- Gross profit

compared to $0.31 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020.
Per share data included restructuring charges of $0.08 per diluted
share in the third quarter of 2021 and $0.09 per diluted share in
the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2021,

Balance Sheet Summary
As of October 2, 2021, the Company had total
liquidity of $305 million, consisting of $182 million of cash and
cash equivalents and $123 million of availability under its
revolving credit facility. Total debt was $139 million, including
$122 million under its term credit agreement. Inventories at the
end of the third quarter of 2021 totaled $398 million, an increase
of 11% versus the prior year. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Fossil
completed a $150 million senior notes offering, further
strengthening the Company’s financial condition. The proceeds were
primarily used to repay outstanding borrowings under its Term
Credit Agreement, prepayment fees and accrued interest costs. The
remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes.
Outlook
For fiscal year 2021, the Company is raising its
outlook for worldwide net sales growth to approximately 17% to 19%,
at prevailing currency rates, and full year Adjusted EBITDA(1)
margin to 8.5% to 9.5%. For the 13-week quarter ending January 1,
2022, worldwide net sales are expected to increase in the range of
18% to 25% compared to the 13-week quarter ended January 2,
2021.
(1) A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a
non-GAAP financial measure, to a corresponding GAAP measure is not
available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts
due to the high variability and low visibility of certain income
and expense items that are excluded in calculating Adjusted
EBITDA.

Constant Currency Financial
Information
The 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.

Adjusted operating income (loss) and
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted operating income (loss) and Adjusted
EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted
operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before
impairment expense and restructuring expense. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as our net income (loss) before the impact of income tax
expense (benefit), plus interest expense, amortization and
depreciation, impairment expense, other non-cash charges,
stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring expense minus
interest income. We have included Adjusted operating income (loss)
and Adjusted EBITDA herein because they are widely used by
investors for valuation and for comparing our financial performance
with the performance of our competitors. We also use both non-GAAP
financial measures to monitor and compare the financial performance
of our operations. Our presentation of Adjusting operating income
(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures other companies report. Adjusted operating income
(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be used as
alternatives to any measure of our performance in accordance with
GAAP.
The following table reconciles Adjusted
operating income (loss) to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure, which is operating income (loss).
