The projected fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings per share on a non-Gaap basis excludes, among other things, the pre-tax costs expected to be incurred in connection with a restructuring in the company's Calvin Klein business and the resulting tax effects.

"Our improved 2018 outlook reflects the power of our diversified global business model. Specifically, we are experiencing outperformance across all of our businesses relative to our previous guidance, despite the increasingly volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment," Emanuel Chirico, chairman and chief executive officer, said.

The company’s projection of fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings per share on a non-Gaap basis excludes the pre-tax costs incurred and to be incurred related to the April 2016 acquisition of the 55 per cent interest in the company’s former Tommy Hilfiger joint venture in China that it did not already own, consisting of noncash amortisation of short-lived assets, the pre-tax costs to be incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring and the pre-tax actuarial gain or loss on the company’s retirement plans. The estimated tax effects of the above pre-tax items are also excluded from the company’s projections of fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings per share on a non-Gaap basis. (RR)
