in its consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for the Company for distribution primarily in the United States. The manufacturing facility began operations in the first half of 2017. The shareholders agreement governing PVH Ethiopia (the “Shareholders Agreement”) contains a put option under which Arvind can require the Company to purchase all of its shares in the joint venture during various future periods as specified in the Shareholders Agreement. The first such period immediately precedes the ninth anniversary of the date of incorporation of PVH Ethiopia. The Shareholders Agreement also contains call options under which the Company can require Arvind to sell to the Company (i) all or a portion of its shares during various future periods as specified in the Shareholders Agreement; (ii) all of its shares in the event of a change of control of Arvind; or (iii) all of its shares in the event that Arvind ceases to hold at least 10% of the outstanding shares. The Company’s first call option referred to in clause (i) immediately follows the fifth anniversary of the date of incorporation of PVH Ethiopia. The put and call prices are the fair market value of the shares on the redemption date based upon a multiple of PVH Ethiopia’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the prior 12 months, less PVH Ethiopia’s net debt. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) as of the date of formation of PVH Ethiopia was $0.1 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI is adjusted to equal the redemption amount at the end of each reporting period, provided that this amount at the end of each reporting period cannot be lower than the initial fair value adjusted for the minority shareholder’s share of net income or loss. Any adjustment to the redemption amount of the RNCI is determined after attribution of net income or loss of the RNCI and will be recognized immediately in retained earnings of the Company, since it is probable that the RNCI will become redeemable in the future based on the passage of time. The carrying amount of the RNCI, which is also its fair value, was $2.0 million as of both February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, as additional contributions of $1.7 million made by Arvind during 2017 for its proportionate share of PVH Ethiopia’s funding were offset by a net loss attributable to the RNCI for 2017 of $1.7 million.

For those reporting units that had not been assigned any of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in the True & Co. acquisition, the amount of goodwill assigned was determined by calculating the estimated fair value of such reporting units before and after the acquisition. The Company is required to make contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein in connection with the Company’s acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies. Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the acquisition agreement (as amended), of products bearing any of the CALVIN KLEIN brands and are required to be made with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein have been made are wholesale sales by the Company and its licensees and other partners to retailers. The payments are not due or paid in cash until 45 days subsequent to the Company’s applicable quarter end. As such, the final payment due to Mr. Klein will be made in the second quarter of 2018.

Assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates and no change in the gross carrying amount of the intangible assets, amortization expense for the next five years related to the Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization as of February 4, 2018 is expected to be as follows: (In millions) Fiscal Year Amount 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 $ 65.7 41.1 41.0 40.8 38.5 8. DEBT Short-Term Borrowings The Company has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities” below. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during 2017 was $233.0 million. Additionally, the Company has the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short- term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to F-20 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. $91.1 million based on exchange rates in effect on February 4, 2018 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. As of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, the Company had $19.5 million and $19.1 million outstanding under these facilities, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017 was approximately 1.19% and 1.40%, respectively. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during 2017 was $31.2 million. Long-Term Debt The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows: (In millions) 2017 2016 Senior secured Term Loan A facility due 2021 4 1/2% senior unsecured notes due 2022 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 3 5/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2024 (1) 3 1/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2027 (1) Total Less: Current portion of long-term debt Long-term debt $ $ 1,792.1 — 99.5 430.8 738.9 3,061.3 — 3,061.3 $ $ 2,039.9 690.4 99.5 367.5 — 3,197.3 — 3,197.3 (1) The carrying amount of the Company’s senior unsecured euro notes includes the impact of changes of the United States dollar against the euro. Please see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. As of February 4, 2018, the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the next five years were as follows: (In millions) Fiscal Year 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 $ Amount — 38.8 234.7 1,525.8 — Total debt repayments for the next five years exceed the carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facility as of February 4, 2018 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts. As of February 4, 2018, after taking into account the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement discussed in the section entitled “2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities,” which was in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of the Company’s long-term debt had a fixed interest rate, with the remainder at variable interest rates. 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities The Company has senior secured credit facilities due May 19, 2021 (the “2016 facilities”) that consist of a $2,347.4 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (a) a $475.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (b) a $25.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars and (c) a € 185.9 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen or Swiss francs. F-21 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The senior secured revolving credit facilities also include amounts available for letters of credit. A portion of each of the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facilities is also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (1) the sum of (x) $1,350.0 million plus (y) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of loans under the Term Loan A and the senior secured revolving credit facilities (to the extent, in the case of voluntary prepayments of loans under the senior secured revolving credit facilities, there is an equivalent permanent reduction of the revolving commitments) plus (z) an amount equal to the aggregate revolving commitments of any defaulting lender (to the extent the commitments with respect thereto have been terminated) and (2) an additional unlimited amount as long as the ratio of the Company’s senior secured net debt to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (in each case calculated as set forth in the documentation relating to the 2016 facilities) would not exceed 3 to 1 after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such increase. The lenders under the 2016 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments. The Company had prior senior secured credit facilities outstanding through May 19, 2016 (the “2014 facilities”), which were amended by the 2016 facilities in the second quarter of 2016. Among other things, this amendment provided for (i) the Company to borrow an additional $582.0 million principal amount of loans under the Term Loan A facility, (ii) the repayment of all outstanding loans under the previously outstanding Term Loan B facility with the proceeds of the additional loans under the Term Loan A facility, and (iii) the termination of the Term Loan B facility. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $10.9 million (of which $4.6 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $6.3 million is being amortized over the term of the related debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $11.2 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs. The Company had loans outstanding of $1,792.1 million, net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs, under the Term Loan A facility, no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facilities and $22.6 million of outstanding letters of credit as of February 4, 2018. The terms of the Term Loan A facility require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2016 facilities, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2016. Such amounts equal 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Amendment Date for the first eight calendar quarters following the Amendment Date, 7.50% per annum of the principal amount for the four calendar quarters thereafter and 10.00% per annum of the principal amount for the remaining calendar quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the Term Loan A facility. The Company made payments of $250.0 million, $350.0 million and $350.0 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, on its term loans under the 2016 facilities and 2014 facilities. As a result of the voluntary repayments made by the Company, as of February 4, 2018 the Company is not required to make a long-term debt repayment until December 2019. The Company’s obligations under the 2016 facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of its existing and future direct and indirect United States subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. Obligations of the European borrower, PVH B.V., under the 2016 facilities are guaranteed by the Company, substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect United States subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) and Tommy Hilfiger Europe B.V., one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company and its United States subsidiary guarantors have pledged certain of their assets as security for the obligations under the 2016 facilities. The outstanding borrowings under the 2016 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The terms of the 2016 facilities require the Company to repay certain amounts outstanding thereunder with (a) net cash proceeds of the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (b) net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested or committed to be reinvested in the business in accordance with customary reinvestment provisions, and (c) a percentage of excess cash flow that exceeds the voluntary debt payments the Company has made during the applicable year, which percentage is based upon its net leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period. F-22 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2016 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month and (y) 0.75%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The borrowings under the 2016 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2016 facilities. The current applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan A facility and each revolving credit facility is 1.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.50% for base rate loans, respectively. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan A facility and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 20, 2018. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $306.5 million of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in a one-month London interbank borrowing rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated and the Company will pay a fixed rate of 1.566%, plus the current applicable margin. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a two-year term commencing on February 17, 2016. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $682.6 million of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Such agreement remained outstanding with a notional amount of $548.6 million as of February 4, 2018. Under the terms of the agreement for the then- outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR was eliminated and the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of 1.924%, plus the current applicable margin. The agreement expired in February 2018. The notional amount of any outstanding interest rate swap will be adjusted according to a pre-set schedule during the term of the applicable swap agreement such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the Term Loan A facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps. The 2016 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain events related to certain of the guarantees by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and certain pledges of the Company’s assets and those of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as security for the obligations under the 2016 facilities; and a change in control (as defined in the 2016 facilities). The 2016 facilities also contain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs, to take advantage of other business opportunities that may be in its interest or to satisfy its obligations under its other outstanding debt. These covenants restrict its ability to, among other things: • incur or guarantee additional debt or extend credit; • make restricted payments, including paying dividends or making distributions on, or redeeming or repurchasing, the Company’s capital stock or certain debt; • make acquisitions and investments; F-23 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. • dispose of assets; • engage in transactions with affiliates; • enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; • create liens on the Company’s assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and • effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The 2016 facilities require the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2016 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of its other debt. If the Company were unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the lenders could proceed against the Company’s collateral, which also secures some of its other indebtedness. 4 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2022 The Company had outstanding $700.0 million principal amount of 4 1/2% senior notes due December 15, 2022. The Company redeemed these notes on January 5, 2018 in connection with the issuance of € 600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027, as discussed below. The Company paid a premium of $15.8 million to the holders of these notes in connection with the redemption. The Company also recorded debt extinguishment costs of $8.1 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs associated with these notes. 7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023 The Company has outstanding $100.0 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. Pursuant to the indenture governing the debentures, the Company must maintain a certain level of stockholders’ equity in order to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments, as defined in the indenture governing the debentures. 3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024 The Company issued on June 20, 2016 € 350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company paid € 6.4 million (approximately $7.3 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during 2016 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which are amortized over the term of the notes. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 15, 2024 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company’s ability to create liens on the Company’s assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions is restricted as defined in the indenture governing the notes. 3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027 The Company issued on December 21, 2017 € 600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company paid € 8.7 million (approximately $10.3 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which are amortized over the term of the notes. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company’s ability to create liens on the Company’s assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions is restricted as defined in the indenture governing the notes. Substantially all of the Company’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s obligations under the 2016 facilities, the 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein as discussed in Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” F-24 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. As of February 4, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements. Interest paid was $120.2 million, $109.8 million and $104.9 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 9. INCOME TAXES The domestic and foreign components of (loss) income before (benefit) provision for income taxes were as follows: (In millions) Domestic Foreign Total 2017 2016 2015 $ $ (102.0) $ 612.2 510.2 $ 60.9 613.3 674.2 $ $ 117.5 530.0 647.5 The domestic loss before benefit for income taxes in 2017 is primarily attributable to the domestic portion of certain non- recurring costs incurred in 2017. Please see Note 19, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of these costs. Taxes paid were $164.6 million, $85.3 million and $91.5 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The (benefit) provision for income taxes attributable to income consisted of the following: (In millions) Federal: Current Deferred State and local: Current Deferred Foreign: Current Deferred Total (1) Includes the impact of the Tax Legislation. 2017 2016 2015 $ $ 51.7 (198.3) (1) $ (2.7) $ (9.3) 3.5 (7.8) 143.5 (18.5) (25.9) (2.4) (0.9) 129.3 11.5 125.5 $ $ 6.8 (4.1) 6.4 (22.2) 70.6 17.6 75.1 F-25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The (benefit) provision for income taxes for the years 2017, 2016 and 2015 was different from the amount computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate to the underlying income as follows: Statutory federal income tax rate State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit Effects of international jurisdictions, including foreign tax credits Change in estimates for uncertain tax positions Change in valuation allowance Provisional one-time transition tax due to Tax Legislation Provisional remeasurement due to Tax Legislation Excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation Other, net Effective income tax rate 2017 2016 2015 33.7 % (1) (1.1)% (20.3)% (7.5)% 11.0 % (2) 34.0 % (51.9)% (2.8)% (3) (0.2)% (5.1)% 35.0 % 0.4 % (12.9)% (3.7)% (0.1)% — % — % — % (0.1)% 18.6 % 35.0 % (1.3)% (15.0)% (7.6)% (0.2)% — % — % — % 0.7 % 11.6 % (1) The United States statutory federal income tax rate changed from 35.0% to 21.0%, effective January 1, 2018, as a result of the Tax Legislation. The United States statutory federal income tax rate for 2017 is a blended rate of 33.7%. (2) (3) Includes the recognition of a $38.5 million valuation allowance on the Company’s foreign tax credits as a result of the Tax Legislation. Includes an excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. All of the international jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns, with the exception of Japan, had lower statutory tax rates than the United States statutory tax rate during 2015, 2016 and in 2017 prior to enactment of the Tax Legislation. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings come from international operations, particularly in the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China and Canada. The lower statutory income tax rates in these jurisdictions, as compared to the United States statutory rate prior to the Tax Legislation, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of the Company’s jurisdictional activities, significantly reduced the Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate during 2017, 2016 and 2015. The effects of international jurisdictions, including foreign tax credits, reflected in the above table for 2017, 2016 and 2015 included those taxes at statutory income tax rates and at special rates levied on income from certain jurisdictional activities. The Company expects to benefit from these special rates until 2023. The Tax Legislation enacted on December 22, 2017 significantly revised the United States tax code by, among other things, (i) reducing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, (ii) imposing a one-time transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated and (iii) implementing a modified territorial tax system. The Tax Legislation resulted in a one-time net tax benefit of $52.8 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017. The net tax benefit included a $265.0 million benefit primarily from the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities to the lower United States corporate income tax rate, partially offset by a $38.5 million valuation allowance on the Company’s foreign tax credits and a $173.7 million transition tax on undistributed post-1986 earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated. The Company’s estimates are provisional and subject to adjustment in 2018 under the measurement period allowed by the SEC. The Company expects to finalize its accounting related to the impacts of the Tax Legislation on the one-time transition tax liability, deferred taxes, valuation allowances, state tax considerations, and any remaining outside basis differences in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries during 2018. As the Company completes its analysis of the Tax Legislation, collects and prepares necessary data and interprets any additional guidance issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and other standard-setting bodies, the Company may make adjustments during 2018 to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017. F-26 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The Tax Legislation includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company must make an accounting policy election to either record deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the effects of the GILTI provisions and plans to make an accounting policy election within the measurement period allowed by the SEC; therefore, the Company has not recorded deferred taxes for GILTI as of February 4, 2018. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows: (In millions) Gross deferred tax assets Tax loss and credit carryforwards Employee compensation and benefits Inventories Accounts receivable Accrued expenses Derivative financial instruments Other, net Subtotal Valuation allowances Total gross deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances Gross deferred tax liabilities Intangibles Property, plant and equipment Derivative financial instruments Other, net Total gross deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax liability 2017 2016 247.0 72.2 22.1 17.6 25.5 18.3 8.7 411.4 (106.3) 305.1 $ $ 248.1 88.7 27.2 26.6 31.7 — 0.0 422.3 (43.9) 378.4 (898.9) $ (43.8) — — (942.7) $ (637.6) $ (1,157.0) (67.6) (5.8) (8.3) (1,238.7) (860.3) $ $ $ $ $ At the end of 2017, the Company had on a tax effected basis approximately $271.5 million of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in various jurisdictions. This included net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.6 million and $54.2 million for federal and various state and local jurisdictions, respectively, and $30.4 million for various foreign jurisdictions. The Company also had federal and state tax credit and other carryforwards of $183.3 million. The carryforwards expire principally between 2018 and 2037. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Tax Legislation on its permanent reinvestment assertion. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Legislation, the Company’s undistributed foreign earnings were considered permanently reinvested and, as such, United States federal and state income taxes were not previously recorded on these earnings. As substantially all of the Company’s earnings of foreign subsidiaries are deemed to have been repatriated as part of the one-time transition tax, no additional United States income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have been provided on these earnings. The Company will complete its evaluation within the measurement period allowed by the SEC and record the tax effects of any change in its assertion in the period that its analysis is completed and that it is able to make a reasonable estimate of any unrecognized tax liability related to its foreign investments, if practicable. F-27 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. Uncertain tax positions activity for each of the last three years was as follows: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Increases related to prior year tax positions Decreases related to prior year tax positions Increases related to current year tax positions Lapses in statute of limitations Effects of foreign currency translation Balance at end of year 2017 2016 2015 $ $ 245.6 15.4 (10.3) 79.7 (46.3) 13.0 297.1 $ $ 226.8 2.8 (9.9) 52.0 (24.4) (1.7) 245.6 $ $ 244.5 4.3 (12.5) 40.0 (44.6) (4.9) 226.8 The entire amount of uncertain tax positions as of February 4, 2018, if recognized, would reduce the future effective tax rate under current accounting provisions. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s income tax provision. Interest and penalties recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements for the years 2017, 2016 and 2015 totaled an expense of $0.9 million, an expense of $1.0 million and a benefit of $(0.9) million, respectively. Interest and penalties accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 4, 2018, January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 totaled $29.8 million, $27.8 million and $27.6 million, respectively. The Company recorded its liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally in accrued expenses and other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign, state and local jurisdictions. Most examinations have been completed by tax authorities or the statute of limitations has expired for United States federal, foreign, state and local income tax returns filed by the Company for years through 2005. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of uncertain tax positions in a range of $40.0 million to $50.0 million may occur within 12 months of February 4, 2018. 10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Cash Flow Hedges The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure. The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its term loans under the 2016 facilities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of this exposure. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” for further discussion of the Company’s facilities and these agreements. The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate swap agreements are designated as effective hedging instruments (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”). The changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The cash flows from such hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing. There was no ineffective portion of cash flow hedges during 2017, 2016 and 2015. Net Investment Hedges The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of its investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2016, the Company designated the carrying amounts of its € 600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and € 350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024, respectively, (collectively referred to as the “foreign currency borrowings”) that it had F-28 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. issued in the United States as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” for further discussion of the Company’s foreign currency borrowings. The Company records the foreign currency borrowings at carrying value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings is remeasured at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the foreign currency exchange spot rate. Since the foreign currency borrowings are designated as a net investment hedge, such remeasurement is recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The fair value and the carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings designated as a net investment hedge were $1,226.7 million and $1,169.7 million, respectively, as of February 4, 2018 and $384.1 million and $367.5 million, respectively, as of January 29, 2017. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedges at inception and at the beginning of each quarter thereafter. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing. There was no ineffective portion of the net investment hedges during 2017 and 2016. Undesignated Contracts The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany transactions and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany balances. In addition, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the translation of the earnings of its subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, the Company entered into several foreign currency option contracts during 2017 and 2016. These contracts represented the Company’s purchase of euro put/United States dollar call options and Chinese yuan renminbi put/United States dollar call options. In connection with the foreign currency option contracts, the Company paid total cash premiums of $1.6 million and $2.3 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of February 4, 2018, all foreign currency option contracts have expired. The Company’s foreign currency option contracts were also undesignated contracts. As such, the changes in the fair value of these foreign currency option contracts were immediately recognized in earnings. This mitigated, to an extent, the effect of any strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro and Chinese yuan renminbi on the reporting of the Company’s euro-denominated and Chinese yuan renminbi-denominated earnings, respectively. The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. F-29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP.

In addition, a net gain in AOCL for interest rate swap agreements at February 4, 2018 of $1.0 million is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months. Amounts recognized in AOCL for foreign currency borrowings would be recognized in earnings only upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged net investment.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available. F-31 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis: 2017 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In millions) Assets: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Interest rate swap agreements Foreign currency option contracts Total Assets Liabilities: N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 1.5 2.4 N/A $ 3.9 N/A N/A N/A N/A $ $ $ 1.5 2.4 3.9 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 25.9 — 3.2 $ 29.1 N/A N/A N/A N/A 67.4 0.1 $ N/A N/A 2.6 7.1 N/A N/A Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Interest rate swap agreements N/A N/A $ 67.4 0.1 N/A N/A Contingent purchase price payments related to reacquisition of the perpetual rights to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks in India N/A N/A Total Liabilities N/A $ 67.5 N/A N/A N/A $ 67.5 N/A N/A N/A $ 9.7 $ $ 1.6 1.6 $ $ $ $ 25.9 — 3.2 29.1 2.6 7.1 1.6 11.3 The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is based on observable interest rate yield curves and represents the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments. The fair value of the foreign currency option contracts was estimated based on external valuation models, which used the original strike price, current foreign currency exchange rates, the implied volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and length of time to expiration as inputs. Pursuant to the agreement governing the reacquisition of the rights in India to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks (which the Company entered into in September 2011 in connection with its acquisition of its 50% ownership in its joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in India), the Company was required to make annual contingent purchase price payments based on a percentage of sales of TOMMY HILFIGER products in India in excess of an agreed upon threshold during each of six consecutive 12-month periods, with the final payment made in the third quarter of 2017. The Company made annual contingent purchase price payments of $0.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company was required to remeasure this liability at fair value on a recurring basis and classified this as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of such liability was determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on net sales projections for the Tommy Hilfiger apparel and accessories businesses in India, and was discounted using rates of return that account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Excluding the initial recognition of the liability for the contingent purchase price payments and payments made to reduce the liability, changes in the fair value were included within SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements. The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (consisting of property, plant and equipment) during 2017, 2016 and 2015, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process: (In millions) Fair Value Measurement Using 2017 2016 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 N/A N/A N/A N/A $ N/A N/A 0.6 0.4 1.4 Fair Value As Of Impairment Date 0.6 $ 0.4 1.4 $ Total Impairments 7.5 10.1 11.4 Long-lived assets with carrying amounts of $8.1 million, $10.5 million and $12.8 million were written down to fair values of $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $1.4 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions. The $7.5 million impairment charge recorded in 2017 was included in SG&A expenses, of which $1.8 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $3.4 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment, $0.4 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and $1.9 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment. The $10.1 million impairment charge recorded in 2016 was included in SG&A expenses, of which $1.0 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $3.7 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment, $1.4 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and $4.0 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment. The $11.4 million impairment charge recorded in 2015 was included in SG&A expenses, of which $2.0 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $3.1 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment and $6.3 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment. The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long- term debt were as follows: (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents Short-term borrowings Long-term debt 2017 2016 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value $ $ 493.9 19.5 3,061.3 $ 493.9 19.5 3,140.9 $ 730.1 19.1 3,197.3 730.1 19.1 3,248.7 The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable year. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts of long-term debt reflect the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts. 12. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS The Company has five qualified defined benefit pension plans as of February 4, 2018 covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements. The plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation and years of credited service. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these five noncontributory plans as its “Pension Plans.” The Company also has for certain members of Tommy Hilfiger’s domestic senior management a supplemental executive retirement plan, which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan. Such plan is frozen and, as a F-33 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. result, participants do not accrue additional benefits. In addition, the Company has a capital accumulation program, which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan. Under the individual participants’ agreements, the participants in this plan will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55. The Company also has for certain employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon, or shortly after, employment termination or retirement. The Company refers to these three noncontributory plans as its “SERP Plans.” The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”), the Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain Warnaco retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. Both of the Company’s postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans are frozen. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Postretirement Plans.” Reconciliations of the changes in the projected benefit obligation (Pension Plans and SERP Plans) and the accumulated benefit obligation (Postretirement Plans) for each of the last two years were as follows: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Benefit payments Benefit payments, net of retiree contributions Plan curtailments Plan settlements Medicare subsidy Actuarial loss (gain) Balance at end of year Pension Plans SERP Plans 2017 2016 2017 2016 Postretirement Plans 2016 2017 $ $ 627.5 26.3 25.7 (29.4) — (0.3) (65.3) — 63.5 648.0 $ $ $ 651.7 24.4 29.8 (75.6) — — — — (2.8) 627.5 $ $ 87.6 4.5 3.8 (5.1) — — — — 6.1 96.9 $ $ 88.6 4.3 3.9 (8.5) — — — — (0.7) 87.6 $ 11.4 — 0.4 — (1.6) — — 0.0 0.3 10.5 $ $ 15.8 — 0.5 — (1.9) — — 0.0 (3.0) 11.4 The actuarial losses in 2017 were due principally to decreases in the discount rates. In 2017, the Company completed the purchase of a group annuity using assets from the Pension Plans. Under the group annuity, the accrued pension obligations for approximately 4,000 retiree participants who had deferred vested benefits under the Pension Plans were transferred to an insurer. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $9.4 million, which was recorded in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement for 2017. The amount of the pension benefit obligation settled was $65.3 million. In 2016, benefit payments from the Pension Plans included lump sum payments, as certain vested participants, whose employment had been terminated, were offered an opportunity to elect a lump sum payment of their accrued pension benefit from the Pension Plans. Such payments totaling $44.8 million were made in 2016 using assets from the Pension Plans and satisfied the Company’s remaining benefit obligations for these participants.

For the Pension Plans, these losses were more than offset by the actuarial gain as a result of the difference between the actual and expected returns on plan assets. Amortization of prior service credits recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for Pension Plans, SERP Plans, and Postretirement Plans was immaterial during 2017, 2016 and 2015. Pre-tax amounts in AOCL that had not yet been recognized as components of net benefit cost in the Pension Plans, SERP Plans and Postretirement Plans were immaterial as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. Pre-tax amounts in AOCL as of February 4, 2018 expected to be recognized as components of net benefit cost in 2018 in the Pension Plans, SERP Plans and Postretirement Plans were immaterial. F-35 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP.

In 2016, two of the Company’s Pension Plans had projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets and one of the Company’s Pension Plans had an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets. The balances were as follows: (In millions, except plan count) Number of plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets Aggregate projected benefit obligation Aggregate fair value of related plan assets Number of plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets Aggregate accumulated benefit obligation Aggregate fair value of related plan assets 2017 2016 2 41.6 35.1 2 37.4 35.1 $ $ $ $ 2 34.6 34.0 1 3.3 3.1 $ $ $ $ In 2017 and 2016, all of the Company’s SERP Plans had projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as the plans are unfunded. Significant weighted average rate assumptions used in determining the projected and accumulated benefit obligations at the end of each year and benefit cost in the following year were as follows: Discount rate (applies to Pension Plans and SERP Plans) Discount rate (applies to Postretirement Plans) Rate of increase in compensation levels (applies to Pension Plans) Expected long-term rate of return on assets (applies to Pension Plans) 2017 2016 2015 4.08% 3.91% 4.24% 6.00% 4.59% 4.04% 4.27% 6.50% 4.72% 4.28% 4.22% 6.50% To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical level of the risk premium associated with the asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation. The assets of the Pension Plans are invested with the objective of being able to meet current and future benefit payment needs, while controlling future contributions. The investment policy aims to earn a reasonable rate of return while minimizing the risk of large losses. Assets are diversified by asset class in order to reduce volatility of overall results from year to year and to take advantage of various investment opportunities. The assets of the Pension Plans are diversified among United States equities, international equities, fixed income investments and cash. The strategic target allocation for the majority of the Pension Plans as of February 4, 2018 was approximately 40% United States equities, 20% international equities and 40% fixed income investments and cash. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-, mid- and small-cap companies located in the United States and abroad. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, municipal bonds, collective funds and United States Treasury bonds. Actual investment allocations may vary from the Company’s target investment allocations due to prevailing market conditions. F-36 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP.

The Company has not adjusted any prices received from the third party pricing services. (2) Valued at the closing price or unadjusted quoted price in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

The Company has the ability to redeem these investments at net asset value within the near term and therefore classifies these investments within Level 2. These funds invest in high-grade, short-term, money market instruments. (7) Valued at the net asset value of the fund, as determined by the closing price in the active market in which the individual fund is traded. This mutual fund invests in both equity securities and fixed income securities. (8) This category includes other pension assets and liabilities such as pending trades and accrued income. The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of risk within the plan assets as of February 4, 2018. Currently, the Company does not expect to make any material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2018. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. The expected benefit payments associated with the Pension Plans and SERP Plans, and expected benefit payments, net of retiree contributions, associated with the Postretirement Plans are as follows: (In millions) Fiscal Year Pension Plans SERP Plans $ 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023-2027 $ 24.7 25.3 26.0 26.9 28.0 157.1 7.4 7.3 8.1 8.4 11.0 48.0 Postretirement Plans 1.4 $ 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 3.8 A 1% change in the assumed medical health care cost trend rate for the Postretirement Plans would not have a material impact on the Company’s net benefit cost for 2017 or the accumulated benefit obligation at February 4, 2018. The Company has savings and retirement plans and a supplemental savings plan for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States who elect to participate. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions to the plans. The Company also has a defined contribution plan for certain employees associated with certain businesses acquired in the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, whereby the Company pays a percentage of the contribution for the employee. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $22.1 million, $19.7 million and $18.2 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. F-38 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; (vii) performance share units (“PSUs”); and (viii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, performance periods and performance measures, and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Through February 4, 2018, the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan (i) service-based non-qualified stock options (“stock options”), RSUs and restricted stock; and (ii) contingently issuable PSUs and RSUs. All restricted stock granted by the Company was fully vested at the end of 2015. According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying a RSU or PSU reduces the number available by two shares. Total shares available for grant at February 4, 2018 amounted to 5.8 million shares. Net income for 2017, 2016 and 2015 included $44.9 million, $38.2 million and $42.0 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $8.8 million, $11.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Effective the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted an update to accounting guidance that simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, which resulted in the Company’s election to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than continue to estimate expected forfeitures in determining compensation expense. This accounting change was applied on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease beginning retained earnings by $0.8 million, with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital of $1.1 million and an increase to deferred tax assets of $0.3 million. Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for further discussion. The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions in 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $27.2 million, $6.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively. As a result of the Company’s adoption of the update discussed above, the Company recognized a net excess tax benefit of $15.4 million related to share-based payments in its provision for income taxes in 2017. Prior to the adoption of this update, the Company recognized excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies in equity as a component of additional paid in capital. Such amounts were a net excess tax deficiency of $7.2 million in 2016 and a net excess tax benefit of $4.8 million in 2015. Stock Options Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying stock option award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). Such stock options are granted with a 10-year term and the per share exercise price cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is expensed over the stock options’ vesting periods. F-39 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during 2017, 2016 and 2015: Weighted average risk-free interest rate Weighted average expected stock option term (in years) Weighted average Company volatility Expected annual dividends per share Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option 2017 2016 2015 2.10% 6.25 29.46% 0.15 33.50 $ $ 1.45% 6.25 34.54% 0.15 35.62 $ $ 1.54% 6.25 36.26% 0.15 40.20 $ $ The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. The expected stock option term represents the weighted average period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the stock options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant. The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving stock option grants. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method. Stock option activity for the year was as follows: (In thousands, except years and per stock option data) Outstanding at January 29, 2017 Granted Exercised Cancelled Outstanding at February 4, 2018 Exercisable at February 4, 2018 Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option 75.74 $ 101.94 44.32 105.98 102.18 $ Stock Options 1,466 142 671 16 921 501 $ 100.93 Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) 5.3 Aggregate Intrinsic Value 34,996 $ 6.6 5.3 $ $ 45,020 25,109 The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $4.8 million, $8.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options that vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $7.2 million, $6.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $56.9 million, $6.9 million and $8.4 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At February 4, 2018, there was $8.9 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. Restricted Stock Units RSUs granted to employees since 2016 generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. Outstanding RSUs granted to employees prior to 2016 generally vest in three annual installments of 25%, 25% and 50% commencing two years after the date of grant. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full one year after the date of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements (excluding agreements for non-employee director awards) F-40 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed over the RSUs’ vesting periods. RSU activity for the year was as follows: (In thousands, except per RSU data) Non-vested at January 29, 2017 Granted Vested Cancelled Non-vested at February 4, 2018 Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU RSUs 812 445 263 77 917 $ $ 105.96 103.28 109.04 104.48 103.90 The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs granted during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $46.0 million, $38.8 million and $31.7 million, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $28.7 million, $17.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively. At February 4, 2018, there was $54.7 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Performance Share Units The Company granted contingently issuable PSUs to certain of the Company’s senior executives during 2017, 2016 and 2015 subject to a three-year performance period. For such awards, the final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period, of which 50% is based upon the Company’s absolute stock price growth during the applicable performance period and 50% is based upon the Company’s total shareholder return during the applicable performance period relative to other companies included in the S&P 500 as of the date of grant. The Company records expense ratably over the applicable vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied because the awards are subject to market conditions. The fair value of the awards granted in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was established for each grant on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which was based on the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate Expected Company volatility Expected annual dividends per share $ Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU $ 2017 2016 2015 1.49% 31.29% 0.15 96.81 $ $ 1.04% 28.33% 0.15 87.16 0.90% 29.10% $ $ 0.15 101.23 Certain of the awards granted in 2017 and 2016 are subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. For such awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 12.67% and 12.99%, respectively, for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

GUARANTEES The Company is deemed to have guaranteed lease payments for substantially all G. H. Bass & Co. (“Bass”) retail stores included in the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Bass business in the fourth quarter of 2013 pursuant to the terms of noncancelable leases expiring on various dates through 2022. These obligations deemed to be guaranteed include minimum rent payments and relate to leases that commenced prior to the sale of the Bass assets. In certain instances, the Company’s obligations remain in effect when an option is exercised to extend the term of the lease. The maximum amount deemed to have been guaranteed for all leases as of February 4, 2018 was $13.4 million and the Company has the right to seek recourse from the buyer of the Bass assets for the full amount. The liability for the guaranteed lease payments as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017 was $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the Company’s investments in PVH Australia and CK India, the Company has guaranteed a portion of the entities’ debt and other obligations. The maximum amount guaranteed as of February 4, 2018 was approximately $12.2 F-52 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) PVH CORP. million, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The guarantees are in effect for the entire terms of the respective obligations. The liability for these guarantee obligations was immaterial as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017. The Company has certain other guarantees whereby it guaranteed the payment of amounts on behalf of certain other parties, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate. 21. OTHER COMMENTS Included in accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were certain incentive compensation accruals of $108.9 million and $96.1 million as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively, and certain wholesale sales allowance accruals of $78.1 million and $113.7 million as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are included in other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and relate to the Company’s obligation to dismantle or remove leasehold improvements from leased office, retail store or warehouse locations at the end of a lease term in order to restore a facility to a condition specified in the lease agreement. The Company records the fair value of the liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is legally or contractually incurred. Upon initial recognition of the asset retirement liability, an asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement cost is recognized as expense through depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Changes in the liability for the asset retirement obligations are recognized for the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows. Accretion expense is recognized in SG&A expenses for the impacts of increasing the discounted fair value to its estimated settlement value. The following table presents the activity related to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for each of the last two years: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Business acquisitions Liabilities incurred Liabilities settled (payments) Accretion expense Revisions in estimated cash flows Currency translation adjustment Balance at end of year 2017 2016 21.8 — 4.1 (1.0) 0.5 0.3 1.4 27.1 $ $ 17.9 0.4 3.9 (0.6) 0.4 (0.2) 0.0 21.8 $ $ The Company is a party to certain litigation which, in management’s judgment, based in part on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of the Company’s finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which the Company entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $13.8 million for the development and operation of a fabric mill. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2026. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of (i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) LIBOR plus 4.00% thereafter. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $14.0 million and $13.9 million as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, respectively, and was included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

F-55 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, include certain amounts based on management’s best judgments and estimates. The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the underlying transactions, including the acquisition and disposition of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Audit & Risk Management Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, composed solely of directors who are independent in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing standards, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Committee’s charter, meets periodically with the Company’s independent auditors, the Company’s internal auditors and management to discuss internal control over financial reporting, auditing and financial reporting matters. Both the independent auditors and the Company’s internal auditors periodically meet alone with the Audit Committee and have free access to the Committee. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 4, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 4, 2018. The Company’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, a registered public accounting firm, are appointed by the Audit & Risk Management Committee, subject to ratification by the Company’s stockholders. Ernst & Young LLP have audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The reports of the independent auditors are contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. /s/ EMANUEL CHIRICO /s/ MICHAEL SHAFFER Emanuel Chirico Chairman and Chief Executive Officer March 30, 2018 Michael Shaffer Executive Vice President and Chief Operating & Financial Officer March 30, 2018 F-56 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of PVH Corp. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited PVH Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 4, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, PVH Corp. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 4, 2018, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of February 4, 2018 and January 29, 2017, the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and redeemable non-controlling interest and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 4, 2018, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) and our report dated March 30, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP New York, New York March 30, 2018 F-57 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of PVH Corp.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1938. New York, New York March 30, 2018 F-58 PVH CORP.
