NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fossil Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).

The information presented herein includes the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2024 (“First Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2023 (“Prior Year Quarter”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2024, and the results of operations for the First Quarter and Prior Year Quarter. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as amended (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the First Quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), 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 date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on the information available at the time and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Business. The Company is a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Its principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, the Company has a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which its products are marketed. The Company's products are distributed globally through various distribution channels, including wholesale in countries where it has a physical presence, direct to the consumer through its retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where the Company does not maintain a physical presence. The Company's products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of its customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on its extensive range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, the Company is able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative ("SG&A"), other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of the Company's retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, and design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reduce and optimize the Company’s infrastructure and store closures. See "Note 16—Restructuring" for additional information on the Company’s restructuring plan.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method.

9

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024		For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc.	$	(24,296)	$	(41,262)
Denominator:
Basic EPS computation:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	52,491		51,840
Basic EPS	$	(0.46)	$	(0.80)
Diluted EPS computation:
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	52,491		51,840
Diluted EPS	$	(0.46)	$	(0.80)

At the end of the First Quarter, approximately 1.9 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.3 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the First Quarter.

At the end of the Prior Year Quarter, approximately 2.0 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.3 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Prior Year Quarter.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Restricted cash included in intangible and other-assets net was comprised primarily of pledged collateral to secure bank guarantees for the purpose of obtaining retail space. The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances as of March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 that are presented in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):

	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	112,889	$	127,111
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets	78		107
Restricted cash included in intangible and other assets-net	3,896		5,036
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	116,863	$	132,254

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update will require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Company's chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and expanded interim disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). The amendments in ASU 2023-06 modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification"), with the intention of clarifying or improving them and to align the requirements in the Codification with the

10

regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). The effective date for ASU 2023-06 varies and is determined for each individual disclosure based on the effective date of the SEC's removal of the related disclosure. ASU 2023-06 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and over 140 countries have agreed to enact a two-pillar solution to reform the international tax rules to address the challenges arising from the globalization and digitalization of the economy. "The Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules" provide a coordinated system to ensure that multinational enterprises with revenues above 750 million euro pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15% tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Many aspects of Pillar Two will be effective for tax years beginning in January 2024, with certain remaining impacts to be effective in 2025. Each country must enact its own legislation to apply the Pillar Two rules. The Company does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its financial results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity for 2024, but will continue to monitor future developments.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense and related effective rates were as follows (in thousands, except percentage data):

	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024			For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(6,117)		$	1,603
Effective tax rate	20.1		%	(4.1)		%

The effective tax rate in the First Quarter was favorable as compared to the Prior Year Quarter due to the Company recognizing $9.6 million of favorable discrete items, including the release of uncertain tax positions and additional

accrued interest income. The overall tax rate is impacted by the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which requires the inclusion of certain foreign income in the tax return which absorbs the U.S. net operating loss. Foreign income taxes are also paid on this same foreign income, resulting in double taxation. The effective tax rate can vary from quarter-to-quarter due to changes in the Company's global mix of earnings, the resolution of income tax audits and changes in tax law.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company's total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was $17.3 million, all of which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The Company filed amended US income tax returns for 2014-2017 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES

12

Act”) which included a provision for the carryback of U.S. NOLs. The IRS reviewed the Company’s 2019 and 2020 U.S. tax returns and resulting net operating losses, as well as the tax returns for 2014-2017, which were the carryback years. The Company received the income tax refund for the 2019 U.S tax NOL carryback in fiscal year 2021. On March 27, 2024, the Company was informed that its 2019, 2020, and NOL carryback claims were approved by the IRS and Joint Committee on Taxation. In April 2024, the Company received $57.3 million of tax refunds. The Company released corresponding uncertain tax positions of $8.8 million in the First Quarter. The Company reasonably expects that certain remaining uncertain tax positions will be resolved within the next twelve months, which if resolved favorably, would impact the tax rate by a benefit of approximately $14.5 million, including interest.

The Company is also subject to examinations in various state and foreign jurisdictions for its 2013-2022 tax years, none of which the Company believes are significant, individually or in the aggregate. Tax audit outcomes and timing of tax audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.

The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as long-term income taxes payable, unless such amounts are expected to be settled within twelve months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. As of March 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for positions that are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Consistent with its past practice, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax overpayments and income tax underpayments in income tax expense and income taxes receivable/payable. At March 30, 2024, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.6 million of which $7.2 million is accrued interest expense and $4.6 million is accrued interest income. There were no accrued tax-related penalties.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common and Preferred Stock. The Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, with 52,491,710 and 52,487,020 shares issued and outstanding at March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, with none issued or outstanding at March 30, 2024 or December 30, 2023. Rights, preferences and other terms of preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance.

Common Stock Repurchase Programs. Purchases of the Company’s common stock are made from time to time pursuant to its repurchase programs, subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through the open market. Repurchased shares of common stock are recorded at cost and become authorized but unissued shares which may be issued in the future for general corporate or other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit its stock repurchase program at any time. In the event the repurchased shares are cancelled, the Company accounts for retirements by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained (deficit) earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances. The repurchase programs are conducted pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.

As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, all treasury stock had been effectively retired. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had $20.0 million of repurchase authorizations remaining under its repurchase program. The Company did not repurchase any common stock under its authorized stock repurchase plans during the First Quarter or Prior Year Quarter.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit activity during the First Quarter:

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
	(in Thousands)
Nonvested at December 30, 2023	1,918	$	6.19

Vested	(7)	10.28
Forfeited	(89)	7.16
Nonvested at March 30, 2024	1,834	$	6.09

The total fair value of restricted stock units vested was less than $0.1 million during the First Quarter. Vesting of performance restricted stock units is based on achievement of operating margin growth and achievement of sales growth and operating margin targets in relation to the performance of a certain identified peer group.

Long-Term Incentive Plans. On the date of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting, each non-employee director automatically receives a grant of restricted stock units which vest 100% on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the date of the Company's next annual stockholders meeting, provided such director is providing services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company on that date. Beginning with the grant in fiscal year 2021, non-employee directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the restricted stock units settled in common stock of the Company upon the vesting date. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2021, non-employee directors may defer the cash portion of their annual fees. Each participant may also elect to have the cash portion of his or her annual fees for each calendar year treated as if invested in units of common stock of the Company.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports segment information based on the “management approach.” The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments are comprised of (i) Americas, (ii) Europe and (iii) Asia. Each reportable operating segment includes sales to wholesale and distributor customers, and sales through Company-owned retail stores and e-commerce activities based on the location of the selling entity. The Americas segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Canada, Latin America and the United States. The Europe segment primarily includes sales to customers based in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Australia, greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Each reportable operating segment provides similar products and services.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income (loss). Net sales for geographic segments are based on the location of the selling entity. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Corporate includes peripheral revenue generating activities from factories and intellectual property and general corporate expenses, including certain administrative, legal, accounting, technology support costs, equity compensation costs, payroll costs attributable to

15

executive management, brand management, product development, art, creative/product design, marketing, strategy, compliance and back office supply chain expenses that are not allocated to the various segments because they are managed at the corporate level internally. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.

Summary information by operating segment was as follows (in thousands):

	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024				For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023

10. DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Cash Flow Hedges. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are the fluctuations in global currencies that will ultimately be used by non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries to settle future payments of intercompany inventory transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. Specifically, the Company projects future intercompany purchases by its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries generally over a period of up to 24 months. The Company enters into forward contracts, generally for up to 85% of the forecasted purchases, to manage fluctuations in global currencies that will ultimately be used to settle such U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Additionally, the Company enters into forward contracts to manage fluctuations in Japanese yen exchange rates that will be used to settle future third-party inventory component purchases by a U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary. Forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon settlement date and exchange rate. These forward contracts are designated as single cash flow hedges. Fluctuations in exchange rates will either increase or decrease the Company’s U.S. dollar equivalent cash flows from these inventory transactions, which will affect the Company’s U.S. dollar earnings. Gains or losses on the forward contracts are expected to offset these fluctuations to the extent the cash flows are hedged by the forward contracts.

For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

16

As of March 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were entered into to hedge future payments of inventory transactions (in millions):

Functional Currency		Contract Currency
Type	Amount	Type	Amount
Euro	29.8	U.S. dollar	33.3
Canadian dollar	15.7	U.S. dollar	11.8
British pound	2.6	U.S. dollar	3.3
Mexican peso	39.6	U.S. dollar	2.2
Japanese yen	236.1	U.S. dollar	1.8
Australian dollar	1.8	U.S. dollar	1.2
U.S. dollar	2.2	Japanese yen	300.0

Non-designated Hedges. The Company also periodically enters into forward contracts to manage exchange rate risks associated with certain intercompany transactions and for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment. As of March 30, 2024, the Company did not have any non-designated forward contracts outstanding. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had non-designated forward contracts of $1.5 million on 27.1 million rand associated with a South African rand-denominated foreign subsidiary. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings when they occur.

As of March 30, 2024, an estimated net gain of $1.0 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months at prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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 quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

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

18

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 30, 2024 (in thousands):

	Fair Value at March 30, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Forward contracts	$	—	$	1,286	$	—	$	1,286

Forward contracts	—		1,079		—		1,079
Total	$	—	$	1,079	$	586	$	1,665

The fair values of the Company’s forward contracts are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. See "Note 10—Derivatives and Risk Management", for additional disclosures about the forward contracts.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company's Notes (as defined in Note 15— Debt Activity), excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, were recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of approximately $67.5 million. The fair value of the Company's Notes was based on Level 1 inputs. The Company's Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 15—Debt Activity) was recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $57.5 million and a fair value of approximately $44.6 million. The fair value of the Company's Revolving Facility was based on Level 2 inputs.

During the First Quarter, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets with a carrying amount of $1.8 million and property, plant and equipment-net with a carrying value of $0.2 million were written down to a fair value of $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $0.4 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, $0.1 million of impairment charges were recorded for ROU assets with a carrying amount of $0.1 million.

The fair values of operating lease ROU assets and fixed assets related to retail stores were determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows and discount rates. Of the $0.4 million impairment expense in the First Quarter, $0.2 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Asia segment and $0.2 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Europe segment. The $0.1 million impairment expense in the Prior Year Quarter, was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Europe segment.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation. The Company is occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any currently pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. 

20

14. LEASES

The Company's leases consist primarily of retail space, offices, warehouses, distribution centers, equipment and vehicles. The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at inception based on the Company's right to the economic benefits of the leased assets and its right to direct the use of the leased asset. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset, and ROU liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date adjusted for the lease term and lease country to determine the present value of the lease payments.

Some leases include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from approximately one to ten additional years. The renewal options are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and ROU liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less at inception. The Company does not record a related lease asset or liability for short-term leases. The Company has certain leases containing lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. The Company has certain lease agreements where lease payments are based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The variable portion of these lease payments is not included in the Company's lease liabilities. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant restrictions or covenants other than those that are customary in such arrangements.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

Lease Cost	Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Location	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024		For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023

15. DEBT ACTIVITY

On September 26, 2019, the Company and Fossil Partners L.P., as the U.S. borrowers, and Fossil Group Europe GmbH, Fossil Asia Pacific Limited, Fossil (Europe) GmbH, Fossil (UK) Limited and Fossil Canada Inc., as the non-U.S. borrowers, certain other subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto designated as borrowers, and certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, entered into a $275.0 million secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the "ABL Agent"), J.P. Morgan AG, as French collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents and each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "ABL Lenders"). On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to the Revolving Facility. The Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to November 8, 2027 (provided, that if the Company has any indebtedness in an amount in excess of $35 million that matures prior to November 8, 2027, the maturity date of the credit facility shall be the 91st day prior to the maturity date of such other indebtedness) and (ii) changed the calculation methodology of the borrowing base to include the value of certain of the Company’s intellectual property in such methodology and to provide for seasonal increases to certain advance rates.

In November 2021, the Company sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), generating net proceeds of approximately $141.7 million. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Base Indenture") and a first supplemental indenture (the "First Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture") with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and will rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and the Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the

22

Company’s subsidiaries (excluding any amounts owed by such subsidiaries to the Company). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. The Notes mature on November 30, 2026.

The Company may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at its option. On and after November 30, 2023, the Company may redeem the Notes at the following prices: (i) on or after November 30, 2023 and prior to November 30, 2024, at a price equal to $25.50 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, (ii) on or after November 30, 2024 and prior to November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.25 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes and (iii) on or after November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.00 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, plus (in each case noted above) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Indenture contains customary events of default and cure provisions. If an event of default (other than an event of default of the type described in the following sentence) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the Notes shall, declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, premium and additional amounts, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, and premium, if any, on the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes.

The Revolving Facility provides that the ABL Lenders may extend revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $225.0 million at any time outstanding (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), of which up to $125.0 million is available under a U.S. facility, an aggregate of $80.0 million is available under a European facility, $10.0 million is available under a Hong Kong facility, $5.0 million is available under a French facility, and $5.0 million is available under a Canadian facility, in each case, subject to the borrowing base availability limitations described below. The Revolving Facility also includes an up to $45.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”). The French facility includes a $1.0 million subfacility for swingline loans, and the European facility includes a $7.0 million subfacility for swingline loans. The Revolving Facility is subject to a line cap equal to the lesser of the total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate borrowing bases under the U.S. facility, the European facility, the Hong Kong facility, the French facility and the Canadian facility. Loans under the Revolving Facility may be made in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, Hong Kong dollars or pounds sterling.

The Revolving Facility is an asset-based facility, in which borrowing availability is subject to a borrowing base equal to:(a) with respect to the Company, the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible U.S. accounts receivable, plus (iii) 90% of eligible U.S. credit card accounts receivable, plus (iv) the lesser of (x) 40% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. intellectual property and (y) $20.0 million, minus (v) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; (b) with respect to each non-U.S. borrower (except for the French Borrower), the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible foreign accounts receivable of such non-U.S. borrower, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; and (c) with respect to the French Borrower, (i) 85% of eligible French accounts receivable minus (ii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent. Not more than 60% of the aggregate borrowing base under the Revolving Facility may consist of the non-U.S. borrowing bases. The above advance rates (other than the advance rates with respect to intellectual property) are seasonally increased by 5% (e.g. from 90% to 95%) during the period commencing on the date of delivery of the borrowing base certificate with respect to the second fiscal month of the Company and ending on the last day of the period covered by the borrowing base certificate delivered with respect to the fifth fiscal month of the Company.

The Revolving Facility also includes a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.250% or 0.375% determined by reference to the average daily unused portion of the overall commitment under the Revolving Facility. The ABL Borrowers will pay the ABL Agent, on the account of the issuing ABL Lenders, an issuance fee of 0.125% for any issued Letters of Credit.

The ABL Borrowers have the right to request an increase to the commitments under the Revolving Facility or any subfacility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million in increments no less than $10.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions as defined in the Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility is secured by guarantees by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company and such subsidiaries have granted liens on all or substantially all of their assets in order to secure the obligations under the Revolving Facility. In addition, the Swiss Borrower, the Hong Kong Borrower, the French Borrower, the German Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, and the other non-U.S. borrowers from time to time party to the Revolving Facility are required to enter into security instruments with respect to all or substantially all of their assets that can be pledged under applicable local law, and certain of their respective subsidiaries may guarantee the respective non-U.S. obligations under the

23

Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, such as compliance with annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements disclosures. Upon an event of default, the ABL Agent will have the right to declare the revolving loans and other obligations outstanding immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated or reduced, subject to cure periods and grace periods set forth in the Revolving Facility.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company had $150.0 million and $57.5 million outstanding under the Notes and Revolving Facility, respectively. The Company had net payments of $4.6 million under the Revolving Facility during the First Quarter. Amounts available under the Revolving Facility were reduced by any amounts outstanding under standby Letters of Credit. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $9.9 million under the Revolving Facility. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.6 million recorded in long-term debt and $2.3 million recorded in intangible and other assets-net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred approximately $2.6 million and $1.0 million of interest expense related to the Notes and Revolving Facility, respectively, during the First Quarter. The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million of interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs during the First Quarter. At March 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to its credit facilities.

16. RESTRUCTURING

In fiscal year 2023, the Company announced its Transform and Grow strategy ("TAG") designed to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The Company expanded the scope and duration of TAG to focus on a more comprehensive review of its global business operations. The expansion of TAG will put greater emphasis on initiatives to exit or minimize certain product offerings, brands and distribution, and to strengthen gross margin and increase the level of operating expense efficiencies. TAG is estimated to generate approximately $300 million of annualized operating benefits by the end of 2025. The Company estimates approximately $100 million to $120 million in total charges over the duration of TAG and estimates approximately $25 million in remaining charges associated with the TAG Plan to be incurred during fiscal year 2024. Aided by these measures, the Company's long-term goal is to achieve adjusted gross margins in the low to mid 50% range and adjusted operating margins of approximately 10%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Fossil Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2024 (the “First Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2023 (the “Prior Year Quarter”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview

We are a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Our principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts, and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, we have a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which our products are marketed.

Our products are distributed globally through various distribution channels including wholesale in countries where we have a physical presence, direct to the consumer through our retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where we do not maintain a physical presence. Our products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of our customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on our range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, we are able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.

Known or Anticipated Trends

Based on our recent operating results and current perspectives on our operating environment, we anticipate the following trends will continue to impact our operating results:

Economic Environment Impacting Consumer Spending Ability and Preferences: Macroeconomic factors, including inflation and increased interest rates, impacted customer behavior in fiscal year 2023. In 2024, macroeconomic headwinds are expected to continue. This includes persistent inflation and elevated short term interest rates in addition to slowing economic conditions in many of our major markets. While the impact of these macroeconomic factors are difficult to quantify, we expect these conditions to have a negative impact on consumer confidence and consumer demand for discretionary goods in many of our major markets.

Inventory Levels: Throughout 2023 and into 2024, slower consumer demand across a wide array of discretionary goods has translated in some cases to excess inventory levels in key accounts and overall cautious buying patterns across our wholesale customers. With the challenging global macro environment, we expect many customers to continue to manage to leaner inventory levels than the prior year across our key categories to reduce inventory carrying risk. We will also continue to proactively manage our inventory purchases to mitigate our cash flow and inventory risks.

World Conflicts: We continuously monitor the direct and indirect impacts from the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. Our operations in Russia and Israel consist of sales through third-party distributors, and sales to these distributors are currently on hold. Our sales in Russia and Israel are not material to our financial results. We have no other operations, including supply chain, in Israel, Palestine, Russia or Ukraine. However, the continuation of the current military conflicts or an escalation of the conflicts beyond their current scope may continue to weaken the global economy, negatively impact consumer confidence, and could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints.

Supply Chain: Our business is subject to the risks inherent in global sourcing supply. We rely on domestic and foreign suppliers to provide us with merchandise in a timely manner and at favorable prices. Certain key components in our products come from limited sources of supply, which exposes us to potential supply shortages that could disrupt the manufacture and sale of our products. Any interruption or delay in the supply of key components could significantly harm our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our customers and cause us to lose sales.

Among our foreign suppliers, China is the source of a substantial majority of our imports. A material increase in the cost of our products or transportation without any offsetting price increases or a disruption in the flow of finished goods from China may significantly increase our costs.

Data: We depend on information technology systems, the Internet and computer networks for a substantial portion of our retail and e-commerce businesses, including credit card transaction authorization and processing. We also receive and store personal information about our customers and employees, the protection of which is critical to us. In the normal course of our business, we collect, retain, and transmit certain sensitive and confidential customer information, including credit card information, over public networks. Despite the security measures we currently have in place, our facilities and systems and those of our third party service providers have been, and will continue to be, vulnerable to theft of physical information,

26

security breaches, hacking attempts, computer viruses and malware, ransomware, phishing, lost data and programming and/or human errors. To date, none of these risks, intrusions, attacks or human error have resulted in any material liability to us. While we carry insurance policies that would provide liability coverage for certain of these matters, if we experience a significant security incident, we could be subject to liability or other damages that exceed our insurance coverage. In addition, we cannot be certain that such insurance policies will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

Business Strategies and Outlook: Our goal is to drive shareholder value and make a positive impact on our people, planet and communities. We continue to operate in a very challenging business environment for our product offerings. In early 2023, we initiated our Transform and Grow plan (“TAG”), which was designed primarily to reduce operating expenses in order to improve operating margins and advance our path to profitable growth. This initial phase of TAG was designed to deliver $100 million in annualized cost savings by the end of fiscal year 2024.

In August 2023, as a result of a more comprehensive review of our business operations, we expanded the scope of TAG to include seven key workstreams. Our goal in expanding TAG was to put additional emphasis on initiatives aimed at restructuring or optimizing our operations, exit or minimize certain product offerings, brands and distribution channels, strengthen gross margins through improvements in our sourcing and improve our working capital efficiency. Additionally, the board of directors has established a Special Board Committee to provide primary board oversight of our Transformation Office and drive accountability, timeliness and results in TAG. Approximately half of the TAG workstreams are designed to structurally improve our gross margins. Our 300 basis point gross margin rate improvement in the First Quarter versus the Prior Year Quarter reflects our exit of the smartwatch category, lower freight costs and improved product margins in our core categories. Our TAG workstreams on product sourcing and supply chain are expected to generate incremental year-over-year gross margin improvement in the latter part of fiscal 2024. The remaining TAG workstreams are focused on removing costs from our expense structure with the goal of (i) re-calibrating our operating model for greater efficiency and lower fixed costs, (ii) driving savings in our procurement practices, and (iii) optimizing our direct channel operating costs. In the First Quarter, operating expenses declined 20% as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, reflecting savings across headcount, labor and services, which were initiated in fiscal 2023. We anticipate that our initiatives will continue to generate year-over-year operating expense savings in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2024.

Under the expanded plan, the Company increased the estimated economic benefits from the original $100 million in annualized cost savings target to be achieved by the end of fiscal 2024 to $300 million in annualized operating income benefits to be achieved by the end of fiscal 2025. Under the expanded program, we accelerated organizational restructuring, exited the smartwatch category, closed 45 underperforming stores in 2023 and expect to close approximately 50 underperforming stores in fiscal 2024. We have also reduced sku complexity across all categories in our assortment. Additionally, in 2024, we have begun to implement key elements from our sourcing initiatives under TAG and expect to realize benefits in the second half of the year.

In connection with TAG, the Company expects to incur charges of approximately $100 million to $120 million over the duration of TAG and estimates approximately $25 million of charges for the remainder of fiscal year 2024.

In March 2024, the Company announced it would undertake a strategic review of its current business model and capital structure. This includes a broader set of efforts to optimize its business model and further reduce structural costs, monetize various assets, and could include additional debt and equity financing options.

As we execute against the entire scope of TAG, we have an opportunity to improve our operating fundamentals, right size our cost structure, and return to sales growth. Aided by these measures, our long-term goal is to achieve adjusted gross margins above 50% and adjusted operating margins of approximately 10%.

For a more complete discussion of the risks facing our business, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

Operating Segments

We operate our business in three segments which are divided into geographies. Net sales for each geographic segment are based on the location of the selling entity, and each reportable segment provides similar products and services.

Americas: The Americas segment is comprised of sales from our operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors, and direct to consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 135 Company-owned stores as of the end of the First Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.

Europe: The Europe segment is comprised of sales to customers based in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors and direct to

27

consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors, and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 73 Company-owned stores as of the end of the First Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.

Asia: The Asia segment is comprised of sales to customers based in Australia, greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Sales are generated through diversified distribution channels that include wholesalers, distributors and direct to consumer. Within each channel, we sell our products through a variety of physical points of sale, distributors, and e-commerce channels. In the direct to consumer channel, we had 69 Company-owned stores as of the end of the First Quarter and an extensive collection of products available through our owned websites.

Key Measures of Financial Performance and Key Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Constant Currency Financial Information: As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The translation of the operations of our foreign-based entities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and can have a significant impact on our reported financial results. In general, our overall financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business.

As a result, in addition to presenting financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), our discussion contains references to constant currency financial information, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. To calculate net sales on a constant currency basis, net sales for the current fiscal year for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. We present constant currency information to provide investors with a basis to evaluate how our underlying business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The constant currency financial information presented herein should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between constant currency financial information and the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included where applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our income (loss) before income taxes, plus interest expense, amortization and depreciation, impairment expense, other non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt minus interest income. We define Adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) before impairment expense and restructuring expense. We define Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share as net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, before impairment expense, restructuring expense and unamortized debt issuance costs included in loss on extinguishment of debt. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share herein because they are widely used by investors for valuation and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of our competitors. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share are not intended to be used as alternatives to any measure of our performance in accordance with GAAP.

Comparable Retail Sales: Both stores and e-commerce sites are included in comparable retail sales in the thirteenth month of operation. Stores that experience a gross square footage increase of 10% or more due to an expansion and/or relocation are removed from the comparable store sales base, but are included in total sales. These stores are returned to the comparable store sales base in the thirteenth month following the expansion and/or relocation. Comparable retail sales also exclude the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.

Store Counts: While macroeconomic factors have shifted sales away from traditional brick and mortar stores towards digital channels, store counts continue to provide a key metric for management. Over time, we have made progress right-sizing our fleet of stores, focusing on closing our least profitable stores, and the size and quality of our store fleet have a direct impact on our sales and profitability.

Total Liquidity: We define total liquidity as cash and cash equivalents plus available borrowings on our revolving credit facility. We monitor and forecast total liquidity to ensure we can meet our financial obligations.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues from sales of our products, including those that are subject to inventory consignment agreements, are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect

28

to be entitled in exchange for the product. We accept limited returns from customers. We continually monitor returns and maintain a provision for estimated returns based upon historical experience and any specific issues identified. Our product returns are accounted for as reductions to revenue and cost of sales and an increase to customer liabilities and other current assets to the extent the returned product is resalable.

Cost of Sales includes raw material costs, assembly labor, assembly overhead including depreciation expense, assembly warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from assembly locations to sales distribution centers and from sales distribution centers to customer locations. Additionally, cost of sales includes customs duties, product packaging cost, royalty cost associated with sales of licensed products, the cost of molding and tooling, inventory shrinkage and damages and restructuring charges.

Gross Profit and gross profit margin are influenced by our diversified business model that includes, but is not limited to: (i) product categories that we distribute; (ii) the multiple brands, including both owned and licensed, we offer within several product categories; (iii) the geographical presence of our businesses; and (iv) the different distribution channels we sell to or through.

The attributes of this diversified business model produce varying ranges of gross profit margin. Generally, on a historical basis, our fashion branded traditional watch and jewelry offerings produce higher gross profit margins than our smartwatches and leather goods offerings. In addition, in most product categories that we offer, brands with higher retail price points generally produce higher gross profit margins compared to those of lower retail priced brands. However, smartwatches carry relatively lower margins than our other major product categories. Gross profit margins related to sales in our Europe and Asia businesses are historically higher than our Americas business, primarily due to the following factors: (i) premiums charged in comparison to retail prices on products sold in the U.S.; (ii) the product sales mix in our international businesses, in comparison to our Americas business, is comprised more predominantly of watches and jewelry that generally produce higher gross profit margins than leather goods; and (iii) the watch sales mix in our Europe and Asia businesses, in comparison to our Americas business, are comprised more predominantly of higher priced licensed brands.

Operating Expenses include selling, general and administrative ("SG&A"), other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of our retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reorganize, refine and optimize our Company’s infrastructure and store closures under our TAG initiative.

Results of Operations

Quarterly Periods Ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023

Consolidated Net Sales. Net sales decreased $70.1 million, or 21.6% (21.5% in constant currency), for the First Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, with sales decreases in all three regions. The sales decrease was largely driven by overall category, consumer and channel softness. Our exit of smartwatches and store closures as part of our TAG initiatives negatively impacted sales in the First Quarter by $20.7 million as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Wholesale sales declined 21.3% (same in constant currency), reflecting lower purchases by wholesale accounts due to tighter management of inventories and lower end-consumer demand. Direct to consumer sales declined by 22.0% (21.7% in constant currency), due to a smaller store base and declines in our comparable retail sales. We have reduced our store footprint by 50 stores (15%), since the end of the Prior Year Quarter. Global comparable retail sales decreased 14% due to decreases in both stores and our owned e-commerce websites. From a category perspective, traditional watch sales decreased 17.3% (same in constant currency). Net sales in smartwatches decreased 63.5% (63.6% in constant currency), as we exited the category. The leathers category decreased 31.5% (31.3% in constant currency) as we were less promotional in the First Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter, and jewelry sales decreased 9.3% (9.0% in constant currency). From a brand perspective, sales decreased throughout most of our brand portfolio, with the most predominant declines in FOSSIL, EMPORIO ARMANI and MICHAEL KORS brands.

Asia Net Sales. Net sales in Asia decreased $14.5 million, or 18.1% (15.5% in constant currency), during the First Quarter in comparison to the Prior Year Quarter. The sales decreases were largely driven by mainland China and partially offset by sales increases in India. The largest sales decreases were in the EMPORIO ARMANI brand. Comparable retail sales decreased moderately during the First Quarter, driven by our retail stores and partially offset by our owned e-commerce sales increases.

Gross Profit. Gross profit of $133.5 million in the First Quarter decreased 16.9% in comparison to $160.7 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Our gross profit margin rate increased to 52.4% in the First Quarter compared to 49.4% in the Prior Year Quarter. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects exiting the smartwatch category as part of our TAG plan, decreased freight costs, improved product margins in our core categories and favorable currency impacts.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses in the First Quarter decreased to $162.7 million or 63.8% of net sales, in comparison to $198.0 million or 60.9% of net sales in the Prior Year Quarter. SG&A expenses were $152.3 million in the First Quarter compared to $190.9 million in the Prior Year Quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 59.7% in the First Quarter as compared to 58.7% in Prior Year Quarter, driven by lower sales. Operating expenses in the First Quarter included $10.1 million of restructuring costs, primarily related to employee costs, while the Prior Year Quarter included $7.1 million in restructuring costs.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss in the First Quarter was $29.2 million as compared to an operating loss of $37.3 million in the Prior Year Quarter. The decreased operating loss was primarily driven by a higher gross profit margin rate and lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by decreased sales. As a percentage of net sales, operating margin was (11.5)% in the both the First Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter. Operating margin rate in the First Quarter included an favorable impact of 50 basis points due to changes in foreign currencies.

Operating income (loss) by segment is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.1 million during the First Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter.

Other Income (Expense)-Net. During the First Quarter, other income (expense)-net was income of $3.9 million in comparison to income of $2.7 million in the Prior Year Quarter. This change was primarily driven by increased interest income and increased net foreign currency gains in the First Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.

    Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax benefit for the First Quarter was $6.1 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 20.1%. For the Prior Year Quarter, income tax expense was $1.6 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (4.1)%. The effective tax rate in the First Quarter was favorable as compared to the Prior Year Quarter due to the Company recognizing $9.6 million of favorable discrete items. No tax benefit has been accrued on the First Quarter U.S. tax losses and certain foreign tax losses due to the uncertainty of whether they can be used in the future.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. First Quarter net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc. was a net loss of $24.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in comparison to a net loss of $41.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, in the Prior Year Quarter. During the First Quarter, currencies favorably affected diluted earnings (loss) by approximately $0.03, when compared to the Prior Year Quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the First Quarter was $112.9 million, including $93.2 million held by foreign subsidiaries, in comparison to cash and cash equivalents of $127.1 million at the end of the Prior Year Quarter and $117.2 million at the end of fiscal year 2023. Generally, starting in the third quarter, our cash needs begin to increase, typically reaching a peak in the September-November time frame as we increase inventory levels in advance of the holiday season. Our quarterly cash requirements are also impacted by debt repayments, restructuring charges and capital expenditures.

At the end of the First Quarter, we had net working capital of $341.8 million compared to net working capital of $499.3 million at the end of the Prior Year Quarter. At the end of the First Quarter, we had $0.5 million of short-term borrowings and $202.9 million in long-term debt including unamortized issuance costs compared to $0.5 million of short-term borrowings and $234.6 million in long-term debt including unamortized issuance costs at the end of the Prior Year Quarter.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flows improved by $86.5 million in the First Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to cash of $2.2 million provided by working capital items in the First Quarter as compared to cash used of $62.1 million in the Prior Year Quarter.

34

Investing Activities. Investing cash flows primarily consist of capital expenditures and are offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities. Financing cash flows primarily consist of borrowings and repayments of debt. Financing cash flows decreased in the First Quarter primarily due to $4.3 million of net debt payments during the First Quarter as compared to $18.1 million of net borrowings in the Prior Year Quarter under the Revolving Facility.

Material Cash Requirements. We have various payment obligations as part of our ordinary course of business. Our material cash requirements include: (1) operating lease obligations (see "Note 14—Leases" within the Consolidated Financial Statements); (2) debt repayments (see "Note 15—Debt Activity" within the Consolidated Financial Statements); (3) non-cancellable purchase obligations; (4) minimum royalty payments; and (5) employee wages, benefits, and incentives. The expected timing of payments of our obligations is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on the timing of receipt of goods or services, or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations. In addition, some of our purchasing requirements are not current obligations and are therefore not included above. For example, some of these requirements are not handled through binding contracts or are fulfilled by vendors on a purchase order basis within short time horizons. Moreover, we may be subject to additional material cash requirements that are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, e.g., legal contingencies, uncertain tax positions (see "Note 5—Income Taxes" within the Consolidated Financial Statements) and other matters.

For fiscal year 2024, we expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $10 million to $15 million. Our capital expenditure budget is an estimate and is subject to change.

Sources of Liquidity. We believe cash flows from operations, combined with existing cash on hand and amounts available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for at least the next twelve months. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, we are assessing our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in light of our operating performance, the timing of the expected benefits of our TAG plan and other relevant considerations. In the event our liquidity is insufficient, we may be required to limit our spending or sell assets. In addition, we may seek additional deleveraging or refinancing transactions, including entering into transactions to exchange debt for other debt securities (including additional secured debt), issuance of equity (including preferred stock and convertible securities), repurchase or redemption of outstanding indebtedness, or may otherwise seek transactions to reduce interest expense, extend debt maturities and improve our capital structure. Any of these transactions could impact our financial results, including additional expenses, charges and cancellation of indebtedness income. We cannot assure you whether any of such transactions will be consummated, whether we will achieve the benefits of any such transaction, or whether our cost of capital will increase, any of which could have an impact on our future liquidity.

The following table shows our sources of liquidity (in millions):

	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	112.9	$	127.1
Revolver availability	9.9		$	90.1
Total liquidity	$	122.8	$	217.2

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, we received U.S. tax refunds of $57.3 million in April 2024.

Notes: In November 2021, we sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.00% senior notes due 2026 (the "Notes"), generating net proceeds of approximately $141.7 million. The Notes are our general unsecured obligations. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. The Notes mature on November 30, 2026. We may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option at the following prices: (i) on or after November 30, 2023 and prior to November 30, 2024, at a price equal to $25.50 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, (ii) on or after November 30, 2024 and prior to November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.25 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes and (iii) on or after November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.00 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, plus (in each case noted above) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Revolving Facility: On September 26, 2019, we and Fossil Partners L.P., as the U.S. borrowers, and Fossil Group Europe GmbH, Fossil Asia Pacific Limited, Fossil (Europe) GmbH, Fossil (UK) Limited and Fossil Canada Inc., as the non-U.S. borrowers, certain other of our subsidiaries from time to time party thereto designated as borrowers, and certain of our subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors, entered into a secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Revolving Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the "ABL Agent"), J.P. Morgan AG, as French collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank,

35

National Association as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents and each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "ABL Lenders"). On November 8, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment”) to the Revolving Facility. The Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to November 8, 2027 (provided, that if we have any indebtedness in an amount in excess of $35 million that matures prior to November 8, 2027, the maturity date of the credit facility shall be the 91st day prior to the maturity date of such other indebtedness) and (ii) changed the calculation methodology of the borrowing base to include the value of certain of our intellectual property in such methodology and to provide for seasonal increases to certain advance rates.

The Revolving Facility provides that the ABL Lenders may extend revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $225.0 million at any time outstanding (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), of which up to $125.0 million is available under a U.S. facility, an aggregate of $80.0 million is available under a European facility, $10.0 million is available under a Hong Kong facility, $5.0 million is available under a French facility, and $5.0 million is available under a Canadian facility, in each case, subject to the borrowing base availability limitations described below. The Revolving Facility also includes an up to $45.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”). The French facility includes a $1.0 million subfacility for swingline loans, and the European facility includes a $7.0 million subfacility for swingline loans. The Revolving Facility is subject to a line cap (the "Line Cap") equal to the lesser of the total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate borrowing bases under the U.S. facility, the European facility, the Hong Kong facility, the French facility and the Canadian facility. Loans under the Revolving Facility may be made in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, Hong Kong dollars or pounds sterling.

The Revolving Facility is an asset-based facility, in which borrowing availability is subject to a borrowing base equal to:(a) with respect to us, the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible U.S. accounts receivable, plus (iii) 90% of eligible U.S. credit card accounts receivable, plus (iv) the lesser of (x) 40% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. intellectual property and (y) $20.0 million, minus (v) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; (b) with respect to each non-U.S. borrower (except for the French Borrower), the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible foreign accounts receivable of such non-U.S. borrower, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; and (c) with respect to the French Borrower, (i) 85% of eligible French accounts receivable minus (ii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent. Not more than 60% of the aggregate borrowing base under the Revolving Facility may consist of the non-U.S. borrowing bases.

The above advance rates (other than the advance rate with respect to intellectual property) are seasonally increased by 5% (e.g. from 90% to 95%) during the period commencing on the date of delivery of the borrowing base certificate with respect to the second fiscal month of the Company and ending on the last day of the period covered by the borrowing base certificate delivered with respect to the fifth fiscal month of the Company.

First Quarter Activity: We had net payments of $4.6 million under the Revolving Facility during the First Quarter at an average interest rate of 6.1%. As of March 30, 2024, we had $150.0 million outstanding under the Notes and $57.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. We also had unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.6 million recorded in long-term debt and $2.3 million recorded in intangible and other assets-net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we had $5.4 million of outstanding standby letters of credit at March 30, 2024. Amounts available under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any amounts outstanding under standby letters of credit. As of March 30, 2024, we had available borrowing capacity of $9.9 million under the Revolving Facility. At March 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our credit facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to product returns, inventories, long-lived asset impairment, impairment of trade names, income taxes and warranty costs. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our expected financial position, results of operations, liquidity, business, TAG plan, strategic review and financing plans found in this "Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The words "may," "believes," "will," "should," "seek," "forecast," "outlook," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "project," "predict," "potential," "plan," "expect" or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: increased political uncertainty, the effect of worldwide economic conditions; the effect of pandemic; risks related to the success of our restructuring program; the impact of any activist shareholders; the failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq; significant changes in consumer spending patterns or preferences; interruptions or delays in the supply of key components or products; acts of war or acts of terrorism; loss of key facilities; a data security or privacy breach or information systems disruptions; changes in foreign currency valuations in relation to the U.S. dollar; lower levels of consumer spending resulting from inflation, a general economic downturn or generally reduced shopping activity caused by public safety or consumer confidence concerns; the performance of our products within the prevailing retail environment; customer acceptance of both new designs and newly-introduced product lines; changes in the mix of product sales; the effects of vigorous competition in the markets in which we operate; compliance with debt covenants and other contractual provisions and meeting debt service obligations; risks related to the success of our business strategy; the termination or non-renewal of material licenses; risks related to foreign operations and manufacturing; changes in the costs of materials and labor; government regulation and tariffs; our ability to secure and protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; levels of traffic to and management of our retail stores; loss of key personnel or failure to attract and retain key employees and the outcome of current and possible future litigation.

In addition to the factors listed above, our actual results may differ materially due to the other risks and uncertainties discussed in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023. Accordingly, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should consider these facts in evaluating the information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of March 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the First Quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

37

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our properties are subject, other than routine matters incidental to our business that is not material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors contained in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in evaluating the Company and its business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fossil Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).

The information presented herein includes the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2024 (“First Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2023 (“Prior Year Quarter”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2024, and the results of operations for the First Quarter and Prior Year Quarter. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as amended (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the First Quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), 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 date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on the information available at the time and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Business. The Company is a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Its principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, the Company has a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which its products are marketed. The Company's products are distributed globally through various distribution channels, including wholesale in countries where it has a physical presence, direct to the consumer through its retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where the Company does not maintain a physical presence. The Company's products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of its customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on its extensive range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, the Company is able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative ("SG&A"), other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of the Company's retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, and design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reduce and optimize the Company’s infrastructure and store closures. See "Note 16—Restructuring" for additional information on the Company’s restructuring plan.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024		For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to Fossil Group, Inc.	$	(24,296)	$	(41,262)
Denominator:
Basic EPS computation:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	52,491		51,840
Basic EPS	$	(0.46)	$	(0.80)
Diluted EPS computation:
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	52,491		51,840
Diluted EPS	$	(0.46)	$	(0.80)

At the end of the First Quarter, approximately 1.9 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.3 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the First Quarter.

At the end of the Prior Year Quarter, approximately 2.0 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.3 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Prior Year Quarter.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Restricted cash included in intangible and other-assets net was comprised primarily of pledged collateral to secure bank guarantees for the purpose of obtaining retail space. The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances as of March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 that are presented in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):

	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	112,889	$	127,111
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets	78		107
Restricted cash included in intangible and other assets-net	3,896		5,036

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update will require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Company's chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and expanded interim disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). The amendments in ASU 2023-06 modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification"), with the intention of clarifying or improving them and to align the requirements in the Codification with the

regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). The effective date for ASU 2023-06 varies and is determined for each individual disclosure based on the effective date of the SEC's removal of the related disclosure. ASU 2023-06 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and over 140 countries have agreed to enact a two-pillar solution to reform the international tax rules to address the challenges arising from the globalization and digitalization of the economy. "The Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules" provide a coordinated system to ensure that multinational enterprises with revenues above 750 million euro pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15% tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Many aspects of Pillar Two will be effective for tax years beginning in January 2024, with certain remaining impacts to be effective in 2025. Each country must enact its own legislation to apply the Pillar Two rules. The Company does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its financial results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity for 2024, but will continue to monitor future developments.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense and related effective rates were as follows (in thousands, except percentage data):

	For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024			For the 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(6,117)		$	1,603
Effective tax rate	20.1		%	(4.1)		%

The effective tax rate in the First Quarter was favorable as compared to the Prior Year Quarter due to the Company recognizing $9.6 million of favorable discrete items, including the release of uncertain tax positions and additional

accrued interest income. The overall tax rate is impacted by the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which requires the inclusion of certain foreign income in the tax return which absorbs the U.S. net operating loss. Foreign income taxes are also paid on this same foreign income, resulting in double taxation. The effective tax rate can vary from quarter-to-quarter due to changes in the Company's global mix of earnings, the resolution of income tax audits and changes in tax law.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company's total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was $17.3 million, all of which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The Company filed amended US income tax returns for 2014-2017 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES

Act”) which included a provision for the carryback of U.S. NOLs. The IRS reviewed the Company’s 2019 and 2020 U.S. tax returns and resulting net operating losses, as well as the tax returns for 2014-2017, which were the carryback years. The Company received the income tax refund for the 2019 U.S tax NOL carryback in fiscal year 2021. On March 27, 2024, the Company was informed that its 2019, 2020, and NOL carryback claims were approved by the IRS and Joint Committee on Taxation. In April 2024, the Company received $57.3 million of tax refunds. The Company released corresponding uncertain tax positions of $8.8 million in the First Quarter. The Company reasonably expects that certain remaining uncertain tax positions will be resolved within the next twelve months, which if resolved favorably, would impact the tax rate by a benefit of approximately $14.5 million, including interest.

The Company is also subject to examinations in various state and foreign jurisdictions for its 2013-2022 tax years, none of which the Company believes are significant, individually or in the aggregate. Tax audit outcomes and timing of tax audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.

The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as long-term income taxes payable, unless such amounts are expected to be settled within twelve months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. As of March 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for positions that are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Consistent with its past practice, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax overpayments and income tax underpayments in income tax expense and income taxes receivable/payable. At March 30, 2024, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.6 million of which $7.2 million is accrued interest expense and $4.6 million is accrued interest income. There were no accrued tax-related penalties.

Common and Preferred Stock. The Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, with 52,491,710 and 52,487,020 shares issued and outstanding at March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized, with none issued or outstanding at March 30, 2024 or December 30, 2023. Rights, preferences and other terms of preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance.

Common Stock Repurchase Programs. Purchases of the Company’s common stock are made from time to time pursuant to its repurchase programs, subject to market conditions and at prevailing market prices, through the open market. Repurchased shares of common stock are recorded at cost and become authorized but unissued shares which may be issued in the future for general corporate or other purposes. The Company may terminate or limit its stock repurchase program at any time. In the event the repurchased shares are cancelled, the Company accounts for retirements by allocating the repurchase price to common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained (deficit) earnings. The repurchase price allocation is based upon the equity contribution associated with historical issuances. The repurchase programs are conducted pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.

As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, all treasury stock had been effectively retired. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had $20.0 million of repurchase authorizations remaining under its repurchase program. The Company did not repurchase any common stock under its authorized stock repurchase plans during the First Quarter or Prior Year Quarter.

Nonvested at March 30, 2024	1,834	$	6.09

The total fair value of restricted stock units vested was less than $0.1 million during the First Quarter. Vesting of performance restricted stock units is based on achievement of operating margin growth and achievement of sales growth and operating margin targets in relation to the performance of a certain identified peer group.

Long-Term Incentive Plans. On the date of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting, each non-employee director automatically receives a grant of restricted stock units which vest 100% on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the date of the Company's next annual stockholders meeting, provided such director is providing services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company on that date. Beginning with the grant in fiscal year 2021, non-employee directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the restricted stock units settled in common stock of the Company upon the vesting date. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2021, non-employee directors may defer the cash portion of their annual fees. Each participant may also elect to have the cash portion of his or her annual fees for each calendar year treated as if invested in units of common stock of the Company.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports segment information based on the “management approach.” The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments are comprised of (i) Americas, (ii) Europe and (iii) Asia. Each reportable operating segment includes sales to wholesale and distributor customers, and sales through Company-owned retail stores and e-commerce activities based on the location of the selling entity. The Americas segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Canada, Latin America and the United States. The Europe segment primarily includes sales to customers based in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia segment primarily includes sales to customers based in Australia, greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Each reportable operating segment provides similar products and services.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income (loss). Net sales for geographic segments are based on the location of the selling entity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT

DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Cash Flow Hedges. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are the fluctuations in global currencies that will ultimately be used by non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries to settle future payments of intercompany inventory transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. Specifically, the Company projects future intercompany purchases by its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries generally over a period of up to 24 months. The Company enters into forward contracts, generally for up to 85% of the forecasted purchases, to manage fluctuations in global currencies that will ultimately be used to settle such U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. Additionally, the Company enters into forward contracts to manage fluctuations in Japanese yen exchange rates that will be used to settle future third-party inventory component purchases by a U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary. Forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon settlement date and exchange rate. These forward contracts are designated as single cash flow hedges. Fluctuations in exchange rates will either increase or decrease the Company’s U.S. dollar equivalent cash flows from these inventory transactions, which will affect the Company’s U.S. dollar earnings. Gains or losses on the forward contracts are expected to offset these fluctuations to the extent the cash flows are hedged by the forward contracts.

For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were entered into to hedge future payments of inventory transactions (in millions):

Functional Currency		Contract Currency
Type	Amount	Type	Amount
Euro	29.8	U.S. dollar	33.3
Canadian dollar	15.7	U.S. dollar	11.8
British pound	2.6	U.S. dollar	3.3
Mexican peso	39.6	U.S. dollar	2.2
Japanese yen	236.1	U.S. dollar	1.8
Australian dollar	1.8	U.S. dollar	1.2
U.S. dollar	2.2	Japanese yen	300.0

Non-designated Hedges. The Company also periodically enters into forward contracts to manage exchange rate risks associated with certain intercompany transactions and for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment. As of March 30, 2024, the Company did not have any non-designated forward contracts outstanding. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had non-designated forward contracts of $1.5 million on 27.1 million rand associated with a South African rand-denominated foreign subsidiary. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings when they occur.

The gains and losses on cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes are set forth below (in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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 quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

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

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 30, 2024 (in thousands):

	Fair Value at March 30, 2024

The fair values of the Company’s forward contracts are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. See "Note 10—Derivatives and Risk Management", for additional disclosures about the forward contracts.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company's Notes (as defined in Note 15— Debt Activity), excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, were recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of approximately $67.5 million. The fair value of the Company's Notes was based on Level 1 inputs. The Company's Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 15—Debt Activity) was recorded at cost and had a carrying value of $57.5 million and a fair value of approximately $44.6 million. The fair value of the Company's Revolving Facility was based on Level 2 inputs.

During the First Quarter, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets with a carrying amount of $1.8 million and property, plant and equipment-net with a carrying value of $0.2 million were written down to a fair value of $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $0.4 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, $0.1 million of impairment charges were recorded for ROU assets with a carrying amount of $0.1 million.

The fair values of operating lease ROU assets and fixed assets related to retail stores were determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows and discount rates. Of the $0.4 million impairment expense in the First Quarter, $0.2 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Asia segment and $0.2 million was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Europe segment. The $0.1 million impairment expense in the Prior Year Quarter, was recorded in other long-lived asset impairments in the Europe segment.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

The Company's leases consist primarily of retail space, offices, warehouses, distribution centers, equipment and vehicles. The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at inception based on the Company's right to the economic benefits of the leased assets and its right to direct the use of the leased asset. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset, and ROU liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date adjusted for the lease term and lease country to determine the present value of the lease payments.

Some leases include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from approximately one to ten additional years. The renewal options are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and ROU liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less at inception. The Company does not record a related lease asset or liability for short-term leases. The Company has certain leases containing lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. The Company has certain lease agreements where lease payments are based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The variable portion of these lease payments is not included in the Company's lease liabilities. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant restrictions or covenants other than those that are customary in such arrangements.

DEBT ACTIVITY

DEBT ACTIVITY

On September 26, 2019, the Company and Fossil Partners L.P., as the U.S. borrowers, and Fossil Group Europe GmbH, Fossil Asia Pacific Limited, Fossil (Europe) GmbH, Fossil (UK) Limited and Fossil Canada Inc., as the non-U.S. borrowers, certain other subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto designated as borrowers, and certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, entered into a $275.0 million secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the "ABL Agent"), J.P. Morgan AG, as French collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and Citizens Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents and each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the "ABL Lenders"). On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to the Revolving Facility. The Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to November 8, 2027 (provided, that if the Company has any indebtedness in an amount in excess of $35 million that matures prior to November 8, 2027, the maturity date of the credit facility shall be the 91st day prior to the maturity date of such other indebtedness) and (ii) changed the calculation methodology of the borrowing base to include the value of certain of the Company’s intellectual property in such methodology and to provide for seasonal increases to certain advance rates.

In November 2021, the Company sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), generating net proceeds of approximately $141.7 million. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Base Indenture") and a first supplemental indenture (the "First Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture") with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and will rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and the Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the

Company’s subsidiaries (excluding any amounts owed by such subsidiaries to the Company). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. The Notes mature on November 30, 2026.

The Company may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at its option. On and after November 30, 2023, the Company may redeem the Notes at the following prices: (i) on or after November 30, 2023 and prior to November 30, 2024, at a price equal to $25.50 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, (ii) on or after November 30, 2024 and prior to November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.25 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes and (iii) on or after November 30, 2025, at a price equal to $25.00 per $25.00 principal amount of Notes, plus (in each case noted above) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Indenture contains customary events of default and cure provisions. If an event of default (other than an event of default of the type described in the following sentence) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the Notes shall, declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, premium and additional amounts, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, and premium, if any, on the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes.

The Revolving Facility provides that the ABL Lenders may extend revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $225.0 million at any time outstanding (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), of which up to $125.0 million is available under a U.S. facility, an aggregate of $80.0 million is available under a European facility, $10.0 million is available under a Hong Kong facility, $5.0 million is available under a French facility, and $5.0 million is available under a Canadian facility, in each case, subject to the borrowing base availability limitations described below. The Revolving Facility also includes an up to $45.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”). The French facility includes a $1.0 million subfacility for swingline loans, and the European facility includes a $7.0 million subfacility for swingline loans. The Revolving Facility is subject to a line cap equal to the lesser of the total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate borrowing bases under the U.S. facility, the European facility, the Hong Kong facility, the French facility and the Canadian facility. Loans under the Revolving Facility may be made in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, Hong Kong dollars or pounds sterling.

The Revolving Facility is an asset-based facility, in which borrowing availability is subject to a borrowing base equal to:(a) with respect to the Company, the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible U.S. finished goods inventory, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible U.S. accounts receivable, plus (iii) 90% of eligible U.S. credit card accounts receivable, plus (iv) the lesser of (x) 40% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible U.S. intellectual property and (y) $20.0 million, minus (v) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; (b) with respect to each non-U.S. borrower (except for the French Borrower), the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower and (y) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible foreign finished goods inventory of such non-U.S. borrower, plus (ii) 85% of the eligible foreign accounts receivable of such non-U.S. borrower, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent; and (c) with respect to the French Borrower, (i) 85% of eligible French accounts receivable minus (ii) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the ABL Agent. Not more than 60% of the aggregate borrowing base under the Revolving Facility may consist of the non-U.S. borrowing bases. The above advance rates (other than the advance rates with respect to intellectual property) are seasonally increased by 5% (e.g. from 90% to 95%) during the period commencing on the date of delivery of the borrowing base certificate with respect to the second fiscal month of the Company and ending on the last day of the period covered by the borrowing base certificate delivered with respect to the fifth fiscal month of the Company.

The Revolving Facility also includes a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.250% or 0.375% determined by reference to the average daily unused portion of the overall commitment under the Revolving Facility. The ABL Borrowers will pay the ABL Agent, on the account of the issuing ABL Lenders, an issuance fee of 0.125% for any issued Letters of Credit.

The ABL Borrowers have the right to request an increase to the commitments under the Revolving Facility or any subfacility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million in increments no less than $10.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions as defined in the Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility is secured by guarantees by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company and such subsidiaries have granted liens on all or substantially all of their assets in order to secure the obligations under the Revolving Facility. In addition, the Swiss Borrower, the Hong Kong Borrower, the French Borrower, the German Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, and the other non-U.S. borrowers from time to time party to the Revolving Facility are required to enter into security instruments with respect to all or substantially all of their assets that can be pledged under applicable local law, and certain of their respective subsidiaries may guarantee the respective non-U.S. obligations under the

Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, such as compliance with annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements disclosures. Upon an event of default, the ABL Agent will have the right to declare the revolving loans and other obligations outstanding immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated or reduced, subject to cure periods and grace periods set forth in the Revolving Facility.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company had $150.0 million and $57.5 million outstanding under the Notes and Revolving Facility, respectively. The Company had net payments of $4.6 million under the Revolving Facility during the First Quarter. Amounts available under the Revolving Facility were reduced by any amounts outstanding under standby Letters of Credit. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $9.9 million under the Revolving Facility. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.6 million recorded in long-term debt and $2.3 million recorded in intangible and other assets-net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred approximately $2.6 million and $1.0 million of interest expense related to the Notes and Revolving Facility, respectively, during the First Quarter.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING

RESTRUCTURING

In fiscal year 2023, the Company announced its Transform and Grow strategy ("TAG") designed to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The Company expanded the scope and duration of TAG to focus on a more comprehensive review of its global business operations. The expansion of TAG will put greater emphasis on initiatives to exit or minimize certain product offerings, brands and distribution, and to strengthen gross margin and increase the level of operating expense efficiencies. TAG is estimated to generate approximately $300 million of annualized operating benefits by the end of 2025. The Company estimates approximately $100 million to $120 million in total charges over the duration of TAG and estimates approximately $25 million in remaining charges associated with the TAG Plan to be incurred during fiscal year 2024. Aided by these measures, the Company's long-term goal is to achieve adjusted gross margins in the low to mid 50% range and adjusted operating margins of approximately 10%.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 30, 2024

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fossil Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).

The information presented herein includes the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2024 (“First Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2023 (“Prior Year Quarter”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2024, and the results of operations for the First Quarter and Prior Year Quarter. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, as amended (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the First Quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), 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 date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on the information available at the time and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Business

Business. The Company is a global design, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer fashion accessories. Its principal offerings include an extensive line of men's and women's fashion watches and jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, belts and sunglasses. In the watch and jewelry product categories, the Company has a diverse portfolio of globally recognized owned and licensed brand names under which its products are marketed. The Company's products are distributed globally through various distribution channels, including wholesale in countries where it has a physical presence, direct to the consumer through its retail stores and commercial websites and through third-party distributors in countries where the Company does not maintain a physical presence. The Company's products are offered at varying price points to meet the needs of its customers, whether they are value-conscious or luxury oriented. Based on its extensive range of accessory products, brands, distribution channels and price points, the Company is able to target style-conscious consumers across a wide age spectrum on a global basis.

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative ("SG&A"), other long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses include selling and distribution expenses primarily consisting of sales and distribution labor costs, sales distribution center and warehouse facility costs, depreciation expense related to sales distribution and warehouse facilities, the four-wall operating costs of the Company's retail stores, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses and art, and design and product development labor costs. SG&A also includes general and administrative expenses primarily consisting of administrative support labor and support costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources, executive management costs and costs associated with stock-based compensation. Restructuring charges include costs to reduce and optimize the Company’s infrastructure and store closures. See "Note 16—Restructuring" for additional information on the Company’s restructuring plan.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("EPS")

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Restricted cash included in intangible and other-assets net was comprised primarily of pledged collateral to secure bank guarantees for the purpose of obtaining retail space.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update will require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Company's chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and expanded interim disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). The amendments in ASU 2023-06 modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification"), with the intention of clarifying or improving them and to align the requirements in the Codification with the

regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). The effective date for ASU 2023-06 varies and is determined for each individual disclosure based on the effective date of the SEC's removal of the related disclosure. ASU 2023-06 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and over 140 countries have agreed to enact a two-pillar solution to reform the international tax rules to address the challenges arising from the globalization and digitalization of the economy. "The Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules" provide a coordinated system to ensure that multinational enterprises with revenues above 750 million euro pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15% tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Many aspects of Pillar Two will be effective for tax years beginning in January 2024, with certain remaining impacts to be effective in 2025. Each country must enact its own legislation to apply the Pillar Two rules. The Company does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its financial results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity for 2024, but will continue to monitor future developments.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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 quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

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

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The fair values of the Company’s forward contracts are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates.
