• Net sales increased 28.2% to $217.7 million as compared to $169.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales reflected growth in wholesale customers’ brick and mortar stores, in online retail (both in the Company’s owned and wholesale customers’ websites) and in Movado Company Stores. Net sales on a constant dollar basis increased 26.7% as compared to net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. U.S. net sales increased 41.7% as compared to the third quarter of last year and increased 8.3% as compared to pre-pandemic third quarter fiscal 2020.

Adjusted gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $92.5 million, or 54.5% of net sales, which excludes $0.1 million associated with corporate initiatives related to the impact on the business of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of favorable changes in channel and product mix and an increase in leverage of certain fixed costs as a result of higher sales, partially offset by increased shipping costs.
• Operating expenses increased $14.8 million to $84.2 million, as compared to $69.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the operating expense charges mentioned above in the Non-GAAP Items section, operating expenses were $83.4 million and $67.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. This increase was primarily due to higher marketing expenses and performance-based compensation and an increase in certain operating expenses to support the increase in net sales. Excluding the operating expense charges mentioned above in the Non-GAAP Items section, as a percent of sales, operating expenses decreased to 38.3% of sales from 39.7% in the prior year period primarily due to improved sales leverage.
• Operating income was $41.4 million compared to operating income of $23.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted operating income, which excludes the charges listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section, was $42.2 million and $25.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively.
• The Company recorded a tax provision of $9.6 million, as compared to $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Based upon adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision was $9.7 million or an adjusted tax rate of 23.1% as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $8.0 million or an adjusted tax rate of 32.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
• Net income was $31.4 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $14.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $32.1 million or $1.36 per diluted share, which excludes the third quarter fiscal 2022 net charges listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section after the associated tax effects. This compares to adjusted net income for the fiscal 2021 period of $16.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, which excludes the third quarter fiscal 2021 net charges listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section after the associated tax effects.

Nine Month Results Fiscal 2022 (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

• Net sales increased 60.5% to $526.4 million as compared to $328.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales reflected growth in wholesale customers’ brick and mortar stores and in Movado Company Stores due to the partial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and in online retail (both in the Company’s owned and wholesale customers’ websites). Net sales on a constant dollar basis increased 56.8% as compared to net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. U.S. net sales increased 89.6% as compared to the first nine months of last year and increased 15.4% as compared to pre-pandemic first nine months of fiscal 2020.

Adjusted gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $173.3 million, or 52.8% of net sales, which excludes $3.6 million in corporate initiative charges related to the impact on the business of the COVID-19 pandemic. The year over year increase in adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily the result of favorable changes in channel and product mix, leveraging certain fixed costs as a result of higher sales and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
• Operating expenses were $218.9 million as compared to $337.7 million in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, operating expenses would have been $216.4 million excluding $2.2 million of expenses associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to Olivia Burton and $0.3 million in adjustments associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation related to the MVMT acquisition.

The underlying increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher marketing expenses and performance-based compensation and an increase in certain operating expenses to support the increase in net sales. Excluding the aforementioned impairments, corporate initiative charges, and impacts of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation related to the MVMT and Olivia Burton acquisitions, as a percent of sales, operating expenses decreased to 41.1% of sales from 50.7% in the prior year period primarily due to improved sales leverage.
• Operating income was $79.3 million as compared to operating loss of $168.0 million in the same period last year. Adjusted operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $81.8 million, which excludes the fiscal 2022 charges listed in the immediately preceding bullet. This compares to adjusted operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 of $6.9 million, which excludes the fiscal 2021 charges listed in the immediately preceding bullet.
• The Company recorded a tax provision in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 of $18.2 million as compared to a benefit of $26.4 million in the first nine months of last year. The first nine months of fiscal 2022 included a benefit of $0.5 million primarily associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to Olivia Burton and MVMT. The first nine months of fiscal 2021 included a benefit of $0.4 million associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to Olivia Burton, a $0.6 million benefit related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation related to MVMT, a $4.7 million benefit related to corporate initiatives taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a $24.9 million benefit related to the tax deductible portion of the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets, partially offset by a $0.5 million provision for tax associated with the sale of a non-operating asset in Switzerland.
• Net income was $60.2 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, as compared to net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 of $141.8 million, or a loss of $6.11 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $62.2 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, which excludes the fiscal 2022 charges listed above after the associated tax effects, as described in the immediately preceding bullet. This compares to adjusted net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 of $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, which excludes the fiscal 2021 charges listed above after the associated tax effects, as described in the immediately preceding bullets.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

The Company is increasing its outlook and currently expects fiscal 2022 net sales in a range of approximately $715 million to $720 million, gross profit of approximately 56.5% to 57.0% of net sales, operating profit in a range of 15.0% to 15.5% of net sales and diluted earnings per share of approximately $3.35 to $3.45. Assuming no changes to the current tax rules, the Company anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 25% for the fiscal year. The outlook excludes approximately $3.3 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation for fiscal 2022 related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT brands. This updated outlook does not contemplate significant additional COVID-19 related retail closures which can adversely impact results. The Company's outlook assumes no further significant fluctuations from prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company announced today that the Board of Directors approved a 25% increase to the regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.25 per share from $0.20 per share. A $0.25 dividend will be paid on December 17, 2021 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 December 3, 2021.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a new share buyback program under which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock 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 November 23, 2024, subject to extension or earlier termination by the Board of Directors.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and distributes MOVADO®, MVMT®, OLIVIA BURTON®, EBEL®, CONCORD®, COACH®, TOMMY HILFIGER®, HUGO BOSS®, LACOSTE®, and SCUDERIA FERRARI® watches worldwide, 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 and the gain on the sale of a non-operating asset. 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 and the gain on the sale of a non-operating asset. 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.
