Guess?, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter Results
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 22, 2022--
Guess?, Inc. (NYSE: GES) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended October 29, 2022.
Carlos Alberini, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our third quarter financial results, which exceeded our revenue and operating profit expectations in a challenging retail environment. Our revenues decreased by almost 2% in U.S. dollars but grew 10% in constant currency, driven primarily by the strength of our business in Europe. For the period, we managed the business well and delivered an 8.6% operating margin and $55 million in operating profit. Lower performance-based compensation helped us partially offset the gross margin pressure we experienced as a result of the adverse currency impact associated with the strong U.S. dollar and lower full price selling.”
Paul Marciano, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, commented, “Our focus remains on delivering great product to support our customers’ lifestyles with one global product line for our multiple categories of apparel and accessories. Through our focus on brand elevation, we have improved the quality and styling of our products. Our Guess and Marciano collections are both resonating well across our different customer groups. I am very pleased with how our teams continue to work well together to leverage our strong brand momentum and gain market share.”
Mr. Alberini concluded, “We are well positioned for our holiday period. We have a solid business plan and inventory levels are well aligned with our business trends. Our updated outlook for the fiscal year reflects these trends and the impact of further currency headwinds. We believe that the combination of our diversified business model, our global brands and our strong capital structure provides us with a significant competitive advantage in the current marketplace and remain confident in our long-term growth opportunities.”

GAAP operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 1.6% to 8.6%, from 10.2% for the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency, higher costs and markdowns, partially offset by leveraging of expenses. The negative impact of currency on operating margin for the quarter was approximately 190 basis points.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, adjusted earnings from operations decreased 18% to $58.0 million, from $70.4 million in the same prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating margin decreased 1.8% to 9.1%, from 10.9% for the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency, higher costs and markdowns, partially offset by leveraging of expenses.
- Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Retail segment decreased 7.3% to 6.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, from 14.2% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from higher markdowns and inventory obsolescence reserves, higher costs and lower government subsidies compared to the same prior-year quarter, partially offset by higher initial markups.
- Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Wholesale segment decreased 10.1% to 19.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, from 29.3% in the same prior-year quarter, due primarily to higher markdowns and higher expenses.
- Operating margin for the Company’s Europe segment decreased 2.3% to 11.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, from 13.5% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency and higher costs, partially offset by leveraging of expenses.

- Operating margin for the Company’s Licensing segment decreased 2.2% to 89.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, from 91.8% in the same prior-year quarter, mainly due to higher expenses.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $15.2 million compared to $7.8 million for the same prior-year quarter. The change was primarily due to net unrealized losses on the Company’s SERP-related assets compared to net unrealized gains in the same prior-year quarter and, to a lesser extent, higher unrealized losses from foreign currency exposures.

GAAP operating margin in the nine months ended October 29, 2022 decreased 2.3% to 7.7%, from 10.0% in the same prior-year period, driven primarily by the unfavorable currency impact, higher markdowns, higher costs and lower rent relief, partially offset by overall leveraging of expenses. The negative impact of currency on operating margin for the nine months ended October 29, 2022 was approximately 140 basis points.
For the nine months ended October 29, 2022, adjusted earnings from operations decreased 16% to $155.4 million, from $184.9 million in the same prior-year period.

- Operating margin for the Company’s Americas Retail segment decreased 6.5% to 9.6% in the nine months ended October 29, 2022, from 16.1% in the same prior-year period, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from higher markdowns, higher store labor costs and lower government subsidies compared to last year, partially offset by higher initial markups.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net for the nine months ended October 29, 2022 was $40.7 million compared to $11.5 million in the same prior-year period. The change was primarily due to higher net unrealized and realized losses from foreign currency exposures and, to a lesser extent, net unrealized losses on our SERP-related assets compared to net unrealized gains in the same prior-year period.

Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on December 23, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 7, 2022.
Share Repurchases
In March 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”), pursuant to which it initially received approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock (representing approximately $70.0 million, or 40%) of the $175.0 million notional amount of the ASR. The Company received a final delivery of an additional 5.2 million shares under the ASR on June 24, 2022. During the nine months ended October 29, 2022, the Company also repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of its common stock in open market transactions totaling $11.7 million.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
The financial information presented in this release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted results and outlook, constant currency financial information and free cash flows. The adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net (gains) losses on lease modifications, non-cash amortization of debt discount on the Company’s convertible senior notes, the related income tax effects of the foregoing items, the impact from changes in the income tax law on deferred income taxes in certain tax jurisdictions, net income tax settlements and adjustments to specific uncertain income tax positions, as well as certain discrete income tax adjustments related primarily to an intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, in each case where applicable. These non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company’s reported GAAP results and outlook.
The Company has excluded these items from its adjusted financial measures primarily because it believes these items are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business and the adjusted financial information provided is useful for investors to evaluate the comparability of the Company’s operating results and its future outlook (when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements). A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.
This release includes certain constant currency financial information. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amount reported from translating the Company’s foreign revenue, expenses and balance sheet amounts into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results under GAAP. The Company provides constant currency information to enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate net revenue and earnings (loss) from operations on a constant currency basis, actual or forecasted results for the current-year period are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. However, in calculating the estimated impact of currency on our earnings (loss) per share for our actual or forecasted results, the Company estimates gross margin (including the impact of merchandise-related hedges) and expenses using the appropriate prior-year rates, translates the estimated foreign earnings at the comparable prior-year rates, and excludes the year-over-year earnings impact of gains or losses arising from balance sheet remeasurement and foreign currency contracts not designated as merchandise hedges. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company includes information regarding its free cash flows in this release. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flows from operating activities less (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flows are not intended to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, but rather to provide additional visibility to investors regarding how much cash is generated for discretionary and non-discretionary items after deducting purchases of property and equipment and payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flow information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of reported GAAP cash flows from operating activities to the comparable non-GAAP free cash flow measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-looking statements, which are frequently indicated by terms such as “expect,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “goal,” “strategy,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “outlook,” “plan,” “create,” “see,” and similar terms, are only expectations, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from what is currently anticipated.

In addition to these factors, the economic, technological, managerial, and other risks identified in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the risk factors discussed therein, could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. The current global economic climate, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and uncertainty surrounding potential changes in U.S. policies and regulations may amplify many of these risks. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Footnotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Data | ||
Footnotes: | ||
1 | Amounts for the full fiscal year include (i) certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs which the Company otherwise would not have incurred as part of its business operations, (ii) asset impairment charges related primarily to impairment of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to certain retail locations resulting from lower revenue and future cash flow projections from under-performance and expected store closures, (iii) net gains (losses) on lease modifications related primarily to the early termination of certain lease agreements, and (iv) discrete income tax adjustments related primarily to the impacts from cumulative valuation allowances and the income tax benefits from an income tax rate change due to net operating loss carrybacks, in each case as recognized during the nine months ended October 29, 2022. See the heading “Presentation of Non-GAAP Information” for further information. The Company is unable to predict future amounts with respect to these items, as such amounts are inconsistent in magnitude and frequency and certain elements used to estimate such items have not yet occurred or are out of the Company’s control. As such, the Company has not considered any future charges or credits with respect to these items in the accompanying GAAP outlook. | |
2 | Amounts for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year represent the exclusion of the dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible notes for adjusted diluted shares and corresponding interest expenses at stock prices below $46.88, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution. The Company excludes the dilutive impact anticipated to be recorded in those periods as such amounts are known. The Company has not assumed any potential share dilution related to the related warrants. | |
3 | Prior to adoption of ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), for GAAP purposes, the Company incurred dilution above the initial strike price of the Company’s convertible senior notes of $25.78. At October 30, 2021, there was no dilution related to the convertible notes for the period. | |
4 | The adjusted results reflect the exclusion of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net (gains) losses on lease modifications, non-cash amortization of debt discount on the Company’s convertible senior notes, the related income tax impacts of these adjustments, as well as certain discrete income tax adjustments, where applicable. A reconciliation of actual results to adjusted results is presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Adjusted Results.” | |
5 | Amounts recorded represent certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs which the Company otherwise would not have incurred as part of its business operations. | |
6 | Amounts represent asset impairment charges related primarily to impairment of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to certain retail locations resulting from under-performance and expected store closures. | |
7 | Amounts recorded represent net (gains) losses on lease modifications related primarily to the early termination of certain lease agreements. | |
8 | In April 2019, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private offering. Prior to adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company separated the Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components. The debt discount, which represented an amount equal to the fair value of the equity component, was amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method as of January 30, 2022. Upon adoption, the equity component was eliminated and recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Prior periods are not affected. | |
9 | Amounts represent discrete income taxes related primarily to the adjustments from an intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, impacts from cumulative valuation allowances and the income tax benefits from an income tax rate change due to net operating loss carrybacks. | |
10 | The income tax effect of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net (gains) losses on lease modifications and the amortization of debt discount was based on the Company’s assessment of deductibility using the statutory income tax rate (inclusive of the impact of valuation allowances) of the tax jurisdiction in which the charges were incurred. |
