Quiksilver Reports Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter, Full Year

Financial Results

Company Makes Progress on Profit Improvement Plan Initiatives;

Continues to Reduce Operating Costs

Huntington Beach, California, December 12, 2013—Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced financial results for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and full year ended October 31, 2013.

“We made solid progress on key elements of our Profit Improvement Plan over the last few months,” said Andy Mooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quiksilver, Inc. “During the fourth quarter, we continued right-sizing our global operations, closing underperforming retail stores, trimming our global athlete roster, divesting non-core operations and making important headway in establishing global controls in the supply chain management processes. In November, we acquired full ownership of our high-growth operations in Brazil and Mexico and entered into our first substantial licensing agreement.

“I am pleased that our cost reduction efforts generated an increase of $3 million and $7 million in pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and second half of fiscal 2013, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods,” continued Mooney. “While net revenues were lower due to the expected decrease in DC brand sales, we generated higher gross margin and drove down selling, general and administrative expenses.”

As previously announced, the company sold its snowboard business, Mervin Manufacturing, and intends to pursue the divestiture of other non-core businesses. As a result, Quiksilver has reclassified the current and prior year operating results of Mervin and the other non-core businesses as discontinued operations. All of the results presented below represent the company’s continuing operations.

Please refer to the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of GAAP results from continuing operations to certain non-GAAP results from continuing operations, including pro-forma income/(loss), pro-forma income/(loss) per share attributable to Quiksilver, Inc., adjusted EBITDA and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA, for the fourth quarter and full year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, net revenues in historical and constant currency, and a definition of our emerging markets.

Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter Review:

The following comparisons refer to results of continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net revenues were $476 million compared with $529 million, and were down 9%, or $47 million, in constant currency.

 

    Americas net revenues decreased 15% to $223 million from $263 million, and were down 14% in constant currency.

    EMEA net revenues decreased 6% to $168 million from $179 million, and were down 9% in constant currency.

 

    APAC net revenues decreased 4% to $83 million from $86 million, but were up 9% in constant currency.

Gross margin increased to 47.0% of net revenues compared with 45.6%, due to gross margin improvement in the EMEA region, partially offset by a modest decline to gross margin in the APAC region.

SG&A expense decreased $7 million to $220 million from $227 million, primarily due to reduced expenses related to employee compensation, marketing expenses and administrative costs.

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $35 million from $32 million.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. was $175 million, or $1.04 per share, versus net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per diluted share.

Pro-forma loss from continuing operations, which excludes a non-cash tax valuation allowance and the after-tax impact of restructuring and other special charges, non-cash asset impairments, gain on store sale and non-cash interest charges, was $7 million, or $0.04 per share, versus pro-forma income from continuing operations of $8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. before (i) interest expense, (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense and (v) non-cash asset impairments. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding restructuring and other special charges (including, but not limited to, reserves and other charges associated with restructuring activities, non-operating charges for gains and losses on lease exit activities, as well as severance and other employee termination costs as a result of downsizing and reorganization). Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as measures of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA 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, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other special charges. 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 the 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 non-cash impact of our asset base. We also remove from Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain reserves and charges associated with restructuring activities, non-operating charges for gains and losses on lease exit activities, as well as severance and other employee termination costs as these costs are not typically part of normal, day-to-day operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as profitability measures in that they do 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, the effect of asset impairments and the effect of restructuring and other special charges.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

In order to better understand growth rates in our 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. The following table presents net revenues from continuing operations by segment in both historical currency and constant currency for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
