Item 2.02                                           Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

In connection with the Notes Offering (described in Item 8.01 below), Fossil Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is providing the following preliminary estimated unaudited financial information.
 
Preliminary Estimated Unaudited Financial Results

Our financial results as of and for the three months ended October 2, 2021 are not yet complete. The forward-looking information presented below reflects our preliminary estimated unaudited results based solely on information available to us as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. We have provided ranges for certain items rather than specific amounts since our financial closing procedures are not yet complete as of and for the three months ended October 2, 2021. Actual results are not expected to be publicly available until we file our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of for the three months ended October 2, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These preliminary estimates do not present a comprehensive statement of our consolidated results for the three months ended October 2, 2021 and should not be used as a substitute for interim financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). You should not place undue reliance on these estimates. This preliminary estimated unaudited financial information has been prepared by and is the responsibility of our management. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche, LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled nor performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary estimated unaudited financial results and therefore does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary estimates. We currently expect that our final results of operations and other data will be consistent with the estimates set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, however such estimates are preliminary and our actual results of operations and other data could differ materially from these preliminary estimates due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments, review procedures to be performed by our management and audit committee and other developments that may arise between now and the time our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended October 2, 2021 are issued.

We expect our results to include:

Net sales within the range of $490 to $494 million for the three months ended October 2, 2021, an increase of approximately 13% versus $435 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020 and within the range of $1,792 to $1,796 million for the twelve months ended October 2, 2021 (the “LTM period”);

Income before income taxes within the range of $38 million and $43 million for the three months ended October 2, 2021, an increase of approximately 322% to 378% versus $9 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020 and within the range of $34 million and $39 million for the LTM period; and

Adjusted EBITDA within the range of $59 million and $64 million for the three months ended October 2, 2021, an increase of approximately 37% to 49% versus $43 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020 and within the range of $147 and $152 million for the LTM period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our income (loss) before the impact of income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense, amortization and depreciation, impairment expense, other non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring expense minus interest income. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues for each period. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe they are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of income before income taxes, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended October 3, 2020, as well as a reconciliation of our preliminary estimated income before income taxes range to our preliminary estimated Adjusted EBITDA range and the corresponding calculations of Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended October 2, 2021. The historical financial information for the three months ended October 3, 2020 has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 3, 2020.
