PVH Corp. Reports 2011 Fourth Quarter And Full Year Results And Raises 2012 Guidance

PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) reported 2011 fourth quarter and full year results.

Non-GAAP Amounts:

The discussions of historical results in this release that refer to non-GAAP amounts exclude the items which are described in this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Exclusions.” Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts are presented later in this release and identify and quantify all excluded items.

Overview of Fourth Quarter Results:

• Earnings per share was $1.18 on a non-GAAP basis, which exceeded the Company’s guidance and the consensus estimate and represents an increase of 27% over the prior year’s fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.93.
• GAAP earnings per share was $1.11, which exceeded the Company’s guidance and represents an increase of 54% as compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter GAAP earnings per share of $0.72.
• Revenue increased 10% to $1.533 billion over the prior year’s fourth quarter. The revenue increase of $134.7 million is attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase of $111.2 million, or 16%, in the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger business; (ii) an increase of $29.5 million, or 12%, in the Company’s Calvin Klein business; and (iii) a decrease of $6.0 million, or 1%, in the Company’s Heritage Brands business.
• Earnings before interest and taxes on a non-GAAP basis of $128.4 million was relatively flat to the prior year’s fourth quarter, as the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein revenue increases noted above were offset by a decrease in the Heritage Brands business due to a reduction in gross margin rates resulting from the impact of product cost increases.
• GAAP earnings before interest and taxes improved to $108.9 million from $91.8 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter, primarily due to the impact of reduced integration and restructuring charges.

Fourth Quarter Business Review:

Calvin Klein

The Calvin Klein business continued its solid performance, posting a revenue increase of 12% over 2010 fourth quarter revenue to $278.5 million, with retail comparable store sales growth of 18%. Calvin Klein royalty revenue increased 16% as compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter, attributable to continued growth across most product categories and regions, with jeanswear, fragrance, footwear and accessories performing particularly well. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in the Company’s Calvin Klein wholesale sportswear business due to the timing of Fall shipments, as shipments were shifted into the third quarter from the fourth quarter to meet customer demand.
