Brand and Regional Performance
Calvin Klein posted a 5% revenue increase, supported by growth in underwear and denim categories, with added visibility from campaigns featuring Bad Bunny. Tommy Hilfiger’s revenue rose 4%, boosted by marketing tie-ins with the summer blockbuster F1 The Movie and sponsorship of the US Sail GP team.
By region, the Americas led with 11% revenue growth, largely from wholesale. EMEA sales increased 3% year-over-year, while APAC saw a 1% decline due to wholesale softness and muted consumer spending in China. Direct-to-consumer sales were flat on a constant currency basis but still recorded 4% reported growth.
Margins and Challenges
Despite revenue gains, profitability pressures persisted. Gross margin declined to 57.7% from 60.1% a year ago, weighed down by tariffs, higher freight costs, and increased promotional activity. Non-GAAP EBIT slipped slightly to $178 million compared with $189 million last year. Inventory levels rose 13% as the company built product availability ahead of Q3 demand.
Guidance and Strategic Outlook
For fiscal 2025, PVH reaffirmed its EPS outlook of $10.75–$11 while raising its revenue forecast to low single-digit growth. The company expects Q3 EPS in the range of $2.35–$2.50 on flat-to-slightly higher revenue. Management also reiterated its focus on strengthening brand desirability, investing in product innovation, and global marketing execution.
CEO Stefan Larsson emphasized that 2025 remains a return-to-growth year, with PVH leveraging its Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brand power to navigate macroeconomic uncertainty. While stock buybacks are paused after $561 million repurchases earlier this year, the company continues to prioritize long-term growth initiatives.
Performance Overview
Despite operational improvements, PVH shares have underperformed in 2025. Year-to-date, the stock is down 23.14%, versus a 10.08% gain for the S&P 500. Over a one-year horizon, PVH has lost 22.13% compared with a 15.09% rise in the benchmark. However, its longer-term trajectory shows resilience, with a 48.52% five-year return.
Key Points
PVH delivered a solid Q2 earnings beat, powered by Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, while managing through margin pressures. With a raised revenue outlook, reaffirmed EPS guidance, and continued brand strength, the company is positioned for gradual recovery despite near-term stock weakness.
