Exhibit No. | Description | |
99.1 | Press Release of Guess?, Inc. dated November 24, 2015 (financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2015) |
Exhibit 99.1 |
• | Americas Retail revenues decreased 7% in U.S. dollars and 3% in constant currency; retail comp sales including e-commerce decreased 6% in U.S. dollars and 2% in constant currency |
• | Europe revenues decreased 15% in U.S. dollars and 2% in constant currency |
• | Asia revenues decreased 17% in U.S. dollars and 9% in constant currency |
• | Americas Wholesale revenues decreased 12% in U.S. dollars and 3% in constant currency |
• | Operating earnings decreased 16% |
• | Earnings per share decreased 38%, including the negative impact of currency of 55% |
• | Announces quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 |
• | Invested $44.0 million to repurchase 2.0 million of our common shares |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Retail segment increased 340 basis points to negative 0.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to negative 4.3% in the prior-year period. The increase in operating margin was driven primarily by a lower SG&A rate due to lower store impairment charges. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Europe segment decreased 20 basis points to 3.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to 4.0% in the prior-year period, due to lower gross margins, partially offset by a lower SG&A rate. The lower gross margins were driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations on product costs, partially offset by higher initial mark-ups. The lower SG&A rate was due primarily to the favorable impact on the fixed cost structure resulting from positive same store sales and lower store impairment charges, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from lower wholesale shipments. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Asia segment increased 170 basis points to 4.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to 3.0% in the prior-year period. The increase in operating margin was due to higher gross margins and a lower SG&A rate driven by overall leveraging of expenses as we phase out of our G by GUESS concept in South Korea. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Wholesale segment decreased 560 basis points to 20.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to 26.1% in the prior-year period. The decrease in operating margin was due to lower product margins driven primarily by lower initial mark-ups and the unfavorable impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations on product costs. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Licensing segment increased 140 basis points to 89.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to 88.1% in the prior-year period. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Retail segment increased 270 basis points to negative 0.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to negative 3.3% in the prior-year period, due to a lower SG&A rate and higher gross margins. The lower SG&A rate was driven by lower store impairment charges. The higher gross margins were due primarily to higher initial mark-ups, partially offset by the negative impact on the fixed cost structure resulting from negative comparable store sales and the unfavorable impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations on product costs. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Europe segment decreased 20 basis points to 4.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to 4.4% in the prior-year period, due to lower gross margins, partially offset by a lower SG&A rate. The lower gross margins were driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations on product costs, partially offset by higher initial mark-ups. The lower SG&A rate was due primarily to the favorable impact on the fixed cost structure resulting from positive same store sales and lower store impairment charges, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from lower wholesale shipments. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Asia segment increased 80 basis points to 4.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to 3.8% in the prior-year period. The increase in operating margin was driven by a lower SG&A rate due primarily to an overall leveraging of expenses as we phase out of our G by GUESS concept in South Korea. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Wholesale segment decreased 230 basis points to 18.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to 20.5% in the prior-year period, driven by lower product margins due primarily to lower initial mark-ups. |
• | Operating margin for the Company’s Licensing segment decreased 80 basis points to 89.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to 89.8% in the prior-year period. |
• | Consolidated net revenues are expected to range between a decline of 1.5% and an increase of 1.5% in constant currency. Currency headwinds are expected to negatively impact consolidated revenue growth by approximately 5.5%, for a net decline between 7.0% and 4.0%. |
• | Operating margin is expected to be between 11.0% and 12.0% and includes 170 basis points of currency headwind. |
• | Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.62. The estimated impact on earnings per share of the currency headwinds is approximately $0.18. |
• | Consolidated net revenues are expected to decline between 1.5% and 0.5% in constant currency. Currency headwinds are expected to negatively impact consolidated revenue growth by approximately 8.0%, for a net decline between 9.5% and 8.5%. |
• | Operating margin is expected to be between 5.5% and 6.0% and includes 130 basis points of currency headwind. |
• | Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.93 to $1.02. The estimated impact on earnings per share of the currency headwinds is approximately $0.40. |
