Guess? (NYSE: GES) reported Q3 EPS of $0.62, $0.17 better than the analyst estimate of $0.45. Revenue for the quarter came in at $643 million versus the consensus estimate of $611.3 million.

Outlook:

Given the current circumstances regarding the coronavirus (or “COVID-19”) crisis and its uncertain impact on our operations, we are not providing detailed guidance for the fourth quarter or the full fiscal year ending January 29, 2022. We expect revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to be down mid-single digits versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 as the impact of permanent store closures and an unfavorable shift of European wholesale shipments from the fourth quarter into the first quarter of next year are partially offset by continued momentum in our global e-commerce business.

For the full fiscal year 2022, assuming no increased COVID-related shutdowns from current levels (approximately 1% of our directly operated stores), we expect revenues to be down low-single digits versus fiscal 2020 and operating margin to reach approximately 11.0%. These comparisons are versus the pre-pandemic periods from two fiscal years prior in order to provide a more normalized comparison.

A reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for GAAP operating margin to adjusted operating margin for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending January 29, 2022 is as follows:
