LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

- European revenues increased 2% in US dollars and decreased 4% in local currency
- Asian revenues increased 18% in US dollars and 15% in constant dollars
- Operating profit grew 5%; operating margin was flat at 15.1%
This press release includes certain non-GAAP, or adjusted, financial measures, which exclude a settlement charge incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Reconciliations of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP amounts are provided in the accompanying tables and discussed under the heading "Presentation of Non-GAAP Information" below.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company generated net earnings of $66.3 million, a 4.0% decrease compared to net earnings of $69.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share decreased 5.3%, reaching $0.71, compared to $0.75 for the prior-year quarter.
Paul Marciano, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to deliver third quarter earnings consistent with our expectations, even as economic pressures have intensified and are affecting consumer confidence in many of our markets, particularly in Europe. During the quarter, we made good progress on many key strategic initiatives. Our efforts to elevate our brand in North America are yielding significant improvements in profitability. We enjoy momentum in Asia and the newer markets in Europe where our brand is well known but where our business is still under-penetrated. And we are focusing on sound execution, managing our inventories, expenses and capital prudently."
Mr. Marciano continued, "It is difficult to predict how long the current economic conditions may persist. As always, we plan to manage carefully and prudently, focusing on those things that we can directly control. Our goal is to improve productivity, expand our long term profitability and deliver outstanding returns to our shareholders, while always protecting our brand. Backed by our strong balance sheet, we are committed to pursuing the long term potential of our iconic lifestyle brand in a very strategic and disciplined way that is consistent with prevailing market conditions."
Total net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 4.7% to $642.8 million, from $613.9 million in the prior-year quarter. In constant dollars, total net revenue increased 1.9%.
- The Company's retail stores in North America generated revenue of $265.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, a 4.7% increase from $253.7 million in the same period a year ago. Comparable store sales decreased 4.1% in local currency and 3.5% in US dollars for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to the same period a year ago. The Company directly operated 495 retail stores in the United States and Canada at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 versus 473 stores a year earlier.
- Net revenue from the Company's Europe segment increased 2.3% to $221.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $216.2 million in the prior-year period. In local currency, net revenue decreased 3.7%.
- Net revenue from the Company's Asia segment increased 18.3% to $64.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, from $54.8 million in the prior-year period. In constant dollars, net revenue increased 14.8%.
- Net revenue from the Company's North American Wholesale segment increased 1.9% to $57.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, from $56.3 million in the prior-year period.
- Licensing segment net revenue increased 3.2% to $34.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, from $33.0 million in the prior-year period.
Operating earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 4.6% to $97.0 million (including a $3.3 million favorable currency translation impact) from $92.7 million in the prior-year period. Operating margin in the third quarter was flat at 15.1% compared to the prior-year quarter as higher product margins and an improved SG&A rate offset the impact of a higher occupancy rate. Product margins improved primarily due to lower markdowns in North American Retail while the occupancy deleverage was driven by retail expansion and negative comparable store sales. The SG&A rate decreased as lower performance-based compensation expenses and North American retail store selling expenses more than offset the negative impact of lower international jewelry shipments and higher advertising expenses.
Other net income, which primarily includes net unrealized mark-to-market gains on foreign currency contracts and balances, partially offset by net unrealized losses on non-operating assets, was $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to other net income of $5.9 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
The Company's reported effective tax rate increased to 32.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, from 29.1% for the third quarter of the prior year.
Nine-Month Period Results
Adjusted net earnings for the nine months ended October 29, 2011 were $187.2 million, an increase of 0.6% compared to net earnings of $186.2 million for the nine months ended October 30, 2010. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 0.5% to $2.01 per share in the first nine months of the 2012 fiscal year compared to $2.00 per share in the comparable nine-month period last year. The adjusted net earnings excludes a settlement charge of $19.5 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, along with the related tax impact, associated with the settlement of the Company's relationship with one of its European service providers. On a GAAP basis, net earnings for the nine months ended October 29, 2011 were $169.6 million and diluted earnings per share, including an unfavorable $0.19 impact from the settlement charge, totaled $1.82.
Total net revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased 10.5% to $1.91 billion from $1.73 billion in the prior-year period. In constant dollars, total net revenue increased 6.3%.
- The Company's retail stores in North America generated revenue of $774.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, a 5.9% increase from $731.3 million in the same period a year ago. Comparable store sales decreased 3.9% in local currency and 2.8% in US dollars for the nine months ended October 29, 2011, compared to the nine months ended October 30, 2010.
- Net revenue from the Company's Europe segment increased 15.1% to $720.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to $625.5 million in the prior-year period. In local currency, revenues increased 6.7%.
- Net revenue from the Company's Asia segment increased 23.8% to $180.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to $145.5 million in the prior-year period. In constant dollars the increase was 18.8%.
- Net revenue from the Company's North American Wholesale segment increased 2.5% to $146.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, from $143.3 million in the prior-year period.
- Licensing segment net revenue increased 7.3% to $91.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, from $84.8 million in the prior-year period.
Excluding the settlement charge, adjusted operating earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased 7.9% to $280.9 million (including a $13.4 million favorable currency translation impact) from $260.3 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 declined 30 basis points to 14.7% compared to the prior-year period as improvements in product margins were more than offset by a higher occupancy rate. The higher product margins were driven by lower markdowns in North American Retail and the greater mix of retail in Europe. The SG&A rate remained flat compared to the prior year period as lower performance-based compensation expenses offset the negative impact of the lower international jewelry shipments. GAAP operating earnings, which includes the settlement charge, increased 0.4% to $261.4 million (including an $11.4 million favorable currency translation impact) and GAAP operating margin declined 130 basis points to 13.7%.
Other net expense, which relates to net unrealized mark-to-market losses on foreign currency contracts and balances and net unrealized losses on non-operating assets was $5.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to other net income of $9.0 million in the prior-year period.

- Consolidated net revenues are expected to range from $780 million to $795 million.
- Operating margin is expected to be between 17.5% and 18.5%.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
The financial information presented in this release for the nine months ended October 29, 2011 includes both GAAP and non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these "non-GAAP" or "adjusted" financial measures are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the Company's operating results when reviewed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial statements. The non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Reconciliations of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP amounts are provided in the accompanying tables.
The adjusted measures exclude the impact of a settlement charge incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. In the latter part of July 2011, the Company experienced a temporary disruption in its European supply chain, related to one of its service providers. The Company subsequently entered into an agreement to terminate the relationship with that provider, resulting in a $19.5 million settlement charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
This release also includes certain constant currency financial information. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amount reported from translating the Company's foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results under GAAP. The Company provides constant currency information to help investors assess how our businesses performed excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate revenues and earnings from operations on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company will hold a conference call at 4:30 pm (ET) on November 30, 2011 to discuss the news announced in this press release. A live webcast of the conference call will be accessible at www.guess.com via the "Investor Relations" link. The webcast will be archived on the website for 30 days.

Except for historical information contained herein, certain matters discussed in this press release, including statements concerning the Company's short and long-term future prospects and guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2012, are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are only expectations, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from what is currently anticipated. Factors which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, domestic and international economic conditions, including economic and other events that could negatively impact consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending and result in increasingly difficult competitive conditions; our ability to, among other things, anticipate consumer preferences, protect our brand, effectively operate our various retail concepts, effectively transition to a new European service provider, effectively manage inventories and successfully execute our strategies, including our supply chain and international growth strategies; and risks associated with changes in economic, political, social and other conditions affecting our foreign operations, including currency fluctuations, global tax rates and the current European economic crisis. In addition to these factors, the economic, technological, managerial, litigation-related and other risks identified in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the risk factors discussed therein, could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.
