RICHARDSON, Texas, March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2023. Separately, the Company also announced today that Kosta N. Kartsotis has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and Jeffrey N. Boyer, Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Interim CEO, effective immediately.

“During 2023, we made solid progress under our Transform and Grow (TAG) Plan, enabling us to exit the smartwatch category, close underperforming retail stores, manage down inventories, and capture $125 million of annualized cost savings, ” said Jeffrey Boyer, Interim Chief Executive Officer. “We entered 2024 with a leaner cost structure, healthier inventory levels and sufficient liquidity. Importantly, we remain on track with our TAG Plan and expect to achieve our previously announced target of $300 million of annualized operating income benefits by the end of 2025. Additionally, we are taking deliberate actions to improve our financial performance, strengthen our balance sheet, and conduct a strategic review of our current business model and capital structure with the goal of maximizing shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Operating Results

Amounts referred to as “adjusted” as well as “constant currency” are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their closest reported GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

• Net sales totaled $421.3 million, a decrease of 15.6% on a reported basis and 16.9% in constant currency compared to $499.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The sales decrease was largely driven by weakness in the wholesale channel, store rationalization initiatives and lower smartwatch sales, as we exit the category. Net sales, in constant currency, decreased 22% in Europe, 16% in Asia and 12% in the Americas versus the same quarter last year. Wholesale sales declined 19%, while our direct to consumer sales declined 14% on a constant currency basis. Within our direct to consumer channels, comparable retail sales declined 10%. In our major product categories, traditional watch sales declined 10% in constant currency in the fourth quarter with slight growth in the FOSSIL brand more than offset by declines in most other brands. The leathers category decreased 23% and jewelry sales declined 18% in constant currency during the fourth quarter. From a brand lens, net sales for the majority of the brands in our portfolio decreased in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  
  
• Gross profit totaled $200.5 million compared to $235.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross margin increased 40 basis points to 47.6% versus 47.2% a year ago. The year-over-year increase in gross margin primarily reflects reduced freight and inventory costs. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable product mix, driven by our exit from the smartwatch category, and minimum licensor product royalties.
  
  
• Operating expenses totaled $224.5 million compared to $234.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 53.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 46.9% in the prior year fourth quarter. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, which exclude restructuring and impairment, were $207.7 million compared to $232.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a reduction of 10.6%. The year-over-year decline in SG&A was largely driven by lower compensation costs related to initiatives in our TAG Plan. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 49.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 46.5% in the prior year fourth quarter, largely driven by deleveraging on lower sales.
  
  
• Operating loss was $24.0 million compared to income of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Operating margin was (5.7)% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 0.3% in the prior year fourth quarter. Adjusted operating loss totaled $8.5 million compared to adjusted operating income of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted operating margin was (2.0)% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 0.6% in the prior year fourth quarter.
  
  
• Interest expense was $5.7 million compared to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  
  
• Other income (expense) was income of $1.9 million compared to $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  
  
• Income (loss) before income taxes was $(27.8) million compared to $(4.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.6) million, or (0.4)% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $12.1 million, or 2.4% of net sales in the prior year period.
  
  
• Net loss totaled $28.2 million with loss per diluted share of $0.54, which compares to a net loss of $9.4 million and loss per diluted share of $0.18 in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $16.0 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.30 compared to adjusted net loss of $7.0 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.14 in the prior year period. During the fourth quarter of 2023, currencies favorably affected loss per diluted share by approximately $0.01.
  
  
• Cash flow from operating activities was $49 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $104 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  

 Full Year 2023 Operating Results

• Net sales totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of 16.0% on a reported basis and 15.9% in constant currency compared to $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2022. The sales decrease was largely driven by weakness in the wholesale channel. Declines in smartwatch sales and our store rationalization initiatives comprised approximately 5 points of our annual sales decline. Net sales, in constant currency, decreased in all regions with Europe decreasing 21%, Americas 14% and Asia 10% versus the prior year. Global sales into wholesale channels declined 21% in constant currency, while sales into our direct to consumer channels decreased 7%. Within our direct to consumer channels, comparable retail sales decreased 2%. In our major product categories, traditional watch sales decreased 12% in constant currency with flat year over year growth in FOSSIL brand offset by declines from other major brands. Net sales in leathers and jewelry decreased 11% and 15%, respectively, in constant currency. From a brand perspective, MICHAEL KORS, FOSSIL and EMPORIO ARMANI sales declined.
  
  
• Gross profit totaled $679.6 million compared to $830.7 million in fiscal year 2022. Gross margin decreased 130 basis points to 48.1% versus 49.4% a year ago. The gross margin decrease primarily reflects increased promotions and licensor minimum royalty costs and unfavorable currency and product mix impact, driven by our exit from the smartwatch category. These costs were partially offset by reduced freight expense.
  
  
• Operating expenses totaled $822.6 million compared to $832.2 million in 2022. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 58.2% compared to 49.5% in fiscal year 2022. SG&A expenses, which exclude restructuring and impairment, were $777.2 million compared to $823.7 million in fiscal year 2022, a reduction of 5.6% driven by lower operating costs, primarily from initiatives in our TAG Plan. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 55.0% compared to 49.0% in fiscal year 2022, mainly driven by deleveraging on lower sales.
  
  
• Operating income (loss) was a loss of $143.0 million compared to a loss of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2022. Operating margin was (10.1)% for fiscal year 2023 compared to (0.1)% in the prior year. Adjusted operating loss totaled $(92.0) million compared to income of $7.0 million in fiscal year 2022. Adjusted operating margin was (6.5)% for fiscal year 2023 compared to 0.4% in the prior year.
  

• Interest expense increased to $21.8 million compared to $19.2 million in fiscal year 2022, primarily driven by higher interest rates.
  
  
• Other income (expense) was income of $8.7 million, compared to expense of $1.4 million in fiscal year 2022.
  
  
• Income (loss) before income taxes was a loss of $156.1 million compared to loss of $22.1 million in the prior year.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA was $(62.6) million, or (4.4)% of net sales in fiscal year 2023 and $36.1 million, or 2.1% of net sales in the prior year.
  
  
• Net loss totaled $157.0 million with loss per diluted share of $3.00, which compares to net loss of $44.2 million and loss per diluted share of $0.85 in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss was $116.9 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $2.24 compared to adjusted net loss of $36.6 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.71 in the prior year period. During the fiscal year 2023, currencies unfavorably affected loss per diluted share by approximately $0.10.
  
  
• Cash used in operations was $59 million compared to $111 million used in the prior year.
  

Balance Sheet Summary

As of December 30, 2023, the Company had total liquidity of $181 million, including $117.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $64.0 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Inventories at year-end totaled $252.8 million, a decrease of 32.8% versus a year ago. Total debt as of December 30, 2023 was $207.5 million.

TAG Plan Update

The Company remains on track with its TAG Plan, which was announced in March 2023 and is designed to reduce operating expenses, improve operating margins and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The TAG Plan generated annualized operating income benefits of approximately $125 million in 2023 and is expected to generate additional annualized operating income benefits of at least $100 million in 2024. Restructuring costs associated with our TAG Plan are estimated to be $35 million in fiscal year 2024 compared to $49 million in fiscal year 2023.

Strategic Business Review

The Company today announced a strategic review of its current business model and capital structure.  This includes efforts to optimize its business model through additional changes to its operations, as well as further structural cost reductions, which are under consideration.  The Company anticipates this effort will expand on its current TAG Plan and could include additional debt and equity financing options, including monetization of various assets to strengthen its balance sheet. The Company has retained Evercore to act as its financial advisor.   

Outlook

The Company expects 2024 worldwide net sales to be approximately $1.2 billion, reflecting approximately $100 million of negative impact related to the exit of its smartwatch business, the closure of stores and prevailing currency rates, as well as expected category, consumer and channel softness. Fiscal year adjusted operating margin is expected to be in the range of -3% to -5%. The Company expects to generate positive free cash flow, inclusive of an anticipated tax refund of approximately $56 million, which is expected to be received in the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before the impact of income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense, amortization and depreciation, impairment expense, other non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt minus interest income. We define Adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense and restructuring expense. We define Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share as net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, before impairment expense, restructuring expense and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share herein because they are widely used by investors for valuation and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of our competitors. We also use both non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are not intended to be used as alternatives to any measure of our performance in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is income (loss) before income taxes. Certain line items presented in the table below, when aggregated, may not foot due to rounding.
