Rhea-AI Summary

Guess? (GES) reported Q3 fiscal 2025 results with revenues increasing 13% to $739 million. The company experienced a GAAP loss per share of $0.47 and adjusted EPS of $0.34.

Based on recent trends, Guess lowered its full fiscal year 2025 outlook, now expecting revenue increase between 7.1% and 8.1% in U.S. dollars, with adjusted EPS between $1.85 and $2.00.

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 FY2025 results show concerning trends for GES. While revenue increased 13% to $739 million, this growth was primarily driven by the rag & bone acquisition rather than organic growth. The company reported a GAAP loss of $0.47 per share and adjusted EPS of $0.34, down 31% from last year.

Key concerns include:

• Negative comparable sales in Americas Retail (-14%) and Asia (-17%)
• Operating margin declined to 5.7% from 8.4%
• Lowered full-year guidance with revenue now expected at or below $3 billion
• Persistent slow customer traffic in North America and Asia

The company's performance and outlook suggest continued challenges in key markets, with margin pressure from higher expenses and unfavorable channel mix. The lowered guidance indicates management expects these headwinds to persist through Q4.

Market Research Analyst

The retail environment analysis reveals significant regional disparities. Europe remains resilient with 8% comparable sales growth, while North America and Asia face substantial headwinds. The integration of rag & bone masks underlying weakness in core operations.

Consumer behavior trends show:

• Declining store traffic in key markets
• Pressure on margins from increased promotional activity
• Shift in channel mix affecting profitability
• Weakening consumer sentiment impacting discretionary spending

The company's strategic initiatives, including increased marketing and new product introductions, haven't sufficiently offset these challenges. The divergence between European and other markets' performance suggests region-specific challenges rather than brand-wide issues.

Lowers Full Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook:

Expects GAAP and Adjusted Operating Margins between 6.1% and 6.4% and 6.2% and 6.5%, Respectively

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Guess?, Inc. (NYSE: GES) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended November 2, 2024.

Carlos Alberini, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the third quarter we delivered revenue growth of 13%. This increase was primarily driven by the rag & bone acquisition coupled with modest growth of our core Guess businesses. All of our operating segments posted revenue growth, except for our Licensing segment, which was impacted by the internalization of our outerwear business and delivered flat revenues. Our business in Europe was strong while North America and Asia experienced a more challenging environment impacted by slow customer traffic into our direct-to-consumer channels. During the period we managed margins and expenses well, delivering earnings from operations near the top of our expectations.”

Paul Marciano, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, commented, “This year we have made significant investments for Guess in new product introductions and increased marketing campaigns, and the customers have responded well. We have also invested in developing our new rag & bone and Guess Jeans brands, adding distribution capacity for both domestically and internationally. Our focus is to create strong brand awareness and increase customer engagement while offering amazing products and a great customer experience. I am excited about our collection this season and believe we are well positioned for this important time of the year.”

Mr. Alberini concluded, “Based on our recent trends and other external factors impacting our business including currencies, freight costs and taxes, we are revising our fourth quarter outlook for revenues and earnings. We believe that the current consumer sentiment and slow customer traffic in North America and Asia will persist during the fourth quarter, impacting our business negatively. As a result, for the full year we now expect revenues at or slightly below $3 billion. As we look into next year, we remain focused on the evolution of our vision for growth. We have a powerful platform and a strong team that continues to adapt to our new model to create significant value for our shareholders over the long term.”

• Operating margin for the Company’s Europe segment decreased 1.5% to 8.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, from 10.3% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by higher expenses and the impact of newly acquired businesses, partially offset by lower markdowns and the favorable impact of higher revenues.

• Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Retail segment decreased 9.6% to negative 4.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, from 5.3% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from negative retail comparable sales, higher expenses and the impact of higher markdowns.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. In March 2024, the Company issued approximately $12.1 million principal amount of additional convertible senior notes due April 2028 (together with the additional convertible senior notes issued in January 2024, the “Additional 2028 Notes”) in exchange for approximately $14.6 million of its outstanding convertible senior notes due April 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The Additional 2028 Notes have the same terms, constitute a single series with, and have the same CUSIP number as the other outstanding convertible senior notes due April 2028 (together with the Additional 2028 Notes, the “2028 Notes”; collectively with the 2024 Notes, the “Notes”). Immediately following the closing of this transaction, approximately $33.5 million of the 2024 Notes remained outstanding, all of which were settled upon maturity during April 2024.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 was $49.9 million compared to $18.2 million in the same prior-year period. The change was primarily due to the fair value remeasurement of derivatives related to the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2028 and the related convertible note hedge resulting in a net unrealized loss of $41.8 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2024, partially offset by net unrealized gains on the Company’s SERP-related assets, compared to net unrealized losses in the same prior-year period, and lower net unrealized and realized losses from foreign currency exposures.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

The financial information presented in this release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted results and outlook, constant currency financial information and free cash flows. The adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, transaction costs in connection with the Company’s acquisition of rag & bone, separation charges related to the transition of the operations of the Company’s U.S. distribution center, gain on the sale of the U.S. distribution center and settlement of the related interest rate swap, asset impairment charges, net (gains) losses on lease modifications, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash amortization of debt discount of the Company’s convertible senior notes, fair value remeasurement of derivatives related to the 2028 Notes and the related convertible note hedge, the related income tax effects of the foregoing items and the impact from certain discrete income tax adjustments related primarily to the consolidation of certain business functions into Switzerland and, to a lesser extent, the impact from changes in the income tax law in certain tax jurisdictions, in each case where applicable. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for adjusted diluted EPS excludes the dilutive impact of the Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place. These non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company’s reported GAAP results and outlook.

The Company has excluded these items from its adjusted financial measures primarily because it believes these items are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business and the adjusted financial information provided is useful for investors to evaluate the comparability of the Company’s operating results and its future outlook (when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements and GAAP future outlook). A reconciliation of reported GAAP results and outlook to comparable non-GAAP results and outlook is provided in the accompanying tables.

This release includes certain constant currency financial information. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amount reported from translating the Company’s foreign revenue, expenses and balance sheet amounts into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results under GAAP. The Company provides constant currency information to enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate net revenue and earnings (loss) from operations on a constant currency basis, actual or forecasted results for the current-year period are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. However, in calculating the estimated impact of currency on our earnings (loss) per share for our actual or forecasted results, the Company estimates gross margin (including the impact of merchandise-related hedges) and expenses using the appropriate prior-year rates, translates the estimated foreign earnings at the comparable prior-year rates, and considers the year-over-year earnings impact of gains or losses arising from balance sheet remeasurement and foreign currency contracts not designated as merchandise hedges. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company includes information regarding its free cash flows in this release. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flows from operating activities less (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flows are not intended to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, but rather to provide additional visibility to investors regarding how much cash is generated for discretionary and non-discretionary items after deducting purchases of property and equipment and payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flow information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of reported and expected GAAP cash flows from operating activities to the comparable non-GAAP free cash flow measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

Footnotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Data
Footnote:
1		The Company’s outlook for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025 assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain at recently prevailing rates.
2		Amounts for the full fiscal 2025 outlook exclude the following items: (i) certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs which the Company otherwise would not have incurred as part of its business operations, (ii) transaction costs in connection with the rag & bone acquisition, (iii) separation charges related to the transition of the operation of the Company’s U.S. distribution center, (iv) asset impairment charges related primarily to impairment of property and equipment related to certain retail locations resulting from underperformance and expected store closures, (v) net gains on lease modifications related primarily to the early termination of certain lease agreements, (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt related to the 2024 Notes, (vii) fair value remeasurement of derivatives associated with the 2028 Notes (viii) gain on the sale of assets related to the U.S. distribution center and the settlement of the related interest rate swap and (ix) discrete income tax adjustments. See the heading “Presentation of Non-GAAP Information” for further information. The Company is unable to predict future amounts with respect to these items, as such amounts are inconsistent in magnitude and frequency and certain elements used to estimate such items have not yet occurred or are out of the Company’s control. As such, the Company has not considered any future charges or credits with respect to these items in the accompanying GAAP outlook.
3		Amounts for the fourth quarter and full fiscal 2025 outlook exclude (i) the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2028 Notes and (ii) the dilutive impact of the Notes for adjusted diluted shares and corresponding interest expenses at initial stock prices below $46.88 for the 2024 Notes and $41.80 for the 2028 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution. The Company excludes the impact anticipated to be recorded and the diluted impact anticipated in those periods as such amounts are reasonably estimated. The Company has not assumed any potential share dilution due to the related warrants.
