**LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2023** - Guess?, Inc. (NYSE: GES) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended January 28, 2023.

Carlos Alberini, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our fourth quarter performance, which exceeded our expectations. Our revenue growth in the period reached 2% in US dollars and 8% in constant currency, driven by strong results in Europe. This performance contributed to better than expected adjusted operating profit and improved earnings per share. This performance caps a strong year for our Company despite the challenging market conditions we faced. In fact, this year currency fluctuations consumed $62 million of operating profit and 140 basis points of operating margin. We delivered top line growth of 4% in US dollars and 12% in constant currency and achieved GAAP and adjusted operating margins of 9.2% and 9.8%, respectively. We are very proud of our teams, who managed the business well and navigated through a difficult environment very effectively."

Paul Marciano, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, commented, "During the last three years, we have transformed our Company. This is an ongoing project centered on the elevation of our brands. We continue to work on making our product better every day, investing constantly to increase the quality of our products across all categories with a strong focus on sustainability. Our customers continue to respond well to our collections and it is clear that our marketing efforts are paying off. Our brand momentum is strong and we are well positioned in the marketplace to continue to gain market share."

Mr. Alberini concluded, "For fiscal year 2024, we are taking a prudent approach to our outlook and expect a low single digit revenue growth, a solid profit performance and strong cash flow generation. We have a powerful business model that is highly diversified and a strong capital structure that can be further leveraged with growth. We have a great team that is managing our business well and is striving to capture growth opportunities and deliver strong value for our shareholders."

For the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 ("fiscal 2023"), the Company recorded GAAP net earnings of $95.8 million, a 40.1% increase from $68.4 million for the same prior-year quarter. GAAP diluted net earnings per share ("EPS") increased 36.5% to $1.42 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $1.04 for the same prior-year quarter. The Company estimates a positive impact from its share buybacks of $0.18 and a negative impact from currency of $0.11 on GAAP diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 when compared to the same prior-year quarter.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company's adjusted net earnings were $98.2 million, a 30.6% increase from $75.2 million for the same prior-year quarter.

***Earnings from Operations.*** GAAP earnings from operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 17% to $103.6 million (including $4.3 million in non-cash impairment charges taken on certain long-lived store related assets, $0.6 million net gains on lease modifications and an $8.0 million unfavorable currency translation impact), from $125.4 million (including $0.1 million in non-cash impairment charges taken on certain long-lived store related assets and $0.7 million net gains on lease modifications) in the same prior-year quarter. GAAP operating margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 3.0% to 12.7%, from 15.7% for the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency, higher costs, lower government subsidies compared to the same prior-year quarter and higher markdowns, partially offset by leveraging of expenses. The negative impact of currency on operating margin for the quarter was approximately 160 basis points.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, adjusted earnings from operations decreased 14% to $107.5 million, from $125.7 million in the same prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating margin decreased 2.6% to 13.1%, from 15.7% for the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency, higher costs, lower government

------

subsidies compared to the same prior-year quarter and higher markdowns, partially offset by leveraging of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Americas Retail segment decreased 1.8% to 15.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, from 17.2% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact from higher markdowns, partially offset by higher initial markups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Americas Wholesale segment decreased 4.5% to 20.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, from 25.4% in the same prior-year quarter, due primarily to higher expenses and the unfavorable impact of lower revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Europe segment decreased 2.6% to 16.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, from 18.6% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of currency, lower government subsidies compared to the same prior-year quarter and higher costs, partially offset by leveraging of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Asia segment decreased 3.7% to 2.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, from 6.5% in the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by unfavorable business mix and lower product margins.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Licensing segment decreased 2.3% to 88.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, from 90.5% in the same prior-year quarter, mainly due to higher costs and deleveraging of expenses.

***Other expense (income), net.*** Other income, net for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.9 million compared to other expense, net of $18.7 million for the same prior-year quarter. The change was primarily due to net unrealized and realized gains from foreign currency exposures and, to a lesser extent, net unrealized gains on the Company's SERP-related assets, compared to net losses in the same prior-year quarter. This was partially offset by net mark-to-market losses on revaluation of foreign exchange currency contracts, compared to gains in the same prior-year period.

**<u>Full Year Fiscal 2023 Results</u>**

For fiscal 2023, the Company recorded GAAP net earnings of $149.6 million, a 12.7% decrease from $171.4 million for the same prior-year period ("fiscal 2022").

GAAP operating margin in fiscal 2023 decreased 2.6% to 9.2%, from 11.8% in fiscal 2022, driven primarily by higher expenses, including higher store labor costs, the unfavorable currency impact, higher markdowns and lower rent relief, partially offset by overall leveraging of expenses. The negative impact of currency on operating margin for fiscal 2023 was approximately 140 basis points.

For fiscal 2023, adjusted earnings from operations decreased 15% to $262.9 million, from $310.6 million in fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating margin decreased 2.2% to 9.8%, from 12.0% for fiscal 2022, driven primarily by higher costs, the unfavorable currency impact, higher markdowns and lower rent relief, partially offset by overall leveraging of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Asia segment decreased 0.3% to negative 2.0% in fiscal 2023 from negative 1.7% in fiscal 2022, due primarily to lower product margins, partially offset by leveraging of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating margin for the Company's Licensing segment decreased 2.0% to 89.1% in fiscal 2023, from 91.1% in fiscal 2022, mainly due to higher expenses.

***Other expense, net.*** Other expense, net for fiscal 2023 was $39.8 million compared to $30.2 million in fiscal 2022. The change was primarily due to net mark-to-market losses on the revaluation of foreign exchange currency contracts and, to a lesser extent, net unrealized losses on our SERP-related assets, compared to net unrealized gains in fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower unrealized and realized losses from foreign currency exposures.

the ASR. Also, during fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of its common stock in open market transactions totaling $11.7 million.

**<u>Presentation of Non-GAAP Information</u>**

The financial information presented in this release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted results and outlook, constant currency financial information and free cash flows. The adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net (gains) losses on lease modifications, non-cash amortization of debt discount on the Company's convertible senior notes, the related income tax effects of the foregoing items, the impact from changes in the income tax law on deferred income taxes in certain tax jurisdictions, net income tax settlements and adjustments to specific uncertain income tax positions, as well as certain discrete income tax adjustments related primarily to an intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, in each case where applicable. These non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company's reported GAAP results and outlook.

The Company has excluded these items from its adjusted financial measures primarily because it believes these items are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business and the adjusted financial information provided is useful for investors to evaluate the comparability of the Company's operating results and its future outlook (when reviewed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial statements). A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to comparable non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.

This release includes certain constant currency financial information. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amount reported from translating the Company's foreign revenue, expenses and balance sheet amounts into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results under GAAP. The Company provides constant currency information to enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate net revenue and earnings (loss) from operations on a constant currency basis, actual or forecasted results for the current-year period are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. However, in calculating the estimated impact of currency on our earnings (loss) per share for our actual or forecasted results, the Company estimates gross margin (including the impact of merchandise-related hedges) and expenses using the appropriate prior-year rates, translates the estimated foreign earnings at the comparable prior-year rates, and considers the year-over-year earnings impact of gains or losses arising from balance sheet remeasurement and foreign currency contracts not designated as merchandise hedges. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company includes information regarding its free cash flows in this release. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flows from operating activities less (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flows are not intended to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, but rather to provide additional visibility to investors regarding how much cash is generated for discretionary and non-discretionary items after deducting purchases of property and equipment and payments for property and equipment under finance leases. Free cash flow information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of reported and expected GAAP cash flows from operating activities to the comparable non-GAAP free cash flow measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-looking statements, which are frequently indicated by terms such as "expect," "could," "will," "should," "goal," "strategy," "believe," "estimate," "continue," "outlook," "plan," "create," "see," and similar terms, are only expectations, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from what is currently anticipated.* 

*Factors which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from current expectations include, among others: our ability to maintain our brand image and reputation; domestic and international economic or political conditions, including economic and other events that could negatively impact consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending; sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other impacts related to the war in Ukraine; impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises; risks relating to our indebtedness; changes to estimates related to impairments, inventory and other reserves; changes in the competitive marketplace and in our commercial relationships; our ability to anticipate and adapt to changing consumer preferences and trends; our ability to manage our inventory commensurate with customer demand; the high concentration of our Americas Wholesale business; risks related to the costs and timely delivery of merchandise to our distribution facilities, stores and wholesale customers; unexpected or unseasonable weather conditions; our ability to effectively operate our various retail concepts, including securing, renewing, modifying or terminating leases for store locations; our ability to successfully and/or timely implement our growth strategies and other strategic initiatives; our ability to successfully enhance our global omni-channel capabilities; our ability to expand internationally and operate in regions where we have less experience, including through joint ventures; risks relating to our $300 million, 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2024, including our ability to settle the liability in cash; disruptions at our distribution facilities; our ability to attract and retain management and other key personnel; obligations or changes in estimates arising from new or existing litigation, income tax and other regulatory proceedings; risks related to the income tax treatment of our third quarter fiscal 2022 intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary; catastrophic events or natural disasters; changes in U.S. or*

*In addition to these factors, the economic, technological, managerial, and other risks identified in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the risk factors discussed therein, could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.

Footnote:

<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company's outlook for the first quarter and fiscal 2024 assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain at prevailing rates.

<sup>2</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts for the first quarter and full fiscal 2024 represent the exclusion of the dilutive impact of the Company's convertible notes for adjusted diluted shares and corresponding interest expenses at stock prices below $46.88, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution. The Company excludes the dilutive impact anticipated to be recorded in those periods as such amounts are reasonably estimated. The Company has not assumed any potential share dilution related to the related warrants.

<sup>3</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, *Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options* (Subtopic 470-20) *and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity* (Subtopic 815-40), for GAAP purposes, the Company incurred dilution above the initial strike price of the Company's convertible senior notes of $25.78. At January 29, 2022, there was no dilution related to the convertible notes for these periods.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method as of January 30, 2022. On adoption, the Company prospectively utilizes the if-converted method to calculate GAAP diluted EPS. For GAAP purposes, the Company incurs dilution of the Company's convertible senior notes based on the initial conversion rate associated with the senior notes. For the three months and fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, shares used in computing diluted EPS increased by 12.0 million shares due to the change from the treasury stock method to the if-converted method. Diluted net income per share for the three months and fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 is calculated based on GAAP net income and diluted weighted-average shares of 67.9 million and 70.1 million, respectively, which also includes the potentially dilutive effect of the Company's stock options, restricted stock units and convertible senior notes.

For adjusted diluted shares, the Company excludes the dilutive impact of the convertible notes at stock prices below $46.88, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution. At stock prices in excess of $46.88, the Company would have an obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges.

<sup>4</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The adjusted results reflect the exclusion of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net gains on lease modifications, non-cash amortization of debt discount on the Company's convertible senior notes, the related income tax impacts of these adjustments, as well as certain discrete income tax adjustments, where applicable. A reconciliation of actual results to adjusted results is presented in the "Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Adjusted Results."

<sup>5</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts recorded represent certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs which the Company otherwise would not have incurred as part of its business operations.

<sup>6</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts represent asset impairment charges related primarily to impairment of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to certain retail locations resulting from under-performance and expected store closures.

<sup>7</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts recorded represent net gains on lease modifications related primarily to the early termination of certain lease agreements.

<sup>8</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In April 2019, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2024 (the "Notes") in a private offering. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company separated the Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components. The debt discount, which represented an amount equal to the fair value of the equity component, was amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method as of January 30, 2022. Upon adoption, the equity component was eliminated and recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. Prior periods are not affected.

<sup>9</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts represent discrete income taxes related primarily to the adjustments from an intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary offset by the impacts from the additional reserve on the deferred tax benefits.

<sup>10 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup> The income tax effect of certain professional service and legal fees and related (credits) costs, asset impairment charges, net gains on lease modifications and the amortization of debt discount was based on the Company's assessment of deductibility using the statutory income tax rate (inclusive of the impact of valuation allowances) of the tax jurisdiction in which the charges were incurred.
