PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006, the related consolidated income statements for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine week periods ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of February 4, 2007, and the related consolidated income statement, statement of changes in stockholders equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 26, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 4, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. GENERAL
The Companys fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to February 1, and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2007.
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. In addition, comparisons between the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006 are being impacted by the extra week (53rd week) in 2006, which results in the calendar weeks in each fiscal period of 2007 being compared to a different calendar week period in 2006. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the prior year periods to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year.

2. INVENTORIES
Inventories related to the Companys wholesale operations, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories related to the Companys retail operations, comprised entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of average cost or market using the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost is calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. Permanent and point of sale markdowns, when recorded, reduce both the retail and cost components of inventory on hand so as to maintain the already established cost-to-retail relationship. Cost for certain apparel and accessory inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO). Cost for all other inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). At November 4, 2007, February 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006, no LIFO reserves were recorded because LIFO cost approximated FIFO cost.
3. ACQUISITION OF SUPERBA
On January 2, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Superba, Inc. (Superba), a privately-held manufacturer and distributor of neckwear in the United States and Canada. Prior to the acquisition, Superba had been licensing the ARROW trademark from the Company for use on and in connection with neckwear. The Company paid $113,262, including transaction expenses, in the fourth quarter of 2006 and incurred additional transaction expenses of $320 during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 in connection with the
5
acquisition. The amount paid by the Company at closing for the acquisition was subject to adjustment based on the difference between the average working capital and closing date working capital of the acquired business. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007, the Company was repaid amounts totaling $1,102 based on such difference. The Company is required to pay contingent purchase price payments to Superba if the earnings of the acquired business exceed certain targets in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The maximum payout that Superba can receive is $15,000, $25,000 and $30,000 with respect to earnings in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Any such payments would be payable 90 days after the applicable year-end and would be recorded as additions to goodwill. The earnings target for 2007 had not been exceeded for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007, and no assurance can be made that the earnings required to be met by the acquired business to earn the maximum payout (or any other payout) can be achieved. Therefore, no such payment liability was recorded for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007.
4. GOODWILL
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended November 4, 2007, by segment, were as follows:
Wholesale | ||||
Wholesale | Sportswear | |||
Dress | and Related | Calvin Klein | ||
Furnishings | Products | Licensing | Total | |
Balance as of February 4, 2007 | $50,289 | $82,133 | $138,689 | $271,111 |
Contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein | - | - | 25,034 | 25,034 |
Adjustments to Superba purchase price allocation | (782) | - | - | (782) |
Balance as of November 4, 2007 | $49,507 | $82,133 | $163,723 | $295,363 |
Contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein relate to the Companys acquisition in 2003 of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, Calvin Klein). Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands for 15 years from the date of purchase.
5. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all United States employees meeting certain age and service requirements. For those vested (after five years of service), the plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement based on career compensation and years of credited service.
The Company also has an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon employment termination or retirement, or shortly thereafter.
In addition to the defined benefit pension plans described above, the Company has a capital accumulation program (CAP Plan), which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering 23 current and retired executives. Under the individual participants CAP Plan agreements, the participants will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the CAP Plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55.
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries also provide certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. During 2002, the postretirement plan was amended to eliminate benefits for active participants who, as of January 1, 2003, had not attained age 55 and 10 years of service.

Net benefit cost related to the pension plans was recognized as follows:

Expected return on plan assets | (4,338) | (3,881) | (13,014) | (11,632) |
Amortization of prior service cost | 25 | 83 | 76 | 248 |

Special termination benefits | - | - | - | 723 |
Total | $ 2,513 | $ 2,740 | $ 7,539 | $ 11,203 |
The settlement loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006 resulted from the departure of Mark Weber, the Companys former Chief Executive Officer.
The special termination benefits for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006 resulted from the closure of the Companys manufacturing facility located in Ozark, Alabama.
Net benefit cost related to the CAP Plan was recognized as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | |||
11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | 11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | |
Service cost, including plan expenses | $ 46 | $ 45 | $138 | $135 |
Interest cost | 251 | 242 | 753 | 726 |
Total | $297 | $287 | $891 | $861 |
Net benefit cost related to the postretirement plan was recognized as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | |||
11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | 11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | |
Interest cost | $ 349 | $ 330 | $1,047 | $1,049 |

Amortization of prior service benefit | (204) | (237) | (613) | (613) |
Special termination benefits | - | - | - | 242 |
Total | $ 242 | $ 201 | $ 725 | $ 994 |
6. INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) in the first quarter of 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $4,884, inclusive of interest and penalties, which was accounted for as a reduction to the Companys beginning balance of retained earnings for first quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company reclassified $48,955 from taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities to a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the first quarter of 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the beginning of 2007 was $53,839.
Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company elected to classify any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Companys income tax provision. Interest and penalties recognized in the Companys Consolidated Income Statement for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 totaled $2,238. Interest and penalties accrued in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 4, 2007 totaled $4,217.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007, the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $12,325 to $66,164. Such increase related principally to tax positions taken during the current year. If the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was recognized, $64,222 of this amount would reduce the effective tax rate and $1,942 of this amount would reduce goodwill.
7
The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign, state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, either examinations have been completed by tax authorities or the statute of limitations has expired for United States Federal, foreign, state and local income tax returns filed by the Company for years through 2002.
While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect this change to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The income tax effect related to foreign currency translation adjustments was an expense of $19 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Companys 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) was approved at the Companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June 2006. The 2006 Plan replaced the Companys existing 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. The 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans terminated on the date of such approval, other than with respect to outstanding options under those plans, which will continue to be governed by the respective plan under which they were granted. Shares issued as a result of stock option exercises are primarily funded with the issuance of new shares of the Companys common stock.
2006 Stock Incentive Plan
The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (NQs); (ii) incentive stock options (ISOs); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (RSUs); (vi) performance shares; and (vii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is evidenced by an award agreement that specifies, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, applicable performance period(s) and performance measure(s), and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines.
Through November 4, 2007, the Company has granted only service-based NQs and RSUs, as well as contingently issuable performance shares under the 2006 Plan. The per share exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant (the business day prior to the date of grant for awards granted prior to September 21, 2006). The maximum term of options granted under the 2006 Plan is ten years. The award agreements for options and RSUs granted under the 2006 Plan generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the participants retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan).
1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans
The Company currently has service-based NQs and ISOs outstanding under its 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. NQs and ISOs granted have a ten-year term. Options are generally cumulatively exercisable in either three equal installments commencing three years after the date of grant or in four equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The options provide for accelerated vesting upon the optionees retirement (as defined in the 1997, 2000 and 2003 Stock Option Plans).

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated fair value of the options, net of estimated forfeitures, is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options vesting period.
The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006, respectively:
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | ||||||
11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | |||||
Weighted average risk-free interest rate | 4.69% | 4.73% | ||||
Weighted average expected option life | 6.3 Years | 6.2 Years | ||||
Weighted average expected volatility | 33.3% | 33.3% | ||||
Expected annual dividends per share | $0.15 | $0.15 | ||||
Weighted average estimated fair value per share of options granted | $24.08 | $15.41 |
The Company receives a tax deduction for certain stock-based compensation transactions. For the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006, such tax deductions related only to the exercise of certain stock options. The actual income tax benefit realized from stock option exercises for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 and October 29, 2006 was $6,891 and $6,265, respectively. Of those amounts, $5,599 and $3,119, respectively, were excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. Excess tax benefits arise when the actual tax benefit resulting from a stock option exercise exceeds the tax benefit associated with the grant date fair value of the related stock option. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, the Company reported excess tax benefits as financing cash flows in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Stock option activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007 was as follows:
Weighted Average | ||
Options | Price Per Option | |
Outstanding at February 4, 2007 | 3,791 | $25.15 |
Granted | 229 | 58.71 |
Exercised | 641 | 19.26 |
Cancelled | 17 | 27.53 |
Outstanding at November 4, 2007 | 3,362 | $28.54 |
Exercisable at November 4, 2007 | 1,716 | $21.06 |
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007, the Company granted 159 RSUs at a weighted average fair value of $56.09 per share. RSUs granted to employees vest in three installments commencing two years after the date of grant. RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in four equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The RSU award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipients retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the RSUs vesting period.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company granted contingently issuable performance share awards to certain individuals. Certain of the Companys executive officers received contingently issuable performance share awards subject to a performance period of two years. Additionally, all of the Companys executive officers received contingently issuable performance share awards subject to a performance period of three years. The final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Companys achievement of goals for each of the performance periods based on both earnings per share growth and improvement in return on equity during the applicable performance cycle. Depending on the level of objectives achieved, up to a total number of 13 shares will be issued for the two-year performance period and up to 69 shares for the three-year performance period. The fair value of the contingently issuable performance shares is equal to the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant, reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on the Companys common stock during the performance cycle, as the contingently issuable performance shares do not accrue dividends prior to being earned. The Company records expense for the contingently issuable performance shares ratably based on such fair value and the Companys current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued.

9. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
The level of profitability in certain of the Companys retail stores was an impairment indicator, which caused the Company to evaluate whether the net book value of the long-lived assets in such stores was recoverable. Based on these evaluations, the Company determined that the long-lived assets in certain of these stores were not recoverable and recorded impairments of $1,331 through the third quarter of 2007 (of which $1,279 was recorded in the first quarter of 2007 and $52 was recorded in the third quarter of 2007) and $2,314 through the third quarter of 2006 (of which $1,918 was recorded in the second quarter of 2006 and $396 was recorded in the third quarter of 2006). These determinations were made by comparing each stores expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. Since the long-lived assets in certain stores were deemed not recoverable, the net book value of the long-lived assets in excess of the fair value was written off. Fair value was estimated based on the net present value of the future cash flows expected from these stores. The impairment charges were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, principally in the Retail Apparel and Related Products segment.
During 2006, the Company closed its manufacturing facility located in Ozark, Alabama, which resulted in the Company recording a long-lived asset impairment of $988 in the first nine months of 2006 (of which $549 was recorded in the first quarter of 2006 and $439 was recorded in the second quarter of 2006). The impairment charge was included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Wholesale Dress Furnishings segment.
During 2005, Federated Department Stores, Inc. (now known as Macys Inc. (Macys)) acquired The May Department Stores Company. Macys closed certain of the combined companys stores subsequent to the acquisition. Since the Company had identifiable long-lived assets consisting of shops within stores (fixtures located in third party customer locations) in certain of the stores that were closed, this was an impairment indicator, which caused the Company to evaluate whether the net book value of these long-lived assets was recoverable. The Company determined that the long-lived assets in these stores were not recoverable and recorded an impairment of $116 in the second quarter of 2006. Since the long-lived assets related to closed stores, there were deemed to be no future cash flows associated with these assets. Therefore, a fair value of zero was determined to apply to the long-lived assets in these stores. As such, the impairment recorded was equal to the net book value of the long-lived assets in these stores. This amount was included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Wholesale Sportswear and Related Products segment.
10. SALE OF INVESTMENTS
On January 31, 2006, Warnaco, Inc. (Warnaco) acquired 100% of the shares of the companies that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeans and accessories in Europe and Asia and the ck Calvin Klein bridge line of sportswear and accessories in Europe. The Companys Calvin Klein, Inc. subsidiary is the licensor of the businesses sold and had minority interests in certain of the entities sold. The Company accounted for the investments in these entities under the cost method and, as such, the investments had a carrying amount of $768 at the time of the sale. During the first half of 2006, the Company received $32,811 in cash proceeds from the sale of these entities, net of an amount held in escrow and associated fees. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $32,043 in the first half of 2006, which is net of related fees, an amount held in escrow and the carrying value of the investments. The Companys share of the cash proceeds being held in escrow represents security for indemnification of certain potential losses incurred by Warnaco, as well as other adjustments to the purchase price. During the first quarter of 2007, $3,335 was released to the Company from escrow. The Company recorded this release of escrow as an additional gain. The balance of the Companys share of the amount held in escrow as of November 4, 2007 totaled approximately $1,700, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The Company believes it will receive a distribution of its share of any amount remaining in escrow in 2008, and the Company will record the release of any such amount as an additional gain if and when such amount is released to the Company.

11. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computed its basic and diluted net income per common share as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | |||

Weighted average impact of dilutive warrant | 147 | 99 | 157 | 83 |
Total shares for diluted net income per common share | 57,833 | 56,813 | 57,760 | 52,208 |

Diluted net income per common share | $ 1.05 | $ 0.89 | $ 2.65 | $ 2.19 |
In connection with the Companys acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003, the Company issued $250,000 of Series B convertible preferred stock. The Series B convertible preferred stock had a conversion price of $14.00 per share and a dividend rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. In certain quarters in 2003, the Company elected not to pay a cash dividend and the Series B convertible preferred stock was treated as if an in-kind dividend was paid. As such, by the end of 2003, the liquidation preference of the originally issued Series B convertible preferred stock increased to $264,746. During the second quarter of 2005, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock converted an aggregate of $102,820 of the Series B convertible preferred stock into 7,344 shares of the Companys common stock. During the second quarter of 2006, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock completed a voluntary conversion of all of the remaining outstanding shares of Series B convertible preferred stock into 11,566 shares of the Companys common stock and subsequently sold 10,057 of such shares in a registered common stock offering. In connection with the conversion in 2006, the Company made an inducement payment to the preferred stockholders of $0.88 for each share of common stock received upon conversion, or an aggregate of $10,178. The inducement payment was based on the net present value of the dividends that the Company would have been obligated to pay the preferred stockholders through the earliest date on which it was estimated that the Company would have had the right to convert the Series B convertible preferred stock, net of the net present value of the dividends payable over the same period on the shares of common stock into which the Series B convertible preferred stock was convertible. In addition, the Company incurred certain costs, totaling $770, specifically related to the registered common stock offering.
As set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock, when convertible preferred stock is converted pursuant to an inducement offer, the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred in the transaction to the holders of the convertible preferred stock over the fair value of the securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms should be subtracted from net income to arrive at net income available to common stockholders in the calculation of net income per common share. As such, the inducement payment and offering costs paid by the Company in connection with the conversion and subsequent registered common stock offering resulted in a reduction of net income available to common stockholders for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share were as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended | Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended | |||
11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | 11/4/07 | 10/29/06 | |
Weighted average antidilutive securities | 298 | 11 | 242 | 174 |
11
According to FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period should not be included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for that period. The Company granted contingently issuable performance shares during the first quarter of 2007 that did not meet the performance conditions as of November 4, 2007 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2007. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting is 82. These contingently issuable performance shares were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities.
In addition, conversion of the Series B convertible preferred stock that was converted into 4,321 weighted average common shares outstanding for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006 was not assumed for the purpose of calculating dilutive securities outstanding because the resulting impact on the calculation of diluted net income per common share would have been antidilutive.
12. NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Omitted from the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2006 was a decrease in Series B convertible preferred stock of $161,926, an increase in common stock of $11,566 and an increase in additional capital of $150,360 associated with the conversion of all of the remaining outstanding shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of certain purchases made by one of the Companys suppliers from a raw material vendor. The maximum amount guaranteed is $500. The guarantee expires on January 31, 2008.
The Company has guaranteed to a former landlord the payment of rent and related costs by the tenant currently occupying space previously leased by the Company. The maximum amount guaranteed as of November 4, 2007 is approximately $4,900, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The Company has the right to seek recourse of approximately $3,100 as of November 4, 2007, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The guarantee expires on May 19, 2016.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 30, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $200,000 of its outstanding common stock. At the closing stock price on November 30, 2007, the total outstanding authorization of $200,000 represented approximately 8% of the Companys market capitalization. The Companys authorization is effective through the end of 2008. The Company plans to use existing cash on hand to fund all purchases, and all of the shares repurchased under the authorization will be placed into treasury. The Boards authorization permits the Company to effect the purchases through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated and guaranteed share repurchase agreements, and other means. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board at any time.
On December 10, 2007, the Company reached an agreement in principle to acquire from Warnaco the shares of Confezioni Moda Italia S.r.l. (CMI), the licensee of the Companys Calvin Klein Collection business. Warnaco is currently obligated to acquire the shares of CMI in January 2008 and to operate the Calvin Klein Collection business through 2013. Additionally, the Company granted Warnaco certain new licenses and expanded certain existing license rights. In return, Warnaco would make a payment of $38,500 to the Company. The Company would operate the Calvin Klein Collection business through 2012 and the amount paid to the Company would be subject to certain refund provisions if the Company were to cease operating the Calvin Klein Collection business prior to 2012. As such, the Company would amortize to income the amount received as earned based on the provisions of the agreement. It is expected that the recognition of such amounts would effectively offset projected losses for the Calvin Klein Collection business. Therefore, the transaction, which is targeted to close in mid-January 2008, would not be expected to have a material financial impact on the Company. The Company would also pay Warnaco an amount based on the net working capital of CMI as of the closing date.

Our historical strategy has been to manage and market a portfolio of nationally recognized brands across multiple product categories, through multiple channels of distribution and at multiple price points. This strategy was enhanced by our acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003, which provided us with one of the most famous designer names in the world and an additional platform for growth in revenue and profitability. Through that transaction, and to a lesser extent, our acquisition of Arrow in 2004, we were able to diversify our business model by providing growth opportunities from strong and highly profitable licensing streams, which do not require capital investments. Our acquisition in January 2007 of Superbas established neckwear business complements our heritage business in dress shirts, which presents us with opportunities to grow and enhance the performance of both businesses by providing us with the ability to produce all the neckwear for our owned brands over time and to leverage the design, merchandising and selling capabilities of both businesses to offer our customers a cohesive and comprehensive portfolio of branded dress shirts and neckwear.
We are currently implementing certain initiatives that are intended to build upon our business strategy, each of which we believe provides us with the opportunity to fill product and brand portfolio needs. The first initiative is our assumption of the wholesale IZOD womens sportswear collection, which was previously a licensed business. Such license agreement was terminated and, during the second quarter of 2007, we assumed responsibility for the development and sale of the line. Our second initiative is a licensing arrangement with The Timberland Company to design, source and market mens and womens casual sportswear under the Timberland brand in North America. We will assume the management of the mens apparel line, which is currently produced by The Timberland Company, for the Fall 2008 season and plan to launch a womens line for the Spring 2010 season. In connection with these launches, we have begun to incur costs related to the sourcing and development of the lines. Timberland is an authentic outdoor traditional brand targeted to the department and specialty store channels of distribution that we believe has a unique positioning that will complement our existing portfolio of sportswear brands and enable us to reach a broader spectrum of consumers. In addition to these initiatives, we have begun to open Calvin Klein specialty
15
retail stores in premier malls in the U.S., which are intended to serve as a platform for showcasing the totality of the Calvin Klein white label better product. We expect to open five of these stores by the end of 2007.
OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
We generate net sales from: (i) the wholesale distribution of mens dress shirts, mens sportswear, neckwear (beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006) and womens sportswear (beginning in the second quarter of 2007); and (ii) the sale, through approximately 750 company-operated retail stores, of apparel, footwear and accessories under the brand names Van Heusen, IZOD, Geoffrey Beene, Bass and Calvin Klein. Our stores principally operate in an outlet format. We also operate a full price collection store located in New York City under the Calvin Klein Collection brand, in which we principally sell mens and womens high-end collection apparel and accessories, soft home furnishings and tableware, and, in the third quarter of 2007, we opened our first Calvin Klein specialty retail store.
We generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. Calvin Klein royalty, advertising and other revenue, which comprised 89% of total royalty, advertising and other revenue in the first nine months of 2007, is derived under licenses and other arrangements for a broad array of products, including jeans, underwear, fragrances, eyewear, watches and home furnishings.
In the first nine months of 2007, net sales were 88% and royalty, advertising and other revenue was 12% of our total revenue.
Gross profit on total revenue is total revenue less cost of goods sold. We include as cost of goods sold, costs associated with the production and procurement of product, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and other product procurement related charges. Since there is no cost of goods sold associated with royalty, advertising and other revenue, 100% of such revenue is included in gross profit. Due to the above factors, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include all other expenses, excluding interest and income taxes. Salaries and related fringe benefits is the largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses, comprising 48% of such expenses in the first nine months of 2007. Rent and occupancy for offices, warehouses and retail stores is the next largest expense, comprising 21% of selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thirteen Weeks Ended November 4, 2007 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended October 29, 2006
Net Sales
Net sales in the third quarter of 2007 increased 22.2% to $611.4 million from $500.2 million in the prior year. This increase included the following: (i) $102.6 million of net sales attributable to growth in our wholesale segments; and (ii) $8.6 million of net sales attributable to growth in our retail segments. Approximately $30.0 million of the growth in our wholesale segments was due to the retail calendar shift caused by the extra week (53rd week) in 2006, which results in the thirteen calendar weeks in each fiscal quarter of 2007 being compared to a different thirteen calendar week period in 2006. The remaining increase of $72.6 million in our wholesale segments was due to the addition of sales from our recently-acquired neckwear business combined with growth in our wholesale dress shirt business, growth in our Calvin Klein sportswear business and the addition of sales associated with our assumption of the IZOD womens sportswear business in the second quarter of 2007. The growth in our retail segments was primarily driven by comparable store sales growth of approximately 1% in our outlet retail business and the opening of Calvin Klein and other outlet retail stores.
Royalty, Advertising and Other Revenue
Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the third quarter of 2007 increased 24.9% to $85.0 million from $68.0 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to our Calvin Klein Licensing segment due, in part, to continued strength in fragrances. The Calvin Klein MAN fragrance line was successfully launched in the third quarter of 2007, and the strong sales continued for the mens and womens CKIN2U and euphoria fragrance lines. In addition, jeans and underwear sales grew significantly, both internationally and domestically which, combined with
16
the success of licensed product categories introduced over the past four years, further contributed to the revenue increase.
Gross Profit on Total Revenue
Gross profit on total revenue in the third quarter of 2007 was $328.6 million, or 47.2% of total revenue, compared with $280.4 million, or 49.3% of total revenue in the prior year. The 210 basis point decrease was due principally to a change in sales mix, as net sales attributable to our wholesale businesses, which typically have lower gross margins than our retail businesses, increased as a percentage of our total net sales, due to faster sales growth in our wholesale businesses. Also contributing to the decrease was a decrease in gross margin in our wholesale sportswear and retail businesses, resulting principally from increased promotional selling to move Fall product and maintain clean inventory levels during the unseasonably warm weather that was experienced in much of the United States during September and October of 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were $226.3 million, or 32.5% of total revenue, and $195.7 million, or 34.4% of total revenue, in the prior year. The 190 basis point decrease was due principally to the growth in our wholesale businesses mentioned above, as our wholesale businesses typically have lower expense rates than our retail businesses. The $30.6 million increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2007 included: (i) an increase in advertising expenditures of $15.1 million related principally to our Calvin Klein brand; (ii) expenses of approximately $11.0 million related to our recently-acquired neckwear business; and (iii) start-up costs of $3.5 million associated with our Timberland wholesale sportswear business and Calvin Klein specialty retail stores.
Interest Expense, Net
The majority of our interest expense relates to our fixed rate long-term debt. As a result, variances in our net interest expense tend to be driven by changes in interest income and, to a lesser extent, costs related to our revolving credit facility.
Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2007 was $4.1 million, which was relatively flat to the prior year amount of $3.9 million.
Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48). Under FIN 48, volatility in our tax rate may occur, either from quarter to quarter, or from year to year, due to events or new information that causes us to re-evaluate our unrecognized tax benefits.
Income taxes for the third quarter of 2007 were provided for at a rate of 38.0% compared with last years full year rate of 37.5%.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 4, 2007 Compared With Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2006
Net Sales
Net sales in the first nine months of 2007 increased 19.0% to $1,620.7 million from $1,361.5 million in the prior year. This increase included the following: (i) $201.4 million of net sales attributable to growth in our wholesale segments; and (ii) $57.8 million of net sales attributable to growth in our retail segments. Approximately $60.0 million of the growth in our wholesale segments was due to the calendar shift caused by the 53rd week in 2006, which results in the thirty-nine calendar weeks in 2007 being compared to a different thirty-nine week period in 2006. The remaining increase of $141.4 million in our wholesale segments was due to the addition of sales from our recently-acquired neckwear business combined with growth in our wholesale dress shirt business, growth in our Calvin Klein sportswear business and the addition of sales associated with our assumption of the IZOD womens sportswear business in the second quarter of 2007. The growth in our retail segments was primarily driven by comparable store sales growth of approximately 4% in our outlet retail business and the opening of Calvin Klein and other outlet retail stores.
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 will be negatively impacted by the calendar shift caused by the 53rd week in 2006. The positive impact of $60.0 million on revenue for the first nine months of 2007 as a result of the calendar
17
shift will be more than offset by a negative impact of $70.0 million in the fourth quarter as a result of the calendar shift and the additional week in the fourth quarter of 2006. This results in a negative impact of approximately $10.0 million for the full year. Net sales for the full year 2007 are expected to increase approximately 16%.
Royalty, Advertising and Other Revenue
Royalty, advertising and other revenue in the first nine months of 2007 increased 27.8% to $219.9 million from $172.1 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to our Calvin Klein Licensing segment due, in part, to the continued success of the fragrance business, which experienced the successful launches of the new mens and womens CKIN2U fragrance lines and the new Calvin Klein MAN fragrance line, as well as continued strength in sales of both the mens and womens euphoria fragrance lines. In addition, jeans and underwear sales grew significantly, both internationally and domestically which, combined with the success of licensed product categories introduced over the past four years, further contributed to the revenue increase.
Royalty, advertising and other revenue is expected to increase approximately 22% in total for the full year 2007 due principally to our Calvin Klein Licensing segment for the reasons noted above. Royalty, advertising and other revenue comparisons for the fourth quarter are expected to be negatively affected by our non-Calvin Klein segments as a result of the loss of royalties associated with ARROW neckwear, which had been licensed to Superba, and the loss of royalties associated with IZOD neckwear and IZOD womens sportswear, which had been licensed to third parties, but are now being produced by us as a result of the termination or expiration of those licenses.
Gross Profit on Total Revenue
Gross profit on total revenue in the first nine months of 2007 was $898.6 million, or 48.8% of total revenue, compared with $750.3 million, or 48.9% of total revenue in the prior year. Gross margin improvements due to strong product sell-throughs in our wholesale dress shirt business throughout the year and in our outlet retail business during the first half of the year, which yielded more full-price selling, were more than offset by gross margin decreases due to: (i) a change in sales mix, as net sales attributable to our wholesale businesses, which typically have lower gross margins than our retail businesses, increased as a percentage of our total net sales, due to faster sales growth in our wholesale businesses; and (ii) increased promotional selling in our wholesale sportswear business, which has been negatively affected by the overall weak retail environment throughout the year and the unseasonably warm weather that was experienced in much of the United States during September and October of 2007.
We currently expect that the gross profit on total revenue percentage will decrease approximately 60 to 70 basis points for the full year 2007. We anticipate that during the remainder of 2007, our gross profit percentage will continue to decrease compared to the prior year as revenue grows faster in our wholesale businesses, which typically carry a lower gross margin percentage than our retail businesses. The faster revenue growth in our wholesale businesses is due, in part, to the addition of sales associated with our new neckwear and IZOD womens sportswear businesses. In addition, the current difficult retail environment is expected to put pressure on the gross margin rate in the fourth quarter, particularly in our retail and wholesale sportswear businesses, where we will continue to take necessary promotional markdowns to maintain clean inventory levels.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2007 were $642.9 million, or 34.9% of total revenue, and $564.1 million, or 36.8% of total revenue, in the prior year. The 190 basis point decrease was due principally to the growth in our wholesale businesses mentioned above, as our wholesale businesses typically have lower expense rates than our retail businesses. The $78.7 million increase in SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2007 included: (i) expenses of approximately $31.0 million related to our recently-acquired neckwear business; (ii) an increase in advertising expenditures of $29.2 million, principally related to our Calvin Klein brand; (iii) increased expenses of $24.9 million in our Wholesale Sportswear and Related Products segment and our retail segments principally to support the sales growth previously mentioned; and (iv) start-up costs of approximately $7.0 million associated with our Timberland wholesale sportswear business and Calvin Klein specialty retail stores. Also impacting the change in SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the prior year was the absence of costs incurred in the first nine months of 2006 of: (i) $11.3 million associated with the closing of our manufacturing facility in Ozark, Alabama in the second quarter of 2006; and (ii) $10.5 million in severance and other separation costs associated with the departure in the first quarter of 2006 of Mark Weber, our former Chief Executive Officer.
Our full year 2007 SG&A expenses are currently expected to decrease as a percentage of total revenue by approximately 200 basis points compared with the full year 2006 percentage, which is in line with the decrease in the
18
first nine months of the year. This decrease includes a decrease of 100 basis points attributable to the absence in 2007 of the 2006 facility closing costs and departure costs described above.
Gain on Sale of Investments
We sold, in the first quarter of 2006, minority interests held by one of our subsidiaries in certain entities that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeans and accessories in Europe and Asia and the ck Calvin Klein bridge line of sportswear and accessories in Europe. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $32.0 million in the first half of 2006, which was net of related fees, an amount held in escrow and the carrying value of the investments. Our share of the proceeds being held in escrow represents security for indemnification of certain potential losses incurred by the purchaser, as well as other adjustments to the purchase price. During the first quarter of 2007, $3.3 million was released to us from escrow. We recorded this release of escrow as an additional gain. The balance of our share of the amount held in escrow as of November 4, 2007 totaled approximately $1.7 million, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. We believe we will receive a distribution of our share of any amount remaining in escrow in 2008, and we will record the release of any such amount as an additional gain if and when such amount is released to us.
Interest Expense, Net
The majority of our interest expense relates to our fixed rate long-term debt. As a result, variances in our net interest expense tend to be driven by changes in interest income and, to a lesser extent, costs related to our revolving credit facility.
Net interest expense in the first nine months of 2007 was $12.5 million compared with $13.9 million in the prior year. The net interest expense decrease was due principally to an increase in interest income from an increase in average investment rates of return over the prior year.
Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. Under FIN 48, additional volatility in our tax rate may occur in the future, either from quarter to quarter, or from year to year, due to events or new information that causes us to re-evaluate our unrecognized tax benefits.
Income taxes for the first nine months of 2007 were provided for at a rate of 38.0% compared with last years full year rate of 37.5%. We currently estimate our full year rate for 2007 to be in a range of 37.5% to 37.8%. It is possible that our estimated full year rate could change from discrete events arising from specific transactions, audits by tax authorities or the receipt of new information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Generally, our principal source of cash is from operations, and our principal uses of cash are for capital expenditures, contingent purchase price payments and dividends.
Operations
Cash provided by operating activities was $43.2 million in the first nine months of 2007, which compares with $112.4 million in the first nine months of the prior year. This decrease was due principally to changes in working capital, including: (i) an increase in accounts receivable related principally to the revenue growth mentioned previously, including from our new IZOD womens sportswear business, combined with the calendar shift caused by the 53rd week in 2006, which resulted in a higher sales volume near the end of the third quarter of 2007 when compared to the prior year; and (ii) an increase in inventories primarily related to an anticipated sales increase in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior years fourth quarter, combined with the calendar shift, which caused merchandise receipts in our retail businesses to occur at the end of the third quarter this year, rather than the first week of the fourth quarter as occurred last year. Partially offsetting these cash decreases were: (i) an increase in net income; and (ii) an increase in accounts payable related principally to the timing of inventory payments in our sportswear and retail businesses.
For the full year 2007, we expect that our cash provided by operating activities will exceed net income, due principally to depreciation and amortization and noncash stock-based compensation expense. This is expected to be offset, in part, by increases in working capital to support our growth.
19
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2007 were $61.0 million. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2007 will increase to a range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million from the prior year amount of $46.2 million. The planned increase in capital expenditures for 2007 is due principally to: (i) additional office space, warehouse and distribution facility expansion and information technology spending, both domestically and internationally, to allow our infrastructure to support the sales growth and new businesses mentioned previously; and (ii) the build out of Calvin Klein specialty retail stores.
Contingent Purchase Price Payments
In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we are obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments through 2017 based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands. Such contingent purchase price payments are recorded as additions to goodwill and totaled $25.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. We currently expect that such payments will be $34.0 million to $36.0 million for the full year 2007.
In connection with our acquisition of Superba in January 2007, we are obligated to pay Superba contingent purchase price payments if the earnings of the acquired business exceed certain targets in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The maximum payout that Superba can receive is $15.0 million, $25.0 million and $30.0 million with respect to earnings in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Any such contingent purchase price payments would be payable 90 days after fiscal year end.
Sale of Investments
We sold, in the first quarter of 2006, minority interests held by one of our subsidiaries in certain entities that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeans and accessories in Europe and Asia and the ck Calvin Klein bridge line of sportswear and accessories in Europe. We received $32.8 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these entities in the first half of 2006 and $3.3 million in cash proceeds in the first quarter of 2007 in connection with the release of a portion of the amount held in escrow in connection with the sale.
Dividends
Our common stock, which as of November 4, 2007 is the only class of stock issued, currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share.
Cash dividends on our common stock totaled $8.5 million for the full year 2007.
In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we issued $250 million of Series B convertible preferred stock. During the second quarter of 2006, the holders of our Series B convertible preferred stock voluntarily converted all of the remaining outstanding shares of Series B convertible preferred stock into 11.6 million shares of our common stock. The holders subsequently sold a majority of such shares in a registered common stock offering. We made an inducement payment to the preferred stockholders of $0.88 for each share of common stock received upon conversion, or an aggregate of $10.2 million in connection with the conversion, and incurred certain costs, totaling $0.7 million, specifically related to the registered common stock offering. The inducement payment was based on the net present value of the dividends that we would have been obligated to pay the preferred stockholders through the earliest date on which it was estimated that we would have had the right to convert the Series B convertible preferred stock, net of the net present value of the dividends payable over the same period on the shares of common stock into which the Series B convertible preferred stock was convertible. The aggregate $10.9 million inducement payment and offering costs was treated similar to a preferred stock dividend under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $200 million of our outstanding common stock. At the closing stock price on November 30, 2007, the total outstanding authorization of $200 million represented approximately 8% of our market capitalization. Our authorization is effective through the end of 2008. We plan to use existing cash on hand to fund all purchases, and all of the shares repurchased under the authorization will be placed into treasury. The Boards authorization permits us to effect the purchases through open market
20
purchases, privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated and guaranteed share repurchase agreements, and other means. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board at any time.
Cash Flow Summary
Our net cash outflow in the first nine months of 2007 was $29.5 million. Cash flow for the full year 2007 will be impacted by various other factors in addition to those discussed above in this Liquidity and Capital Resources section. For example, the exercise of stock options provided $17.6 million of cash for the full year in 2006. We currently estimate that the cash generated from the exercise of stock options for the full year 2007 will be slightly less than the amount in 2006.
Based on our current operations, and considering all of the above factors, we currently expect to generate $90.0 million to $95.0 million of cash flow for the full year 2007. This cash flow estimate excludes any effect of the previously mentioned share repurchase program.
Financing Arrangements
Our capital structure as of November 4, 2007 was as follows:
(in millions)
Long-term debt | $ 399.5 |
Stockholders equity | $1,110.5 |
We believe our capital structure provides a secure base to support our current operations and our planned growth in the future. There are no maturities of our long-term debt until 2011.
For near-term liquidity, in addition to our cash balance, we have a $325.0 million secured revolving credit facility that provides for revolving credit borrowings, as well as the issuance of letters of credit. We may, at our option, borrow and repay amounts up to a maximum of $325.0 million for revolving credit borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit, which may be increased by us by up to $100.0 million, with a sublimit of $50.0 million for standby letters of credit and with no sublimit on trade letters of credit. Based on our working capital projections, we believe that our borrowing capacity under this facility provides us with adequate liquidity for our peak seasonal needs for the foreseeable future. During the first nine months of 2007, we had no revolving credit borrowings under the facility, and the maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding was $142.4 million. As of November 4, 2007, we had $102.9 million outstanding letters of credit under this facility. We currently do not expect to have any revolving credit borrowings under the facility during the remainder of 2007.
Given our capital structure and our projections for future profitability and cash flow, we believe we could obtain additional financing, if necessary, for refinancing our long-term debt, or, if opportunities present themselves, future acquisitions. Although we believe we could obtain such financing, due to the current state of credit markets, there can be no assurance that such financing could be obtained on terms as favorable to us as our current financings or otherwise on terms satisfactory to us. Furthermore, as credit markets are constantly changing, there can be no assurance that such financing, if needed, could be obtained at such time as a need arises or that it would be available to us on terms satisfactory to us.
SEASONALITY
Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales and income in the first and third quarters, as the selling of Spring and Fall merchandise to our customers occurs at higher levels as these selling seasons begin. Our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales and income in the third and fourth quarters, due to the back to school and holiday selling seasons. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday season.
Due to the above factors, our operating results for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 4, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
21
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Financial instruments held by us include cash equivalents and long-term debt. Interest rates on our long-term debt are fixed. Therefore, a change in rates generally would not have an effect on our gross interest expense. Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2007 outlines the principal amounts, interest rates, fair values and other terms required to evaluate the expected sensitivity of interest rate changes on the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt. Cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates. Therefore, a change in short-term interest rates would have an impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents as of November 4, 2007, the effect of a 50 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $1.7 million annually.
Principally all of our revenue and expenses are currently denominated in United States dollars. However, certain of our operations and license agreements expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the rate of exchange of the United States dollar against the Euro, the Yen and the Canadian dollar. Our principal exposure to changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar results from our licensing businesses. Many of our license agreements require the licensee to report sales to us in the licensees local currency, but to pay us in United States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period. Thus, while we are not exposed to exchange rate gains and losses between the end of the selling period and the date we collect payment, we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. During times of a strengthening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be negatively impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar, our foreign royalty revenue will be favorably impacted.
A secondary exposure to changes in exchange rates for the United States dollar results from our foreign wholesale operations. During 2006, we expanded our wholesale operations to include sales to department and specialty stores throughout Canada and parts of Europe. Sales for these foreign operations are both generated and collected in foreign currency, which exposes us to foreign exchange gains and losses between the date of the sale and the date we collect payment. As with our licensing business, the results of these operations will be negatively impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar.
Not all foreign license agreements expose us to foreign exchange risk. Many of our foreign license agreements specify that contractual minimums be paid in United States dollars. Thus, for these foreign license agreements where the licensees sales do not exceed contractual minimums, the licensee assumes the risk of changes in exchange rates and we do not.
Also somewhat mitigating our exposure to changes in the exchange rate for the Euro is our Calvin Klein administrative office in Milan, Italy. During times of a strengthening United States dollar against the Euro, our Milan expenses will be favorably impacted, and during times of a weakening United States dollar against the Euro, our Milan expenses will be negatively impacted.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of November 4, 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 4, 2007. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
