Fossil Group Reiterates FY24 Worldwide Net Sales Of ~$1.2B

Outlook

The Company is reiterating its full year financial outlook for 2024. Worldwide net sales are expected to be approximately $1.2 billion, reflecting consumer and channel softness, as well as approximately $100 million of negative impact related to the exit of its smartwatch business, and the closure of owned retail stores. Fiscal year adjusted operating margin(1) is expected to be in the range of -3% to -5%. The Company expects to generate positive free cash flow(2) in full year 2024, inclusive of tax refunds of approximately $57 million, which were received in the second quarter of 2024.

(1) A reconciliation of adjusted operating margin, 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 margin.

(2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as net cash from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. A corresponding reconciliation of free cash flow to a corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.
