Insights

The Q3 results and updated guidance reveal significant headwinds for Movado Group. Net sales declined 2.6% to $182.7 million, with operating income dropping substantially to $6.6 million from $20.7 million year-over-year. The company's profitability is under pressure due to tighter inventory management by retail partners and increased investment spending.

Key concerns include declining gross margins (down to 53.8% from 54.5%), higher operating expenses and reduced guidance to the lower end of previous ranges. However, there are some positive aspects: strong balance sheet with $181.5 million cash and no debt, new $50 million share buyback program and maintained quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share. The cost-savings initiative targeting $6.5 million in annual savings demonstrates management's commitment to improving profitability.

The outlook for FY2025 has been revised downward, with expected net sales of $665.0 million and EPS of $0.90, reflecting ongoing challenges in both U.S. and European markets.

The U.S. market shows particular weakness with a 7.1% decline in Q3 sales, while international sales barely grew at 0.4%. The company's digital channel shows promise with growth in online retail, but this hasn't been enough to offset wholesale weakness.

The announced cost-savings initiative, including headcount reduction, signals a strategic pivot toward efficiency and profitability improvement. Management's focus on jewelry and emerging markets as growth opportunities, combined with streamlined operations, suggests a realistic approach to current market challenges.

The maintained dividend and new share repurchase program demonstrate financial stability and commitment to shareholder returns, despite operational challenges. However, the higher effective tax rate of 31.5% vs. 20.4% last year adds another layer of pressure on bottom-line results.

PARAMUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Movado Group, Inc. (NYSE: MOV) today announced third quarter and nine-month results for the periods ended October 31, 2024.

Efraim Grinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continued to advance our strategy in the third quarter, unveiling a captivating Movado brand-building marketing campaign in September, launching iconic product families across our brand portfolio, and delivering solid growth in our digital channel, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet. Our financial results were held back due to tighter inventory management by our retail partners in the U.S. and Europe and our planned increase in investment spend to support future growth. While we now expect net sales and operating income at the lower end of our previous guidance range, we have taken steps to align our expense base with expected sales, making the difficult decision to reduce headcount as part of a cost-savings initiative. This is expected to generate approximately $6.5 million in annualized savings.”

“As we look ahead, our highest priority is to meaningfully improve profitability. We are finalizing plans for fiscal 2026 that focus on efficient brand-building initiatives, key growth opportunities such as jewelry and emerging markets, and a more streamlined expense base,” Mr. Grinberg continued. “We continue to enjoy a strong financial position, concluding the quarter with $181.5 million in cash and no debt, positioning us well to execute our strategic plans moving forward. We are confident in our ability to deliver sustained profitable growth and increased value for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

  • Net sales decreased 2.6% (a 3.5% decline on a constant-dollar basis) to $182.7 million compared to $187.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in net sales reflected unfavorable sales mix and decreased volumes from the Company’s wholesale customers, mainly in the United States, partially offset by an increase in online retail in the United States and the positive impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. U.S. net sales decreased 7.1% as compared to the third quarter of last year. International sales increased 0.4% as compared to the third quarter of last year.
  • Gross profit was $98.4 million, or 53.8% of net sales, compared to $102.3 million, or 54.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of the unfavorable impact of sales mix, the decreased leveraging of higher fixed costs as a result of lower sales, and a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
  • Operating expenses were $91.8 million compared to $81.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which excludes costs of $2.7 million related to the cost-savings initiative, were $89.1 million. The increase in operating expenses relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to higher marketing expenses and an increase in payroll-related expenses.
  • Operating income was $6.6 million compared to $20.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating income, which excludes costs of $2.7 million related to the cost-savings initiative, was $9.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
  • The Company recorded a tax provision of $2.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 31.5%, as compared to a tax provision of $4.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 20.4%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The adjusted tax provision was $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which excludes the impact of the cost-savings initiative as well as the tax impact of the repatriation of foreign earnings, primarily related to foreign currency gains. The adjusted tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was 18.4%.
  • Net income was $5.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $17.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2025 period was $8.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, which excludes the third quarter items listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section after the associated tax effects.

Nine Months Fiscal 2025 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

  • Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 decreased 2.9% to $478.7 million (a 3.2% decrease on a constant dollar basis) compared to $493.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in net sales reflected unfavorable sales mix and decreased volumes from the Company’s wholesale customers, mainly in the United States, partially offset by an increase in online retail in the United States and the positive impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. U.S. net sales decreased 4.5% as compared to the first nine months of last year. International net sales decreased 1.7% as compared to the first nine months of last year.
  • Gross profit was $260.3 million, or 54.4% of net sales, compared to $273.6 million, or 55.5% of net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of the unfavorable impact of sales mix, the decreased leveraging of higher fixed costs as a result of lower sales, and a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
  • Operating expenses were $247.4 million, as compared to $232.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, which excludes the costs of $2.7 million related to the cost-savings initiative, were $244.6 million. This increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher marketing expenses and an increase in payroll-related expenses.
  • Operating income was $12.9 million compared to operating income of $41.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating income, which excludes costs of $2.7 million related to the cost-savings initiative, was $15.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
  • The Company recorded a tax provision of $5.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 31.7%, as compared to a provision of $9.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.0%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The adjusted tax provision was $5.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, which excludes the impact of the cost-savings initiative as well as the tax impact of the repatriation of foreign earnings, primarily related to foreign currency gains. The adjusted tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 was 25.0%.
  • Net income was $11.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.6 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, in the first nine months of last year. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2025 period was $14.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, which excludes the items listed above in the Non-GAAP Items section after the associated tax effects.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

The Company is revising its previously provided outlook to reflect third-quarter results and the expected continuation of a challenging environment, including the impact of retailers continuing to tightly manage inventories in both the U.S. and Europe.

For Fiscal Year 2025, the Company currently expects:

  • Net sales of approximately $665.0 million, the low end of its previous expectation of a range of approximately $665.0 million to $675.0 million;
  • Gross profit of approximately 54% of net sales;
  • Operating income near $23.0 million, representing the low end of its previous expectation of $23.0 million to $26.0 million; this revised outlook contemplates approximately $18 million of incremental investments in brand-building initiatives as compared to last year;
  • An effective tax rate of approximately 25%; and
  • Earnings of $0.90 per diluted share, the low end of its previous expectation of $0.90 to $1.00 per diluted share.

The Company noted that its fiscal 2025 outlook excludes $2.7 million of costs, $2.2 million after-tax, related to its cost-savings initiative. This outlook does not contemplate further deterioration due to the impact of economic uncertainty and assumes no further significant fluctuations from prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.

As the Company prepares its plan for fiscal 2026, it is focused on delivering a meaningful improvement in profitability versus its expected outlook for fiscal 2025. This expectation includes the $6.5 million in annualized savings from its cost savings initiative as well as additional activities to garner efficiencies across its enterprise. The Company expects to share additional information about its fiscal 2026 guidance when it reports fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results.

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced today that on December 5, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the payment on December 30, 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 December 16, 2024.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 120,000 shares under its November 23, 2021, share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2024, the Company had $15.2 million remaining available under the share repurchase program which expired on November 23, 2024.

On December 5, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share buyback program under which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares. The authorization expires on December 5, 2027, subject to extension or earlier termination by the Board of Directors. The Company may purchase shares of its common stock, from time to time, 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.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and globally distributes and sells 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 operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax provision and adjusted net income, which are operating expenses, operating income, pre-tax income, tax provision and net income, respectively, under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the establishment of a provision associated with a cost-savings initiative and the impact of the repatriation of foreign earnings. 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. 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.
