Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) today announced financial results
for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 28,
2024. In a separate press release today, the Company also announced
the appointment of Randy Greben as Chief Financial Officer,
effective March 17, 2025.
Fourth Quarter Summary
- Fourth quarter worldwide net sales
were $342 million, down 19% on a reported basis and 18% in constant
currency, with sales declines across all regions and all channels.
The results included 600 basis points of negative impact related to
the Company’s strategic actions to exit the smartwatch category and
optimize its retail store portfolio.
- Fourth quarter gross margin
expanded 630 basis points to 53.9%.
- Fourth quarter selling, general and
administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $172.1 million were down
17% versus the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower
compensation costs as a result of efficiencies from the Company’s
Transform and Grow plan (“TAG”).
- Fourth quarter operating loss was
$16.3 million, or (4.8%) of net sales. Adjusted operating income
was $20.1 million, or 5.9% of net sales.
- Fourth quarter diluted loss per
share was $0.14. Adjusted income per share was $0.39. Currencies
unfavorably affected loss per diluted share by approximately
$0.07.
- Inventory at year-end of $178.6
million, representing a decrease of 29.4% versus a year ago.
- The Company generated free cash
flow of $30 million in the fourth quarter.
- As of December 28, 2024, the
Company had total liquidity of $177 million, including cash and
cash equivalents of $124 million and $53 million of availability
under its revolving credit facility.
“We are pleased to conclude the year with better
than expected fourth quarter results, delivering $20 million of
adjusted operating profit as our initiatives to improve our
business performance started to gain traction,” said Franco
Fogliato, Chief Executive Officer. “In my initial months in the CEO
role, we took decisive actions to begin strengthening our operating
model, while developing a comprehensive turnaround plan designed to
drive long-term profitable growth. The organization is energized by
the opportunity ahead. Importantly, we have a strong combination of
seasoned Fossil Group team members and newly appointed leaders to
advance our strategy and build lasting shareholder value.”
Fossil Group Turnaround
Plan
The Company introduced a business turnaround
plan consisting of three primary pillars: (i) refocusing on our
core through key initiatives, including launching a new FOSSIL
brand platform, leveraging our core licensed brands, optimizing our
global wholesale footprint and driving channel profitability, (ii)
rightsizing our cost structure, and (iii) strengthening our balance
sheet. As part of the turnaround plan, in full year 2025, the
Company expects to achieve SG&A savings of approximately $100
million versus 2024, resulting from a corporate workforce
reduction, the transition of select international markets to a
distributor model and the closure of approximately 50 FOSSIL retail
stores. In parallel with its turnaround plan, the Company is
concluding its TAG Plan, which generated annualized operating
income benefits of $280 million over a two year period, including
$125 million in 2023 and $155 million in 2024. The Company also
stated that it is continuing to work with its advisors and
progressing on its previously announced Strategic Review of its
business model and capital structure.
In connection with the turnaround plan, the
Company is providing the following long term financial targets. For
the full year in 2027, the Company expects to achieve:
- Worldwide net sales of more than
$800 million
- Adjusted operating income(1) margin
in the mid-single-digit range
- Positive free cash flow
(1) A reconciliation of Adjusted operating
income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to a corresponding GAAP
measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility
of certain income and expense items that are excluded in
calculating Adjusted operating income.
Fourth Quarter
2024 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
$342.3 million, a decrease of 18.8% on a reported basis and 18.1%
in constant currency compared to $421.3 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2023. The sales decrease was largely driven by
overall category, consumer and channel softness. Declines in
smartwatch sales resulting from our exit of the category and our
store rationalization initiatives comprised approximately 600 basis
points of the sales decline in the fourth quarter. Net sales, in
constant currency, decreased 21% in Europe, 18% in the Americas and
13% in Asia versus the same quarter last year. Wholesale sales
declined 10%, while our direct to consumer sales declined 27% on a
constant currency basis. Within our direct to consumer channels,
comparable retail sales declined 20%. In our major product
categories, traditional watch sales declined 10% in constant
currency in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year period.
The leathers category decreased 37% and jewelry sales declined 19%
in constant currency during the fourth quarter. From a brand lens,
the majority of the brands in our portfolio decreased in the fourth
quarter. FOSSIL branded sales decreased 20% in constant currency,
primarily driven by declines in leathers and smartwatches, while
traditional watch sales decreased slightly during the fourth
quarter of 2024.
- Gross profit
totaled $184.6 million compared to $200.5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2023. Gross margin increased 630 basis points to 53.9%
versus 47.6% a year ago. The year-over-year increase was primarily
due to initiatives under TAG, including improved product margins in
our core categories and our exit from the smartwatch category.
These benefits were partially offset by a $7.6 million
restructuring charge related to the closure of our Swiss
manufacturing operations.
- Operating expenses
totaled $200.9 million compared to $224.5 million a year ago. As a
percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 58.7% in the
fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 53.3% in the prior year fourth
quarter, reflecting an increase in restructuring costs as compared
to the prior year. SG&A expenses were $172.1 million compared
to $207.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a reduction of
17%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 50.3% in
the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 49.3% in the prior year
fourth quarter, largely driven by deleveraging on lower sales.
- Operating loss was
$16.3 million compared to $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of
2023. Operating margin was (4.8)% in the fourth quarter of 2024
compared to (5.7)% in the prior year fourth quarter. Adjusted
operating income totaled $20.1 million compared to adjusted
operating loss of $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Adjusted operating margin was 5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024
compared to (2.0)% in the prior year fourth quarter.
- Interest expense
was $4.9 million compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of
2023.
- Other income
(expense) was expense of $4.1 million compared to income
of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The change in other
income (expense) was largely due to increased net currency losses
in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year fourth
quarter.
- Income (loss)
before income taxes was $(25.2) million compared to $(27.8) million
in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA
was $23.1 million, or 6.7% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of
2024 and $(1.6) million, or (0.4)% of net sales, in the prior year
period.
- Provision for income
taxes was a benefit of $14.0 million, resulting in an
effective income tax rate of 55.7% compared to expense of $0.6
million and an effective tax rate of (2.0)% in the prior year. The
effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2024 was favorably
impacted by the release of $15.5 million of discrete items. The
prior year effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by
tax expense on foreign income.
- Net loss totaled
$7.6 million with loss per diluted share of $0.14, which compares
to a net loss of $28.2 million and loss per diluted share of $0.54
in the prior year period. Adjusted net income for the quarter was
$21.2 million with adjusted income per diluted share of $0.39
compared to adjusted net loss of $16.0 million with adjusted loss
per diluted share of $0.30 in the prior year period. During the
fourth quarter of 2024, currencies unfavorably affected loss per
diluted share by approximately $0.07.
Full Year 2024 Operating Results
- Net sales totaled
$1.1 billion, a decrease of 18.9% on a reported basis and 18.6% in
constant currency, compared to $1.4 billion in full year 2023. The
sales decrease was largely driven by overall category, consumer and
channel softness. Declines in smartwatch sales resulting from our
exit of the category and our store rationalization initiatives
comprised approximately 600 basis points of the sales decline in
the year. Net sales in constant currency decreased in all regions,
with the Americas and Europe each decreasing 19% and Asia 16%
versus the prior year. Wholesale sales declined 15% in constant
currency, while our direct to consumer channels decreased 24%.
Within our direct to consumer channels, comparable retail sales
decreased 15%. Traditional watch sales decreased 14%, while the
leathers category decreased 30% and jewelry sales decreased 13% in
constant currency during 2024. From a brand perspective, FOSSIL,
EMPORIO ARMANI and MICHAEL KORS sales declined in the current year.
FOSSIL branded sales decreased 17% in constant currency with
declines in watches, leathers and jewelry.
- Gross profit
totaled $597.2 million compared to $679.6 million in 2023. Gross
margin increased 410 basis points to 52.2% versus 48.1% a year ago.
The year-over-year increase was primarily due to initiatives under
our TAG Plan, including improved product margins in our core
categories and our exit from the smartwatch category. These
benefits were partially offset by a $7.6 million restructuring
charge related to closure of our Swiss manufacturing
operations.
- Operating expenses
totaled $701.1 million compared to $822.6 million in fiscal year
2023. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 61.2%
for full year 2024 compared to 58.2% in the prior year. SG&A
expenses were $638.8 million compared to $777.2 million in fiscal
year 2023, a reduction of 18%. As a percentage of net sales,
SG&A expenses were 55.8% in full year 2024 compared to 55.0% in
the prior year, mainly driven by deleveraging on lower sales.
- Operating income
(loss) was a loss of $103.9 million compared to loss of
$143.0 million in full year 2023. Operating margin was (9.1)% for
full year 2024 compared to (10.1)% in the prior year. Adjusted
operating loss totaled $34.3 million compared to a loss of $92.0
million in full year 2023. Adjusted operating margin was (3.0)% for
full year 2024 compared to (6.5)% in the prior year.
- Interest expense
decreased to $19.0 million compared to $21.8 million in full year
2023, primarily driven by lower debt balances.
- Other income
(expense) was income of $4.9 million, compared to income
of $8.7 million in full year 2023. The change in other income
(expense) was largely due to net currency losses in full year 2024
as compared to net currency gains in the prior year. Net currency
losses in full year 2024 were more than offset by interest income
in full year 2024.
- Income (loss) before income
taxes was a loss of $118.1 million compared to loss of
$156.1 million in the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA
was $(11.6) million, or (1.0)% of net sales, in full year 2024 and
$(62.6) million, or (4.4)% of net sales, in the prior year.
- Provision for income taxes was a benefit of
$11.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.0%,
compared to income tax expense of $0.5 million and an effective tax
rate of (0.3)% in fiscal year 2023. The 2024 effective rate was
favorably impacted by reduced foreign income taxes, release of
reserves for uncertain tax positions and the accrual of interest
income on tax receivables, whereas the 2023 effective rate was
unfavorably impacted by the low level of pre-tax earnings and
valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
- Net loss totaled
$102.7 million with loss per diluted share of $1.94, which compares
to net loss of $157.0 million and loss per diluted share of $3.00
in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss was $47.7 million with
adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.90 compared to adjusted net
loss of $116.9 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of
$2.24 in the prior year period. During full year 2024, currencies
unfavorably affected loss per diluted share by approximately
$0.04.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of December 28, 2024, the Company had $123.6
million of cash and cash equivalents and $53.4 million of
availability under its revolving credit facility. Inventories at
year-end totaled $178.6 million, a decrease of 29.4% versus a year
ago. Total debt at year end was $164.8 million.
2025 Outlook
The Company is announcing the following guidance
for full year 2025. Worldwide net sales guidance includes an
expected impact of approximately $45 million related to retail
store closures and excludes impacts from foreign exchange and
potential asset sales.
- Worldwide net sales decline in the
range of mid to high teens.
- Adjusted operating income(1) margin
in the negative low single digits.
(1) A reconciliation of Adjusted operating
income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to a corresponding GAAP
measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility
of certain income and expense items that are excluded in
calculating Adjusted operating income.

Constant Currency Financial
Information
The following tables present our business
segment and product net sales on a constant currency basis, which
are non-GAAP financial measures. To calculate net sales on a
constant currency basis, net sales for the current fiscal year
period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates during
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company
presents constant currency information to provide investors with a
basis to evaluate how its underlying business performed excluding
the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The
constant currency financial information presented herein should not
be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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.
