| NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE           | NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHAREIn 2012, the Company utilized the two-class method of calculating basic net (loss) income per common share, as holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock participated in dividends with holders of the Company’s common stock prior to the conversion in 2012 of such convertible preferred stock into common stock. Net losses were not allocated to holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The Company computed its basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended 8/4/13 7/29/12 8/4/13 7/29/12        Net (loss) income attributable to PVH Corp.$(15,996) $89,918 $(36,048) $185,394Less:       Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock— — — (209)Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock— (2,591) — (6,936)Net (loss) income available to common stockholders for basic net (loss) income per common share(15,996) 87,327 (36,048) 178,249Add back:       Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock— — — 209Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock— 2,591 — 6,936Net (loss) income available to common stockholders for diluted net (loss) income per common share$(15,996) $89,918 $(36,048) $185,394        Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net (loss) income per common share81,337 70,403 80,653 69,471Weighted average impact of dilutive securities— 1,105 — 1,346Weighted average impact of assumed convertible preferred stock conversion— 2,095 — 2,785Total shares for diluted net (loss) income per common share81,337 73,603 80,653 73,602        Basic net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.$(0.20) $1.24 $(0.45) $2.57        Diluted net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.$(0.20) $1.22 $(0.45) $2.52Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share were as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended 8/4/13 7/29/12 8/4/13 7/29/12        Weighted average potentially dilutive securities3,913 466 3,799 360Contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of August 4, 2013 and July 29, 2012 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013 and July 29, 2012. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 189 and 678 as of August 4, 2013 and July 29, 2012, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities. |
