For its fourth quarter, the watch manufacturer posted an outlook of revenue in the range of $854 million to $926 million, while Wall Street predicts revenue of $952 million.

Fossil sees its earnings falling well below expectations as well, slated to come in between a four-cent loss per share and a profit of 51 cents per share. Analysts are calling for earnings of $1.33 per share.

The news overshadowed a strong quarter for the company as its earnings came in at a loss of 11 cents per share, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 14 cents per share.

Fossil’s quarterly net loss was $5.4 million. In the revenue front, the company raked in $689 million, topping the Wall Street projection of $653.24 million, despite declining 7% year-over-year.

“So far this year, we have tripled our wearables business and continue to see these amazing new products materially improve the trajectory of our watch business,” said CEO Kosta Kartsotis.

FOSL shares plummeted as much as 12% after the bell.

LendingClub Corp (LC)

LendingClub also took a hit after hours on its results.

In the same period a year ago, Lending Club posted a loss of nine cents per share. The company’s revenue came in at $154 million, missing analysts’ expectations of $157.03 million. Revenue surged 34.4% year-over-year.

The company surpassed the 2-million borrowers mark on its marketplace. It also launched its fifth-generation credit model, which enhances the capabilities of its borrowers to give fair and responsible access to credit.

“LendingClub’s strong growth and record revenue are clear indicators of our platform’s appeal to both borrowers and investors,” said Scott Sanborn, LendingClub CEO.

“Responsibly helping more people get access to the credit they deserve is why we exist as a business and hitting new milestones on both sides of the marketplace is a testament to the power of our business model,” he added.
