Efraim Grinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We managed our business well throughout the year, driving Movado Group to a record year for net sales and operating income with expansion in gross profit margin, as compared to fiscal 2022. We achieved this while generating fourth quarter results that, as expected, moderated from the fourth quarter of the prior year. These results follow a record performance in fiscal 2022 and reflect the power of our global portfolio of brands and the disciplined execution of our strategy by our organization. I am extremely proud of our teams for their contributions in the current operating environment.”

Mr. Grinberg continued, “As we look ahead, we believe we will continue to face a difficult retail market in our largest regions, the U.S. and Europe. We have a strong portfolio of brands that we will continue to support with strong product innovation and marketing programs. While we continue to maintain a disciplined approach to managing expenses and inventory levels, we will make the marketing investments behind our biggest brands to ensure that we emerge from the current environment in the strongest position and lay a solid foundation for future growth. Our strong balance sheet, with over $251 million in cash and no debt, allows us to navigate through this period of uncertainty while continuing to invest behind our brands, our teams and our customers. We are pleased that our Board of Directors approved a special dividend of $1.00 per share, in addition to our regular quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share, demonstrating confidence in the future performance of our business and returning value to our shareholders.”

In this press release, references to “adjusted” results exclude the impact of the above charges and benefits, 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 2023, in deriving the adjusted results for the twelve months ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022. 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.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

• Net sales decreased 5.7% to $194.3 million, or decreased 2.8% on a constant dollar basis, compared to $206.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in net sales reflected a decline in wholesale sales, partially offset by an increase in Movado Company stores. U.S. net sales decreased 6.3% as compared to the fourth quarter of last year. International net sales decreased 5.0% as compared to the fourth quarter of last year and increased 0.6% on a constant dollar basis as compared to the prior year period.
• Gross profit was $109.3 million, or 56.2% of net sales, compared to $120.8 million, or 58.7% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of the unfavorable changes in channel and product mix and unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
• Operating expenses increased to $83.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 from $82.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating expenses were $82.4 million compared to $82.9 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower performance-based compensation, partially offset by higher payroll-related expenses and higher marketing expenses. As a percent of sales, adjusted operating expenses increased to 42.4% of sales from 40.3% in the prior year period due to lower sales.
• Operating income was $26.1 million compared to $38.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating income was $26.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $37.9 million for the prior year period.
• The Company recorded a tax provision of $4.0 million, as compared to a tax provision of $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Based upon adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision was $4.2 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 14.8%, as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $6.5 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 17.1%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
• Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $22.7 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to net income of $31.4 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2023 period was $23.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $31.2 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Full Year Fiscal 2023 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

• Net sales increased 2.7% to $751.9 million, or increased 7.0% on a constant dollar basis, compared to net sales of $732.4 million in fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales reflected growth in the International wholesale business and Movado Company Stores. U.S. net sales decreased 3.5% compared to last year. International net sales increased 8.2% as compared to last year and increased 16.4% on a constant currency basis.
• Gross profit was $433.9 million, or 57.7% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $419.1 million, or 57.2% of net sales, in fiscal 2022. The year over year increase in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of favorable changes in channel and product mix, partially offset by unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and increased shipping costs.
• Operating expenses were $313.5 million in fiscal 2023 compared to $301.6 million in fiscal 2022. For fiscal 2023, adjusted operating expenses were $310.7 million versus $299.4 million in fiscal 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related costs, higher marketing expenses and certain other operating expenses to support the increase in net sales, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.
• Operating income was $120.4 million in fiscal 2023 as compared to operating income of $117.5 million in fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2023 was $123.2 million compared to adjusted operating income for fiscal 2022 of $119.7 million.
• The tax provision was $24.9 million in fiscal 2023 compared to a tax provision of $24.8 million in fiscal 2022. Based upon adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision was $25.4 million, or an adjusted effective tax rate of 20.4% in fiscal 2023, as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $25.2 million, or an adjusted effective tax rate of 21.1% in fiscal 2022.
• Net income was $94.5 million, or $4.12 per diluted share, for fiscal 2023, compared to net income of $91.6 million, or $3.87 per diluted share, for fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income in fiscal 2023 was $96.8 million or $4.22 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income for fiscal 2022 of $93.4 million or $3.94 per diluted share.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

The Company expects fiscal 2024 net sales to be in a range of approximately $725.0 million to $750.0 million, gross profit of approximately 56.0% of net sales, and operating income in a range of $80.0 million to $85.0 million. Assuming no changes to the current tax regulations, the Company anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 22% for the fiscal year and earnings of $2.70 to $2.90 per diluted share. The outlook excludes approximately $2.1 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets for fiscal 2024 related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT brands. For the first half of fiscal 2024, the Company expects sales to decline in a range of 9% to 12% relative to the prior-year period as it anniversaries the record first half results of fiscal 2023. 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.

Special Dividend, Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced today that on March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the payment on April 19, 2023 of a special cash dividend in the amount of $1.00 per share as well as the regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.35 per share. Both dividends are payable on 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 5, 2023.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 103,500 shares under its November 23, 2021 share repurchase program. As of January 31, 2023, the Company had $21.0 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 and corporate initiatives. 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 and corporate initiatives. 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 and corporate initiatives. 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.
