Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]

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 records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts 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 are designated as effective hedging instruments (“cash flow hedges”). As such, the changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.

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, the Company designated the carrying amounts of its (i) €600.0 million principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and (ii) €525.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), that were issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 7, “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 net investment hedges, 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 net investment hedges were $1,199.1 million and $1,233.6 million, respectively, as of July 30, 2023, $1,192.0 million and $1,215.4 million, respectively, as of January 29, 2023 and $1,147.8 million and $1,139.6 million, respectively, as of July 31, 2022. 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.

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”), which primarily include foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to third party and 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 balances.

The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The following tables summarize the effect of the Company’s hedges designated as cash flow and net investment hedging instruments:

A net loss in AOCL on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at July 30, 2023 of $4.8 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations to cost of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. 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.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s undesignated contracts recognized in SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations:


(In millions)	(Loss) Gain Recognized in SG&A Expenses
Thirteen Weeks Ended	7/30/23		7/31/22

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts (1)	$	(1.8)	$	12.5


Twenty-Six Weeks Ended	7/30/23		7/31/22
