Quiksilver, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
• | Revenues of $492 million up 5% in constant currency compared to Q2 last year |
• | Company earned pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of $39.4 million for the quarter |
Huntington Beach, California, June 7, 2012—Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012. Revenues grew 3% to $492.2 million compared to $478.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and grew 5% in constant currency. The net loss was $5.1 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $83.3 million, or $0.51 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The net loss a year ago included a $74.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the company’s business in Australia and Japan. The pro-forma loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which excludes $2.1 million of net after-tax asset impairments and restructuring charges, was $3.0 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to pro-forma income of $17.3 million, or $0.09 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which excluded the $74.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge mentioned above. The decline in pro-forma income was primarily driven by gross margin contraction. 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, “I’m proud of the Quiksilver team’s performance in the second quarter amid inconsistent economic conditions around the world. We continue to see examples of solid growth in our emerging markets while some established markets, particularly in Europe, have been impacted by regional economic uncertainty. Especially against this backdrop, we’re pleased to see that the improvements we’ve made to our retail presence continue to drive positive comparable store sales in all three regions. We’re also pleased to be turning the page on a challenging first half of the year that included a number of known headwinds that particularly affected our gross margins. We expect the second half of fiscal 2012 will compare favorably to last year as we anniversary higher input costs that we began to see in Q3 of 2011 and as we begin to deliver goods for our highly anticipated back-to-school season, particularly for DC. We also expect to reduce inventory levels in the second half as we anticipate a productive fall season and largely conclude the clearance activities we identified a quarter ago.”
Net revenues in the Americas increased 5% during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $221.0 million from $210.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. European net revenues decreased 6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $195.6 million from $206.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and increased modestly in constant currency terms. Asia/Pacific net revenues increased 27% during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $74.0 million from $58.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and were up 24% in constant currency. The Asia/Pacific revenue growth was significantly driven by improved performance in Japan where revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were substantially impacted by the earthquake and related tsunamis in the region. Please refer to the accompanying tables to better understand the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on revenue trends in the European and Asia/Pacific segments.
Gross margin in the second quarter was 49.2% of net revenues compared to 54.8% of net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The gross margin contraction was principally driven by higher levels of clearance business, the timing of certain royalties, higher input costs, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. The company earned pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of $39.4 million in the quarter compared to $62.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, with the decline largely driven by the contraction in gross margin mentioned above.

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) 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 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 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)
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 operating segment. As such, this methodology does not account for movements in individual currencies within a 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 April 30, 2011 and 2012 (in thousands):
