Quiksilver, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2011 First Quarter Financial Results
- | Revenues of $426 million were ahead of plan and up compared to last year in constant currency | |
- | Gross Profit surpasses prior year as margin expands | |
- | Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA in line with plan and on track for full fiscal year | |
- | Net Debt at January 31 reduced $237 million to $541 million |
Huntington Beach, California, March 10, 2011Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced
operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011. Revenues were $426.5
million as compared to $432.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 but were up compared to
the same period last year in constant currency. Consolidated gross profit of $223.5 million
exceeded that of the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as gross margin expanded 110 basis points to
52.4% of revenues. As previously communicated, the company invested in several new business
initiatives in the first quarter ahead of revenue generation. Therefore, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA
of $28.2 million was down $10.6 million, as planned, compared to the same quarter a year ago. This
result was in line with the companys expectations for the first quarter, in which revenues are
historically lower than for the remaining three quarters of the year. The pro-forma loss from
continuing operations was $7.7 million or $0.05 per share compared to a loss of $2.5 million or
$0.02 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The pro-forma loss for the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 excludes $8.6 million of net after-tax charges, primarily comprised of a
non-cash write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with previous financings. Including
this amount, the loss from continuing operations was $16.3 million, or $0.10 per share,
compared to $5.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. A
reconciliation of GAAP results to pro-forma results is provided in the accompanying tables.
Robert B. McKnight, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Quiksilver, Inc., commented, Were very pleased with our results for the first quarter. Our top
line and operating performance continue to improve with revenues up in constant currency for the
first time in 9 quarters and gross profit margins expanding to 52.4% as the level of discounting in
our business continues to decline. We also feel very good about new growth initiatives presently
underway. As weve indicated in the past, now that our financial restructuring is complete, we
have shifted our focus toward investing in our brands and their long-term potential. Looking
forward, we expect fiscal 2011 as a whole to be a transition year with growth accelerating in the
second half of the year and beyond as these initiatives gain traction.
Net revenues in the Americas increased 4% during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $193.8 million
from $187.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In constant currency, European segment
net revenues increased 1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year. As
measured in U.S. dollars and reported in the financial statements, European net revenues decreased
7% to $165.2 million from $177.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In constant
currency, Asia/Pacific segment net revenues decreased 8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to the prior year. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in the financial statements,
Asia/Pacific net revenues remained unchanged at $67.0 million as compared to $67.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010. Please refer to the accompanying tables in order to better
understand the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on revenue trends in the European and
Asia/Pacific segments.

In December, the company completed its previously-announced sale of 200 million aggregate
principal amount of 8.875% Senior Notes due 2017 by its wholly-owned
European subsidiary, Boardriders S.A. Quiksilver used the proceeds of the offering to repay
approximately 190 million of existing secured European term loans and to pay related fees and
expenses. As a result, the company eliminated certain collateral obligations, extended its debt
maturities and eliminated certain restrictions on the transfer of cash between its subsidiaries.

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc.
before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv)
non-cash stock-based compensation expense and (v) asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA is not
defined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and it may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA, along with other
GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA helps us to compare our
performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital
structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base,
which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute
depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments and the effect of
non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a
widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to EBITDA provide further clarity on
our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings
which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and expected life of the equity
instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash
payments by us. We remove the effect of asset impairments from Adjusted EBITDA for the same reason
that we remove depreciation and amortization as it is part of the impact of our asset base.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest
expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital
assets and certain intangible assets, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and
the effect of asset impairments.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)
(UNAUDITED)
In order to better understand growth rates in our foreign operating segments, we make reference to
constant currency. Constant currency reporting improves visibility into actual growth rates as it
adjusts for the effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates from period to period. Constant
currency is calculated by taking the ending foreign currency exchange rate (for balance sheet
items) or the average foreign currency exchange rate (for income statement items) used in
translation for the current period and applying that same rate to the prior period. Our European
segment is translated into constant currency using euros and our Asia/Pacific segment is translated
into constant currency using Australian dollars as these are the primary functional currencies of
each reporting segment. As such, this methodology does not account for movements in individual
currencies within an operating segment (for example, non-euro currencies within our European
segment and Japanese yen within our Asia/Pacific segment). A constant currency translation
methodology that accounts for movements in each individual currency could yield a different result
compared to using only euros and Australian dollars. The following table presents revenues by
segment in both historical currency and constant currency for the three months ended January 31,
2010 and 2011 (in thousands):
