GUIDANCE:

Movado Group sees FY2022 revenue of $650-665 million, versus the consensus of $635.9 million.

• While the Company continues to see the negative impact of COVID-19 related store closures and restrictions on consumer mobility across several regions including Europe and Latin America, its operations in other parts of the world have benefited from the relaxation of restrictions which, along with the continued strength in ecommerce, has contributed to its strong first quarter performance. The Company remains hopeful that more markets will reopen as more people become vaccinated. Taking these factors into account, the Company currently expects fiscal 2022 net sales in a range of approximately $650 million to $665 million, gross profit of approximately 54% to 55% of net sales and operating profit in a range of 10% to 11% of net sales. Assuming no changes to the current tax rules, the Company anticipates a 25% effective tax rate for the fiscal year. The outlook excludes approximately $3.0 million of amortization of the acquired intangible assets and deferred compensation for fiscal 2022 related to the Olivia Burton and MVMT brands. The Company's outlook assumes no further significant fluctuations from prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.
