PVH Corp’s guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter
For the fiscal fourth quarter, PVH Corp now forecasts a close to 20% annualised decline in its revenue. The U.S. company also said that its Q4 revenue to date was currently 20% lower than last year.
CEO Emanuel Chirico commented on the financial report on Wednesday and said:
“We have outperformed our Holiday season expectations in the fourth quarter to date, including Singles’ Day in Asia and our Black Friday promotions in North America and Europe, with particular strength across the digital channels.”
According to PVH, the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic that has so far infected more than 14 million people in the United States and caused over a quarter million deaths will keep its financial performance under pressure in the upcoming months.
