Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Fossil Group (FOSL) reported a weaker top line but improving operating results for the quarter ended July 5, 2025. Consolidated net sales fell 15.2% versus the prior-year quarter (15.8% in constant currency), driven by declines across all regions, a 29.0% drop in direct-to-consumer sales and a 22.9% decline in global comparable retail sales as the Company reduced its store base. Operating income improved to $8.5 million from an operating loss of $34.0 million a year earlier; operating margin was 3.9% versus (13.1)% previously. Tariff headwinds reduced gross margin by about 80 basis points in the quarter. The Company is pursuing a Turnaround Plan to realize ~$100 million in SG&A savings in 2025, expects ~$50 million of related charges (with ~$7 million incurred in 2024), and has closed 34 stores YTD with 10–15 more planned. Debt and liquidity actions include $150 million of 7.00% notes outstanding, replacement of the prior revolver with a new $150 million ABL credit facility effective August 13, 2025, a Transaction Support Agreement covering a proposed exchange and new-money financing (consenting noteholders represent ~59% of notes), and the sale of a European distribution center for $23 million. The Company held approximately $104.6 million of cash offshore (95.2% of cash) and reported cumulative net losses and negative cash flow in recent periods.
Fossil Group (FOSL) ha registrato un fatturato consolidato in calo ma un miglioramento dei risultati operativi per il trimestre conclusosi il 5 luglio 2025. Le vendite nette consolidate sono diminuite del 15,2% rispetto allo stesso periodo dell'anno precedente (15,8% a valuta costante), con contrazioni in tutte le regioni: le vendite direct-to-consumer sono scese del 29,0% e le vendite comparabili globali al dettaglio del 22,9% poiché la Società ha ridotto la sua rete di negozi. L'utile operativo è migliorato a $8,5 milioni rispetto a una perdita operativa di $34,0 milioni un anno prima; il margine operativo è stato del 3,9% rispetto al (13,1)% precedente. I dazi hanno ridotto il margine lordo di circa 80 punti base nel trimestre. La Società sta attuando un Turnaround Plan per ottenere circa $100 milioni di risparmi su SG&A nel 2025, prevede circa $50 milioni di oneri correlati (con ~$7 milioni già sostenuti nel 2024) e ha chiuso 34 negozi da inizio anno, con altri 10–15 pianificati. Le azioni su debito e liquidità comprendono $150 milioni di obbligazioni al 7,00% in circolazione, la sostituzione della precedente linea revolving con una nuova struttura ABL da $150 milioni effettiva dal 13 agosto 2025, un Transaction Support Agreement che copre una proposta di scambio e finanziamento nuovo (i detentori di titoli consenzienti rappresentano circa il 59% delle obbligazioni) e la vendita di un centro distributivo europeo per $23 milioni. La Società deteneva circa $104,6 milioni di liquidità offshore (95,2% della liquidità) e ha riportato perdite nette cumulative e flussi di cassa negativi nei periodi recenti.
Fossil Group (FOSL) informó ingresos consolidados más débiles pero una mejora en los resultados operativos para el trimestre cerrado el 5 de julio de 2025. Las ventas netas consolidadas cayeron un 15,2% respecto al mismo trimestre del año anterior (15,8% en moneda constante), con descensos en todas las regiones: las ventas directas al consumidor disminuyeron un 29,0% y las ventas minoristas comparables globales un 22,9% a medida que la Compañía redujo su red de tiendas. El ingreso operativo mejoró hasta $8,5 millones desde una pérdida operativa de $34,0 millones un año antes; el margen operativo fue del 3,9% frente al (13,1)% previo. Los aranceles redujeron el margen bruto en aproximadamente 80 puntos básicos en el trimestre. La Compañía está ejecutando un Turnaround Plan para lograr alrededor de $100 millones en ahorros de SG&A en 2025, espera aproximadamente $50 millones en cargos relacionados (con ~$7 millones incurridos en 2024) y ha cerrado 34 tiendas en lo que va de año, con otras 10–15 planificadas.

La Compañía mantenía aproximadamente $104,6 millones en efectivo en el extranjero (95,2% del efectivo) y reportó pérdidas netas acumuladas y flujos de caja negativos en periodos recientes.
Fossil Group (FOSL)는 2025년 7월 5일로 마감된 분기에 매출은 약화됐으나 영업실적은 개선되었다고 발표했습니다. 연결 순매출은 전년 동기 대비 15.2% 감소(환율을 고정하면 15.8% 감소)했으며, 전 지역에서 감소했고 직접 소비자 판매는 29.0% 급감, 전 세계 비교 소매 매출은 22.9% 감소했습니다. 이는 회사가 점포 수를 축소한 영향입니다. 영업이익은 $8.5 million으로 전년도의 $34.0 million 영업손실에서 개선되었고, 영업이익률은 이전의 (13.1)%에서 3.9%로 회복되었습니다. 관세 영향으로 당분기 총이익률은 약 80 베이시스 포인트 악화되었습니다. 회사는 2025년에 약 $100 million의 SG&A 절감을 목표로 하는 Turnaround Plan을 추진 중이며, 관련 충당금으로 약 $50 million을 예상(2024년에 약 $7 million 발생)하고, 연초 이후 34개 점포를 폐점했으며 추가로 10–15개를 계획하고 있습니다. 부채 및 유동성 관련 조치로는 7.00%의 $150 million 채권 유지, 기존 리볼버를 대체한 새로운 $150 million ABL 신용시설(2025년 8월 13일 발효), 제안된 교환 및 신규 자금 조달을 다루는 Transaction Support Agreement(동의한 채권자 비율 약 59%), 유럽 물류센터 매각으로 $23 million 확보 등이 있습니다. 회사는 약 $104.6 million의 현금을 해외에 보유(현금의 95.2%)하고 있으며 최근 기간에 누적 순손실과 부정적 현금흐름을 보고했습니다.
Fossil Group (FOSL) a annoncé des ventes consolidées en repli mais une amélioration des résultats opérationnels pour le trimestre clos le 5 juillet 2025. Les ventes nettes consolidées ont diminué de 15,2% par rapport au trimestre de l'année précédente (15,8% en devise constante), avec des baisses dans toutes les régions : les ventes directes aux consommateurs ont chuté de 29,0% et les ventes comparables mondiales au détail de 22,9% alors que la Société réduisait son parc de magasins. Le résultat d'exploitation s'est amélioré à $8,5 millions contre une perte d'exploitation de $34,0 millions un an plus tôt ; la marge d'exploitation était de 3,9% contre (13,1)% précédemment. Les droits de douane ont réduit la marge brute d'environ 80 points de base au cours du trimestre. La Société met en œuvre un Turnaround Plan visant à réaliser environ $100 millions d'économies SG&A en 2025, prévoit environ $50 millions de charges connexes (dont ~$7 millions engagés en 2024) et a fermé 34 magasins depuis le début de l'année, 10–15 supplémentaires étant prévus. Les mesures sur la dette et la liquidité comprennent $150 millions de billets à 7,00% en circulation, le remplacement de l'ancienne ligne revolver par une nouvelle facilité de crédit ABL de $150 millions effective le 13 août 2025, un Transaction Support Agreement portant sur un échange proposé et un financement new-money (les porteurs consentants représentent environ 59% des billets), et la vente d'un centre de distribution européen pour $23 millions. La Société détenait environ $104,6 millions de trésorerie offshore (95,2% de la trésorerie) et a déclaré des pertes nettes cumulées et des flux de trésorerie négatifs ces derniers temps.
Fossil Group (FOSL) meldete für das Quartal zum 5. Juli 2025 einen schwächeren Umsatz, jedoch verbesserte operative Ergebnisse. Die konsolidierten Nettoumsätze sanken im Vergleich zum Vorjahresquartal um 15,2% (in konstanter Währung 15,8%), getrieben von Rückgängen in allen Regionen: Direktumsätze zum Verbraucher fielen um 29,0% und die global vergleichbaren Einzelhandelsumsätze um 22,9%, da das Unternehmen sein Filialnetz verkleinert hat. Das operative Ergebnis stieg auf $8,5 Millionen gegenüber einem operativen Verlust von $34,0 Millionen im Vorjahr; die operative Marge lag bei 3,9% gegenüber (13,1)% zuvor. Zollbelastungen verringerten die Bruttomarge im Quartal um etwa 80 Basispunkte. Das Unternehmen verfolgt einen Turnaround-Plan, um 2025 rund $100 Millionen an SG&A-Einsparungen zu realisieren, erwartet rund $50 Millionen an damit verbundenen Aufwendungen (wobei ~$7 Millionen bereits 2024 angefallen sind) und hat bisher 34 Filialen geschlossen, weitere 10–15 sind geplant. Maßnahmen zu Verschuldung und Liquidität umfassen $150 Millionen an 7,00%-Anleihen, die Ablösung des vorherigen Revolvers durch eine neue $150 Millionen ABL-Kreditfazilität mit Wirkung zum 13. August 2025, eine Transaction Support Agreement für einen vorgeschlagenen Tausch und Neu-Finanzierung (zustimmende Gläubiger repräsentieren etwa 59% der Anleihen) sowie den Verkauf eines europäischen Distributionszentrums für $23 Millionen. Das Unternehmen hielt etwa $104,6 Millionen an Offshore-Barmitteln (95,2% des Bargeldbestands) und berichtete in jüngeren Perioden kumulative Nettoverluste und negative Cashflows.
Positive
- Operating income turned positive at $8.5 million versus an operating loss of $34.0 million in the prior-year quarter
- Gross margin strength: above 50% in FY2024 and just below 60% for the first half of 2025
- Turnaround Plan: targeted ~$100 million SG&A savings in 2025 and ongoing cost-reduction actions (store closures, workforce reductions)
- Liquidity actions: sale of European distribution center for $23 million and a new $150 million ABL credit facility executed to replace the prior revolver
- Debt restructuring framework: Transaction Support Agreement in place with consenting noteholders representing ~59% of Notes, including new-money financing options
Negative
- Significant revenue decline: consolidated net sales down 15.2% for the quarter and 11.9% YTD with broad weakness across regions and channels
- Direct-to-consumer and comparable sales pressure: DTC sales down 29.0%; global comparable retail sales down ~22–23%
- Tariff headwinds: incremental tariffs reduced gross margin by ~80 basis points in the quarter and ~40 basis points YTD
- High leverage and historical losses: reported outstanding indebtedness of approximately $181.4 million and recurring net losses/negative operating cash flow in recent periods
- Concentration of cash offshore: $104.6 million (≈95.2% of cash) held in foreign subsidiaries, which may limit near-term U.S. liquidity
Insights
TL;DR: Sales weakness is broad and deep, but operating leverage and restructuring are starting to show margin improvement; tariffs and store closures press volumes.
Fossil's quarter shows meaningful top-line pressure: a 15.2% decline reflects weaker consumer demand, notable DTC deterioration (29.0%) and a ~22–23% decline in comparable retail sales. Offsetting the revenue drag, operating income swung positive to $8.5 million, reflecting cost reductions and prior-year impairments now lapping. The Turnaround Plan targets ~ $100 million in SG&A savings in 2025 and anticipates ~$50 million of charges in total; execution of these initiatives will determine sustainability of margins. Tariffs materially weighed on margins (~80 bps Q), and the company remains exposed to trade policy volatility. Liquidity steps (sale of a European DC, new $150M ABL facility) improve runway but debt and cash repatriation constraints remain key risks.
TL;DR: Balance sheet actions are significant: new secured ABL, note restructuring support and potential new-money financing materially reshape capital structure.
The August 13, 2025 ABL Credit Agreement provides a $150 million asset-based revolver with a 2030 maturity, improving secured liquidity availability versus the prior facility. The Transaction Support Agreement with consenting noteholders (≈59% of notes) contemplates out-of-court exchanges, up to $32.5M of First-Out New Money financing, issuance of warrants, and a backstop commitment. These steps, if implemented, materially change creditor priority (introducing First-Out and Second-Out notes) and dilute equity via warrants/prefunded warrants. While these are constructive for near-term liquidity, successful completion depends on noteholder participation and execution risk remains. Ongoing covenant and borrowing-base seasonality risks persist.

FOSSIL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fossil Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).
The Company’s fiscal year periodically results in a 53-week year instead of a normal 52-week year. The current fiscal year ending January 3, 2026 is a 53-week year, with the additional week being included in the first quarter. The information presented herein includes the thirteen-week period ended July 5, 2025 (“Second Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen-week period ended June 29, 2024 (“Prior Year Quarter”), and the twenty-seven week period ended July 5, 2025 ("Year To Date Period") as compared to the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2024 ("Prior Year YTD Period"). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of July 5, 2025, and the results of operations for the Second Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Year To Date Period and Prior Year YTD Period. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, as amended (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the Second Quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full fiscal year.
Business. The Company is a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Its principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, the Company has a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which its products are marketed. The Company's products are distributed globally through various distribution channels, including wholesale in countries where it has a physical presence, direct to the consumer through its retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where the Company does not maintain a physical presence. The Company's products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of its customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on its extensive range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, the Company is able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative ("SG&A"), other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of the Company's retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, and design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reduce and optimize the Company’s infrastructure and store closures. See Note 16— Restructuring for additional information on the Company’s restructuring plan.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):
| For the 13 Weeks Ended July 5, 2025 | For the 13 Weeks Ended June 29, 2024 | For the 27 Weeks Ended July 5, 2025 | For the 26 Weeks Ended June 29, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||

At the end of the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, approximately 4.0 million and 3.4 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards, respectively, were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 1.2 million and 0.6 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively.
At the end of the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year YTD Period, approximately 1.6 million and 1.7 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards, respectively, were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.2 million and 0.2 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year YTD Period, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and over 140 countries have agreed to enact a two-pillar solution to reform the international tax rules to address the challenges arising from the globalization and digitalization of the economy. "The Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules" provide a coordinated system to ensure that multinational enterprises with revenues above 750 million euro pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15% tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Many aspects of Pillar Two became effective for tax years beginning in January 2024, with certain remaining impacts to be effective in 2025. Each country must enact its own legislation to apply the Pillar Two rules. Since becoming effective, Pillar Two has not had a material impact on the Company's financial
11
results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor future developments in 2025.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the updated guidance will result in additional disaggregation of certain tax information within the Company's income tax footnote disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| Effective tax rate | % | ( | % | ( | % | % | |||||||||||||||||
The effective tax rate in the Second Quarter differed from the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to a change in the Company’s global mix of earnings. In addition, income taxes were accrued on certain income in foreign jurisdictions and no tax benefit has been accrued on the U.S. tax losses and on certain losses in other foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances previously recorded. The effective tax rate can also vary from quarter-to-quarter due to changes in the resolution of income tax audits, changes in uncertain tax positions, and changes in tax law.
On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed the budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA makes permanent many of the provisions previously enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025 and includes other changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. The changes to U.S. tax law that were enacted under the OBBBA include modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. Based on our current U.S. tax position, we note no material tax impacts as a result of the changes introduced under the OBBBA.
As of July 5, 2025, the Company's total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was $6.3 million, all of which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The Company released corresponding uncertain tax positions of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. It is reasonably expected that certain uncertain tax positions will be resolved within the next 12 month period, and if resolved favorably, it would impact the tax rate by a benefit of approximately $3.1 million, including interest.
The Company is also subject to examinations in various state and foreign jurisdictions for its 2013-2024 tax years, none of which the Company believes are significant, individually or in the aggregate. Tax audit outcomes and timing of tax audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common and Preferred Stock. The Company has 100,000,000 0.01 53,785,063 53,253,974 1,000,000 0.01 none
Common Stock Repurchase Programs. Purchases of the Company’s common stock are made from time to time pursuant to its repurchase programs, subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through the open market. Repurchased shares of common stock are recorded at cost and become authorized but unissued shares which may be issued in the future for general corporate or other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit its stock repurchase program at any time. In the event the repurchased shares are cancelled, the Company accounts for retirements by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained (deficit) earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances. The repurchase programs are conducted pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.
At July 5, 2025 and December 28, 2024, all treasury stock had been effectively retired. As of July 5, 2025, the Company had $20.0 million of repurchase authorizations remaining under its repurchase program. The Company did not
repurchase any common stock under its authorized stock repurchase plans during the Second Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Year To Date Period or Prior Year YTD Period.
7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit activity during the Second Quarter:
| Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units | Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | ||||||||||||

| Granted | ||||||||||||||
| Vested | ( | |||||||||||||
| Forfeited | ( | |||||||||||||
| Nonvested at July 5, 2025 | $ | |||||||||||||
The total fair value of restricted stock units vested was $0.6 million during the Second Quarter. Vesting of performance restricted stock units is based on the Company's stock market performance.
15
Long-Term Incentive Plans. On April 29, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2024 Plan"), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting on June 21, 2024. The 2024 Plan replaces and supersedes the previously adopted 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan. An aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's 2024 Plan.
Under the 2024 Plan, designated employees of the Company, including officers, certain contractors, and non-employee directors of the Company, are eligible to receive (i) stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted or non-restricted stock awards, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards, (vi) cash awards, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing. The 2024 Plan is administered by The Compensation and Talent Management Committee (the "Compensation Committee"). Each award issued under the 2024 Plan terminates at the time designated by the Compensation Committee, not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. The current outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units issued under the 2024 Plan predominantly have original vesting periods of three years . Time-based or performance-based stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units are predominately settled in shares of the Company's common stock. On the date of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting, each non-employee director is eligible to receive a grant of restricted stock units, in an amount determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, provided that the grant shall not exceed more than the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value of $130,000 . Any such grant shall vest 100 % on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the date of the Company's next annual stockholders meeting, provided such director is providing services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company on that date.
Inducement Grants. On September 1, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of an employee inducement award consisting of 1,500,000 restricted stock units to the new Chief Executive Officer, Franco Fogliato. The restricted stock units vest 50 % on October 15, 2025 and 50 % on October 15, 2026, subject to Mr. Fogliato's continuous employment with the Company on each vesting date.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports segment information based on the “management approach.” The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management, specifically its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments are comprised of (i) Americas, (ii) Europe and (iii) Asia. Each reportable operating segment includes sales to wholesale and distributor customers, and sales through Company-owned retail stores and e-commerce activities based on the location of the selling entity. The Americas segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Canada, Latin America and the United States. The Europe segment primarily includes sales to customers based in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Australia, greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong,
17
Macau and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Each reportable operating segment provides similar products and services.
The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income (loss). Net sales for geographic segments are based on the location of the selling entity. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Corporate includes peripheral revenue generating activities from factories and intellectual property and general corporate expenses, including certain administrative, legal, accounting, technology support costs, equity compensation costs, payroll costs attributable to executive management, brand management, product development, art, creative/product design, marketing, strategy, compliance and back office supply chain expenses that are not allocated to the various segments because they are managed at the corporate level internally. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.
The CODM uses net sales and operating income for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis for both performance measures when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses segment gross profit for evaluating pricing strategy and segment operating income to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another. The CODM does not review disaggregated assets by segment, therefore it is not presented below.

10. DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Cash Flow Hedges. Historically, the Company entered into forward contracts to manage the risk of fluctuations in global currencies that were ultimately used by non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries to settle payments of intercompany inventory transactions denominated in U.S. dollars and fluctuations in Japanese yen exchange rates that were used to settle third-party inventory component purchases by a U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary. Forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon settlement date and exchange rate. These forward contracts were designated as single cash flow hedges. Fluctuations in exchange rates will either increase or decrease the Company’s U.S. dollar equivalent cash flows from these inventory transactions, which will affect the Company’s U.S. dollar earnings. Gains or losses on the forward contracts were expected to offset these fluctuations to the extent the cash flows were hedged by the forward contracts.
For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of July 5, 2025, the Company had no outstanding forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 28, 2024, the fair value amount on a gross basis for the Company’s derivative instruments was $0.6 million and was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Hedges. The Company also periodically enters into forward contracts to manage exchange rate risks associated with certain intercompany transactions and for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment. As of July 5, 2025, and December 28, 2024 the Company did not

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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 quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
22
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
As of July 5, 2025 the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2024 (in thousands):

As of July 5, 2025, the Company's Notes (as defined in Note 15— Debt Activity), excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, were recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $150.0 million and had a fair value of approximately $103.1 million. The fair value of the Company's Notes was based on Level 1 inputs. The Company's Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 15—Debt Activity) was recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $18.0 million and a fair value of approximately $14.0 million. The fair value of the Company's Revolving Facility was based on Level 2 inputs.
During the Year to Date Period, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets with a carrying amount of $0.2 million were written down to a fair value of $0.1 million, resulting in impairment charges of $0.1 million. During the Prior Year YTD Period, ROU assets with a carrying amount of $2.5 million and property, plant and equipment-net with a carrying value of $0.3 million were written down to a fair value of $1.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $1.0 million.
The fair values of operating lease ROU assets and fixed assets related to retail stores were determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows and discount rates. Of the $0.1 million impairment expense in the Year to Date Period, $0.1 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Americas segment. Of the $1.0 million impairment expense in the Prior Year YTD Period, $0.8 million and $0.2 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Asia and Europe segments, respectively.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
14. LEASES
The Company's leases consist primarily of retail space, offices, warehouses, distribution centers, equipment and vehicles. The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at inception based on the Company's right to the economic benefits of the leased assets and its right to direct the use of the leased asset. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset, and ROU liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date adjusted for the lease term and lease country to determine the present value of the lease payments.
Some leases include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from approximately to additional years. The renewal options are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and ROU liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods. Short-term leases are
24
leases having a term of twelve months or less at inception. The Company does not record a related lease asset or liability for short-term leases. The Company has certain leases containing lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. The Company has certain lease agreements where lease payments are based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The variable portion of these lease payments is not included in the Company's lease liabilities. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant restrictions or covenants other than those that are customary in such arrangements.

16. RESTRUCTURING
In fiscal 2024, the Company announced a plan to return to profitable growth (the "Turnaround Plan"). The Turnaround Plan is centered on three key areas: (i) refocusing on the core, (ii) rightsizing the cost structure, and (iii) strengthening the balance sheet. The Company expects to achieve selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") cost savings of approximately $100 million in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 through a series of initiatives including a strategic reduction in force which occurred in late February 2025, reduced costs associated with the transition of smaller international markets to a distributor model, and the closing of underperforming retail stores. The Company closed 34 retail stores in the Year To Date Period and plans to close an additional 10 to 15 stores in the second half of fiscal year 2025. The Company will seek to identify additional cost-reduction opportunities, which may generate incremental savings in fiscal 2025. The Company estimates approximately $50 million in total charges in connection with the Turnaround Plan, with approximately $7 million incurred in fiscal 2024 and the remainder expected to be incurred during fiscal 2025.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company concluded its Transform and Grow plan ("TAG") as it transitioned to initiatives under the Turnaround Plan. TAG was launched in early 2023 to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The Company had expanded the scope and duration of TAG to focus on a more comprehensive review of its global business operations. The expansion of TAG put greater emphasis on initiatives aimed at restructuring or optimizing operations, exiting or minimizing certain product offerings, brands and distribution channels, strengthening gross margins through improvements in sourcing and improving working capital efficiency. Under the expanded TAG plan, the Company achieved annualized operating income benefits of $280 million over the two-year period.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Transaction Support Agreement
On August 13, 2025, the Company Parties entered into a Transaction Support Agreement with the Consenting Noteholders representing ownership of approximately 59 % of the aggregate principal of the Company's Notes.
The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of each of the parties thereto, including covenants that the Consenting Noteholders participate in, consent to, vote in favor of, and otherwise support, as applicable:
•A new money financing of up to $32.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9.500 % First-Out Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “First-Out Notes”) to be offered to (i) the Consenting Noteholders on a private placement basis and (ii) to holders of Notes (“Noteholders”) (other than the Consenting Noteholders) pursuant to an SEC-registered offering (together, the “New Money Financing”) , in each case pro rata (based on the face amount of their respective Notes in comparison to the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes. Noteholders that participate in the New Money Financing for their full pro rata portion of the New Money Financing will also receive Common Stock of the Company equal to 5.0 % of their respective funded portion of the New Money Financing, with the value of the Common Stock to be determined based on the average of the Daily VWAPs for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (each as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) immediately prior to the date of the Transaction Support Agreement.
•An out-of-court private exchange of Notes pursuant to which the Consenting Noteholders will exchange Notes for First-Out Notes at 100 % of the face amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and their portion of the New Warrants (as defined below) as described below (the “Private Exchange”).
•SEC-registered offerings in which the Company will offer to all Noteholders (other than the Consenting Noteholders) the opportunity (i) to participate for their pro rata portion of the New Money Financing (based on the face amount of their respective Notes in comparison to the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes) and to receive their New Stock Investment, and (ii) to tender Notes in exchange for (A) if such Noteholder funds the full amount of its pro rata portion of the New Money Financing, First-Out Notes, and (B) if such Noteholder does not fund the full amount of its pro rata portion of the New Money Financing, 7.500 % Second-Out Notes due 2029 (the "Second-Out Notes"), in each case, at 100 % of the face amount of its Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest in the case of such exchange, together with, in each case, their portion of the New Warrants as described below (the “Public Exchange,” together with the Private Exchange, the “Exchange Transaction”).
•The issuance of warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock or prefunded warrants, pro rata (based on amount of Notes exchanged into First-Out Notes or Second-Out Notes, irrespective of participation in the New Money Financing) to all Noteholders that exchange their Notes in the Exchange Transaction. The New Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of 30 days.
•The purchase by certain Consenting Noteholders (the “Backstop Providers”) of an amount of First-Out Notes equal to the amount of unpurchased First-Out Notes in the New Money Financing by Noteholders other than the Consenting Noteholders (the “Backstop Commitment”). As consideration for the Backstop Commitment, the Company will pay the Backstop Providers a backstop premium in the form of additional First-Out Notes.
•To consent to and support a consent solicitation in connection with the Public Exchange (the “Consent Solicitation”) pursuant to which the Company will solicit consents from Noteholders to enter into a supplemental indenture to the
30
Indenture to (i) in the event the Out-of-Court Threshold (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) is met, remove certain covenants and events of default under the Notes, as well as to subordinate the Notes in right of payment to the First-Out Notes, the Second-Out Notes and the ABL Credit Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Section 316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the Indenture, as amended; or (ii) in the event the Out-of-Court Threshold is not met and is not waived, amend the Indenture to enable implementation of the restructuring of the Company’s Notes through a proceeding pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales. Noteholders that so consent (including the Consenting Noteholders who have agreed to consent through the Transaction Support Agreement) will receive an aggregate amount of $1.0 million, pro rata (based on amount of Notes consented to by each such Noteholder), payable in First-Out Notes or Second Out Notes, depending on the form of new notes such Noteholder is receiving in exchange for their Notes.
The Transaction Support Agreement contemplates that, if Noteholders of less than 90 % (subject to modification or waiver in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement) of the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s Notes become party to the Transaction Support Agreement or validly tender their Notes in the Exchange Transaction, the restructuring of the Company’s Notes will be implemented through a proceeding initiated in the English Court by Fossil UK pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales.
The Transaction Support Agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties and other agreements by the parties thereto, and contemplates that the Company Parties and Consenting Noteholders enter into a Mutual Release Agreement, providing for customary mutual releases of claims among the parties thereto.
ABL Credit Agreement
On August 13, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries identified therein as guarantors entered into the ABL Credit Agreement with the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company as a borrower to refinance the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Lenders have provided new financing commitments to the Company under a new senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million.
Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of 5.00 % for term SOFR borrowings and 4.00 % for base rate borrowings, payable monthly in arrears. The Lenders will receive an upfront commitment fee equal to 2.00 % of the aggregate commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and those obligations and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants applicable to the Company and events of default. If an event of default under the ABL Credit Agreement occurs, the Lenders may, among other things, declare the outstanding obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.
The New Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 13, 2030, subject to a springing maturity date if on the date that is the 91st day prior to its scheduled maturity any material indebtedness as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement is outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company’s fiscal year periodically results in a 53-week year instead of a normal 52-week year. The current fiscal year ending January 3, 2026 is a 53-week year, with the additional week being included in the quarter ended April 5, 2025. The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Fossil Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the thirteen week periods ended July 5, 2025 (the “Second Quarter”) and June 29, 2024 (the “Prior Year Quarter”), and the twenty-seven week period ended July 5, 2025 (the "Year To Date Period") and the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2024 (the "Prior Year YTD Period"). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Overview
We are a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Our principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts, and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, we have a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which our products are marketed.
Our products are distributed globally through various distribution channels including wholesale in countries where we have a physical presence, direct to the consumer through our retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where we do not maintain a physical presence. Our products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of our customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on our range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, we are able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.
Known or Anticipated Trends
Based on our recent operating results and current perspectives on our operating environment, we anticipate the following trends will continue to impact our operating results:
Tariffs Exposure: Most of our products are assembled or manufactured overseas, with the substantial majority of our products imported from China during fiscal year 2024. In fiscal 2024, we generated 25% of our net sales within the U.S. In early 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration announced significant new tariffs on foreign imports into the U.S., including from China. In April 2025, the U.S. government announced additional tariffs on various goods imported into the U.S., which was followed by several months of rapid changes in U.S. trade policies including recent sweeping tariff increases, as well as retaliatory tariffs by foreign countries. As of early August 2025, following multiple delays and pauses in implementation, higher tariff rates went into effect for most products imported into the United States from most of the major trading partners of the U.S. It continues to be reasonably possible that new or additional tariffs will be periodically announced given the current highly volatile and reactionary global trade environment. We continue to monitor and evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of these tariffs and heightened global trade disputes. Incremental tariffs negatively impacted our gross margin by approximately 80 basis points and 40 basis points for the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively. Future adverse effects on our financial results will likely continue if current tariff levels persist or continue to rise, especially for goods imported from China. We are currently developing and implementing mitigation strategies such as price increases and sourcing changes among others, and determining future implementation timelines.
Economic Environment Impacting Consumer Spending Ability and Preferences: We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties and changes in international trade relations and trade policy, including those related to tariffs. As a result of the recent U.S. tariff announcements, potential tariff increases or other adverse modifications or the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by other countries, we anticipate increased supply chain challenges, economic uncertainty, and economic pressures on customers and consumers as a result of the challenges of high inflation combined with the effects of increased tariffs and possible recessionary conditions in the U.S. and global economy.
Inventory Levels: Slower consumer demand across a wide array of discretionary goods has translated in some cases to excess inventory levels in key accounts and overall cautious buying patterns across our wholesale customers. With the challenging global macro environment, we expect many customers to continue to manage to leaner inventory levels than historically across our key categories to reduce inventory carrying risk. We will continue to proactively manage our inventory purchases to mitigate our cash flow and inventory risks.
World Conflicts: We continuously monitor the direct and indirect impacts from the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. Our operations in Russia and Israel consist of sales through third-party distributors, and our sales in Russia and Israel are not material to our financial results. We have no other operations, including supply chain, in Israel, Palestine, Russia or Ukraine. However, the continuation of the current military conflicts or an escalation of the conflicts
32
beyond their current scope may continue to weaken the global economy, negatively impact consumer confidence, and could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints.
Data: We depend on information technology systems, the Internet and computer networks for a substantial portion of our retail and e-commerce businesses, including credit card transaction authorization and processing. We also receive and store personal information about our customers and employees, the protection of which is critical to us. In the normal course of our business, we collect, retain, and transmit certain sensitive and confidential customer information, including credit card information, over public networks. Despite the security measures we currently have in place, our facilities and systems and those of our third party service providers have been, and will continue to be, vulnerable to theft of physical information, security breaches, hacking attempts, computer viruses and malware, ransomware, phishing, lost data and programming and/or human errors. To date, none of these risks, intrusions, attacks or human error have resulted in any material liability to us. While we carry insurance policies that would provide liability coverage for certain of these matters, if we experience a significant security incident, we could be subject to liability or other damages that exceed our insurance coverage. In addition, we cannot be certain that such insurance policies will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.
Business Strategies and Outlook: Our goal is to drive shareholder value. We operate in a very challenging business environment for our product offerings, which is complicated by the dynamic global trade environment as a result of U.S. tariffs.
In March 2024, we announced that we would undertake a strategic review of our current business model and capital structure. This includes a broader set of efforts to optimize our business model and further reduce structural costs, monetize various assets, and could include additional debt and equity financing options.
In September 2024, we appointed Franco Fogliato Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") and moved quickly to implement changes and create a plan to return the Company to profitable growth (the "Turnaround Plan"). Our Turnaround Plan is centered on three key areas: (i) refocusing on our core, (ii) rightsizing our cost structure, and (iii) strengthening our balance sheet.
As part of refocusing on our core we are building an operating model that is brand-led and consumer focused. We are returning to our core businesses with a renewed emphasis on traditional watches on our FOSSIL brand platform, as well as our go-to market execution. We are launching a new FOSSIL brand platform, leveraging our major licensed brands, optimizing our global wholesale footprint and driving channel profitability.
The second key area of our Turnaround Plan is focused on aligning the cost structure to our newly defined strategy. In 2025, we expect to achieve selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") cost savings of approximately $100 million as compared to fiscal 2024 through a series of initiatives including a strategic reduction in force which occurred in late February 2025, reduced costs associated with the transition of smaller international markets to a distributor model, and the closing of underperforming FOSSIL retail stores. We have closed a net 34 retail stores in the first half of 2025 and plan to close an additional 10 to 15 stores in the second half of the year. We also expect to divest certain non-core assets and will seek to identify additional cost-reduction opportunities, which may generate incremental savings in 2025.
Under our third key area, strengthening our balance sheet, we are actively pursuing initiatives to monetize non-core assets, improve working capital and strengthen liquidity. During the Second Quarter we entered into a sale of our European distribution center for $23 million. On August 13, 2025, we entered into the New Revolving Credit Facility, replacing our previous revolving credit facility, and the Transaction Support Agreement, See "Item 1. Financial Statement-Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-17. Subsequent Events" and "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more details.
Aided by our restructuring programs, we achieved gross margins above 50% for fiscal year 2024 and just below 60% for the first half of 2025, which included some adverse effects of the tariffs in the Second Quarter, as already mentioned. Our goal is to achieve positive adjusted operating margins as we continue to realize improvement across the Turnaround Plan workstreams.
For a more complete discussion of the risks facing our business, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
Operating Segments
We operate our business in three segments which are divided into geographies. Net sales for each geographic segment are based on the location of the selling entity, and each reportable segment provides similar products and services.
33
Americas: The Americas segment is comprised of sales from our operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors, and direct to consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 101 Company-owned stores as of the end of the Second Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.
Europe: The Europe segment is comprised of sales to customers based in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors and direct to consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors, and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 52 Company-owned stores as of the end of the Second Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.
Asia: The Asia segment is comprised of sales to customers based in Australia, greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors and direct to consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors, and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 61 Company-owned stores as of the end of the Second Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.
Key Measures of Financial Performance and Key Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Constant Currency Financial Information: As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The translation of the operations of our foreign-based entities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and can have a significant impact on our reported financial results. In general, our overall financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business.
As a result, in addition to presenting financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), our discussion contains references to constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. To calculate net sales on a constant currency basis, net sales for the current fiscal year for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. We present constant currency information to provide investors with a basis to evaluate how our underlying business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The constant currency financial information presented herein should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between constant currency financial information and the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included where applicable.
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 income (loss) before income taxes, 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 gains on asset divestitures and interest income. We define Adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense, restructuring expense and gains on asset divestitures. We define Constant currency adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense, restructuring expense and gains on asset divestitures 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, gains on asset divestitures and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Constant currency 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), Constant currency 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), Constant currency 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.
Comparable Retail Sales: Both stores and e-commerce sites are included in comparable retail sales in the thirteenth month of operation. Stores that experience a gross square footage change of 10% or more due to an expansion and/or relocation are removed from the comparable store sales base, but are included in total sales. These stores are returned to the comparable
34
store sales base in the thirteenth month following the expansion and/or relocation. Comparable retail sales were adjusted to normalize the 27-week Year To Date Period with the 26-week Prior Year YTD Period. Comparable retail sales also exclude the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.
Store Counts: While macroeconomic factors have shifted sales away from traditional brick and mortar stores towards digital channels, store counts continue to provide a key metric for management. Over time, we have made progress right-sizing our fleet of stores, focusing on closing our least profitable stores, and the size and quality of our store fleet have a direct impact on our sales and profitability.
Total Liquidity: We define total liquidity as cash and cash equivalents plus available borrowings on our revolving credit facility. We monitor and forecast total liquidity to ensure we can meet our financial obligations.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues from sales of our products, including those that are subject to inventory consignment agreements, are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for the product. We accept limited returns from customers. We continually monitor returns and maintain a provision for estimated returns based upon historical experience and any specific issues identified. Our product returns are accounted for as reductions to revenue and cost of sales and an increase to customer liabilities and other current assets to the extent the returned product is resalable.
Cost of Sales includes raw material costs, assembly labor, assembly overhead including depreciation expense, assembly warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from assembly locations to sales distribution centers and from sales distribution centers to customer locations. Additionally, cost of sales includes customs duties, product packaging cost, royalty cost associated with sales of licensed products, the cost of molding and tooling, inventory shrinkage and damages and restructuring charges.
Gross Profit and gross profit margin are influenced by our diversified business model that includes, but is not limited to: (i) product categories that we distribute; (ii) the multiple brands, including both owned and licensed, we offer within several product categories; (iii) the geographical presence of our businesses; and (iv) the different distribution channels we sell to or through.
The attributes of this diversified business model produce varying ranges of gross profit margin. Generally, on a historical basis, our fashion branded traditional watch and jewelry offerings produce higher gross profit margins than our smartwatches and leather goods offerings. In addition, in most product categories that we offer, brands with higher retail price points generally produce higher gross profit margins compared to those of lower retail priced brands. However, smartwatches carry relatively lower margins than our other major product categories. Gross profit margins related to sales in our Europe and Asia businesses are historically higher than our Americas business, primarily due to the following factors: (i) premiums charged in comparison to retail prices on products sold in the U.S.; (ii) the product sales mix in our international businesses, in comparison to our Americas business, is comprised more predominantly of watches and jewelry that generally produce higher gross profit margins than leather goods; and (iii) the watch sales mix in our Europe and Asia businesses, in comparison to our Americas business, are comprised more predominantly of higher priced licensed brands.
Operating Expenses include SG&A, other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of our retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reorganize, refine and optimize our Company’s infrastructure and store closures under our Turnaround Plan.
Results of Operations
Quarterly Periods Ended July 5, 2025 and June 29, 2024
Consolidated Net Sales. Net sales decreased $39.6 million, or 15.2% (15.8% in constant currency), for the Second Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, with sales declines in all three regions. The sales decrease was largely driven by overall category, consumer and channel softness. Declines in smartwatch sales and our store rationalization initiatives comprised approximately 550 basis points of the sales decline in the Second Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Wholesale sales declined 5.9% (6.2% in constant currency). Direct to consumer sales declined by 29.0% (30.0% in constant currency), due to a smaller store base and declines in our comparable retail sales. We have reduced our store footprint by 17.1% since the end of the Prior Year Quarter. Global comparable retail sales decreased 22.9% due to decreases in both our owned e-
35
commerce websites and stores. From a category perspective, traditional watch sales decreased 8.1% (8.4% in constant currency). Net sales in smartwatches decreased 83.3% (83.7% constant currency), as we exited the category. The leathers category decreased 37.9% (38.6% in constant currency) compared to the Prior Year Quarter, and jewelry sales decreased 19.8% (22.3% in constant currency). From a brand perspective, the most predominant sales declines were in the FOSSIL and EMPORIO ARMANI brands.

Our gross profit margin rate increased to 57.5% in the Second Quarter compared to 52.6% in the Prior Year Quarter, reflecting improved product margins in our core categories as a result of sourcing benefits, exiting the smartwatch category, and reduced freight costs. Changes in foreign currencies resulted in a 10 basis point positive impact. These favorable impacts were partially offset by increased tariffs.
Operating Expenses.

Gross Profit. Gross profit of $269.7 million in the Year To Date Period decreased $0.6 million, or 0.2%, in comparison to $270.3 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. Gross profit margin rate increased to 59.5% in the Year To Date Period compared to 52.5% in the Prior Year YTD Period. Our gross profit margin rate increase primarily reflects improved product margins in our core categories as a result of sourcing benefits, exiting the smartwatch category, and reduced freight costs. Changes in foreign currencies resulted in a 20 basis point positive impact.
Operating Expenses. For the Year To Date Period, total operating expenses decreased to $268.0 million compared to $333.6 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. SG&A expenses were $244.8 million in the Year To Date Period in comparison to $305.9 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 54.0% in the Year To Date Period as compared to 59.4% in the Prior Year YTD Period, primarily driven by cost reductions and efficiencies gained through our restructuring programs. The Year To Date Period SG&A expenses also benefited from an $11.0 million gain on the sale of a building during the Second Quarter. During the Year To Date Period, we incurred restructuring costs of $23.1
42
million in comparison to restructuring costs of $26.7 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. We incurred other long-lived asset impairment charges of $0.1 million in the Year To Date Period compared to charges of $1.0 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. The translation of foreign-denominated expenses during the Year To Date Period decreased operating expenses by $1.1 million when compared to the Prior Year YTD Period, as a result of the stronger U.S. dollar.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating income (loss) was income of $1.7 million in the Year To Date Period as compared to a loss of $63.2 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. As a percentage of net sales, operating margin was 0.4% in the Year To Date Period as compared to (12.3)% in the Prior Year YTD Period. Operating income margin in the Year To Date Period was negatively impacted by approximately 20 basis points due to changes in foreign currencies.
Operating income (loss) by segment was as follows (dollars in millions):

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $8.8 million during the Year To Date Period compared to the $9.2 million in the Prior Year YTD Period.
Other Income (Expense)-Net. During the Year To Date Period, other income (expense)-net was expense of $3.3 million in comparison to income of $5.3 million in the Prior Year YTD Period. The change in other income (expense)-net was primarily due to net currency losses in the Year To Date Period compared to net currency gains in the Prior Year YTD Period.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the Year To Date Period was $9.6 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (92.7)%. The Prior Year YTD Period income tax benefit was $(3.9) million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 5.8%. The Year to Date Period effective tax rate was unfavorable to the Prior Year YTD Period due to income tax accrued on certain foreign income and no tax benefit accrued on the U.S. tax losses and certain foreign tax losses, due to the uncertainty of whether they can be used in the future.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. For the Year To Date Period, net loss was $19.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in comparison to a loss of $63.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the Prior Year YTD Period. Diluted loss per share in the Year To Date Period, as compared to the Prior Year YTD Period, was negatively impacted by $0.02 per diluted share due to the impact of currency.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Adjusted net loss for the Year To Date Period was $10.7 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.20 compared to adjusted net loss of $41.4 million with adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.78 in the Prior Year YTD Period.
Adjusted EBITDA. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is income (loss) before income taxes. Certain line items presented in the table below, when aggregated, may not foot due to rounding (dollars in millions).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the Second Quarter was $109.9 million, including $104.6 million held by foreign subsidiaries, in comparison to cash and cash equivalents of $104.9 million at the end of the Prior Year Quarter and $123.6 million at the end of fiscal year 2024. Generally, starting in the third quarter, our cash needs begin to increase, typically reaching a peak in the September-November time frame as we increase inventory levels in advance of the holiday season. Our quarterly cash requirements are also impacted by debt repayments, restructuring charges and capital expenditures.
At the end of the Second Quarter, we had net working capital of $223.8 million compared to net working capital of $262.7 million at the end of the Prior Year Quarter. At the end of the Second Quarter, we had $13.4 million of short-term borrowings and $165.6 million in long-term debt including unamortized issuance costs compared to $2.6 million of short-term borrowings and $156.5 million in long-term debt including unamortized issuance costs at the end of the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating Activities. Cash from operating activities is net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities was $50.9 million in the Year To Date Period as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $39.0 million from the Prior Year YTD Period, primarily due to the receipt of $57.3 million of U.S. tax refunds in the Prior Year YTD Period.
Investing Activities. Investing cash flows increased $24.0 million in the Year To Date Period compared to the Prior Year YTD Period, primarily related to the sale of our European distribution center in the Second Quarter.
Financing Activities. Financing cash flows primarily consist of borrowings and repayments of debt. The $58.2 million increase in financing cash flows year-over-year was primarily due to net borrowings during the Year To Date Period compared to net payments in the Prior Year YTD Period under the Revolving Facility.
Material Cash Requirements. We have various payment obligations as part of our ordinary course of business. Our material cash requirements include: (1) operating lease obligations (see Note—14 Leases within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements); (2) debt repayments (see Note 15—Debt Activity within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements); (3) non-cancellable purchase obligations; (4) minimum royalty payments; and (5) employee wages, benefits, and incentives. The expected timing of payments of our obligations is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on the timing of receipt of goods or services, or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations. In addition, some of our purchasing requirements are not current obligations and are therefore not included above. For example, some of these requirements are not handled through binding contracts or are fulfilled by vendors on a purchase order basis within short time horizons. Moreover, we may be subject to additional material cash requirements that are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, e.g., legal contingencies, uncertain tax positions (see Note 5—Income Taxes within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and other matters.
For fiscal year 2025, we expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $5 million. Our capital expenditure budget is an estimate and is subject to change.
45
Sources of Liquidity. We believe cash flows from operations, combined with existing cash on hand and amounts available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for at least the next twelve months. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, we are assessing our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in light of our operating performance, the timing of the expected benefits of our Turnaround Plan and other relevant considerations, including macroeconomic events, recessionary risks and tariffs. In the event our liquidity is insufficient, we may be required to limit our spending or sell assets. In addition, we may seek additional deleveraging or refinancing transactions, including entering into transactions to exchange debt for other debt securities (including additional secured debt), issuance of equity (including preferred stock and/or convertible securities), repurchase or redemption of outstanding indebtedness, or may otherwise seek transactions to reduce interest expense, extend debt maturities and improve our capital structure. Any of these transactions could impact our financial results, including additional expenses, charges and cancellation of indebtedness income. We cannot assure you whether any of such transactions will be consummated, whether we will achieve the benefits of any such transaction, or whether our cost of capital will increase, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our future liquidity.
The following table shows our sources of liquidity (in millions):

(1) On August 13, 2025, we entered into a New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below)
As of August 13, 2025, we had $31.1 million of available borrowing capacity under our New Revolving Credit Facility.
Notes: In November 2021, we sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.00% senior notes due 2026 (the "Notes"), generating net proceeds of approximately $141.7 million. The Notes are our general unsecured obligations. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. The Notes mature on November 30, 2026. We may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option at the following prices: (i) prior to November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.25 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes and (ii) on or after November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.00 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, plus (in each case noted above) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
Revolving Facility: On September 26, 2019, we and Fossil Partners L.P., as the U.S. borrowers, and Fossil Group Europe GmbH, Fossil Asia Pacific Limited, Fossil (Europe) GmbH, Fossil (UK) Limited and Fossil Canada Inc., as the non-U.S. borrowers, certain other of our subsidiaries from time to time party thereto designated as borrowers, and certain of our subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors, entered into a secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Revolving Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the "ABL Agent"), J.P. Morgan AG, as French collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents and each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "ABL Lenders").
ABL Credit Agreement: On August 13, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries identified therein as guarantors entered into the ABL Credit Agreement with the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company as a borrower to refinance the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Lenders have provided new financing commitments to the Company under a new senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million.
Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of 5.00% for term SOFR borrowings and 4.00% for base rate borrowings, payable monthly in arrears. The Lenders will receive an upfront commitment fee equal to 2.00% of the aggregate commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and those obligations and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants applicable to the Company and events of default. If an event of default under the ABL Credit Agreement occurs, the Lenders may, among other things, declare the outstanding obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.
The New Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 13, 2030, subject to a springing maturity date if on the date that is the 91st day prior to its scheduled maturity any material indebtedness as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement is outstanding.
46
As of August 13, 2025, we had $15.0 million borrowed under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $31.1 million of available borrowing capacity.
Year To Date 2025 Activity: We had net borrowings of $2.1 million under the Revolving Facility during the Year To Date Period at an average interest rate of 6.7%. As of July 5, 2025, we had $150.0 million outstanding under the Notes and $18.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. We also had unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.4 million recorded in long-term debt and $1.8 million recorded in intangible and other assets-net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we had $5.4 million of outstanding standby letters of credit as of July 5, 2025. Amounts available under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any amounts outstanding under standby letters of credit. As of July 5, 2025, we had available borrowing capacity of $0.7 million under the Revolving Facility. At July 5, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our credit facilities. In May 2025, the ABL Agent imposed an additional $5.0 million restructuring reserve that reduced the amount we were able to borrow under the Revolving Facility.
During the Year To Date Period and in fiscal year 2024, Fossil India Private Ltd. entered into receivables buyout facilities that are used for working capital purposes (the "Fossil India facilities"). Indian Rupee borrowings, in U.S. dollars, under the Fossil India facilities were approximately $12.8 million as of July 5, 2025.
Transaction Support Agreement: On August 13, 2025, the Company Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd. (“Fossil UK”), and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company identified therein (collectively, the “Company Parties") entered into a Transaction Support Agreement ("The Transaction Support Agreement") with certain holders (the "Consenting Noteholders") representing ownership of approximately 59% of the aggregate principal of the Company’s 7.00% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).
The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of each of the parties thereto, including covenants that the Consenting Noteholders participate in, consent to, vote in favor of, and otherwise support, as applicable:
•A new money financing of up to $32.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9.500% First-Out Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “First-Out Notes”) to be offered to (i) the Consenting Noteholders on a private placement basis and (ii) to holders of Notes (“Noteholders”) (other than the Consenting Noteholders) pursuant to an SEC-registered offering (together, the “New Money Financing”), in each case pro rata (based on the face amount of their respective Notes in comparison to the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes. Noteholders that participate in the New Money Financing for their full pro rata portion of the New Money Financing will also receive Common Stock of the Company equal to 5.0% of their respective funded portion of the New Money Financing, with the value of the Common Stock to be determined based on the average of the Daily VWAPs for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (each as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) immediately prior to the date of the Transaction Support Agreement.
•An out-of-court private exchange of Notes pursuant to which the Consenting Noteholders will exchange Notes for First-Out Notes at 100% of the face amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and their portion of the New Warrants (as defined below) as described below (the “Private Exchange”).
•SEC-registered offerings in which the Company will offer to all Noteholders (other than the Consenting Noteholders) the opportunity (i) to participate for their pro rata portion of the New Money Financing (based on the face amount of their respective Notes in comparison to the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes) and to receive their New Stock Investment, and (ii) to tender Notes in exchange for (A) if such Noteholder funds the full amount of its pro rata portion of the New Money Financing, First-Out Notes, and (B) if such Noteholder does not fund the full amount of its pro rata portion of the New Money Financing, 7.500% Second-Out Notes due 2029 (the “Second-Out Notes”), in each case, at 100% of the face amount of its Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest in the case of such exchange, together with, in each case, their portion of the New Warrants as described below (the “Public Exchange,” together with the Private Exchange, the “Exchange Transaction”).
•The issuance of warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock or prefunded warrants, pro rata (based on amount of Notes exchanged into First-Out Notes or Second-Out Notes, irrespective of participation in the New Money Financing) to all Noteholders that exchange their Notes in the Exchange Transaction. The New Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of 30 days.
•The purchase by certain Consenting Noteholders (the “Backstop Providers”) of an amount of First-Out Notes equal to the amount of unpurchased First-Out Notes in the New Money Financing by Noteholders other than the Consenting Noteholders (the “Backstop Commitment”). As consideration for the Backstop Commitment, the Company will pay the Backstop Providers a backstop premium in the form of additional First-Out Notes.
•To consent to and support a consent solicitation in connection with the Public Exchange (the “Consent Solicitation”) pursuant to which the Company will solicit consents from Noteholders to enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture to (i) in the event the Out-of-Court Threshold (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) is met, remove certain covenants and events of default under the Notes, as well as to subordinate the Notes in right of payment to the First-Out Notes, the Second-Out Notes and the ABL Credit Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Section
47
316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the Indenture, as amended; or (ii) in the event the Out-of-Court Threshold is not met and is not waived, amend the Indenture to enable implementation of the restructuring of the Company’s Notes through a proceeding pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales. Noteholders that so consent (including the Consenting Noteholders who have agreed to consent through the Transaction Support Agreement) will receive an aggregate amount of $1.0 million, pro rata (based on amount of Notes consented to by each such Noteholder), payable in First-Out Notes or Second Out Notes, depending on the form of new notes such Noteholder is receiving in exchange for their Notes.
The Transaction Support Agreement contemplates that, if Noteholders of less than 90% (subject to modification or waiver in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement) of the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s Notes become party to the Transaction Support Agreement or validly tender their Notes in the Exchange Transaction, the restructuring of the Company’s Notes will be implemented through a proceeding initiated in the English Court by Fossil UK pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales.
The Transaction Support Agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties and other agreements by the parties thereto, and contemplates that the Company Parties and Consenting Noteholders enter into a Mutual Release Agreement, providing for customary mutual releases of claims among the parties thereto.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to product returns, inventories, long-lived asset impairment, impairment of trade names, income taxes and warranty costs. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of July 5, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the Second Quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our properties are subject, other than routine matters incidental to our business that are not material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors contained in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in evaluating the Company and its business. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
Risks Related to our Indebtedness
We are highly leveraged. Our substantial indebtedness and the corresponding cash debt service obligations could adversely affect our competitiveness, our liquidity, our operations, and our ability to obtain additional financing if necessary.
As of July 5, 2025, we had $181.4 million of outstanding indebtedness, not including $4.2 million of debt issuance costs, and we paid $23.8 million of interest during fiscal year 2024.
Our high level of indebtedness and corresponding high cash debt service obligations, could have important consequences, including the following:
•they may limit our ability to obtain additional financing or sell stock to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayments and debt service requirements;
•they may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and future business opportunities;
•we are more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage;
•they may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or general adverse economic, regulatory and industry conditions, including rising tariffs;
•they may increase our cost of borrowing;
•they may limit our ability to reinvest in our business;
•they may limit our ability to refinance our indebtedness;
•they may require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt; and
•there would be a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition if we were unable to service our indebtedness or obtain additional financing as needed.
Our ability to meet our cash requirements, including our debt service obligations, is dependent upon our ability to maintain and improve our operating performance, which is subject to general economic and competitive conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe we have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures through the next twelve months, if our operating results do not meet our expectations or if we experience adverse financial, business and other factors that we do not currently anticipate, we could face liquidity constraints.
If we are unable to meet our liquidity requirements, we could be forced to sell assets, restructure or refinance our debt or raise additional capital through sales of equity or debt. We may be unable to take any of these actions on satisfactory terms or in a timely manner or at all, due to many factors, including our high level of indebtedness. Any of these actions may not be sufficient to allow us to service our debt obligations or may have an adverse impact on our business. Our existing debt agreements limit our ability to take certain of these actions. Our failure to generate sufficient operating cash flow to pay our debt obligations could have a material adverse effect on us.

On August 13, 2025, we entered into the New Revolving Credit Facility, replacing our previous revolving credit facility. See “Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements— Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—17. Subsequent Events” and “Part I.—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—ABL Credit Agreement” for more details.
The maximum amount that we are permitted to borrow at any time under the New Revolving Facility is limited by a borrowing base that is recalculated monthly or, in some circumstances, more frequently. The borrowing base is a function of, among other things, our eligible accounts receivable, inventory and certain intellectual property. As a result, our access to credit under the New Revolving Facility fluctuates depending on the value of the borrowing base eligible assets as of any measurement date. Because our business is seasonal and generates higher net sales and accounts receivable in the third and fourth quarters, our borrowing base is also seasonal and is typically lower during our second and third quarters, which can adversely affect our liquidity during these quarters.
The New Revolving Facility provides the administrative agent considerable discretion to impose reserves and to determine that certain assets are not eligible for inclusion in our borrowing base, which could materially reduce the maximum amount that we are able to borrow at any one time under the New Revolving Facility. There can be no assurance that the administrative agent will not impose additional reserves or exclude other assets from our borrowing base. If they do so, such actions could materially reduce our availability under the New Revolving Facility, which could materially and adversely impact our liquidity and our ability to operate our business.
Financial Risks
We have a recent history of net losses and negative cash flow and may not achieve consistent profitability or positive cash flow in the future.
We have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flow in recent periods. During the six months ended July 5, 2025, fiscal years 2024 and 2023, we generated a net loss attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. of $19.9 million, $102.7 million, and $157.1 million, respectively. While our cash flow provided by operating activities was $46.7 million in fiscal year 2024, we used cash in operating activities of $50.9 million, $59.5 million and $110.9 million during the six months ended July 5, 2025, fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022, respectively. We will need to generate and sustain increased net sales levels in future periods and reduce expenses in order to become profitable and generate consistent positive cash flow, and even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability and cash flow. If we cannot become profitable or generate positive cash flow, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
A significant portion of our cash, cash equivalents and investments are held by our foreign subsidiaries, which could negatively affect future liquidity needs.
As of July 5, 2025, $104.6 million, or approximately 95.2% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. While we intend to use some of the cash held outside the U.S. to fund our international operations, when we encounter a significant need for liquidity in the U.S. or other locations that we cannot fulfill through other internal or external sources, our liquidity requirements could necessitate transfers of existing cash balances between our subsidiaries or to the U.S.. Some of our subsidiaries are located in jurisdictions that require foreign government approval before a cash repatriation can occur. If we are unable to transfer existing cash balances in such a situation, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Operational Risks
Tariffs or other restrictions placed on imports from China and any retaliatory trade measures taken by China could materially harm our revenue and results of operations.
Beginning in July 2018, certain of our products have been subject to additional ad valorem duties imposed by the U.S. government on products of China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”) and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA").
The Section 301 tariffs, were imposed via four successive “Lists” and were first the result of an April 2018 determination by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) that China’s acts, practices, and policies with respect to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce. Certain of our packaging and handbag products have been subject to an additional 25% ad valorem tariff since July 2018 (“List 1”). Certain of our handbag and wallet products were subject to an additional 10% ad valorem tariff beginning in September 2018, a rate that was then raised to 25% ad valorem from June 2019 to present (“List 3”). Finally, smartwatches, certain jewelry
51
products, and several of our traditional watch products were subject to an additional 15% ad valorem tariff beginning in September 2019, a rate that was lowered to 7.5% ad valorem from February 2020 to present (“List 4A”).
The IEEPA tariffs on products of China currently take the form of two separate tariff actions, (1) an action relating to illicit drug supply chains as of February 2025, currently amounting to 20% ad valorem; and (2) “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% as of May 14, 2025. Our products sourced from China are subject to these IEEPA tariffs in addition to the Section 301 tariffs above.
We continue to monitor tariff developments that pose potential risks. In this fast-paced international trade environment, we also monitor developments for any negotiated resolutions to offset some of the tariff exposure. While certain trade deals have been publicly announced, little information has been released about the scope of the agreements, limiting the possibility of a full assessment of their impact on our operations at this time.
We have joined litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the legality of the Section 301 List 3 and List 4A tariffs and seeking refunds of duties paid on imports that were subject to those tariffs. That litigation is ongoing in the appeal stages.
If the tariffs continue or increase, we may be required to raise our prices, which may result in the loss of customers and harm our operating performance. Alternatively, we may seek to shift production outside of China or otherwise change our sourcing strategy for these products, potentially resulting in significant costs and disruption to our operations. Even if the U.S. further modifies these tariffs, it is always possible that new products we introduce could be impacted by the changes, or that our business will be impacted by retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response to existing or future tariffs, causing us to raise prices or make changes to our operations, any of which could materially harm our revenue or operating results.
Our supply chain may be disrupted by changes in U.S. trade policy with China or as a result of a pandemic.
We rely on domestic and foreign suppliers to provide us with merchandise in a timely manner and at favorable prices. Among our foreign suppliers, China is the source of a substantial majority of our imports.
We experienced increased international transit times and increased shipping costs for a majority of our products, in association with and primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any future disruption in the flow of our imported merchandise from China or a material increase in the cost of those goods or transportation without any offsetting price increases may significantly decrease our profits.
The ongoing U.S. tariffs or other actions against China and any responses by China, and a continued failure to implement a lasting agreement to more permanently lower tariff rates, could impair our ability to meet customer demand and could result in lost sales or an increase in our cost of merchandise. Additionally, the U.S. Trade Representative has also announced the imposition, starting in October 2025, of additional fees on Chinese vessels, and Chinese vessel owners/operators, that serve U.S. ports. These trade policies may have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
