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, 2026 (the “2026 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, 2026 is derived from the audited annual financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2026 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 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01 "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.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (Topic 326)”, which allows entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset in the development of a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses. Entities electing the practical expedient are still required to adjust historical loss information to reflect current conditions to the extent that historical information does not reflect current conditions. An entity that elects to use the practical expedient is required to disclose that fact. The Company elected the practical expedient permitted under ASU 2025-05 in estimating credit losses for trade receivables. Adoption didnot have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which amends the guidance for capitalizing internal-use software developments costs. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” which provides targeted improvements to hedge accounting guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”, which clarifies the application of interim reporting disclosure requirements and introduces a principle requiring disclosure of material events and changes since the most recent annual reporting period. The ASU is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards and determined that they are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded zero and$0.6 million, respectively, in accruals for severance and employee-related charges which are included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and are included in the International locations in the Watch and Accessory segment.
During fiscal year 2026, the Company recorded $1.5 million in accruals for severance and employee-related charges which were included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 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. The amounts recorded in fiscal year 2026 and 2025 are included in both the United States and International locations in the Watch and Accessory segment. Of the total amounts recorded in fiscal year 2026 and 2025, $4.8 million of severance and employee-related charges was paid through fiscal year 2026, and $0.5 million of early lease termination-related fees and costs was paid/utilized through fiscal year 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2027,$0.3 million of severance and employee-related charges was paid. The remaining amount of $0.5 million is included in Accrued payroll and benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2026 and is expected to be paid during the remainder of fiscal year 2027.
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, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding: | ||
| Basic | 22,191 | 22,267 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| Stock awards and options to purchase shares ofcommon stock | 635 | 232 |
| Diluted | 22,826 | 22,499 |
For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 0.5 million and 0.8 million, 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, 2026, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of$0.35 per share for$7.7 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.35 per share for $7.8 million, that was payable on May 6, 2025.
NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES
Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
| April 30, 2026 | January 31, 2026 | April 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finished goods | $151,906 | $128,192 | $155,260 |
| Component parts | 26,833 | 27,127 | 29,030 |
| Work-in-process | 3,220 | 3,012 | 5,008 |
| $181,959 | $158,331 | $189,298 |
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 hasa maturity dateof October 28, 2026. The Facility includes a $15.0 million letterof 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, 2026, and April 30, 2025, there were no 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, 2026 and April 30, 2025. At April 30, 2026, the letters of credit have expiration dates through April 27, 2027. As of both April 30, 2026, and April 30, 2025, 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, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, and 2025, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss Francs for both periods, with a dollar equivalent of$8.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2026, and 2025, there wereno borrowings against these lines. As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf oftwo of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of$1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.8 million in both periods represented restricted deposits related to lease agreements.
Cash paid for interest, including unused commitments fees, was $0.1 million for both the three month periods ended April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025.
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, 2026, the Company's net forward contracts hedging portfolio designated as qualified cash flow hedging instruments consisted of $6.0 million Euros equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through July 15, 2026. 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, 2026, the Company’s net forward contracts hedging portfolio not designated as qualified hedges consisted of 12.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 27.6 million U.S. dollars equivalent,13.9 million Euros equivalent and 1.9 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through July 9,2026. 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, 2026, January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025 (in thousands):
| Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||

As of April 30, 2026, January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, the balance of net deferred gains on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) were an immaterial amount,$0 and ($1.1) million, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2026, and April 30, 2025, the Company reclassified $0 and ($0.1) million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No amounts associated with ineffectiveness has been recorded for the three months ended April 30, 2026.
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, 2026 and 2025 and January 31, 2026 (in thousands):

| Total | $49,633 | $1,263 | $— | $50,896 | |
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 eligible employees and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation on a career-average pay basis. The assets within the plan are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and consist primarily of investments in pooled funds, including separate employee accounts invested in equity securities, debt securities and real estate. The fair values of these investments are based on valuations provided by the fund administrators, which are not readily observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data; accordingly, these investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The net funded status of the plan, which reflects the fair value of plan assets less the projected benefit obligation, is included in Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2026, January 31, 2026, and April 30, 2025.
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 2026, the Company invested approximately$17.5 million and during the first three months of fiscal 2027, the Company invested an additional$0.5 million in venture capital funds. The Company will continue to regularly evaluate the carrying value of its investments. The carrying value of the investments is recorded in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2026, January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025. These investments are carried at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes, if any, as fair values are not readily determinable. Other than additional investments made during the three months ended April 30, 2026, there wereno impairment charges or observable price changes related to these investments.
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.
On April 28, 2025, the Company received a voluntary request from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for documents and information relating to the restatement previously reported in fiscal year 2025. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in responding to those requests.
In fiscal year 2026, the United States imposed additional “reciprocal” and other tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). The Company paid approximately $10.0 million in IEEPA tariffs between February 2025 and February 2026. The Company is evaluating potential recoveries following recent court rulings and U.S. Customs and Border Protection guidance. The Company has elected to apply a gain contingency model in accordance with ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies, to account for potential recoveries of previously paid IEEPA tariffs. Under this model, a gain contingency is not recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements until the gain is realized or realizable, which is at the earlier of when U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) affirms the Company's refund claim or the refund is received in cash.
In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) issued an audit report regarding the Company's methodology for allocating the cost of certain watch styles imported into the United States among their component parts for tariff purposes. The report challenged the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposed an alternative methodology that would have implied approximately $5.1 millionof underpaid duties for entries during the audit period (August 1, 2011 through July 15, 2016), plus potential penalties and interest. The statute of limitations has lapsed for all entries within the audit period. While the Company believes its cost allocation methodology is reasonable, its application involves significant judgment, including estimates and assumptions related to (i) allocations for imported watches purchased by the Company's foreign subsidiaries as complete watches, for which component cost detail is not fully available, and (ii) the allocation among component parts of intercompany overhead and profit and of assembly costs. If CBP were to disagree with the Company's judgments in these areas, the Company could be exposed to assessments for underpayment of tariffs.
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, 2026, 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 $1.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 22.0% and 34.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The significant components of the effective tax rate for the three month period changed primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the current year as compared to deficiencies in the prior year, and changes in jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by changes in certain foreign valuation allowances.
At April 30, 2026, the Company hadno deferred tax liability for substantially all of the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $255.0 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.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law by President Trump. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 or fiscal 2026.
