The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets 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. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill. Please see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2022 for discussion of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets impairment testing process.

Goodwill

For the 2022 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test using a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. In making this election, the Company considered the changes resulting from the current macroeconomic environment, in particular the recent increase in interest rates and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business.

As a result of the Company’s 2022 annual impairment test, the Company recorded $417.1 million of noncash impairment charges during the third quarter of 2022, which were included in goodwill impairment in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments were driven primarily by a significant increase in discount rates. The impairment charges, which related to the Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International and Tommy Hilfiger Retail North America reporting units, were recorded to the Company’s segments as follows: $162.6 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $77.3 million in the Calvin Klein International segment and $177.2 million in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment.

Of these reporting units, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International was determined to be partially impaired. The remaining carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of the date of the test was $41.0 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumption for this business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $8 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $6 million. While the Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International reporting unit was not determined to be fully impaired, it may be at risk of further impairment in the future if the related business does not perform as projected, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in long-term growth rates or the weighted average cost of capital.

With respect to the Company’s other reporting units that were not determined to be impaired, the Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising North America reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $464.4 million by 9%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of the date of the test was $330.4 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumption for this business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $43 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $34 million. While the Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising North America reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment if the related business does not perform as projected, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach and validated using a market approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration, inclusive of a Company-specific 4% risk premium to account for the additional risk of uncertainty perceived by market participants related to the Company’s overall cash flows due to the macroeconomic environment. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at rates of 16.0% or 16.5%, depending on the reporting unit, to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, the Company used the guideline company method, which analyzes market multiples of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. The Company classified the fair values of its reporting units as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

For the 2022 annual impairment test of the TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of the Company’s most recent quantitative impairment test for these assets and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 183% as of the date of the Company’s most recent quantitative impairment test. The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including industry, market and macroeconomic conditions, as well as Company and asset-specific factors, including changes in the weighted average cost of capital for each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets since the date of the most recent quantitative test and the Company’s recent financial performance and updated financial forecasts as compared to those used in the most recent quantitative tests. After assessing these events and circumstances, the Company determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required.

For the 2022 annual impairment test of the Warner’s tradename and the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition performed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. With regard to the reacquired perpetual license rights, the Company determined that its fair value substantially exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the asset was not impaired. The fair value of the Warner’s tradename exceeded its carrying amount of $95.8 million by 4% at the testing date. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the related business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the asset of approximately $7 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the asset of approximately $7 million. While the Warner’s tradename was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment if the related business does not perform as projected, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of the Warner’s tradename was determined using an income-based relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the value of an asset is estimated based on the hypothetical cost savings that accrue as a result of not having to license the tradename from another party. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the Warner’s tradename at a rate of 16.0%. The fair value of the Company’s reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia

acquisition was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition at a rate of 19.0%. The Company classified the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
