Insights

The Movado Group's announcement detailing its fiscal 2024 performance presents a mixed picture of the company's financial health. The reported decrease in net sales by 10.5% and a significant drop in operating income from $120.4 million to $54.7 million year-over-year are indicative of the challenges faced in the retail sector, particularly in the context of the U.S. and European markets.

Investors should note the strategic decision to increase marketing investments, which Movado anticipates will constrain earnings in the short term. While this may raise concerns about immediate profitability, such investments could be a positive sign for long-term brand growth and market share expansion. The company's strong balance sheet, with $262.1 million in cash and no debt, provides the financial flexibility to support this strategy.

The dividend declaration is a testament to the company's commitment to shareholder returns, despite the downturn in profits. However, the decline in EPS from $4.12 to $2.06 year-over-year should be closely evaluated against industry performance and future earnings projections to assess the sustainability of such shareholder payouts.

From a market perspective, the Movado Group's performance reflects broader trends in the luxury goods sector, where brick-and-mortar retail struggles are increasingly evident. The decline in gross margin is attributed to a mix of channel and product shifts, currency exchange rates and fixed cost deleverage over lower sales volumes.

The company's commitment to a $25 million marketing spend for fiscal 2025 may be a strategic move to bolster sales in a competitive market. However, it's important to scrutinize whether these investments align with consumer behavior trends, especially as e-commerce continues to grow.

The anticipated flat sales in the first half of fiscal 2025 suggest a cautious outlook, likely influenced by the current economic climate and the lag effect of marketing investments. Stakeholders should monitor the effectiveness of these marketing initiatives in driving revenue growth, particularly in the second half of the fiscal year.

Examining Movado Group's strategy, the shift toward increased marketing spend signals an attempt to adapt to the evolving retail landscape. The company's performance, particularly the decline in sales across both U.S. and international markets, underscores the need for a robust strategy to navigate the challenges of reduced foot traffic and the shift towards online shopping.

The inventory reduction by 20.5% could be a strategic move to align with current demand and avoid overstocking, which can be a critical issue in the fashion and accessories market. A leaner inventory can also lead to improved cash flow management and reduced storage costs.

Investors should consider the potential impact of the planned growth strategy on the company's market position. While the short-term earnings pressure is clear, the long-term benefits hinge on the company's ability to execute its strategy effectively and adapt to market trends, such as digital transformation and consumer preferences for sustainable and ethically sourced products.

PARAMUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Movado Group, Inc. (NYSE: MOV) today announced fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 results for the periods ended January 31, 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

Delivered net sales of $672.6 million vs. $751.9 million in fiscal 2023;
Generated operating income of $54.7 million as compared to $120.4 million in the prior year period; Adjusted operating income of $56.8 million as compared to $123.2 million;
Achieved diluted earnings per share of $2.06 as compared to $4.12 in the prior year period; Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.13 as compared to $4.22;
Strong operating cashflow of $76.8 million, up 41.3% from fiscal 2023;
Inventories declined 20.5% to $148.0 million; and
Ended the year with cash of $262.1 million and no debt.

Efraim Grinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We ended the year with revenue and diluted earnings per share at the high end and above our revised outlook, respectively. Our holiday marketing initiatives and new product introductions in both watches and jewelry were favorably received despite a challenging retail backdrop in the U.S. and Europe. Early in the fourth quarter, we successfully tested marketing programs that will be continued and expanded upon in fiscal 2025 as their effectiveness is demonstrated.”

Mr. Grinberg continued, “The year included significant progress in evolving our strategy with important investments made in marketing and product innovation that we believe position us to leverage the strength of our compelling brand portfolio. As we begin fiscal 2025, we are focused on making the investments necessary to grow our business and build our brands for the long-term. As such, we will strategically increase our marketing investments, particularly in the U.S. behind our Movado brand and in our biggest markets in Europe to drive growth in our licensed brands with our retail partners. Although these investments are expected to constrain earnings in the short term, we are confident that this is the right time to invest behind the momentum in our portfolio of brands and utilize our strong balance sheet to gain market share and position Movado Group for sustained long-term growth in sales and profitability.”

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

Delivered net sales of $179.6 million versus $194.3 million in the prior year period;
Generated gross margin of 53.9% as compared to 56.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023;
Generated operating income of $13.5 million as compared to $26.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $13.8 million as compared to adjusted operating income of $26.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; and
Achieved diluted earnings per share of $0.53 as compared to $1.00 in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.55 as compared to $1.03 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Non-GAAP Items (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

Fourth quarter fiscal 2024 results of operations included the following charges:

a $0.4 million pre-tax charge, or $0.3 million after tax, representing $0.02 per diluted share, associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Olivia Burton and MVMT.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2023 results of operations included the following charges:

a $0.7 million pre-tax charge, or $0.6 million after tax, representing $0.03 per diluted share, associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the acquisition of Olivia Burton and MVMT.

In this press release, references to “adjusted” results exclude the impact of the above charges, as well as the items described in the Non-GAAP Items section of the Company’s earnings releases for the first, second and third quarter of fiscal year 2024, in deriving the adjusted results for the twelve months ended January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023. Please refer to the attached GAAP and Non-GAAP measures table for a detailed reconciliation of the Company’s reported results to its adjusted, Non-GAAP results.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company will no longer provide adjusted results that omit the amortization of acquired intangible assets for its Olivia Burton and MVMT acquisitions. The omission of this amortization was the only adjustment made to reported results to derive the Company’s Non-GAAP measures in fiscal 2024. The Company has provided a recast of its GAAP and Non-GAAP measures for the fourth quarter of 2024 and fiscal year 2024 to be consistent with the ongoing definition.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

Net sales decreased 7.5% to $179.6 million, or decreased 9.0% on a constant dollar basis, compared to $194.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in net sales reflected declines in wholesale customers’ brick and mortar stores, online retail and Movado Company Stores. U.S. net sales decreased 12.4% as compared to the fourth quarter of last year. International net sales decreased 2.9% (a decrease of 5.8% on a constant dollar basis) as compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
Gross profit was $96.8 million, or 53.9% of net sales, compared to $109.3 million, or 56.2% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of the decreased leverage of higher fixed costs over lower sales, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and unfavorable changes in channel and product mix.
Operating expenses were $83.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $83.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating expenses were $82.9 million compared to $82.4 million in the prior year period. The change in operating expenses was primarily due to higher marketing and payroll-related expenses, nearly fully offset by lower performance-based compensation. As a percent of sales, adjusted operating expenses increased to 46.2% of sales from 42.4% in the prior year period due to lower sales.
Operating income was $13.5 million compared to $26.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating income was $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and $26.8 million for the prior year period.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $2.7 million, as compared to a tax provision of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Based on adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision was $2.8 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 18.1%, as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $4.2 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 14.8%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $12.1 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22.7 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2024 period was $12.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $23.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Full Year Fiscal 2024 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

Net sales decreased 10.5% to $672.6 million, or decreased 11.7% on a constant dollar basis, compared to net sales of $751.9 million in fiscal 2023. The decrease in net sales reflected declines in wholesale customers’ brick and mortar stores, online retail and Movado Company Stores. U.S. net sales decreased 13.1% as compared to fiscal 2023. International net sales decreased 8.5% (a decrease of 10.6% on a constant dollar basis) as compared to fiscal 2023.
Gross profit was $370.4 million, or 55.1% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $433.9 million, or 57.7% of net sales in fiscal 2023. The year over year decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of unfavorable changes in channel and product mix, the decreased leverage of higher fixed costs over lower sales and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by reduced shipping costs.
Operating expenses were $315.7 million in fiscal 2024 compared to $313.5 million in fiscal 2023. For fiscal 2024, adjusted operating expenses were $313.6 million versus $310.7 million in fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related costs, higher marketing expenses and higher travel and entertainment costs, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.
Operating income was $54.7 million in fiscal 2024 as compared to operating income of $120.4 million in fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2024 was $56.8 million compared to adjusted operating income for fiscal 2023 of $123.2 million.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $12.7 million in fiscal 2024 compared to a tax provision of $24.9 million in fiscal 2023. Based on adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision was $13.2 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 21.1%, as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $25.4 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 20.4%, in fiscal 2023.
Net income was $46.7 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024, compared to net income of $94.5 million, or $4.12 per diluted share, for fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income in fiscal 2024 was $48.3 million or $2.13 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income for fiscal 2023 of $96.8 million or $4.22 per diluted share.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

The Company expects fiscal 2025 net sales to be in a range of approximately $700 million to $710 million, gross profit of approximately 55% of net sales, and operating income in a range of approximately $32 million to $35 million. Assuming no changes to current tax regulations, the Company anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 22% for the fiscal year and earnings in a range of approximately $1.20 to $1.30 per diluted share.

Operating expenses for the fiscal 2025 outlook include an incremental $25 million of marketing spend to drive long-term top-line growth; however, the majority of the growth in revenue is expected to be in the second half of the fiscal year as the marketing investments favorably impact the top line. The Company therefore expects net sales for the first half of fiscal 2025 to be relatively flat on a year-over-year basis.

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced today that on March 26, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the payment on April 23, 2024 of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.35 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 9, 2024.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 26,000 shares under its November 23, 2021 share repurchase program. As of January 31, 2024, the Company had $17.9 million remaining available under the share repurchase program.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and distributes MOVADO®, MVMT®, OLIVIA BURTON®, EBEL®, CONCORD®, CALVIN KLEIN®, COACH®, TOMMY HILFIGER®, HUGO BOSS®, and LACOSTE®, watches, and, to a lesser extent 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, adjusted operating income, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax provision and adjusted net income, which are gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, pre-tax income, tax provision and net income, respectively, under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT acquisitions. 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. 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. 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.
