Thank you, Sheryl. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today. I want to start by thanking our teams around the world for delivering a strong fourth quarter and finish to the year on our multiyear journey to build Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into their full potential and make PVH one of the highest performing brand groups in our sector. While there is, of course, more work to do, we have made important progress on this journey, and I will discuss this more in a moment. In the fourth quarter, we exceeded our guidance across revenue, operating profit and EPS. Total revenue for the company was up mid-single digits on a reported basis above our guidance and flat in constant currency. Importantly, we drove better-than-expected gross margin performance in the quarter with sequential improvement across all regions. We continue to manage our operating expenses thoughtfully while strategically increasing marketing spend behind our 2 iconic brands, and we drove a 10% non-GAAP operating margin, which would have been 11.7% without the gross tariff impact. For the full year, we delivered on our financial guidance across both the top and bottom line. And as planned, we returned to revenue growth for the year. Despite the choppy consumer and macroeconomic environment, we delivered a non-GAAP operating margin of 8.8% for the full year, above our guidance, including the impact of tariffs. When excluding the impact of gross tariffs, operating margin was 9.6%. We continue to simplify our operating model and drive more efficient ways of working, generating over 200 basis points of annualized cost savings. We further strengthened our supply chain, ending the year with a good inventory position, up 5% versus last year or up 1% when adjusted for tariffs, positioning us well for spring 2026. Finally, we…

Thanks, Stefan. Good morning. My comments are based on non-GAAP results and are reconciled in our press release. As Stefan discussed, our fourth quarter and full year results delivered or exceeded expectations across key financial metrics. In the fourth quarter, we generated 6% reported revenue growth, flat in constant currency, drove sequential improvement in our year-over-year gross margin percent and continued our focus on strong SG&A discipline. We drove significant sequential improvement in our operating margin, reaching 10% for the quarter despite a negative 170 basis point gross tariff impact and ahead of plan. EPS was 17% higher than the prior year. For the full year, we delivered 3% reported revenue growth, up slightly in constant currency both in line with our guidance, with 8.8% operating margin for the year despite a negative 80 basis point gross tariff impact and EPS of $11.40. Throughout the year, we drove quarterly sequential improvements in our gross margin comparisons as we set out to do and exited the year with over 200 basis points of annualized cost savings from our growth driver cost savings actions. We ended the year with healthy inventory levels, up 5% compared to last year and 1% excluding the impact of tariffs, well positioned heading into 2026. We delivered strong free cash flow for the year of over $500 million and returned over $560 million to shareholders through the repurchase of nearly 8 million shares of common stock through our accelerated repurchase program and open market purchases. Looking ahead to 2026, we are planning full year reported revenue up slightly compared to 2025 and flat to up slightly in constant currency. We project operating margin to be approximately 8.8%, in line with 2025, even with a negative 215 basis point gross tariff impact as we drive underlying gross margin…

[Operator Instructions] We'll take our first question from Bob Drbul with BTIG.

Stefan, I was just wondering, can you talk about how you leverage the information about your consumer and the brand health across the PVH plan throughout the business?

Yes. Bob, and thanks for the question. It's a really important one. So as we shared in our prepared remarks, we do extensive consumer research and really exciting to see that the work that we have done over the past few years result in standing stronger with the Gen Z and Gen Millennial than our peer group. And within the Gen Z and Gen Millennial, it's really the combination between the strength with the Gen Z and Gen Millennial. And within those groups, the segments that the status interested segments, the style-driven consumer segments because we know that they shop more often. They spend more and they're more loyal. So the way we deploy that knowledge is through social, through e-commerce, expanding -- we target these consumers, and we build out our category strength from the 2, 3 categories where we see real strength already today in both Calvin and Tommy to the top 5 category. Top 5 categories is over 60% of the business. So it's really targeting the consumers where we are the strongest that spends the most and the most interested in style and status and then driving 360 consumer engagement with that consumer. And then that's how we are starting to turn the consumer flywheel. And that's part of why we delivered a stronger-than-expected Q4 and why we are off to a strong start despite the uncertain macro. That's why we're off to a strong start in the beginning of '26 as well.

We will move next with Michael Binetti with Evercore.

I guess this might be for Melissa, but maybe on the EBIT margins. So we entered the year with margins down 160 to 200 basis points in the first quarter, but then we get to flat in the year. and I think you said EBIT margin improves each quarter. Could you just clarify, is that the level or the year-over-year? Maybe just give us a little bit of help on how to think about the cadence of EBIT margin through the year after first quarter? And then, I guess, backing up, Stefan, on Americas, the revenues planned down slightly in the first quarter, D2C growth, but I think you said wholesale negative. And I would think you would have about a mid-single-digit lift from the licenses. So maybe just a bigger picture thought on why you think -- and we can see all the marketing and we can see everything with Calvin going viral. I'm just -- I'm curious why you think wholesalers have such a gap to what you're seeing in some of the successes and growth in D2C at this point and in fact, can reconcile itself as we move through the year?

Yes. Thanks, Michael. Let me start, and then Melissa will be able to take you through. There is a timing shift in wholesale to your point, Michael, in Q1, and there are a number of other shifts as well like the tariff impact that starts off higher and then goes down. So -- but let me start from a business perspective and just say, so we are quite far into Q1 by now. And we have a positive momentum in the spring season sell-through for both Calvin and Tommy across all regions. So we see the stronger D2C trend across both brands, all regions. And in Q1, 1 factor that also impacts Q1 is that we are strategically increasing our marketing spend. And some of that spend is somewhat front-loaded in the year. So full year basis, marketing spend is up double digit. But the first quarter, as Melissa mentioned, there are shifts from the market conditions last year to this year that gives us the confidence to invest more early. And we see that in Calvin through the strength in the spring campaign. We see it with a fashion show with the amplification of the Love Story interest. In Tommy, we see it through Cadillac Formula One. We see it with a Liverpool partnership. We see it with the spring campaign. So we're really leaning in to turn that consumer flywheel, but Melissa will be able to take you through more of the quarter-to-quarter timing.

Yes, sure. Thank you, Stefan. So as we think about the trajectory for the year, there's several moving parts. Just on the top line, we have started the year, as we talked about with positive momentum with spring season product selling up versus last year in both brands in all 3 regions. And while the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, we do expect growth for the full year. But in the first half, we're lapping the stronger comparisons in Europe and the Americas from last year. While in the second half, we expect to drive improvement as we continue to focus on what is within our control and see our investments drive strength to consumer. And I would just add that in Q1, when you look at our overall revenue on a 2-year stacked basis, which takes out some of the wholesale timing that's impacting our comparisons. Our total revenue growth in constant currency is sequentially improving from Q3 to Q4 and then from Q4 to Q1. And then when we look at the profit cadence, there are also 2 main parts that I'd highlight. I mean, first, as Stefan mentioned, there's the tariffs. And in the first half, we are burdened by tariffs, which only had a very small impact in the Q2 last year. And at the same time, we expect that our tariff mitigation actions will become increasingly impactful as the year progresses, and we expect to exit the year with over 75% of the tariff mitigated on an annualized basis. And then the second piece, as Stefan mentioned, is marketing where we've strategically weighted our investment to the first half, particularly Q1 ahead of the key consumer moments to align with our commercial plan and activate the full funnel and drive that heat early in the year. And you'll remember that in the second half of 2025, we had already stepped up our marketing investment versus our original plan and so that we lap that in the second half of '26. And then lastly, from an FX perspective, there's just 2 things I'd highlight. With translation, we see a favorable impact year-over-year, more heavily weighted to the first half, and you can see that effect in our Q1 revenue guidance. And then on our inventory cost, it's actually opposite where we see the favorable impact building as the year progresses, and that comes through and strength in our gross margins. And importantly, I would just add that on inventory costs overall, we're starting to see the benefit in our product costs as we leverage the scale and the power of PDH and our 2 global product kitchens. And we saw that benefit start to come through in Q4, and we'll continue to see that benefit in 2026. So a lot of parts. But overall, we expect progressive year-over-year improvement in our operating margins.

We will move next with Jay Sole with UBS.

Great. I want to ask you about Love Story. I mean it really was a phenomenon. I just want to ask about the learnings from it just because it was it bigger than you expected? And how did it play out? And like I said, what are the learnings that you'll take going forward?

Thanks, Jay. It's almost impossible to have a conversation about Calvin right now without Love Story. So is also a really, really great question. So could we anticipate it? I don't believe anyone could have anticipated the magnitude of the hit it has become globally and across generations. So if you look -- we just got the data yesterday that over 40 million people have watched Love Stories, Hulu's most streamed show ever. So what's the learning for us and what's the effect? When the show launched, we could see the search -- search for -- the search increase for Calvin Klein, e-commerce traffic, D2C is positive. The consumer is looking for iconic Calvin, starting with iconic underwear and iconic denim, the most sold denim style right now is the '90s fit. So some of the key learnings here is you can't plan for these things. But what I'm really excited about and is what the team has done over the past 3, 4 years is we have gone back to the DNA of what made Calvin collide with culture back in the '90s when that happened and really taken 100% of that iconic DNA and then working hard to make it 100% current. So when something like Love Story hits, it's just a really nice sync up with where we are with the brand. So it also shows the power of the brand. So we are talking about since we started the PVH+ journey that there is something special in Calvin and Tommy because there are one of a handful of brands that have provided with culture and become globally iconic. This is a good example of this because the interest we see spans generations. And then one of the biggest audience parts of love story is also where we have built the most strength which is within the young millennial and the Gen Z consumer. So Calvin really helped shape American Fashion and the '90s look? And yes, just -- we see it in the demand. We see it in the interest for the brands, but this is something that has been built over the last 3, 4 years. And we just appreciate it. And for those of you who haven't watched Love story, please do, it's a great show.

We will move next with Brooke Roach with Goldman Sachs.

Stefan, I was wondering if I could get your latest thoughts on the path to deliver sequentially and sustainably stronger sales momentum in your Europe business. Beyond the easier compares, what are the most important drivers of that sequential improvement that's planned throughout the year? And what is a more appropriate medium-term algorithm for European growth on a go-forward basis?

Yes. Thanks, Brook. As we mentioned, there are 2 big factors here. One is that the spring product season in both Calvin and Tommy in Europe, is up versus last year. We we're still relatively -- sorry, relatively early in the spring. So we are 1 week away from Easter. Last year, it was 3 weeks later. But we have a very good read on early spring product up versus last year. And that is both in D2C and wholesale. And then the forward-looking wholesale order book for fall is up low single digits. So you will see that -- you will see the combination of keep building the D2C momentum powered by our increase because also in Europe, we are stepping up the marketing investments and we see the effect of that. And we will see the effect of that gradually improve over the year. So you will see our market presence for Calvin and Tommy step-by-step through the year improve. And then we build on the positive start to spring. And then we have the belief from our partners in the forward-looking order books.

We will move next with Dana Telsey with Telsey Group.

As you think about the uptick in the marketing spend as we go through the year, the first quarter having the most pronounced impact, how do you think of Tommy and Calvin, what we should be watching for, for newness moving through? -- and the addition of Travis [indiscernible] to the platform, are there other new celebrities or sports side concept we should be watching for also? And Stefan, how do you think this is sales drivers for the brand.

Yes. Thanks, Dana. What's -- so let me start with Tommy this time. So I'm really excited this earlier this week, as you alluded to, we revealed that American football icon, 3x Super Bowl winner Travis [indiscernible] becoming our Tommy brand ambassador and creative collaborator. And we know when we have done these collaborations in the past, how much power there is because there is a lot of love for Travis Kelsey out there, a lot of love for Tommy and then combining those really creates energy and interest. And the way the way we build that collaboration is, again, going back to the DNA of Thomas classic American Cool. And then as I mentioned, for Tommy, we are building out the and putting innovation into our strongest franchises into our 5 most important categories. So when looking at categories for Tommy is, outerwear, sweaters, shirts, knits as an example. So it's putting innovation and newness. It's almost like internally is very clear, and I push it all the time with the team says it has to be 100% iconic and 100% current. So that's what we're going to do through the collaboration with Travis. We are also doing it in Tommy. So what you will see more of is building out the Cadillac Formula One partnership and the Liverpool Football Club partnership. So Liverpool became, as I mentioned, the #1 engaged social post ever in the history of the brand. It was really exciting about how the brand makes these collaborations shoppable is Cadillac Formula One, we were able to launch the fan wear, the Tommy Cadillac Formula One fan wear at around the Super Bowl. And for a few days there, 50% of the sales in our U.S. e-commerce was Cadillac Formula One Tommy. So there is an…

We will take our last question from Tom Nikic with Needham.

Just wanted to ask about the expectations for direct-to-consumer growth this year. And I'm wondering how much of that is driven by pricing in order to mitigate in order to tariffs and how much is driven by expectations for improvement in traffic or unit volume.

Yes. Thanks, Tom. So let me start and then hand over to Melissa. But overall, we are pleased to see in North America, how we are able to take pricing by offering the consumer great value. So you see that in D2C, you see that across channels, really, but your question was about D2C. So you see the pricing power and the tariff mitigation that coming out of this year, we will have mitigated 75% of the tariffs. And then across the board, we make sure that we drive pricing power in multiple ways. But it starts by being really focused on these categories that we accelerate and then putting innovation in the franchises and then cutting the long tail of product. There is a lot of pricing power and margin gain over time that we will tap into more and more and then when we drive the consumer engagement on top of that product strategy and then make it come to life all the way through, that's when we see we're able to drive pricing power. So it's very much connected to where we strengthen the consumer offering. So in Calvin Klein underwear denim, we're able to drive pricing power because we offer something that's more valuable to the consumer.

Yes. And I would just add to that, Tom, that from a DTC perspective, we're planning our overall B2C business up low single digits in 2026 and that includes growth in both brands and across all regions for the full year, not just in our North America business where we're faced with tariffs.

All right. Thank you very much, Tom, and thanks, everyone, for joining our call today. Looking forward to reconnecting after Q1, and we are heads down ready for the big Easter period here. So we're going to get back to business and looking forward to speaking with you in a quarter. Thank you.

Thank you. This brings us to the end of today's meeting. We appreciate your time and participation. You may now disconnect.
