ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
TH CSAP Acquisition

The Company acquired on July 1, 2019 the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia from the Company’s previous licensee in that market (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). As a result of the TH CSAP acquisition, the Company now operates directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in the Central and Southeast Asia market.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid was $74.3 million. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired consisted of $63.9 million of goodwill and $10.4 million of other net assets. The goodwill of $63.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International segment, which is the Company’s reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2020.

Australia Acquisition

The Company acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% ownership interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). Prior to the Australia acquisition, the Company and Gazal jointly owned and managed a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), with each owning a 50% interest. PVH Australia licensed and operated businesses in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of Oceania under the TOMMY HILFIGER, Calvin Klein and Van Heusen brands, along with other owned and licensed brands. PVH Australia came under the Company’s full control as a result of the acquisition. The Company now operates directly those businesses.

Prior to May 31, 2019, the Company accounted for its approximately 22% interest in Gazal and its 50% interest in PVH Australia under the equity method of accounting. Following the completion of the Australia acquisition, the results of Gazal and PVH Australia have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Gain on Previously Held Equity Investments

The carrying values of the Company’s approximately 22% interest in Gazal and 50% interest in PVH Australia prior to the acquisition were $16.5 million and $41.9 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, these investments were remeasured to fair values of $40.1 million and $131.4 million, respectively, resulting in the recognition of an aggregate noncash gain of $113.1 million during the second quarter of 2019, which was included in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value of the Company’s investment in Gazal was determined using the trading price of Gazal’s common stock, which was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, on the date of the acquisition. The Company classified this as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an unadjusted quoted price in an active market. The fair value of Gazal included the fair value of Gazal’s 50% interest in PVH Australia. As such, the Company derived the fair value of its investment in PVH Australia from the fair value of Gazal by adjusting for (i) Gazal’s non-operating assets and net debt position and (ii) the estimated future operating cash flows of Gazal’s standalone operations, which were discounted at a rate of 12.5% to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key executives of Gazal and PVH Australia exchanged a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. The Company is obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches as follows: tranche 1 – 50% of the shares one year after the closing, but the holders had the option to defer half of this tranche to tranche 2; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. With respect to tranche 1, the holders elected not to defer their shares and, as a result, the Company purchased all of the tranche 1 shares in June 2020. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares is based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) less net debt as of the end of the measurement year, and the multiple varies depending on the level of EBITDA compared to a target.
The Company recognized a liability of $26.2 million for the fair value of the 6% interest on the date of the acquisition, which is being accounted for as a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest. The fair value of the liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes inputs, including the volatility of financial results, in order to model the probability of different outcomes. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In subsequent periods, the liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period to its redemption value based on conditions that exist as of each subsequent balance sheet date, provided that the liability cannot be adjusted below the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date. The Company records any such adjustments to the liability in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the tranche 1 shares, the measurement period ended in 2019 and the Company paid the management shareholders an aggregate purchase price of $17.3 million (based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) for these shares in June 2020 under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement. The Company presented the $17.3 million payment within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as follows: (i) $12.7 million as a financing cash flow, which represents the initial fair value of the liability recognized for the tranche 1 shares on the acquisition date, and (ii) $4.6 million, attributable to interest, as an operating cash flow. For the tranche 2 shares, the Company recorded a loss of $4.9 million in interest expense during 2020, in connection with the remeasurement of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest to its redemption value, which reflects the amount expected to be paid under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement. The Company recorded a loss of $8.6 million in interest expense in connection with the remeasurement of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest attributable to the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares during 2019.

The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $24.1 million and $33.8 million as of January 31, 2021 and February 2, 2020, respectively, based on exchange rates in effect on those dates. The following table summarizes the presentation of the liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Prior to the closing of the Australia acquisition, Gazal had entered into an agreement to sell an office building and warehouse to a third party and, as such, the building was classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. The building was subsequently sold to a third party and leased back to the Company in June 2019. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for further discussion of this sale-leaseback transaction.

The goodwill of $65.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments in the amounts of $56.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, which include the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets of $222.2 million consisted of reacquired perpetual license rights of $204.9 million, which are indefinite-lived, order backlog of $0.3 million, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over 0.5 years, and customer relationships of $17.0 million, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10.0 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of 2020.

Acquisition of the Geoffrey Beene Tradename

The Company acquired on April 20, 2018 the Geoffrey Beene tradename from Geoffrey Beene, LLC (“Geoffrey Beene”). Prior to the acquisition, the Company licensed the rights to design, market and distribute Geoffrey Beene dress shirts and neckwear from Geoffrey Beene.

The tradename was acquired for $17.0 million, consisting of $15.9 million paid in cash, $0.7 million of royalties prepaid to Geoffrey Beene by the Company under the license agreement, and $0.4 million of liabilities assumed by the Company. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Sale of the Speedo North America Business

The Company entered into a definitive agreement on January 9, 2020 to sell its Speedo North America business to Pentland, the parent company of the Speedo brand, for $170.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. The
Company classified the assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 and recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $142.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 (including a $116.4 million noncash impairment charge related to the Speedo perpetual license right) to reduce the carrying value of the Speedo North America business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The estimated fair value, less costs to sell, reflected the amount of consideration the Company expected to receive upon closing of the transaction, inclusive of the working capital adjustment. The loss was recorded in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.

The $116.4 million noncash impairment charge related to the perpetual license right was recorded to write down its carrying value of $203.8 million to a fair value of $87.4 million, which was implied by the expected amount of consideration to be received upon closing of the transaction. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

The Speedo transaction was also a triggering event that prompted the need for the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test for its Heritage Brands Wholesale reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2019. No goodwill impairment resulted from this interim test.

The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169.1 million and deconsolidated the net assets of the business. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of the loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to changes to the net assets of the Speedo North America business subsequent to February 2, 2020, based on the terms of the agreement. The loss was recorded in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.

Upon the closing of the transaction, U.S.-based employees who were engaged primarily in the Speedo North America business terminated their employment with the Company. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned under its retirement plans. No further benefits will be accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. The gain was included in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” for further discussion.
The assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business classified as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and consisted of the following:
