Also on December 11, 2014, the Company posted to its investor relations website supplemental quarterly and annual financial information for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 reflecting: (a) the impact on the Company’s reported fiscal 2014 net revenues (i) of October 2014 average foreign currency exchange rates, and (ii) from removing wholesale net revenues associated with product categories that have since been licensed to third parties; and (b) the Company’s results of operations from continuing operations excluding the Company’s Surfdome business as though it was a discontinued operation for all periods presented. The financial information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP or other pro forma measures used by other companies.

Quiksilver Reports Fiscal 2014 Fourth-Quarter, Full-Year Financial Results

—Company Provides Outlook for Fiscal 2015—

Huntington Beach, California, December 11, 2014—Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced financial results for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and full year ended October 31, 2014.

“We have successfully completed the organizational restructuring of the company, with every employee now singularly focused on execution,” said Andy Mooney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quiksilver, Inc. “Despite a challenging year, we significantly reduced costs and inventory levels, and are excited about our 2015 product offerings. Retail response to our Spring ‘15 product lines across all brands has been encouraging, with feedback on Fall ’15 even more positive. Along with more than $160 million of liquidity at year end, we have a strong foundation in place and anticipate revenue stabilization and significant pro-forma adjusted EBITDA growth in the coming year.”

As recently announced, the Company has reached a definitive agreement to sell its majority ownership interest in Surfdome for net proceeds of approximately $16 million. As a result, the Company has reclassified the current and prior year operating results of Surfdome, along with its previously divested Mervin and Hawk businesses, as discontinued operations. All of the results presented below represent the Company’s continuing operations.

Please refer to the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of GAAP results from continuing operations to certain non-GAAP results from continuing operations, including adjusted EBITDA and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA; a definition of the Company’s emerging markets; and changes in net revenue on a constant currency continuing category basis, which adjusts prior period net revenues for changes in currency exchange rates and excludes prior period wholesale net revenues for product categories now licensed, as well as removes current period licensing net revenues for the same licensed product categories, in order to provide comparability of net revenues between periods.

Fourth Quarter Review:

The following comparisons refer to results of continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net revenues, as reported, were $401 million compared with $476 million. Net revenues were down 11%, or $50 million, on a constant currency continuing category basis.

 

    Americas net revenues, as reported, were $172 million compared with $223 million. Americas net revenues were down 18%, or $37 million, on constant currency continuing category basis.

Gross margin increased to 48.6% from 48.2%. The increase was primarily driven by the sales mix shift into higher gross margin direct to consumer channels and regional segments.

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. before (i) interest expense, (ii) (benefit)/provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense and (v) non-cash asset impairments. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding restructuring and other special charges (including, but not limited to, reserves and other charges associated with restructuring activities, non-operating charges for gains and losses on lease exit activities, as well as severance and other employee termination costs as a result of downsizing and reorganization). Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as measures of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other special charges. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to EBITDA provide further clarity on our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and the expected life of the equity instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash payments by us. We remove the effect of asset impairments from Adjusted EBITDA for the same reason that we remove depreciation and amortization as it is part of the non-cash impact of our asset base. We also remove from Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain reserves and charges associated with restructuring activities, non-operating charges for gains and losses on lease exit activities, as well as severance and other employee termination costs as these costs are not typically part of normal, day-to-day operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as profitability measures in that they do not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the effect of asset impairments and the effect of restructuring and other special charges.

Definition of Emerging Markets:

Quiksilver, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

CONSTANT CURRENCY CONTINUING CATEGORY NET REVENUE RECONCILIATION

We make reference to net revenues on a “constant currency continuing category” basis in order to provide additional comparable information with regard to changes in net revenues. Constant currency continuing category reporting provides valuable comparisons of net revenues as it adjusts for the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and for the impact on our wholesale channel of transitioning certain product categories to a third-party licensing model. Constant currency is calculated by taking the average foreign currency exchange rate for the current period and applying that same rate to the comparable prior year period. Continuing category impacts are determined by removing the comparable prior period net revenues generated from product categories which are now licensed as well as removing current period licensing net revenues generated from those same licensed product categories.

The following table presents net revenues from continuing operations by segment, brand, channel and product group on both an as reported basis and a comparable constant currency continuing category basis for the fourth quarters ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Notes:

 

1.

   All licensing impact calculations are based on the fiscal 2014 wholesale net revenues generated from product categories that have been licensed as of December 1, 2014, and assuming that the timing of all product transitions with our licensing partners occurs as currently expected. All amounts are subject to change for any additional licensing activities subsequent to December 1, 2014.

2.

   Net revenues denominated in foreign currencies are translated herein at October 2014 average exchange rates. Actual constant currency impacts for comparisons with fiscal 2015 quarterly results will be determined at each quarter’s applicable average exchange rates.
