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 the Company for the thirteen-week period ended April 3, 1999 (the
"First Quarter"), as compared to the thirteen-week period ended April 4, 1998
(the "Prior Year Quarter"). This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes attached
hereto.
General
The Company is a leader in the design, development, marketing and distribution
of contemporary, high quality fashion watches and accessories. The Company
developed the FOSSIL brand name to convey a distinctive fashion, quality and
value message and a brand image reminiscent of "America in the 1950s" that
suggests a time of fun, fashion and humor. Since its inception in 1984, the
Company has grown from its original flagship FOSSIL watch product into a
diversified company offering an extensive line of fashion watches that includes
its FSL and RELIC brands as well as complementary lines of small leather goods,
belts, handbags and sunglasses under certain of the Company's brands. In
addition to developing its own brands, the Company leverages its development and
production expertise by designing and manufacturing private label products for
some of the most prestigious companies in the world, including national
retailers, entertainment companies and theme restaurants.
The Company has further capitalized on the increasing awareness of the FOSSIL
brand by entering into various license agreements for other categories of
fashion accessories and apparel, such as optical frames and underwear under the
FOSSIL brand. In addition, the Company licenses the brands of other companies,
including the EMPORIO ARMANI brand, to further leverage its infrastructure.
The Company's products are sold to department stores and specialty retail stores
in over 80 countries worldwide through Company-owned foreign sales subsidiaries
and through a network of approximately 50 independent distributors. The
Company's foreign operations include a presence in Asia, Australia, Canada, the
Caribbean, Europe, Central and South America and the Middle East. In addition,
the Company's products are offered at Company-owned retail locations throughout
the United States and in independently-owned, authorized FOSSIL retail stores
and kiosks located in several major airports, on cruise ships and in certain
international markets. The Company's successful expansion of its product lines
worldwide and leveraging of its infrastructure have contributed to its
increasing net sales and operating profits.
First Quarter & Company Highlights
- ----------------------------------
o FOSSIL Blue watches continue to be the Company's best selling FOSSIL brand
watch line.
o A line of stainless steel watches, FOSSIL Steel, chronograph look watches,
BLUE TEQ, and women's dress bracelet watches, F2, combined with FOSSIL Blue
continue to represent the Company's core watch assortment.
o FOSSIL Big Tic, a revolutionary part analog, part digital watch that
highlights the seconds on a backlite digital display was introduced on a
test basis in late 1998. The style was extremely well received in the
marketplace and represented the Company's fifth best selling watch line in
volume during the First Quarter.
o FOSSIL brand handbag sales recorded double-digit sales growth in 1998 and
have continued that sales trend during the First Quarter.
<PAGE>
o FOSSIL brand sunglasses continued to gain market share as a result of the
consumer preference for quality brand name items at more moderate price
levels both of which align nicely with the Company's sunglass program
initiatives.
o RELIC, the Company-owned brand sold in leading national and regional chain
department stores and specialty stores, recorded sales volume growth
exceeding 50% during the First Quarter. As a result of increasing RELIC
brand recognition, the Company at the request of retailers began the
extension of the RELIC brand into leather products during late 1998.
o Sales momentum continued in Europe, which recorded net sales increases of
over 50% for the First Quarter in comparison to the same period in 1998.
o The Company operated 29 outlet and 11 retail stores at the end of the First
Quarter as compared to 27 outlet and 7 retail stores at the end of the
Prior Year Quarter.
o The Company holds a worldwide licensing agreement with Giorgio Armani for
the rights to design, produce and market a line of EMPORIO ARMANI watches.
Net sales volume for this line of watches during the First Quarter amounted
to $6.7 million in comparison to $3.1 million during the Prior Year
Quarter.
o The Company entered into a licensing agreement with Safilo USA, Inc. and
Safilo B.V. ("Safilo") to design, manufacture and market FOSSIL brand
optical frames in the United States, Canada and Italy as well as sunglasses
in Italy. The initial launch of the products is anticipated during fall
1999.

</TABLE>
Worldwide sales volume of FOSSIL branded watches has continued to represent the
single largest factor in the Company's sales growth. Strong sales volume
increases in FOSSIL brand watches were principally a result of (a) increased
sales from the Company's core FOSSIL brand watch assortments (b) sales from the
newly introduced Big Tic line of watches and (c) from certain refilling of
retailers' watch inventories after a very successful 1998 holiday selling
season. Fueling top line sales growth during the First Quarter was double-digit
sales growth in the Company's other accessory product lines and sales increases
in certain private label and licensing watch lines. During the Company's 1999
second quarter the Company will record an international-based sale amounting to
approximately $7 million of non-branded watches used as a premium incentive.
This sale will inflate the percentage sales increase over the comparable period
in 1998, but management believes the sales increases will average closer to 20%
during the later half of 1999 as the Company anniversaries significant sales
increases achieved during the comparable period of 1998.
Gross Profit. Gross profit margins increased from 49% in the Prior Year Quarter
to 51% in the First Quarter. The increase is partially due to the positive gross
margin influence stemming from an increase in the Company's First Quarter sales
mix of FOSSIL brand watches and sunglasses and European-based sales. These sales
categories generally result in higher gross profit margins than the Company's
consolidated average. In addition, gross profit margins were elevated based on
higher production levels in the Company's foreign-based assembly facilities due
to the significant increase in watch production as compared to historical levels
during the Company's first quarter of each year. Management believes that the
Company's gross profit margins for the remainder of 1999 will approximate 1998
levels with the exception of the Company's second quarter which will be
negatively impacted by an international-based sale of non-branded watches used
as a premium incentive, similar to the sale the Company recorded in the second
quarter of 1997.
Operating Expenses. The aggregate increases in operating expenses were due
primarily to costs necessary to support increased sales volumes. Total selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased
significantly in the First Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Leveraging expenses against higher sales volumes positively impacted operating
expense ratios. Management believes the operating expense ratio for the
remainder of 1999 will only marginally improve over comparable 1998 levels with
the exception of the Company's second quarter which could show higher leverage
due principally to the $7 million premium incentive sale discussed above.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased during the First
Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. The decrease was primarily due to
(a) the minority interests share of increased profits generated in the Company's
assembly facilities during the First Quarter in comparison to a year ago and (b)
foreign currency losses stemming from a stronger Japanese Yen in relation to the
U.S. dollar than the year prior. This increase in other expenses was partially
offset by higher interest income generated on increased cash holdings.
Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
Computer programs that were written using two digits rather than four digits to
define the applicable year may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This result is commonly referred to as the "Year
2000" problem. The Year 2000 problem could result in information system failures
or miscalculations. Beginning in 1997, the Company initiated a program to
evaluate whether internally developed and/or purchased computer programs that
utilize embedded date codes could experience operational problems when the year
2000 is reached. The scope of this effort addressed internal computer systems
and supplier capabilities. The Company has significantly completed an extensive
review of its businesses to determine whether or not purchased and internally
developed computer programs are Year 2000 compliant, as well as determine the
extent of any remedial action and associated costs. Management believes it has
substantially completed the review of the Company's internal computer systems
and substantially either made modifications or purchased new hardware and
software to make the Company's internal computer systems Year 2000 compliant. In
addition, the Company has significantly completed the testing phase of its main
frame computer systems and applications and while no absolute assurances can be
provided, management believes these systems and applications will function
properly in handling Year 2000 related date calculations. The Company is now
involved in finalizing the review and testing phase of its internal computer
networks and applicable non-computer related areas to determine its ability to
handle Year 2000 related date calculations. Based on the Company's evaluation to
date, management believes that the Company will incur approximately $2.4 million
in internal and external costs to address the Year 2000 problem of which $2.2
million has been expended as of the end of the First Quarter. The Company plans
to complete all remediation efforts for its critical systems prior to Year 2000.
The financial impact of the Year 2000 reviews, modifications, testing,
replacements or related purchases are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business or its consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows. The Company is also contacting its key suppliers
and customers to determine their Year 2000 readiness in order to ensure a steady
flow of goods and services to the Company and continuity with respect to
customer service. The Company has no information that indicates that a
significant vendor may be unable to sell to the Company; that a significant
customer may be unable to purchase from the Company; or that a significant
service provider may be unable to provide services to the Company. The Company
is formulating a contingency plan in the event of failure of production
operations, the inability of major suppliers to fulfill their commitments and
the inability of major customers to submit orders and receive product. The
Company expects to have the majority of its contingency plans formalized by
September 1999. Notwithstanding the above, the effect, if any, on the Company's
future results of operations, due to the Company's major suppliers and customers
not being Year 2000 compliant, cannot be reasonably estimated. Management
believes that this latter risk is mitigated somewhat by the Company's broad base
of customers and suppliers and the worldwide nature of its operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's general business operations historically have not required
substantial cash needs during the first several months of its fiscal year.
Generally starting in the second quarter the Company's cash needs begin to
increase, typically reaching its peak in the September-November time frame. The
additional cash needs have generally been to finance the accumulation of
inventory and the build-up in accounts receivable. During the First Quarter the
Company continued to increase it's cash holdings to $69 million in comparison to
$57 million and $25 million as of the end of the Company's 1998 year and Prior
Year Quarter, respectively. In addition, at the end of the first quarter the
Company had working capital of $120 million and borrowings of only $4 million
against its combined $43 million bank credit facilities. Management believes
that cash flow from operations combined with existing cash on hand will be
sufficient to satisfy its working capital expenditures for at least the next
eighteen months.
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Included within management's discussion of the Company's operating results,
"forward-looking statements" were made within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding expectations for 1999. The
actual results may differ materially from those expressed by these
forward-looking statements. Significant factors that could cause the Company's
1999 operating results to differ materially from management's current
expectations include, among other items, significant changes in consumer
spending patterns or preferences, competition in the Company's product areas,
international in comparison to domestic sales mix, changes in foreign currency
valuations in relation to the United States Dollar, principally the European
Union's Euro and Japanese Yen, an inability of management to control operating
expenses in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term direction of
the Company and the risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's current
report on Form 8-K dated March 30, 1999.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a multinational enterprise, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. The Company employs a variety of practices to manage
this market risk, including its operating and financing activities and, where
deemed appropriate, the use of derivative financial instruments. Forward
contracts have been utilized by the Company to mitigate foreign currency risk.
The Company's most significant foreign currency risk relates to the Euro. The
Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management purposes
and does not use them for speculation or for trading. There were no significant
changes in how the Company managed foreign currency transactional exposures
during the First Quarter and management does not anticipate any significant
changes in such exposures or in the strategies it employs to manage such
exposures in the near future.
