This press release contains certain non-GAAP, or adjusted, financial measures, which exclude the impact of restructuring charges (and related taxes where applicable) recorded during the three and twelve months ended February 1, 2014. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables and discussed under the heading “Presentation of Non-GAAP Information” below.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded net earnings of $53.9 million, a 24.1% decrease compared to adjusted net earnings of $71.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Diluted earnings per share decreased 24.1%, to $0.63, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.83 for the prior-year quarter. The prior-year adjusted net earnings excluded restructuring charges of $2.1 million ($1.4 million net of taxes). On a GAAP basis, prior-year fourth quarter net earnings were $69.6 million and diluted earnings per share totaled $0.82, including an unfavorable $0.01 after-tax impact from the restructuring charges.

Paul Marciano, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall fourth quarter results were in line with our expectations. In North America, we were pleased by the emerging trends, as comps and traffic improved in the back-end of the quarter. Our E-commerce business continues to show strength, with 37% growth in the quarter and almost $80 million in revenues for the full year. In terms of products, our Marciano line resonated very well with our customers, posting double digit positive comps in the quarter, and our handbags and footwear also performed well.”

Mr. Marciano continued, “Turning to the outlook for fiscal year 2016, currencies will definitely be a headwind if they stay at current levels. But, as always, we will remain focused on what we can control, like our North America real estate realignment, providing a unique customer experience within our stores, and tightly managing our costs and inventory levels. We will continue investing in our omni-channel strategy globally and expect it to be a growth vehicle for fiscal 2016. We will also continue to leverage the Marciano brand in our North America Guess stores, and I am very confident in our upcoming product lines for fiscal 2016. Of course, all of these efforts are done with two key priorities in mind: improve the profitability of the Company while at the same time protecting our key asset, the Guess Brand.”

Total net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 9.3% to $696.7 million, from $768.4 million in the prior-year quarter. In constant currency, total net revenue decreased 4.1%. Refer to the accompanying tables for a summary of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the Company’s net revenue.

The Company’s retail stores and e-commerce sites in North America generated revenue of $317.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, a 3.7% decrease from $329.0 million in the same period a year ago. Comparable store sales including the results of our e-commerce sites for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 5.0% in U.S. dollars and 3.5% in constant currency compared to the same period a year ago.
 
Net revenue from the Company’s Europe segment decreased 16.1% to $240.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, from $287.1 million in the prior-year period. In constant currency, net revenue decreased 5.3%.

Net revenue from the Company’s Asia segment decreased 9.1% to $75.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, from $83.0 million in the prior-year period. In constant currency, net revenue decreased 7.0%.

Operating earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased 30.1% to $73.2 million (including a $5.9 million unfavorable currency translation impact), from adjusted operating earnings of $104.6 million in the prior-year period. Operating margin in the fourth quarter decreased 310 basis points to 10.5%, compared to adjusted operating margin of 13.6% in the prior-year quarter. The lower operating margin was driven by the negative impact on the Company’s fixed cost structure from negative same store sales in North America, higher store impairment charges, lower wholesale shipments in Europe and more markdowns in North America. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings decreased 28.6% and operating margin decreased 280 basis points.

Outlook

The Company’s expectations for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 ending May 2, 2015, are as follows:

Consolidated net revenues are expected to grow between 1 and 2 percentage points in constant currency. Currency headwinds are expected to negatively impact consolidated revenue growth by approximately 9 percentage points, for a net decline between 8 and 7 percentage points.
Operating margin is expected to be between minus 1.5% and minus 1.0% and includes 50 basis points of currency headwind.
Diluted net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.03.

For the fiscal year ending January 30, 2016, the Company’s expectations are as follows:

Consolidated net revenues are expected to range between a decline of minus 1 percentage point and an increase of 1 percentage point in constant currency. Currency headwinds are expected to negatively impact consolidated revenue growth by approximately 8 percentage points, for a net decline between 9 and 7 percentage points.
Operating margin is expected to be between 4.5% and 5.5% and includes 150 basis points of currency headwind.
Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.95. The estimated impact on earnings per share of the currency headwinds is roughly 50 cents.

The Company’s guidance assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain at prevailing rates.

Dividends

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on April 17, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2015.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

The financial information presented in this release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as “adjusted” results (to exclude the impact of restructuring charges incurred during the three and twelve months ended February 1, 2014), constant currency financial information and free cash flow measures. The non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company’s reported GAAP results.

The Company has excluded restructuring charges, and related tax impact, incurred during the three and twelve months ended February 1, 2014 from its adjusted financial measures primarily because it does not believe such charges reflect the Company’s ongoing operating results or future outlook. The Company believes that these adjusted financial measures are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the comparability of the Company’s operating results when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.

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 enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, 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 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. However, in calculating the estimated impact of currency on our earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2016, the Company estimates gross margin (including the impact of merchandise-related hedges) and expenses using the appropriate prior-year rates, translates the estimated foreign earnings at the comparable prior-year rates, and excludes the year-over-year earnings impact of gains or losses arising from balance sheet remeasurement and foreign currency contracts not designated as merchandise hedges. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company also includes information regarding its free cash flows in this release. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flows is not intended to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, but rather provides additional visibility to investors regarding how much cash is generated for discretionary and non-discretionary items after deducting purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of reported GAAP cash flows from operating activities to the comparable non-GAAP free cash flow measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

The Company will hold a conference call at 4:30 pm (ET) on March 18, 2015 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.

1

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company implemented plans to streamline its operational structure and reduce expenses in both Europe and North America. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expanded these plans to include the consolidation and streamlining of its operations in Europe and Asia. These plans resulted in restructuring charges incurred during the three and twelve months ended February 1, 2014. No adjustments have been made to the same current-year periods.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2

The income tax effect of the restructuring charges was based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility using the statutory tax rate of the tax jurisdiction in which the charges were incurred.
