Gross profit rose to $130.8 million and gross margin expanded 490 basis points to 62.4%, driven by improved product margins, full‑price selling, sourcing initiatives and lower tariffs.

Net loss widened to $10.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share; adjusted net loss was $7.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

Fossil ended the quarter with $79.0 million in cash, $96.6 million in total liquidity and $203.0 million of total debt. According to the company, full‑year 2026 guidance has been raised, now calling for worldwide net sales to decline 3%–5%, adjusted operating margin of 4%–6% and positive free cash flow.

Key Terms

constant currency, adjusted ebitda, non-gaap financial measures, asset-based revolving credit facility
4 terms
constant currency financial
"constant currency adjusted operating income of $9 million"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $8.6 million, or 4.1% of net sales"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"Amounts referred to as “adjusted” as well as “constant currency” are non-GAAP financial measures."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
asset-based revolving credit facility financial
"availability under its asset-based revolving credit facility"
A loan arrangement where a lender agrees to make funds available up to a set limit that a borrower can draw, repay, and draw again, with the amount available tied to the value of specific assets (like inventory, receivables, or equipment) pledged as collateral. It matters to investors because it provides flexible working capital while limiting risk exposure: the company can fund growth or cover shortfalls quickly, but borrowing capacity can shrink if asset values fall.

Second quarter worldwide net sales totaled $210 million

Gross margin expanded 490 basis points to 62.4%

Second quarter operating income of $3 million and operating margin of 2%; constant currency adjusted operating income of $9 million and constant currency adjusted operating margin of 4%

Raises full year 2026 financial outlook

RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 4, 2026.

“We delivered another quarter ahead of our expectations, driven by broad-based strength across our core brands, channels and many of our key geographies,” said Franco Fogliato, CEO. “Top line performance, gross margin expansion and disciplined cost management fueled a doubling of constant currency adjusted operating income compared to the second quarter of last year, demonstrating continuing progress under our turnaround plan and the underlying strength of our operating model.”

“Strong business performance in the first half of 2026 and ongoing business momentum are enabling us to confidently raise our full year financial outlook, which is highlighted by an expected return to top line growth in the fourth quarter, improved profitability and positive free cash flow generation. It is clear that our evolution to a brand-led, consumer-focused operating model - combined with healthy watch industry fundamentals - is positioning us to deliver long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results

Amounts referred to as “adjusted” as well as “constant currency” are non-GAAP financial measures.   Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their closest reported GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

  • Net sales totaled $209.7 million, a decrease of 4.9% on a reported basis and 4.4% in constant currency, compared to $220.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The sales decrease was driven by the direct to consumer channels, with our store rationalization initiatives comprising approximately 220 basis points of the sales decline in the second quarter. From a regional view in constant currency, Europe net sales decreased 18.2%, Asia increased 3.7% and the Americas increased 0.2%. Wholesale sales in constant currency increased 0.9%, while our direct to consumer sales decreased 14.6%. Within our direct to consumer channels, which include e-commerce and Fossil retail stores, comparable retail sales declined 8%. In our major product categories, traditional watch sales decreased 0.9% in constant currency in the second quarter compared to the prior year period. The leathers category decreased 31.4% and jewelry sales declined 11.3% in constant currency during the second quarter.

  • Gross profit totaled $130.8 million compared to $126.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased 490 basis points to 62.4% versus 57.5% in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects improved product margins in our core categories driven by benefits from our full price selling model, sourcing initiatives and reduced tariffs. This increase was partially offset by the accelerated timing of licensed brand minimum royalty recognition as compared to the prior year.

  • Operating expenses totaled $127.6 million, an increase of 7.9% compared to $118.2 million a year ago. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 60.8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 53.7% in the prior year second quarter. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 included $3.4 million of restructuring costs, primarily related to professional services and employee costs, while operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 included $7.3 million of restructuring costs. SG&A expenses were $123.5 million, an increase of 11.3% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an $11 million gain on the sale of our European warehouse in the prior year second quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 58.9% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 50.3% in the prior year second quarter.

  • Operating income (loss) was $3.2 million compared to $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Operating margin was 1.5% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 3.9% in the prior year second quarter. Constant currency adjusted operating income totaled $8.6 million compared to adjusted operating income of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Constant currency adjusted operating margin was 4.1% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to adjusted operating margin of 2.0% in the prior year second quarter.

  • Interest expense was $8.3 million compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 due to increased debt issuance cost amortization, higher debt balances and increased interest rates.

  • Other income (expense) was an expense of $1.8 million compared to an expense of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting increased net currency losses in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior year second quarter.

  • Income (loss) before income taxes was $(6.9) million compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2025.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $8.6 million, or 4.1% of net sales in the second quarter of 2026 and $7.0 million, or 3.2% of net sales in the prior year quarter.

  • Provision (benefit) for income taxes was an expense of $3.7 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (54.2)% compared to an expense of $6.2 million and an effective tax rate of 150.9% in the prior year. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2026 differed from the prior year second quarter primarily due to a change in the Company’s global mix of earnings.

  • Net loss totaled $10.6 million with net loss per diluted share of $0.18, which compares to net loss of $2.3 million and net loss per diluted share of $0.04 in the prior year second quarter. Adjusted net loss was $7.9 million for the second quarter with adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.13 compared to adjusted net loss of $5.6 million with adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.10 in the prior year second quarter.  

Balance Sheet Summary

As of July 4, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $96.6 million, including $79.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $17.6 million of availability under its asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL"). Inventories at the end of the second quarter of 2026 totaled $177.9 million, approximately flat compared to a year ago. Total debt was $203.0 million.

Financial Outlook

The Company is raising financial guidance for the full year 2026 to reflect the strength of year-to-date results and continuing progress under its turnaround plan.

  • Worldwide net sales to decline 3% to 5%, with a return to growth in the fourth quarter
  • Adjusted operating margin(1) in the range of 4% to 6%
  • Positive free cash flow(2)

Worldwide net sales and adjusted operating margin guidance exclude impacts from foreign currency.

(1) A reconciliation of adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, to a corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility of certain income and expense items that are excluded in calculating adjusted operating margin.

(2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as net cash from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. A corresponding reconciliation of free cash flow to a corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.

Conference Call Information

Fossil Group will host a conference call to discuss these results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, August 12, 2026. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the investor relations section of Fossil Group’s website at https://www.fossilgroup.com/investors and will also be archived for replay.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Constant Currency Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Constant currency adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before the impact of income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense, amortization and depreciation, impairment expense, other non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt, minus interest income, gain on sale of subsidiary, gains on asset divestitures and IEEPA refund claims for tariffs incurred in the prior year. We define Adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense, restructuring expense, gains on asset divestitures and IEEPA refund claims for tariffs incurred in the prior year. We define Constant currency adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense, restructuring expense, gains on asset divestitures and IEEPA refund claims for tariffs incurred in the prior year and excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We define Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share as net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, before impairment expense, restructuring expense, gain on sale of subsidiary, gains on asset divestitures, IEEPA refund claims for tariffs incurred in the prior year and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share herein because they are widely used by investors for valuation and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of our competitors. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are not intended to be used as alternatives to any measure of our performance in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is income (loss) before income taxes. Certain line items presented in the tables below, when aggregated, may not foot due to rounding.
