MOVADO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Movado Group, Inc. (the “Company”), in a manner consistent with that used in the preparation of the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data at January 31, 2025 is derived from the audited annual financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
NOTE 1A –
RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In late January 2025, the Company became aware of allegations of misconduct within the Dubai branch (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 “Affected Region”). Promptly thereafter, the Company retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation into these allegations. Based on that investigation, the Company has determined that the former managing director of the Dubai Branch, who oversaw the Affected Region, as well as certain employees under his direction, took actions that resulted in an overstatement of sales, premature recognition of sales, and underreporting of credit notes (e.g., sales discounts) owed to customers in the Affected Region. These actions included the use of a third-party warehouse unknown to the Company’s management to facilitate the premature recognition of sales, and the falsification of documents to circumvent internal controls. The conduct occurred over a period of approximately five years (beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2021). The investigation has not identified any impact to reported sales to customers in other regions, nor has the investigation identified any knowledge of, or participation in, the misconduct by Company employees (whether members of management or otherwise) outside of the Affected Region. The Company has terminated the now former managing director of the Dubai Branch.
The Company concluded that its historical consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, and the interim periods within fiscal years 2025 and 2024, required restatement to properly record the extent and timing of sales earned and credits issued during the relevant time period. Additionally, the restated interim periods of fiscal 2025 reflected a reduction in operating expenses as a result of the reversal of certain accruals due to the lower adjusted operating results. The misstatements did not impact the Company’s cash flows or compliance with the debt covenants in the Company’s credit agreement. The restatement of the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023 and for the quarterly periods ended October 31, 2024, July 31, 2024, April 30, 2024, October 31, 2023, July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 was reflected in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which should be referred to in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements.
The Company has included herein its restated unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements at April 30, 2024 and for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024.
The Company has also included restated impacted amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 28, 2025, the Company received a voluntary request for documents and information relating to that restatement from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company is cooperating with the SEC in responding to those requests.

NOTE 2 –
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires expanded income tax disclosures primarily related to an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and the amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoption in its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 - COST-SAVINGS INITIATIVE
During fiscal year 2025, in light of the ongoing challenging consumer-spending environment, the Company committed to a cost-savings initiative to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, bringing them more in line with sales.
11
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company recorded $
0.6
million in accruals for severance and employee-related charges which are included in
Selling, general and administrative
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended April 30, 2025. During the second half of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded $
4.6
million in accruals for severance and employee-related charge
s and early lease termination charges which were
included in
Selling, general and administrative
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2025. The amounts recorded in fiscal year 2026 are included in the Watch and Accessory segment in the International locations, and the amounts recorded in fiscal year 2025 were included in both the United States and International locations in the Watch and Accessory segment.
Of the total amount recorded, $
1.3
million related to severance and employee-related charges was paid during fiscal year 2025, and $
1.0
million related to severance and employee-related charges was paid during the first three months of fiscal year 2026. Of the remaining amount,
$
2.4
million is included in Accrued payroll and benefits and
$
0.5
mil
lion is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2025. The Company expects the remaining severance and employee-related expenses and the early lease termination expenses to be paid during the remainder of fiscal year 2026.
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE AND CASH DIVIDENDS
The Company presents net income attributable to Movado Group, Inc. after adjusting for noncontrolling interests, as applicable, per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share is computed using weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for dilutive common stock equivalents.
The number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended April 30,
2025
2024
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic
22,267
22,253
Effect of dilutive securities:

common stock
232
420
Diluted
22,499
22,673
For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately
781,000
and
590,000
, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company declared a cash dividend of
$
0.35
per share for
$
7.8
million, payable on May 6, 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $
0.35
per share for $
7.8
million.

NOTE 6 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT
The Company and its U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement originally dated October 12, 2018 (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $
100.0
million
12
senior
secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) and has a maturity date of
October 28, 2026
. The Facility includes a $
15.0
million letter of credit subfacility, a $
25.0
million swingline subfacility and a $
75.0
million sublimit for borrowings by the Swiss Borrower, with provisions for uncommitted increases to the Facility of up to $
50.0
million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).
The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower, except that the Swiss Borrower is not liable for, nor does it guarantee, the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers' obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the U.S. Borrowers' assets other than certain excluded assets. The Swiss Borrower does not provide collateral to secure the obligations under the Facility.
As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, there were
no
amounts of loans outstanding under the Facility. Availability under the Facility was reduced by the aggregate number of letters of credit outstanding, issued in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada, totaling approximately
$
0.3
million at both April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024. At April 30, 2025, the letters of credit have expiration dates through
June 2, 2025
.
As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, availability under the Facility was
$
99.7
million.
The Company had weighted average borrowings under the Facility of
zero
during both the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company's Swiss subsidiary maintains unsecured lines of credit with a Swiss bank that are subject to repayment upon demand. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, these lines of credit totaled
6.5
million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of
$
7.9
million and $
7.1
million, respectively. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, there were
no
borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2025 and 2024,
two
European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of
two
of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of
$
1.5
million and
$
1.3
million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which
$
0.8
million, for both periods, was a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.
Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was
$
0.1
million for both the three month periods ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company addresses certain financial exposures that include the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of April 30, 2025, the Company's net forward contracts hedging portfolio designated as qualified cash flow hedging instruments consisted of
24.0
million Euros equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through
October
23, 2025
. Th
e net gain or loss on the derivatives is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings using the same revenue or expense category that the hedged item impacted. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts not designated as qualified hedges in accordance with ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
. As of April 30, 2025, the Company’s net forward contracts hedging portfolio not designated as qualified hedges consisted of
24.0
million Swiss Francs equivalent,
30.5
million U.S. dollars eq
uivalent,
10.6
million Euros equivalent and
1.3
million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through
October
10, 2025
. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise. Net gains or losses related to these forward contracts are included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are classified in operating activities.

See Note 8 -
Fair Value Measurements for fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives.
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
•
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
14
The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2025 and 2024 and January 31, 2025 (in thousands):

The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of the short-term investment, which is a guaranteed investment certificate, is based on its purchase price plus one half of one percent calculated annually.
The assets related to the Company’s defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) consist of both employer (employee unvested) and employee assets which are invested in investment funds with fair values calculated based on quoted market prices. The SERP liability represents the Company’s liability to the employees in the plan for their vested balances. The hedge derivatives consist of cash flow hedging instruments and forward contracts
(see Note 7 for further discussion) and are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to Swiss Franc and Euro exchange rate risks. Fair values of the Company’s hedge derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates and quoted interest rates.
15
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland. The plan covers certain international employees and is based on years of service and compensation on a career-average pay basis. The assets within the plan are classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy and consist of an investment in pooled assets and include separate employee accounts that are invested in equity securities, debt securities and real estate. The values of the separate accounts invested are based on values provided by the administrator of the funds that cannot be readily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The value of the assets is part of the defined benefit plan and included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025, and April 30, 2024.
There were
no
transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
From time to time the Company may make minority investments in growth companies in the consumer products sector and other sectors relevant to its business, including certain of the Company's suppliers and customers, as well as in venture capital funds that invest in companies in media, entertainment, information technology and technology-related fields and in digital assets. Through fiscal 2025, the Company invested approximately
$
14.1
million and during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company invested an additional
$
1.3
m
illion in venture capital funds. The Company has evaluated and will regularly evaluate the carrying value of its investments. The carrying value of the investments are
recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has minimum commitments related to the Company’s license agreements and endorsement agreements with brand ambassadors, and also includes service agreements. The Company sources, distributes, advertises and sells watches and jewelry pursuant to its exclusive license agreements with unaffiliated licensors. Royalty amounts under the license agreements are generally based on a stipulated percentage of revenues, although most of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of minimum annual royalty amounts. The license agreements have various terms, and some have renewal options, provided that minimum sales levels are achieved. Additionally, the license agreements require the Company to pay minimum annual advertising amounts.
The Company believes that income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, the Company could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, state, and foreign liabilities in the future as the Company revises estimates or settles or otherwise resolves the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may take new positions that could increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.
In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputed the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would imply $
5.1
million in underpaid duties for all imports that entered the United States during the audit period which extended from August 1, 2011, through July 15, 2016, plus possible penalties and interest. Although the Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate were not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and consistently disputed U.S. Customs’ position, the Company previously established reserves for a portion of the alleged underpayment indicated in the audit report. Between February 2017 and January 2021, the Company made numerous submissions to U.S. Customs containing supplemental analyses and information in response to U.S. Customs’ information requests. On May 1, 2023, the statute of limitations lapsed with respect to all entries encompassed by the audit period. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company released the reserves that it had established in respect of those entries.
16
The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. As of April 30, 2025, the Company is party to legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations beyond the amounts accrued, or cash flows.
NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax provision of
$
0.7
million and $
2.0
million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The effective tax rate was
34.0
%
and
48.7
% for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to changes in valuation allowances against certain foreign losses and a limitation on a portion of the foreign tax credits and deductions related to the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), partially offset by excess tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation and changes in jurisdictional earnings.
At April 30, 2025, the Company had
no
deferred tax liability for substantially all of the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately
$
224.3
m
illion because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings in its foreign operations. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability related to a future distribution of these permanently reinvested foreign earnings.

The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is recognized at a point in time. The Company’s net sales disaggregated by geography are based on the location of the Company’s customer (see Note 16 – Segment and Geographic Information).
19
Wholesale Revenue
The Company’s wholesale revenue consists primarily of revenues from independent distributors, department stores, chain stores, independent jewelry stores and third-party e-commerce retailers. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, and control is transferred to the customer. Transfer of control passes to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the agreement with the customer and shipping terms. Wholesale revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company ultimately expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Wholesale revenue is included entirely within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment (see Note 16 – Segment and Geographic Information), consistent with how management makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources and performance measurement.
Direct to Consumer Revenue
The Company’s direct to consumer revenue primarily consists of revenues from the Company’s outlet stores, the Company’s owned e-commerce websites and concession stores, and consumer repairs. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, and control is transferred to the customer. Control passes to outlet store customers at the time of sale and to substantially all e-commerce customers upon shipment. Direct to Consumer revenue is included in either the Watch and Accessory Brands segment or Company Stores Segment based on how the Company makes decisions about the allocation of resources and performance measurement. Revenue derived from outlet stores and related e-commerce is included within the Company Stores Segment. Other Direct to Consumer revenue (i.e., revenue derived from other Company-owned e-commerce websites, concession stores and consumer repairs) is included within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment. (See Note 16 – Segment and Geographic Information).
After-Sales Service
All watches sold by the Company come with limited warranties covering the movement against defects in materials and workmanship.
The Company’s after-sales service revenues consists of out of warranty service provided to customers and authorized third party repair centers, and sale of watch parts. The Company recognizes and records its revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. After-sales service revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company ultimately expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Revenue from after sales service, including consumer repairs, is included entirely within the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, consistent with how management makes decisions about the allocation of resources and performance measurement.
NOTE 15 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of June 22, 2023 (the “Plan”), the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of three of the Company’s non-employee directors, has the authority to grant participants incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock awards, for up to
12,000,000
shares of common stock.
Stock Options:
Stock options granted to participants under the Plan generally become exercisable
after
three years
and remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. All stock options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024.
The fair value of the stock options, less expected forfeitures, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Total compensation expense for stock option grants recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 was
$
0.1
million and $
0.3
million, respectively. As of April 30, 2025, there was
no
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. There were
no
stock options exercised during each of the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company follows accounting guidance related to disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. This guidance requires disclosure of segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires expanded disclosures about an entity’s reportable segments, including more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how an entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The Company
21
adopted this new guidance for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, and on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. This ASU does not change how an entity identifies its operating segments.
The Company conducts its business in
two
operating segments: Watch and Accessory Brands and Company Stores. The Company’s Watch and Accessory Brands segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches and, to a lesser extent, jewelry and other accessories, of owned and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Company Stores segment includes the Company’s retail outlet business. The
Chief Executive Officer
of the Company is the CODM and regularly reviews operating results for each of the
two
operating segments to assess performance and makes operating decisions about the allocation of the Company’s resources. The Company’s
CODM evaluates operating results based on gross profit, defined as net sales less cost of sales, and operating income, defined as gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses.
The CODM uses gross profit and operating income in the budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-current forecast and prior forecast-to-current forecast variances for gross profit and operating income for evaluating performance of the segments and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment.
The Company divides its business into
two
major geographic locations: United States operations and International, which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations. The allocation of geographic revenue is based upon the location of the custo
mer. The Company’s International operations in Europe, the Americas (excluding the United States), the Middle East and Asia accounted for
33.6
%,
10.9
%,
7.7
% and
6.3
%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025.
For the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company’s International operations in Europe, the Americas (excluding the United States), the Middle East and Asia accounted for
32.7
%,
10.2
%,
8.2
% and
7.6
%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and those significant policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and contained in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The preparation of these financial statements and the application of certain critical accounting policies require management to make judgments based on estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales discounts and markdowns, product returns, bad debt, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairments of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources on historical experience, contractual commitments and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company's most critical accounting policies have been discussed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. As of April 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to any of the Company's critical accounting policies.
Overview
The Company conducts its business in two operating segments: Watch and Accessory Brands and Company Stores. The Company’s Watch and Accessory Brands segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches and, to a lesser extent, jewelry and other accessories, of owned and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Company Stores segment includes the Company’s retail outlet business in the United States and Canada. The Company also operates in two major geographic locations: United States and International, the latter of which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations.
The Company divides its watch and accessory business into two principal categories: the owned brands category and the licensed brands category. The owned brands category consists of the Movado®, Concord®, EBEL®, Olivia Burton® and MVMT® brands. Products in the licensed brands category include the following brands manufactured and distributed under license agreements with the respective brand owners: Coach®, Tommy Hilfiger®, Hugo Boss®, Lacoste® and Calvin Klein®.
Gross margins vary among the brands included in the Company’s portfolio and also among watch models within each brand. Watches in the Company’s owned brands category generally earn higher gross margin percentages than watches in the licensed brands category. The difference in gross margin percentages within the licensed brands category is primarily due to the impact of royalty payments made on the licensed brands. Gross margins in the Company’s e-commerce business generally earn higher gross margin percentages than those of the traditional wholesale business. Gross margins in the Company’s outlet business are affected by the mix of product sold and may exceed those of the wholesale business since the Company earns margins on its outlet store sales from manufacture to point of sale to the consumer.
Recent Developments and Initiatives
Tariffs
Most of the bands used in the production of the Company’s traditional watches, as well as most of the Company’s jewelry, are made in China and have been subject to a U.S. special 7.5% tariff since February 2020. In April 2025, the United States government imposed a baseline special tariff of 10% on products from all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including special incremental tariffs of 31% on Swiss goods and 24% on Japanese goods. Later in April, the United States government implemented a 90-day pause on the country-specific tariffs for all countries except China, while maintaining the 10% baseline tariff. The special 10% tariff applies to substantially all other products imported by the Company, including all Swiss watches as well as all watch heads (i.e., the entirety of a watch other than the watch band) produced in the Far East (which generally have Japanese movements and are therefore considered products of Japan for U.S. customs purposes). These actions are expected to increase the Company’s cost of sales. However, the Company is developing plans to lessen the impact of these tariffs, including select price increases at the wholesale and retail levels, as well as possible operational changes that could result in a change in the country of origin for certain of the Company’s products.
25
In May 2025, the United States government announced a 90-day pause on most recent tariffs on Chinese imports, reducing the combined tariff on such imports from 145% to 30% during this period. Together with the special tariffs applicable to Chinese products implemented in 2018, the special tariffs on Chinese products implemented in 2025 have increased the total U.S. special tariff on Chinese packaging materials to 55% and on Chinese watch bands and jewelry to 37.5%.
If the paused reciprocal tariffs on Chinese, Swiss, Japanese and other countries’ goods were to go into effect, the Company would incur substantial additional increases in its cost of sales, and sales volumes into the United States would likely decline.
Cost-Savings Initiative
During fiscal year 2025, in light of the ongoing challenging consumer-spending environment, the Company committed to a cost-savings initiative to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, bringing them more in line with sales. As a result of this initiative, during fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded $4.6 million in accruals for severance and employee-related charges and early lease termination charges and an additional $0.6 million was recorded in accruals for severance and employee-related charges during the first three months of fiscal year 2026. Of the total amount recorded, $1.3 million was paid related to severance and employee related charges during fiscal year 2025, and $1.0 million paid related to severance and employee-related charges during the first three months of fiscal year 2026, with the balance expected to be paid during the remainder of fiscal year 2026. The Company expects go-forward annual savings from the cost-savings initiatives of approximately $10.0 million.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law by President Biden. Among other things, the IR Act implemented a 1% excise tax on the fair market stock repurchases by covered corporations, a 15% minimum tax based on adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporations, and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the IR Act and its potential impact on future periods, to date, the IR Act has not had a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") has issued Pillar Two model rules implementing a new global minimum tax of 15%, which was intended to be effective on January 1, 2024. While several countries have adopted and enacted changes to their legislation in response to Pillar Two, in January 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order announcing the United States’ opposition to aspects of these rules. The Company's revenue currently does not meet the minimum requirements that were set by OECD inclusive framework and rules. Although the Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the enactments of Pillar Two, to the extent that Pillar Two becomes applicable, the Company does not expect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 were $131.8 million, representing a $2.6 million or 1.9% decrease from the prior year period. For the three months ended April 30, 2025, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales by $1.2 million when compared to the prior year period. Excluding this $1.2 million impact, net sales would have decreased by 1.0% as compared to the prior year period.
Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $114.8 million, below the prior year period by $2.3 million, or 2.0%. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix, with a decrease in net sales recorded in the owned brands category of $6.8 million, or 17.0%, partially offset by an increase in net sales recorded in the licensed brands category of $6.2 million, or 8.3%, and the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
United States Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 in the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $38.6 million, below the prior year period by $0.5 million, or 1.4%, resulting primarily from unfavorable sales mix. The net sales recorded in the owned brands category decreased $3.7 million, or 12.5%, partially offset by an increase in net sales recorded in the licensed brands category of $3.2 million, or 37.0%.
27
International Watch and Accessory Brands Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 in the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment were $76.2 million, below the prior year by $1.8 million, or 2.3%, which included fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that negatively impacted net sales by $1.2 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix and the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The net sales decrease recorded in the owned brands category was $3.1 million, or 29.5%, due to net sales decreases across all regions. The net sales increase recorded in the licensed brands category was $3.0 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to net sales increases in Europe, the Middle East and the Americas (excluding the United States), partially offset by a net sales decrease in Asia.
Company Stores Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 in the Company Stores segment were $17.0 million, $0.3 million or 1.7% below the prior year period. The net sales decrease was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix in the Company stores, partially offset by a new store opening. The net sales related to the Company's online outlet store at www.movadocompanystore.com were relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. As of April 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company operated 56 and 55 retail outlet locations, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $71.4 million or 54.1% of net sales as compared to $72.9 million or 54.3% of net sales in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit of $1.5 million was due to lower net sales combined with a lower gross margin percentage. The decrease in the gross margin percentage of approximately 20 basis points for the three months ended April 30, 2025 reflected a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of approximately 100 basis points, approximately 30 basis points due to increased shipping costs and the decreased leveraging of certain fixed costs as a result of lower sales of approximately 20 basis points, partially offset by the favorable impact of sales mix of approximately 130 basis points.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2025 were $71.1 million, representing an increase from the prior year period of $0.3 million, or 0.4%. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the following factors: a $2.7 million increase in foreign exchange losses mainly due to a highly volatile foreign currency environment and an increase in performance-based compensation of $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in payroll related expense of $2.4 million (which included severance costs of $0.6 million related to the cost-savings initiative discussed above under "Recent Developments and Initiatives") and lower marketing expense of $1.2 million. For the three months ended April 30, 2025, fluctuations in foreign currency rates related to the foreign subsidiaries unfavorably impacted SG&A expenses by $1.5 million when compared to the prior year period.
Watch and Accessory Brands Operating Loss/Income
For the three months ended April 30, 2025 the Company recorded operating loss of less than $0.1 million in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which includes $8.0 million of unallocated corporate expenses as well as $14.0 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded operating income of $1.7 million in the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included $9.5 million of unallocated corporate expenses as well as $14.2 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. The $1.7 million change in operating income/loss was the result of a decrease in gross profit of $1.2 million combined with higher SG&A expenses of $0.5 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was the result of lower net sales while the gross margin percentage remained flat with a negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, increased shipping costs and the decreased leveraging of certain fixed costs as a result of lower sales, offset by the favorable impact of sales mix. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the following factors: a $2.7 million increase in foreign exchange losses mainly due to a highly volatile foreign currency environment and an increase in performance-based compensation of $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in payroll related expense of $2.3 million (which included severance costs of $0.6 million related to the cost-savings initiative) and lower marketing expense of $1.0 million.
U.S. Watch and Accessory Brands Operating Loss
In the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, for the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recorded operating loss of $7.0 million which includes unallocated corporate expenses of $8.0 million. For the three months ended April 30, 2024 the Company recorded an operating loss of $8.1 million in the United States locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included unallocated corporate expenses of $9.5 million. The decrease in operating loss was the result of a decrease in gross profit of $3.3 million offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses of $4.4 million when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit of $3.3 million was the result of lower net sales combined with a lower gross margin percentage primarily due to the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the following factors: a decrease in payroll related expenses of $1.7 million, a decrease in information technology related charges of $1.0 million and lower
28
marketing expenses of $0.8 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in performance-based compensation of $0.8 million.
International Watch and Accessory Brands Operating Income
In the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment, for the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recorded operating income of $7.0 million which includes $14.0 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s International supply chain operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2024 the Company recorded operating income of $9.8 million in the International locations of the Watch and Accessory Brands segment which included $14.2 million of certain intercompany profits related to the Company’s supply chain operations. The decrease in operating income was the result of higher gross profit of $2.1 million offset by higher SG&A expenses of $4.9 million. The increase in gross profit of $2.1 million was primarily the result of a higher gross margin percentage primarily due to a favorable impact of sales mix and the positive impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased shipping costs and the decreased leveraging of certain fixed costs as a result of lower sales. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the following factors: a $2.7 million increase in foreign exchange losses mainly due to a highly volatile foreign currency environment, an increase in information technology related charges of $0.9 million and an increase in performance-based compensation of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in payroll related expense (which included severance costs of $0.6 million related to the cost-savings initiative) of $0.6 million and lower marketing expense of $0.2 million.
Company Stores Operating Income
The Company recorded operating income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the Company Stores segment for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating income of $0.2 million was primarily related to a decrease in gross profit of $0.4 million, mainly due to lower sales combined with a lower gross margin percentage, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses of $0.2 million primarily due to lower marketing expenses. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company Stores segment operated 56 and 55 retail outlet locations, respectively.
Other Non-Operating Income, net
The Company recorded other income, net of $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to interest income.
Interest Expense

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 34.0% and 48.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to changes in valuation allowances against certain foreign losses and a limitation on a portion of the foreign tax credits and deductions related to the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), partially offset by excess tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation and changes in jurisdictional earnings.
Net Income Attributable to Movado Group, Inc.
The Company recorded net income attributable to Movado Group, Inc. of $1.4 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

29
At April 30, 2025 the Company had working capital of $385.5 million as compared to $398.5 million at April 30, 2024. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of a decrease in cash and an increase in accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in inventories. The Company defines working capital as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
The Company had $7.2 million of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to $18.1 million of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2025 included a $26.7 million increase in investment in inventories primarily due to timing of receipts. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 30 2025 included a $9.6 million decrease in trade receivables due to timing of receipts and change in sales mix during the quarter and decreases in net payments related to taxes, other current assets, accrued liabilities, accrued payroll and benefits and accounts payable totaling $5.5 million primarily due to timing. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2024 included net income of $2.1 million, positively adjusted by $3.5 million related to non-cash items. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2024 included a $15.7 million increase in investment in inventories primarily due to timing of receipts to align with sales levels and net tax related payments of $9.1 million primarily due to timing.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

The Company and its U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement originally dated October 12, 2018 (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) and has a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The Facility includes a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $25.0 million swingline subfacility and a $75.0 million sublimit for borrowings by the Swiss Borrower, with provisions for uncommitted increases to the Facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).
The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower, except that the Swiss Borrower is not liable for, nor does it guarantee, the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers' obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the U.S. Borrowers' assets other than certain excluded assets. The Swiss Borrower does not provide collateral to secure the obligations under the Facility.
As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, there were no amounts of loans outstanding under the Facility. Availability under the Facility was reduced by the aggregate number of letters of credit outstanding, issued in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada, totaling approximately $0.3 million at both April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024. At April 30, 2025, the letters of credit have expiration dates through June 2, 2025. As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, availability under the Facility was $99.7 million. For additional information regarding the Facility, see Note 6 - Debt and Lines of Credit to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company had weighted average borrowings under the Facility of zero during both the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company's Swiss subsidiary maintains unsecured lines of credit with a Swiss bank that are subject to repayment upon demand. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of $7.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2025 and 2024, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries
30
in the dollar equivalent of $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.8 million for both periods, was a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.
Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was $0.1 million for both the three month periods ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024, respectively.
From time to time the Company may make minority investments in growth companies in the consumer products sector and other sectors relevant to its business, including certain of the Company's suppliers and customers, as well as in venture capital funds that invest in companies in media, entertainment, information technology and technology-related fields and in digital assets. During fiscal 2022, the Company committed to invest up to $21.5 million in such investments. The Company funded approximately $14.1 million of these commitments through fiscal 2025 and an additional $1.3 million during the first three months of fiscal 2026 and may be called upon to satisfy capital calls in respect of the remaining $6.2 million in such commitments at any time during a period generally ending ten years after the first capital call in respect of a given commitment.
During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company has declared a cash dividend of $0.35 per share for $7.8 million, payable on May 6, 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share for $7.8 million. Although the Company currently expects to continue to declare cash dividends in the future, the decision of whether to declare any future cash dividend, including the amount of any such dividend and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be determined, in each quarter, by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.
On November 23, 2021, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 23, 2024, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. On December 5, 2024, the Board approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through December 5, 2027, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. These repurchases may be made through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 39,000 shares of its common stock under the November 23, 2021 share repurchase program at a total cost of $1.1 million, or an average of $27.85 per share. At April 30, 2025, $50.0 million remains available for purchase under the Company's December 5, 2024 repurchase program.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat
ive Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposure relates to foreign currency exchange risk (see Note 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements). A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are denominated in Swiss Francs and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese Yen. The Company also sells to third-party customers in a variety of foreign currencies, most notably the Euro, Swiss Franc and the British Pound. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss Franc, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen exchange rate risk through a hedging program. Under the hedging program, the Company manages most of its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows it to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In the event these exposures do not offset, from time to time the Company uses various derivative financial instruments to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations, predominately forward and option contracts. Certain of these contracts meet the requirements of qualified hedges. In these circumstances, the Company designates and documents these derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of hedges designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and which are highly effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and then are later reclassified into earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. The earnings impact is mostly offset by the effects of currency movements on the underlying hedged transactions. To the extent that the Company does not engage in a hedging program, any change in the Swiss Franc, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen exchange rates to local currency would have an equal effect on the Company’s earnings.
31
From time to time the Company uses forward exchange contracts, which do not meet the requirements of qualified hedges, to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency receivables and liabilities. These forward contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect resulting from the revaluation of the related foreign currency receivables and liabilities.
As of April 30, 2025, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 24.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 30.5 million U.S. dollars equivalent, 34.6 million Euros equivalent (including 24.0 million Euros designated as cash flow hedges) and 1.3 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through October 10, 2025, compared to a portfolio of 2.8 million Chinese Yuan equivalent, 22.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 22.2 million U.S. dollars equivalent, 18.2 million Euros equivalent (including 6.0 million Euros designated as cash flow hedges) and 1.2 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through October 3, 2024, as of April 30, 2024. If the Company were to settle its Swiss Franc forward contracts at April 30, 2025, the result would be a $1.3 million gain. If the Company were to settle its Euro forward contracts at April 30, 2025, the result would be a $1.3 million loss. As of April 30, 2025, the Company’s British Pound, Chinese Yuan and US Dollar forward contracts had no gain or loss.
Commodity Risk
The Company considers its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices to be primarily related to gold used in the manufacturing of the Company’s watches. Under its hedging program, the Company can purchase various commodity derivative instruments, primarily futures contracts. When held, these derivatives are documented as qualified cash flow hedges, and the resulting gains and losses on these derivative instruments are first reflected in other comprehensive income, and later reclassified into earnings, partially offset by the effects of gold market price changes on the underlying actual gold purchases. The Company did not hold any future contracts in its gold hedge portfolio as of April 30, 2025 and 2024; thus, any changes in the gold purchase price will have an equal effect on the Company’s cost of sales.
Debt and Interest Rate Risk
Floating rate debt at April 30, 2025 and 2024 was zero for both periods. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company had no weighted average borrowings. The Company does not hedge these interest rate risks.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, it should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met and may not prevent all errors or instances of fraud.
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, wherein the Company’s risk assessment process did not properly assess the risks associated with the lack of functional segregation of duties in the Dubai branch of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary. This material weakness is more fully described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
Remediation Plan
Management is in the process of implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness, which includes enhancing the Company’s risk assessment and oversight processes; making changes in personnel and reporting lines; and increasing policy awareness and compliance training. During the quarter ended April 30, 2025, management made significant personnel changes in the Dubai branch, including terminating the now former managing director of the branch; switching from regional to functional lines of reporting for certain sales and customer operations positions; and executing awareness campaigns to reinforce the importance of ethical conduct and the reporting of violations. Additional time is required to test the operating effectiveness of these controls and to complete the design, implementation, and testing of other controls needed to remediate the material weakness. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
32
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as set forth above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended April 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
33
PART II – OTHE
R INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.
In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputed the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would imply $5.1 million in underpaid duties for all imports that entered the United States during the audit period which extended from August 1, 2011 through July 15, 2016, plus possible penalties and interest. Although the Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate were not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and consistently disputed U.S. Customs’ position, the Company previously established reserves for a portion of the alleged underpayment indicated in the audit report. Between February 2017 and January 2021, the Company made numerous submissions to U.S. Customs containing supplemental analyses and information in response to U.S. Customs’ information requests. On May 1, 2023, the statute of limitations lapsed with respect to all entries encompassed by the audit period. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company released the reserves that it had established in respect of those entries.
In addition to the above matters, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Ri
sk Factors
As of April 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to any of the risk factors previously reported in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equi
ty Securities and Use of Proceeds
On December 5, 2024, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through December 5, 2027, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. Under the share repurchase program, the Company is permitted to purchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.
At the election of an employee, upon the vesting of a stock award or the exercise of a stock option, shares of common stock having an aggregate value on the vesting of the award or the exercise date of the option, as the case may be, equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company by netting them from the vested shares issued. Similarly, shares having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of an option may be tendered to the Company in payment of the option exercise price and netted from the shares of common stock issued upon the option exercise. An aggregate of 27,084 shares were repurchased during the three months ended April 30, 2025 as a result of the surrender of shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards or stock options.
