Fossil Group, Inc. reported lower quarterly sales and a larger loss while continuing its multi‑year turnaround. For the 13 weeks ended July 4, 2026, net sales were $209.7 million versus $220.4 million a year earlier, as store rationalizations and softer demand weighed on revenue. Gross profit rose modestly to $130.8 million as cost of sales declined, but operating income fell to $3.2 million from $8.5 million, pressured by higher SG&A and restructuring charges.
Higher leverage significantly increased interest costs: quarterly interest expense more than doubled to $8.3 million, driving a net loss attributable to Fossil of $10.6 million (loss of $0.18 per share), versus a $2.3 million loss last year. Year‑to‑date, sales were $434.4 million and operating income improved to $15.2 million, reducing the six‑month net loss to $11.4 million from $19.9 million. Operating cash flow remained negative at $(31.0) million, while cash and cash equivalents were $79.0 million and long‑term debt rose to $203.0 million. The company continues to execute its Turnaround Plan, recording $5.5 million of restructuring charges year‑to‑date and booking $5.9 million of U.S. tariff refund claims as a loss recovery.

Fossil Group, Inc. reported fiscal second quarter 2026 net sales of $209.7 million, down 4.9% year over year, with weakness in direct-to-consumer channels partly from store rationalization. In constant currency, Europe declined 18.2%, while Asia grew 3.7% and the Americas were roughly flat.
Gross profit rose to $130.8 million and gross margin expanded 490 basis points to 62.4%, reflecting better product margins, sourcing initiatives and reduced tariffs. However, higher operating expenses, interest and currency losses led to a net loss of $10.6 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $8.6 million and constant currency adjusted operating income doubled versus last year’s quarter. Liquidity stood at $96.6 million, including $79.0 million in cash, against $203.0 million of total debt. Management raised full-year 2026 guidance, now expecting worldwide net sales to decline 3%–5%, adjusted operating margin of 4%–6% and positive free cash flow, with a projected return to top-line growth in the fourth quarter.

Despite this, operating results improved, with operating income of $12.0 million versus a prior-year loss of $6.7 million, driven by lower restructuring costs and SG&A savings under its Turnaround Plan.
Gross margin slipped to 59.9% from 61.3%, reflecting higher tariffs and minimum royalty timing, partly offset by $4.0 million of IEEPA tariff refunds. After $8.5 million of interest expense on newly restructured debt and higher borrowing costs, Fossil posted a small net loss of $0.8 million, much narrower than the $17.6 million loss a year earlier.
Cash and cash equivalents were $81.4 million as of April 4, 2026, against long-term debt of $193.0 million and revolving credit facility borrowings of $33.0 million.
