Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) (the “Company” or “Fossil
Group”) today reported its financial results for the first quarter
ended March 30, 2019.
The Company reported net income (loss) for the
first quarter of fiscal 2019 of $(12.2) million compared to $(48.3)
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share were $(0.25), as compared to $(0.99) for
the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 included a gain on sale
of intellectual property to Google of $0.33 per diluted share and
restructuring charges of $0.16 per diluted share. The first
quarter of fiscal 2018 included restructuring charges of $0.35 per
diluted share. Currencies, including both the translation
impact on operating earnings and the impact of foreign currency
hedging contracts, unfavorably impacted earnings (loss) per share
by $0.08.
Kosta Kartsotis, Chairman and CEO stated: “We began fiscal
2019 reporting sales and earnings that exceeded our expectations.
Given the ongoing disruptions in our category, we continue to plan
our business conservatively but are operating with a sense of
urgency to transform our sales channels and to increase product
innovation across our categories. While first quarter sales
declined in total, we delivered a solid performance in Asia, with
double-digit growth in China and India; our e-commerce sales were
positive; and in connected, FOSSIL® watch sales increased with
particular strength in the Americas region. We are looking
forward to the launch of our Puma® and BMW® watch offerings and are
pleased to have renewed our licensing agreement with DKNY®.
We've also renewed our license agreement with Tory Burch® and are
excited about the future of this partnership. We remain
confident that our operating platform, brand portfolio, strong
innovation and powerful partnerships will enable us to deliver on
our objective of long term profitable growth. We have begun
implementation of our New World Fossil 2.0 initiative, Transform To
Grow, to unlock more operational efficiencies and reinvest in
digital and consumer facing activities.”
Operating ResultsCompared to
the first quarter of fiscal 2018, foreign currency fluctuations
decreased the Company’s first quarter fiscal 2019 reported net
sales by $17.5 million and decreased operating income by $3.2
million. The discussion of the Company’s net sales is
presented on a GAAP basis and in constant dollars and reflects
regional performance based on sales in all channels within the
geographic location.
The following table provides a summary of net
sales performance, on both a reported and constant currency basis,
for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the fiscal 2018
first quarter (in millions, except percentage data).

(1) Reported GAAP amounts include impacts from
currency.(2) Eliminates the effect of currency changes
in fiscal 2019 to give investors a better understanding of the
underlying trends within the business. See constant currency
financial information at the end of this release for more
information.
First quarter fiscal 2019 worldwide net sales
decreased $103.9 million or 18% and $86.4 million in constant
currency (a 15% decline) compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2018. Watches declined in the Americas and Europe and
increased moderately in Asia. Geographically, sales declines
in the U.S. drove the decrease in the Americas. In Europe, on
a constant currency basis, sales across the Eurozone and in
distributor markets in Eastern Europe and the Middle East declined,
with the greatest declines in Germany, France and the U.K. In
Asia, sales increases in China, India, Hong Kong and South Korea
were partially offset by moderate sales declines in Australia,
Japan and Taiwan.
Global retail comps for the first quarter of
fiscal 2019 were (9%) as compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2018, with declines across all product categories and regions,
largely driven by the Company's outlet stores. Global direct
e-commerce sales continued growth in the first quarter of fiscal
2019.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, gross
margin increased 280 basis points to 53.3%, driven by decreased
off-price sales mix with improved margins, favorable region and
product mix from higher margin Asia sales and lower promotional
activity and markdowns, as well as benefits generated by the
Company's New World Fossil ("NWF") margin improvement
initiatives. These increases were partially offset by
unfavorable factory cost absorption on lower sales volumes.
Additionally, gross margin was unfavorably impacted by
approximately 50 basis points due to currency movements.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the
Company’s operating expenses were $267.9 million, including $10.2
million of restructuring costs, primarily related to employee
costs, professional services and a warehouse closure as compared to
$21.3 million of restructuring costs in the prior fiscal year first
quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$37.0 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018,
primarily as a result of lower store expenses given the significant
number of store closures since the first quarter of last year,
corporate and regional infrastructure reductions driven by the NWF
initiatives and the favorable currency effects on expenses of a
stronger dollar.
Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal
2019 was $19.9 million as compared to an operating loss of $28.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Operating loss
improved $8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 driven by
reduced operating expenses and increased gross profit margin,
partially offset by lower sales and an unfavorable impact from
currency changes.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019,
interest expense decreased $2.6 million to $8.1 million.
Other income (expense) changed favorably by $27.7 million to $25.8
million, primarily due to a $21.6 million gain on sale of
intellectual property to Google and net foreign currency gains
compared to net losses in the prior fiscal year first quarter.
Income tax expenses were $9.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2019 and included the recognition of
deferred tax asset valuation allowances. The Company’s
effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was
(446.1)%, compared to (16.3)% for the first quarter of fiscal
2018. The higher effective tax rate in the fiscal 2019 first
quarter as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to
a higher level of foreign income which increased the tax expense on
a lower overall pre-tax loss.
GuidanceOver the next several
years, Fossil Group will continue to transform the Company’s
business model to address changes in consumer behaviors and their
purchases of traditional watches and connected devices, as well as
jewelry and leathers. During the Company’s ongoing
transformation project, it believes the following operating metrics
are the most appropriate performance measures: net sales, gross
margin, operating expenses, operating margin, other income
(expense), interest expense and income (loss) before income
taxes.
The Company is providing guidance on a GAAP
basis. For comparison purposes, the Company has also provided
additional information which quantifies the estimated impact on its
operating expenses and operating income for non-operational items
impacting operating results for fiscal 2019 and the second quarter
of fiscal 2019. The Company expects the following during
fiscal 2019:

Constant Currency Financial
InformationThe following table presents the Company’s
business segment and product net sales on a constant currency basis
which are non-GAAP financial measures. To calculate net sales
on a constant currency basis, net sales for the current fiscal year
period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates during
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company
presents constant currency information to provide investors with a
basis to evaluate how its underlying business performed excluding
the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The constant currency financial information presented herein should
not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
