Our creative designs, product innovation and superior execution across all of our product offerings led to a 16% increase in sales and a 28% increase in diluted earnings per share, adjusted to exclude the one-time tax benefit in fiscal year 2005. Our business model, which is based on distributing fashion accessories under a portfolio of globally recognized brands across multiple categories, distribution channels, price points and geographic regions, continues to position us as a leader in the global fashion accessories market. While delivering solid financial results, we accomplished several market and operational objectives: » Strengthened the FOSSIL brand across all categories; » Expanded our licensed brand portfolio; » Continued the dynamic sales growth within the international marketplace; » Improved the efficiency of our company; and » Expanded the presence and improved the financial performance of our full price retail stores. our office in Shanghai. In addition, FOSSIL’s non-watch accessories businesses, which are significant to our US-based sales mix, are growing in demand internationally. We believe this growth is due to the continual increase in FOSSIL brand recognition and is aided by our increased retail presence internationally, inclusive of our own growing chain of owned retail locations. Improved Efficiency We improved the efficiency of our organization, focusing on inventory management and cost containment. Our balance sheet remains impressive with working capital of $358 million, cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of $133 million and no long-term debt. Additionally, our focus on reducing our inventories while still demonstrating strong sales growth resulted in a 5.3% reduction in inventories in comparison to fiscal year 2005. The composition of our inventories also improved significantly as we were opportunistic in reducing our discontinued styles through our outlet stores and other off-price channels. Although this put some pressure on our gross margins during 2006, we believe it will result in margin expansion in 2007. Additionally, we met our objectives in leveraging our operating expenses reporting a 90 basis point reduction in selling, distribution and administrative expenses in comparison to fiscal year 2005. We expect this trend to continue during 2007. The following more specifically outlines each of the above mentioned accomplishments. Owned Retail Performance FOSSIL Brand Strength FOSSIL remains a strong and a highly desirable brand, as evidenced by an 11% increase in total sales for 2006. During the year, we enhanced the visibility of the FOSSIL brand through brand building initiatives that include our retail stores, catalog and e-commerce businesses. We have focused our efforts across all of the FOSSIL brand products and distribution channels to offer vintage inspired products for the authentic individual with a modern, contemporary feel, that we refer to as “Modern- Vintage.” Our customers seem to be positively reacting to this image, as evidenced by the growth in both the global wholesale channel and our retail stores during 2006. FOSSIL Brand Product Extensions Our domestic leather and sunglass businesses continued to record double-digit growth and we believe this category is poised for significant expansion opportunities both in the U.S. and throughout the international market over the next several years. We are working towards this expansion by broadening our offerings with the launch of FOSSIL FIFTY-FOUR, a higher priced collection of handbags, as well as the introduction of a cold-weather accessory collection of gloves, scarves and hats. Both of these initiatives are scheduled to launch in the fall of 2007. Licensed Brand Portfolio Expansion During 2006, we further expanded our global watch portfolio with the launch of ADIDAS and MARC BY MARC JACOBS. ADIDAS is a compelling performance brand that enables us to extend our reach into the athletic category. This launch was the largest in our history and provides us with exciting long-term growth potential and a catalyst to penetrate the sporting good distribution channels and digital watch marketplace. MARC BY MARC JACOBS is a leading-edge fashion brand with a whimsical flair. The brand’s initial watch offering was well received this past fall as a result of its innovative styling and global recognition. At the end of 2006, we had 198 stores worldwide, 186 of which are FOSSIL branded. While our full-price accessory stores have provided us a vehicle for heightening awareness of the brand and showcasing the full line of products, over the last few years this concept has become increasingly profitable. Our domestic full-priced accessory stores achieved, on a four-wall basis, an average pre-tax income margin of approximately 25% in 2006, with many of our international based locations performing at even higher levels. As a result, it is our objective to expand our full-price accessory concept by 50 to 60 locations in 2007 in both the U.S. and internationally, given the appropriate economics and retail locations. Unfortunately, communicating some of these accomplishments to our stockholders was delayed while a review of our historical equity granting practices was being conducted. Based on the independent review by a special committee of our Board of Directors with assistance from legal counsel and accounting experts, it was determined that additional compensation expense should have been recorded in prior years and as a result we have restated certain of our historical filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The cumulative pre-tax financial impact of recording additional stock-based compensation expense associated with equity grants from 1993 to 2005 approximated $13.9 million. We appreciate the patience and support of our stockholders during this delay and are pleased to have this matter behind us. We believe we are well positioned for continued growth and profitability. Our brands are resonating with consumers and we have several initiatives in place to further our global expansion across all brands, categories and distribution channels while continuing to improve our operating margins and further strengthen our balance sheet. We remain confident in our ability to execute our business model and accomplish our near and long- term goals. We want to thank our employees, stockholders and customers for their support and loyalty this past year and for their continued contributions to our future. International Penetration Sincerely, On the international front, we increased our market share by growing our businesses in Europe and Asia. Total international based sales for fiscal year 2006 increased 20% in comparison to fiscal year 2005, primarily through organic sales growth across our owned and licensed brands. We also used our successful operating model to expand into new geographic areas through a joint venture with our Mexico distributor as well as the launch of our business into mainland China with the opening of Tom Kartsotis Chairman Kosta N.
