Why Did PVH Shares Fall After Hours?

PVH (NYSE: PVH) reported its fiscal 2014 first quarter results Wednesday after the market close and, despite posting non-GAAP EPS within guidance ($1.47 vs $1.45 - $1.50), the company's shares fell over six percent in the after-hours period.

The most likely culprit for this decline is the company's lowered full year non-GAAP EPS guidance, which was reduced from $7.40 - $7.50 to $7.30 - $7.40.

"Unfortunately, the challenging macroeconomic environment has continued into the second quarter, with heightened promotional activity across the North American retail landscape. As such, we believe our North American businesses will experience margin pressure in the second quarter and we have lowered our full year earnings per share guidance to reflect this," said PVH Chairman and CEO Emanuel Chirico.

The following are highlights from the guidance reported in Wednesday's release.
