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 Company’s fiscal year periodically results in a 53-week year instead of a normal 52-week year. The current fiscal year ending January 3, 2026 is a 53-week year, with the additional week being included in the quarter ended April 5, 2025. The information presented herein includes the thirteen-week period ended October 4, 2025 (“Third Quarter”) as compared to the thirteen-week period ended September 28, 2024 (“Prior Year Quarter”), and the forty week period ended October 4, 2025 ("Year To Date Period") as compared to the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2024 ("Prior Year YTD Period"). 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 October 4, 2025, and the results of operations for the Third Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Year To Date Period and Prior Year YTD Period. 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 28, 2024, as amended (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the Third 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 2024 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):

Weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards and warrants that were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive were approximately 5.3 million and 4.0 million at the end of the Third Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 1.2 million and 0.8 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Third Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 1.4 million and 0.5 million weighted average shares issuable under pre-funded warrants at the end of the Third Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively.
At the end of the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year YTD Period, approximately 1.4 million and 1.6 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards, respectively, were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. The total antidilutive weighted average shares included 0.1 million and 0.2 million weighted average performance-based shares at the end of the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year YTD Period, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
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 became 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. Since becoming effective, Pillar Two has not had a material impact on the Company's financial results, including its annual estimated effective tax rate or liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor future developments in 2025.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 adopted ASU 2023-09 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the updated guidance will result in additional disaggregation of certain tax information within the Company's income tax footnote disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
