Quiksilver Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
—Company Advances Profit Improvement Plan Initiatives,
Records Non-cash Charge of $182 Million for Goodwill Impairment—
Huntington Beach, California, September 4, 2014—Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced financial results for the fiscal 2014 third quarter ended July 31, 2014.
“We continued to execute against the key initiatives laid out in our profit improvement plan and to drive growth in our direct to consumer channels and emerging markets,” said Andy Mooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quiksilver, Inc. “As we expected, revenues for the third quarter declined in our wholesale channels in North America and Europe. In addition, late product deliveries, largely the result of our transition to global demand planning, negatively impacted our sales performance and gross margin.
“We are resolving the product delivery issues and already see improved fulfillment in the Holiday season. We continued to right-size staffing, redeployed our marketing to invest more in media and point of sale, improved the quality of distribution in North America and completed a number of licensing transactions for peripheral product categories. We are encouraged by the positive feedback we have received on our Spring 2015 product lines, both for apparel and footwear.”
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 loss from continuing operations, pro-forma loss from continuing operations per share, adjusted EBITDA and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA, for all periods presented, net revenues in historical and constant currency, and a definition of the Company’s emerging markets.

Gross margin decreased to 47.8% from 49.1%. The 130 basis point decline in gross margin reflects increased discounting in the wholesale channels of certain regions, partially offset by sales growth in our higher-margin direct to consumer channels.
SG&A expense decreased $2 million to $213 million from $215 million. The decrease was driven by reduced employee compensation expenses as a result of lower severance costs.
Asset impairmentstotaled $183 million compared with $2 million, reflecting a non-cash charge of $182 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 to write-off the carrying value of goodwill attributable to the Company’s EMEA reporting segment.
Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA decreased to zero from $53 million.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. was $220 million, or $1.29 per share, versus income from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share.
Pro-forma loss from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver, Inc., which excludes the after-tax impact of restructuring and other special charges, non-cash asset impairments and non-cash interest charges, was $35 million, or $0.20 per share, versus pro-forma income from continuing operations of $13 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA | 16 | 52,511 | 28,551 | 83,704 | ||||||||||||
Definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) 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, net of non-controlling interest. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding restructuring and other special charges. Such charges include, but are not limited to, a) gains and losses on early lease terminations; severance and other termination costs for employees or independent agents; contractual or other termination costs paid to sever business relationships with sponsored athletes, vendors, customers, and other business partners; write-offs of inventory and other assets devalued as a direct result of restructuring activities; and other expenses associated with planning and implementing profit improvement plan activities; and b) other significant, non-recurring and unusual items. 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, the impact of implementing restructuring activities, and other significant, non-recurring and unusual items. 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 restructuring and other special charges, as these items 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 revenues by segment in both historical currency and constant currency for the third quarter ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):
