First quarter revenue at PVH increased 4 percent or 5 percent on a constant currency basis to 2 billion dollars compared to the prior year period. On GAAP basis, EPS was 0.89 dollar compared to the company’s earlier guidance of guidance of 0.73 dollar to 0.75 dollar. Non-GAAP EPS was 1.65 dollars compared to guidance of 1.58 dollars to 1.60 dollars.

Commenting on these results, Emanuel Chirico, the company’s Chairman and CEO, noted in a press release, “We continue to experience strong momentum in our Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses, which allowed us to exceed both our sales and earnings guidance for the first quarter despite the volatile macroeconomic environment and the highly promotional retail market in the US. We are pleased to increase our earnings guidance for the year despite the volatility that continues to persist in the macroeconomic environment.”

Review of Q1 results across businesses

Revenue in the Calvin Klein business for the quarter increased 5 percent or 6 percent on constant currency basis to 756 million dollars compared to the prior year period, which includes a reduction of approximately $15 million resulting from the November 2016 deconsolidation of the company’s Calvin Klein business in Mexico. Calvin Klein International revenue increased 11 percent or 13 percent on a constant currency basis to 380 million dollars due to continued strength in Europe and China. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales increased 3 percent.

Earnings per share on a GAAP basis is projected to be in a range of 1.35 dollars to 1.38 dollars compared to 1.11 dollars in the prior year period. On non-GAAP basis the company projects earnings per share will be in a range of 1.60 dollars to 1.63 dollars compared to 1.47 dollars in the prior year period.
