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 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.

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.
