As previously announced on November 14, 2006, a committee made up of certain independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) commenced a review of the Company’s equity granting practices.  This voluntary review is being conducted with the assistance of independent legal counsel retained by the Special Committee.  The Company will not be able to comment on any aspect of the review or possible outcome and there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to restate its prior financial statements or adjust certain amounts presented in this release until after the Special Committee completes such review.  The Company is not republishing or making reference to any financial results issued prior to 2006 with the exception of historical period net sales and gross profit and selected balance sheet information.  Any financial disclosures relating to operating expenses, taxes, net income and net income per share amounts within this release should be considered preliminary.  The timing of the Company’s filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 7, 2006 and it Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 6, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders are uncertain pending completion of the Special Committee’s review.

“We ended the year solidly, reporting balanced sales growth across our global businesses, product lines and channels of distribution,” stated Mike Kovar, Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of Fossil, Inc.  “We believe that innovation and differentiation drove improved performance in the sales of FOSSIL watches domestically and we continued to experience

strength in our licensed brand watch and non-watch businesses.  We are pleased to report significant progress on our targeted balance sheet objectives, including reducing inventory levels by 5.3% below a year ago benefiting our year-end cash balances.”

Preliminary Fourth Quarter Results

Worldwide net sales rose 20.5% (17.0% excluding currency) in comparison to the prior year quarter.  Total international wholesale sales rose 26.8% (19.6% excluding currency) inclusive of sales related to the continued roll-out of ADIDAS.  Sales in Europe increased 20.8% (11.5% excluding currency), primarily a result of sales volume growth in licensed and FOSSIL brand watches and FOSSIL jewelry.  Other international sales increased 43.5% (41.8% excluding currency) and included approximately $5.8 million in net sales from the Company’s Mexico operation that was acquired in February of 2006.  Additionally, other international sales increased as a result of sales volume growth in licensed and FOSSIL brand watches.  Sales from the Company’s domestic watch business increased 10.4% compared to the prior year quarter, principally due to sales volume growth in licensed, FOSSIL, mass market and Relic brand watches. Domestic sales of FOSSIL watches, excluding discontinued product sales, increased by 7.3% in comparison to the prior year period.  During the year, renewed innovation and design have resulted in sales volume growth and increased sell-through rates at retail of the Company’s FOSSIL brand watches.   Fourth Quarter net sales from the Company’s accessories business rose 5.7% compared to the prior year quarter with sales volume growth from women’s and men’s leather products, partially offset by sales volume declines in FOSSIL eyewear.  Worldwide Company-owned retail store sales increased 32.4%, compared to the prior year quarter, as a result of a 19.8% increase in the average number of stores open during the Fourth Quarter and comparable store sales gain of 8.8%.

Gross profit of $200.8 million represents an increase of 25.1% over the prior year quarter amount of $160.5 million.  Gross profit margin increased by 190 basis points to 51.4% in the Fourth Quarter compared to 49.5% in the prior year quarter.  In comparison to the prior year quarter, a weaker U.S. dollar contributed a favorable 150 basis point increase to gross profit margin.  Gross profit also increased due to a sales mix shift toward higher margin company-owned retail and international sales, partially offset by increased sales of lower margin mass market watches.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales were 36.6% in the Fourth Quarter.  Total operating expenses of $143.2 million includes approximately $4.2 million and $1.2 million of expenses related to a weaker U.S. dollar and additional compensation expense related to the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, respectively.

The increase in net sales along with gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage produced operating income of $57.6 million, 14.7% of net sales, in the Fourth Quarter.  Fourth Quarter operating income included approximately $7.2 million of net currency gains related to the translation of foreign sales and expenses into U.S. dollars.

Interest expense totaled $1 million and other expense was $435,000 in the Fourth Quarter.

Earnings before income taxes were $56.1 million and the Company’s provision for income taxes of $18 million resulted in an effective income tax rate of 32%.  In comparison to the Company’s normalized effective tax rate of approximately 37%, the reduction in the fourth quarter effective tax rate was primarily due to recognition of certain deferred tax assets not previously recorded and a reduction in certain income tax contingency reserves.  As a result, the Company reported Fourth Quarter net income of $38.2 million, or $0.55 per fully diluted share, on approximately 69.2 million shares outstanding.

Selected Balance Sheet Information

At January 6, 2007, cash balances were $140.2 million with no long-term debt and $11.3 million of short-term bank debt.  Inventory at year end was $228.2 million declining 5.3% from inventory of $241.0 million last year.  Accounts receivable increased 9.4%, well below the 20.5% increase in net sales, to $155.2 million at year-end compared to $142 million at the end of the prior year.  Day’s sales outstanding decreased to 36 days at year-end compared to 40 days for the prior year.

2007 Outlook

The Company estimates net sales growth in the lower double-digit range for fiscal year 2007 and   continued gross margin improvement.  Net sales growth for the Company’s first quarter of 2007 could be slightly lower than the annual estimate as the first quarter of fiscal 2006 included an additional week within the reporting period.  These estimates reflect the current prevailing spot rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other foreign currencies primarily the Euro and Pound.  The Company expects it will be able to include earnings estimates for future periods after the Special Committee completes its review of the Company’s equity granting practices.
