Tommy Hilfiger owner PVH cuts roles among head office
According to a statement to Drapers, issued by a spokesperson for the group, its European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) business is 'evolving' as the company looks to 'unlock our full potential in the region and drive sustainable, profitable, long-term growth'.
The spokesperson continued: 'As a result, some associates have experienced a role change, and some roles have been impacted. We will be providing transitional support to impacted associates.'
In its Q1 report for FY25, PVH lowered its profit forecast amid an ongoing challenging economic climate. US customs policies were cited as the primary cause for concern, leading the group to revise its profit target from the initial 12.40 and 12.75 dollars to 10.75 and 11 dollars.
During the quarter, the company swung into a pre-tax loss of 349 million dollars, down from a pre-tax income of 187 million dollars in the previous year. Gross profit also fell from 3 percent year-on-year to 1.16 billion dollars.
FashionUnited has contacted PVH with a request for more information.

Aberdeen profit beats forecasts, flags margin pressure ahead
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - British money manager Aberdeen (ABDN.L), opens new tab reported a forecast-beating first-half profit on Wednesday, but flagged that price cuts at its adviser arm designed to compete with lower-fee rivals would eat into its margins. Aberdeen, which rebranded from its widely-mocked truncated name "abrdn" earlier this year, reported outflows of client cash over the period of 900 million pounds ($1.2 billion), although the figure was narrower than expected. Analysts said Aberdeen's lower costs and an improvement in its investment returns could lead to performance forecast upgrades, but that expected lowered margins at its adviser unit were a weak point. Shares in the company were broadly flat in early trading, but they remain up around 40% over the year-to-date as investors have warmed to CEO Jason Windsor's turnaround plan focused on trimming costs and sharpening its wealth credentials. European active fund managers have been squeezed in recent years by competition from low-fee index-tracker products offered by the likes of U.S. giants BlackRock and Vanguard, eating into their market share. Windsor told reporters that the fund industry was still facing margin pressures, but that this had stabilised in some markets and there were still areas to grow. Its Interactive investor unit reported record net inflows for the period of 4 billion pounds, as consumers continued to show appetite for buying stocks and bonds despite volatile markets in part fueled by U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump. The first-half outflow compared with 800 million pounds of net inflows in the same period the prior year, although the numbers were skewed by a swing in flows away from low-fee cash funds. The fund manager said assets under management were 517.6 billion pounds, slightly ahead of forecasts, while it also reported an adjusted operating profit of 125 million pounds, beating forecasts but down 2% on the prior year. It said it would pay an unchanged interim dividend of 7.3 pence per share. ($1 = 0.7488 pounds)

Grangemouth closure hit Scottish economy hard as manufacturing plunges
THE closure of the Grangemouth oil refinery has hit the Scottish economy hard, new figures show. Statistics released by the Scottish Government show a drop-off of 0.4% in GDP growth in the three months up to May – effectively wiping out the 0.4% increase seen in the first three months of the year. In May, estimates by the Government found GDP contracted by 0.2%, following a boost of 0.1% the month before. The biggest drop-off in the three months up to May was seen in the manufacturing sector, which was hit by the closure of the refinery. READ MORE: Labour respond as 400k demand repeal of Online Safety Act Owner Petroineos announced last year the refinery would be turning into an import terminal, leaving Scotland without its own refinery and posing one of the first major tests of both the UK and Scottish governments in their push for a just transition away from oil and gas. Repeated attempts to halt the closure ultimately failed, with the loss of around 100 jobs, though plans for future use of the site have been put in motion as both governments seek external investment. As a result of the closure, manufacturing output in Scotland reduced by 4.1% in May. (Image: Andrew Milligan) Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes (above) – who also has responsibility for the economy – said the figures show the UK economy to be 'less productive and more unequal than independent European countries comparable to Scotland'. 'While Scotland's GDP growth of 0.4% in the first quarter shows a positive start to the year, like the rest of the UK we have been affected by ongoing global challenges, including more difficult trading conditions,' she said. 'The latest monthly figure demonstrates the cessation of oil refining at Grangemouth has contributed to a reduced output in the manufacturing sector. READ MORE: Scottish Labour silent on support for Sandie Peggie after racist jokes made public 'Ministers are working closely to provide a just transition for the workforce and we have so far committed around £87 million to support the industrial cluster, including the £25m Grangemouth just transition fund and up to £450,000 to support affected workers to transition into new roles. 'By pursuing new investment opportunities and supporting entrepreneurship, the Scottish Government is taking steps to grow Scotland's economy. 'But these and other economic statistics increasingly show that the UK's economy is less productive and more unequal than independent European countries comparable to Scotland. 'Ultimately, only the powers of independence will allow us to create a wealthier and fairer nation for everyone in Scotland.'
