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,~~2023, may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

~~New Accounting Pronouncements~~

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 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, which would impact the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes.

2.New Accounting Pronouncement

Recently Adopted

In ~~March 2017,~~June 2016, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)~~FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~No. 2017-07~~2016-13, ~~“Improving~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU modifies the ~~Presentation~~measurement of ~~Net Periodic Pension Cost~~expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, based on historical experience, current conditions, and ~~Net Periodic Post Retirement Benefit Cost”(“ASU 2017-07”). This new standard requires that employers disaggregate the service~~reasonable forecasts, and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, ~~component from the other components of~~including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net ~~periodic pension cost~~investments in 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, 2017leases, 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.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "~~~~Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”~~ (“ASU 2016-09”). This new standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements,trade accounts receivable as well as ~~specifies~~certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to reinvested earnings in the ~~classification~~period of ~~certain cash flows associated with share-based payment transactions within the statements~~adoption. We adopted this standard in first quarter of ~~cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017.~~2023. The adoption of this standard ~~resulted 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 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. This guidance 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~~our consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify other impacts. The Company currently plans to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently planning to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach.statements or related disclosures.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “~~~~Leases.~~” This new standard requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by finance and operating leases with terms exceeding 12 months as assets and liabilities on their balance sheets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

~~Reclassifications~~

~~Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of~~ 3.Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) were reclassified to conform to current year presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $424,000 and $1,272,000, respectively, of expense from selling and administrative expenses to other expense, net. These amounts represent the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost for the periods then ended, and were reclassified in connection with the adoption of ASU 2017-07. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings or equity.

Investments, at fair value

At both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $0.1 million of cash invested in highly liquid taxable bond funds. We classify these investments as trading securities and report them at fair value. There were no significant unrealized gains or losses on these investments in the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The fair value measurements of these investments are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and thus represent a Level 1 valuation as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

The majority of ~~the Company’s~~our operations are in the United States and ~~its~~our results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and ~~the~~ retail environment in the United States.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

After a strong 2022, during which our sales were lifted to record levels by a combination of post-pandemic retailer pipeline fill as well as strong consumer demand, 2023 represents a return to the footwear industry’s normal cyclical challenges. We are seeing consumer discretionary purchases shift away from products like footwear and apparel, and more towards experiential expenditures like travel and dining out. As such, previously elevated footwear sales returned to historical norms, and our customers have become much more cautious as far as their inventory levels. This trend is reflected in our sales in the second quarter of 2023 across all our major brands.

~~Third~~In our legacy business, Florsheim sales were down 11%, Stacy Adams was down 17%, and Nunn Bush was down 1% compared to last year’s second quarter. By comparison, all three brands experienced significant increases in the second quarter of 2022, and the shipment decrease is indicative of the overall slowdown in the industry. Sell-throughs for Florsheim, Stacy Adams, and Nunn Bush are tracking slightly above levels seen prior to the pandemic. Our focus for our legacy brands is threefold. First, we are focused on maintaining our leadership position in the dress-footwear market through superior product and value. Many of our competitors have vacated this category, while we see dress footwear as an evergreen market and a core competency of our company. Second, we are focused on continuing to develop new products that fit evolving consumer preferences. While we have benefitted from renewed interest in dress footwear over the last two years, we need to continue to diversify our product assortment. Florsheim, and especially Nunn Bush, have made good progress in terms of increasing their percent of casual sales. Meanwhile, all three brands have been growing hybrid footwear as an important part of their mix. A third and final area of focus is to make sure we are disciplined in terms of our approach to style count and inventory. Over the last few years, supply chain challenges resulted in large deficits and then surpluses in our base inventory. Due to the current industry slowdown, we are working through a higher level of slow-moving footwear than normal. We believe this is a manageable situation given the combination of our strong gross margins and a return to more predictable manufacturing and sales cycles.

Our BOGS business was down 35% versus the second quarter of 2022. BOGS’ second quarter performance was impacted by an oversaturated outdoor footwear and weather boot market. Retailers are taking a very conservative approach to ordering for the second half of the year as they work through their current inventory. As a result, our confirmed orders are lower than last year for our Fall key selling season, and we will be reliant on a heavier percentage of at-once orders than in years past. Achieving normal Fall shipment results for the brand will be dependent on external factors such as favorable weather conditions. We have adjusted our planned inventory for BOGS down to manage the softness in the category. Like our legacy brands, our BOGS inventory is turning more slowly than normal, but we also believe this slowness will be a short-term situation.

In regards to Forsake, sales were up 5% over last year’s second quarter. The brand remains a work-in-progress but we are pleased with the retail selling of some of the new styles we have introduced.

Retail sales were up 3% for the quarter compared to the same period last year. The solid performance of our retail business has been encouraging as our sales have been outperforming the industry in 2023. Our e-commerce team has done excellent work throughout 2023 driving sales in a tough environment while keeping costs in line.

Sales at Florsheim Australia, which is comprised of the Australian, New Zealand, Pacific Rim and South African markets, were down slightly for the second quarter, but in local currency, sales were up 7% over last year’s second quarter. Our overall Florsheim Australia business held up well given these markets are facing some of the same macro-economic challenges we are experiencing in the U.S. Our business model in Australia and New Zealand, as well as in South Africa, is on sound footing and we believe that we are positioned well for the long-term. However, we have decided to close our Hong Kong office and distribution center and wind down our Asia Pacific wholesale and retail division with a target date of the end of 2023. For the past number of years, our Asia Pacific business has struggled to be profitable, and we do not anticipate an opportunity to improve our prospects in the foreseeable future. We are not abandoning the region entirely and plan to maintain the larger wholesale accounts by transferring them to our Australian office. We currently have six retail outlets in Asia, consisting primarily of shop-in-shops, which will be closed as our lease agreements expire.

~~Stacy Adams and Nunn Bush~~net sales for the second quarter were lower across all our major brands (Stacy Adams, Nunn Bush, Florsheim, and ~~year-to-date periods were down mainly with department stores. The increases in Florsheim sales were primarily~~BOGS/Rafters) due to ~~higher sales to department stores and national shoe chains. BOGS~~reduced demand in 2023 following record growth in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, wholesale net sales were down 4% compared to the first six months of 2022. Last year’s net sales were up significantly due to post-pandemic retailer pipeline fill and strong consumer demand. So far in 2023, all our major brands have experienced decreases in pairs sold, as ~~a result of lower sales with outdoor retailers.~~

the footwear industry returned to its normal cycle. Decreases in pairs sold were partially offset by higher unit selling prices this year.

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.

Earnings from Operations

Wholesale gross earnings were ~~33.9%~~37.0% of net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017,~~2023 compared to ~~32.2%~~33.7% of net sales in last ~~year’s third quarter. For the first nine months of the year, wholesale gross earnings rose to 32.1% of net sales in 2017, from 31.2% of net sales in 2016.~~year. Gross margins for the quarter improved as a result of selling price increases implemented in 2022 to address higher costs. For the six months ended June 30, wholesale gross earnings were 37.7% of net sales in 2023 compared to 31.7% of net sales in 2022.

Same store sales, which include sales of both the U.S. internet business and brick and mortar same stores, were down 10% and 6% for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The ~~decrease between years~~increase in 2023 was primarily due to higher net earnings and changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally accounts receivable and inventory. Our overall inventory as of June 30, 2023 was $103.9 million, down from $128.0 million at December 31, 2022. We have continued to bring down our inventory levels as supply chains have normalized, allowing us to bring in shoes closer to need.

~~The Company~~We paid ~~cash~~ dividends ~~of $9.1~~totaling $6.9 million and ~~$8.8~~$4.6 million ~~during~~in the ~~nine~~first six-months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in 2023 was due to a shift in timing of our quarterly dividend payment schedule; the first six months ~~ended~~of 2023 included three quarterly dividend payments, as our fourth quarter 2022 dividend was paid in early January 2023. Conversely, the first half of 2022 only included two quarterly dividend payments, as our fourth quarter 2021 dividend was paid in December 2021. On August 1, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to all shareholders of record on August 25, 2023, payable September ~~30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.~~29, 2023.

On October 31, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.0 million shares of its common stock under its repurchase program, bringing the total available to purchase to approximately 1.1 million shares. See Part II, Item 2, ~~“Unregistered~~“Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of ~~Proceeds”~~Proceeds” below for more information.

Capital expenditures totaled $1.4 ~~million~~ in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2017.~~2023. Management estimates that annual capital expenditures for ~~2016~~2023 will be between ~~$1.5~~$2.0 million and ~~$2.0~~$4.0 million.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, the Company~~2023, we had a ~~$60~~$50.0 million ~~unsecured~~ revolving line of credit with a bank ~~expiring November 3, 2017. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75%. The Company borrowed~~that is secured by a ~~net of $0.5 million~~lien against our general business assets, and expires on September 28, 2023.
