Non-GAAP Items (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)
First quarter fiscal 2026 results of operations included a $0.6 million pre-tax charge, or $0.5 million after tax, representing $0.02 per diluted share, associated with the establishment of a provision for a corporate cost-savings initiative.
In this press release, references to "adjusted" results exclude the impact of the above charge. Please refer to the attached GAAP and Non-GAAP measures table for a detailed reconciliation of the Company's reported results to its adjusted, non-GAAP results.
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results (See attached table for GAAP and Non-GAAP measures)
Net sales decreased 1.9% to $131.8 million, or decreased 1.0% on a constant dollar basis, compared to $134.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in net sales reflected declines in owned brands and Movado Company Stores, partially offset by an increase in licensed brands. U.S. net sales decreased 1.6% as compared to the first quarter of last year. International net sales decreased 2.2% (a decrease of 0.7% on a constant dollar basis) as compared to the first quarter of last year.
Gross profit was $71.4 million, or 54.1% of net sales, compared to $72.9 million, or 54.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, increased shipping costs and the decreased leverage of certain fixed costs as a result of lower sales, partially offset by favorable changes in channel and product mix.
Operating expenses were $71.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $70.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in foreign exchange losses that reflect a highly volatile exchange rate environment and an increase in performance-based compensation, partially offset by lower payroll-related and marketing expenses. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased to 53.9% of sales from 52.7% in the prior year period primarily due to lower sales. For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, adjusted operating expenses were $70.5 million, or 53.5% of sales.
Operating income was $0.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating income was $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to a tax provision of $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Based on adjusted pre-tax income, the adjusted tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.8 million, or an adjusted tax rate of 30.9%. The tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 48.7%.
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program
The Company also announced that on May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the payment on June 26, 2025 of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.35 for each share of the Company's outstanding common stock and class A common stock held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 12, 2025.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company did not repurchase shares under its December 5, 2024 share repurchase program. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had $50.0 million remaining available under the share repurchase program.
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
Given the current economic uncertainty and the unpredictable impact of tariff developments on the Company's business, the Company has elected not to provide a fiscal 2026 outlook at this time. However, the Company is planning to take actions to partially mitigate the impact of the recent tariff changes, including select price increases at the wholesale and retail levels.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, and distributes MOVADO®, MVMT®, OLIVIA BURTON®, EBEL®, CONCORD®, CALVIN KLEIN®, COACH®, TOMMY HILFIGER®, HUGO BOSS®, and LACOSTE®, watches, and, to a lesser extent jewelry and other accessories, and operates Movado Company Stores in the United States and Canada.
In this release, the Company presents certain financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Specifically, the Company is presenting adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax provision, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are operating expenses, operating income, pre-tax income, tax provision, net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, under GAAP, adjusted to eliminate the establishment of a provision for a cost-savings initiative. The Company believes the adjusted measures are useful because they give investors information about the Company's financial performance without the effect of certain items that the Company believes are not characteristic of its usual operations. Additionally, the Company is presenting constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how its business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the current period. Comparisons of financial results on a constant dollar basis are calculated by translating each foreign currency at the same U.S. dollar exchange rate as in effect for the prior-year period for both periods being compared. The Company believes this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, and the methods of their calculation may differ substantially from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

UnitedHealth Seeks $1B Latin America Exit: Sources

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in. The company is considering several offers for its Latin American business, according to two insiders familiar with the situation, as it works to recover from a series of major setbacks, including the removal of its CEO and a reported criminal accounting investigation. The largest US health insurer has aimed to exit Latin America since 2022, but selling its Banmedica unit has become more urgent recently due to multiple challenges, one source said. A senior healthcare professional giving advice to a patient in a clinic. New CEO Steve Hemsley told shareholders last week that he is focused on regaining their confidence following a disappointing earnings report and a Wall Street Journal story about a criminal probe into alleged Medicare fraud. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) maintains it has not been notified by the Department of Justice and stands by its business integrity. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) has received four non-binding bids for Banmedica, which operates in Colombia and Chile, totaling around $1 billion, according to sources who requested anonymity due to the confidential nature of the negotiations. While we acknowledge the potential of UNH as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Disney to Pay Comcast $438.7M for Full Hulu Ownership, Ending Valuation Dispute

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in. The company has agreed to pay Comcast $438.7 million to buy out its remaining stake in the streaming service Hulu, ending a lengthy appraisal process. In 2023, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) announced its plan to acquire Comcast's 33% share of Hulu, paying $8.6 billion based on a minimum value of $27.5 billion that the companies had agreed on in 2019. This move wasn't unexpected, as reports had indicated Disney's intention to gain full control of Hulu. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) had originally acquired a two-thirds stake in Hulu through its purchase of Fox Corp.'s entertainment assets. After the initial payment, Disney and Comcast entered an appraisal process initially set to finish in 2024. The deal is expected to be finalized by July 24. Disney CEO Bob Iger made the following statement: 'We are pleased this is finally resolved. We have had a productive partnership with NBCUniversal, and we wish them the best of luck.' Meanwhile, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) has started merging Hulu with its other streaming services, which are also bundled with ESPN+, its sports streaming platform. While we acknowledge the potential of DIS as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as 'plans', 'expects' or 'does not expect', 'is expected', 'estimates', 'intends', 'anticipates' or 'does not anticipate', 'believes', or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results 'may', 'could', 'would', 'might' or 'will' be taken, occur or be achieved. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, events or developments to be materially different from any future results, events or developments expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the Company's limited operating history and lack of historical profits; risks related to the Company's business and financial position; fluctuations in the market price of the Company's Common Shares; that the Company may not be able to accurately predict its rate of growth and profitability; the failure of the Company and/or the Underwriter to satisfy closing conditions to the Offering; whether the Over-Allotment Option will be exercised; the failure of the Company to satisfy certain TSX additional listing requirements in respect of the Offered Securities; the failure of the Company to use any of the proceeds received from the Offering in a manner consistent with current expectations; reliance on management; the Company's requirements for additional financing, and the effect of capital market conditions and other factors on capital availability; competition, including from more established or better financed competitors; and the need to secure and maintain corporate alliances and partnerships, including with research and development institutions, clients and suppliers. These factors should be considered carefully, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. The Company has no intention to update any forward-looking statement, even if new information becomes available as a result of future events, new information or for any other reason, except as required by law.
