Investing.com -- PVH Corp reported Wednesday fiscal first-quarter results that topped Wall Street estimates as the return of China consumers from the COVID hiatus spurred growth.
PVH Corp (NYSE:PVH) was flat following the report.
The company reported Q1 EPS of $2.14 on revenue of $2.16 billion, beating estimates of $1.93 on revenue of $2.12B.
Revenue growth was driven by "solid performance in its international businesses, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, including 44% growth in local currency in China following the lifting of COVID restrictions in the fourth quarter of 2022," the company said.
Gross margin fell to 57.9% from 58.4 in the same period a year earlier, pressured by higher product costs.
Tommy Hilfiger revenue increased 5%, while Calvin Klein revenue was flat compared to the prior year period.
Looking ahead, the company forecasts EPS to be approximately $10.00 compared to $3.03 on a GAAP basis and $8.97 on a non-GAAP basis in 2022. While revenue was expected to climb 3% to 4% as compared to 2022.
