1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. On May 22, 2013, the company changed its corporate name from “Fossil, Inc.” to “Fossil Group, Inc.” 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 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 June 29, 2013, and the results of operations for the thirteen week periods ended June 29, 2013 (“Second Quarter”) and June 30, 2012 (“Prior Year Quarter”), respectively, and the twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 2013 (“Year To Date Period”) and June 30, 2012 (“Prior Year YTD Period”), respectively. 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 29, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2012 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, sunglasses, soft accessories and clothing. 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.

Foreign Currency Hedging Instruments. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the future payment of intercompany inventory transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. If the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were to settle their contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Mexican Pesos, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars and Japanese Yen, the net result would have been a gain of approximately $4.5 million, net of taxes, as of June 29, 2013. The Company applies the hedge accounting rules as required by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). See “Note 8—Derivatives and Risk Management” for additional disclosures about the Company’s use of forward contracts.

Earnings 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				For the 26 Weeks Ended
	June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012		June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Fossil Group, Inc.	$	67,713	$	57,338	$	139,900	$	115,478

Denominator:
Basic EPS computation:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	58,600		61,669		58,997		61,741
Basic EPS	$	1.16	$	0.93	$	2.37	$	1.87

Diluted EPS computation:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	58,600		61,669		58,997		61,741
Stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units	290		423		338		509
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	58,890		62,092		59,335		62,250
Diluted EPS	$	1.15	$	0.92	$	2.36	$	1.86

Approximately 273,000, 273,000, 248,000 and 248,000 shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation at the end of the Second Quarter, Year To Date Period, Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year YTD Period, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

Restricted Cash. As of June 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the Company had short-term restricted cash balances of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and long-term restricted cash balances of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, primarily pledged as collateral to secure bank guarantees for the purpose of obtaining retail space. Short-term restricted cash is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of current assets. Long-term restricted cash is reported in intangible and other assets-net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of long-term assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires, unless certain conditions exist, an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in the financial statements for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance in ASU 2013-11 will become effective for the Company prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2013-11 will have on its condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In March 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The guidance outlines the events when cumulative translation adjustments should be released into net income and is intended by FASB to eliminate some disparity in current accounting practice. The guidance in ASU 2013-05 will become effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The Company will apply the guidance prospectively to any derecognition events that may occur after the effective date, and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-05 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”), to address certain comparability issues between financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and those prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”), which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements established by ASU 2011-11. ASU 2011-11 will require an entity to provide enhanced disclosures about certain financial instruments and derivatives, as defined in ASU 2013-01, to enable users to understand the effects of offsetting in the financial statements as well as the effects of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial condition. The amendments in ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those years, with respective disclosures required for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update permit an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill is less than its carrying amount, it is required to perform the quantitative impairment test for that asset. This ASU aligns the guidance of impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill with that in ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). The guidance in ASU 2012-02 was effective for the Company beginning December 30, 2012 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). FASB issued ASU 2013-02 to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in financial statements. ASU 2013-12 requires an entity to provide information about amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity must present either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income. See “Note 6—Stockholders’ Equity and Benefit Plans” for additional disclosures about the Company’s OCI. The guidance in ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company on December 30, 2012 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.
