Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Movado Group, Inc. (the “Company”), in a manner consistent with that used in the preparation of the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data at January 31, 2025 is derived from the audited annual financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE 1A – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In late January 2025, the Company became aware of allegations of misconduct within the Dubai branch (the “Dubai Branch”) of the Company’s Swiss subsidiary, MGI Luxury Group Sárl, related to sales to certain customers in the Middle East, India & Asia Pacific region (the “Affected Region”). Promptly thereafter, the Company retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation into these allegations. Based on that investigation, the Company has determined that the former managing director of the Dubai Branch, who oversaw the Affected Region, as well as certain employees under his direction, took actions that resulted in an overstatement of sales, premature recognition of sales, and underreporting of credit notes (e.g., sales discounts) owed to customers in the Affected Region. These actions included the use of a third-party warehouse unknown to the Company’s management to facilitate the premature recognition of sales, and the falsification of documents to circumvent internal controls. The conduct occurred over a period of approximately five years (beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2021). The investigation has not identified any impact to reported sales to customers in other regions, nor has the investigation identified any knowledge of, or participation in, the misconduct by Company employees (whether members of management or otherwise) outside of the Affected Region. The Company has terminated the now former managing director of the Dubai Branch.

The Company concluded that its historical consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, and the interim periods within fiscal years 2025 and 2024, required restatement to properly record the extent and timing of sales earned and credits issued during the relevant time period. Additionally, the restated interim periods of fiscal 2025 reflected a reduction in operating expenses as a result of the reversal of certain accruals due to the lower adjusted operating results. The misstatements did not impact the Company’s cash flows or compliance with the debt covenants in the Company’s credit agreement. The restatement of the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023 and for the quarterly periods ended October 31, 2024, July 31, 2024, April 30, 2024, October 31, 2023, July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 was reflected in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which should be referred to in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements.

The Company has included herein its restated unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements at April 30, 2024 and for the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024.

The Company has also included restated impacted amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On April 28, 2025, the Company received a voluntary request for documents and information relating to that restatement from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company is cooperating with the SEC in responding to those requests.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires expanded income tax disclosures primarily related to an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and the amendments in this ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoption in its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 - COST-SAVINGS INITIATIVE

During fiscal year 2025, in light of the ongoing challenging consumer-spending environment, the Company committed to a cost-savings initiative to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, bringing them more in line with sales.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company recorded $0.6 million in accruals for severance and employee-related charges which are included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended April 30, 2025. During the second half of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded $4.6 million in accruals for severance and employee-related charges and early lease termination charges which were included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2025. The amounts recorded in fiscal year 2026 are included in the Watch and Accessory segment in the International locations, and the amounts recorded in fiscal year 2025 were included in both the United States and International locations in the Watch and Accessory segment.

Of the total amount recorded, $1.3 million related to severance and employee-related charges was paid during fiscal year 2025, and $1.0 million related to severance and employee-related charges was paid during the first three months of fiscal year 2026. Of the remaining amount,$2.4 million is included in Accrued payroll and benefits and $0.5 million is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2025. The Company expects the remaining severance and employee-related expenses and the early lease termination expenses to be paid during the remainder of fiscal year 2026.

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE AND CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company presents net income attributable to Movado Group, Inc. after adjusting for noncontrolling interests, as applicable, per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share is computed using weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for dilutive common stock equivalents.

The number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended April 30,
20252024
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic22,26722,253
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock awards and options to purchase shares ofcommon stock232420
Diluted22,49922,673

For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 781,000 and 590,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company declared a cash dividend of$0.35 per share for$7.8 million, payable on May 6, 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share for $7.8 million.

NOTE 6 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT

The Company and its U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement originally dated October 12, 2018 (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) and has a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The Facility includes a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $25.0 million swingline subfacility and a $75.0 million sublimit for borrowings by the Swiss Borrower, with provisions for uncommitted increases to the Facility of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate subject to customary terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions).

The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower, except that the Swiss Borrower is not liable for, nor does it guarantee, the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers' obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the U.S. Borrowers' assets other than certain excluded assets. The Swiss Borrower does not provide collateral to secure the obligations under the Facility.

As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, there wereno amounts of loans outstanding under the Facility. Availability under the Facility was reduced by the aggregate number of letters of credit outstanding, issued in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada, totaling approximately $0.3 million at both April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024. At April 30, 2025, the letters of credit have expiration dates through June 2, 2025. As of both April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, availability under the Facility was $99.7 million.

The Company had weighted average borrowings under the Facility ofzero during both the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's Swiss subsidiary maintains unsecured lines of credit with a Swiss bank that are subject to repayment upon demand. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of$7.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2025, and 2024, there wereno borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2025 and 2024, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf oftwo of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of$1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.8 million, for both periods, was a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.

Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was$0.1 million for both the three month periods ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company addresses certain financial exposures that include the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of April 30, 2025, the Company's net forward contracts hedging portfolio designated as qualified cash flow hedging instruments consisted of 24.0 million Euros equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through October 23, 2025. The net gain or loss on the derivatives is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings using the same revenue or expense category that the hedged item impacted. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts not designated as qualified hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of April 30, 2025, the Company’s net forward contracts hedging portfolio not designated as qualified hedges consisted of 24.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 30.5 million U.S. dollars equivalent,10.6 million Euros equivalent and 1.3 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through October 10, 2025. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise. Net gains or losses related to these forward contracts are included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are classified in operating activities.

The following table presents the fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024 (in thousands):

For the three months ended April 30, 2025, and April 30, 2024, the Company reclassified ($0.1) millionand $0.1 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) to Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No ineffectiveness has been recorded for the three months ended April 30, 2025.

See Note 8 -Fair Value Measurements for fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance 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 the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2025 and 2024 and January 31, 2025 (in thousands):

The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the short-term investment, which is a guaranteed investment certificate, is based on its purchase price plus one half of one percent calculated annually. The assets related to the Company’s defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) consist of both employer (employee unvested) and employee assets which are invested in investment funds with fair values calculated based on quoted market prices. The SERP liability represents the Company’s liability to the employees in the plan for their vested balances. The hedge derivatives consist of cash flow hedging instruments and forward contracts (see Note 7 for further discussion) and are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to Swiss Franc and Euro exchange rate risks. Fair values of the Company’s hedge derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates and quoted interest rates.

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland. The plan covers certain international employees and is based on years of service and compensation on a career-average pay basis. The assets within the plan are classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy and consist of an investment in pooled assets and include separate employee accounts that are invested in equity securities, debt securities and real estate. The values of the separate accounts invested are based on values provided by the administrator of the funds that cannot be readily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The value of the assets is part of the defined benefit plan and included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025, and April 30, 2024.

There wereno transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.

Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values

From time to time the Company may make minority investments in growth companies in the consumer products sector and other sectors relevant to its business, including certain of the Company's suppliers and customers, as well as in venture capital funds that invest in companies in media, entertainment, information technology and technology-related fields and in digital assets. Through fiscal 2025, the Company invested approximately$14.1 million and during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company invested an additional$1.3 million in venture capital funds. The Company has evaluated and will regularly evaluate the carrying value of its investments. The carrying value of the investments are recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2024.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has minimum commitments related to the Company’s license agreements and endorsement agreements with brand ambassadors, and also includes service agreements. The Company sources, distributes, advertises and sells watches and jewelry pursuant to its exclusive license agreements with unaffiliated licensors. Royalty amounts under the license agreements are generally based on a stipulated percentage of revenues, although most of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of minimum annual royalty amounts. The license agreements have various terms, and some have renewal options, provided that minimum sales levels are achieved. Additionally, the license agreements require the Company to pay minimum annual advertising amounts.

The Company believes that income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accordingly, the Company could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, state, and foreign liabilities in the future as the Company revises estimates or settles or otherwise resolves the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may take new positions that could increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.

In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputed the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would imply $5.1 million in underpaid duties for all imports that entered the United States during the audit period which extended from August 1, 2011, through July 15, 2016, plus possible penalties and interest. Although the Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate were not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and consistently disputed U.S. Customs’ position, the Company previously established reserves for a portion of the alleged underpayment indicated in the audit report. Between February 2017 and January 2021, the Company made numerous submissions to U.S. Customs containing supplemental analyses and information in response to U.S. Customs’ information requests. On May 1, 2023, the statute of limitations lapsed with respect to all entries encompassed by the audit period. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company released the reserves that it had established in respect of those entries.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. As of April 30, 2025, the Company is party to legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations beyond the amounts accrued, or cash flows.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The effective tax rate was 34.0% and 48.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to changes in valuation allowances against certain foreign losses and a limitation on a portion of the foreign tax credits and deductions related to the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), partially offset by excess tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation and changes in jurisdictional earnings.

At April 30, 2025, the Company hadno deferred tax liability for substantially all of the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $224.3 million because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings in its foreign operations. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability related to a future distribution of these permanently reinvested foreign earnings.

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company follows accounting guidance related to disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. This guidance requires disclosure of segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires expanded disclosures about an entity’s reportable segments, including more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how an entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The Company adopted this new guidance for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, and on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. This ASU does not change how an entity identifies its operating segments.

The Company conducts its business intwo operating segments: Watch and Accessory Brands and Company Stores. The Company’s Watch and Accessory Brands segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches and, to a lesser extent, jewelry and other accessories, of owned and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Company Stores segment includes the Company’s retail outlet business. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the CODM and regularly reviews operating results for each of thetwo operating segments to assess performance and makes operating decisions about the allocation of the Company’s resources. The Company’s CODM evaluates operating results based on gross profit, defined as net sales less cost of sales, and operating income, defined as gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses gross profit and operating income in the budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-current forecast and prior forecast-to-current forecast variances for gross profit and operating income for evaluating performance of the segments and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment.

The Company divides its business intotwo major geographic locations: United States operations and International, which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations. The allocation of geographic revenue is based upon the location of the customer. The Company’s International operations in Europe, the Americas (excluding the United States), the Middle East and Asia accounted for 33.6%,10.9%,7.7% and 6.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025. For the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company’s International operations in Europe, the Americas (excluding the United States), the Middle East and Asia accounted for 32.7%,10.2%,8.2% and 7.6%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales.
