Tommy Hilfiger Corporation has reported preliminary results for the second quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2006.

On a preliminary basis, net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $500 million compared with approximately $534 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Revenue growth in the company's international wholesale segment and its retail segment partially offset a decline in the US wholesale segment. Higher margins earned in international wholesale and retail, however, compensated for the decline in US wholesale revenue. As a result, the company expects its operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to be somewhat higher than that of the comparable prior year period. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, however, is expected to be below that of the prior year, owing to an unusually low effective tax rate in fiscal 2005.
