PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) shares are trading lower after the company issued weak first-quarter guidance.
The company reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings per share of $3.72, beating the Wall Street view of $3.53.
Quarterly revenues of $2.49 billion outpaced the analyst consensus of $2.42 billion. Sales were flat as compared to the prior year period and exceeded guidance of a 3% to 4% decline.
In the quarter under review, Tommy Hilfiger revenue increased by 1%, Calvin Klein revenue increased by 4%, and Heritage Brands revenue decreased by 41%.
Overall revenue in the company's international businesses increased 4% on growth in the Asia Pacific region despite the challenging macroeconomic environment in Europe, particularly impacting the wholesale business.
Quarterly gross margin expanded to 60.3% compared to 55.9% in the prior year period. The increase reflects benefits from lower freight costs, a favorable shift in regional and channel mix, and lower product costs.
Inventory decreased 21% year over year, which is in line with expectations, as the company continues to manage its inventory levels proactively.
Stock Repurchase: The company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock for $282 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, bringing total share repurchases for the full year 2023 to 5.7 million shares for $550 million.
