Revenue in the company’s owned and operated digital commerce business decreased 1 per cent compared to the prior year period (down 3 per cent on a constant currency basis), primarily due to the continuation of the company’s planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region, said the release.
The wholesale revenue of the company decreased 8 per cent compared to the prior year period (decreased 9 per cent on a constant currency basis), including a 4 per cent reduction resulting from the sale of the Heritage Brands women’s intimate’s business.
The overall revenue of company’s international businesses was flat compared to the prior year period (decreased 2 per cent on a constant currency basis), as growth in the Asia Pacific region in local currency was more than offset by the continuation of the company’s planned strategic reduction of sales in Europe to drive overall higher quality of sales in the region. In North America, revenue in the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses combined decreased 6 per cent compared to the prior year period, it added.
“We beat our top-and bottom-line guidance for the third quarter, fuelled by our relentless execution of the PVH+ plan. Throughout the quarter, we drove powerful consumer engagement for both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, and continued to build momentum in product, with significantly improved sell-throughs for the Fall 24 season across all regions and both our iconic brands, and we are coming into the holiday season with a fresh and strong inventory composition,” said Stefan Larsson, chief executive officer (CEO) at PVH Corp.
“We continue to manage our business prudently by remaining agile and maintaining strong expense discipline. Across the Company, we are focused on driving sustainable, profitable growth long-term by unlocking the full potential of our iconic brands, increasing quality of sales and generating cost efficiencies to deliver significant cash flow and attractive returns for our shareholders,” said Zac Coughlin, chief financial officer (CFO) at PVH Corp.
