Quiksilver Announces Fiscal 2015 First-Quarter Financial Results

—Company Reports Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of $10 Million,

Provides Outlook for Second Quarter—

Huntington Beach, California, March 17, 2015 - Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced financial results for the fiscal 2015 first quarter ended January 31, 2015.

“We are encouraged by our first quarter performance,” said Andy Mooney, chairman and chief executive officer of Quiksilver, Inc. “Revenues adjusted for currencies and licensed categories essentially stabilized in Q1, and operating expenses decreased by $20 million versus the prior year in constant currencies.

“Customer feedback on our Spring ‘15 product offering, across all brands, has been positive. Our order book for the Fall ‘15 product line continues to develop, and we are confident in our ability to generate revenue increases going forward.”

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 adjusted EBITDA; a definition of the Company’s emerging markets; and changes in net revenue on a constant currency continuing category basis, which adjusts prior period net revenues for changes in currency exchange rates and excludes prior period wholesale net revenues for product categories now licensed to third parties, as well as removes current period licensing net revenues for the same licensed product categories, in order to provide comparability of net revenues between periods.

First Quarter Review:

The following comparisons refer to results of continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net revenues, as reported, were $341 million compared with $395 million. Net revenues were down 4%, or $14 million, on a constant currency continuing category basis.

Gross margin decreased to 49.7% from 50.8%. The 110 basis point decline in gross margin reflects higher discounting, the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, and higher freight and distribution costs related to the West coast ports labor dispute, partially offset by the favorable impact of higher sales mix in direct to consumer channels.

SG&A expense decreased $33 million to $171 million from $204 million. The decrease was primarily driven by currency exchange rates, reduced employee compensation, rent, distribution and legal expenses.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. was $18 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with $22 million, or $0.13 per share.

Net revenues from emerging markets, as reported, were $54 million compared with $53 million. Net revenues from emerging markets were up 20%, or $9 million, on a constant currency continuing category basis.

Audit Committee Investigation:

As previously announced, the release of our first quarter financial results was postponed due to an Audit Committee investigation of a revenue cut-off issue.

In late February, the Company’s management discovered a deficiency in the Company’s internal controls related to quarter end revenue cut-off, whereby accurate information regarding actual shipment routing and customer delivery was not consistently maintained in the Company’s ERP system in accordance with its procedures. As a result, certain net revenues recorded in the prior period did not meet the criteria for revenue recognition at that time but instead should have been recognized in the following quarter.

Management brought the issue to the attention of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which then commenced an investigation, with the assistance of independent legal counsel engaged by the Audit Committee and outside forensic accountants, into the scope and causes of this revenue cut-off issue and reported the results of that investigation to the full Board and management. The Company analyzed the impact of this revenue cut-off issue and concluded that it did not have a material impact on its previously issued financial statements.

As a result of the investigation, in presenting the Company’s first quarter 2015 financial results, net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 have been revised to reflect a $2 million increase.

Outlook:

The Company updated its fiscal 2015 guidance for continuing operations to incorporate February 2015 currency exchange rates and provided guidance for its fiscal 2015 second quarter, as follows:

Fiscal 2015 second quarter net revenues are expected to be approximately $340 million, which is flat to last year’s second quarter on a constant currency continuing category basis. Gross margins are expected to be approximately 48.0%. SG&A, excluding any restructuring and special charges, is expected to be approximately $175 million. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $8 million.

Fiscal year 2015 net revenues are expected to be approximately $1.38 billion to $1.45 billion, which is an increase of approximately 1% to 6% on a constant currency continuing category basis versus the prior year. Gross margins are expected to be between 48.5% and 50%. SG&A, excluding any restructuring and special charges, is expected to be between $685 million and $700 million. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $70 million and $80 million. This revision of 2015 fiscal year guidance is driven by changes in currency exchange rates since October 2014, as well as additional cost reduction initiatives.

ADJUSTED EBITDA & PRO-FORMA ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION (UNAUDITED)

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. before (i) interest expense, (ii) (benefit)/provision 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.

Definition of Emerging Markets:

The Company’s references to emerging markets in this press release refer to net revenues generated in Brazil, Mexico, Korea, China, Indonesia, Taiwan and Russia, collectively.

CONSTANT CURRENCY CONTINUING CATEGORY NET REVENUE RECONCILIATION

We make reference to net revenues on a “constant currency continuing category” basis in order to provide additional comparable information with regard to changes in net revenues. Constant currency continuing category reporting provides valuable comparisons of net revenues as it adjusts for the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and for the impact on our wholesale channel of transitioning certain product categories to a third-party licensing model. Constant currency is calculated by taking the average foreign currency exchange rate for the current period and applying that same rate to the comparable prior year period. Continuing category impacts are determined by removing the comparable prior period net revenues generated from product categories which are now licensed as well as removing current period licensing net revenues generated from those same licensed product categories.

The following table presents net revenues from continuing operations by segment, brand, channel and product group on both an as reported basis and a comparable constant currency continuing category basis for the first quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):
