For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company continues to expect revenues between $582 million and $592 million and diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.26 to $0.27, compared to $0.20 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. For fiscal 2005, the Company reaffirmed its outlook of revenues between $1.73 billion and $1.74 billion and diluted earnings per share of $0.86 to $0.87, compared to $0.68 reported in fiscal 2004. For fiscal 2006, the Company expects to report revenues ranging from $2.25 billion and $2.27 billion and diluted earnings per share of $0.87 to $0.88.

The Company noted that its financial expectations for fiscal 2005 represent sales and earnings increases of over 35% and 25%, respectively. Without Rossignol, revenues are expected to increase approximately 20%. Some factors are leading the Company to moderate its current view on fiscal 2006. First, the Company has taken aggressive steps to more rapidly integrate Rossignol while other components will be completed and announced later in 2006. Second, the strengthening dollar and higher than anticipated interest expense are also expected to impact results. Taken together, the Company now believes that fiscal 2006 earnings will be up slightly compared to fiscal 2005.

Robert B. McKnight, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Quiksilver, Inc., commented, "The power of our brands and organization, both with regard to Quiksilver and through the newly-acquired Rossignol business, is formidable and has resulted in the creation of the world`s preeminent outdoor sports company. We now see opportunities to move even more purposefully to integrate our companies. Our vision for the future remains clear, and we are confident in our ability to drive our company forward and to bring substantial long-term value to our shareholders."

Bernard Mariette, President of Quiksilver, Inc., stated, "We`ve now completed our planning for fiscal 2006, and Rossignol and Cleveland are being rapidly integrated into our Company around the world. The willingness of the Rossignol team to embrace our vision has allowed us to accelerate some components of the integration plan and to delay others, and our three year plan is in line with previous expectations."

The Company expects to report actual fourth quarter and fiscal 2005 results on December 15, 2005. The Company also stated that it will host a conference call to discuss its updated fiscal 2006 guidance on Wednesday October 19, 2005 at 8:30 am Eastern Time.

S&P erhöht Quiksilver auf strong buy !

(ZQK ): Ups to 5 STARS (strong buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Marie Driscoll, CFA


We regard fiscal year 2006 (ending October) as transitional for Quiksilver, as the company positions itself for growth and we see it returning to 15%+ earnings growth in fiscal year 2007. Our fiscal year 2006 earnings per share estimate falls to 90 cents from 99 cents (compared to our 87 cents fiscal year 2005 estimate) to reflect accelerated integration costs of the recently acquired Rossignol. We see lifestyle positioning providing incremental market share and the opportunity for brand extensions at Rossignol, and think reorganization should improve margins by fiscal year 2007. Our 12-month target price of $17 assumes Quiksilver will trade at 15.5 times our fiscal year 2007 earnings per share estimate of $1.10.

Quiksilver Has Long-Term Growth Potential
Tom Van Riper, 01.03.06, 1:32 PM ET



A diamond in the rough?

That`s the view of skiing and extreme sports apparel maker Quiksilver (nyse: ZQK - news - people ) by retail analyst Jennifer Black of Jennifer Black & Associates, who thinks the company could well provide a rare opportunity for long-term growth.

In a recent research report following Quiksilver`s quarterly earnings, Black said she`s upbeat on Quiksilver`s potential to capture a growing share of the worldwide $42 billion outdoor market.

"We believe more than ever that this company is very reminiscent of Nike (nyse: NKE - news - people ) in its early days and is on its way to becoming a complete worldwide extreme outdoor sport-inspired resource," Black said.

Three weeks ago, Quiksilver reported a fourth quarter profit of 27 cents per share, in line with consensus estimates. But more important, according to Black, is the foundation the company has built from which to grow revenues consistently over the next three to five years. She loves the company`s acquisition of Rossignol, a France-based maker of skis, boots and snowboards, which registers 88% brand awareness. Rossignal`s Cleveland Golf unit figures to balance out seasonal sales, Black thinks.

And even though the market for basic snow skis has flattened out in recent years, Black thinks that Quiksilver`s women-targeted Roxy brand is poised for a true lift. Fashion conscious women looking to accessorize skis, boots and helmets have hardly been able to resist the Roxy lineup so far, she noted.

"This is revolutionary in the history of skiing and it`s very exciting," Black said.
