To that end, throughout fiscal 2021, we managed with discipline while continuing to invest behind our organization and brands in support of our future growth. Notably, powerful innovation across our brands and actions to accelerate our digital center of excellence fueled strong results for our company-owned and third party ecommerce sites including robust second half sales growth at Movado.com.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

• Net sales decreased 6.6% to $178.3 million compared to $191.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Net sales on a constant dollar basis decreased 9.1% compared to net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
• Gross profit was $100.8 million, or 56.5% of net sales, compared to $100.6 million, or 52.7% of net sales in the same period last year. Adjusted gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which excludes a $2.8 million change in estimate associated with corporate initiative charges recorded primarily in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, was $98.0 million, or 54.9% of net sales. The increase in adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily the result of favorable changes in channel and product mix and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
• Operating expenses decreased to $74.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $94.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $74.1 million compared to adjusted operating expenses of $92.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, both of which exclude the operating expense charges mentioned above in the Non-GAAP Items section for their respective periods. The decrease in adjusted operating expenses was primarily due to the Company’s initiative to minimize all operating expenses, including non-essential operating expenses, such as certain marketing, selling and payroll related expenses.
• Operating income was $25.9 million compared to operating income of $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted operating income, which excludes the items listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section, was $23.9 million and $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively.
• The Company recorded a tax benefit of $4.8 million, as compared to a tax provision of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

The decrease in the adjusted tax rate is due to the impact of the U.S. tax on GILTI as a result of the mix of jurisdictional earnings.
• Net income was $30.3 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2021 period was $19.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, both of which exclude the fourth quarter items listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section after the associated tax effects for their respective periods.

Adjusted gross profit for fiscal 2020 was $375.0 million, or 53.5% of net sales, which excludes $0.1 million in amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MVMT acquisition.

For fiscal 2021, adjusted operating expenses were $240.5 million, which excludes $155.9 million in adjustments related to the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets, $11.9 million in corporate initiative charges related to the impact to the business from the COVID-19 pandemic, $2.7 million of expenses associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to Olivia Burton and $1.6 million in adjustments associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation related to the MVMT acquisition. For fiscal 2020, adjusted operating expenses were $325.0 million, which excludes $4.4 million in expenses related to the amortization of MVMT’s intangible assets and deferred compensation arrangements and $2.8 million of amortization related to the acquisition of Olivia Burton, partially offset by a $0.3 million change in estimate related to the Company’s cost savings initiatives. The decrease in adjusted operating expenses was primarily due to the Company’s initiative to minimize all operating expense, including non-essential operating expenses, such as certain marketing, selling and payroll related expenses.
• Operating loss was $142.1 million as compared to operating income of $43.0 million last year. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2021 was $30.7 million, compared to adjusted operating income of $50.0 million for fiscal 2020, both of which exclude the net charges listed in the preceding bullets for their respective periods.

• Net loss was $111.5 million, or ($4.80) per diluted share, for fiscal 2021 compared to net income of $42.7 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, for the prior year.

  This compares to adjusted net income in fiscal 2020 of $36.5 million or $1.57 per diluted share, which excludes $3.5 million in expenses related to the amortization of MVMT’s intangible assets and deferred compensation arrangements and certain accounting adjustments, net of tax, and $2.3 million of amortization related to the acquisition of Olivia Burton, net of tax, offset by a a gain of $11.7 million associated with the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability associated with the MVMT acquisition, net of tax, and $0.2 million change in estimate related to the Company’s cost savings initiatives, net of tax.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 crisis, the Company is not providing annual fiscal 2022 outlook at this time. However, given visibility into near term performance, the Company is providing certain expectations for its first quarter of fiscal 2022. With this in mind, the Company currently expects first quarter fiscal 2022 net sales in a range of approximately $110 million to $115 million compared to net sales of $69.7 million in the fiscal 2021 first quarter and to be slightly profitable on an operating basis.

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced that on March 25, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the payment on April 21, 2021 of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 for each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock and class A common stock held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 7, 2021.

On March 25, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share buyback program under which the Company may purchase up to $25 million of its outstanding common shares from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including market and industry conditions, share price, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company. The authorization expires on September 30, 2022, subject to extension or earlier termination by the Board of Directors. The Company may purchase shares of its common stock in open-market and/or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and repurchases may be executed pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

The dividend and share buyback program announced today are consistent with the terms of the Company’s $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility after giving effect to the termination today of the previously-announced “Suspension Period” under that facility. During the Suspension Period, which commenced on April 30, 2020 in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial maintenance covenants in the Credit Agreement were temporarily relaxed while certain other covenants, including covenants related to dividends, share repurchases, debt incurrence, investments and capital expenditures, were temporarily tightened. The Suspension Period has ended today as a result of the Company’s achievement of certain financial milestones as of and for the periods ended January 31, 2021.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and globally distributes MOVADO®, MVMT®, OLIVIA BURTON®, EBEL®, CONCORD®, COACH®, TOMMY HILFIGER®, HUGO BOSS®, LACOSTE® and SCUDERIA FERRARI® watches, and for certain of these brands, jewelry and other accessories, and operates Movado Company Stores in the United States and Canada.

In this release, the Company presents certain financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, the Company is presenting adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating income, which are gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses and operating income, respectively, under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT acquisitions, corporate initiatives and the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets. The Company is also presenting adjusted tax provision, which is the tax provision under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the impact of charges for the Olivia Burton and MVMT acquisitions, corporate initiatives, the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets, the gain on sale of a non-operating asset and the CARES Act. The Company believes these adjusted measures are useful because they give investors information about the Company’s financial performance without the effect of certain items that the Company believes are not characteristic of its usual operations. The Company is also presenting adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate, which are net income, earnings per share and effective tax rate, respectively, under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the after-tax impact of amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT acquisitions, corporate initiatives, the impairment of goodwill and certain intangibles, the gain on sale of a non-operating asset and the CARES Act. The Company believes that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate are useful measures of performance because they give investors information about the Company’s financial performance without the effect of certain items that the Company believes are not characteristic of its usual operations. Additionally, the Company is presenting constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the current period. Comparisons of financial results on a constant dollar basis are calculated by translating each foreign currency at the same U.S. dollar exchange rate as in effect for the prior-year period for both periods being compared. The Company believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, and the methods of their calculation may differ substantially from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
