We aggregate our reportable segments into three main businesses: (i)Tommy Hilfiger , which consists of the businesses we operate under ourTOMMY HILFIGER trademarks; (ii)Calvin Klein , which consists of the businesses we operate under ourCalvin Klein trademarks; and (iii) Heritage Brands, which consists of the businesses we operate under our Warner's, Olga and True&Co. trademarks, the Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW andGeoffrey Beene trademarks, which we owned untilAugust 2, 2021 and now license back for certain product categories, and other licensed trademarks. References to brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included in the immediately preceding item of this report. We are one of the largest global apparel companies in the world with a history going back over 140 years and have been listed on theNew York Stock Exchange for over 100 years. We manage a portfolio of iconic brands, includingTOMMY HILFIGER ,Calvin Klein , Warner's, Olga and True&Co., which are owned,Van Heusen , IZOD, ARROW andGeoffrey Beene , which we owned through the second quarter of 2021 and now license back for certain product categories, and other licensed brands. Our brands are positioned to sell globally at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer differentiated products to a broad range of consumers, reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, product category, price point, distribution channel or region. We also license the use of our trademarks to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our licensees' expertise can better serve our brands. Our revenue was$9.2 billion in 2021, of which over 60% was generated outside ofthe United States . Our iconic brands,TOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein , together generated over 90% of our revenue.
PVH+ Plan
At ourApril 2022 Investor Day, we introduced the PVH+ Plan, our multi-year, strategic plan to drive brand-, digital- and direct-to-consumer-led growth to accelerate financial performance. The PVH+ Plan builds on our core strengths and connectsCalvin Klein andTOMMY HILFIGER closer to the consumer than ever before through five key drivers: (1) win with product, (2) win with consumer engagement, (3) win the digitally-led marketplace, (4) develop a demand- and data-driven operating model, and (5) drive efficiencies and invest in growth. These five foundational drivers apply to each of our businesses and are activated in the regions to meet the unique expectations of our consumers around the world and deliver long-term sustainable growth.
PVH+ Plan Cost Efficiency Action
In line with the fifth growth driver of the PVH+ Plan - drive efficiencies and invest in growth - we are taking steps to streamline our organization and simplify our ways of working. We plan to reduce people costs in our global offices by approximately 10% by the end of 2023 to drive efficiencies and enable continued strategic investments to fuel growth, including in digital, supply chain and consumer engagement. We expect these reductions will generate annual cost savings of over$100 million , net of continued strategic people investments. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS War inUkraine As a result of the war inUkraine , we announced inMarch 2022 that we were temporarily closing stores and pausing commercial activities inRussia andBelarus . In the second quarter of 2022, we made the decision to exit from ourRussia business, including the closure of our retail stores inRussia and the cessation of our wholesale operations inRussia andBelarus . Additionally, while we have no direct operations inUkraine , virtually all of our wholesale customers and franchisees inUkraine have closed their stores, which has resulted in a reduction in shipments to these customers and canceled orders. 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We recorded pre-tax costs of$50 million in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with our decision to exit from theRussia business, consisting of (i)$44 million of noncash asset impairments, (ii)$5 million of contract termination and other costs and (iii)$2 million of severance. Please see Note 16, "Exit Activity Costs," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. In addition, our revenue in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 reflected a reduction of approximately$35 million and$55 million respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, as a result of the war inUkraine . Our net income in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 also reflected a reduction of approximately$12 million and$19 million , respectively, apart from the$50 million of pre-tax costs discussed above, as well as the related tax impact, as compared to the prior year periods. We currently expect the impact of the war inUkraine will have a negative impact on our full year 2022 revenue of approximately$140 million , or 2%, and on our full year 2022 net income of approximately$45 million , apart from the$50 million of pre-tax costs discussed above. Approximately 2% of our revenue in 2021 was generated inRussia ,Belarus andUkraine . The war also has led to, and may lead to further, broader macroeconomic implications, including the continued weakening of the euro againstthe United States dollar, increases in fuel prices and volatility in the financial markets, as well as a decline in consumer spending. There is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the war and its broader macroeconomic implications, including the potential impacts on the broader European market, will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations for the full year 2022 and beyond. Inflationary Pressures Inflationary pressures have negatively impacted our revenue and earnings in the first half of 2022 and are expected to continue to negatively impact our revenue and earnings for the remainder of the year, including (i) increased costs of labor, raw materials and freight and (ii) beginning in the latter half of the second quarter, a slowdown in consumer demand for our products that we expect to continue into the second half of 2022. We implemented price increases in certain regions and for certain product categories in the first half of 2022 to mitigate the higher costs. We currently plan to implement further price increases in the second half of 2022. However, the extent to which we will be able to implement further price increases in the future may be limited, particularly as inflationary pressures have slowed consumer demand for our products in the latter half of the second quarter. We expect this trend to continue into the second half of 2022, as consumers reduce discretionary spend and certain of our wholesale customers take a more cautious approach, particularly inNorth America and to a lesser extent inEurope . We also expect a more promotional environment, particularly in ourNorth America wholesale business, due to elevated inventory levels industry-wide compared to consumer demand in the region. Inflation did not have a significant impact on our results of operations in 2021.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations. Our stores have been and continue to be impacted by temporary closures and reduced hours as a result of the pandemic. During the first quarter of 2021, pandemic-related pressures on our stores included temporary closures for a significant percentage of our stores inEurope ,Canada andJapan . Pressures on our stores continued throughout 2021, with certain stores inEurope ,Japan andAustralia temporarily closed for varying periods of time in the second quarter, the majority of our stores inAustralia closed temporarily in the third quarter, and the temporary closure of certain stores inEurope andChina for varying periods of time in the fourth quarter. Further, a significant percentage of our stores globally were operating on reduced hours during the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of increased levels of associate absenteeism due to the pandemic. COVID-related pressures have continued into the first half of 2022, although to a much lesser extent than in the prior year period in all regions exceptChina , as strict lockdowns inChina resulted in temporary store closures and reductions in consumer traffic and purchasing, as well as impacted certain warehouses, which resulted in the temporary pause of deliveries to our wholesale customers and from our digital commerce businesses. In addition, ourNorth America stores have been, and are expected to continue to be, challenged by the lack of international tourists coming tothe United States , although to a lesser extent than in 2021. Stores located in international tourist destinations have historically represented a significant portion of this business. 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our brick and mortar wholesale customers and our licensing partners also have experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the pandemic. Our wholesale customers and franchisees globally generally have experienced temporary store closures and operating restrictions and obstacles in the same countries and at the same times as us. Our digital channels, which have historically represented a less significant portion of our overall business, experienced exceptionally strong growth during 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, both with respect to sales to our traditional and pure play wholesale customers, as well as within our own directly operated digital commerce businesses across all brand businesses and regions. Digital growth was less pronounced during the remainder of 2021 as stores reopened and capacity restrictions lessened. We currently expect sales through our digital channels to be relatively flat in 2022 compared to 2021, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 10% related to foreign currency translation, with digital penetration as a percentage of total revenue expected to remain consistent with 2021 at approximately 25%. In addition, the pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, our supply chain partners, including third party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors, as well as the supply chains of our licensees. The ongoing vessel, container and other transportation shortages, labor shortages and port congestion globally, as well as production delays in some of our key sourcing countries has delayed and could continue to delay product orders and, in turn, deliveries to our wholesale customers and availability in our stores and for our directly operated digital commerce businesses. These supply chain and logistics disruptions have impacted, and continue to impact, our inventory levels, including in-transit goods, which currently remain elevated as compared to 2021, and our sales volumes. We have incurred beginning in the second half of 2021 and throughout the first half of 2022, higher air freight and other logistics costs in connection with these disruptions. To mitigate the ongoing supply chain and logistics disruptions, we have increased our core product inventory levels. We continue to monitor these delays and other potential disruptions in our supply chain and will continue to implement mitigation plans as needed.
Outlook Uncertainty due to War in
There continues to be significant uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to the supply chain and logistics disruptions and inflationary pressures globally, the war inUkraine , the COVID-19 pandemic and foreign currency volatility. Our 2022 outlook assumes no material worsening of current conditions. Our revenue and earnings in 2022 may be subject to significant material change.
Operations Overview
We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to traditional retailers (both for stores and digital operations), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of branded sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, dress shirts, neckwear, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,500 Company-operated free-standing store locations worldwide under ourTOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein trademarks, (b) approximately 1,400 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under ourTOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites worldwide, principally under ourTOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein trademarks. We announced in 2020 a plan to exit our Heritage Brands Retail business, which was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, we generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. We manage our operations through our operating divisions, which are presented as the following reportable segments: (i)Tommy Hilfiger North America ; (ii)Tommy Hilfiger International ; (iii)Calvin Klein North America ; (iv)Calvin Klein International ; (v) Heritage Brands Wholesale; and, (vi) through the second quarter of 2021, Heritage Brands Retail. Our Heritage Brands Retail segment has ceased operations. The following actions and transactions, in addition to the exit from ourRussia business discussed above, have impacted our results of operations and the comparability among the periods, including our full year 2022 expectations as compared to the full year 2021, as discussed below: •We entered into a definitive agreement onApril 29, 2022 to sell our approximately 8% economic interest inKarl Lagerfeld Holding B.V . ("Karl Lagerfeld") to a subsidiary of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. ("G-III") (the "Karl Lagerfeld transaction"). We completed the sale onMay 31, 2022 for approximately$20 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments, with$1 million of the proceeds held in escrow. We recorded a pre-tax gain of$16 million in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the transaction. Please see Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the transaction. 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •We completed the sale of certain of our heritage brands trademarks, includingVan Heusen , IZOD, ARROW andGeoffrey Beene , as well as certain related inventories of our Heritage Brands business with a net carrying value of$98 million , toAuthentic Brands Group and other parties (the "Heritage Brands transaction"), on the first day of the third quarter of 2021 for net proceeds of$216 million . We recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of$113 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with the transaction, consisting of (i) a gain of$119 million , which represented the excess of the amount of consideration received over the carrying value of the net assets, less costs to sell, and a net gain on our retirement plans associated with the transaction, partially offset by (ii)$6 million of pre-tax severance costs. •We announced inMarch 2021 plans to reduce our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint, including reductions in office space and select store closures, which have resulted in annual cost savings of approximately$60 million . We recorded pre-tax costs of$48 million during 2021 consisting of (i)$28 million of noncash asset impairments, (ii)$16 million of severance and (iii)$4 million of contract termination and other costs, of which$45 million was incurred during the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 . All costs related to these actions were incurred by the end of the third quarter of 2021. •We announced inJuly 2020 a plan to exit our Heritage Brands Retail business, which was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2021. We recorded pre-tax costs of$21 million during 2021 in connection with the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business, consisting of$11 million of severance and other termination benefits,$6 million of accelerated amortization of lease assets and (iii)$4 million of contract termination and other costs. All costs related to the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business were substantially incurred by the end of the second quarter 2021. OurTommy Hilfiger andCalvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Our results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated intoUnited States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our results of operations are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengtheningUnited States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakeningUnited States dollar against those currencies. Over 60% of our 2021 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation.The United States dollar weakened against the euro, which is the foreign currency in which we transact the most business, in the first half of 2021, but then strengthened in the second half of 2021.The United States dollar continued to strengthen against the euro, as well as against most major currencies, in the first half of 2022 and into the third quarter of 2022. We currently expect our 2022 revenue and net income to decrease by approximately$670 million and$80 million , respectively, due to the impact of foreign currency translation. There also is a transactional impact of foreign exchange on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased inUnited States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. Our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengtheningUnited States dollar, as the increased local currency value of inventory results in a higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold, and favorably impacted during times of a weakeningUnited States dollar, as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in a lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transactional impact. The contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases inUnited States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. These contracts are generally entered into 12 months in advance of the related inventory purchases. Therefore, the impact of fluctuations ofthe United States dollar on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts may be realized in our results of operations in the year following their inception, as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. We currently expect our 2022 net income to decrease by approximately$20 million due to the transactional impact of foreign currency. Given the current exchange rates, particularly the euro, we also expect our 2023 net income to decrease due to the transactional impact of foreign currency, but by a greater amount than in 2022. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that are held inthe United States . The strengthening ofthe United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas the weakening ofthe United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the carrying amount of these senior notes issued byPVH Corp. , aU.S. based entity, as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings at the end of each period is recorded in equity. We conduct business in countries that are or have been subject to significant inflation rates. The impact of currency devaluation in countries experiencing high inflation rates, as is the case inTurkey , can unfavorably impact our results of operations. As of 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the first day of the second quarter of 2022, we are accounting for our operations inTurkey as highly inflationary, as the prior three-year cumulative inflation rate has surpassed 100%. As a result, we changed the functional currency of our subsidiary inTurkey from the Turkish lira to the euro, which is the functional currency of its parent. The remeasurement of our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Turkish lira into euro during the second quarter of 2022 did not have a material impact on our results of operations. As ofJuly 31, 2022 , net monetary assets denominated in Turkish lira represented less than 1% of our total net assets. SEASONALITY Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter tends to have the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. The COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain and logistics disruptions have disrupted these patterns, however. We otherwise expect this seasonal pattern will generally continue. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends. Due to the above seasonal factors, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, including the pandemic-related supply chain and logistics disruptions, our results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
Thirteen Weeks Ended
Total Revenue Total revenue in the second quarter of 2022 was$2.132 billion as compared to$2.313 billion in the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in revenue of$181 million , or 8%, included (i) an 8% negative impact of foreign currency translation, (ii) a 4% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business and (iii) a 2% reduction resulting from the impact of the war inUkraine , including closures of our stores inRussia , the cessation of wholesale shipments toRussia andBelarus , and a reduction in wholesale shipments toUkraine , and included the following: •The net reduction of an aggregate$57 million of revenue, or a 5% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to ourTommy Hilfiger International andTommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of$108 million , or 9%, related to foreign currency translation.Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue decreased 9% (including a 13% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in ourTommy Hilfiger North America segment increased 6%. •The reduction of an aggregate$12 million of revenue, or a 1% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to ourCalvin Klein International andCalvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of$68 million , or 7%, related to foreign currency translation.Calvin Klein International segment revenue decreased 2% (including a 12% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in ourCalvin Klein North America segment decreased 1%. •The reduction of an aggregate$112 million of revenue, or a 44% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Wholesale and Heritage Brands Retail segments, which includes a 37% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business. Our revenue through our direct-to-consumer distribution channel in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 5%, including an 8% negative foreign currency impact and a 3% reduction resulting from the exit of the Heritage Brands Retail business. Sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses decreased 5%, including a 9% negative foreign currency impact. Our sales through digital channels, including the digital businesses of our traditional and pure play wholesale customers and our directly operated digital commerce businesses, was approximately 25% of total revenue. Our revenue through our wholesale distribution channel decreased 11% in the second quarter of 2022, inclusive of an 8% negative foreign currency impact and a 5% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction. Our wholesale revenue inNorth America was negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2022 by an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment. 43 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, such as inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection costs. Also included as cost of goods sold are the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward exchange contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2022 was$1.220 billion , or 57.2% of total revenue, as compared to$1.334 billion , or 57.7% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The 50 basis point decrease was primarily driven by (i) higher product, freight and other logistics costs, including air freight, as compared to the second quarter of the prior year, as a result of the inflationary pressures and the continued supply chain and logistics disruptions, (ii) an increase in inventory reserves recorded in the second quarter of 2022 due to elevated levels of inventory in theNorth America wholesale business due to lower than expected demand, and (iii) a negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately 40 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by (i) price increases that were implemented in certain regions and for certain product categories during the first half of 2022 and (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as a result of the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business, as the revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses carried lower gross margins. SG&A Expenses SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2022 were$1.070 billion , or 50.2% of total revenue, as compared to$1.062 billion , or 45.9% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The 430 basis point increase was principally attributable to (i) costs incurred in connection with the exit from ourRussia business primarily consisting of noncash asset impairments, (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as a result of the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business, as the revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses carried lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue, and (iii) lower expenses in the second quarter of 2021 as stores in certain regions were closed and other stores were only beginning to re-open. These increases were partially offset by the absence in the second quarter of 2022 of costs incurred in the second quarter of 2021 associated with the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income
Non-service related pension and postretirement income was$3 million in each of the second quarters of 2022 and 2021. Please see Note 8, "Retirement and Benefit Plans," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was$25 million in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to$4 million in the second quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from (i) our joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER ,Calvin Klein , Warner's, Olga, and certain licensed trademarks inMexico , (ii) our joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein brands inIndia , (iii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand inBrazil , (iv) ourPVH Legwear LLC joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER ,Calvin Klein , IZOD,Van Heusen and Warner's brands and other owned and licensed trademarks inthe United States andCanada and (v) our investment in Karl Lagerfeld after we resumed the equity method of accounting for our investment in the fourth quarter of 2021 and until the closing of the Karl Lagerfeld transaction onMay 31, 2022 . The equity in net income for the second quarter of 2022 increased as compared to 2021 primarily due to a$16 million pre-tax net gain recorded in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the Karl Lagerfeld transaction, as well as an increase in income attributable to our joint ventures inIndia andMexico . Please see Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the Karl Lagerfeld transaction. Our investments in the joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. 44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased to$20 million in the second quarter of 2022 from$26 million in the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the impact of$1.030 billion of voluntary long-term debt repayments made during 2021.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 26.4% compared to 28.1% in the second quarter of the prior year. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 reflected a$41 million income tax expense recorded on$157 million of pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 reflected a$71 million income tax expense recorded on$253 million of pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rates for the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 were higher thanthe United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as "GILTI") and the mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax results.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
We formed a joint venture inEthiopia ("PVH Ethiopia") to operate a manufacturing facility that produced finished products for us for distribution primarily inthe United States . We held an initial economic interest of 75% in PVH Ethiopia, with our partner's 25% interest accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest ("RNCI"). We consolidated the results of PVH Ethiopia in our consolidated financial statements. The capital structure of PVH Ethiopia was amended effectiveMay 31, 2021 and we solely managed and effectively owned all economic interests in the joint venture. We closed in the fourth quarter of 2021 the manufacturing facility that was PVH Ethiopia's sole operation. The closure did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
As a result of the amendments to the capital structure of PVH Ethiopia, we
stopped attributing any net income or loss in PVH Ethiopia to an RNCI beginning
Please see Note 5, "Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 was$4.255 billion as compared to$4.392 billion in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The decrease in revenue of$138 million , or 3%, included (i) a 6% negative impact of foreign currency translation, (ii) a 4% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business and (iii) a 1% reduction resulting from the impact of the war inUkraine , including closures of our stores inRussia , the cessation of wholesale shipments toRussia andBelarus , and a reduction in wholesale shipments toUkraine , and included the following: •The net reduction of an aggregate$40 million of revenue, or a 2% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to ourTommy Hilfiger International andTommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of$168 million , or 8%, related to foreign currency translation.Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue decreased 5% (including a 10% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in ourTommy Hilfiger North America segment increased 10%. •The addition of an aggregate$89 million of revenue, or a 5% increase compared to the prior year period, attributable to ourCalvin Klein International andCalvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of$100 million , or 6%, related to foreign currency translation.Calvin Klein International segment revenue increased 2% (including a 9% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in ourCalvin Klein North America segment increased 10%. •The reduction of an aggregate$187 million of revenue, or a 38% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments, which includes a 39% decline resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business. 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our revenue through our direct-to-consumer distribution channel in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 decreased 1%, including a 7% negative foreign currency impact and a 4% reduction resulting from the exit of the Heritage Brands Retail business. Sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses decreased 10%, including a 7% negative foreign currency impact. Our sales through digital channels, including the digital businesses of our traditional and pure play wholesale customers and our directly operated digital commerce businesses, was approximately 22% of total revenue. Our revenue through our wholesale distribution channel decreased 6% in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 , inclusive of a 6% negative foreign currency impact and a 4% reduction resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction. We currently expect revenue for the full year 2022 to decrease approximately 3% to 4% compared to 2021, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 7% related to foreign currency translation. Our 2022 outlook also reflects (i) a 2% reduction in revenue resulting from the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business and (ii) a 2% reduction resulting from the impact of the war inUkraine . In addition, our revenue outlook reflects our current expectation with regard to the negative impacts that the challenges in the macroeconomic environment and trends within the retail industry will have on our revenue in the second half of 2022, including as a result of lower consumer demand due to inflationary pressures, as consumers reduce discretionary spend and certain wholesale customers take a more cautious approach, particularly inNorth America and to a lesser extent inEurope . We currently expect our sales through digital channels, including the digital businesses of our traditional and pure play wholesale customers and our directly operated digital commerce businesses, as a percentage of total revenue to remain consistent with 2021 at approximately 25%. There continues to be significant uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment due to the supply chain and logistics disruptions and inflationary pressures globally, the war inUkraine , the COVID-19 pandemic and foreign currency volatility. As such, our revenue in 2022 may be subject to significant material change.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 was$2.458 billion , or 57.8% of total revenue, as compared to$2.563 billion , or 58.3% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 50 basis point decrease was primarily driven by (i) higher product, freight and other logistics costs, including air freight, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of the inflationary pressures and the continued supply chain and logistics disruptions, (ii) an increase in inventory reserves recorded in the second quarter of 2022 due to elevated levels of inventory in theNorth America wholesale business due to lower than expected demand, and (iii) a negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately 20 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by (i) price increases that were implemented in certain regions and for certain product categories during the first half of 2022 and (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as a result of the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from the Heritage Brands Retail business, as the revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses carried lower gross margins. We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2022 will decrease as compared to 2021, with the decrease in gross margin in the second half of 2022 expected to be more pronounced as compared to the gross margin decrease in the first half of 2022. We currently expect gross margin for the full year 2022 to decrease primarily due to (i) increased promotional selling and inventory reserves, particularly in theNorth America wholesale business, as compared to the prior year period, due to elevated inventory levels industry-wide compared to consumer demand in the region, and (ii) the higher product, freight and other logistics costs, including ocean freight, as a result of the recent inflationary pressures and the continued supply chain and logistics disruptions. These decreases are expected to be partially offset by (i) planned price increases on select product categories that were implemented beginning in the first half of 2022, and expected to be further implemented in the second half of 2022 to mitigate the higher expected costs discussed above, and (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as explained above.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 were$2.110 billion , or 49.6% of total revenue, as compared to$2.101 billion , or 47.8% of total revenue, in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The 180 basis point increase was principally attributable to (i) costs incurred in connection with the exit from ourRussia business, primarily consisting of noncash asset impairments, (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as a result of the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business, as the revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses carried lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue and (iii) lower expenses in the first half of 2021 as stores in certain regions were closed and other stores were only beginning to re-open. These increases were partially offset by the absence in 2022 of costs incurred in the twenty-six week period of the prior year associated with (i) reductions in our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint and (ii) the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business. 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2022 will increase as compared to 2021, with the increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the second half of 2022 expected to be less pronounced as compared to the first half of 2022. We currently expect SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2022 to increase primarily as a result of (i) costs incurred in connection with the exit from ourRussia business, primarily consisting of noncash asset impairments and (ii) the impact of the reduction in revenue from our Heritage Brands businesses as a result of the Heritage Brands transaction and the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business for the reasons explained above. These increases are expected to be partially offset by the absence in 2022 of costs incurred in 2021 associated with (i) reductions in our workforce, primarily in certain international markets, and to reduce our real estate footprint and (ii) the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail business.
Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income
Non-service related pension and postretirement income was
Non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our results of operations. We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2022 will be approximately$14 million . However, our expectation of non-service related pension and post-retirement income for the full year 2022 does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. As a result of the recent volatility in the financial markets, there is significant uncertainty with respect to the actuarial gain or loss we may record on our retirement plans in 2022. We may incur a significant actuarial gain or loss in 2022 if there is a significant increase or decrease in discount rates, respectively, or if there is a difference in the actual and expected return on plan assets. As such, our actual 2022 non-service related pension and postretirement income may be significantly different than our projections. Non-service related pension and postretirement income was$64 million in 2021, and included a$49 million actuarial gain on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was$32 million in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 as compared to$8 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of income (loss) from (i) our joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER ,Calvin Klein , Warner's, Olga, and certain licensed trademarks inMexico , (ii) our joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER andCalvin Klein brands inIndia , (iii) our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand inBrazil , (iv) ourPVH Legwear LLC joint venture for theTOMMY HILFIGER ,Calvin Klein , IZOD,Van Heusen and Warner's brands and other owned and licensed trademarks inthe United States andCanada , and (v) our investment in Karl Lagerfeld after we resumed the equity method of accounting for our investment in the fourth quarter of 2021 and until the closing of the Karl Lagerfeld transaction onMay 31, 2022 . The equity in net income for the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a$16 million pre-tax gain recorded in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the Karl Lagerfeld transaction, as well as an increase in income attributable to our joint ventures inIndia andMexico . Our investments in the joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We currently expect that our equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for the full year 2022 will increase to approximately$45 million as compared to$24 million in 2021 primarily as a result of the$16 million pre-tax gain that we recorded in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the Karl Lagerfeld transaction, as well as an increase in income attributable to our joint ventures inIndia andMexico . Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net decreased to$42 million in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 from$56 million in the twenty-six week period of the prior year, primarily due to the impact of$1.030 billion of voluntary long-term debt repayments made during 2021.

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 was 28.0% compared to 33.1% in the twenty-six week period of the prior year. The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 reflected a$97 million income tax expense recorded on$345 million of pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 reflected a$139 million income tax expense recorded on$421 million of pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 andAugust 1, 2021 were higher thanthe United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax effects of GILTI and the mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax results. We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly inthe Netherlands and Hong Kong SAR, where the income tax rates, when coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of our jurisdictional activities, have historically been lower thanthe United States statutory income tax rate. In 2022 we no longer benefit from these special rates. We currently expect that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2022 will be approximately 24%. We expect the effective income tax rate in the second half of 2022 will be lower than the first half of 2022 and lower thanthe United States statutory income tax rate due to income tax credits and the overall benefit of certain discrete items, including the favorable impact on certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Our tax rate is affected by many factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, discrete events arising from specific transactions and new regulations, as well as audits by tax authorities and the receipt of new information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions. OnAugust 16, 2022 , theU.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act, with tax provisions primarily focused on implementing a 15% corporate minimum tax based on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. The corporate minimum tax will be effective in fiscal 2023 and the excise tax is effectiveJanuary 1, 2023 . We are currently evaluating the effect of the new law on our consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Summary and Trends
Cash and cash equivalents atJuly 31, 2022 was$699 million , a decrease of$543 million from the$1.242 billion atJanuary 30, 2022 . The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i)$227 million of completed common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program, (ii)$13 million of mandatory long-term debt repayments and (iii)$19 million of cash proceeds received in connection with the Karl Lagerfeld transaction (the remaining$1 million of proceeds is being held in escrow as ofJuly 31, 2022 ). We ended the second quarter of 2022 with approximately$1.1 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities. The seasonality of our business results in significant fluctuations in our cash balance between fiscal year end and subsequent interim periods due, in part, to the timing of inventory purchases and peak sales periods. Cash flow for the full year 2022 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted below in this "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section, including (i) mandatory long-term debt repayments of approximately$32 million , subject to exchange rate fluctuations, and (ii) expected common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of approximately$400 million . There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain and logistics disruptions and inflationary pressures globally. Our cash flows may be subject to material significant change, including as a result of increased in-transit inventory levels or significant production delays and other working capital changes that we may experience as a result of the pandemic and supply chain and logistics disruptions, and elevated inventory levels that we may experience due to lower consumer demand for our products as a result of inflationary pressures. 48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ofJuly 31, 2022 ,$573 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of our earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside ofthe United States . However, if management decides at a later date to repatriate these earnings tothe United States , we may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, including any applicable foreign withholding tax andUnited States state income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation. Operations Cash used by operating activities was$163 million in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 compared to$332 million of cash provided by operating activities in the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 . The decrease in cash provided by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by (i) changes in our working capital, including an increase in inventories due to a combination of (a) abnormally low inventory levels in all regions in the prior year period, (b) a planned increase in our core product to mitigate the ongoing supply chain and logistics disruptions and (c) elevated inventory levels in ourNorth America wholesale business due to lower than expected demand and (ii) a decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges. Our cash flows from operations have been, and are expected to continue to be impacted by temporary store closures and other significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and supply chain and logistics disruptions on our business, as well as lower consumer demand as a result of inflationary pressures, particularly inNorth America and to a lesser extent inEurope . In an effort to mitigate these impacts, we have been and continue to be focused on working capital management.
Supply Chain Finance Program
We have a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "SCF program") that provides our inventory suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The SCF program is administered through third party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from us and sell their receivables due from us to financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and have no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable. Our payment obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers' participation in the SCF program. Accordingly, amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding payments are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We have been informed by the third party administrators of the SCF program that suppliers had elected to sell approximately$620 million ,$475 million and$430 million of our payment obligations that were outstanding as ofJuly 31, 2022 ,January 30, 2022 andAugust 1, 2021 , respectively, to financial institutions and approximately$960 million and$740 million had been settled through the program during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 andAugust 1, 2021 , respectively.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We received dividends of$16 million and$19 million from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 andAugust 1, 2021 , respectively. These dividends are included in our net cash (used) provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective period.
Karl Lagerfeld Transaction
We entered into a definitive agreement onApril 29, 2022 to sell our approximately 8% economic interest in Karl Lagerfeld to a subsidiary of G-III and completed the sale onMay 31, 2022 for$20 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments, of which$19 million was received in the second quarter of 2022 and the remaining$1 million is being held in escrow and is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. Please see Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. 49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 were$109 million compared to$110 million in the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 . We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2022 will be approximately$325 million as compared to$268 million in 2021 and will primarily consist of investments in (i) new stores and store renovations, (ii) investments in our information technology infrastructure worldwide, including data centers and information security, (iii) continued investments in upgrades and enhancements to platforms and systems worldwide, including our digital commerce platforms, and (iv) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network inEurope andNorth America .
Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
We completed the acquisition of the approximately 78% interest inGazal Corporation Limited ("Gazal") that we did not already own (the "Australia acquisition") in 2019. TheAustralia acquisition agreement provided for key executives ofGazal andPVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited to exchange a portion of their interests inGazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of our previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in theAustralia business. We were obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches. We purchased tranche 1 (50% of the shares) for$17 million inJune 2020 and tranche 2 (the remaining 50% of the shares) for$24 million inJune 2021 based on exchange rates in effect on the applicable payment dates. The tranche 2 payments are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 as follows: (i)$15 million as financing cash flows, which represented the initial fair value of the liability recognized on the acquisition date, and (ii)$9 million as operating cash flows attributable to interest. Please see Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.
Dividends
We suspended our dividends inMarch 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of a waiver we obtained inJune 2020 of certain covenants under our senior unsecured credit facilities (referred to as the "June 2020 Amendment"), we were not permitted to declare or pay dividends during the relief period. However, effectiveJune 10, 2021 , the relief period under theJune 2020 Amendment was terminated and we were permitted to declare and pay dividends on our common stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Please see Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedJanuary 30, 2022 for further discussion of the terms of theJune 2020 Amendment and the relief period. Cash dividends paid on our common stock totaled$5 million during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 . We did not pay any cash dividends on our common stock during the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 , following termination of the relief period. We currently project that cash dividends paid on our common stock in 2022 will be approximately$10 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as ofJuly 31, 2022 , our estimate of stock to be issued during 2022 under our stock incentive plans and our estimate of stock repurchases for the remainder of 2022.
Acquisition of Treasury Shares
The Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate$3.0 billion stock repurchase program throughJune 3, 2026 , which includes a$1.0 billion increase in the authorization and a three year extension of the program approved by the Board of Directors onApril 11, 2022 . Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. We suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning inMarch 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of theJune 2020 Amendment, we were not permitted to make share repurchases during the relief period. However, effectiveJune 10, 2021 , the relief period was terminated and we 50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- were permitted to resume share repurchases at management's discretion. Please see Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedJanuary 30, 2022 for further discussion of the terms of theJune 2020 Amendment and the relief period. During the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 , and following the termination of the relief period, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock under the program. During the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 , we purchased 3.2 million shares of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for$224 million . Purchases of$3 million were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as ofJuly 31, 2022 . Purchases of$6 million that were accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as ofJanuary 30, 2022 were paid in the first quarter of 2022. As ofJuly 31, 2022 , the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and$999 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.
We currently expect common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program

The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as ofJuly 31, 2022 was 0.16%. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to$188 million based on exchange rates in effect onJuly 31, 2022 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 was$17 million .
2021 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
OnApril 28, 2021 , we replaced our 364-day$275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility, which matured onApril 7, 2021 , with a 364-day$275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2021 facility"). The 2021 facility matured onApril 27, 2022 , and was not replaced. We paid approximately$800,000 of debt issuance costs in connection with the 2021 facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2021 facility during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 . Finance Lease Liabilities
Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled
2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
We have senior unsecured credit facilities dueApril 29, 2024 (as amended, the "2019 facilities") that consist of a €500 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the "Euro TLA facility") and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a$675 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD$70 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available inUnited States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200 million euro- 51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a$50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available inUnited States dollars orHong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities also consisted of a$1.093 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the "USD TLA facility"). We repaid the outstanding principal balance under our USD TLA facility in 2021. Borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at variable rates calculated in the manner set forth in the terms of the 2019 facilities. We had loans outstanding of$458 million , net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the Euro TLA facility, no borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, and$12 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as ofJuly 31, 2022 . We made payments totaling$13 million and$707 million on our term loans under the 2019 facilities during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 andAugust 1, 2021 , respectively, and we expect to make long-term debt repayments of approximately$32 million during the full year 2022. The current applicable margin with respect to the Euro TLA facility and each revolving credit facility as ofJuly 31, 2022 was 1.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.250% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of our fiscal quarters, based upon our net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating byStandard & Poor's or Moody's. We entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of our variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for any outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the one-monthLondon interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") is eliminated and we pay a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 1, 2021 (no interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the twenty-six weeks endedJuly 31, 2022 ):

Our 2019 facilities require us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio, calculated in the manner set forth in the terms of the 2019 facilities. Please see Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedJanuary 30, 2022 for further discussion of the 2019 facilities.
We expect to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under the 2019 facilities based on our current forecasts.
