2020 Outlook

Due to continued uncertainty related to COVID-19, the Company is not providing financial guidance at this time. The Company anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to pressure sales throughout 2020, with the greatest impact in the second quarter. Due to closures for both FOSSIL stores and our wholesale partners during the majority of the second quarter, worldwide net sales are expected to decline in the range of 60%-70%, with contraction in retail and wholesale partly offset by strength in e-commerce channels. The Company has commenced a phased reopening of its FOSSIL retail stores globally, which is expected to be completed by the end of June 2020, dependent upon local regulations.

Kartsotis continued, “As we continue to navigate the impacts of COVID-19, we are accelerating our focus on driving digital growth and capturing organizational efficiencies, two of our key strategic priorities for 2020. Our investments in digital capabilities, including the recent completion of a new global e-commerce platform, have allowed us to meet significantly increased demand and seamlessly serve our customers. As economies begin to reopen around the globe, we are working closely with our wholesale partners and executing a phased reopening of our FOSSIL stores.”
