NOTES:

~~Financial Statements~~

1.Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2021, may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the full year.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements~~

Use of Estimates

~~In March 2017,~~The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the ~~Financial~~United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results specifically related to inventory reserves, realizability of deferred tax assets, goodwill and trademarks could materially differ from those estimates that impact the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

2. Forsake Acquisition

On June 7, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and certain liabilities of Forsake, Inc. (“Forsake”), a distributor of outdoor footwear, under the brand name “Forsake.” The principal assets acquired were inventory, accounts receivable, and intellectual property, including the Forsake brand name. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $2.6 million, plus contingent payments to be paid annually over a period of five years, depending on Forsake achieving certain performance measures. The Company’s estimate of the discounted fair value of the contingent payments is approximately $1.4 million in total. The $2.6 million purchase price, which was funded with the Company’s available cash , is subject to working capital adjustments through October 5, 2021. Working capital adjustments, principally related to the collectability of accounts receivable, are not expected to be material. The establishment of the contingent consideration liability as of the acquisition date is considered a non-cash investing activity. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition were not material to the Company's financial statements.

The Company recorded its preliminary purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2021 based upon its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at that time.

The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date are as follows:


Accounts receivable, net	$	157
Inventories		755
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		68
Property, plant and equipment, net		17
Goodwill		1,107
Trademark		1,900
Accrued liabilities		(35)
	$	3,969

The Company recorded $3.0 million of intangible assets, including $1.1 million of goodwill, which has been allocated to the wholesale and retail segments, as of the acquisition date. Goodwill reflects the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets. All of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Fair value of the trademark was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. The trademark will not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment on an annual basis.

The fair values above are preliminary for up to one year from the date of acquisition as they are subject to measurement period adjustments as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company does not expect any material changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation summarized above, although it can make no assurances.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the results of Forsake from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2021, although such results were not material for the quarter. Pro forma financial information is not presented as the effects of this acquisition are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

3.New Accounting ~~Standards Board (“FASB”) issued~~Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~No. 2017-07~~2019-12 ~~“Improving~~Simplifying the ~~Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post Retirement Benefit Cost”~~Accounting for Income Taxes~~(“ASU 2017-07”)~~. This ~~new standard requires that employers disaggregate~~guidance removes certain exceptions related to the ~~service cost component from~~approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other ~~components~~areas of ~~net periodic pension cost in~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the income statement. The service cost component should be included in the same line item as other compensation costs rendered by employees, while the other cost components should be presented outside of earnings from operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2017Company’s consolidated financial statements and retrospectively applied it to all periods presented. Accordingly, the service cost component of net periodic pension cost was included within selling and administrative expenses while the other cost components were classified in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). See Note 8.

related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provided optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2016-09, "~~2016-13, ~~Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ~~(“ASU 2016-09”)~~. This ~~new standard simplifies several aspects~~ASU modifies the measurement of ~~the accounting for share-based payment transactions,~~expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including ~~the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures,~~loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and ~~statutory tax withholding requirements,~~trade accounts receivable as well as ~~specifies the classification of~~ certain ~~cash flows associated with share-based payment transactions within the statements of cash flows.~~off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The ~~Company~~guidance must be adopted ~~ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard resulted~~using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the ~~following:~~

The prospective recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies within the provision for income taxes in the income statement. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, these amounts would have been recorded within capital in excess of par value on the balance sheet. This change may create volatility in the Company’s future effective tax rate.

Accounting rules require the use of the treasury stock method when calculating potential common shares used to determine diluted earnings per share. The new standard requires that the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would have been recognized within capital in excess of par value on the balance sheet. This change was adopted prospectively and had an immaterial impact on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter and year-to-date periods.

The new standard requires that excess tax benefits from share-based payment awards be reported as operating activities in the cash flow statement. Previously, these cash flows were included in financing activities. This change was adopted prospectively, and had an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) for the year-to-date period.

The new standard requires that cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares be presented as a financing activity in the cash flow statement. Previously, accounting rules did not specify where such cash flows should be reported. This change was retrospectively applied to all periods presented, and had an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) for the year-to-date period.

~~The Company elected not to change its policy on accounting for forfeitures, and will continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount~~period of stock-based compensation expense recognized in each period. Finally, the Company will continue to allow its employees to withhold up to the minimum statutory withholding requirements, as allowed under the new standard.

~~ASU No. 2014-09, "~~~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~," outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. Additional ASUs have also been issued as part of the overall new revenue guidance. The new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard allows the Company to transition to the new model using either a full or modified retrospective approach.adoption. This ~~guidance~~ASU will be effective for the ~~Company’s interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018.~~

~~The~~ Company plans to complete an assessment of its revenue streams during the fourth quarter of 2017. Based on its assessment to date, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

GENERAL

~~GENERAL~~

The Company designs and markets quality and innovative footwear principally for men, but also for women and children, under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: ~~“Florsheim,” “Nunn~~Florsheim, Nunn Bush,~~” “Stacy~~ Stacy Adams,~~” “BOGS,” “Rafters,”~~ BOGS, Rafters, and ~~“Umi.”~~Forsake. Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“~~wholesale”~~Wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“~~retail”~~Retail”). In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to leading footwear, department, and specialty stores, as well as e-commerce retailers, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company’s retail segment consisted of 10e-commerce businesses and four brick and mortar retail stores ~~and internet businesses~~ in the United States as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017. Sales in retail outlets~~2021. Retail sales are made directly to consumers on the Company’s websites, or by Company employees.

The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe (“Florsheim Europe”). In late 2020, the Company decided to close Florsheim Europe, and management is in the process of winding down this business. The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and ~~the~~ retail environment in the United States.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The wholesale business rebounded from the effects of the pandemic in the second quarter of 2021. Customer demand accelerated during the quarter primarily due to vaccinations, stimulus checks, pent-up demand for restocking wardrobes, consumers returning to offices and social events, or a combination of all of the above.

~~Third~~The Company’s legacy brands: Florsheim, Nunn Bush, and Stacy Adams, all bounced back strongly this Spring, with Florsheim being the outstanding performer. With events such as weddings and formal gatherings on the calendar, there was renewed demand in the market for more refined footwear. At the same time, retailers had reduced both their dress and dress-casual style offerings and inventory levels. Florsheim, Nunn Bush and Stacy Adams, all were able to address this void in the market as Weyco Group was one of the few footwear wholesalers that stocked significant inventory. The Company saw both unprecedented sell throughs at the retail levels and corresponding orders at the wholesale levels, as retailers pivoted strongly back to the refined footwear category. The Company should see continued pipeline fill to its retailers throughout the second half of 2021.

While the Company is pleased with the performance of the legacy brands, it also is excited about the breakthroughs it experienced this Spring with casual footwear. The pandemic pushed the Company to accelerate development, delivery, and selling of more causal, athletic-inspired footwear to fit the more relaxed lifestyle trend in apparel that, over the long-term, will continue to grow in importance. Florsheim, Nunn Bush, and Stacy Adams all significantly increased the percentage of purely casual shoes. The consumer has responded well with certain styles being among our top sellers in our direct-to-consumer business. It is our expectation that the Company will continue to grow its casual mix which will complement our strong position in the more refined footwear segment.

BOGS also had an excellent Spring. While second quarter is the smallest shipping period for BOGS, sales were up significantly over both 2020 and 2019. The outdoor footwear market has been robust through the pandemic and the Company continues to see strong retail performance across trade channels. Given the shortages in the outdoor boot market in Fall 2020, management believes that BOGS will

have a strong second half of the year, as retailers are taking a more aggressive inventory position on the BOGS brand and the outdoor boot category.

In June, the Company acquired the Forsake brand which was a pioneer in the sneaker boot category. Forsake will be headquartered in Portland, and will leverage our back office and distribution infrastructure in Milwaukee. The cofounders of Forsake, Jake Anderson and Sam Barstow, have joined Weyco Group, and will continue to lead the business going forward. The Forsake brand further expands the Company’s reach into the outdoor category which management believes will be a growth avenue for the Company. While Forsake is currently small in volume, it can be found in a range of important outdoor retailers, and has a growing direct-to-consumer e-commerce business that the Company can leverage using its successful e-commerce platform.

In regards to Weyco’s direct-to-consumer retail business, same store sales jumped 73% in the second quarter. From a volume perspective, the increase was driven by a 43% increase in e-commerce sales with all of the legacy brands registering strong double-digit gains. The Company reduced its brick and mortar store count as it exited its most unprofitable locations in 2020. Sales at the four remaining stores all registered significant increases over the same period last year when the malls were largely closed. The Company’s business model for direct-to-consumer is greatly improved. The Company is less promotional versus the prior year period, and the increase in e-commerce allows it to leverage the fixed cost investment that has been made in past year to grow this area of the business.

The Company’s international businesses greatly improved against 2020, when it was experiencing store closings across key markets in Australia /New Zealand and the Pacific Rim. Business has rebounded from both a sales and profitability perspective. In Australia, which is a significant market for Weyco, the pandemic has allowed the Company to reset the business model by exiting unprofitable stores and renegotiating leases that allow for greater profit potential. In addition, our international e-commerce businesses continue to grow nicely for both Florsheim and BOGS. However, recent developments related to the Delta variant in Australia have led to renewed lockdowns in key provinces and now create an uncertain outlook for the balance of the year.

Second Quarter Highlights

Consolidated net sales for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017~~2021 were ~~$76.9~~$57.6 million ~~down 3% as~~ compared to last year’s ~~third~~second quarter net sales of ~~$79.1~~$16.6 million. ~~Earnings from operations~~Consolidated operating earnings were ~~$7.8~~$4.5 million for the quarter compared to operating losses of $13.0 million in ~~both 2017 and 2016. Consolidated~~last year’s second quarter. Net earnings rose to $3.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, from net ~~earnings attributable to Weyco Group, Inc. increased 7% to $4.9~~losses of $8.9 million, ~~in 2017, up from $4.6 million last year.

~~The~~Last year’s second quarter results were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as most retailers, including the Company’s retail stores, were closed for a majority of the ~~decrease~~quarter. As such, comparisons of 2021 financial performance to the significantly impacted 2020 periods may have limited utility. Therefore, herein this document, the Company included selected comparisons to 2019 as appropriate. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 rose to approximately 95% of second quarter 2019 sales levels, demonstrating strong recovery to near pre-pandemic levels. The Company’s earnings also rebounded, exceeding second quarter 2019 levels.

On June 7, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and certain liabilities of Forsake, Inc., a distributor of outdoor footwear, under the brand name “Forsake.” The principal assets acquired were inventory, accounts receivable, and intellectual property, including the Forsake brand name. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $2.6 million, plus contingent payments to be paid annually over a period of five years, depending on Forsake achieving certain performance measures. The Company’s estimate of the discounted fair value of the contingent payments is approximately $1.4 million in ~~consolidated net sales came from~~total. The transaction was funded with the Company’s wholesale segment. Wholesale net sales declined $1.4 million, due mainly to lower sales of the Stacy Adams, Nunn Bush, and BOGS brands, partially offset by higher sales of the Florsheim brand. Net sales of the Company’s retail segment and its other operations were also down.available cash.

Consolidated earnings from operations were relatively flat for the quarter. Earnings from operations in the Company’s wholesale segment were up, due to higher gross margins and lower wholesale selling and administrative expenses, but this increase was offset by lower earnings from operations in the Company’s retail segment and its other operations.

~~Other expense was down due to lower pension expense in 2017.~~

~~Stacy Adams and Nunn Bush~~ sales for the ~~quarter~~three and ~~year-to-date periods~~six months ended June 30, 2021 were ~~down mainly with department stores. The increases in Florsheim sales were primarily~~up across all of the Company's brands due to ~~higher~~the resumption in sales following pandemic-related retail closures last year. Business recovery continues in the wholesale segment, with wholesale sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 rising to ~~department stores~~approximately 91% and ~~national shoe chains.

consumers returned to offices and many social events resumed.

Licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on the sales of branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States and on branded footwear in Mexico and certain overseas markets. Last year’s licensing revenues were down for the quarter and year-to-date periods, in line with reductions in licensees’ sales of branded products.

Earnings from Operations

~~Wholesale gross~~Gross earnings for the North American wholesale segment were ~~33.9%~~32.4% of net sales infor the ~~third~~ quarter, ~~of 2017,~~ compared to ~~32.2%~~34.7% of net sales in last year’s ~~third~~second quarter. Second quarter gross margins were negatively impacted by increased overseas freight costs. Due to bottlenecks in the supply chain, the Company has begun paying premium freight rates in order to reserve space on container ships. While management believes this is a temporary situation, management does see the challenges in the supply chain continuing into at least the beginning of 2022.

For the ~~first nine~~six months ~~of the year,~~ended June 30, wholesale gross earnings ~~rose to 32.1%~~were 33.3% of net sales in ~~2017, from 31.2%~~2021, compared to 32.3% of net sales in ~~2016. Gross~~2020. Last year’s gross margins ~~improved~~were down as a result of additional costs related to the tariff on certain footwear imported from China. The tariff of 15% took effect on September 1, 2019 and was subsequently reduced to 7.5% on February 14, 2020. The Company purchased a ~~reduction~~limited amount of inventory at the higher tariff rate, and, as a result, the tariff’s negative impact on gross margins lessoned as it sold through this inventory in ~~sales~~the latter part of ~~closeout inventory, which is sold at lower margins.~~

Wholesale selling and administrative expenses were ~~$13.2~~$10.9 million, or ~~22%~~26% of net sales, for the quarter, compared to $13.4 million, or 144% of net sales, in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017,~~2020. Second quarter 2021 expenses included approximately $1.8 million of wage subsidies received from the U.S. and ~~$13.3~~Canadian governments.

Expenses in the first half of 2020 included the write-off of approximately $3.3 million in JC Penney receivables, as noted above, partially offset by $1.4 million of income from U.S. and Canada government wage subsidies.

Second quarter 2021 wholesale operating earnings exceeded 2019 levels, due in part to government wage subsidies recognized during the period, and as a result of cost saving measures implemented over the past twelve months. While gross margins have been impacted by increased freight costs, the cost savings implemented by the Company have helped mitigated that impact.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the wholesale segment ~~were~~had operating earnings of $4.0 million, up from operating losses of $7.4 million in the ~~third quarter~~same period of ~~2017, up 11% as compared to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.

The Company’s consolidated wholesale shipping and handling expenses were $353,000 and $408,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, consolidated wholesale shipping and handling expenses were $959,000 and $1.1$4.5 million in ~~2016.~~2021 and $5.7 million in 2020.
