Separately, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed earlier today, the Company provided restated unaudited consolidated financial information for each of the three fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, and the interim periods within fiscal years 2025 and 2024, following an investigation into allegations of misconduct within the Dubai branch of the Company's Swiss subsidiary, MGI Luxury Group Sárl, related to sales to certain customers in the Middle East, India & Asia Pacific region. The Company also provided certain preliminary unreviewed and unaudited net sales, gross margin, and operating income results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. These preliminary results follow below.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company expects:

Net sales of $181.5 million, as compared to $175.8 million (restated) in the prior year period;
Gross margin of 54.2% as compared to 53.5% (restated) in the prior year period; and
Operating income of $9.2 million, as compared to $10.8 million (restated) in the prior year period. Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 was negatively impacted by $4.3 million as a result of provisions associated with cost savings initiatives as well as professional fees related to the investigation described above resulting in adjusted operating income of $13.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

For fiscal year 2025, the Company expects:

Net sales of $653.4 million, as compared to $664.4 million (restated) in the prior year period;
Gross margin of 54.0% as compared to 54.8% (restated) in the prior year period; and
Operating income of $20.0 million, as compared to $48.5 million (restated) in the prior year period. Operating income for the fiscal year 2025 was negatively impacted by $7.1 million as a result of provisions associated with cost savings initiatives as well as professional fees related to the investigation resulting in adjusted operating income of $27.1 million for fiscal year 2025.

In addition, the Company maintained a strong balance sheet with $208.5 million of cash and no debt as of January 31, 2025.

The select fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 results included above in this press release are based upon preliminary financial results. These preliminary financial results are based upon information available to management as of the date of this press release. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from these results due to final adjustments and developments that may arise or information that may become available between now and the time the Company's financial results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 are finalized and included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. These preliminary results may be subject to further adjustment as a result of the restatements of historical results. These preliminary financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary financial results, nor has it expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such results.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company also announced today that on April 11, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the payment on May 6, 2025, of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.35 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 April 22, 2025.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and globally distributes and sells 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 adjusted operating income, which is a financial measure that is not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted operating income eliminates the establishment of a provision associated with cost savings initiatives as well as professional fees related to the internal investigation mentioned above. The Company believes this adjusted measure is useful because it gives 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. This non-GAAP financial measure is designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release. The non-GAAP financial measure presented should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measure, and the methods of its calculation may differ substantially from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
