PVH Strengthens Brand Support and Digital Capabilities for Growth

PVH Corporation PVH continues to benefit from the strength of its iconic brands, including Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, which enjoy strong global recognition and pricing power across key markets. The company is advancing a multi-year transformation strategy centered on strengthening its brands, accelerating digital capabilities and enhancing operational efficiency.

PVH is also benefiting from the effective execution of its PVH+ Plan, which is designed to accelerate growth by strengthening its core capabilities and deepening consumer connections with its brands. The strategy is centered on five key priorities: enhancing product offerings, increasing consumer engagement, strengthening its presence in the digitally driven marketplace, building a demand- and data-driven operating model, and improving efficiencies to support future growth investments.

PVH Corp.’s digital strategy focuses on leveraging Artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics and digital platforms to strengthen consumer engagement and improve operational efficiency. The company is using AI and data-driven insights to enhance demand forecasting, merchandising, inventory management and product assortment decisions. PVH is also expanding its use of generative AI across product development, marketing and other creative functions, supported by its partnership with OpenAI.

PVH continued to make progress in strengthening its direct-to-consumer (DTC) and digital channels. The company has significantly enhanced its e-commerce capabilities and omnichannel execution. This is driving higher online traffic, stronger engagement and improved full-price sell-through across channels. PVH is seeing positive momentum in DTC heading into fiscal 2026, with higher spring season sell-through trends across its brands and regions. Investments in data analytics, AI-enabled merchandising and DTC capabilities are enhancing consumer insights and personalization.

PVH Corp.’s continued expansion across international markets remains an important growth driver, supported by the strong global presence of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. The company is also streamlining its operations through the divestiture of non-core businesses, enabling greater focus on strategic priorities and more efficient capital allocation. Meanwhile, ongoing product innovation and investments in product development, digital capabilities and sustainability are helping strengthen the portfolio and support PVH’s long-term growth objectives.
