MOVADO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Movado Group, Inc. (the “Company”), in a manner consistent with that used in the preparation of the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data at January 31, 2023 is derived from the audited annual financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

 

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

 

 

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE AND CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company presents net income attributable to Movado Group, Inc. after adjusting for noncontrolling interests, as applicable, per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share is computed using weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for dilutive common stock equivalents.

The number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 345,000 and 170,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

 

On March 23, 2023, the Company declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share, as well as a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, both payable on April 19, 2023, to shareholders of record on April 5, 2023. The total dividends of $29.9 million were paid on April 19, 2023. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.35 per share, or $7.9 million, during the three months ended April 30, 2022.

NOTE 5 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT

 

On October 12, 2018, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC (together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), each a wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, and Movado Watch Company S.A. and MGI Luxury Group S.A., each a wholly owned Swiss subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). As a result of the merger of Movado Watch Company S.A. into MGI Luxury Group S.A. in July 2022, MGI Luxury Group S.A. (subsequently renamed MGI Luxury Group GmbH as a result of the conversion of its corporate form) became the sole Swiss subsidiary of the Company party to the Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the "Swiss Borrower" and, together with the U.S. Borrowers, the "Borrowers"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) and has a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The Facility includes a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $25.0 million swingline subfacility and a $75.0 million sublimit for borrowings by the Swiss Borrower, with provisions for uncommitted increases to the Facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).

 

The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower, except that the Swiss Borrower is not liable for, nor does it guarantee, the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the U.S. Borrowers’ assets other than certain excluded assets. The Swiss Borrower does not provide collateral to secure the obligations under the Facility.

As of April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2022, there were no amounts in loans outstanding under the Facility for either period. Availability under the Facility was reduced by the aggregate number of letters of credit outstanding, issued in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada, totaling approximately $0.3 million at both April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022. At April 30, 2023, the letters of credit have expiration dates through April 26, 2024. As of April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2022, availability under the Facility was $99.7 million for both periods.

The Company had weighted average borrowings under the Facility of zero during both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

8


 

A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with a Swiss bank that are subject to repayment upon demand. As of April 30, 2023, and 2022, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of $7.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, and 2022, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2023 and 2022, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.6 million for both periods was a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.

Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was $0.1 million for both the three month periods ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

 

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company addresses certain financial exposures that include the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of April 30, 2023, the Company's net forward contracts hedging portfolio designated as qualified cash flow hedging instruments consisted of 21.0 million Euros equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through July 27, 2023. The net gain or loss on the derivatives is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings using the same revenue or expense category that the hedged item impacted. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts not designated as qualified hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s net forward contracts hedging portfolio not designated as qualified hedges consisted of 24.7 million Chinese Yuan equivalent, 24.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 17.1 million US dollars equivalent, 17.4 million Euros equivalent and 2.8 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through September 14, 2023. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise. Net gains or losses related to these forward contracts are included in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are classified in operating activities.

The following table presents the fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2023, January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022 (in thousands):

See Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements for fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives.

 

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2023 and 2022 and January 31, 2023 (in thousands):

The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the short-term investment, which is a guaranteed investment certificate, is based on its purchase price plus one half of a percent calculated annually. The assets related to the Company’s defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) consist of both employer (employee unvested) and employee assets which are invested in investment funds with fair values calculated based on quoted market prices. The SERP liability represents the Company’s liability to the employees in the plan for their vested balances. The hedge derivatives consist of cash flow hedging instruments and forward contracts (see Note 6 for further discussion) and are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to Swiss Franc and Euro exchange rate risks. Fair values of the Company’s hedge derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates and quoted interest rates.

 

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland. The plan covers certain international employees and is based on years of service and compensation on a career-average pay basis. The assets within the plan are classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy and consist of an investment in pooled assets and include separate employee accounts that are invested in equity securities, debt securities and real estate. The values of the separate accounts invested are based on values provided by the administrator of the funds that cannot be readily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The value of the assets is part of the defined benefit plan and included in other non-current liabilities at April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023 and other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at April 30, 2022.

 

There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.

Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values

From time to time the Company may make minority investments in growth companies in the consumer products sector and other sectors relevant to its business, including certain of the Company's suppliers and customers, as well as in venture capital funds that invest in companies in media, entertainment, information technology and technology-related fields and in digital assets. Through fiscal 2023, the Company invested approximately $5.3 million and during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company invested an additional $0.6 million in venture capital funds (see Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies for discussion of commitments made related to venture capital funds). The Company has evaluated and will regularly evaluate the carrying value of its investments. One consumer products company in which the Company made an equity investment in fiscal year 2022 sold its business and assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 in a transaction that is expected to yield little or no return for equity holders. As a result, the Company has fully impaired its $0.5 million investment in this entity in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The carrying value of the investments are recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2023, January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

 

 

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has minimum commitments related to the Company’s license agreements and endorsement agreements with brand ambassadors, and also includes service agreements. The Company sources, distributes, advertises and sells watches and jewelry pursuant to its exclusive license agreements with unaffiliated licensors. Royalty amounts under the license agreements are generally based on a stipulated percentage of revenues, although most of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of minimum annual royalty amounts. The license agreements have various terms, and some have renewal options, provided that minimum sales levels are achieved. Additionally, the license agreements require the Company to pay minimum annual advertising amounts.

The Company believes that income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the Company could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, state, and foreign liabilities in the future as the Company revises estimates or settles or otherwise resolves the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may take new positions that could increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.

In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputed the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would imply $5.1 million in underpaid duties for all imports that entered the United States during the audit period which extended from August 1, 2011 through July 15, 2016, plus possible penalties and interest. The Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate are not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and has consistently disputed U.S. Customs’ position. Between February 2017 and January 2021, the Company made numerous submissions to U.S. Customs containing supplemental analyses and information in response to U.S. Customs’ information requests. On May 1, 2023, the statute of limitations lapsed with respect to all entries encompassed by the audit period. The Company is analyzing the implications of the lapse.

 

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. As of April 30, 2023, the Company is party to legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations beyond the amounts accrued, or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The effective tax rate was 21.5% and 23.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to return to provision adjustments and changes in jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the release of certain foreign valuation allowances in the prior year.

 

At April 30, 2023, the Company had no deferred tax liability for substantially all of the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $261.9 million because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings in its foreign operations. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability related to a future distribution of these permanently reinvested foreign earnings.

NOTE 11 – TREASURY STOCK

On March 25, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding common stock through September 30, 2022, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. On November 23, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 23, 2024, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. Under both share repurchase programs, the Company is permitted to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 14,000 shares of its common stock under the November 23, 2021 share repurchase program at a total cost of $0.4 million, or an average of $27.24 per share.

Wholesale Revenue

The Company’s wholesale revenue consists primarily of revenues from independent distributors, department stores, chain stores, independent jewelry stores and third-party e-commerce retailers. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, and control is transferred to the customer. Transfer of control passes to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the agreement with the customer and shipping terms. Wholesale revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company ultimately expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Wholesale revenue is included entirely within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment (see Note 15 – Segment and Geographic Information), consistent with how management makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources and performance measurement.

Direct to Consumer Revenue

The Company’s direct to consumer revenue primarily consists of revenues from the Company’s outlet stores, the Company’s owned e-commerce websites and concession stores, and consumer repairs. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, and control is transferred to the customer. Control passes to outlet store customers at the time of sale and to substantially all e-commerce customers upon shipment. Direct to Consumer revenue is included in either the Watch and Accessory Brands segment or Company Stores Segment based on how the Company makes decisions about the allocation of resources and performance measurement. Revenue derived from outlet stores and related e-commerce is included within the Company Stores Segment. Other Direct to Consumer revenue (i.e., revenue derived from other Company-owned e-commerce websites, concession stores and consumer repairs) is included within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment. (See Note 15 – Segment and Geographic Information).

After-Sales Service

All watches sold by the Company come with limited warranties covering the movement against defects in materials and workmanship.

The Company’s after-sales service revenues consists of out of warranty service provided to customers and authorized third party repair centers, and sale of watch parts. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. After-sales service revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company ultimately expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Revenue from after sales service, including consumer repairs, is included entirely within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, consistent with how management makes decisions about the allocation of resources and performance measurement.

 

NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of April 4, 2013 (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of three of the Company’s non-employee directors, has the authority to grant participants incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock awards, for up to 11,000,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Options:

Stock options granted to participants under the Plan generally become exercisable after three years and remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. All stock options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The table below presents the weighted average assumptions used with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the calculation of the fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2022. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2023.

The fair value of the stock options, less expected forfeitures, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Total compensation expense for stock option grants recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Total cash consideration received for stock option exercises during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was zero and $0.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company conducts its business in two operating segments: Watch and Accessory Brands and Company Stores. The Company’s Watch and Accessory Brands segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches and, to a lesser extent, jewelry and other accessories, of owned and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Company Stores segment includes the Company’s retail outlet business. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and regularly reviews operating results for each of the two operating segments to assess performance and makes operating decisions about the allocation of the Company’s resources.

The Company divides its business into two major geographic locations: United States operations and International, which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations. The allocation of geographic revenue is based upon the location of the customer. The Company’s International operations in Europe, the Middle East, the Americas (excluding the United States) and Asia accounted for 30.4%, 12.3%, 12.0% and 4.4%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company’s International operations in Europe, the Middle East, the Americas (excluding the United States) and Asia accounted for 34.0%, 10.1%, 8.4% and 4.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and those significant policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and contained in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The preparation of these financial statements and the application of certain critical accounting policies require management to make judgments based on estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales discounts and markdowns, product returns, bad debt, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairments of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources on historical experience, contractual commitments and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company's most critical accounting policies have been discussed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. As of April 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to any of the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Overview

The Company conducts its business in two operating segments: Watch and Accessory Brands and Company Stores. The Company’s Watch and Accessory Brands segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches and, to a lesser extent, jewelry and other accessories, of owned and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Company Stores segment includes the Company’s retail outlet business in the United States and Canada. The Company also operates in two major geographic locations: United States and International, the latter of which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations.

The Company divides its watch and accessory business into two principal categories: the owned brands category and the licensed brands category. The owned brands category consists of the Movado®, Concord®, Ebel®, Olivia Burton® and MVMT® brands. Products in the licensed brands category include the following brands manufactured and distributed under license agreements with the respective brand owners: Coach®, Tommy Hilfiger®, Hugo Boss®, Lacoste® and Calvin Klein®.

Gross margins vary among the brands included in the Company’s portfolio and also among watch models within each brand. Watches in the Company’s owned brands category generally earn higher gross margin percentages than watches in the licensed brands category. The difference in gross margin percentages within the licensed brands category is primarily due to the impact of royalty payments made on the licensed brands. Gross margins in the Company’s e-commerce business generally earn higher gross margin percentages than those of the traditional wholesale business. Gross margins in the Company’s outlet business are affected by the mix of product sold and may exceed those of the wholesale business since the Company earns margins on its outlet store sales from manufacture to point of sale to the consumer.

Recent Developments and Initiatives

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures materially impacted the Company’s operating results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and continue to affect how the Company and its customers and suppliers operate their businesses to varying degrees. Various containment and mitigation measures that have at times been imposed by governmental and other authorities around the world have adversely affected sales of our products and our supply chain.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic's adverse impact on the Company has significantly diminished in recent quarters, the pandemic may continue to affect the Company’s results of operations for the foreseeable future due to impacts on supply chains, shipping operations, consumer behavior, spending levels, shopping preferences and tourism.

 

Russia's invasion of Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a comprehensive invasion of Ukraine. The invasion and the subsequent economic sanctions imposed by some countries have negatively impacted the Company’s revenue to the extent the conflict and the sanctions negatively impacted economic conditions and our ability to sell products to customers in the affected region. In response to the invasion, the Company decided in March 2022 to suspend all sales to Russia and Belarus. Sales and assets in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine for all periods presented are immaterial to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, the conflict has

20


 

had broader implications on economies outside the region, such as the global inflationary impact of boycotts of Russian oil and gas by other countries and the blockade of Ukrainian grain exports.

 

Results of Operations Overview

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2022, along with a discussion of the changes in financial condition during the first three months of fiscal 2024. The Company’s results of operations for the first three months of fiscal 2024 should not be deemed indicative of the results that the Company will experience for the full year of fiscal 2024. See “Recent Developments and Initiatives” above.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 were $144.9 million, representing an $18.5 million or 11.3% decrease from the prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the Watch and Accessory Brands segment and, to a lesser extent, the Company Stores segment. For the three months ended April 30, 2023, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales by $1.9 million when compared to the prior year period. On a constant dollar basis net sales decreased by 10.1% as compared to the prior year period.

Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $125.6 million, below the prior year period by $17.8 million, or 12.4%. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to decreased volumes resulting from lower demand in the Company's wholesale customers in both the United States and International locations, a decrease in online retail and the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of pricing increases.

United States Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 in the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $40.8 million, below the prior year period by $10.3 million, or 20.2%, resulting primarily from decreased volumes due to lower demand in the Company's wholesale customers in both the owned and licensed brand categories and a decrease in online retail, partially offset

21


 

by the impact of pricing increases. The net sales recorded in the owned brands category decreased $7.3 million, or 18.5%, and net sales recorded in the licensed brand category decreased $2.7 million, or 24.5%.

International Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 in the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $84.8 million, below the prior year by $7.5 million, or 8.1%, which included fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that negatively impacted net sales by $1.9 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net sales was across most brands in both the owned and licensed brand categories primarily due to decreased volumes resulting from lower demand in the Company's wholesale customers, a decrease in online retail and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of pricing increases. The net sales decrease recorded in the owned brands category was $0.8 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to net sales decreases in Europe and the Middle East. The net sales decrease in the licensed brands category was $5.9 million, or 7.6%, primarily due to a net sales decrease in Europe, partially offset by net sales increases across the Middle East and the Americas (excluding the United States).

 

Company Stores Net Sales

 

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2023 in the Company Stores segment were $19.3 million, $0.7 million or 3.5% below the prior year period. The net sales decrease was primarily due to sales mix in the Company stores, partially offset by new store openings and the growth of the Company's online outlet store at www.movadocompanystore.com. As of April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company operated 55 and 51 retail outlet locations, respectively.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was $82.0 million or 56.6% of net sales as compared to $96.7 million or 59.2% of net sales in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit of $14.7 million was primarily due to lower net sales combined with a lower gross margin percentage. The decrease in the gross margin percentage of approximately 260 basis points for the three months ended April 30, 2023 reflected an unfavorable impact of sales mix of approximately 260 basis points, a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of approximately 60 basis points and the decreased leveraging of certain fixed costs as a result of lower sales of approximately 10 basis points, partially offset by decreased shipping costs of approximately 70 basis points.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2023 were $71.1 million, representing a decrease from the prior year period of $0.3 million, or 0.4%. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the following factors: lower marketing expenses of $1.6 million and a decrease in performance-based compensation of $0.9 million. These decreases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by an increase in payroll related expenses of $2.3 million. For the three months ended April 30, 2023, fluctuations in foreign currency rates related to the foreign subsidiaries favorably impacted SG&A expenses by $0.7 million when compared to the prior year period.

Watch and Accessory Brands Operating Income

For the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating income of $8.8 million in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which includes $11.4 million of unallocated corporate expenses as well as $17.3 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recorded operating income of $21.5 million in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included $13.5 million of unallocated corporate expenses as well as $19.1 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. The decrease in operating income was the result of a decrease in gross profit of $13.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses of $0.4 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of lower net sales combined with a lower gross margin percentage primarily due to an unfavorable impact of sales mix and a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower shipping costs. The decrease in SG&A expenses of $0.4 million was primarily due to the following factors: lower marketing expenses of $1.7 million and a decrease in performance-based compensation of $0.8 million. These decreases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by an increase in payroll related expenses of $2.0 million.

U.S. Watch and Accessory Brands Loss

In the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, for the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded an operating loss of $9.0 million which includes unallocated corporate expenses of $11.4 million. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 the Company recorded an operating loss of $3.0 million in the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included unallocated corporate expenses of $13.5 million. The increase in operating loss was the result of lower gross profit of $7.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses of $1.6 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit of $7.6 million was primarily the result of lower net sales, combined with a lower gross margin percentage primarily due to an unfavorable impact of sales mix, partially offset by lower shipping costs. The decrease in SG&A expenses of $1.6

22


 

million was primarily due to the following factors: lower marketing expenses of $2.2 million and a decrease in performance-based compensation of $0.4 million. These decreases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by an increase in payroll related expenses of $1.6 million.

International Watch and Accessory Brands Operating Income

In the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, for the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating income of $17.8 million which includes $17.3 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s International supply chain operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 the Company recorded operating income of $24.5 million in the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included $19.1 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. The decrease in operating income was the result of lower gross profit of $5.4 million combined with higher SG&A expenses of $1.3 million. The decrease in gross profit of $5.4 million was primarily the result of lower net sales, combined with a lower gross margin percentage primarily due to an unfavorable impact of sales mix and a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower shipping costs. The increase in SG&A expenses of $1.3 million was primarily due to the following factors: higher marketing expenses of $0.5 million and an increase in payroll related expenses of $0.4 million. These increases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by a decrease in performance-based compensation of $0.3 million.

Company Stores Operating Income

 

The Company recorded operating income of $2.1 million and $3.7 million in the Company Stores segment for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in operating income of $1.6 million was primarily related to a decrease in gross profit of $1.6 million, mainly due to a lower gross margin percentage combined with lower net sales, while SG&A expenses remained relatively flat, reflecting a $0.3 million increase in payroll related expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in professional service fees. As of April 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company Stores segment operated 55 and 51 retail outlet locations, respectively.

 

Other Non-Operating Income, net

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded other income, net of $1.0 million primarily due to interest income and the non-service components of the Company's Swiss pension plan, partially offset by a $0.5 million impairment related to an equity investment that sold its business and assets in which the Company expects to receive little or no return on its investment.

 

The Company recorded other income of $0.1 million primarily due to the non-service components of the Company’s Swiss pension plan for the three months ended April 30, 2022.

Interest expense was $0.1 million primarily due to the payment of unused commitment fees for both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The effective tax rate was 21.5% and 23.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to return to provision adjustments and changes in jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by the release of certain foreign valuation allowances in the prior year.

 

Net Income Attributable to Movado Group, Inc.

 

The Company recorded net income attributable to Movado Group, Inc. of $9.1 million and $18.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company had $198.3 million and $225.3 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Of this total, $117.9 million and $188.8 million, respectively, consisted of cash and cash equivalents at the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

23


 

At April 30, 2023 the Company had working capital of $409.4 million as compared to $386.6 million at April 30, 2022. The increase in working capital was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in inventories and income taxes receivable, partially offset by a decrease in cash. The Company defines working capital as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

The Company had $21.5 million of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as compared to $20.8 million of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2023 included net income of $9.3 million, positively adjusted by $4.5 million related to non-cash items. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2023 included an $11.1 million decrease in income taxes payable, a decrease in accrued payroll of $9.8 million primarily as a result of payments of performance-based compensation, an $8.1 million increase in investment in inventories primarily due to timing of receipts and a $7.9 million decrease in accounts payable primarily as a result of timing of payments. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily due to a $24.3 million increase in investment in inventories and a decrease in accrued payroll of $17.1 million as a result of payments of performance-based compensation, partially offset by net income of $19.3 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $3.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The cash used in the three months ended April 30, 2023 was primarily related to capital expenditures of $2.3 million primarily due to new computer software and leasehold improvements and $0.6 million of long-term investments. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was primarily due to $1.8 million of long-term investments and $1.4 million of capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities was $30.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $22.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The cash used in the three months ended April 30, 2023 included $29.9 million in dividends paid, which included a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share, and $0.4 million in stock repurchased in the open market. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2022 included $14.4 million in stock repurchased in the open market and $7.9 million in dividends paid.

 

On October 12, 2018, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC (together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), each a wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, and Movado Watch Company S.A. and MGI Luxury Group S.A., each a wholly owned Swiss subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). As a result of the merger of Movado Watch Company S.A. into MGI Luxury Group S.A. in July 2022, MGI Luxury Group S.A. (subsequently renamed MGI Luxury Group GmbH as a result of the conversion of its corporate form) became the sole Swiss subsidiary of the Company party to the Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the "Swiss Borrower" and, together with the U.S. Borrowers, the "Borrowers"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) and has a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The Facility includes a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $25.0 million swingline subfacility and a $75.0 million sublimit for borrowings by the Swiss Borrower, with provisions for uncommitted increases to the Facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).

 

The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower, except that the Swiss Borrower is not liable for, nor does it guarantee, the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the U.S. Borrowers’ assets other than certain excluded assets. The Swiss Borrower does not provide collateral to secure the obligations under the Facility.

As of April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2022, there were no amounts in loans outstanding under the Facility for either period. Availability under the Facility was reduced by the aggregate number of letters of credit outstanding, issued in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada, totaling approximately $0.3 million at both April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022. At April 30, 2023, the letters of credit have expiration dates through April 26, 2024. As of April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2022, availability under the Facility was $99.7 million for both periods. For additional information regarding the Facility, see Note 5 – Debt and Lines of Credit to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company had weighted average borrowings under the Facility of zero during both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

24


 

A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with a Swiss bank that are subject to repayment upon demand. As of April 30, 2023, and 2022, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of $7.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, and 2022, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2023 and 2022, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.6 million for both periods was a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.

Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was $0.1 million for both the three-month periods ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.

From time to time the Company may make minority investments in growth companies in the consumer products sector and other sectors relevant to its business, including certain of the Company's suppliers and customers, as well as in venture capital funds that invest in companies in media, entertainment, information technology and technology-related fields and in digital assets. During fiscal 2022, the Company committed to invest up to $21.5 million in such investments. The Company funded approximately $5.3 million of these commitments through fiscal 2023 and an additional $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and may be called upon to satisfy capital calls in respect of the remaining $15.6 million in such commitments at any time during a period generally ending ten years after the first capital call in respect of a given commitment. One consumer products company in which the Company made an equity investment in fiscal year 2022 sold its business and assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 in a transaction that is expected to yield little or no return for equity holders. As a result, the Company fully impaired its $0.5 million investment in this entity in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

On March 23, 2023, the Company declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share, as well as a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, both paid on April 19, 2023, to shareholders of record on April 5, 2023. The total dividends of $29.9 million were paid on April 19, 2023. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.35 per share, or $7.9 million, during the three months ended April 30, 2022. Although the Company currently expects to continue to declare cash dividends in the future, the decision of whether to declare any future cash dividend, including the amount of any such dividend and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be determined, in each quarter, by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

On March 25, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding common stock through September 30, 2022, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. On November 23, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 23, 2024, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. Under both share repurchase programs, the Company is permitted to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 14,000 shares of its common stock under the November 23, 2021 share repurchase program at a total cost of $0.4 million, or an average of $27.24 per share. At April 30, 2023, zero remains available for purchase under the Company’s March 25, 2021 repurchase program and $20.6 million remains available for purchase under the Company's November 23, 2021 repurchase program. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 378,380 shares of its common stock under the March 25, 2021 share repurchase program and November 23, 2021 share repurchase program at a total cost of $14.4 million, or an average of $38.16 per share.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet financing or unconsolidated special-purpose entities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposure relates to foreign currency exchange risk (see Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements). A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are denominated in Swiss Francs and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese Yen. The Company also sells to third-party customers in a variety of foreign currencies, most notably the Euro, Swiss Franc and the British Pound. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss Franc, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen exchange rate risk through a hedging program. Under the hedging program, the Company manages most of its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows it to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In the event

25


 

these exposures do not offset, from time to time the Company uses various derivative financial instruments to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations, predominately forward and option contracts. Certain of these contracts meet the requirements of qualified hedges. In these circumstances, the Company designates and documents these derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of hedges designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and which are highly effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and then are later reclassified into earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. The earnings impact is mostly offset by the effects of currency movements on the underlying hedged transactions. To the extent that the Company does not engage in a hedging program, any change in the Swiss Franc, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen exchange rates to local currency would have an equal effect on the Company’s earnings.

From time to time the Company uses forward exchange contracts, which do not meet the requirements of qualified hedges, to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency receivables and liabilities. These forward contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect resulting from the revaluation of the related foreign currency receivables and liabilities.

As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 24.7 million Chinese Yuan equivalent, 24.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 17.1 million U.S. dollars equivalent, 38.4 million Euros equivalent (including 21.0 million Euros designated as cash flow hedges) and 2.8 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through September 14, 2023, compared to a portfolio of 9.4 million Chinese Yuan equivalent, 36.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 21.9 million U.S. dollars equivalent, 53.2 million Euros equivalent (including 38.0 million Euros designated as cash flow hedges) and 1.0 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through October 20, 2022, as of April 30, 2022. If the Company were to settle its Swiss Franc forward contracts at April 30, 2023, the result would be a $0.6 million gain. If the Company were to settle its Euro forward contracts at April 30, 2023, the result would be a $0.4 million loss. As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s British Pound, Chinese Yuan and US Dollar forward contracts had no gain or loss.

Commodity Risk

The Company considers its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices to be primarily related to gold used in the manufacturing of the Company’s watches. Under its hedging program, the Company can purchase various commodity derivative instruments, primarily futures contracts. When held, these derivatives are documented as qualified cash flow hedges, and the resulting gains and losses on these derivative instruments are first reflected in other comprehensive income, and later reclassified into earnings, partially offset by the effects of gold market price changes on the underlying actual gold purchases. The Company did not hold any future contracts in its gold hedge portfolio as of April 30, 2023 and 2022; thus, any changes in the gold purchase price will have an equal effect on the Company’s cost of sales.

Debt and Interest Rate Risk

Floating rate debt at April 30, 2023 and 2022 was zero for both periods. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company had no borrowings. The Company does not hedge these interest rate risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, it should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met and may not prevent all errors or instances of fraud.

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended April 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputed the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would imply $5.1 million in underpaid duties for all imports that entered the United States during the audit period which extended from August 1, 2011 through July 15, 2016, plus possible penalties and interest. The Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate are not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and has consistently disputed U.S. Customs’ position. Between February 2017 and January 2021, the Company made numerous submissions to U.S. Customs containing supplemental analyses and information in response to U.S. Customs’ information requests. On May 1, 2023, the statute of limitations lapsed with respect to all entries encompassed by the audit period. The Company is analyzing the implications of the lapse.

In addition to the above matters, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of April 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to any of the risk factors previously reported in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On March 25, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time through September 30, 2022, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. On November 23, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 23, 2024, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. Under both share repurchase programs, the Company is permitted to purchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 14,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $0.4 million, or an average of $27.24 per share.

At the election of an employee, upon the vesting of a stock award or the exercise of a stock option, shares of common stock having an aggregate value on the vesting of the award or the exercise date of the option, as the case may be, equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company by netting them from the vested shares issued. Similarly, shares having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of an option may be tendered to the Company in payment of the option exercise price and netted from the shares of common stock issued upon the option exercise. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended April 30, 2023 as a result of the surrender of shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awards and stock options.
