| NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE       | NET INCOME PER COMMON SHAREIn 2012 and 2011, the Company utilized the two-class method of calculating basic net 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 income per common share as follows: 2013 2012 2011Net income attributable to PVH Corp.$143,537 $433,840 $275,697Less:     Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock— (366) (628)Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock— (12,179) (15,557)Net income available to common stockholders for basic net income per common share143,537 421,295 259,512Add back:     Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock— 366 628Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock— 12,179 15,557Net income available to common stockholders for diluted net income per common share$143,537 $433,840 $275,697      Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net income per common share81,167 70,392 67,158Weighted average impact of dilutive securities1,451 1,397 1,576Weighted average impact of assumed convertible preferred stock conversion— 2,087 4,189Total shares for diluted net income per common share82,618 73,876 72,923      Basic net income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.$1.77 $5.98 $3.86      Diluted net income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.$1.74 $5.87 $3.78Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share were as follows: 2013 2012 2011Weighted average potentially dilutive securities270 305 345Contingently 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 income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of February 2, 2014, February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for each applicable year. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 654, 100 and 590 as of February 2, 2014, February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities in the table above. |
