PARAMUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2017-- Movado Group, Inc. (NYSE:MOV) today announced third quarter results for the period ended October 31, 2017.

  • Net sales increased 6.0% to $190.7 million, or 5.4% on a constant dollar basis
  • Operating income of $25.2 million; Adjusted operating income of $33.6 million versus operating income of $31.1 million in the prior year period
  • Diluted EPS of $0.75; Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.04 compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $0.91 in prior year period

Efraim Grinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our powerful portfolio of brands combined with the strength of our innovation pipeline and solid execution of our strategies by our team led to a productive quarter, highlighted by increased sales and growth in adjusted diluted EPS. This performance was delivered even as the U.S. retail environment remains challenged. International sales growth led our performance with particular strength in Europe, Latin America, China and the Middle East. We were very pleased by the initial performance of our newest brand to our portfolio, Olivia Burton. The investments we have and continue to make in digital have elevated our brands with retailers and consumers alike and this, along with the changing retail landscape and the growing importance of online channels, has led us to make the decision to no longer exhibit at the Baselworld fair. While this has resulted in a charge in the third quarter, we believe the move is the right choice for our Company as it will yield annual expense savings in future years that we will reinvest in demand creation and marketing efforts to further drive sales.”

Mr. Grinberg continued, “We believe we are well positioned as we enter the final quarter of the year. Our strong product innovation and marketing programs will allow us to capitalize on the holiday season. We have a strong balance sheet with $155.5 million of cash, affording us the ability to continue to reinvest in our business while returning value to shareholders. As a result of our performance year-to-date, we are increasing our outlook, excluding one-time charges.”

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a $1.4 million pre-tax charge, with a related tax benefit of $0.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and a $7.0 million pre-tax charge, with a related tax benefit of $1.2 million or $0.24 per diluted share, associated with the Company’s cost savings initiatives. The $7.0 million charge for cost savings initiatives is comprised of $6.3 million related to the Company’s decision to no longer exhibit at Baselworld and the remainder is primarily due to the reduction of leased space in the Company’s Swiss operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a $4.5 million pre-tax charge, with a related tax benefit of $0.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and a $0.1 million pre-tax charge related to the cost savings initiatives. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a $6.3 million pre-tax charge, with a related tax benefit of $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, related to its cost savings initiatives.

In the prior year period, during the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge to non-operating expense of $1.3 million, with a related tax benefit of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for an impairment of a long-term investment in a privately held company. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $1.8 million pre-tax charge, with a related tax benefit of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the immediate vesting of stock awards and certain other compensation related to the announcement of the retirement of the Company’s former Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, in fiscal 2017 (“COO’s retirement”).

Third Quarter Fiscal 2018 (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

  • Net sales increased 6.0% to $190.7 million compared to $179.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Net sales on a constant dollar basis increased 5.4% compared to net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • Gross profit was $104.1 million, or 54.6% of sales, compared to $98.6 million, or 54.8% of sales, in the third quarter last year. Adjusted gross profit was $104.7 million, or 54.9% of sales, which primarily excludes $0.6 million of amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton brand. The increase in adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily the result of a reduction of certain fixed costs due to the cost savings initiatives and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by channel and product mix.
  • Operating expenses increased $11.4 million to $78.9 million compared to $67.5 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were $71.1 million which excludes $0.8 million of expenses and amortization related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and $7.0 million of expenses related to the cost savings initiatives. The increase in adjusted operating expenses was primarily the result of higher performance-based compensation of $1.5 million, higher distribution costs of $1.3 million, higher marketing expenses of $1.2 million and other selling and other operating costs, offset by a decrease in compensation and benefit expenses primarily related to the Company’s cost savings initiatives.
  • Operating income was $25.2 million compared to operating income of $31.1 million in the same period last year. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $33.6 million which excludes $1.4 million of expenses and amortization related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and $7.0 million of expenses related to the cost savings initiatives.
  • The Company recorded a tax provision of $7.5 million, which equates to an effective tax rate of 30.1%, as compared to a tax provision of $9.3 million or an effective tax rate 31.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded an adjusted tax provision of $9.0 million or an adjusted tax rate of 27.1%, as compared to an adjusted tax provision of $9.7 million or adjusted tax rate of 31.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • Net income was $17.4 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.2 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, adjusted net income was $24.3 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, which excludes $1.1 million of expenses and amortization, net of $0.3 million of tax, related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand, and $5.8 million associated with the cost savings initiatives, net of $1.2 million of tax. For the third quarter of fiscal 2017, adjusted net income was $21.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, which excludes $0.9 million, net of $0.4 million of tax, related to the impairment charge on a long-term investment in a privately held company.

Nine Month Results Fiscal 2018 (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)

  • Net sales decreased 0.8% to $418.7 million compared to $422.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. Net sales on a constant dollar basis decreased 0.3% compared to net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2017.
  • Gross profit was $219.3 million, or 52.4% of sales, compared to $230.1 million, or 54.5% of sales, in the same period last year. Adjusted gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, which excludes $0.8 million of amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton brand and $1.4 million in charges related to the cost savings initiatives, was $221.6 million, or 52.9% of sales. The decrease in the adjusted gross margin percentage from the first nine months of last year was primarily the result of channel and product mix as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a reduction of certain fixed costs as a result of cost savings initiatives.
  • Operating expenses were $189.5 million as compared to $183.6 million in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, adjusted operating expenses were $172.4 million, excluding $5.1 million of expenses and amortization related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and $12.0 million of expenses related to the cost savings initiatives. For the first nine months of fiscal 2017, adjusted operating expenses were $181.8 million, which excludes $1.8 million of expenses related to the COO’s retirement in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in adjusted operating expenses was primarily the result of decreased compensation and benefit expenses primarily related to the Company’s cost savings initiatives, fluctuations in foreign currency rates and decreased marketing expenses, partially offset by higher performance-based compensation.
  • Operating income was $29.9 million compared to operating income of $46.5 million in the same period last year. Adjusted operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $49.2 million, which excludes $5.9 million of expenses and amortization related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand and $13.4 million of expenses related to the cost savings initiatives.

  • Net income was $18.7 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 of $29.8 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $34.5 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, which excludes $5.5 million of expenses and amortization related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand, net of tax, and $10.3 million of expenses related to the cost savings initiatives, net of tax. For the first nine months of fiscal 2017, adjusted net income was $31.8 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, which excludes $1.1 million in expenses, net of tax, related to the COO’s retirement in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, as well as $0.9 million, net of tax, related to the impairment charge on a long-term investment in a privately held company in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

Baselworld Update

Given the expanding digital world and the changing retail landscape, the Company has decided to no longer exhibit its brands at the annual Baselworld Watch and Jewelry Fair in Switzerland. The Company plans to reinvest the approximate $10 million of annual savings in other marketing activities, including digital brand-building and sales growth initiatives. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $6.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as part of its cost savings initiatives. The majority of this charge comprises the non-cash net book value of the exhibition booths, with the balance primarily comprising the Company’s remaining contractual lease obligation for its space at the March 2018 fair. The Company does not anticipate any savings in operating expenses related to this decision for fiscal year 2018.

Fiscal 2018 Outlook

The Company is updating its outlook for fiscal 2018. The Company now expects net sales will be in a range of $550.0 million to $555.0 million and operating income will be approximately $58.0 million to $60.0 million. The Company anticipates net income in fiscal 2018 to be approximately $39.7 million to $41.0 million, or $1.70 to $1.75 per diluted share, reflecting a 30% anticipated effective tax rate. The Company's outlook assumes no further significant fluctuations from prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.

The above outlook excludes $13.4 million in pre-tax charges related to cost savings initiatives recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, including $6.3 million related to the above-mentioned Baselworld charge. The Company continues to expect to realize approximately $12.0 million of savings in fiscal 2018 from these initiatives. This outlook also excludes approximately $7.0 million in anticipated pre-tax costs in fiscal 2018, of which $5.9 million was recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, related to transaction costs and the amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments for the Olivia Burton brand.

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

The Company also announced that on November 21, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the payment on December 15, 2017 of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.13 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 1, 2017.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased 49,000 shares under its share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had $48.7 million remaining under the $50.0 million share repurchase authorization.

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 expenses and the amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton brand acquisition, charges for the cost savings initiatives and the COO’s retirement. The Company is also presenting adjusted tax provision, which is the tax provision under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate charges for the Olivia Burton brand acquisition, cost savings initiatives, impairment of a long-term investment in a private company and the COO’s retirement. 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 the expenses and the amortization of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Olivia Burton brand acquisition, the cost savings initiatives, impairment of a long-term investment in a private company and the COO’s retirement. 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 US 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.
