SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements relating to our future revenue and cash flows, plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy, and some of which might not be anticipated, including, without limitation, the following: (i) our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at our discretion; (ii) in connection with the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger B.V. and certain affiliated companies, we borrowed significant amounts, may be considered to be highly leveraged, and will have to use a significant portion of our cash flows to service such indebtedness, as a result of which we might not have sufficient funds to operate our businesses in the manner we intend or have operated in the past; (iii) the levels of sales of our apparel, footwear and related products, both to our wholesale customers and in our retail stores, the levels of sales of our licensees at wholesale and retail, and the extent of discounts and promotional pricing in which we and our licensees and other business partners are required to engage, all of which can be affected by weather conditions, changes in the economy, fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, repositionings of brands by our licensors and other factors; (iv) our plans and results of operations will be affected by our ability to manage our growth and inventory; (v) our operations and results could be affected by quota restrictions and the imposition of safeguard controls (which, among other things, could limit our ability to produce products in cost-effective countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed), the availability and cost of raw materials, our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations and the migration and development of manufacturers (which can affect where our products can best be produced), changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost calculation, and civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political and labor instability in any of the countries where our or our licensees’ or other business partners’ products are sold, produced or are planned to be sold or produced; (vi) disease epidemics and health related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas, as well as reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure or becoming ill; (vii) acquisitions and issues arising with acquisitions and proposed transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to integrate an acquired entity into us with no substantial adverse affect on the acquired entity’s or our existing operations, employee relationships, vendor relationships, customer relationships or financial performance; (viii) the failure of our licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of our brands, or their misuse of our brands; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We do not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, any estimate regarding

revenue or cash flows, whether as a result of the receipt of new information, future events or otherwise .

PVH CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. GENERAL

PVH Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) together constitute a global apparel company whose brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including Calvin Klein , Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen , IZOD , ARROW, and Bass , which are owned, and Geoffrey Beene , Kenneth Cole New York , Kenneth Cole Reaction , MICHAEL Michael Kors , Sean John , CHAPS , Donald J. Trump Signature Collection , JOE Joseph Abboud and DKNY , which are licensed, as well as various other owned, licensed and private label brands. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear and, to a lesser extent, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands over a broad range of products. References to the aforementioned and other brand names are to registered trademarks owned by the Company or licensed to the Company by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities.

The Company’s fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to February 1 and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2012 .

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.

The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the prior year periods to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for certain wholesale apparel inventories in North America is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method.

3. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company formed a joint venture, TH Asia Ltd., in China, in which the Company owns a 45% equity interest. The joint venture assumed direct control of the Tommy Hilfiger wholesale and retail distribution business in China from the licensee on August 1, 2011. The Company made funding payments with respect to its 45% interest totaling $17,100

during 2011 (of which $14,850 was made during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011 ). This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed a $ 30,000 acquisition from Ganesha Limited and Ganesha Brands Limited, both of which are affiliates of GVM International Limited (“GVM”), of a 50% equity interest in a company that has

since been renamed Tommy Hilfiger Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“TH India”). TH India was GVM’s sublicensee of the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks for apparel, footwear and handbags in India. As a result of the transaction, TH India is now the direct licensee of the trademarks for all categories (other than fragrance), operates a wholesale apparel, footwear and handbags business in connection with its license and sublicenses the trademarks for certain other product categories. The Company made additional payments totaling $ 1,600 to TH India during 2011 with respect to its 50% interest. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 is $ 46,880 and $ 14,850 , respectively, related to these investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company is required to make contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein in connection with the Company’s acquisition in 2003 of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Calvin Klein”). Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the agreement (as amended) governing the Calvin Klein acquisition, of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands and are required to be made with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by the Company and its licensees and other partners to retailers.

5. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has five noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements. For those vested (after five years of service), the plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement based on career compensation and years of credited service. The Company also has for certain of such employees an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon, or shortly after, employment termination or retirement. The Company refers to these six plans as its “pension plans.”

The Company has an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering two current and 17 retired executives. Under the individual participants’ agreements, the participants in this plan will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65 , provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55 . In addition, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger B.V. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Tommy Hilfiger”), the Company also has for certain members of Tommy Hilfiger’s domestic senior management a supplemental executive retirement plan, which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan. Such plan is frozen and, as a result, participants do not accrue additional benefits. The Company refers to these two plans as its “SERP Plans.”

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. During 2002, the postretirement plan was amended to eliminate benefits for active participants who, as of January 1, 2003, had not attained age 55 and 10 years of service.

Net benefit cost related to the Company’s pension plans was recognized as follows:

6. DEBT

Short-Term Borrowings

One of the Company’s subsidiaries has a Yen-denominated overdraft facility with a Japanese bank, which provides for borrowings of up to ¥1,000,000 (approximately $12,800 based on exchange rates in effect on July 29, 2012 ) and is utilized to fund working capital. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at the one-month Japanese inter-bank borrowing rate (“TIBOR”) plus 0.15% . Such facility renews automatically unless the Company gives notice of termination. The full amount of this facility was borrowed as of July 29, 2012 . The weighted average interest rate on the funds borrowed at July 29, 2012 was 0.33% .

In addition, the Company had $40,000 of revolving credit borrowings outstanding under its senior secured credit facility as of July 29, 2012 . Please see the section entitled “Senior Secured Credit Facility” below for a further discussion.

As of July 29, 2012 , after taking into account the interest rate swap and cap agreements discussed below, approximately 75% of the Company’s total long-term debt was at a fixed rate or at a variable rate that was capped, with the remainder at variable rates that were uncapped.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility, which it amended and restated on March 2, 2011 (“the amended facility”). The amended facility consists of a Euro-denominated term loan A facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, a Euro-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and two multi-currency (one United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and the other Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound) revolving credit facilities. The maturity of the term loan A facilities and the revolving loan facilities is in January 2016. The maturity of the term loan B facilities is in May 2016. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments is limited, in each case, over specified amounts as defined in the agreement governing the amended facility.

The Company made payments on its term loans of $247,459 during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, including a voluntary prepayment of $149,275 in connection with the closing of the amended facility in the first quarter of 2011. The Company made payments on its term loans totaling $89,680 during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 .

The amended facility provided for initial borrowings of up to an aggregate of approximately $1,970,000 (based on applicable exchange rates on March 2, 2011), consisting of (i) an aggregate of approximately $1,520,000 of term loan facilities; and (ii) approximately $450,000 of revolving credit facilities. As of July 29, 2012 , based on applicable exchange rates on such date, the amended facility provided for approximately $440,000 of revolving credit, under which the Company had $40,000 of revolving credit borrowings and $70,718 of letters of credit outstanding. The maximum amount of revolving credit borrowings outstanding during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was $110,000 . The weighted average interest rate on the revolving credit borrowings as of July 29, 2012 was 4.75% . The Company had $1,103,854 outstanding under the term loan facilities as of, and based on applicable exchange rates on, July 29, 2012 . The repaid borrowings under the term loan facilities are not subject to reborrowing.

terms of the amended facility require the Company to repay certain amounts outstanding thereunder with (a) net cash proceeds of the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (b) net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested in the business in accordance with customary reinvestment provisions and (c) a percentage of excess cash flow, which percentage is based upon the Company’s leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined as the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1% (provided that, in the case of the term loan B facility, in no event will the base rate be less than 1.75% ) or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the amended facility (provided that, in the case of the term loan B facility, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be less than 0.75% ).

Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the average of the rates of interest per annum equal to the per annum rate of interest quoted, published and commonly known in Canada as the “prime rate” or which Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such screen is not available, any successor or similar service as may be selected by the administrative agent), and (y) 1% , or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the amended facility.

The borrowings under the amended facility in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the amended facility (provided that, in the case of the term loan B facility, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be less than 0.75% ).

The current applicable margins are (a) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, as applicable, (b) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, 2.75% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, as applicable, (c) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan A facility, 2.75% , (d) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan B facility, 3.00% and (e) in the case of the revolving credit facilities, (x) for borrowings denominated in United States dollars, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, as applicable, (y) for borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for Canadian prime rate loans, as applicable, and (z) for borrowings denominated in other currencies, 2.75% . After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to the Company’s fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012 and each subsequent quarter, the applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan A facilities and the revolving credit facilities will be adjusted depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a three-year term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $632,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its United States dollar-denominated senior secured term loan A facility to fixed rate debt. According to a pre-set schedule during the term of the swap agreement, the initial notional amount was reduced to $592,000 as of July 29, 2012 , and will continue to be reduced such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the facility is expected to always equal or exceed the then-outstanding notional amount of the swap. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the three-month London inter-bank borrowing rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated, and it will pay a fixed rate of 1.197% , plus the current applicable margin.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a 15-month term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designed with the intended effect of capping the interest rate on an initial notional amount of €165,895 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its Euro-denominated senior secured term loan A and B facilities. According to a pre-set schedule during the term of the cap agreement, the initial notional amount was reduced to €42,428 as of July 29, 2012 , and will continue to be adjusted such that the Company’s outstanding debt under the facilities is expected to always exceed the then-outstanding notional amount of the cap agreement. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the three-month Euro inter-bank borrowing rate (“EURIBOR”) that the Company will pay is capped at a rate of 2% . Therefore, the maximum amount of interest that the Company will pay on the then-outstanding notional amount will be at the 2% capped rate, plus the current applicable margin.

7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2020

On May 6, 2010, the Company issued $600,000 principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due May 15, 2020. Interest on the 7 3/8% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after May 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to May 15, 2015 by paying a “make whole” premium. In addition, the Company may also redeem up to 35% of these notes prior to May 15, 2013, by paying a set premium, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments is limited, in each case, over specified amounts as defined in the indenture governing the notes.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

The Company has outstanding $100,000 of debentures due on November 15, 2023 with a yield to maturity of 7.80% . The debentures accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%, which is payable semi-annually. Pursuant to the indenture governing the debentures, the Company must maintain a certain level of stockholders’ equity in order to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments, as defined in the indenture governing the debentures.

7. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were 27.7% and 34.6% , respectively. The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were 26.0% and 34.3% , respectively.

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 were lower than the United States statutory r ate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns and the continuation of the tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, partially offset by s tate and local taxes.

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011 were slightly lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns, largely offset by state and local taxes and foreign earnings taxed in the United States.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. In addition, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany loans. To help manage these exposures, the Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its senior secured term loan facilities. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement and an interest rate cap agreement to hedge against this exposure. Please see Note 6, “Debt,” for a further discussion of these agreements.

The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreement and interest rate cap agreement at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases, the interest rate swap agreement and the interest rate cap agreement (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) that are designated as effective hedging instruments are deferred in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”). The cash flows from such hedges are presented in the same category on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and no contracts were excluded from effectiveness testing. In addition, changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as effective hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

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



	Asset Derivatives (Classified in Other Current Assets and Other Assets)				Liability Derivatives (Classified in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities)

Total	$	18,873	$	516	$	8,244	$	29,331

At July 29, 2012 , the notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward exchange contracts for inventory purchases and intercompany loans was approximately $354,000 and $11,500 , respectively. Such contracts expire principally between August 2012 and July 2013 for inventory purchases and between August 2012 and September 2012 for intercompany loans.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments:

There were no amounts recognized in income related to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 .

A net gain in AOCI on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at July 29, 2012 of $11,397 is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Consolidated Income Statements to costs of goods sold as the underlying inventory is purchased and sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCI for interest rate contracts at July 29, 2012 of $4,049 is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments:

The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of July 29, 2012 .

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	July 29, 2012							January 29, 2012							July 31, 2011
	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total

The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to inventory purchases is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair values of the interest rate contracts are based on observable interest rate yield curves and represent the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments.

In relation to the reacquisition of the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks during 2011, the Company is required to make annual contingent purchase price payments based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of an agreed upon threshold of Tommy Hilfiger products in India for a period of five years (or, under certain circumstances, a period of six years) following the acquisition date. Such payments are subject to a $ 25,000 aggregate maximum and are due within 60 days following each one year period. The first one year period commenced on July 1, 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company made a contingent purchase price payment of $185 for the first one year period. The Company is required to remeasure this liability at fair value on a recurring basis and classifies this as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of such contingent purchase price payments was determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on net sales projections for the Tommy Hilfiger apparel and accessories businesses in India, and was discounted using rates of return that account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Excluding the initial recognition of the liability for the contingent purchase price payments and payments made to reduce the liability, changes in the fair value are included within selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following table presents the change in the Level 3 contingent purchase price payment liability for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 :



Balance as of January 29, 2012	$	9,559
Payments	—
Adjustments included in earnings	(538		)
Balance as of July 29, 2012	$	9,021

Additional information with respect to assumptions used to value the contingent purchase price payment liability is as follows:



Unobservable Inputs	Amount
Approximate compounded annual net sales growth rate	36.0	%
Approximate discount rate	20.0	%

A five percentage point decrease in the discount rate would increase the liability by approximately $2,000 , while a five percentage point increase in the discount rate would decrease the liability by approximately $1,500 .

A five percentage point increase or decrease in the compounded annual net sales growth rate would change the liability by approximately $1,000 .

There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.

The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (consisting of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets) during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:



	Fair Value Measurement Using
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3		Fair Value As Of Impairment Date		Total Impairments

Twenty-six weeks ended 7/29/12	N/A	N/A	$	—	$	—	$	259
Twenty-six weeks ended 7/31/11	N/A	N/A	$	—	$	—	$	1,062

Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $259 were written down to a fair value of zero during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 in connection with the exit of a facility as part of the Company’s integration of Tommy Hilfiger. Such assets were deemed to have no future use or economic benefit based on the Company’s analysis using market participant assumptions, and therefore no expected future cash flows.

Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $1,062 were written down to a fair value of zero during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011 in connection with the Company’s negotiated early termination of its license to market sportswear under the Timberland brand. Such assets were deemed to have no future use or economic benefit based on the Company’s analysis using market participant assumptions, and therefore no expected future cash flows.

The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt as of July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were as follows:



	7/29/12				7/31/11
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	261,986	$	261,986	$	287,691	$	287,691
Short-term borrowings	52,791		52,791		13,006		13,006
Long-term debt (including portion classified as current)	1,803,485		1,886,289		2,141,878		2,191,572

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable quarter. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan replaced the Company’s 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. The 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans terminated upon the 2006 Plan’s initial stockholder approval in June 2006, other than with respect to outstanding options under the terminated plans, which continue to be governed by the respective plan under which they were granted. Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“NQs”); (ii) incentive stock options (“ISOs”); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; and (vii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is subject to an award

agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, applicable performance period(s) and performance measure(s) and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines.

Through July 29, 2012 , the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan: (i) service-based NQs and RSUs; (ii) contingently issuable performance shares; and (iii) RSUs that are intended to satisfy the performance-based condition for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying an RSU or performance share award reduces the number available by three shares for awards made before April 29, 2009 and by two shares for awards made on or after April 29, 2009. The per share exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant (the business day prior to the date of grant for awards granted prior to September 21, 2006).

The Company currently has service-based NQs and ISOs outstanding under its 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. Such options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant.

Net income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 included $ 18,891 and $ 20,650 , respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation.

Options currently outstanding are generally cumulatively exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The vesting of options outstanding is also generally accelerated upon retirement (as defined in the applicable plan). Options are generally granted with a 10 -year term.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the options, net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 :



	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	7/29/12			7/31/11
Weighted average risk‑free interest rate	1.20		%	2.62		%
Weighted average expected option term (in years)	6.25			6.25
Weighted average expected volatility	45.16		%	44.35		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15		$	0.15
Weighted average estimated fair value per option	$	40.59		$	29.81

The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

Service-based stock option activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was as follows:



	Options	Weighted Average Price Per Option
Outstanding at January 29, 2012	2,189	$	37.77
Granted	187	91.88
Exercised	149	28.32
Cancelled	7	41.92
Outstanding at July 29, 2012	2,220	$	42.96
Exercisable at July 29, 2012	1,530	$	36.65

RSUs granted to employees generally vest in three annual installments of 25% , 25% and 50% commencing two years after the date of grant. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant for awards granted prior to 2010 and vest in full one year after the date of grant for awards granted

during or after 2010. The underlying RSU award agreements (excluding agreements for non-employee director awards made during or after 2010) generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of service-based RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the RSUs’ vesting periods.

RSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was as follows:



	RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 29, 2012	820	$	48.28
Granted	185	89.33
Vested	306	42.40
Cancelled	10	57.04
Non-vested at July 29, 2012	689	$	61.81

The Company granted restricted stock to certain of Tommy Hilfiger’s management employees in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger on May 6, 2010. The restricted stock was not subject to the 2006 Plan but its grant was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The shares of restricted stock were registered in the names of each such employee and were held in a third-party escrow account until they vested, at which time the stock was delivered to the applicable employee. All such restricted stock was vested as of July 29, 2012.

The fair value of restricted stock was equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 6, 2010 and was expensed, net of forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the restricted stock’s vesting period.

Restricted stock activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was as follows:



	Restricted Stock	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 29, 2012	333	$	60.41
Granted	—	—
Vested	333	60.41
Cancelled	—	—
Non-vested at July 29, 2012	—	$	—

The Company granted contingently issuable performance share awards to certain of the Company’s senior executives during 2012 subject to a performance period of two years and a service period of three years. The Company granted contingently issuable performance share awards to certain of the Company’s senior executives during 2011 subject to a performance period of two years. The Company granted contingently issuable performance share awards to all of the Company’s senior executives (other than senior executives of Tommy Hilfiger) on May 6, 2010 subject to a performance period of three years. The final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for each of the performance periods based on both earnings per share growth and return on equity for the awards granted in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 and earnings per share growth for the awards granted in 2010 and the third quarter of 2011 during the applicable performance cycle. The Company records expense for the contingently issuable performance shares ratably over each applicable vesting period based on fair value and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued. The fair value of the contingently issuable performance shares is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock during the performance cycle, as these contingently issuable performance shares do not accrue dividends prior to the performance conditions being met.

Performance share activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was as follows:



	Performance Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 29, 2012	590	$	53.96
Granted	96	88.52
Vested	—	—
Cancelled	8	50.73
Non-vested at July 29, 2012	678	$	58.86

The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were $ 12,606 and $ 7,805 , respectively. Of those amounts, $ 7,082 and $4,238 , respectively, were reported as excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits arise when the actual tax benefit resulting from a stock plan award transaction exceeds the tax benefit associated with the grant date fair value of the related stock award.

11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance and Conversion

On May 6, 2010, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 8 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200,000 and for net proceeds of $188,595 after related fees and expenses. The Series A convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is convertible at a price of $47.74 . The conversion price was established in a definitive agreement, which formed a binding commitment with the preferred stockholders in March 2010, and is subject to equitable adjustment in the event of the Company taking certain actions, including stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, consolidations or other capital reorganizations. The Series A convertible preferred stock is not subject to mandatory redemption nor is it redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Company at its option or that of any holder. The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote and participate in dividends with the holders of the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis.

The Series A convertible preferred stock was initially convertible into 4,189 shares of common stock. During the first quarter of 2012, one of the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock converted an aggregate of $94,297 of the Series A convertible preferred stock, or 4 shares, into 2,095 shares of the Company’s common stock.

13. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The Company utilizes the two-class method of calculating basic net income per common share, as holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock participate in dividends with holders of the Company’s common stock. Net losses are not allocated to holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock.

The Company computed its basic and diluted net income per common share as follows:



	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	7/29/12			7/31/11			7/29/12			7/31/11

Net income	$	87,702		$	66,729		$	180,816		$	124,396
Less:
Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock	—			—			(209		)	(314		)
Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock	(2,529		)	(3,920		)	(6,760		)	(7,008		)
Net income available to common stockholders for basic net income per common share	85,173			62,809			173,847			117,074
Add back:
Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock	—			—			209			314
Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock	2,529			3,920			6,760			7,008
Net income available to common stockholders for diluted net income per common share	$	87,702		$	66,729		$	180,816		$	124,396

Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net income per common share	70,403			67,129			69,471			66,964
Weighted average impact of dilutive securities	1,105			1,551			1,346			1,578
Weighted average impact of assumed convertible preferred stock conversion	2,095			4,189			2,785			4,189
Total shares for diluted net income per common share	73,603			72,869			73,602			72,731

Basic net income per common share	$	1.21		$	0.94		$	2.50		$	1.75

Diluted net income per common share	$	1.19		$	0.92		$	2.46		$	1.71

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share were as follows:



	Thirteen Weeks Ended		Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	7/29/12	7/31/11	7/29/12	7/31/11

Weighted average potentially dilutive securities	466	396	360	320

Contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 . The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 678 and 657 as of July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 , respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities.

14. NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

During the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 , the Company recorded increases to goodwill of $22,226 and $22,157 , respectively, related to liabilities incurred for contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein. Such amounts are not due or paid in cash until 45 days subsequent to the Company’s applicable quarter end. As such, during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 , the Company paid $25,749 and $25,305 , respectively, in cash related to contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein that were recorded as additions to goodwill during the periods the liabilities were incurred.

During the first quarter of 2012, one of the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock converted an aggregate of 4 shares into 2,095 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in a decrease in Series A convertible

preferred stock of $94,297 , an increase in common stock of $2,095 , and an increase in additional paid in capital of $92,202 . Please see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity.”

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $12,876 to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of its senior secured credit facility.

17. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

The FASB issued in May 2011 guidance to clarify and revise the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively beginning in 2012 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The FASB issued in September 2011 guidance that is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test by providing an entity with the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test that is currently in place. An entity would not be required to quantitatively calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The Company did not perform goodwill impairment tests during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position when such tests are performed.

The FASB issued in July 2012 guidance that is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by providing an entity with the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test that is currently in place. An entity would not be required to quantitatively calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Company did not early adopt this standard and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included in the immediately preceding item of this report.

We are one of the largest apparel companies in the world, with a heritage dating back over 130 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including our own brands - Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW and Bass and our licensed brands - Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Sean John, CHAPS, Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, JOE Joseph Abboud and DKNY , as well as certain other owned, licensed and private label brands.

Our business strategy is to manage and market a portfolio of nationally and internationally recognized brands at multiple price points and across multiple channels of distribution. We believe this strategy reduces our reliance on any one demographic group, merchandise preference, distribution channel or geographic region. Our internationally renowned designer brands, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger , offer additional geographic distribution channel and price point opportunities as compared to our heritage brands, while remaining consistent with our historical areas of established expertise: dress shirts, sportswear and outlet retailing.

A significant portion of our total income is derived from international sources. We acquired Calvin Klein in 2003 and have successfully pursued growth opportunities through disciplined extension of the Calvin Klein brands by launching our outlet retail and men’s sportswear operations in North America and by licensing the brands for additional product categories and geographic areas. We believe that we can also successfully capitalize on growth opportunities for the Tommy Hilfiger brands. The acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger has established an international platform for us in Europe that is a strategic complement to our strong North American presence and provides us with the resources and expertise needed to grow our brands and businesses internationally. We have recently exercised our rights to reacquire the existing license agreements held by affiliates of The Warnaco Group, Inc. for the distribution and sale of bridge apparel and accessories and the operation of bridge retail stores in Europe, which are currently operated under the ck Calvin Klein brand. We will commence sales in this channel in Europe in Fall 2013. We believe that this represents a significant opportunity to invest in the global potential of the Calvin Klein brand, as we plan to leverage Tommy Hilfiger’s established European platform to accelerate the growth of this business.

We incurred indebtedness of approximately $2.5 billion in order to fund the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. We have strengthened and plan to continue to strengthen our balance sheet through deleveraging and effective working capital management. We made approximately $90 million in term loan payments during the first half of 2012, for a total of approximately $790 million in term loan payments since the closing of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition. The majority of these payments were ahead of schedule. We believe that our persistent focus on and enhancement of our business strategies and our balance sheet strength will allow us to continue to invest in our businesses and capitalize on opportunities for future growth.

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to wholesale customers and franchise, licensee and distributor operated stores of men’s dress shirts and neckwear, men’s and women’s sportswear, footwear, accessories and related products under owned and licensed trademarks; and (ii) the sale through over 1,000 company-operated retail locations worldwide of

apparel, footwear, accessories and other products under our Calvin Klein , Tommy Hilfiger , Van Heusen , IZOD and Bass trademarks.

We generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. Calvin Klein royalty, advertising and other revenue, which comprised 77% of total royalty, advertising and other revenue in the first half of 2012, is

derived across various regions under licenses and other arrangements for a broad array of products, including jeans, underwear, fragrances, eyewear, footwear, women’s apparel, outerwear, watches and home furnishings, offered under our Calvin Klein brands.

Gross profit on total revenue is total revenue less cost of goods sold. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.

We completed the acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger in the second quarter of 2010. We incurred pre-tax charges of $41.7 million in the first half of 2011 in connection with the integration of Tommy Hilfiger and the related restructuring. We incurred pre-tax charges of $7.9 million during the first half of 2012 and expect to incur additional pre-tax charges of approximately $7 million during the remainder of 2012 in connection with the continued integration and the related restructuring.

We amended and restated our senior secured credit facility in the first quarter of 2011. We recorded debt modification costs of $16.2 million in connection with this transaction. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a further discussion.

In 2011, we announced we would be exiting in 2012 our licensed Timberland wholesale men’s sportswear business and our wholesale women’s sportswear business under our IZOD trademark. We incurred pre-tax charges of $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with the negotiated early termination of our license to market sportswear under the Timberland brand.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 29, 2012 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 2011

Total Revenue

Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 of $1.220 billion decreased 1% as compared to $1.228 billion in the second quarter of the prior year, inclusive of a negative impact of $56 million, or 4%, of which $41 million is attributable to foreign currency translation and $15 million is attributable to the exit from the Izod women’s and Timberland sportswear businesses. The decrease in net sales of $8.1 million was due principally to the net effect of the following items:

•

The aggregate reduction of $38.1 million of net sales attributable to our Heritage Brand Wholesale Dress Furnishings, Heritage Brand Wholesale Sportswear and Heritage Brand Retail segments. Comparable store sales in the Heritage Brand retail segment were relatively flat compared to the prior year period, while the Heritage Brand Wholesale Dress Furnishings and Heritage Brand Wholesale Sportswear segments experienced a combined 17% decrease, comprised principally of the $15 million negative impact of the exited sportswear businesses and a reduction in dress furnishings sales to a mid-tier department store retailer.

•

The aggregate addition of $24.2 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments. The revenue increase was due principally to retail comparable store sales growth of 11% in North America, European retail comparable store sales growth of 15% and European wholesale growth of 9%, partially offset by weakness in Japan, where we are currently in the process of strategically repositioning and investing in the brand, and a negative impact of $39 million related to foreign currency translation.


•	The addition of $4.8 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Other (Calvin Klein Apparel) segment, as our North American Calvin Klein outlet retail business posted a 5% increase in comparable store sales.

Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the second quarter of 2012 increased by $10.3 million to $117.0 million as compared to $106.7 million in the prior year’s second quarter. Royalty revenue within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment increased 3%, including the negative impact of 3% related to foreign currency translation. This increase was driven by strong performance globally in fragrance, women’s sportswear, dresses, footwear and handbags, which was partially offset by a 10% decline in royalty revenue related to our global jeans and underwear licensee. Tommy Hilfiger royalty revenue increased by $4.1 million compared to the prior year’s second quarter, due principally to strong performance in fragrance, watches, footwear and eyewear

and growth in Latin America and India. Advertising and other revenue increased $4.8 million compared to the prior year’s second quarter.

Gross Profit on Total Revenue

Gross profit on total revenue in the second quarter of 2012 was $742.7 million, or 55.6% of total revenue, compared with $724.1 million, or 54.3% of total revenue in the second quarter of the prior year. This 130 basis point increase was primarily due to our mix of business, as we experienced faster growth in our higher-margin Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses, while exiting the lower-margin Izod women’s and Timberland wholesale sportswear businesses. In addition, our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments experienced increases in gross profit as a percentage of revenue resulting from an increase in average unit retail selling prices globally.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2012 were $592.9 million, or 44.4% of total revenue, as compared to $590.7 million, or 44.3% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The 10 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was due to an increase in pension expense due, in large part, to a decrease in discount rates and a shift into the second quarter of approximately $10 million in advertising expenses for the Calvin Klein business, almost entirely offset by a decrease in integration and restructuring costs.

Equity in (Loss) Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates (China and India Joint Ventures)

The equity in (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates of $(74) thousand during the second quarter of 2012 related to our share of the net loss from our joint ventures in China and India for the Tommy Hilfiger brand, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Please refer to the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates (China and India Joint Ventures)” under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a further discussion.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased to $28.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $31.8 million in the second quarter of the prior year principally as a result of payments we made on our term loans during the prior twelve months. Interest income of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 was relatively flat as compared to the prior year’s second quarter amount of $0.4 million.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 were 27.7% and 34.6%, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where we file tax returns, as well as the continuation of tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, partially offset by state and local taxes.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 was slightly lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where we file tax returns, largely offset by state and local taxes and foreign earnings taxed in the United States.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 29, 2012 Compared With Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 31, 2011

Total Revenue

Net sales in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 increased to $2.532 billion as compared to $2.485 billion in the twenty-six week period of the prior year, inclusive of a negative impact of $76 million, or 3%, of which $61 million is attributable to foreign currency translation and $15 million is attributable to the exit from the Izod women’s and Timberland sportswear businesses. The increase of $47.8 million was due principally to the net effect of the following items:

•

The aggregate addition of $75.8 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments, due principally to retail comparable store sales growth of 13% in North America and 11% in Europe, combined with growth of 9% in the European wholesale business, partially offset by weakness in Japan, where we are currently in the process of strategically repositioning and investing in the brand, and a negative impact of $59 million related to foreign currency translation.


•	The addition of $21.8 million of net sales attributable to growth in our Other (Calvin Klein Apparel) segment, as the Company’s Calvin Klein outlet retail business posted a 7% increase in comparable store sales.

•

The aggregate reduction of $51.6 million of net sales attributable to our Heritage Brand Wholesale Dress Furnishings, Heritage Brand Wholesale Sportswear and Heritage Brand Retail segments. Comparable store sales in the Heritage Brand retail segment remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year period, while the Heritage Brand Wholesale Dress Furnishings and Heritage Brand Wholesale Sportswear segments experienced an 11% decrease, comprised principally of the $15 million negative impact of the exited sportswear businesses and a reduction in dress furnishings sales to a mid-tier department store retailer.

Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was $231.6 million as compared to $218.9 million in the prior year’s twenty-six week period. Of the $12.6 million increase, $7.0 million was attributable to Tommy Hilfiger royalty revenue, due principally to strong performance in footwear, watches, eyewear and fragrance and growth in India. Within the Calvin Klein Licensing segment, global licensee royalty revenue increased by 2% compared to the prior year’s twenty-six week period, including a negative impact of 2% related to foreign currency translation. The growth in Calvin Klein royalty revenue was driven by strong performance globally in fragrance, women’s sportswear, dresses, footwear and handbags, which was partially offset by a 7% decline in royalty revenue related to our global jeans and underwear licensee. Advertising and other revenue increased by $3.7 million in the first half of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s first half.

Our revenue for the full year 2012 is expected to increase 1% to 2% as compared to $5.891 billion in 2011. This includes a negative revenue impact of approximately 4%, of which approximately $150 million is attributable to projected foreign currency translation and approximately $100 million is attributable to the exit from the Izod women’s and Timberland wholesale sportswear businesses. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to increase 2% to 3% as compared to $3.051 billion in 2011, including the negative impact of approximately 5% due to projected foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to grow 6% to 7% as compared to $1.065 billion in 2011. Calvin Klein royalty revenue is expected to be negatively impacted by foreign currency translation, the upcoming reacquisition of the ck Calvin Klein European apparel, accessories and retail store licenses and the ongoing challenging business for the jeans and underwear product categories in Europe and the United States. Revenue for our Heritage Brand businesses is expected to decrease 4% to 5% as compared to $1.775 billion in 2011, including the negative impact of approximately 6% due to the previously mentioned exited sportswear businesses.

Gross Profit on Total Revenue

Gross profit on total revenue in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was $1.499 billion, or 54.3% of total revenue, compared with $1.453 billion, or 53.7% of total revenue in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 60 basis point increase was primarily due to our mix of business as we experienced faster growth in our higher-margin Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses while exiting the lower-margin Izod women’s and Timberland wholesale sportswear businesses. In addition, our Tommy Hilfiger North America and Tommy Hilfiger International segments experienced increases in gross profit as a percentage of revenue resulting from an increase in average unit retail selling prices globally.

We currently expect that our gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2012 will increase by approximately 150 basis points as compared to 2011. We expect that the 60 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue realized in the first half of 2012 will accelerate as product cost increases that negatively impacted the first half of 2012 will abate in the second half of the year. We also expect our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses, which have higher gross margin percentages than our Heritage Brand businesses, to increase as a percentage of our total revenue. Furthermore, the exit from the Izod women’s and Timberland wholesale sportswear businesses, both of which had low gross margin percentages and underperformed in 2011, should increase our overall margin.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 were $1.199 billion, or 43.4% of total revenue, as compared to $1.183 billion, or 43.7% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 30 basis point decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was due primarily to a decrease in integration and restructuring costs, partially offset by an increase in pension expense due, in large part, to a decrease in discount rates.

We currently expect that our SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2012 will decrease by approximately 50 basis points as compared to 2011. This decrease is principally due to a 130 basis point reduction driven by reduced integration and restructuring costs associated with Tommy Hilfiger and the absence of certain costs incurred in 2011,

including the termination of our Timberland license, our exit from the Izod women’s wholesale sportswear business and the settlement expense associated with our reacquisition of the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks (please refer to the section entitled “Tommy Hilfiger India Perpetually Licensed Rights Reacquisition” under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a further discussion). Partially offsetting this decrease is an expected increase in pension expense due in large part to a decrease in discount rates.

Debt Modification Costs

We incurred costs totaling $16.2 million during the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the modification of our senior secured credit facility. Please refer to the section entitled “Senior Secured Credit Facility” under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of this transaction.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates (China and India Joint Ventures)

The equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates of $1.9 million during the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 related to our share of income from our joint ventures in China and India for the Tommy Hilfiger brand, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Please refer to the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates (China and India Joint Ventures)” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a further discussion.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased to $58.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 from $65.2 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year principally as a result of payments we made on our term loans during the prior twelve months. Interest income of $0.5 million in the first half of 2012 was relatively flat to the prior year’s first half amount of $0.7 million.

Net interest expense for the full year 2012 is currently expected to decrease to a range of $115 million to $117 million from $128.1 million in 2011, principally as a result of the impact of payments we made on our term loans in 2011 and the first half of 2012, combined with additional payments we expect to make in the remainder of 2012. We currently plan on making approximately $210 million of additional payments on our term loans during the remainder of 2012, the majority of which will be voluntary.

Income Taxes

The income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 and July 31, 2011 were 26.0% and 34.3%, respectively.

The income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where we file tax returns, as well as the continuation of tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, partially offset by state and local taxes.

The income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011 was slightly lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where we file tax returns, largely offset by state and local taxes and foreign earnings taxed in the United States.

We currently anticipate that our 2012 effective tax rate will be between 23.5% and 24.0%. As compared to the United States statutory tax rate, the 2012 effective tax rate is expected to be lower as a result of being favorably impacted by growth in our Tommy Hilfiger International segment, a significant portion of which is subject to favorable tax rates. This international growth is also expected to favorably impact the 2012 effective tax rate as compared to 2011, for which the effective income tax rate was 26.3%. In addition, the 2012 effective tax rate as compared to 2011 is expected to be favorably impacted by the continuation of tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition and the absence of foreign earnings taxed in the United States. It is possible that our estimated rate could change from the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, or from discrete events arising from specific transactions, audits by tax authorities or the receipt of new information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Summary

Cash increased $28.8 million during the first half of 2012, which is net of $89.7 million of term loan payments. Cash flow for the full year 2012 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, including the amount of term loan payments we make in 2012.

Operations

Cash provided by operating activities was $207.3 million in the first half of 2012, as compared with $141.0 million in the first half of 2011. This variance was due primarily to an increase in net income as compared to the prior year’s first half.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates (China and India Joint Ventures)

We formed a joint venture in China, in which we own a 45% equity interest. The joint venture assumed direct control of the Tommy Hilfiger wholesale and retail distribution business in China from the licensee in 2011. We made funding payments with respect to our 45% interest totaling $14.9 million in the first half of 2011.

We completed a $30.0 million acquisition in the third quarter of 2011 from Ganesha Limited and Ganesha Brands Limited, both of which are affiliates of GVM International Limited (“GVM”), of a 50% equity interest in a company that has been renamed Tommy Hilfiger Arvind Fashion Private Limited (“TH India”). TH India was GVM’s sublicensee of the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks for apparel, footwear and handbags in India. As a result of the transaction, TH India is now the direct licensee of the trademarks for all categories (other than fragrance), operates a wholesale apparel, footwear and handbags business in connection with its license and sublicenses the trademarks for certain other product categories in the region.

Reacquisition of Tommy Hilfiger Tailored Apparel License

We entered into agreements during 2011 to reacquire from a licensee, prior to the expiration of the license, the rights to distribute Tommy Hilfiger brand tailored apparel in Europe and acquire an outlet store from the licensee. The transfer of the rights and store ownership will be effective December 31, 2012. Under these agreements, we made a payment of $9.6 million (based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the payment date) to the licensee during the fourth quarter of 2011 and are required to make an additional payment of €19.0 million (or approximately $23 million based on exchange rates in effect on July 29, 2012) to the licensee in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Tommy Hilfiger India Perpetually Licensed Rights Reacquisition

We reacquired in 2011 the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks that had been subject to a perpetual license previously granted to GVM. We paid $25.0 million during the third quarter of 2011 as consideration for the transaction. In addition, we are required to make annual contingent purchase price payments based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of an agreed upon threshold of Tommy Hilfiger products in India for a period of five years (or, under certain circumstances, a period of six years) following the acquisition date. Such payments are subject to a $25.0 million aggregate maximum and are due within 60 days following each one year period. The first one year period commenced on July 1, 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, we made a contingent purchase price payment of $0.2 million for the first one year period.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures in the first half of 2012 were $81.7 million compared to $73.9 million in the first half of 2011. We currently expect capital expenditures for the full year 2012 to be approximately $250 million.

Calvin Klein Contingent Purchase Price Payments

In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we are obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales (as defined in the agreement governing that acquisition, as amended) of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other partners to retailers. Such contingent purchase price payments totaled $25.7 million in the first half of 2012. We currently expect that such payments will be approximately $55 million for the full year 2012.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 6, 2010, we sold an aggregate of 8,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $200.0 million. The Series A convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is convertible at a price of $47.74. The conversion price was established in a definitive agreement, which formed a binding commitment with the preferred stockholders in March 2010, and is subject to equitable adjustment in the event of us taking certain actions, including stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, consolidations or other capital reorganizations. The Series A convertible preferred stock is not subject to mandatory redemption nor is it redeemable, in whole or in part, by us at our option or that of any holder. The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote and participate in dividends with the holders of our common stock on an as-converted basis.

The Series A convertible preferred stock was initially convertible into 4.2 million shares of common stock. During the first quarter of 2012, one of the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock converted an aggregate of $94.3 million of the Series A convertible preferred stock, or 4,000 shares, into 2.1 million shares of our common stock.

Dividends

Our common stock currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share. Our Series A convertible preferred stock participates in common stock dividends on an as-converted basis. Dividends on common and preferred stock totaled $5.5 million in the first half of 2012.

We currently project that cash dividends on our common stock for the full year 2012 will be approximately $11 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common and preferred stock outstanding as of July 29, 2012 and our estimates of stock to be issued during the remainder of 2012 under our stock incentive plans.

Financing Arrangements

Our capital structure was as follows:



(in millions)	July 29, 2012		January 29, 2012
Short-term borrowings	$	52.8	$	13.0
Current portion of long-term debt	88.0		70.0
Capital lease obligations	35.4		26.8
Long-term debt	1,715.5		1,832.9
Stockholders’ equity	2,781.2		2,715.4

In addition, we had $262.0 million and $233.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of July 29, 2012 and January 29, 2012 , respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings

One of our subsidiaries has a Yen-denominated overdraft facility with a Japanese bank, which provides for borrowings of up to ¥1.000 billion ($12.8 million based on exchange rates in effect on July 29, 2012 ) and is utilized to fund working capital. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at the one-month Japanese inter-bank borrowing rate (“TIBOR”) plus 0.15%. Such facility renews automatically unless we give notice of termination. The full amount of this facility was borrowed as of July 29, 2012 . The weighted average interest rate on the funds borrowed at July 29, 2012 was 0.33%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first half of 2012 was approximately $12.8 million.

In addition, we had $40.0 million of revolving credit borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility to fund seasonal working capital needs as of July 29, 2012. Please see the section entitled “Senior Secured Credit Facility” below for a further discussion.

Capital Lease Obligations

Our cash payments for capital lease obligations totaled $5.7 million and $5.2 million during the first half of 2012 and the first half of 2011, respectively.

7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2020

Our $600.0 million 7 3/8% senior notes, which we issued on May 6, 2010 under an indenture dated as of May 6, 2010, are due May 15, 2020. Interest on the 7 3/8% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

We may redeem some or all of these notes on or after May 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to May 15, 2015 by paying a “make whole” premium. In addition, we may also redeem up to 35% of these notes prior to May 15, 2013, by paying a set premium, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

We have outstanding $100.0 million of debentures due on November 15, 2023 with a yield to maturity of 7.80%. The debentures accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%, which is payable semi-annually.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On May 6, 2010, we entered into a senior secured credit facility, which we amended and restated on March 2, 2011 (“the amended facility”). The amended facility consists of a Euro-denominated term loan A facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, a Euro-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and two multi-currency (one United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and the other Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound) revolving credit facilities. The maturity of the term loan A facilities and the revolving loan facilities is in January 2016. The maturity of the term loan B facilities is in May 2016.

We made payments on our term loans of approximately $250 million during the first half of 2011, including a voluntary prepayment of approximately $150 million in connection with the closing of the amended facility in the first quarter of 2011. We paid $10.6 million of fees in cash in connection with the modification of our senior secured credit facility in the first quarter of 2011. We made payments on our term loans of approximately $90 million during the first half of 2012 for a total reduction of approximately $790 million of the amount of term loans initially borrowed at the time of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition closing.

As of July 29, 2012 , we had an aggregate of $1.104 billion of term loan borrowings under the amended facility outstanding (based on applicable exchange rates on July 29, 2012 ). The amended facility provides for approximately $440 million of revolving credit (based on applicable exchange rates on July 29, 2012 ), under which we had $40.0 million of revolving credit borrowings and $70.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of July 29, 2012 . The weighted average interest rate on the revolving credit borrowings as of July 29, 2012 was 4.75%. The maximum amount of revolving credit borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first half of 2012 was $110.0 million.

The terms of each of the term loan A and B facilities contain a mandatory repayment schedule on a quarterly basis. The outstanding borrowings under the amended facility are prepayable without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The terms of the amended facility require us to repay certain amounts outstanding thereunder with (a) net cash proceeds of the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (b) net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested in the business in accordance with customary reinvestment provisions and (c) a percentage of excess cash flow, which percentage is based upon our leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a base rate determined as the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1% (provided that, in the case of the term loan B facility, in no event will the base rate be less than 1.75%) or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the amended facility (provided that, in the case of the term loan B facility, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be less than 0.75%).

Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the average of the rates of interest per annum equal to the per annum rate of interest quoted, published and commonly known in Canada as the “prime rate” or which Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such

screen is not available, any successor or similar service as may be selected by the administrative agent), and (y) 1%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the amended facility.

The current applicable margins are (a) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan A facility, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, as applicable, (b) in the case of the United States dollar-denominated term loan B facility, 2.75% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, as applicable, (c) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan A facility, 2.75%, (d) in the case of the Euro-denominated term loan B facility, 3.00% and (e) in the case of the revolving credit facilities, (x) for borrowings denominated in United States dollars, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, as applicable, (y) for borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for Canadian prime rate loans, as applicable, and (z) for borrowings denominated in other currencies, 2.75%. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to our fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2012 and each subsequent quarter, the applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan A facilities and the revolving credit facilities will be adjusted depending on our leverage ratio.

During the second quarter of 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a three-year term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $632.0 million of our variable rate debt obligation under our United States dollar-denominated senior secured term loan A facility to fixed rate debt. According to a pre-set schedule during the term of the swap agreement, the initial notional amount was reduced to $592.0 million as of July 29, 2012, and will continue to be reduced such that, based on our projections for future debt repayments, our outstanding debt under the facility is expected to always equal or exceed the then-outstanding notional amount of the swap. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the three-month London inter-bank borrowing rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated, and we will pay a fixed rate of 1.197%, plus the current applicable margin.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2011, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a 15-month term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designed with the intended effect of capping the interest rate on an initial notional amount of €165.9 million of our variable rate debt obligation under our Euro-denominated senior secured term loan A and B facilities. According to a pre-set schedule during the term of the cap agreement, the initial notional amount was reduced to €42.4 million as of July 29, 2012, and will continue to be adjusted such that our outstanding debt under the facilities is expected to always exceed the then-outstanding notional amount of the cap agreement. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the three-month Euro inter-bank borrowing rate (“EURIBOR”) that we will pay is capped at a rate of 2%. Therefore, the maximum amount of interest that we will pay on the then-outstanding notional amount will be at the 2% capped rate, plus the current applicable margin.

The amended facility contains covenants that restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs, to take advantage of other business opportunities that may be in our interest or to satisfy our obligations under our other outstanding debt. These covenants restrict our ability to, among other things:


•	incur or guarantee additional debt or extend credit;


•	make restricted payments, including paying dividends or making distributions on, or redeeming or repurchasing, our capital stock or certain debt;


•	make acquisitions and investments;


•	dispose of assets;


•	engage in transactions with affiliates;


•	enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;


•	create liens on our assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and


•	effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease all or substantially all of our assets.

The amended facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including maximum leverage, minimum interest coverage and maximum capital expenditures. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the applicable facility. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable which would result in acceleration of our other debt. If we were unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the lenders could proceed against their collateral, which also secures some of our other indebtedness.

We are also subject to similar covenants and restrictions in connection with our other long-term debt agreements.

Please refer to Note 6, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a schedule of mandatory long-term debt repayments over the next five years.

As of July 29, 2012 , we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants.

SEASONALITY

Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season.

Due to the above factors, our operating results for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2012. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2012 , there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2012.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us as of July 29, 2012 , include cash equivalents, short and long-term debt, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap and cap agreements. Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of July 29, 2012 . Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Due to the currently low rates of return we are receiving on our cash equivalents, the potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on our interest income. However, there is potential for a more significant increase in short-term interest rates, which could have a more material impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at July 29, 2012 , the effect of a 10 basis point increase in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $0.3 million annually. Due to the fact that certain of our debt is denominated in foreign currency, our interest expense is, and in the future will continue to be, impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. Borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate, each of which is determined based on the jurisdiction of such borrowings. As such, our amended facility also exposes us to market risk for changes in interest rates. During the second quarter of 2011, we entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements for the intended purpose of reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility. Please refer to Note 6, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a further discussion. As of July 29, 2012 , after taking into account the interest rate swap and cap agreements, approximately 75% of our total debt was at a fixed rate or at a variable rate that was capped, with the remainder at variable rates that were uncapped. Given our debt position and the Euro to United States dollar exchange rate at July 29, 2012 , and the effect of the swap and cap agreements we entered into during the second quarter of 2011, the effect of a 10 basis point increase in interest rates on our interest expense would be approximately $0.1 million annually and the effect of a 5% increase in the exchange rate on our interest expense would be approximately $0.2 million annually.

Our Tommy Hilfiger business has a substantial international component, which exposes us to significant foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, the impact of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the Euro, the Japanese Yen and the

Canadian dollar, will have a negative impact on our results of operations. Our Tommy Hilfiger business purchases the majority of the products that it sells in United States dollars, which exposes the international Tommy Hilfiger business to foreign exchange risk as the United States dollar fluctuates. As such, we currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with United States dollar-denominated purchases by the Tommy Hilfiger business.

We are also exposed to market risk for changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar in connection with our licensing businesses, particularly our Calvin Klein business. Most of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensee’s local currency but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. In addition, certain of our other foreign license agreements expose us to exchange rate changes up to the date we collect payment or convert local currency payments into United States dollars. As a result, during times of a strengthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be adversely impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted.

In addition, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany loans. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to mitigate this exposure.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment based in part on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2012 for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which our business, operations and financial condition are subject.
