Movado reports Q2 EPS 16c vs. 36c last year

Reports Q2 revenue $159.3M vs $160.4M last year. Efraim Grinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “While increased marketing investment coupled with our initiatives to enhance retail performance drove improvement in our sales trend from the first quarter, second quarter sales and earnings were below our expectations due to the challenging consumer spending environment compounded by increased expenses to support future growth. Despite this, the quarter exhibited some bright spots that we expect to capitalize on during the second half of the year. The quarter saw our Movado brand sales increase by 1.4% with significant growth in the direct-to-consumer channel with Movado.com sales increasing by 21%, partially offset by a 5.5% decline in our wholesale channel. This reflected a strong response to the innovation across our product offerings, particularly the success of our Movado Bold Quest collection, which features a new shaped design inspired by a vintage Movado from the 1970’s. Opening at $595, Bold Quest fills more accessible price points that we had previously vacated.”
